Marriage Licenses.

Judge Moote issued marriage Ii
censes the past week as follows:
Sept. 29-Albert Sparrow of Prim-
rose and Miss Jettie Jansen Portland.
Oct. Robert Gustafson and Miss
Katie Leiske, both OF Finley. Judge
Moote then joined the couple in mar
riage, sending them on their way re-
joicing. But, this connubial bliss
was somewhat shattered when the pa
ternal ancestor of the bride, on learn
ing Of her location with her husband,
at q neighboring house, proceeded to
arouse the household and demanded
that the truant daughter should re-
turn to the paternal domicile. Pro-
testations on the part of the bride
that she was married only served to
increase the wrath OF. the irate parent
who said he would bust up the pro-
csedings. With this end in view, the
irate parent. came down to expostulate
with Judge Moote, but was advised
that his daughter was married and he
had better 60 home and cool off,

PRETTY HANDY.

Who says North Dakota farm
ers have no conveniences. A
Ward county tiller of the soil,
who is quite a genius has an
alarm clock which goes off at4:30
in the morning. THIS starts a
gasoline engine which tits the
hired girls bed, splitting her to
the floor. It also dumps the beds
of the hired men so everything
starts going. The engine pumps
water for the house and barn,
turns the oats into the horses
feed boxes, starts the kitchen
fire, turns the grind-stone, runs
the washing machine, does the
churning, saws the wood, peels
the potatoes, swings the gate for
the ducks and geese to 60 to the
pond for water, runs the patent
mixer while mixing an eye open
er for the old man when he is
taking his mornings bath. There
doesn't seem to be anything to
good for the North Dakota farm

Easy To Mix This.

What will appear very interesting to
many people here is the article taken
from a New York daily paper, giving
a simple prescription, which is said
to be a positive remedy for backache
or kidney or bladder arrangement, If
taken before the stage of Bright's dis
ease:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup sarsaparilla, three
ounces Shake we'll in a bottle and
take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and again at bedtime.
A well-known druggist here at
home, when asked regarding this pre-
scription, stated that the ingredients
are all harmless, and can be obtained
at q small cost from any good pre-
scription pharmacy, or the mixture
would be put up if asked to do so. He
further stated that while this prescrip.
ton is often prescibed in rheumatic
Affections with splendid results, he
could see no reason why it would moi
be a splendid remedy for kidney and
urinary troubles and backache, as II
has a peculiar action upon the kidney
structure, cleansing these most impor'
tant organs and helping them tc
sift and filter from the blood the foul
acids and waste matter which cause
sickness and suffering. Those'of our
readers who suffer can make no; mis-
take in giving it a trial.

Witchcraft superstiticns are still

crossest and most sour-tempered
old women IN the community, and in
"a loud voice utter their names into
the bung hole, and Immediately cork
it up, and you will have the best and
strongest vinegar in the neighbor-
hood.

restore 1t to its rightful owner. .
This done, the wheel is to be re-
placed by fastening it to the wagon,

our way, and the next moment two
gaudily uniformed officers climbed
aboard and asked whether / had
seen anything of rowboat. I told
them l had but that l paid no par
ticular attention to the direction the
rowboat went, which was only the
truth. The question as to wheth-
er had any stranger aboard truth
fully replied that l had not. After
walking around the deck for short
time, in a manner which seemed to
imply that they did not believe me,
the two officers went their way in
their launch.
"The next night we got ready to
sail, having secured our clearance
papers and the permission from tn,
port authorities to get away. Long
about eleven o'clock We weighed an
Choir and under fair 5rveze made
our way into the OPEN sea. Wed
travelled about half an hour when
the same launch in which the two
prison officers had come the night
before blew s,'ter us and came along
SIDE. Instead of the two officers,
however, out stepped my convict Wis
itor, tired, but evidently feverish IN
his happiness.
He told me that he had been
pursued the night before by the
keepers in the little power boat and
that he made for one of the small
islands in the harbor. That it had
been d game CT hide and seek be-
tween him and the prison officers
and that finally he had managed to
get at the other end Of the island
where the launch was moored and
get away in her, leaving the two
keepers on the island with rowboat
to get back to shore in.
81 could not go back in:o the har-
Dor without causing my owners
much expense, and so 1 decided that
| would not turn the young fellow
adrift, but instead, allowed him to
become one of my crew, after enter
ing him as 'castaway' and sending
the launch adrift. We were bound
for New Bedford. and l knew that
the cable would probably ask for the
detention of the escaped convict at
the Massachusetts port II the Guiana
authorities and thought the man
came aboard the Tidewater.
1.-TWO days before we reached New
Bedford. my convict sailor whose
name was Jacques, disappeared, and
it was not until long after that [
learned that he took a chance OF
swimming away to a passing schoon-
er bound for New York, so as to
cause me no trouble with the Amer
lean authorities at New Bedford"

THE CONVICT SAILOR.
Strange Addition to the Grew Of tho
Barkentine Tidewater.

Ever been in Cayenne, French
Guiana?" queried ED" Randall. Of
tie British barkentine Tidewater, as
he watched the crates of machinery
being lowered into the barkentine's
hold. well, only few sailing
ships go there nowadays, and all
that most people know about Cay
enne is that it Is place where pep
per comes from. You anchor six
miles away from the harbor and
there are two quays there where
there's little room for ships to land
their cargo.
1--WE anchored off Cayenne one
night several years ago, and all on
board the Tidewater were lying
around listless because of the awful
heat. There was nothing doing and
there was about as much noise
around our anchorage as in church
during a period of silent prayer.
Then we heard the swish of oars be-
ing carefully dipped In the water and
we saw rowboats max ng for us. No
light shone on the little craft and
when she came urder our bow there
was no hail
up the mans rope crawled fig
ure that looked gray in the moon
light and which shuff1ed aft to where
I was sitting with hesitating step.
The Monsieur lie Capitaine' that
came from the stranger told me IN
6 minute who my unexpected guest
was. The peculiar black and gray
stripes on faded clothes also add
ed testimony that my visitor was
making the call aboard the barken-
tine unknown to the French prison
keepers in the city.
1.-The story told by the poor fell
low was pathetic. He said he had
been convicted Of crime Of which
he was innocent, and, while much
of the proof of this allegation was
missing when he presented his case
before me as sort of final tribunal,
I believed him, and felt that I'd like
to help him, only that l could not
run foul of the French authorities by
knowingly, aiding and abetting the
fellows escape. told him so.
without word, but looking the
picture Of misery, my unfortunate
caller disappeared over the ships
side as silently as he had come
aboard and in few minutes we
hear. the swish Of the oars gradual

PRESENCE OF MIND.
Story by Eugene Cowles Of the Sud-

When Eugene Cowles was boy in

theatricals, and he tells good story
of one of his young friends who ap-
peared with him. His name was
Littlehale," says Cowles, land in one
of our shows he had to plunge into
river, pursued by wild beast. The
river was invisible to the audience,
and we fixed it so that Littlehale
should leap, disappear, and strike
mattress in the wings, while a stage
hand should drop big rock in tub
80 as to make a splash. The leap
worked magnificently in rehearsal,
but the night of the performance, the
stage hand forgot the mattress and
the tub. When Littlehale jumped he
fell eight feet to the oaken floor be-
meath and the crash was such a tre-
men1ous one that the audience not
knowing the circumstances, began to
laugh. Littlehale was equal to the
situation. Heavens he shouted
