of his mother.
Mrs. G.. E. Ogen, sister of
Mrs. S. |. Lewis, returned to
Fargo Thursday after two
weeks visit with Mrs. Lewis
and her mother and sister
southwest of town.
Mrs. Ed. Loucks left the first
of the week for Bow Island,
Canada, where she will join
her husband and enjoy home
stead life for awhile. Her
many friends here wish her
we'll in her new home.
Mr.. and Mrs. G. L. Newhouse
and Peter Scott, ex-register OF
deeds, came over from Botti-
neau last Saturday in Mr.. New
houses auto and remained un-
til Monday. Mr.. and Mrs.
Newhouse were the guests of
Mr.. and Mrs. Martin Tillotson
during their stay here.
The Masons of this place held
a meeting last Friday to con-
slider the possibility of organic
ing a lodge here and another
meeting will be held soon.
There is a sufficient number of
members of that order here and
tributary to here to obtain a
charter and a lodge will be in
stituted here in the near future.
Senator G.. d. Rice and wife
of Towner and Mrs. Robinson
of Minneapolis, in company
with Mr.. and Mrs. Will Free
man came over from BOttineau
Thursday morning where on
the day previous they attended
the laying of the corner stone
ceremonies of the new School
of Forestry building. The
three former returned to Town
er on Thursday mornings train.
A. G.. Teeple of Union Mills,
Ind, is here on his annual har-
vest visit. Mr.. Teeple has a
quarter section of land near
here and thinks it is fine in
vestrnent. There were four
teen men in the party which
arrived the first of the week
part of them stopping off at
Newburg. The men in this
party are the kind that are
wanted here as some of them
are seeking investments while
others are looking around with
view to remaining perna-
nently. In the party are two
experienced separator men and
two en- ngineers. Part of them
will make their headquarters
with Fred Powers.

the most, she had become unwillingly
entangled in this almost unfathomable
mystery, which seemed to grow from

New Austrian Railway.

Hitherto tourists from the United
States who chose the southern trip to
Europe left the steamer at Gibraltar
or Naples, but many, chiefly those
who had already been in Italy, now
come to Trieste and continue from
here their voyage by the new Aus
trian railway. There can hardly be
a more beautiful country than tho
regions which are made accessible by
this new Transalpine railroad. The
new railway is owned by the state,
and is 130 miles long. There are 49
tunnels, with total length Of ten
miles. There are SO bridges, one of
which, across the river Izonzo, has
the longest stone span in the world.
There are, besides, as many as 67s
smaller bridges and viaducts.-Con.

is the Sailors Friend.

Sixty thousand sailors look to II. A.
Hanbury for advice and for protec-
tion. Mr.. Hanbury IL the United
States shipping commissioner fo. the
port of New York. He is the sailors
judge and jury. The men who sign
on foreign craft now must appear be-
fore him for their papers instead of
going to the consuls of the various
countries. He decides all disputed
questions between the men and their
sailing masters. Many of the abuses
of these men that formerly were COM
mon, such as compelling them to buy
their outfits from the ship owners or
captains, have been done away with
under Mr.. Hanbury's rule. His office
is on the Battery park, New York,
where he easily can reach all the
ships leaving that port.

A Machine for Inducing Hypnotism.
The Little Knob Claims and
Holds the Subjects Attention.

notist is the hypnotic ball 1t might
be mistaken for the half hour of an
hour-glass mounted upon short
handle of ebony. 1t is, in fact, a glass
ball, half-filled with sand, and having
a bottle-mouth, into which the wooden
handle fits snugly. Stuck into the in
terror extremity of this handle-the
end protruding inside the ball-is a pin,
whose head extends to the center of
the transparent globe. The sand is
dyed a bright indigo blue, as is the
globular head of the pin Thus we
have little ball-the pinhead-with-
in a larger transparent one, and be-
tween the two, bright colored pow
der.
The subject concentrates his eyes
upon the pinhead, while the ball, held
at about the height of his head, is re-
volved by the operator with both a
circular and rotary motion within a
foot of the subjects eyes. The ro-
tary manipulations cause the sand to
fall like a cascade behind the pin
head.
Thus there are three movements
circular, rotary, and vertical-all in
tended to puzzle vision as it inquisi-
lively follows the ball.
"In this way the ocular muscles be-
come quickly fatigued, the influence
being an exaggeration of the soporific
stimulus caused by the rapid flight of
the landscape past car window, or
the rapid change of environment view
ed from a rapNly moving swing. That
which fatigues the ocular muscles, Of
course, favors sleep. and physiological
drowsiness is but the vestibule to the
hypnotic state. The eyelids becom-
ing heavy, the skilled hypnologist has
but to command 'Sleep!' and the SEN
sitive is then ready to abide by his
will"

CHAPTER XVI.
From Another Angle.

Miss Carney knew nothing of the
letter that Miss Weston had received
from Mrs. Bruce, and when l saw her
again, just before luncheon, she ex-
pressed great concern over her friends
condition.
do you know, Mr.. Ware" she said
anxiously, annie was dreadfully up
set over that note this morning. She
has shut herself in her room all day
and even refuses to see me. | have
just tried to persuade her to come
down to luncheon, but she won't do it,
and says she doesn't want anything
sent up, either. She has so little
strength now that it worries me to
have her go without her meals in this
way, and then, she has been crying,
too, which is very bad for her and a
thing that she almost never does. /

With the arm fully extended, which
is roughly equal to a distance of six
feet between the eye and lens, the OBJ
ject has it's maximum magnification,
though at this distance there is a
slight blurring.
The best way to use the 'unilens" Is
to sit down and rest the hand holding
the stick on the knee, when the glass
is about four feet distant from the
eye, and the user is able to see OBJ
jects clearly and sharply.
The lens has the great advantage Of
always being in focus and it is USE
full aid to the natural sight in the ex.
animation of hanging pictures, the ar.
chitectural features of buildings, and
similar objects. Although the appIi
ance is not suited to all sights, three
people out of every four can use the
"unilens" quite satisfac torily, And
with good results.

INSURANCE INVESTMENTS.
How One cempany's Assets Are Dis
tributed In the South and West.

In connection with it's withdrawal
from Texas, along with many other
companies, rather than to submit to
the new law which requires that 1870
of the reserves on Texas policies shall
be invested in securities of that state,
which securities shall be deposited in
the state and subjected to heavy taxa
tion, In addition to the large tax now
imposed on life insurance premiums,
the Equitable Life Assurance Society
has made public the distribution of its
assets, at the end of the second year
of the new management. The Equit-
able now has $10,95S, 900 invested in
Texas, which Is twice as much as the
new law requires, but the manage
ment decided that to submit to the
additional taxation would be an injus-
tice to it's policyholders in other
states, which impose no such penalty
on the thrift of their citizens.
The Equitable's report shows that
more than 37%o of its total reserves
are now invested in the southern and
western states, while only $3.50 of its
total insurance is carried in these
states. It's investments are distributed

New Automatic Rifle.

The self-loading or automatic musk
ct is nov being seriously considered
as the infantry arm of the future. The
equipment of the great armies of the
world with an improved rifle is hardly
completed when the mechanics begin
work on new weapon. At the recent
examinations of the German War
Academy the automatic rifle was one
of the themes for discussion. The
piece now on trial has a magazine
holding ten cartridges; the recoll is
utilized to load and cock. Consequent

A novel form Of field-glass or tele.
scope of a remarkably portable and
handy description has been invented
by Major Baden-Powell, F. r. A. S.
1t consists of a single convex lens,
21s inches in diameter, mounted in a
metal rim, and may be carried in the
waistcoat pocket. The mount has a
small clip and screw, enabling the
lens to be attached to walking-sticlS
Or umbrella.
The invention is thoroughly practi-
cal, and with it large view of dis
tant objects may be obtained, the
maximum magnification being about
four diameters.
The "unilens" is the most efficient
when mounted on a walking-stick and
held at arms length, as the further

Says Mr.. Watkins:
"a candle placed behind an ordi-
nary brown or colored bottle is some
times used in lieu of hypnotic lamp.
The candle flame focuses itself at .
spot on the side of the bottle nearest
the patient. WHO has been given the
suggestion that sleep will result
when, after staring fixedly at this
spot, the light will go out The candle,
cut short for the purpose, burns itself
out, and the sensitive consequently
falls asleep when there is no longer
vestige of light in the room"

Clever Mechanical Devices That VIII

GUS at first, but we soon explained
them without the slightest difficulty"
AS | said these words | thanked my
caution to keep Miss Carney in ig-
norance concerning the cigar case and
the odor of the rags that we found in
jerks possession. For my part, the
mystery of Carney Croft seemed to be
growing deeper and deeper, and yet I
felt it my duty to my hostess to make
as light of the matter as possible, es-
pecially in the presence of her other
guests.
After breakfast Miss Carney and
walked down toward the river to-
gether and passed the spot where Mac
Ardel had questioned jerks and the
widow.
This is where you saw the ghosts,
isn't it?" asked Miss Carney, with a
little nervous shudder.
''Yes," | replied, "and we could have
captured them, too, if we had not been
so sure that we already had bigger
game in our hands"

Miss Carney. "She didn't seem to
mind it at all until then, you know. y
1T almost seemed to me that she

"and l don't understand it at ALL But

when l cannot recognize it myself? 1t

but / wish she did not take it so seri-
ously, for the least little thing uses

Nothing was said at the luncheon
table about the affair of the morning,
ed to give an air of gloom to the
whole party.
In the afternoon I wandered about
the grounds by myself, trying to de-
eide what l ought to do. The guam
dary l was in was not one to be easily
surmounted, for, while I realized that
my duty to Miss Carney, as well as
my own personal inclinations in the
matter, called upon me most impera-
lively to clear up this mystery prompt
ly and at any cost, was still con-
vinced that Miss Weston's share in
the affair was entirely unexpected by
her and due to no wilful act of her
own, and the pathetic appeal in her
eyes when I handed her Mrs. Bruce's
letter was enough to make me pre-
serve her secret faithfully for the
present at least.

COFFEE COMPLEXION.
Many Ladies Have Poor Compilations
from Coffee.

Coffee caused dark colored blotches
on my face and body. | had been
drinking it for long while and these
blotches gradually appeared, until
finally they became permanent and
were about as dark as coffee itself.
Il formerly had as fine complex
ion as one could ask for.
when l became convinced that cof-
fee was the cause of my trouble, l
changed and took to using Postum
Food Coffee, and as l made 1t well, ac-
cording to directions, liked it very
much, and have since that time used
1t in place of coffee.
Il am thankful to say am not ner-
vous any more, as l was when | was
drinking coffee, and my complexion is
now as fair and good as it was years
ago. 1t is very plain that coffee caused
the trouble"
Most bad complications are caused
by some disturbance of the stomach
and coffee is the greatest disturber of
digestion known. Almost any woman
can have fair complexion if she will
leave off coffee and use Postum Food
Coffee and nutritious, healthy food in
proper quantity Postum furnishes
certain elements from the natural
grains from the field that Nature uses
to rebuild the nervous system and
when that is in good condition, one
can depend upon a good complexion
as well as a good healthy body.
