A st. Paul man tells of a German
proprietor of a sawmill in a Minnesota
town who was accustomed to use Tor
fuel the refuse from the lumber The
fuel cost nothing, but it took four men
to provide it. because the machinery
was old-fashioned.
One day an agent for mill machinery
persuaded the owner to install a new
equipment that would reduce the
amount of the fuel one-half. The pro-
position looked like a good one and the
agent, confident of success, called on
the German after the installation az
the machinery, fully expecting to be
congratulated. But the Teuton gave
him a gloomy stare.
Whats the trouble?" asked the
agent "The machinery does all l claim
ed for it?"

IT,
One day the trees had been cut, and
the logs 'sllidded," or drawn together
in a pile on the brink of a steep
bank, where they could be easily loaded
on sled Suddenly the blocking that
held the pile in place gave way and
the logs began to roll down the bank
whereupon the farmer shouted to the
youth, who was standing at the mo-
ment directly in their path, to run for
his life. Instead of doing so, however
he merely dropped into little hollow
came tumbling down over him.
OF course. the farmer supposed that
his help" had instantly been killed
With the assistance of some other men
he managed to roll the logs off his
youthful assistant; and, to his intense
surprise, it was found that the lad was
unframed. '1sR
why didn't you run as l told you
you idiot" demanded the farmer.
DO you suppose I'm goin' to run
for $40 month";" was the indignant
response.

Prosecution Moves Dismissal for Some
Unknown Reason.
The case of the state against o. o.
Adams, which has been on trial in
the district court at Minot, came to
an abrupt and wholly unexpected ter.
mination, when after the evidence
Of the state had been concluded, the
state resting, the defense without in.
PRODUCING a word of evidence also
resting, the states attorney from
Ward county, after consideration,
moved a dismissal of the action. The
grounds fer dismissing the case were
not stated, but it is presumed to be
due to the fact that a vital piece of
evidence had been thoughtlessly left
out-that while the matter had been
talked about, shown in court, and tes-
timony concerning it taken, the ex-
kibit itself had not been formally in.
troduced in evidence. It is said that
the evidence against Adams was quite
strong, showing that there was rea.
sonable grounds to believe he was
guilty of obtaining money under false
pretenses as charged. The dismissal
Of the case was followed by his dis.
charge from custody. Attorneys for
the defendant claim that their client
cannot again be arrested on this
charge.
