An Unusual Case-Leeds News
Mr.. and MIS-. John Dix, residing a
short distance north of Cando, were
arrested and brought before a Justice
on charge of refusing ro-send their
three deaf and dumb children-to the
state school at Devils Lake. The
parents after the case--had been tried,
were found guilty and fined. S2O each,
which with costs amounted to 1853.
Tie parents have yet refused to send
the childlen to the institution and
further developments ale expected.
The children are aged .16, 13 and 9
years and have not received any ed
ucation whatever. Superintendent
Bangs OF the state school has been
quite busy with the case for some
time and finally took recourse to the
courts. Under the law should the
parents fail to send their children
within she next ten days. they can
again be arrested and fined $50 each.
When the first fine was imposed the
Dix people refused to settle ana were
placed in jail, but finally decided 1t
was best to pay the fine.
Freeze Up--Saturday night the
annual freeze up in this state oc-
Cured about,,on time. The weather
changed Friday and the wind began
blowing from the north west accom-
panied by slight rain. During the
night Saturday all the pond and
most OF the large lakes froze over
solid. A slight fall'of snow occurred
Saturday night and continued during
the morning. A great deal OF fall
blowing has been done but all work
of that kind is stopped, probably for
the winter. Farmers who have plen-
ty of hay are to be congratulated.

Horace's Garden

The following shows how happy
Horace was with the little Sabine
farm given him by Maecenas about
33 years before Christ:
my prayers with this I used to
charge,
A piece OF land not very large,
Wherein there should garden be,
A clear spring flowing ceaselessly,
And where, tocrown the whole, there
should
A patch be found Of growing wood.
All this, and more, the gods have sent,
And am heartily content. Horace.
