Which Foot Walks Faster? 2.

You may think this very silly ques-
ton to ask, but 1t isn't. II Is a simple,
defnonstrablc fact which you can
prove to your own satisfaction In n
very few minutes II you will take a
pavement that Is clear so that there
will be no Interference and walk brisk
~ In the center. you Will find that be
fore you have gone fifty yards you
have veered very much 10 one side.
You must not make any effort, OF
course. to keep In the center, but II you
will think Of something and cndcavor
to walk naturally you cannot keep y
direct line The explanation OF this lies
in the propensity of one foot To walk
faster than the other. or one leg takes n
longer stride than the other. causing
one to walk TO one side. You can try
an experiment In this way by placing
two sticks about eight feet apart, then
stand on about sixty feet. blindfold
yourself and cndeavor 10 walk between
them. You will find 1t almost i.npos

AS will be seen by al article ia these
columns taken frem the Bismarck
Tribune, the suit for divorce brought
by Mr.. futile vas decided In his ia
vor last Monday. Mrs. Tuttle's
counter suit, or cross-bill, for divorce,
was therefore denied. The husband
had offered his wife hundred thou
sand dollars in cash, thirty thousand
dollar residence in Chicago, and one
thousand dollars year for ten years.
The interest on the cash he offered
to her would have been almost double
the sum she gets under the Judgment.
Although the trial vas behind
closed doors. there we're OF course a
good many people present as attor-
neys, witnesses, and 10 Official and
clerical capacities. People down from
Bismarck ray theirs is nothing secret
In that city as to the character Of the
testimony given. There WAS never
such : fall-down in court proceedings
In these parts IS was the attempt to
besmtrch Mr.. futile in the recent
:rial. He comes out Of the trouble
just as those who knew him best
claimed that he would-with not q

was not an honorable, fair minded and
upright man 1t every stage Of his do

circulated regarding Mr.. futile in
the matter OF his being ahard hearted

Nick van de Klashorst, OF Westfeld,
had the misfortune, Wednesday, to
lose an expensive gold watch on the
streets Of Pollock. Ole Thorset, of Gale,
found the watch soon afterward and
left it at the Progress Office. The

elated over the easy recovery Of his
time piece and deemed himself lucky
that it fell into honest hands. Pol
lock Progress, 18th.
1t is doubtful whether any other
town of its size in the state Of North
Dakota is a better place than Linton in
which to trade. Top prices are paid
for grain, and there are six general
stores carrying large and well-assort-
ed stocks from which to make selec-
lions. 1t is not remarkable, therefore,
that Linton draws trade from a long
distance from the Standing
Rock Indian reservation.
1t would seem almost like the in.er-
position of providence in Furnishing a
great crime that Mr.. Herolz, with all
the political cards stacked in his IA
vor, was badly defeated for the legis-
Nature: while Mrs. futile, the woman
whom he misled into writing to him a
Ilbelous letter about her husband, is
defeated in her cross-bill divorce suit.
Mr.. II. should hereafter forego the
1 writing of letters to other mems
/ wives.
John P. Schott, merchant of Zee
in Mcintosh county, was recently
acquitted In the federal court. before
Judge Amidon, at Fargo, of perjury In
the giving OF testimony when proving
10 on a homestead. The technicality
ON which he was cleared was that the
testimony was not sworn 10 by him.
II seems that the officer before whom
the proof was taken had several proofs
on that day;so he heard the testimony
and secured the names OF those giving
II. and afterward filled out the blanks.
Residence bui dings are very scarce
IN Linton, and hence it is that many
families coming to town are glad 10
get temporary quarters in the former
hotel building in the ''old town n
West Linton. For this reason, too,
there is scarcely ever time when
there are not several families residing
IN that building. But what the Rec
ord wants to say is that at the present
time the families in the building are
"owners' OF twenty-five (twent-five
count 'em) boys and girls; while just
across the street there are ten more

"An American Girl by the Aringtons,
was finished and artistic. That It
pleased was attested By the liberal
applause. for Billings audiences are
naturally cold, and when they do APP

serves it. At the end OF the third act
there was round after round Of ap-

of waiting between acts.
