SUSPICIOUS CHARACTERS
ARRESTED THIS MORNING
Two Men Taken from Great Northern Box Car...Both
We're Well Armed with Chisels, Knives and
Other Ugly Weapons.

The police this morning arrested
two suspicious characters on advice
from the authorities at Langdon, N.
D., and they were given ten days in
jail this morning by the presiding
magistrate.
The men were gathered in about
7 o'clock as they made their way
from Great Northern freight car of
an early morning freight train. When
accosted they made flight and we're
only gathered in after an exciting

chase in which many shots we're
exchanged on both sides.
When examined at the police
headquarters. no money was found
on the men, but in their possession
was discovered miscellaneous COL
lection of knives, chisels, etc.
1t is believed that they are men,
bers of the gang of "yeggmen," who
have been terrorizing the north
west for the past few months, and
their records will be investigated
before they are released.

Did you ever meet the man that
knows it all? Have you ever had to
sit and listen to the hot air bleater
who from a babe was raised on the
bottle of "I'm it."
Ifyou ever have, you remember
well the desire that came over you
to push him with your foot or other
wise rude to him. Then perhaps he
blundered and in his supreme self
conceit fell into a trap while the
crowd around visibly enjoyed the
joke.
Dave Gally, an unassuming young
fellow, although a clever actor, hadjust
such an experience this summer and
in this instance the knowing one will
probably think twice before he talks
again on foreign countries and cities.
1t happened in the Cadillac hotel
on Broadway New York. Gally and
his friends were in the lobby having
a pleasant chat over the past summer
vacations. The wise one butted in
and in loud tone gave every one
to understand that he had Just re-
turned from a three months trip
over the European continent. He
monopolized the whole conversation.
1t appeared that ha had been every
where, knew everybody and in short
was the best travelled man in Amer
lea. Gally said little, but when the
traveller dilated on Germany, the
beauties of the Rhine, and the old
rathskellers he quietly inquired.
How did you like Kahnsbuag?'
Not bit feazed, the Wisenheimer
replied.
Great my boy. Finest little
town I ever struck. More pretty
girls there to the inch than flies in
the kitchen here"
That's good," said the actor,
and do you know you remind me
very much of the Hamburg girls .
Indeed" SMILED the traveller
very much tickled. Then he got
the lemon.
Yes" said the actor as he turned
and walked away You both lived
in imagration.''
Later Mr.. .Wiseheimer discovered
that David Gally is the star Of 1--WE
Are King" the romantic comedy
which has its scenes laid in the
imaginary principality of Hamburg,
name which is but a product Of
the brain of the author, and has nc
real existance.

return with a perfect score based upon
these reckonings, but some do. and Teddy
Dey, the clever driver of the Pierce Path
finder on the route of the 1907 tour of the
A.. A. A., might we'll lay claim to a per-
feet run. He secured one on the final tour
as well, for Dey killed not one animal on
the double trip over the route Of the tour.
The instructions of the George N. Pierce
Company to their drivers are to go care
fully at all times, and it is seldom that
a Great Arrow causes any havoc among
the live stock of the country, for the rea-
son that the drivers are careful, operating
their cars invariably with In idea to the
safety OF the animals, four legged and
two legged as well.
The proposal that in the annual tour OF
the American Automobile Association
teams be organized to represent each club
and each team of three or more TO repre-
sent a maker, has met with hearty re-
Spouse. Prominent officials Of the Ameri-
can Automobile Association, who have been
approached regarding the matter, have
commended the proposition very heartily,
n It is not improbable that the event of
1908 will be competed in by several teams
from each of the prominent clubs and by
at least one team from each club in the
American Automobile Association.
The tour of 1907 was made compare
lively interesting by the fact tnat a great
many of the prominent teams were com
posed Of several makers Of cars. Now the
proposal TO represent each club by teams
of three or more cars, and each represent
ing a maker, would be possible, for the
George N. Pierce Company, makers of two
cars In the winning Buffalo team, could
put in the field a team representing the
Buffalo club and another team to represent
the Pittsburg club, Independent of several
others.
In event of this rule going through. it
Is quite probable that the entry list would
be double, or even treble. Vice-President
l.. r. Speers and Secretary Lewis have
both commended the idea, and 1t is not
improbable that Chairman Hover viii
take a prominent position in bringing
about such a change In the rules. The
chairman believes hat the annual tour has
come to be a trade tour. pure and simple,
and he believes that every maker should
be given an opportunity to secure as great
publicity as possible from the events.

MOTOR PUFFS

Chairman Frank B. Hover. the able
guide of the annual tours Of the American
Automobile Association, spent quite a time
at the New York and Chicago shows, feel
ing out the trade, and the chairman is now
satisfied that the tour of 1908 will be an
wen greater affair than the tour of last
year. The chairman made one very signi-
hcant remark while in New York, after
having visited the Chicago show, where he
placed his order for a 1905 Pierce small six
chassis. ST am convinced" said the chair
man. that the annual tour is mainly in
teresting to the manufacturers and that
the amateur interest in the tour in COM
parison is as nothing to one hundred" The
chairman has evidently come to the deci-
sion that more strenuous rules must be en-
forced in the annual pilgrimage. and that
for another year he will have to give the
maker more Of an opportunity to enter
into hearty and healthy competition. What
his ideas are in this matter may be he
would moi say, but some rules more strict
thar last year may be expected. The
opportunity for a much greater entry list
has been prominently before the chairman,
providing the rules are changed, and thu
chances are that the 1908 tour will see
observers on each car with a correct record
of the trip at the close on which to base
the decision as regards the trophy.
Someone has compiled a schedule Of
penalties for a tour OF the country and
has even added to the schedule as adopted
In the Chicago endurance run. This sched-
ule calls for the loss of a point for every
chicken killed, for one and one-half points
for every rooster killed (hardly a fair
schedule for male persuasion), n two
points for every dog. 1t is also provided
that one-half point shall be lost when a
duck or a goose is killed and four points
for each cat. Snakes and turtles are to
cost the loss of no points at all, while rats
cost five points, and skunks none at all,
although really. in the latter instance,
the driver should be credited with a gain
of at least ten points or more. The above
mentioned schedule has caused a lot OF
smiles. and might be put up to Chairman
Hover for acceptance or rejection. In the
rules OF the 1908 tour Of the American
Automobile Association. Few 80 out and

.grhe Maid Of Honor,

1.-THE Maid Of Honor" BY Richard S.
Holmes. Fleming II. Revell Company,
New York.
A narrative Of more than usual interest,
told in the first person. The maid of
honor and the ''best man. who is the
narrator. are attendants at a wedding OF
mutual friends, and fall in love imme-
dIately upon meeting. Manlike. he re-
solves to win her, and womanlike, she
makes up her mind never to let him.
Through three long years they play the
game. she snubbing him numerically
whenever they chance to meet. But a
pair of runaway horses and a daring
rescue OF a child by a boy in whom
both are Interested unlock both of their
stupid tongues, and they tell each other
what might nave been told in the second
chapter. If they had not been clean
daft to quote David Henderson. the
lovabIe. positive old Scotchman, who oc-
cupies a place in the lives of all the char
acters. and whose quaint. shrewd sayings
and kindly deeds add SO much zest to the
books reading.
David is a Presbyterian elder, and his
hobby is 'releegion.' and. above all
things, he loves a discussion. His views,
original in themselves. are aired with
such whimsical turns and twists that YOU
find yourself laughing. and then stopping
suddenly to think over what he said. An
ardent trout fisherman, he starts
on an expedition without pouring on the
ground a libation of whiskey. to Isaac
Walton. and TO propitiate good luck. He
thinks he catches fish easily because he
is a good Presbyterian, and lays another
mans ill-luck to the fact that he has
never professed his faith. David is a
man after your own heart, true as steel
underneath. but %delighting in small decep-
lions aud underhand methods of gaining
his ends-always good ends. by the way.
The story Of a minister's struggle to do
right. and of the great Presbyterian re-
vival. which follows his efforts, is in
teresting, and furnishes food for reflection.
The arguments are sound and one feels
sure they are sincere.

Gus views are discussed in a fair and
square way, though thsre is q heaning to-
