WAS HE DREAMINeY

London News: One fine spring aft
ernoon little Harry was slowly making
his way home from school. thinking
deeply over a question which the
teacher had given him for homework.
He was to find out why, on warm,
showery day, vapor can be seen rising
of the earth. His path led him
through a shady wood, and feeling
rather tired after his vain efforts to
obtain a good answer to his question,
he lay down on a messy bank to rest
for a little while.
Suddenly he thought he heard a
chuckle, somewhere near his right ear.
and hastily looking in that direction he
beheld the queerest, funniest. little man
you could imagine. He was about sew
en- inches high and wore green jack
ct. tall red hat, and tiny brown boots.
A long gray beard nearly swept the
ground, and a pair of black, beady eyes
were twinkling with amusement at
Harrys fright.
What an ignorant little mortal it
is, to be sure" he piped, mot to know
what causes the warm earth to give of
vapor during a shower"
Harry who had somewhat recover
ed from his fright, felt angry at being
called IAN ignorant little mortal" by
little wood elf (for such the little
fellow was), but he asked for the ans
wer to the puzzling question.
why, we elves cause it," was the
reply. you see, we always like our
green jackets and red hats to be as
clean and. bright as possible, so we
take advantage of every shower. Why,
/ believe there is one coming now"
And he darted under large toadstooI,
to return staggering under the weigns
Of an iron basin, almost red-hot, about
the size of an acorn cup.
You see" he explained, I'VE keep
the basin hot in order to warm the
rain"
AS he spoke the shower came, and
the tiny basin was soon full of steam
ing water. The elf tore OFF his jacket
and hat and began to wash them as
though his life. depended on the result,
small cloud Of steam ascending all
the while. Harry noticed that all
around him steam was rising UP In
clouds. BY the time .rhe elf finished
his washing the rain had ceased, so
overturning his basin, he held up his
jacket and hat for Harry's inspection,
then, taking his basin under his arm.
he said. "Now you have your answer"
and vanished from sight.
Next morning Harry gave his answer
to the question, but to his surprise the
class only laughed, and teacher smil-
ingIy said he must have been dream.

James Davis and Frank Kelly,
charged with brutally beating Archie
Lees and then robbing him, demanded
separate trials: j. e. Mccarthy was
defendants attorney, and States At
torney Sinness tried the cases for the
state. An exceedingly strong case of
brutal robbery was made by the
states attorney and both men were
promptly convicted. The crime was
committed in box car at Leeds. The
defendants are both very bad men and
the efforts of the states attorney in
bringing these men to justice was
very commendable. While in Jail
awaiting trial Davis nearly killed an
other prisoner with a heavy coffee
cup, and he was put on trial for this
offense, States ATTORNEY Sinness pro-

HORSE THIEVES GUILTY.
Judd Miller Convicted by Jury While
Cannon Decides to Give Up Fight.

Cannon Decides to GIVE Up Fight.
Williston, N. D.. Dec. 4.--Courc has
opened and the criminal calendar was
taken UP. The first case to come up
for trial was that of the state against
Judd Miller. arrested on the charge
of horse stealing. The case went to
che jury, Monday and after being out
few hours a verdict of guilty was
returned. The authorities had been
on the trail of Miller for a long time
but no convicting evidence was OBJ
tanned until Sheriff Olson took a
hand. When Miller hit the trail
through the southern and eastern
part Of the state with a team Of horses,
Olson had his deputies after him
and he was arrested. He was
brought back here and bound over
for trial. AS he could not get bonds
he awaited trial in the county Jail
and it was here that the main evi-
dence against him was secured.
Stenographer j. A. Gamble, who was
in one Of the cells for the purpose Of
getting testimony, overheard Slim Bear
and Miller talking about their horse
rustling. This evidence was strong
and made Gamble the principal witness
against the horse thieves.
The case of the state against Pat
Cannon was taken up next. After the
jury had been secured and the state
had introduced the greater part OF
their testimony Cannon changed his
plea to guilty.
The case of the state against Rose
Gibson Of Ambrose, on a plugging
charge, came up for trial next. The
defendant did not appear. A verdict
Of guilty was brought in.
wednesday morning the case OF the
state against George Hicks, charged
with running q gambling table was
taken up.
VIM. Coleman, the colored boy who
shot Sally Luster through the arm,

Jennings came to Grand Forks and
rapidly established himself in the

shape and was soon very well known.
Then the perfume demonstrator'

infatuated. The infatuation resulted
in an engagement and they were
scheduled to be married, renting a
home and furnishing it.
The furnishings included many fine
pieces of cut glass as well as other
articles. Then Jennings was obliged
to make a trip out of the city and
when he returned he found his "in-

RAILROAD SCOUR COUNTRY
FOR ADEQUATE TIE SUPPLY

That an humble railroad tie is al
important factor in the material de
velopment of the country is a great
truth that Ia little understood by peo
pie outside OF railroad circles. The
puf1ng engine that speeds at the rate
OF mile or more n minute over the
country is slave to the two steel
rails that insure a smooth and safe
road. and these rails In turn depend
on the old-fashioned wooden cross-tie
which holds them In place.
Yankee invention has not yet found
n substitute which has induced the
railroads TO give mp wood, although
experts say that the day will surely
come when the country's forests viii
no longer be called upon to supply
the demand for tics. Up to the pres
ent time II seems that no other ma
terial has been found which has the
resiliency OF wood and which at the
same time causes less year and tear
on the rails, fastenings and roadbed.

last two or three years used O,OOO.-

er trees which are coming into the
market as tie timbers.
Cedar, which is very durable, has
been extensively used TO take the
place of white oak for ties, but II
is 80 soft tha It is readily cut by the
rails. This necessltates the use of tie
plates and other protective devices
when cedar ties are used. As the
supply OF cedar is also running short,
| It Is necessary for the railroads to
SEX further for new tie timber One
of the woods which has all the re-
quisites of a good tie, with the ex-
ception of durability, is the beech.
a beech tie generally consists
largely OF sapwood. which partly ac-
counts for It's lack of durability, but,
on the other hand, allows thorough
aud easy proscryative treatment. In
Germany and France beech ties have
been successfully preserved from de-
cay. and are used very extensively.
Beech is found widely distributed
throughout the eastern part OF the
United States, and at the present
time is comparatively cheap and
abundant. III, therefore, the railroads
whose lines are located-ln the regions
where beech Ia abundant can make
use OF this wood treated with some
suitable preservative, another source
OF supply OF tie timber will be opened
up.
Stumpage values have been in
creaslng so rapidly during the last
few years that many railroads have
found II necessary TO modify their
timber policy. and they yearly apply
preseryatives to a greater number OF
ties and 10 more kinds OF wood. Sub
stitute woods naturally vary with diff
ferent sections of the country, but In
most cases they lack the two essen
tial qualities found In white oak,

proves that wear can be successfully
