LIKED THE FIGHTING APOSTLE.
Name Of ST. Peter Appealed to Heart
Of Soldier.

Il Is we'll known that Elias Howe,
the inventor of the sewing machine.
not only enlisted as a common soldier
in the ranks Of the Seventeenth Con
necticut regiment, carried a musket.
and did full military duty during the
war, but at a certain juncture, when
national finances were at low ebb.
he paid soldiers out of his own pocket.
Relative to this incident, P. T. BarnuIn
used to tell this story: s.."
while Mr.. Howe was counting out
the money referred to, stranger, who
was a clergyman, entered the tent and
said he had heard Of Mr. Howe's lib
erality and had called TO ask him to
contribute toward building church
for his congregation. 49,.
Church, church. said Mr.. Howe
without looking up from his bills he
was counting; building churches" in
war times, when so much is needed to
save our country! What church is
it?'
est. Peters church, replied the
clergyman. ....
"'Oh, st. Peters, said Mr.. Howe;
well st. Peter was the only fighting
apostle-he cut mans ear off. I'll
go $500 on st: Peter, but am spend,
ing most of my money on saltpeter
now" - ..r $500 90.

The Opera In History.

In one sense the opera is one OF the
oldest forms o: entertainment, for it's
origin is to be found in the old Greek
drama. In it's modern sense, however,
1t dates from the year 1900, when Peri
produced the first true Italian opera to
grace the festivities of the marriage Of
Henry w. of France and Maria de
Medici. The work attracted great at
tention, and many Italian mobiles fig
ured In the cast. In France the opera
was the outcome of the ballet and in
England of the masque. Purcell is en-.
titled to the honor of producing the
first real English opera, although one
OF Ben Jonson's Mosques was set to
music as early as 1917.

LIQUOR CASE TO Be TRIED
Bitter Contest Over State Law Taken
to Federal Supreme Court.

The bitter contest that has been
waged the past two years owe the
constitutionality of the state law pre-
scribing that holders of federal liquor
permits must publish that fact through
the newspapers, as we'll as post the
license in a conspicuous place, will
be renewed on Nov. 20, when a case
will be tried before the supreme court
of the United States at Washington.
R. e. Flaherty of McCanna is the de-
PENDANT in the case started by the
state, and will make application for a
writ Of habeas corpus, contending
that the law under which he was ar
rested is unconstitutional.
The law prescribing that the hold
ers Of licenses shall make publication
thereof was passed by the state legis-
lature in 1907.
When Flaherty was placed under
arrest for failing to publish the hold
ing of a license, he made application
to the district court of Grand Forks
county for a writ of habeas corpus,
which was denied. The case went to
the state supreme court. where it
was again turned down, and now it
will come before the United States
supreme court.

NEAR END
Nicaraguan Charge d'Atfaires
Is Snubbed.

Washington, Nov. 23.-The fact that
Mr.. Rodriguez, Nicaraguan charge
d'affaires, called at the state depart,
ment and was not received indicates
that diplomatic negotiations between
the two republics have been broken
off, although no formal notification to
that effect has yet been given.
Mr.. Rodriguez made his visit about
4 p. Ii. He took a seat in the diplo-
matte reception room and notified Mr..
Adee that he was present. Mr.. Adee
apparently paid no attention to the
information and Mr.. Rodriguez, after
waiting about fifteen minutes, put on
his hat and left in high dudgeon.
Preparations are being made for
400 marines to sail from Philadelphia
either for the canal zone or for Mic
aragua next Saturday. This will con
stitute the first armed force to land
in Nicaragua, if developments in the
situation there within the next few
days require slch a course. All will
depend upon the action to be taken
by the state department, which is
marking time, pending the receipt OF
additional details of the killing of the
two Americans. Grace and Cannon.
