"And during that time you have per.

Ancient Fashion Jaraon.

The language OF the fashion plate
and the wonlan's paper Is sufficiently
appalling to the mere man even in
these days of emancipated and, we
may presume more grammatical wom-
anhood; but. according to an extract
from fashion journal Of 1887, the jar
gon Of those days was even more as.
founding. This is how the paper de-
scribed the dress Of certain Mile. d.
at the opera:
"She appeared in dress Of 'stiAed
sighs.' ornamcnted with 'superduous
regrets the bodice cut in a perfect
candor' point and trimmed with In
discreet complaints Her hair was
dressed in sustained sentiments with
hcaddress OF sustained conquest
ornamented with several 'nyaways'
and 'downcast eye ribbons, and her
collar was 'bcggar on horseback color. !"
No doubt all these marvellous terms
conveyed some meaning to the fash.
ionable woman Of the days when
French society danced on the edge Of
the volcano Of 1889. but to their de-
scendants OF today they have abso.
lutely no meaning.

measuring forty five millimeters AMI
began by saving the plate into halves.
The opening in the neck OF the bottle
measures fifteen millimeters, and in
order to get these halves into the bot.
tie he cut another segment of each Of
the halves OF the plate He built sort
OF tripod as resting place for the
movement. This tripod was assembled
after he had introduced its parts into
the bottle separately. The tripod is SO
constructed that 1t cannot turn when
the movement is being wound. The
four pieces Of the plate were fastened
side by side by means Of screws to
the platform attached to the tripod, o
long screwdriver and other tools espe-
cially constructed for the purpose hav-
Ing been used for this operation. When
the plate was put together, the clock
maker proceeded to put all the parts
Of the movement in their original
places with the motion wheels for the
hands. \ ring Of white metal was
placed around the neck Of the bottle,
and upon this ring was soldered q
round plate, thus closing the opening.

Mr.. Herolz admits cashing four Of
his private checks He doesn't say how
many mere) with county funds,
Mr.. Herolz also admits using county
currency for private purposes, to.wit:
Cashing A FEW wheat checks.
And these transactions took place
in spite Of section 24s4 Of the Revised
Codes Of North Dakota, 1907, which
reads:
III any county treasurer shall loan
any money belonging to his county,
with or without interest, or shall use
the same for his own purposes, he
shall forfeit and pay for every such
offense sum not exceeding five hun
dred dollars. to be recovered in an &C.
tion at law, at the suit Of the state OF
North Dakota, for the use OF the
county,"
The gentleman further states: "But
the county was not injured through
these transactions, nor syMs tie
county ts'easMser benefited there

Then, Mr.. Herolz, kindly explain
why you took county money and ran a
banking business, cashing wheat
checks In opposition to the banks.

people what right you had To take the

II Mr.. Herolz was not benefited by
taking county currency when others
could get none, why did he do il:
He says that he left his checks In
place thereof. Yes; but he certainl,
knows that he could not have gottel
currency for his checks at that time
and for that reason he helped himsel
from the county purse.
