Cardinal Manning, the famous Eng
fish churchman, was gaunt Of face.
The great ecclesiastic's appearance
was so ascetic that he seemed to have
been almost starved. Once in Liver
pool he visited a convent, and the cook
knelt to him for blessing. which she
got.
MAY the Lord preserve your emf
nence," said she. and then, looking at
his thin face, she added, 'and, oh, may
God forgive your cook"

Sartorial Monstrosities S.

There are men we meet every day
who take such sartorial liberties as
almost drive one to despair. We have
to tolerate such monstrous combina-
tons as brown boots and frock coats,
silk hats and lounge suits and frock
coats and bowlers, and we are even
nerving ourselves to the expectation
of seeing a killed highlander in a silk
topper" London Outfitter.

Gus Parts Of the State
WILL PROSECUTE OFFICIALS
Attorney General to Sue Stock
we'll and Cooper.

Attorney General Miller, who spoke
at Fargo on the commission system of
municipal government, stated in an
interview that he intended to bring
an action against both Superintendent
of Public Instruction Stockwell and
Commissioner of Insurance Cooper,
fellow state officials. The former is
charged with the use of fees for his
Office, largely in xce of the amount
needed. and many newspapers of the
state have demanded that he make
restitution.
His Office was investigated by COM
mittees of both branches of the legis-
lature, and later by the public eX-
eminer's Office, all the Investigations
getting similar results. An account
ing will be demanded and the validity
of the law under which S%tockwell
claims the fees will be tested.
Stockwell is charged with employ
ing his wife, his sister and his sister
in-law, the latter of Minneapolis, at
the states expense; with offering
medals for oratory at different state
institutions. which he called Stock
well' medals, and purchased with the
states money, and other things of
that nature.
The charge against Cooper is that
he paid about $1,000 excessive ex-
change fees to Bismarck banks on
checks and drafts sent out by his de-
partment. 1t is contended that he
should have made the banks in which
he deposited money issue checks with
out exchange charges. No claim is
made that he profited in any way by
the deal.

the Payne bill as passed by the house
