Mrs. Framcly the younger shrank
from an explanation and, with the
statement that things only needed to
be warmed up, thrust the matter aside.
When her husband came in from
church with the children she slipped
out to put things on the table. When
the family came into the dining room
she supposed, Of course, that her hus-
band had explained and SO made no
comment when the old lady set aside
her thick vegetable soup with the COM
ment that she never did like those new
tangled soups.
But when the turkey was brought in
and set upon the table the old lady
frightened up.

KUROPATKIN ATTACKS RUSSIAN
OFFICERS

KUROPATKIN ATTACKS RUSSIAN
OFFICERS
General Kuropatkin, in writing in the
Christmas McClure's of the cause of
Russia's defeat by Japan attacks the
officers of the Russian army. saying:
1T may be stated, without much dan
ger of error, that the chief character of
our highest commanding element, espec-
tally during the early period of the cam
paign, was the absence of initiative,
ignorance of how to lead a battle of
attack, and the lack of %peristency. The
result of this was always revealed by a
lack of harmony in the action of large
units, Indifference tt the situation of a
neighbor, and premature admission that
the battle was lost.
Even those officers who possessed the
best qualities always found it more adj
v%antageous if a %neighbor began the at
tack. while they themselves merely sup
ported him. If any one was hard pressed
and he retreated, his neighbors-instead
of helping him to retrieve the situation,
marched off. Almost no one displayed
a bold impulse toward the 'front.'

Cattle Dlsease

d.. l. Van Es Of the agricultural COL
lese declares that there IL nothing to
be apprehended from the epidemic of
foot and mouth disease" which is
passing through the eastern states and
which has caused the states of Pennsyl-
vania. New York and Michigan to pass
rigid quarantine laws against the cattle
from other states.
d.. Van Els says:
so far there have been no cases of
the disease in North Dakota as far as
we know. and I do not think there is
any likelihood of the malady being
brought to the state as U quarantine
laws will provide for that. We have
taken care of similar cases in the past,
which of course cost a lot of money but
which was very effective"
1t seems from the statements of veter-
inarians that the disease belongs to the
east and is something that North Dakota
has never had. Canada has a rigid in
spection system for horses and cattle.
but there never has been an instance
where any North Dakota cattle were re-
jected on account of having such a dis
ease as is causing the scare in the east.
Many are rejected on account of tuber-
culosis. Cattle from other states will be
thoroughly inspected. Just at this season
of the year there are practically no ship
ments of cattle in the west, and it will
be an easy matter to take the necessary
precautions.
1t is announced that Minnesota cattle
will be closely scrutinized in the next
few days for evidence of the foot and
mouth disease" Dr.. S. H. Wood, of
the Minnesota livestock sanitary board,
says that no evidence of the disease, has
been found in Minnesota yet. He and
his inspectors will redouble their vigil
ance in guarding against It. The fed
eral inspectors at South St. Paul are
carefully inspecting each carload Of
cattle arriving.

First Dining Car.

Just forty years ago." said T. G.
Newton, a Chicago railroad man,
''the Chicago & Alton Railroad put
on the first dining car ever operated
on any railway train in the world.
This was on the run between Chica-
&C and st. Louis. If that car could
be exhibited now it would create uni
VersaI merriment. 1t had oilcloth
table covers, the seats were screwed
10 the floor, and its Illumination de-
pended on candles. Think Of the
contrast between that primitive af-
lair Of 1868 and the modern dining
car finished in solid mahogany, with
e ~geous furniture, and a menu as
elaborate and cooking as dainty as
that supplied by any OF the foremost

CLOCK AND WATCH FREAKS.
Not Necessarily Dirty When They
Require Cleaning.

"A watch isn't necessarily dirty
when 1t requires cleaning" says a
matchmaker. 1T may need clean
ing when it hasn't even been worn.
"a common cause of this is that
the oil in the works has dried up
and become sticky, causing the watch
to go slow, or even to stop. In this
case it not only wants cleaning, but
also the addition of fresh OIL
THE best oil for this purpose is
obtained from the jawbone of the
porpoise, and kindred fish Many
watchmakeTs mix their own oil from
various kinds.
Clocks also stop for no apparent
reason. During q thunderstorm,
for instance a clock may stop, only
resuming work when minutes, days,
or even weeks have passed.
'Thunderstorms again, have been
responsible for the restaTting Of old
clocks which apparently had retired
altogether from active service. -

IL the Sun Were Blue.

If the sun were blue there would
be only two colors in the world. blue
and black; or If 1t were red every
thing would be red or black. In
the latter case, there would be red
snow, red lilies, black grass, a black
clear sky and red clouds. There
would be a little variety, however, if
the sun were green. Things that are
now yellow would still remain that
color, but there would be no reds,
