The True Mechanic.

After a man has worked In Shops
for ten or fifteen years there Is q great
desire for change. Some want to go
out on farm, others think that the
invention of something that can ! be
patented will solve the problem, While
others want to own and run shop
themselves. The latter Is really the
true mechanic, but not necessarily the
man who will get out the most or even
the best work while working for
boss, says Charles Henry In the Work
ers' Magazine. On the contrary, he
will often be considered the lazy man
by the foreman when the work Is or
an ever recurring character. Let. how
ever, some difficulty arise in connec-
ton with a job or have some hard
proposition to meet and he will always
have a suggestion to offer that Will
help to solve the problem, while the
ordinary man and the hustler will
stand around helpless and often dis
interested. He will have the elemen-
tary laws Of mechanics and physics at
his finger tips, will know enough OF
electricity to allow him to discourse
upon the subject In an intelligent man
ner, and he will be we'll posted upon
the mechanical progress Of the day.

Burned Ii Into Memory,

One of the most Enthusiastically
eccentric things ever done by Gelett
Burgess (and one of the few true sto-
ries of HIM was to spend three or four
days In constructing of cardboard,
mica and green velvet little model
Of an old New England house, COM
plete as to windows, curtains, lawn
garden, trees and even including u
hammock with tiny hat and summer
novel and washing stretched out on
clothesline on the back stoop This
was for dinner given to several lit
erary friends in New York, and when
the coffee was served he deliberately
set fire to the whole farm. His ex-
PLANTATION was that had it been spared
his guests might have forgotten the
affair, but they would always remem-
Der the destruction of the house. No
one who ever saw the little house go
up In smoke on its little hill of damp
moss will ever forget it.

A Dressmaker of Yarmouth.

In the churchyard Of Caster, close
to Yarmouth, is the grave Of the
"quiet, little, gentle voiced dress
maker" Of whom at her death in DC.

witch said, 81 would canonize Sarah
Martin If could" Yarmouth reveres
her to this day. A stained glass win
dow has been placed to her memory
in the parish church, where her prayer
book is still preserved, while her jour
nal is one Of the treasures Of the pub
lie library in the dollhouse Under.
meath this building was the miserable
dungeon which served as the borough
prison, and 1t was to the amelioration
Of the lot Of the wretched prisoners
that Sarah Martin devoted her life.
Earning a bare subsistence Of fifteen
pence day by toiling from early
morning till far on into the night, she
yet managed to give up one day in the
week to her labor Of love. She died in
poverty, but the result of her lifes
work was the reform Of the prison
system Of Standardization Chron-
icle.

Women and "Sport."

When big shoot takes place in the
coverts near one Of our country houses
the occasion is made a sort Of society
gathering. The ladies Of. the house
party grace it with their presence, and
other ladies Of the neighborhood are
glad to be allowed the honor of such
company, Thus a large and fashion
able party assemblies, and while each
beat is in progress the girls and wom-
en- try to look On unmoved while
wounded hare kicks and squeals upon
the ground for minutes which seem in
terminable to the sensitive onlooker
until the beat Is over and the dogs are
loosed to finish off the cripples And,
though the hare's piteous shrieking
makes its case seem the worst, the
mere tumbling over and over Of
wounded bird is a shocking sight to
see as the time passes and no one goes
forward to release it Of It's life.-Lon-

Ooduinu Thirteen.

"When lived in New York" writes
former New Yorker from Berlin,
there was house near Central park
which should have borne the number
13, but because Of the superstition Of
the occupant permission was secured
TO place the number liza or 15a over
the door I spoke Of the circumstance
d few days ago and learned that the
thirteen superstition was more clearly
marked here. In the instance men
toned by me an individual was con-
cerned. Here it was the most impor-
tant corporation in Wiesbaden. There

adjourned until the following Monday.
The case occupied the attention of
the court all of Monday afternoon the
jury returning verdict at nine o'clock
in the evening; after being out for
about four hours, in which they found
for the plaintiff, awarding him the sum
of $579.20 and interest at seven per
cent from Nov 1, 1905.
First National Bank of Leeds VS.. S. S.
Moen and J. A. Erickson.
This case was then taken up 1t
seems that the bank loaned the defend
ants sum of money to make up a
deficiency in the Minot bank. For this
they were suing. The plaintiffs at
torneys moved the court that he in
struct the jury to return a verdict
finding for the bank, which they did
the amount given being $500 and in
terest at ten per cent per annum since
Sept. Is, 1905.
Hocknson VS.. Ulmer.
Andrew Hockinson sued S. H. iUlmer,
who threshed wheat for him last sum-
mer at plaintiffs farm near Crazy for
something like 500. Ulmer put in
a counter claim and said that S. H.
owed him instead the sum of $2424
The case went to the jury at about
three O'Clock Tuesday afternoon, they
returning with verdict in favor of
the plaintiff awarding him damages
to the amount of $S673 with 7 per
cent interest since Nov. 1, 1907.
-, Powers VS.. Roy Lee.
j., After the Hockinson case had gone
to the jury the states attorney filed
information against Roy Lee and John
Armstead of Brockett, who were
charged with the crime of manning
the person of William Powers on the
third day of January. Both the defense
and prosecution moved immediate trial
which was given. The defense then
moved that their clients be given sep
arate trials. This was granted, and
the trial of Lee proceeded. The regu-
lar panel of jurors was exhausted be-
fore the jury was made up and three
men had to be picked from the audi
ence by the sheriff. One of the jurors
in the box created quite little merri-
ment by falling asleep during the ex-
animation OF the jury, he having to be
awakened to take the oath to try the
case according to the law and evil
dence.
The case went to the jury at five
O'Clock Wednesday afternoon: after a
heated legal conflict between the op-
posing council, At eight o'clock a
verdict of assault and battery was re-
turned. Sentence will be given later.
Cochran VS.. National Elevator Ass IN.
This case was taken up at the open
ing of court Thursday morning and
continued throughout the day. The
case arises out of the refusal of the
defendant Ftp pay for quantity of
wheat; whfch%the plaintiff, Robt. Cock
ran alleges he sold to the defendants
elevator at Grand Harbor but at the
time did not take his elevator tickets,
relying presumably on the books of the
company, When he came to sell his
grain the man WHO ho}Q Vas I'M charge at
the time the grain was delivered to the
elevator was, no longer in charge and
the new manager refused payne mt.
