Thresher Jumped on Fork and Dies
/. Several Days Later.
"A young Swede, whose name no one
seems to know, who was employed in
Dick Gyms threshing crew, near
Neche. jumped of a rack and is now
dead and buried as result of that
jump. He struck the handle of a
pitchfork when he alighted and the
tines flew up and struck him so that
they entered the intestines. He came
in to DR.. Donovan at Neche, who could
not determine that the intestines were
perforated. but advised going to Win.
nipeg to the hospital. The unfortu-
nate man acted on this advice. He
died at the hospital, presumably from
blood poisoning due to his injuries.
He was buried at Winnipeg. His par.
ents live in Sweden.

The great Wagner tenor at the Roy

been engaged for the coming three
seasons at the Metropolitan opera
house in New York a a salary of 65,.
900 kroner ($17,550) yearly. He has
on several occasions sung chief parts

of the worlds best interpreters of her
husbands music.
The teachers of Denmark are de-
handing important legislative reforms
that will raise the standard of their
profession, and tend to separate secu-
lar from religious instruction. They
demand that new teachers must have
higher scholastic attainments than in
the past, and that inspection of
schools by representatives of the
church be discontinued and replaced
by inspection of school men. Mr.. So
rensen, the minister of culture, has
been so impressed by the united &C.
ton of the teachers that he has
agreed to recommend to the rigsdag
the enactment of law carrying out
the first demand of the pedagogues.
and will ask for the appointment Of
commission to consider the second
demand.
About year ago 1 mentioned the
fact that a society was organized in
Denmark to preserve from destruc-
ton old buildings of historical inter.
est. The society started out with good
membership, and has been doing act
i've work, as may be gathered from
its first annual report recently pub
lished. 1t has prevented the destruc-
ticn Of the ancient Lindegaard in Kali
lenborg, one of the members of the
society, Mr.. Bestle, buying it. 1t has
also succeeded in preventing the tear
ing down Of the old Vindings house
in Copenhagen. Another famous old
house saved by the society is the
"Weis Stenestue" at Ribe, the city In
which Jacob A. Riis was born. Sew
eral other interesting landmarks have
been preserved by the society.

Nix Ruzicka, was arrested on charge
Of selling intoxicating liquors, but

Rate. 81
Tie attention Of the interstate com.
merce commission will probably be
called to what appears to be an exor.
lbitant freight rate between st. Paul
and Minot. A shipment Of stationery
weighing thirty pounds costs }1.10 by
freight, which is pretty close to the
mail rate. A protest was fled and on
Investigation It was found that the
railroads had by resolution fixed the
rate at $1.10 for 100 pounds or less.
The rate is framed with the evident in
tentton of driving the small packages
to the express companies, to the great
profit Of the express companies and
loss to the people.
There is another feature to the case.
The local rate from st. Paul to Grand
Forks Is 81 cents per hundred pounds
or less, and the local rate to Minot
from Grand Forks is 81 cents per hun
dred, with minimum charge of rs
cents. From this it will be seen that
small package can be shipped to
Grand Forks and re-shipped to Minot
for less than it would take to send It
direct to Minot.
The 500 has not yet taken any sat
isfactory action on the protest against
the alleged injustice, and it is not at
all unlikely hat the case. will be
brought to the attention of the inter.

A Coed Reputation Helps Others.
(Selected.)

occasionally l hear some one say,
with pious air 1t doesn't matter
what people think of me, l know my
heart is right All, my friend, but
it does matter.
Let me give you an illustration:
In sight Of my office window is a
church tower; on each of the three
sides there is clock face On one
of these one of the hands has been
broken, making the clock tell strange
tales. Of course there are people
who do not understand the circum-
stances, and are, therefore, misled.
At heart the old clock is all right;
but that doesn't alter the seriousness
of the fact that people have been
late in meeting their engagements,
and have missed their trains, be-
cause the face is not an index to that
which it covers"

Inventor and Artj-t.

At his boyhood it was hard to say
whether the young Fulton was more
the inventor Or the artist, but es soon
as the war ended he decided that he
should become a painter, and went
to Philadelphia, then the chief city
OF Ghe new nation, to study his art.
He made enough money by the use
Of his pencil and by making draw
frTs for naachinfsts, to support him
self, and also saved enough money to
bug small farm for his widowed
mother and younger brothers and
sisters.
Benjamin West, the great painter,
had lived near Lancaster, and had
heard much of F-ulton's boyhood in
ve1ttons, and he now hunted him out
in Philadelphia, and helped him in
his new line of work. The young
artist met Benjamin Franklin and
found him eager to further his plans
anG SO. by dint of perseverance
and the friends he was fortunate
enough te make, he laid the founda-
tons for his future
When he became a man the spirit
of the inventor finally overcame that
OF the painter. He weat abroad and
studied in laboratories in England
and France, and then he came homa
and built a workshop of his own.
What particularly interested him
Was the uses TO which steam might
be applied, and he studied it's posi-
biHties until he had worked out his
plans for a practical steamboat. How
successful those plans were all the
world knows

Forest Fires.
youth Companion.)

Carelessness causes most OF the
disastrous forest fires which yearly
destroy miles of valuable timber
lands, and frequently whole villages
and towns. A writer in the Milwau-
kee Sentinel recounts some interest
ing facts about them. One expen-
sive confagration was started by a
match which a man threw into dry
grass after lighting his pipe.
Before that fire had burned itself
out it had traversed a strip of terri
tory sixty miles long and five or six
miles wide. We lost hundreds of
thousands of ties by the fire, to say
nothing of the timber that was burn
ed overall because a man was not
careful where he threw lighted
match. When such fires once get
started they burn themselves out;
you can't stop them.
They play some queer freaks. l
have seen great pine-tress standing
out alone in little clearing one hun
dred yards or more from anything,
and suddenly the fire would jump
out and few minutes later nothing
would be left of the trees but the
trunk and SCARED and burned limbs.
| remember one case of the kind
where handsome big pine stood out
alone. Suddenly the flames seemed
to gather themselves into a big ball
and burst over the top of the tree
like shell, enveloping it in fire. 1t
burned as though it had been kiln
dried.
In the old days the Indians were
very careful of fire. When they
broke camp in the morning, after
going a shot distance, one of the
band would go back to see that there
was no spark unextinguished. If
there was he would be sure to put it
out. If he did not return to the
waiting band soon, two or three 9TH
ers would go back, and if there was
any fire they would help him extin-
guish it.
In that way forest fires were pre-
vented. Nowadays, with white cam
pers and picnickers going into the
woods and leaving without care
whether they leave sparks which
may cause a blaze or not, it is hard
to preserve the forests. | presume
it was something of that kind which
started the fires up in British Column
bia. The country is densely timber
ed, and any fire there means the loss
of hundreds of thousands of dollars
in standing timber, to say nothing
of lives placed in danger.
