An Unnecessary Confession,

A hearty laugh was occasioned at
the Birmingham police court by a pris.
oner who gave himself away in a very
delightful manner. The man was the
first on the list, and the charge against
him was merely one of being drunk
and disorderly. He stepped into the
dock, however, just at the moment
when the dock officer was reading out
few Of the cases which were to come
before the court that morning, and q
guilty conscience apparently led him
to mistake these items fer list Of his
previous convictions.
He stood passive enough while thu
officer read out about dozen drums
and disorderlies, but when he came to
one "shopbreakins' the prisoner ex
claimed excitedly, That was eight
years ago, your honor" Everyone be.
gan to laugh, and the prisoner, realiz
ing the blunder he had made, at first
looked very black indeed, but finally
saw the humorous side Of the matter
and broad smile spread over his face
His blunder did not cost anything

Too Ardent a Lover.

Georgotto Fontano, an embroiderer
who lives in the Rue Sevres in Paris,
has found herself condemned to a
months Imprisonment for what seems
to her harmless act.
She was going home from concert
a few evenings ago when she decided
she would like to see her flance. Az
he happens to be q fireman whose
station is In her own neighborhood It
occurred to her 1t would be very easy
to summon him to her side by break
ing the glass Of the fire alarm and
sounding q call.
She did so anr in few moments
fire engines came from several direc-
tons, all laden with firemen, Of course,
but alas! her fance was not among
them, and more than that all the fire.
men were angry, and before she knew
what had happened she was taken to
a magistrate, who proceeded to make
the course Of true love run unsmoothly
by sending her to prison for month
in spite Of her tears and protests that
she thought 1t would be simple way
Of bringing her fiance to her side.

Planting WeddIno oaka.


Princess August Wilhelm, wife Of
the kaiser's fourth son, has set herself
the task Of reviving one Of Germany's
oldest customs, that according to which
newly welded couples Immediately at
ter the marriage ceremony plant cou.
pie of oak saplings side by side in q
park or by the roadside Of their ma.
tive town.
The town Of Mulchausen, in Thurin.
gia, is the first to respond to the prin-
cess appeal. A municipal official an.
pears ut the church door after every
wedding and invites the bride and
bridegroom to drive with him in car
riage to a new road near the town and
there plant oak saplings.
The tree planting idea was started
by former elector of Brandenburg
with the object Of repairing the raw.
ages caused by the 80 years war. The
elector forbade young persons to mar.
~ until they had planted number Of
fruit trees.

Two Very Old Ladies.

Two Very Old Ladies'.
We have heard a great deal lately
about long-lived people, but it is prob.
able that the oldest two. people in the
world today are Frau Dutkievitz and
another old lady named Babavaslika.
The former lives at Posem, in Prus.
sian Poland, and was born on Febru-
ary 81, 1856. She is therefore one
hundred and twenty-five years old.
The latter, however, is nine months
her senior, having been born in May,
1884.
She is still fairly hale old woman,
and for nearly one hundred years
worked in the fields. Her descendants
number close on 100, and these now
make her a joint allowance. She lives
at the village Of Bavelsko, whose
neighborhood she has never quilted
during the whole Of her long life. She
remembers events which happened at
the, beginning Of last century much
more clearly than those Of the last
40 years.-Dundee Advertiser.

Vivid at Least,

Dr.. Hiram, c. Cortlandt, the we'll.
known theologian of Des Moines, said
in a recent address:
Thomas A. Edison tells us that he
thinks the soul Is not immortal; but,
after all, what does this great wizard
know about souls? His forte is cleo.
tricity and machinery, and when he
talks of souls he reminds me irresist-
IDLY of the young lady who visited the
Baldwin locomotive works and then
told how q locomotive is made.
You pour she said. a lot of sand
into lot Of boxes. and you throw old
stove lids and things into a furnace,
and they you empty the molten stream
into hole in the sand, and everybody
yells and swears. Then you pour 1t
out and let it cool and pound it, and
then you put it in thing that bores
holes in it. Then you. screw 1t to.
gether, and paint it, and put steam in
it, and it goes splendidly; and they
take it to drafting room and make
a bluep rint of 1t. But one thing for
got-they have to make boiler. One
man gets inside and one gets outside,
and they pound frightfully; and then
they tie it to the other thing, and yo,,
ought to see It go!'"

Physicians Want Legislation.

Bismarck.-Medical physicians OF
North Dakota will, propose a new
.meausre aimed at the con-
troll of the practice of medicine for the
consideration of the next legislative
assembly, to which there will be no
little opposition. Osteopaths of the
state, in particular, will object to the
bill, and a renewal of the fight that
was made at Bismarck two years ago,
when the osteopathic board examining
bill was passed. is expected.
Under the terms Of the bill that has
been drawn up it is proposed to Gre
ate a single medical board for the ex-
animation of all who desire to practice
surgery in any form in the state. The
examination that will be given will
be particularly On the question of d.
agnosis. The board would be COM
posed of members to be appointed by
the governor on or before Aug. /.
This board would take the place of
the present board that has been es-
tablished for several years. Two ex-
aminations each year are proposed,
one to be held in January and the 9TH
er in July.

An Alaskan Luncheon.

Runners of woven Indian basketry,
with white drawnwork doilies at each
of the IL covers, were used on an oval
mahogany table. The doilies were
made at Sitka. In the middle of the
table mirror held tall central vase
Of frosted glass, surrounded by four
smaller vases, all filled with white
spring blossoms. The edge of the
mirror was banked with the same
flowers. Four totem poles were placed
on doilies in the angles made by the
runners.
Place cards were water colors of
Alaskan scenery. Abalone shells held
sailed nuts, and tiny Indian baskets
held bonbons. The soup spoons were
of horn, several Of the dishes used
were made by Alaskan Indians, and
the cakes were served on baskets.
The menu was as follows: Poisson

Yukon climbers (broiled salmon, po-
tatoes Julienne), snowbirds avec
auroraborealis (roast duck with jelly,
Shungnak river turnips, Tanana

Will Begin River Work.

Bismarck-The government has de-
cided to put in great deal more re-
vetment work or "riprapping' alons
the banks of the Missouri river from
the end of the old work near the Bis
marck Indian school extending south
1t Is not definitely known how much
riprapping will be laid, but the csti-
mates vary from 5000 to 1000 feet.
The work will be done during the
winter and it will be commenced as
soon as United States overseer ar
rives in the city. 1t will start as soon
as possible after his arrival.
The work will mean the employment
Of between 100 and 1875 men and be-
tween thirty and forty teams, and will
be pushed as rapidly as is consistent
with good results.

Bankers and Bank Notes.

Four men, three of whom were con-
nected with brokerage concerns in the
Wall street district, were discussing
United States paper currency and the
disappearance Of counterfeits. 1--WE
are SO sure nowadays" said one of
the party. 'as to the genuineness of
bills that little attention is paid to
them in handling, except as to de-
nomination" To prove his assertion
he took $40 yellowback from his
pocket, and, holding 1t up, asked who
could tell whose portrait it bore. No
one knew, and by way of coaching
the broker said it was the first treas
urer of the United States. Again no
one knew the name. "Why, It's
Michael Hillegas,' said the man
proudly. But in confidence. Ill tell
you, didn't know it FIVE minutes
ago."-New York Tribune.

EARTH LODGE.
ACCURATE:lN ALL DETAILS
Mandan indians Formerly Made Sub
stantial Structures That Re-
CURED Considerable Skill
AFRO Curios Now.

Bismarck, N. D., Dec. 1.-THE state
historical society has received model
of typical earth lodge of the Mandan
Indians, which was made by James
Holding Eagle, who lives on the Fort
Berthold reservation, and his mother,
Scattered Corn. The model follows in
every respect the pattern Of construc-
ton Of the old-time lodges of the Man.
dams. Scattered Corn is especially
competent to direct her son how to
build the model as she lived in, and
helped to construct, in her younger
days, just such home. and was the
daughter Of Moves Slowly, one of the
greatest members of the Mandan tribe.
The model follows faithfully the
exact process of construction, even to
the materials used. 1t is over two
feet in diameter and nearly foot
high. The old lodges varied from
twenty-five to fifty feet in diameter
and were from fifteen to twenty or
twenty-five feet in height. The meth
cd of building the old-time lodges,
which was used by James Holding
Eagle and Scattered Corn in making
the model, is as follows, the only diff
ference between the real lodges and
the model being the dimensions.
FIRST of al! a circle was marked off
on the ground. varying from twenty
to fifty feet according to the size Of
the lodge to be constructed, and this
was dug down to about a foot and a
half in depth. In this circular trough
were placed poles about ten feet high,
resting on inner poles and crossbeams.
In the center of the lodge were placed
four poles, equidistant from each 9TH
er and about fifteen or twenty feet
high. These were fastened together
at the top with crossbeams, across
which were laid smaller poles to hold
up the roof.
From the outer circle of poles to the
four center poles or crossbeams.
smaller poles were placed on which
was laid mat made of willow boughs
woven together with thongs or with
strips of willow bark. Over the entire
framework of the lodge grass was then
strewn, on which over foot of earth
was packed down hard, so hard in fact
that the inhabitants might be able to
climb to the top of the roof.
In the center of the roof on top was
LIE
This was called the smoke hole, and
with the exception of the door was
the only opening in the lodge.
The model shows all Of these things
the outer circle Of poles, the inner
poles with their crossbeams, the side
poles on which are placed the mats of
willow boughs, the layer of grass, and
the covering Of earth, the smoke hole,
and the doorway. In addition to this
the interior of the model shows the
place on the right hand side of the
door as one enters the lodge where the
horses were kept, the place for the
sacred relics opposite the doorway, and
the Indian bed (omunkasekosh), which
was clear across the lodge from the
place where the horses were kept. AL
together it is a valuable addition to
the collections of the state historical
society.

That Suit for Libel

disagreement about advertising arose
with weekly" Journal. q
Following it, an attack on US appeared In
their editorial columns; sneering at the claims
we made particularly regarding Appendicitis
We replied through the regular papers and
the weekly" thought we hit back rather too
hard and thereupon sued for libel
The advertisement the weekly" attacked
US about claimed that in many cases of appen-
dicitis an operation could be avoided by dis
continuing indigestible food, washing out the
bowels and taking predigested food Grape
Nuts.
Observe we said MANY cases not ALL
Wouldn't that knowledge be comfort to
those who fear surgeons knife as they fear
death?
The weekly" writer said that was lie.
We replied that he was ignorant Of the facts
He was put on the stand and compelled to
admit he was not DR.. and had no medical
knowledge Of appendicitis and never investi
gated to find out II the testimonial letters to
our Co. were genuine.
A famous surgeon testified that when an
operation was required Grape-Nuts would not
obviate it. True.
We never claimed that when an operation
was required Grape Nuts would prevent It.
The surgeon testified bacteria tgeTms1 help
ed to bring on an attack and bacteria was
/. grown by undigested food frequently.
We claimed and proved BY other famous
experts that undigestsd food was largely
responsible for appendicitis.

Plain common sense shows the better way
is to stop food that evidently has not been
digested.
Then, when food Is required, use an easily
digested food. Grape-Nuts or any other If
you know 1t to be predigested (partly digested
before taking).
We brought to Court analytical chemists
from New York, Chicago and Mishawaka Ind
who swore to tho analysis Of Grape-Nuts and
that part of the starchy part Of tho wheat and
barley had been transformed into sugar. the
kind Of sugar produced in the human body by
digesting starch tthe large part Of food).
Some Of the State chemists brought On by
the weekly" said Grape-Nuts could not be
called "predigested" food because not all Of
It was digested outside the body. .e
The other chemists said any food which had
been partly or half digested outside the body
was commonly known as "predigested."
Splitting hairs about the meaning Of word
It is sufficient that IL only one-half Of the
food is "predigested." 1t is easier on weakened
stomach and bowels than food in which no
part IL predigested.
To show the facts We introduce Dr. Thos
Darlington. former chief Of tho NJ. Board
OF Health, Dr. Ralph w. Webster, chief 81 the
Chicago Laboratories. and Dr. B. Sachs, n z.

Not Altogether Dead.

NOe NSSO80SueT OSd0s
Mr.. Robert Butler of Marlborough,
England, has had the peculiar -expe-

conference at Exeter when one Of
the delegates moved that, in conse-
quence Of the death of Mr.. Butler,
which they all regretted, another gen.
tleman, whom he named, should be
appointed to fill his place as one Of
the representatives of Wiltshire ON
the central committee. Mr.. Butler
rose from his place on the platform
and announced to the conference,
amid much amusement, that, so far
as he was aware, he was still alive
and in good health, and would be
pleased to continue in the Office If the
conference desired.
