Intoxicated Man at Devils Lake Elk.
Peeted to Get Word From
Roosevelt.

DEVILS Lake, North Dakota Journal.
A man who was badly under the in
fuence of liquor created something OF
a surprise at the postofiice when he
approached the delivery window and
demanded a letter from Roosevelt. Half
a dozen people who were in line watt
ing for their mail almost had their
breath taken away when they heard
the request. The man was positive
that he was to get a letter from the
President. When he did not get the
letter he turned away and said that
he would come back in the evening as
he was sure that Roosevelt was going
TO write to him. He was a middle
aged man and a harvest hand. No one
knows why he thought he would re-
ceive a letter from President Roose-
welt, but it may be that he has been
working I'm the harvest fields and
thinks the president should send him
a letter congratulating him upon his
effort 10 make an honest living There
are some of the hoboes drifting about
i the city who would undoubtedly ex-
lpect something out of the ordinary 10
happen If they got in three days steady
work 1t would mean a big drunk at
! the end Of that time, to say the least

A Happy Home

is often turned to place or dlssatls- faction, hair-pulling matches, jawlng and scolding contests and ever so many unhappy moments passed there, when it should always be . place of happiness, joy, continual Jo,- lification and merriment; and It all depends on the head of the house. For instance, the wife goes and buys tea and coffee and she makes sure to get trading stamps with each pur- chase. Goodness knows she's get ting poor quality, and the husband doesn't like his drinks at the table: but wifey doesn't care, she gets the trading stamps: but when hubby he- gins to drink intoxicants and comes home, sits at the table and tells wifey No tea or coffee for mine, she knows what's the matter. Well, if she purchased her tea and coffee at our store she'd have different life altogether; everything would he lovely But the husband sometimes Is to blame. We know one case where hubby told wifey he'd always get up and light the fire, but he changed his mind after the knot was tied and, of course, fight ensued. She raised particular Ned, so he went and ordered a gas stove, and he gets up and lights it every morning, and since then everything is serene. But he is a believer in drinking our tea and coffee, consequently his brain is level and he. is not quick tempered, because he always has used the nice tasting kind. That's the quality we sell.

Hartford. Nov 21.-The officers of the Clerks union have been eomplain- ing for the last month or two that non-uniOn clerks seemed to be able to get hold of union buttons and that union men are sometimes served by nOn-uniOn salesmen without knowing if.

BOARD OF SAFETY
Referred PeiiiioD For Boxing
 Bout 10 City Attorney.

An effort has been made to revive the sport of boxing in Waterbury, an application having come before the board of public safety at the meeting held yesterday for permission to hold a boxing bout on the evening of De- cember 6. All of the members seem- ed to favor the idea but there seemed an obstacle, or rather several of them to the project.
 Mayor Thoms favored it but he thought 1t might be against the law and Commissioner Minor, who is an- other lawyer, took the same view of it, but he also thought that in case of accident or something not expected happening and some one got hurt the city might be held responsible. For instance the whole attendance, or the principals might be arrested and it occurred to the commissioner that some one might come back at the city.
 Commissioner Spain asked why could not such athletic exhibitions be held in Waterbury as they are held 1 C1oCW W AClC
 Commissioner Minor said the peti- tioners the National Athletic club might be more specific as to what kind of boxing bout they intended | holding. A new law on such affairs says that an exhibition in which a blow is struck and one of the contest ants is counted out is prize fight and as such is forbidden in this state. Why not refer the matter to the city attorney, he asked, for his opinion. It | would be nice thing he said to per- init the exhibition and then have the whole push arrested. After consider | able discussion of this nature on mo- l tion of Commissioner Minor it was l voted to send copy of the petition to l the city attorney and see what he | thought of it. Very little of any other kind of business was transacted. Mayor Thoms presided at the meeting and all the members were present except Commissioner Andrews. William P. Daley, fireman, stationed at the North Willow street house, was re- ported to have absented himself from duty without leave. A cOmmunlca- tion from Dr M. J. Donahue stated that he had treated Daley for illness during the period of his absence. Monday next in the afternoon was set down to hear the case.
 Applications for appointments on the ,supernumeray police force were received from James J. Moore and Thomas F. Phalen. Moore took the examination along with another ap- plicant, Richard Mccarthy. Moore 1 lives on Laurel street and is married, while Mccarthy lives on Fourth street and is unmarried. So far as the location of the streets was con- cerned both showed surprising lack of information, but in every other respect they were up to the mark. Their applications were filed.
