Pardonable Error.
There was great excitement on Mars
as the earth drew near. Astronomers
had their eyes glued to the telescopes
like postage stamps to love letters. and
their meals We're fed to them by sub
cutaneous injections.
Excited crowds outside were gath
cred around the bulletin board, which
had just announced that the earth had
several thousand satellites in addition
to the one big moon-either that, it
was stated. or else the earth people
were able to pick up their houses and
walk
Just then Professor Zazazaza, who
had been snatching few hours sleep,
woke up. turned his trained eye on
the earth and Informed the waiting
crowds that the women Of the earth
wore hats four times as large as them.

mistake.

SAG, 100000 Hartman Wealth

New York, Dec. 4-Edward
II. Hartman when he died was
worth $l49,0OO,OOO.
This became known today
when the appraisers appointed
by the surrogate's court COM
pleted their estimate of the late
financier's holdings. Before
the railroad wizards death and
shortly after it all sorts of esti.
mates were made about his
fortune, ranging from $50,OOO,-
600 to $25O,OOO,OOO, but there
was no means of telling, even
approximately, how much
wealth the mysterious little
man had accumulated.
The $l49,OOO,0OO is rather
more than most guessers at
Mr.. Harriman's riches thought
he had. The general estimate
of his estate was $lOO,OOO,OOO

Two of the jurors who convict
ed Till refused to sign his Pc
tition for pardon, although the
others did, and it developed
that their special reason for do
ing so was that they had pray
ed for devine guidance in Sc
curing a verdict at the time
the trial, and after the verdict
had been secured, no argument
could induce them to change
their minds. However. since
the evidence has been brought
to light which showed that
Till was innocent, one of The
Jurors las indicated his belief
in the Justice of the pardon,
bat the other has gone to his
long home.

Something Struck Him.


A motor was tearing along n country
road the other day when a policeman
suddenly loomed into view near some
crossways and held UP his hand. The
driver. feeling himself guilty of ex-
ceeding the limit. slowed up. with a
grunt of vexation. while visions of 20
lice court proceedings and 40 shillings
and costs" flashed upon him.
"What is it?' said he irritably as The
machine throbbed slowly past the po-
uceman.
"Well. sir. must
look here. constable" interrupted
the motorist. Pick this up and keep
your mouth shut" And half sover-
eign clinked upon the road
The policeman quickly stopped his
blue official back. and in twinkling
the motor had bounded on. the driver
chuckling with glee at having escaped
the law.
Some twenty minutes later that same

covering Consciousness. II wonder II

HumOr and
Philosophy
8y DUNCAN N. SMITH
plrIFuL IeNosshe.

GNHOUGH everybody else is wise
And painfully aware
That there is basis for the claim
And something in the air,
The trust itself is innocent;
Confess to that it must.
Whatever else 1t understands,
1t won't know it's q trust.
At the suggestion that perhaps
It's running combine
A sad expression slowly fits
Across its face benign.
1t raises piousiy its hands
That are not stained BY toll
AS though from anything like that
In horror to recoil.
1t may own ninety-nine per cent
OF everything in sight
Connected with its line Of trade
And have the lid on tight,
But still that little one per cent
Appears unto its eyes
Like competition strong and keen
That one should not despise.
Oh. yes. the trusts are innocent!
We get that knowledge straight.
1t comes to us direct from them
Aud SO is up to date.
But every person must admit
Who will his eyes believe
The imitation they put up
An expert might deceive.

NEMESIS AFTER
TILL WITNESSES
Retributive Justive Three Who
Sent Innocent Man to the
Penitenitlary ,,

Jamestown. N. D., Dec. Is
ID. 3. Morden of Wahpeton was
in the city on business and was
making inquiries concerning
the physical condition of Jacob
Martin, a patient at the asylum
admitted under the name of
Jacob Martonious, who is now
believed to have been implica-
ted in the murder of Adam
Miller in Pembina county for
which Joseph Till, a young
foreigner, was convicted and
served a term of thirteen years
in the state penitentiary, and
was only recently pardoned.
Mr.. Morden was the deputy
sh. riff at the time OF the trial
and became convinced that Till
was an innocent man and for
thirteen years he has worked
persistently without any hope
Of reward, save the easement
of his own sense of justice, to
secure the pardon of Till. He
interested the late Bishop
Stanley in his work, who rem
dered effective service.
Martonious. one of the three
principals implicated in the
murder, is in chronic state of
imbicility in the state hospital,
and has been so for the past
two years. Every one of the
three principal witnesses, who
swore falsely to evidence that
convicted Till, have been met.
ed out in different ways with
what might properly be called
re,ributive justice. One of the
parties who was sent to Jail for
another offense, at the trial he
swore that Till had confessed
to him that he had bought the
revolver with which to kill the
victim, and ten years later made
awritten acknowledgements
Till had confessed nothing of
the kind, but always claimed
himself innocent. The wife of
another of the witnesses sc.
cured a divorce and afterwards
married a negro, and the wit.
ness himself is wanderer on
the face of the earth.
Young Till rejoices in his
liberty and expects to return to
the old country to visit his
mother at Christmas time. The
story of the conspiracy which
was formed by the three Hun.
garians, to charge on Till the
murder of the best friend he
had and the subsequent reve-
lations, the disinterested work
of the people who believed the
accused innocent, and the sim
uous and long drawn out cir
cumstances that leads to a dis
closure of the facts have prob
ably no equal in the annals
of North Dakota crimonolopy.

"All is lost" said the discouraged
politician, "but honor"
"What is that:" said the deaf man
who had way Of hearing part Of

man.

The Court Of Appeals OF the State Of
Maryland has done its best TO even the
balances between capital and labor
The boycott has recently been con-
demned. under dramatic circumstances,
in the District OF Columbia Now comes
an important decision from the highest
court in Maryland, banning the blacklist
Some time ago q member Of q union
called the United Garment Workers Of
America was employed in en- open
shop IN Baltimore. He was discharged by
his employer for urging a feIlow-work-
man 10 demand higher wages.
The employer belonged 10 a clothing
manufacturers association, and he wrote
letters to the other members OF the as
ISOLATION IN Baltimore asking them to
bar the discharged man from employ
ment IN their shops.
This letter-writing kept the discharged
man from getting a job. And he brought
an action for damages against his former
employer. The cas- was thrown out OF
the trial court.
But the Court OF Appeals has now over
ruled the trial Judge.
Il is held that the blackliStinE letter
did injury 70 the workman; that the in
Jury was malicious. and that the work
man may have his remedy in an action
for damages
