George w. Newton: am in receipt
of a letter from my son who resides
at Seattle wherein he states that
there is more building going on there
at present than at any time ever be-
fore. However, the buildings being
erected are not of as substantial and
lasting an order than the ones which
are already built. The growth OF
Spokane, he says, is steady, percepti.
BILE and healthy.
Secretary: A meeting of the Rebec
cas- will be held this evening at their
lodge rooms. We expect quite few
Mandan visitors, and the meeting will
be called promptly at o'clock to en-
able our sisters from across the riv.
er to return on No 1. Mrs. Nevada
Hereford, state commander of the
Lady Maccabees, will also be present
and a full attendance of members is
requested.
Janitor Hess: All uotside doors. al
so inside doors at the high school
building swing outwards and are new
er locked during school hours or as
long as there is anyone in the build
ing. There are two stairways at
each end of the building, which have
six doors opening to the outside.
There is no electric wiring in the
building; no wood work near the
boiler and there is, in my opinion
no danger of fire.
Today noon the pupils using only
one entrance, were passed out in three
and one-half minutes. This is the
average time. In hurry using all en-.
frances the building could be emptied
in from one to two minutes. Parents
need feel no alarm about this build.
ing. The same may be said about the
Catholic school, with which am fam
iliar. A fine fire escape is provided

WHERE ENGLISH JUSTICE ERRs.
American Variety Not Quite So Bad
 In Some Directions.

It is only a century since the death penalty was inflicted in England for theft not exceeding the value of a sheep. Now some of the London jour- nals are making merciless exposure of magistrates throughout the king dom who keep up the tradition by sen- tencing petty thieves to jail, while in- fiicting only trifiing fines upon wife oeaters and even more brutal offend CTS. In one police court one defend ant was fined $2.50 for knocking his wife down in the street because she refused to give him money for drink, and another was sentenced to SO days Imprisonment for damaging growing potatoes and stealing two footballs. For cruelty to a horse, beating his wife, who was i'll, with fist and ham msr and leaving her with nothing to eat, one man was lined two dollars. while another, charged with stealing 2 pair of socks valued at 12 cents, got 14 days hard labor It would not be difficult to make up list of similar cases from American police courts, yet the tendency in America is rather toward higher estimate of the value of human lifs.-Van Norden Magazine.

BATTLE THE TAX eATHERERs.
ResIdents on Irish Islands Enjoy In-
 nunity from Taxation.

The difficulty of collecting rates in number of islands lying off the coast of Donegal, Ireland, was discussed at a recent meeting of che Donegal county council. It was stated that rates had not been paid in Tory Is- land for the last 20 years, and that within the past few years the island. CTS of Cole, Inisherer, Inishmair, Inishbotiin, and others had followed the example of their Tory brethren and developed conscientious objec- tion to rate collectors It was impos- sible to get boatmsn to take out col lectors to serve demand rates or make collections, and even summons servers who had summonses for the island CTS, were refused . passage. On one occasion the collector engaged . boat and succeeded in reaching the first Island before his mission was dis covered The boatman then refused
 to take him back to the mainland, and It was only after much promising and
 pleading that he was allowed to rs-en- ter the boat A councilman said that short of catching the islanders when
 they came to the mainland and strip ping their clothes sR them, he did not see how they were to be made to pay.

Arizona Disiikes Children.

Talk of children not being wanted fin New York apartments" exclaimed city woman who has recently re- turned from two years residence in southern California. Why. Arizona is the worst place in that respect that have ever happened to visit. You can hardly find any one there who will rent you house If you have children. We tried various towns in the state. but there were DO abiding place open to us because of our three little olive branches.
 We should have liked to settle in Tucson, but not landlord would have us. Finally we had to give up and go to southern California. where they are not so hard hearted. Wouldn't you think that new country like Arizona would be glad to have settlers with children, who would help to build up the region? But 1t doesn't seem to be so. l think somebody ought to call the presidents attention to this alarm Ing condition of things in one of the ,ewest parts of tho unian."

TOILET 4 REAL WORK OF ART.
Maiden of Japan as Equipped for
 Festive Occasion.

Tie Japanese college girl enter tained the fudge party with oriental "reminiscences
 "On every holiday" she said, "the Japanese maiden must rise and have her toilet finished before the sun looks over Fujiyama, our sacred mountain.
 And what a toilet! The long. coarse black tresses are washed. combed and creased till the head shines like knob .of polished black marble. The cheeks are rouged a fine pink. The throat, neck and bosom are powdered, but at the nape of the neck there are left three lines of the original brown skin, in accordance with the rules of Japanese cosmetic art
 With charcoal she rounds and lengthens her eyebrows. She reddens her lips with cherry paste. adding a gilt diamond to the center of the pouting lower lip. She puts on eight fresh garments and she ties her obi or great sash, in symbolic knot. Her socks-she doesn't wear stockings are very white and pure, and her clogs are lacquered till they shine like silk hat.
 Now she is ready to set out. She fills her silk tobacco pouch, thrusts her pipe in her girdle. puts six paper handkerchiefs up her wide sleeve and sallies forth, turning her toes in and waving her fan with a demure grace"

A Sham Love of Country.

Our country" Is an entity of which most American citizens are proud. They love their country. They will serve 1t. they will die for 1t; they re- sent any insult to our flag, and would make war with all the world rather than submit to dishonor And yet thousands of our countrymen who thus cherish national ideal are grafters, bribers, or bribed, advocates of cor ruption and agents of it in all that pertains to the business of the na- tion. They do not love the nation, but they love their country. The latter is an ideal. like religion. But the nation they regard as an every day affair, and their dealings with it like the business they do with sharp traders, in which each man considers lawful plunder whatever he can mako by exercise of bis wits.-Christian Register.

HIS FIRST LITERARY EFFORT
Not Likely Among the "six Best
 Sellers" of That Year.

A party of friends had gathered in the authors house to congratulate him on the success of his new book. They were extravagantly enthusiastic. as friends are apt to be on such oc- casions, and the young author was swelling visibly. The authors mother beamsd. Finally one of the guests turned to her. Tell me, did your son show symptoms of literary genius at an early age? I presume he did. and you've got some baby effusion treas ured away T have the first letter he ever wrote me" said the mother smiling, "and maybe you'd call 1t his first literary effort. He was on a visit to his grandmother's and he had never visited her without me before. But maybe you'd like to hear the let ter" The guests chorused "Yes" eag- er1y. The mother produced crum- pied envelope and paper and read slowly: Dear Mama--The dogs Is awful thick here. Your loving son."

The Limit of Life.

The most eminent medical scientists are unanimous in the conclusion that the generally accepted limitation of human life is many years below the attainment possible with the advanced knowledge of which the race is now possessed. The critical period that de- termines it's duration seems to be be- tween 50 and 50; the proper care of the body during this decade cannot be too strongly urged, carelessness then being fatal to longevity. Natures s helper after 30 is Electric Bitters, the scientific tonic medicine that revital- izes every organ of the body. Guaran- teed by Jackson Drug Co. 50c.

Then there was dull heads ache, and my mind seemed to be wandering continually. could not eat, and what little solid food did eat could not retain on my stomach. l tried every remedy could think of, and also tried out number of patent medicines, but without any apparent result.

The head ache seems to have disappeared, and the pain in my stomach along with 1t. The medicine is worth It's weight in gold. and I want to thank Mir. Cooper for what he has done for me-"
 Mfr. Edwin F. Morse, of 20 Oakley street, Dorchester, a suburb of Bos- ton, says: For three years I had not well day. My stomach was in frightful shape: the mere thought of food would nauseate me, and I really had a horror of anything to eat. All solid food would cause me extreme indigestion. bloating and gas on my stomach, and nothing tasted right.

LEARNED BY SAD EXPERIENCE.
kafIr Lad Found Out Just What a
 Beating Meant.

Just as 6 Kalr Is slow in locating pain which Is being experienced in his own body, so is he slow in imagining what others are suffering. A grown up Kafr related, says MT. Dudley Kidd, in Savage Childhood" that when he was child his father threat. ened him with beating if he did something or other.
 The child was puzzled as to what sort of thing a beating might be. for although he had often seen his bigger brothers beaten, his imagination was unable to work on the sight and re- construct the experience of these oth- CTS into terms of his own senses.
 When his father threatened him. therefore, he simply laughed. for he had not the remotest idea of how a beating really felt. It took a very short time for the young gentleman to extend the boundaries of his knowl- edge
 Swift retribution followed the un- pardonable sin of showing disrespect to his father. As the children go about entirely bare, there was no de- lay for preparation. The father took stick and applied it vigorously, "ac- cording to directions" and with entire success.
 When the tears and smarting were over." said the Kafr in his old age, q sat down and thought 1t over. Well, said to myself, now I know what fa- ther means hy beating. don't know what is the reason of it, but anyhow I know what sort of thing beating is I often laugh when I think how stupid l. was before that. ."-Youtbs Companion.

The new theory advanced by L. T. Cooper relative to the human stom- ach has attracted such widespread attention that the public in cities visited by the young man has been Joined by many physicians in dis cussion of his beliefs and medicines.
 Mir. Cooper says that human health Is dependent almost entirely upon the stomach. He says that no dis ease can be conquered without first alleviating all stomach disorders. He further says that most men and wom. en of this generation are half-sick, owing to degenerate stomachs. And lastly, he claims that his New Dis covery medicine will rejuvenate the human stomach in 90 days.
 Cooper has been travelling from one city to another, conducting in each what he calls a campaign of education. For the past year he has met the public in the larger cities of the country, and his success has been phenomenal. Thousands of people have fiocked to his headquar- ters wherever he has gone, and the sale of his medicine has been beyond anything of the kind ever before witnessed.
 Possibly the most interesting fea. ture of the attention this young man has attracted Is what his army of followers. whom he has converted to his beliefs through his medicines, have to say on the subject. The fol- lowing statements are from two well known residents of Chicago and Bos- ton, respectively, and the enthusiasm of these Is characteristic of Cooper's admirers generally.
 Mrs. H. B. Mack, of S201 State street, Chicago, says: "I have been suffering for 12 years from a com bination of stomach troubles. catarrh and constipation. I had a gnawing nAin in fhA nit of my af0mach n nnrt

To Clean Window Shades.

We have all heard the story of the woman who told the new maid to wash the curtains. meaning the lace ones, and came into the kitchen just In time to discover the newest window shades melting in the boiler. But we do not all know that when shades are merely dust soiled the surface can be freshened by the application of hot corn meal. The shade should first be spread out flat on large table and the meal rubbed in with circular mo. ton of the palm. Then if rubbed gen tly with soft. dry cloth the meal and the dust it has absorbed will be re- moved without leaving any trace of sither.-Country Life in America.
