Their Silence.
1t is said that in Korea after q ma

Newkirk in the Boston Post. This IS
In conformity to custom and caste.
A Korean wife does not after mar
rage become absolutely mute, but
she does not speak unless necessi-
ty demands it. And, by the way,
if none of US talked any more
than necessity demanded this world
would be full of large chunks of ST
lence. The Korean wife does not chat.
ter like parrakeet Hot air is some
thing in which she does not deal. Of
course If the house got on fire she
would mention it, or if she were to
step on snake she wouldn't try to
keep the fact secret, but she does not
talk over the back fence when she is
bringing in the wash or converse with
her neighbor when she is washing the
windows. If she did, she would lose
her caste and her social rating would
slump faster than copper stock.
Probably many brutal husband
who reads these lines will sigh and
say. "Ah, that my wife were a Ko-
rean! There has an impression got
abroad in this land Of the free and the
home of the CRATER that our women
are endless and tiresome takers. In
the eyes Of the masses the American
wife holds the long distance record as
continuous conversationalist. And
upon this impression jests and jokelets
are freely built. The eternally talking
wife is prolific source of inspiration
for comic weeklies and the vaudeville
stage. Two comedians come down

tighten the weight and increase the
speed. Almost before she had settled
herself the car shot forward again.
She turned to look back and gave a
little cry. Just as they passed an open
space her father had come out on the
piazza and had seen them. She could
now discern his figure running toward
the garage as a clump Of trees inter
vened.

she suggested after she had told Dan
of her discovery.
He shook his head.

The car shot forward, and while the
girl looked back to discover the an
proach of the pursuers Dan kept his
glance fastened upon the road ahead
and gripped the steering wheel with
a firmer clutch. They were going at
speed that required the utmost care in
steering, and he could not turn to look
back.
For ten minutes they sped along, and
still no pursuit was reported. Dan be-
gan to hope that all would go well.
Two miles beyond the road made a
sharp turn through a thickly wooded
tract, and Dan slowed up slightly for
the curve. As they came round the
bend he uttered an exclamation and
shut off the speed. Just ahead a wag-
on had been drawn across the road,
and he was compelled to come to
halt.

Returns Of Occupations That Are Diff
ficlIt to Classify.
According to an official Of the census
bureau at Washington. that organiza-
ton is often puzzled to know how to
classify the returns of occupation in
cases where the enumerators have
given too literal description Of a
persons employment. There are two
census terms to cover such cases. Oc-
equations not included in the regular
list may be entered as 90 t." mean
ing ''other things" or IN. g." which
stands for mot gainful." To choose
between the two sometimes suggests
amusing complications.
An enumeration in Iowa reported
"drunkard" as the occupation of one
Of his men. The census bureau en-
tered him as IN. g." since the next
column asserted this to be his occupa-
ton for twelve months in the year.

NUISANCE ORDINANCE
PASSED AGAIN
But Stringent Amendments were
Lost...James Briggs is a New
ly Elected Alderman lizard
Fight Made for Lambert.
TWO WERE RELEASED.

At the meeting of the city
council Monday night, James w.
Briggs was elected alderman of
the fifth district to con plete the
term Of Alderman Tasker, who
recently moved to Canada. Mr..
Briggs received seven votes, the
aldermen voting in his favor,
being Chas. Grow, Del Irish,
George w. Burke, James SEQ
field, P. Vandenoever, John Ehr,
C. L. Prescott.
F. 3. Lambert received three
votes from F. A. Baker, J. E.
Nc Koane, and T. T. jacobson.
| Alderman Hendric kson was not
present.
Mr.. Lambert's friends put up
a hard fight for him. A petition
signed by thirty-nine of the vot-
ers Of the Fifth ward was pre-
sented to the council on that
evening. Mr.. Lambert stated to
an Independent reporter that he
did not care for the office, but
would accept it if elected.
Mr.. Briggs, the newly elected
alderman, has lived in Minot for
several years and is betterknown
as Ex-Register of Deeds perhaps
than in any other manner. For
four years he held that office to
the satisfaction of practically ev-
eryone in the county, for. it can
be said truthfully that ere
never was better register of
deeds in any county than Jim
Briggs. If he just keeps up his
record as an alderman, there will
be no complaints made. How
ever, an alderman in the city of
Minot has a hard row to hoe, for
there are a lot Of people to be
suited, and they all seem to have
different opinions.
The nuisance ordinance was
passed at its second reading
Monday night. This ordinance
regulates gambling in all of it's
forms and if enforced, will put a
quietus on its many forms which
have existed in Minot since time
immemorial.
An effort was made to pass
amendments to this ordinance
which would have put the lid on
all the harder, but this lost.
The mayor is expected to put
his signature to the new crdi-
nance.

LEACH SET EREE.
T.. H. Leach who was charged
with forging a check, pleaded
guilty. AS the grand jury
recommended mercy, he was al
lowed to go. Leach forged a
check for $40 on Devereaux Bros.
when he was intoxicated. He
paid the money sometime ago.
WAS ONCE INSANE.
Mrs. George Shear who was
charged with attemptingt to COM
NIT suicide, also received a recon-
mendation for leniency from the
grand Jury and Judge Goss or
dered the sheriff to buy her a
ticket to the home of her sister
in South Dakota. This is an
unusual proceeding, but the
Judge did just right III this case.
Mrs. Shear told the jury that she
was once insane and that she
was ten. porarily insane when she
attempted to kill herself in the
Hotel DacOtah in MinOt.
GLENBURN HORSE THIEVES.
The two young horse thieves
from Glenburn entered a plea OF
guilty and will be sentenced to
Bismarck, no doubt. They stole
a twenty year old team and
buggy from VIM. Healev and
left for Canada. The horses and
buggy were recovered.

HAMILTON INDICTED.
Saturday afternoon, the grand
jury returned an indictment
against Harry Hamilton, the
man who pointed a gun at
Sheriff Lee and threatened to
kill him when Lee met Hamilton
in his auto. Hamilton had a
particular aversion for autos
and their drivers and when he
met Mr.. Lee in the road near
Burlington last summer, he
pulled a gun, not knowing that
he had gotten the drop on the
Ward county sheriff. Later when
Lee followed Hamilton several
miles and got the drop on him,
arresting him, he came to his
senses.
Hamilton it is said is also want
ed in Illinois, having jumped his
parole from the Joliet penitenti-
ary.
HAYES CONVICTED.
Hayes, a tough character who
stole trousers from the Leland
Department and keavin Depart
ment stores, was tried Saturday
afternoon. In just ten minutes
from the time they went out, the
jury returned a sentence OF guilty.
FIVE MORE INDICTMENTS.
The grand jury returned five
more indictments Wednesday
morning, only one OF which is
made public. Henry Lee was in
dicted for uttering obscene Ian
guage iD the presence OF children
and pleading guilty, was held to
district court under $500 which
he furnished. He lives near Car
pio.
Thomas Kennedy, who was in
dicted for pigging, is missing
and is believed to be in Minneap-
oils, his old home.
CASE POSTPONED.
The case of the Moline Plow
Co. VS.. j. A. Englund OF Ken
mare was brot up Monday morn
ing, but owing to the absence Of
the material witness, who was
unable to come on account of
the tie-up on the roads, the case
was postponed until Tuesday.
PIGGER IS SENTENCED.
The grand Jury showed its ef-
fectiveness when it returned an
indictment against Ole Nelson,
charged with fracturing the pro-
hibition law. Ole plead guilty,
whereupon Judge Goss immedi-
ateIy sentenced him to ninety
days in Jail and fined him 5000.
Ole regards this as a Christmas
present long delayed and will no
doubt ponder over his misdeeds
a great deal.
TWO MORE INDICTED.
Barnard Farley and Edward
Morgan were indicted by the
grand jury, charged with receiv-
ing stolen property knowing at
the time that the property was
stolen. They entered a plea OF
not guilty and OF course will
stand trial.
HAMILTON CHANGES HIS MIND.

has a right to change her mind,
