Cooperstown Courier: One of the sill
Hest rumors which first found lodg-
ing place in the Uranium of the editor
of The Minot Reporter, is to the effect
that Senator McCumber is to resign
and that in event G. A. Johnson Is cleo
ted governor H. G. Hansbrough would
be appointed to fill the vacancy. Sen
ator McCumber has been very sick
man and 1t was feared for some time
that he would not be able to resume
his duties but no sane man ever
thought for moment that he ever in
tended to resign. The rumor Is along
the same foolish line as one which ap-
peared in The Fargo News recently to
the effect that Alex Mckenzie was to
blame because there was some delay
in starting the public buildings that
had been allowed by congress to diff
ferent cities of the state. The fact OF
the matter is that those new build
ings will be built just as soon as the
government architect can get the
plans and specifications. 1t takes time
to do these things and The News goes
long way out of the road of common
| decency to try to make a little capital
for the democratic senator, Purcell,
| whom The News claims is doing all in
his power to push these buildings
along. Doc Purcell is probably doing
more hustling to look after his corpor-
alton legal business than he is to get
these public buildings started.

Cooperstown Courier: II H. Aaker,
who was candidate before the pri-
marfes for governor and running as a
republican, has come out very emphatis
for c. A. Johnson, the successful nomi-
nee, and assures the voters of the state
that he will support Mr.. Johnson loyal
~ and calls on his friends to do the
same. Mr.. Aaker Is a man of indepen-
dent spirit and says that the repuoli-
cans should abide by the peoples
choice. Every voter in the state had
voice in the selection of the man they
wanted nominated for governor and 1t
would be foolish to go back on that
choice. Let the republicans support
their ticket in good faith and make a
fight for the recovery of the governor

How to Eat Leather.

The Infamous Captain Morgan and
lis piraticai crew were sometimes in
tight places at Panama and on one
occasion were reduced to eating their
icathern bags. "SOme persons" says
one of the company. Exquemelin
twhose narrative is reproduced in THE
Buccaneers In the West lndies",, who
never were out of their mothers kitch
ems may ask how these pirates could
eat. swallow and digest these pieces
Of leather, so hard and dry. Unto
whom only answer: That could they
once experiment what hunger. or. rath-
er, famine Is. they would certainly find
the manner by their own necessity. as
the pirates did. For these first took
the leather and sliced it In pieces. Then
did they beat It between two stones
and rub it. often dipping 1t in the wa
ter of the river. to render |; by these
means supple and tender. Lastly. they
scraped off the hair and roasted or
broiled it upon the fire. And being
thus cooked they cut it into snail NOR
sells and ate it. helping it down with
frequent gulps of water. which by
good fortune they had right st hand"
