Milk of Human Kindness.

There is a great deal of kindness lnd consideration in the world, even If the pessimists do try to prove the contrary. Some days ago one of the big transatlantic steamers sailed from Hoboken leaving behind a considera ble number of persons who had en- gagged steerage passage home and could not be accommodated in the rush for quarters. The Hartford Cou- rant was inclined to think it anything but square deal to sell tickets to more passengers than the vessel could provide quarters for, but learns that the aliens whose passage was delayed are being properly and comfortably cared for. The ship lines assume full responsibility, and society organized for the purpose supplements the com panies' efforts in case of need. Cots are put on boats which are at the dock, and each of the "holdoyers' gets 75 cents a day to meet living eX- penses while so detained. The Cou- rant adds: All this is no more than we expected It is a general rule about travel that the helpless persons find many who are ready to help them; a child properly labeled, can travel safe ly around the world with a good deal less labor than the experienced travel CT" It is a pretty good old world if touched in the right way.

State Superintendent George B. Cook has received reports from sev- eral county examiners that are far from being complete, and will have to be returned for correction.

Stole an Overcoat.

A man named Carl Jensen was in
the city last Thursday en- route for
Bowbells, N. D. After awakening
from a drowsy spell in the waiting
room of the depot, he found that
his overcoat that had been lying on
the seat was missing. He prompt
ly notified the sheriff. The fast
time freight for Sioux Falls was
just pulling out and the same was
tagged at Priam by Chris Birke-
land. No coat was found, but two
suspicious characters got off and
walked to Raymond. Here they
were held until the sheriff arrived
on the passenger. Bonde's earnest
talk soon convinced one of the gents
that it was no fooling matter, and
he confessed that he had taken the
coat, but had hidden it at Willmar.
He accompanied the sheriff back to
Willmar and found the coat where
he had hidden it in a coal car.
Jensen was mighty glad to secure
the return of the coat. The arrest
ed man said his name was Jim MUIR
ply of Chicago. When he had
come out into the sunlight with the
purloined coat he had become
frightened and did not dare to take
it with him. This was his first at.
tempt at crooked act. he claimed.
