There Is a man who has some diff

HE has a peculiar manner of find

returns home from work he never

through q sort of ceremony. First he
throws his hat in the house, and then

the hat being thrown out again he en-

The Fishinq Otter.

The otter used by Scottish poachers
is one Of the most deadly fishing In
struments known. In some waters
1t is far more effective than net
1t may be described as water kite,
which serves to take out over the
water line bearing fifty or more flies.
The otter itself is a floating piece of
board loaded along one side TO keep it
upright. The poacher walks along the
side Of the loch or river, letting out
the fly decorated line as he goes. the
otter board gradually working out
toward the center. An enormous area
Of water is fished at one time aud
numbers of fish are killed

HIS TRAGIC DREAM.
a Grim Ghost Story That Comes
From the Netherlands.


From the Netherlands.
The following remarkable ghost
story is told of two brothers, members
OF distinguished family In Friesland.
province of the Netherlands: The
young men were officers In the same
regiment. aud their only fault-a GER
tain rash valor. so different from the
quiet prudence so characteristic Of
their nation-made their comrades al.
most idolize them.
These young officers were exceed
ingly anxious to see a ghost and took
great deal Of pains to plunge into
all sorts of gloomy places in the hope
Of finding them tenanted by beings
from the other world At last they
seemed to lind the orthodox old castle
with its haunted room. Everybody
bore witness to the horrible sights and
sounds nightly to be seen and heard
therein. and these young gentlemen
determined to pass the night there
1t was Christmas eve. and they pro-
vided themselves with a good supper
and bottle of wine each, n fire, lights
and loaded pistols. The hours wore
on. No ghost was seen; no ghostly
sounds were heard The younger
brother, wrapped closely In his warm
cloak. laid his head on the table and
deliberately resigned himself to a COM
Portable sleep. The elder brother,
though exceedingly weary. determined
to remain awake and await the issue
of events.
After awhile noise reused him
from reverie into which he had fall
en-. He raised his eyes and beheld the
wall opening in front of his seat
Through the opening glided a tall fig
ure in white. who signed to him to
follow.
The rose and followed the figure
through long, damp. dark passages till
they reached a large, brilliantly light
ed room where ball was going on.
Above the strains Of music and the
din Of voices pierced a strange. sharp,
clicking sound. like the notes of casta-
nets
Bewildered and dazzled by this sud-
den transition from darkness and ST.
lence to this gay festive scene, 1t was
some moments before he could COL
lect his senses, but he was shocked by
perceiving that these gayly dressed la
dies and their richly uniformed cava-
liers were skeletons, and the curious
sound that impressed him so strangely
was the clicking of feshless jawsl
The figure at his side ordered him
to take a partner from this hideous
throng, which he refused to do. Irri-
tated at this refusal. the figure raised
his arm to strike, but the officer in
stanuy leveled at him the pistol he
had continued to grasp and discharged
1t full in his face.
With the shock and report he started
to his feet. The white figure, the ball
room, the fearful. CHASTITY dancers, all
had vanished, and he was in the room
where he had supped. but his brother
lay dying at his side.
he had shot him in his dream and
awakened only to receive his last ut
terance. From that awful Christmas
night he was an altered man. All
the gayety had gone out of his life.
all the sunshine had faded from his
days, and after a few years of una
vailing anguish of remorse he found
himself unable to bear the burden
Of his regrets and put an end to his
life.

spent splendid night, according to his
ideas of enjoyment, an&Eahis morning
was brought into the police station on
charge of drunkenness. When he
was brought before Judge Miller he
sentenced him to eight days at hard
LABOR This makes the sixth appear
ance of julius in police court in the
last two months.
julius usually starts out on a general
tear about every two months, but this

Fargo to complete his pleasure which
the police interrupted last Saturday
night On Monday 1t was learned tina /;
q JOB awaited him in the vicinity of
Casselton in the harvest fields, and he
promised the authorities he would go
to work If he we're permitted to go
free. Chief Bowers and Judge Miller
took him at his word, but took the
precaLtion to see that the old fellow
was safely on the Casselton train be-
fore they yielded their power of con-
troll over him.
Julius says he did not go to work,
but II is a mystery how he got enough
money to return TO Fargo and buy his
firewater, for on Monday he had only
enough on his person to purchase
transportation to Casselton. The court
instructed the police department this
morning to put Stovener at paying
job before the expiration OF his SEN
tcnce, If work could be found for him.

gir) for his fifteenth bride, who will
share ne-fifteenth of the honor Of
being the queen of Zulu land.
True, the sultan's idea of accept
ability may be trifle captious, and
balk little at being the fifteenth wife,
but the possibilities for frenzied
finance are none the less obvious.
The Sultan's mission to America,
however, is twofold. He is a con-
sistent conserver of time and other re-
sources. He has to be, with fourteen
wives dependent upon him. He is look
ing for a fifteenth wife, but he Is just
as earnestly seeking an increase in his
pension. which is now but SIPS a
month. With fourteen heIpmeets to
divide his 1925 among, even the sultan
has some trouble making both ends
meet.
The sultan raised the $4,000 from his
ancestral estates. Wives are his ex-
travagance. He paid $4,000 for one
English girl, who lives In Singapore
His fondEess for American women
dates from the time President Taft
and his party visited Jolo. In the
party was Mrs. Nicholas Longworth,
to whom the susceptible sultan irnme-
diately proposed marriage. He gave
her beautiful burnt leather saddle
and some pearls to show his good will.
The sultan waved farewell to his
1000 subjects and started for Ameri-
ca via China more than month ago.

seeking an increase to his pension.

Speaking of Washington. Mr.. Mann
said:
Grand as he was in war, he vas
grander still in peace, and to him
above all others is due the adoption
of the constitution, which welded the
states together into that form of 60
eminent which became the pattern
Of future republics. Courteous and
courtly to all men. tender affection
characterized his intercourse with
his friends. Lafayette's heart went
out to him in hlial love; Rochanbeau
held him as a dearly beloved brother
in arms; de Grasse admired him and
was -lad to call him friend; Chastel-
lux declared him to be the greatest
and best OF all men while his own
people with one accord have proclaim
ed him First in war, first in peace,
and first in the hearts of his country
BEN
In glowing terms, Mr.. Mann referred
to Lafayette and the affectionate re-
gard in which Americans hold his
memory.
"No name in all the history of our
revolutionary period save only that of
Washington" said Mr. Mann, ais so
dear to the American people as that
of the gallant young Frenchman. who
before he reached the age of twenty
became a major general in the army
of the United States, having rendered
his services as a volunteer without
pension or allowance" Before the
constitution was adopted Lafayette
had been by Legislative act declared
citizen of Virginia the highest honor
a free state can pay any man; and
upon his death by order of the presi-
dent of the United States tie same
hcnors were rendered the nation as
had been observed on the death Of
Washington. His love for our state
was touchingly shown when he named
daughter Virginia. I am proud
to relate that when offered his choice
of commands in the continental army
he selected division, composed en-
tirely OF Virginians. 1t was he at the
head of his division of brave Virgin
ians, who drove CORVALLIS into the
untenable position at Yorktown and
held him there until the coming of
Washington and Rochambeau by land,
and of de Grasse and st. Simon by sea-
CORVALLIS had said of him, The boy
cannot escape me- but it was due to
the then and now unborn an inspira-
ton that would rebound always to
the good of the commonwealth.

that we have come in their name as
the bearers of this token of their af-
lection"
The statue was accepted in behalf
of the French government by NJ. Pin
chon, secretary of foreign affairs.
"The graciousness with which the
gift Of this statue has been received"
said Mr.. Mann, "has added to the
pleasure Virginia has felt in sending
her best loved son to stand on the soil
of France, amid the only allies of
fensive and defensive America ever
had. 1t was a beautiful thought that
prompted the people of France to place
on the right of this statue of Wash
ington the bust of Lafayette, his
most trusted lieutenant and dearest
friend, and on his left Suffren, the
gallant commander of the redoubtable
Fantasque, who dealt such telling
Blows to the British ships upon our
coast and later, by his bravery, won
for himself the high honor of being
the admiral of France. 1t is indeed
fitting that there should be placed
within the pedestal as a part of his
support the names and records of the
47.9S9 brave French soldiers who made
possible the successful termination of
the war and thereby entitled Wash
ington to stand upon that high pima
Gle of fame which history accords on
~ to the victorious. His spirit, as 1t
hovers here above his statue, must in
deed feel that he stands in the midst
of his friends"
Mr.. Mann referred to the fact that
1t was within the very walls which he
stood and where the statue had been
placed that on Sept. 3, 1873 was
signed the treaty peace between Great
Britain and the United States. This
is indeed the birthplace of our nation"
