Gricq as a SchooIboy.

Grieg was not a pattern schoolboy In description of his days at school he wrote: Knowing that by arriving late 1 would not be allowed to enter the class until the end of the first lesson, 1 used, on wet mornings, to stand under dripping roof, until 1 was soaked to the skin. The master then sent me home to change my clothes, but the distance being long this was equivalent to giving me dispensa- tion! You may guess that l played this prank pretty often, but when at last carried it so far as to come one day wet through, though it had hardly rained at all, they became suspicious, and kept a lookout. One fine day l was caught, and made an intimate ac. quaintance with the birch!'

Liuuor She FIoated In.

On their arrival in New Zealand, according to London Tit-Bits, party of English people drank the health of the vessel which had brought them safely to their destination. One of the gentlemen who was asked to join in this ceremony replied: No, am a teetotaller; but I'll willingly drink sue. cess to the ship in the liquor she floats in." A friend disappeared and returned with a glass of water. After a complimentary apostrophe to the ship, the recipient tossed the water off at once, but immediately splut- tered: "Ugh-ah-oh-this is-oh- what on earth is this?" 'That?" said his friend. Why, you've drunk success to our noble ship in the identical liquor she floats in."

BEST EVER WRITTEN
PRESCRIPTION WHICH ANYONE
 CAN EASILY MIX.
Said to Promptly Overcome Kidney and Bladder AffIictions--Shake Simple Ingredients We'll

Mix the following by shaking well doses after meals and at bedtime: .
 Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. A prominent physician is the authority that these simple, harmless ingredients can be obtained at nom- inal cost from any druggist even in the smaller towns.
 The mixture is said to cleanse and strengthen the clogged and inactive Kidneys, overcoming Backache, Blad- der weakness and Urinary trouble of Brights disease.

Terms That Seem Strange.

There are many puzzling differences between Scottish and English law terms. For instance, bankruptcy is in Scotland "an act of sequestration," a solicitor is either a writer" or a Flaw agent" the argument in a case is the debate" and assizes is the jury, wrongdoer is delinquent" an idiot-in Scottish law-is "a fatuous person." and a burglary is (with true Scottish caution), "housebreaking with an aggravation." Finally, an au. thor is, in Scotland, not person who writes, but the vender or seller of re; property, from whom the title to is derived.

MutiIate Art Treasures.

Authorities who have in charge some of England's ancient treasures try to discourage the habit of carving initials on these relics.

Bacon curers are usually among the most prosperous firms in Belfast, but they have had to warn the farmers throughout the north not to kill any more pigs until the strikes are settled, for it is impossible to handle the car casses.

lucky so far and the long winter will
be materially lessened by the late

most conducive to perfect health.

Great Northwest seems to be Gods
chosen country. Despite the partial
failure Of our crops this year, yet
it is a good country to live in, and we
ought to be truly thankful on Nov. %,
and do justice to the American turkey,
which is the bird truly symbolical of
Thanksgiving The American eagle

What is sometimes referred to as
the Chicago brain trust" the group
of western writer's including Finley
Peter Dunno, George AIDE and the two
McCutcheons-John T. and George
Barr-is nothing if not original in it's
methods. It's members have hit upon
the novel scheme of providing enter
tainment for the public and them
selves as well as adding to their bank
accounts by writing about one an
other. In the November number of
Appleton's Magazine John T. Nc
Cutcheon has an article about George
AIDE illustrated in the inimitable Nc
Cutcheon way. In December AIDE Is
to come back with an article about

THE PRESS HAS A SPACE FILLER

THE PRESS HAS A SPACE FILLER.
The scare article which appeared
in the Grand Forks Press a few even
ing's ago to the effect that Devils Lake
was in the midst of a smallpox cpl
demic, that nineteen cases had so far
been reported about the city, that two
rooms of the school building had been
shut down on account of it, etc., was
entirely erroneous. Superintendent
Godward reports that every possible
precaution has been taken to prevent
the spread of the disease, as stated
elsewhere in this paper, only three
cases in the city have been reported,
and the little sufferers in these fami-
lies are doing nicely. The school
rooms are kept constantly fumigated,
all the pupils have been examined in
dividually by the board of health and
every preventative known to medical
science has been employed to prevent
such a thing as the Hearst Copyist
says we are now experiencing.
