A Deceptive Air.

The Bushby storekeeper surveyed
Mr.. Leonard with a contemplativc eye
and then turned his gaze toward Jim
my Sloane, who was putting packages
into the delivery wagon. Jimmy had
the lcisurely air of one with plenty Of
time at his disposal.
You want to know how he'd be for
your business down below?' said Mr.
Gregg slowly.
Yes" said the visitor Il noticed
him yesterday, when that crowd Of
young fellows were getting the piano
into the hall; he seemed to work hard
or than any of the others. 1t occurred
to me he might like bigger chance
than he has here
m" said the storekeeper. well,
now, can't say as to that, Of course,
but as to his working harder than any
of the other boys, I'll tell you what
they say, and you can believe 1t or not,
jest as you choose.
"Thcy all like Jimmy, for he's first
rate company, but the truth is that
when it comes to lifting, or such work,
Jimmy's all take holt and mighty lit

have been several cases in Fargo

Forum. seems to be new disease.
and is battling physicians. 1t at
tacks only young children, and its
appearance in one or two cases in
Fargo has caused some comment.
In the larger eastern cities, where
congestion of population is marked,
the disease has caused number of
deaths in the past few weeks. AL
though physicians seem to be UNI
able TO understand the disease or its
cure, it is by no means always fatal.
Whether the disease is contagious
or not is a mystery; but it seems TO
spread, sometimes seemingly with
out any direct contact. 1t is said
that some of the greatest physicians
of the country are making a
thorough study of the disease and
its cause.

Dark Malls Best For illumination


Some scientists who have been MAX
ing Investigations into the part played
in the matter of Illumination by light
and dark walls have come to the con-
clusion that the dark walls are better
fitted for good illumination than the
light. In q room where the walls are
dark and where the source of light is
entirely behind the readers field Of VI
sion a person who reads is impressed
with the idea that the room is excel
lcntly we'll Illuminated, but IL now an
other light is brought into the room and
placed within the field Of his vision,
though not shining on the paper he is
reading, the pupils Of his eyes will con-
tract, less light will enter them from
the paper he reads, and the reader will
be impressed with the idea that the H.
Elimination has been reduced and the
paper is becoming darker. These sci
entists say that the experiments show
that if the walls are light colored the
efficiency of the illumination may actu-
ally be ished.-Pathfinder.

Lazarus-"two months, one month, six

to relent, was speeches.. "1'll tell you

voice ordered her to pronounce SEN

Rhinoeero. . Bad Foe.

While easily stalked. the rhinoceros
is dangerous customer, as most men
will agree who have hunted him. If
the rhinoceros gets ones scent he al
most invariably charges, often proba-
bly, from sheer curiosity, but that does
not make him any the easier to dis
pose Of Moreover. he runs and turns
at speed uncomfortable in beast Of
his vast bulk. Against his massive,
sloping head the heaviest bullet Is a
mere flea bite. leaving no possibility Of
stopping shot except with hard
nose ball sent fairly into tho heart
through the chest. An alternative is to
stand absolutely motionless, when
with his bad eyesight there is a posi-
bility he may mistake you for tree
and veer past. Indeed, the best ruse
in the crisis Of any charge is to stand
fast and still, for even the unwounded
lion sometimes swerves in his charge
and retires before man who has tho
nerve to wait his coming. Edgar
Beecher Bronson in Century.

The Picture In DISGUISE.

OF the strange vicissitudes through
which many of the worlds famous pic
lures have passed perhaps none was
oddcr than that of "The Picture In
Disguise" a magnificent painting that
now adorns the residence Of Lord
Leigh in Warwickshire, England. This
remarkable picture for many years ap-
pcarcd to be merely a painting Of flow
ers. The floral study was, however,
finally pronounced by an astute art
dealer TO be in reality a mask for an
other painting. With the permission
OF the owner he caused the painting of
flowers gradually to be removed,
whereupon there was discovered I'M
derneath very fine portrait of
Charles I. by Van Dyck. While no au-
thcntic record of this masterpiece has
been found, it is supposed that the
portrait was disguised by some royal
list in order to guard against its de-
struction by Roundheads during the
revolution.-Bo Post.

a Mi.taken un;f,rm.

Uniformed officials are often puz-
zlc to American travellers. An instance
of this is given in "Recollcctions OF a
Varied Career" by General w. f..
Draper, formerly American ambassa-
dor to Italy. General and Mrs. Draper
were travelling In Russia when they
had the following amusing experience
In the sleeping car:
Mrs. Diapers maid, Marie, speaks
German MS well as French, but Rus
sian is beyond her. After Mrs. ORA
per's bed was made she desired an
other pillow, and Marie rushed into
the corridor to get one. Seeing a man
in uniform-the railway porters wear
uniforms -she demanded a pillow in
German.
II have no pillows" said he.
"a bolster, then" said Marie.
Il have no bolster"
"Then give me couple Of towels to
wrap up one Of these dirty cushions"
Il have no towels either" said the
uniform. II am colonel In his maj
esty's imperial guard"
Poor Marie nearly went into hyster-
les, and was called In to explain that
no offense was meant.

Not an Easy Task.

The Jamestown Alert reflects the
real conditions surrounding the pas
sage of tariff bill in this country
when it says: No bill ever brought
up before has occupied both houses
for such a length of time. and no
other measure has been so thorough
ly and carefully followed by the
people of the United States, as this
new tariff measure, over which the
last presidential campaign was
waged. Every business interest in
this commercial nation was vitality
interested, some of them being en-
tirely antagonistic. Therefore, a
measure that could pass both houses
must necessarily be compromise.
Concessions were forced from all.
The agricultural interests of the
west and the manufacturers of the
east, the interests of the north and
of the people of the south, all had
to be considered. Each presented
its claims in full, and each was
given due consideration. During
the four months of discussion the
vast extent of the business carried
on by this wonderful nation was re-
vealed.
That any bill could pass two legis-
latlve bodies of men representing so
many adverse interests seemed near
" impossible; and that the measure
was passed at last is greatly due to
the fight made by President Taft,
who insisted upon revision, and a
revision downward. as promised
during the campaign by the republi-
can party, and he forced many con-
Icessions that otherwise could not
have been obtained. While it is adj
mittedly true that the Payne bill is
not entirely satisfactory to the
Northwest. yet it is undoubtedly the
best that could be passed at this
time; and when congress recon-
venes in December President Taft
undoubtedly will continue his stand
for further revision downward as
promised to the people of the west,
who assisted in electing him presi-
dent by an overwhelming majority.
