FOND OF APPEALING TO LAW
Anecdote Shows Litieious Nature Of
South African Natives.

The Diamond Fields Advertiser. re-
ferring to the litigious nature of the
natives of South Africa, gives the fol-
lowing as an instance: "A native had
fought and lost an action in the mag
istrate's court in one Of the small
towns in Griqualand East, the articles
in dispute being slate and an alpha
betical primer of the total value of six
pence He, Immediately after the
judgment was given AGAINST him, start
ed on a journey ON foot to the chief
town, about 30 miles distant, in order
to instruct an attorney there to appeal
from the judgment given. The attor
ney laughed at the man and told
him he should desist, as he would only
be wasting his money over trivial
matter, but he rendered the costs of
the appeal to the attorney and insist
ed. otherwise he would consult an
other lawyer. After long consulta-
ton and endeavor to advise his client
to act as was thought best, the attor-
ney complied with the natives wishes.
The native won his appeal"

FOUND TREASURE IN CELLAR.
shoemakers May Have Discovered
Hoard Hidden by Monks.

A curious story is going the rounds
At Limoges, France, and has come to
light through an anonymous letter an
nouncing certain alleged facts to the
police authorities. 1t is asserted that
in 1901 two shoemakers named Valette
and Tricard, while effecting some re-
pairs to the cellar of the house they
occupied, discovered a treasure con-
sisting OF sum Of money and numer-
GUS valuable books.
The particular part Of Limoges
where the residence Of the shoemakers
was situated stands on the site OF an
ancient monastery, and it is thought
that the treasure found may have
been hidden by the monks. Just what
truth there is in the reported discov-
cry is not yet known, but 1t is as
serted that the two shoemakers, who
were previously konwn to be in
straitened circumstances, have of re-
cent years lived on a quite different
footing and have been able to pur-
chase numerous house properties in
the district.
Their landlord is now taking pro-
ceedings with a view of testing the
accuracy of the local gossip and of
claiming the treasure or at least a
part OF 1t.

The Vision of CITY Children.

A well-known English surgeon
called attention, some time ago, to the
inability of city children to see well
at a great distance. caused, he said,
by their restricted line of vision. The
other side of the street is about as far
as they have an opportunity of using
their sight. It is different with coun-
try children, who have an expanse of
landscape to look at, and can practice
their sight on great variety of OBJ
jects at distance. He suggests that
city children should be given every
possible chance to do the same, and
thus train the sight and strengthen the
eyes at the same time. There is so
much good sense in this suggestion
and II should have the serious atten-
tion of fathers and mothers.

Any one who has had to wait any
considerable length of time in a doc
tors public room until the man OF
medicine was ready to receive him
will appreciate an experience Of Con
gresham Francis w. Cushman OF
Washington state. 1t is said the con
gresham some time ago had occasion
to visit one of the noted physicians at
the national capital and was compelled
for many weary minutes to cool his
heels In an anteroom. Finally, his
patience becoming exhausted, he sum-
moned an attendant, to whom he said:
Present my compliments to the doc
tor. and tell him II l am not admitted
in five minutes l shall get well again. -
The physician found it convenient
to admit Mr.. Cushing at once.

As savaqes See Us.

The secretary TO the Katikiro Of
Uganda in his book, "Uganda's Kati-
kiro in England" tells how the dane
ing of English people impressed him,
and his opinion is certainly not fiat
tering.
"On this day." he says. q saw how
the Europeans dance to the piano. a
thing which they like doing very much.
When they dance they jump up and
down and twist around, men and wom-
en- holding on to each other in pairs;
for my part l preferred the music to
the dancing. which l thought was a
shameful thing for men and women to
dance thus together. They danced in
many different kinds Of ways, differ
ent way for each tune"

Under Southern Skies"

The remarkable success achieved by
Under Southern Skies Lottie Blair
Parker's beautiful play of the south is no
doubt due to the very natural and unforc-
ed manner in which Mrs. Parker has
handled her theme. In lines, situations,
incidental business and characterization,
Mrs. Parker has struck the keynote of
naturalness and has deftly evaded the
irrelevant incongruities that are generally
known as dramatic license and freely in
du ged in by some of our most expert
enced dramatists. In presenting Under
Southern Skies" the author has drawn
freely upon the human emotions and with
such consumate art that there are few
people who witness the play who do not
feel the same emotions as are being de-
picted by the various characters. Mrs.
Parker has handled her subject with the
skill and ease that shows the true
dramatic instinct The love interest is
all absorbing, and the comedy element is
so deftly blended with the more dramotic
situations that it becomes relevant to the
main story. Under Southern Skies will
be presented at the Auditorium Wednes-
day, November 25.

This sage reply is matched by lit

FAILURE OF
IRVING FIRM
Creamery Store and Cattle Buy
ers Involved In a Big
Failure.

The news of the failure of Peter
Hagen, storekeeper at Irving, and
of Hagen Bros. as cattle buyers,
has reached this city. The liabili-
ties are said to reach $11 900, and
a late report says that it is believed
that the creditors will realize about
40 cents on the dollar. The Bank
of Paynesville has taken charge of
the store. Peter Hagen was the
treasurer of the Irving creamery
and about 81, 700 of the company's
funds are tied up in the failure.
The treasurer was not under bonds,
and at the annual meeting of the
company held a month ago, the
books were examined and accounts
declared all right. The failure has
caused great surprise in the COM
munity, as Mr.. Hagen was consid.
cred a careful and conservative busi-
ness man. The creamery board of
directors Immediately pledged funds
to pay outstanding cream checks,
and at a meeting held yesterday
means were adopted to adjust the
affairs of the company to meet the
difficulty.

WILL BUILD
new BLOCK
Carlson Bros. & Frost win Have
Fine New Quarters on
Fourth Street.

One substantial improvement al
most certain to be made at Willmar
this coming season will be a fine
three-story brick block on the cor
ner of Benson avenue and Fourth
street, to be erected by C. B. Carl
son and 0. H. Westberg. The
building will extend from the cor
ner to Nelson's building. the old
Tribune location. The lower story
will be used by Carlson Bros. &
Frost, druggists, except the space
now used by Anderson Bros. which
is to be retained by them. The up
per floors will be used for offices for
physicians and dentists, Elkjer's
photograph gallery and probably a
hall. The plans for the building
are now being drawn, and there ap-
pears to be no reason why the con-
tract will not be let and the work
be begun in the spring. This is
one Of the finest corners in the city
and this building will be splendid
improvement and add greatly to the
appearance of Fourth street.

Our school is progressing finely un-
der Miss O'Flaherty's management.
The Hagen failure at Irving is
to be deplored by every one. How
it could be is as much a mystery as
the whole thing was a surprise. 1t
has been a great convenience to
have the Hagen Bros. buying stock
and shipping from Hawick, and
they will be missed in that capacity
as we'll. 1t is to be hoped that the
fault of the creamery board will
not be visited too heavily upon
them and that the patrons will rea-
lie that it is better to stay by the
creamery and even share in a loss
for which they are not responsible
than to withdraw and cripple things
still worse. In all wrongs innocent
persons must suffer with the guilty
so let US make the best of it. And
the patrons are not wholly blame
less. They are careless about at
tending the meetings, and do their
complaining when it does little
good, and let things go unques-
toned too much. It is every pa
irons business to know and be in
terested, and we hope in the future
that things will be more looked in
to so that this loss may not be re-
peated and that some other drains
may be stopped. And let US con-
tinue to urge the churn at Ha-
wick. It does seem so unbusiness-
like to haul coal, tubs, salt, etc., !,
seven or eight miles from railway
station and then haul the butter
back, when. with the churn at Ha-
wick and the cream hauled from
Irving would just cut the running
expenses in two.
