may he said of theft on the grading OF
grain on this side of the line, we are
not in it for moment with the fellows
on the other side. To be more explicit,
when our No. wheat is quoted on the
American side of the line at 80 cents
per bushel, the same wheat on the Cana.
dian side will bring but so to 81 cents,
making quotation on same grade from
four to six cents less over there, and
for the same wheat that on this side is
graded as No. l, the hest the farmer or
the Canadian side can get is No. 8,
which, taken with the lesser market
quotation, brings the same grain down
to Is to 20 cents per bushel less thar
the American farmer receives. Couple
this with the greater cost of almost
every necessary of life, and The Tri.

The following correspondence re-
ceived on Monday from Hon. A. ].
,Gronna, explains itself and shows plain
ly to the people along the Berthold-
Crosby branch of the Great Northern
road that Mr.. Gronna is doing his ut
most to secure mail service over the
branch, which, from the letter of the
Acting Second Assistant Postmaster
General, seems now to be only ques-
ton of short time. Mr.. Gronna writes:
: Lakota, N. D., Sept. Is, 1903.
Mr.. c. r. Hurry, Ignite, N. D.
A letter received from the Acting Sec
gard to the establishment of mail SER
vice on the Berthold- Crosby branch of
the Great Northern.
i have been advised that there is 4
disposition on the part of the people
along this branch to blame the Con-
gressmen from this state for the nom
Establishment of this service. This,
however, is a matter of contract be-
tween the Department and the railway
company, and the Congressional delega-
;tion has no means by which it can COM
pei either party to accede to the terms
pf the other. The Department made
the railway company an offer early in
February, which they considered very
liberal in view of the fact that this
branch so closely parallels the 500 road.
The company. however. refused to ac-
eept this offer. l took the matter up
with both the department and the rail-
way company, but neither would recede
from it's position. The department has
now. as you will see from the inclosed
copy, made another offer, which it is to
be hoped the company will accept.
Il Please give this matter such publicity
as you think necessary to correct any
wrong impressions that may exist
among your readers in regard to it.
s:as Very truly yours,
A. j. GRONNA.

Puritans Had Fine Shoes.

The early settlers came over to
trade and to prosper as well as to
seek religious and political liberty.
History commonly deals with the
compact signed in the cabin of the
Mayfower, the sufferings of the first
settlers, and their struggles against
the savages, both man and beast. But
1t Is certain that the forefathers, and
their wives and daughters, brought
over many articles of fine and stylish
apparel, and it may be that several
pairs of fine and stylish boots and
shoes were in the trunks of these
stern persons who landed in Plymouth
in 1920.
The early ~forefathers certainly laid
the foundation of modern trade.
They certainly brought over love of
fine dress. They established in this
country the foundations of trade, and
the belief that it is a persons duty to
dress himself as finely as he possibly
can. From these early foundations,
Americans have built up a trade, and
an appreciation of dress that is sec
ond to lone in the world. 1t is be-
cause the great majority of Americans
of the present day admire their
stylish and well appearing garments
that retail trade fiourishes.-NeW

Artificial Honey.

Bee keepers in southern Italy are
becoming seriously alarmed at the
perfection which has been attained in
the manufacture of artificial honey.
The West India Committees Circular,
referring to the matter, says that the
process of it's manufacture is a very
simple one and involves the use of
the best quality of refined sugar and
its melting and boiling with the adj
dition to it of tartaric acid to the
extent of about one-tenth of one per
cent. of the weight of the sugar. 1t
must be boiled in an enameled vase,
under pressure for forty-five minutes.
The liquid will then have assumed a
golden color and on cooling will have
the consistency of ordinary honey. If
a little true honey is mixed with it the
mass will assume the flavor to such
an extent as to be indistinguishable
from the genuine article.
Bee keepers are ~endeayoring to OBJ
tain legislation which shall enact that
some substance shall be added to arti-
fetal honey so that it may be distin-
guishable at a glance from the gen.
uine article. On the other hand, it is
claimed that the artificial honey may
be very useful to bee keepers be-
cause by mixing it with inferior, or
unstable honey, a marketable article
may be produced.

MOTHER KILLS CHILDREN.
Three Little Ones Dead and Woman
Dying at Buffalo.

Buffalo, N. Y.-Mrs. Isabella Sah-
len gave her three small children
paris green and then strangled each
with a handkerchief to make her
work sure. Then she sent to a grocery
store for more paris green, which she
took herself. The three children
discovered and Mrs, Sahlen was in a
dying condition.
In a statement which Mrs. Sahlen
made to the police and the medical
examiner the woman blamed her sis
ter-in-law, whom she said had caused
her much domestic unbappiness. AT
noon when Sahlen was home for his
midday meal his wife complained to-
him of more words with her sister-in-
law, who lives next door. Sahlen
says his wife added as he went out of
the door: eff this keeps up this af-
ternoon there will something happen
here before night.
Sahlen took his wife's remark
lightly, and went to work. He is a
teamster and drives for his father.
He did not learn of his vife's deed
until night, when he was unhitching
his horses and his father told him of
the death of his children.
Just after 4 O'Clock Mrs. Sahlen
ran out into her d%ooryard and
screamed to her next door neighbor.
Mrs. Brown, that she had poisoned
her three children and herself. Mrs.
Brown rushed into the Sahlen yard
as Mrs. Sahlen turned back into the
house and met Mrs. Brown with a
bread knife as the neighbor burst
through the door: The frantic moth
er made a thrust at Mrs. Brown. who
retreated and called help. Physi-
clans and the police found the three
children dead and Mrs. Sahlen under
the first effects of the poison.

Red Blood and Blue.

Three-year-old Allan had a very
~aristocratic grandma, who prided her
self on her own and her husbands
blue-blooded ancestry. She told him
heroic deeds of them and warned
him from ever playing with boys of
low degree.
One day Allan came screaming up
stairs to his mamma and grandma,
holding his hand Up covered with
blood, where he had cut his little
finger. They were both greatly
alarmed, as he was a child who rare
ly cried or complained when hurt.
Mamma washed the blood off and,
examining the cut, said:
why, dear, it's not so very bad.
Does it hurt you so much?"
"Im not cryin' cause it hurts" he
said, "but cause it's only red blood

How to Know a Mad Dog.

Hydrophobia is in reality so rare
and SO terrifying that it's symptoms
and treatment are little understood.
AS a matter of fact, the commonly
accepted expression of madness in a
dog is often misleading. The real
mad dog does not shun water, as ii
is said. On the contrary, mad dogs
often rush to the water and drink
eagerly, if they are able to swallow.
The mad dog does not foam at the
mouth. 1t does not run amuck, snap
ping at everything in its path.
What, then, are the indications Of
the mad dog? To those familiar with
a given dog the surest symptoms,
and the one which should excite the
closest attention is a distinct and I'M
accountable change in the dogs dis
position-a staid dog becoming ex-
citable and a frisky one dull. That
condition does not necessarily mean
rabies, but it Is suspicious, and If, in
addition, the dog has trouble in swal-
lowing-as though it seemed to have
a bone in its throat-bewarei That
dog should be instantly tied up, be-
If it be rabies it takes but a day
or two for ferocious instincts to de-
velop.
The unmistakable evidence, how
ever, of a dog with rabies is the
sticky, whitish saliva which covers
the teeth and shows on the drawn
lips. The eyes glare and are red:
the dog has paroxysms of running
fury, during which it barks hoarsely.

Sand.

Sand Is used at the seashore az
material for lovers to sit on and by
wholesale grocers. 1t is also useful in
proposing and driving away creditors.
Sand is present in almost every To-
salty. 1t can be heard on the vaude-
Vile stage during the clog dance,
can be tasted in strawberries and can
boz seen in choice New England farms,
shortly after they have been pur-
chased.
Sand is composed of a large nuN-
Der of individuals. When the wave
m up and washes these individ-
uals about maybe they protest (who
knows?-human beings do), but the
wave doesn't care. The wave would
be glad of it, if it knew.
Sand is often used as a foundation
for houses. The people who build
the houses on sand do it because they
like to save up for a rainy day.
Sand Is also used for scenery in
deserts. Indeed, without sand, no
desert would have any scenery at all.
Sand sometimes makes storms.
When there is a sand storm, it is
hard on the eyes. But this is good
for oculists, thus proving that ali
things have a use.-From Life.
