How Pinero Works.

Mr. A. W. Pinero has an unusual
method of writing his plays. His work
ing day does not begin until that OF
the average city man is over. In the
morning he goes out, preferably on
his bicycle, returning in time for an
early dinner. Then he has a comfor.
table sleep, and on waking up, late in
the afternoon, he prepares for bust
ness. After a cup of tea he goes to
his desk and remains working at his
play until far into the night.

FUEL AND FOOD IN PLENTY
THIRTEEN CITIES OF NORTH DA-

DENIAL.

Bismarck, Jan. 27.-Reports having
this section of the state We're in want
of provisions and fuel, the following
denial has been secured by telephone
from various commercial clubs:
"Whereas, Reports have been pro-
miscuously circulated in the daily pa
pers of the country that there exists
a fuel and food famine in certain por-
ions of North Dakota; and,
whereas, The undersigned com
mercial clubs, representing the under
signed cities in the western portion Of
North Dakota, on the Northern Pacific
and the 500 railways, comprising the
territory included in the counties of
Morton, Burleigh, Emmons, Kidder,
Mclean, Stark, Oliver, Billings, Mer-
after thorough investigation of facts,
submit:
No Fuel Famine.
THAT there is absolutely no fuel
famine in any portion of that part OF
North Dakota designated as the Mis-
soli slope and including the counties
above named, but, on the contrary, the
entire country is ab%undantly supplied
with native Ignite, coal exclusively
used by the residents thereof. The
people of this section of the country
are Independent of railroads for their
fuel supply.
THAT there is no food famine in
any section of the territory named,
and no suffering existing among the
people.
Live Stock Is Safe.
THAT there is no loss of live stock
In any portion of Western North Da-
kota, and it has been unnecessary to
feed stock to any great extent, same
grazing on the ranges.
investigations further disclose that
there is absolutely no necessity for
aid of any kind to be extended to set
tiers in this section of the state, and
that many of the reports put in circu-

and are unjust to that section Of the
state involved"

him when a messenger informed her
that her son was dead. He then told
her the circumstances connected with
the case.

and Central avenue about S:15. He left
them and walked toward the saloon of
Thomas Craig, on the same corner, as
IL to enter. On the threshold he
stopped then suddenly turned and
walked to the curb. looked around,
then took the bottle from his pocket
and swallowed it's contents.

act and ran into the saloon and called
up the city Hospital, and several men
went out and tried to help the man,
who was in great agony. The ambu-
lance soon arrived and the suffering
man was rushed to the hospital, where
he lived but q. few minutes. County

morning pronounced the case one Of
