TRUE AS GOSPEL.

The man who makes money in a
community has duty to perform to
that community. 1t may be that he
has made his money by his superior
business ability, and that he would
have done as well anywhere. That
does not alter the case. If his gifts
are great his responsibility is equally
as great. No man was placed on earth
for the sole purpose of making mon
ey, and the man who has this as his
ideal had better never have been
born. It is not an act of charity, but
the performance of a simple duty for
the man who has made money to pass
a little of it on for the benefit of the
community, even though he never ex-
poets to see a dollar of his contribu-
ton. l..

PROSPEROUS in DUNN COUNTY.
aFayette, the Home Of Mr.. and Mrs.
A. r. Little, Formerly of Bur
leigh County.

In its write-up of Dunn county, the
Dickinson Press spoke as follows re-
garding Mr.. and Mrs. F. A. Little,
old-time residents Of Burleigh county:
"Fayette, the home Of Mr.. and Mrs.
F. A. Little, is located upon a high
bank on the north side of the Knife
river, from which point a fine view
is afforded to the east. Natural groves
of fine trees surround the Little home.
A, modern country store, carrying a
$4,000 or $4,000 stock, is found here;
postoffice, which supplies Mary, and
temporarily Manning, as well as sort
ing the mail for Oakdale; a large,
roomy house, Gland Office and ranch
buildings. Mr.. Little's land business
takes him away from home much of
the time, but Mrs. Little finds time
and ability not only to attend to her
duties as postmistress, but to super
intend the work of four girls and four
men. Three N. p railroad surveys
have been made in this locality, and
the one the officials announce as that
which will be selected, runs on the
fiat directly in front of the Little resi-
dence" - &c.,,

he had to secure the assistance of a

HEN IN TRAP COSTS 500.
Starts Bitter Neighborhood Feud II
GrangeviIle County, Idaho.

Grangeville, Idaho.-One hustling,
hungry hen, owned by II. d. White.
which was caught in c. II. Lewis
steel trap last spring, has already cost
Mr.. Lewis over 500, and neighbor
hood row of such proportions has
gown up that It is probable that fur
Their costs will pile up.
White had Lewis arrested last
spring on a charge of stealing chick
els, and the jury assessed Mr.. Lewis
one dollar and costs. Lewis retaliated
recently and had White arrested on a
complaint that Whites chicken had
damaged Lewis garden at least eight
dollars worth. White responded with
a cross.complaint claiming eight dol
lars damage for chickens which he al
leges Lewis stole from him. The
jury found a verdict in favor of White
and assessed damages at 25 cents, but
Lewis must pay the costs Of the case
which, coupled with costs OF the for
mer trial. bring the total up to 800
The trial was bitterly fought and in
tcresting testimony regarding the
naighborhood feud was brought out by
the attorneys. Whether both men are
satisfied remains to be seen, but rela
lions are so strained that It is prob
able that the chicken quarrel will re
main live one.

POULTRY RAISER SEEKS REMU.
NERATloN FROM UNCLE SAM.

Sham Battle Destroyed His lneu.

ment Doubts Claim.

Fairhaven, N. This little village
on the banks Of the Navesink fur.
nished perhaps the last department
problem that William II. Taft, the Re.
publican candidate for president had
TO wrestle with during his term as sec.
rotary OF war
The problem was one OF poultry and
eggs, and Gen. Luke Il. Wright. his
successor as war secretary, and all the
bureau chiefs in the war department
are trying TO adjust the matter. The
question has to do with the effect OF
the conclusion resulting from the fire
OF the great guns that guard the en-.
trance to New York harbor on eggs in
process of Matching.
A. w. Handy of Fairhaven, who
raises some of the finest chickens in
all New Jersey, took the question up
with Secretary Taft. He had several
hundred eggs that we're, at the time of
the sham warfare In the forts, In in.
cubators and under hens The eggs
were all ruined, and on investigation
he found the loss Of the prospective
chickens was due entirely to the
shaking they got when the big guns
were fired during the sham battle that
was a feature of the coast artillery
maneuvers on the night OF June IS.
Here is a copy OF Mr.. Handy's let
ter to Secretary Taft:

able Secretary OF War; Washington. d.

am in the chicken business and on May
y last, set my incubators, also my hens.
The incubators held 40 eggs each, for
which I paid IS hundred. For the set
tings under the hens l paid 81 each.
on the 18th OF June / tested the eggs
and found that one incubator had % fer
tile eggs and the other 81 fertile eggs in
It. One OF the hens had fertile and the
other II fertile eggs. on Thursday, June
49, quite a large number Of the eggs had
pipped. That night the shooting OF the
sham battle took place and It killed all
my chicks in the shell. Kindly let me
hear from you In regard to this matter
As said before. am a poor man and
this means a quite n loss to me.

Mr.. Handy had no idea of the con
troversy he was stirring up when he
wrote this letter, He thought the gov
eminent, realizing It had injured his
property, would quickly recognize the
justice of his claim and pay for the
ruined eggs.
But Mr.. Handy found out his mis-
take in short order. Instead of a
check by return mail the claim was
referred to the officers in command Of
the forts that caused the trouble and
by them was referred back to Wash
