LODGING IN 18TH CENTURY
Traveller st That Time Was Greatly
Benefited BY Carrying His
Own Bedding.

Often before the inn came N sirht
the traveller would see his Italian
host Sometimes the host would have

leagues to buttohhole foreigners. carry
their luggage. promise anything. and
behave with the utmost servflity-fil

says IN the Atlantic But with all this.
to expect them to provide clean sheets
was to expect too much, and as the
nation was grievonsly AFFLICTED with
the itch. II was desirable for the Wis
itor 10 carry his own bedding. In
many cases. we find the tourist sleep
ing on the table IN his clothes to
avoid the dirtiness OF the vermln OF
the bed. SIN. In Italy. as a rule. you
shared your bed with these permanent
occupants only. In Spain you we're
sure to do So one man. one bed,
was the custom there. In Germany
the custom was just the reverse: in
fact. n the tourist did not end a com
panion for himself. the host chose for
him. and his bedfeliow might be q
gentleman. or he might be a carter:
all that could safely be prophesied
about him was that when be came to
bed he would be drunk. The bed
would be one Of several In room;
the covering. a quilt warm enough to /
be too warm for summer and narrow /
enough to leave one side OF each ex-

The above letter. which was mailed
from this city Wednesday afternoon
with draft for fifty dollars enclosed
tells the story of the general senti
ment of the members of Company A
the local organization Of the National
Guard.
The money was sent to the Nation
al Guard Magazine, through which
channel it will be forwarded to Sergt
Marley, who is a member of the Ma
tional Guard of Texas.
The only dissatisfaction existing
among the local guardsmen was that
fifty dollars was all that they could
send, and they are anticipating that
every company in the state of North
Dakota will respond as generously as
they have.
The case of Sergeant Manley has
been running in the Associated Press
stories but for the general Informal
ton of those who are unfamiliar with
the case, the following article is re-
printed from the National Guard Mag
azine for December. 1910:
lie lllllS LIDS COlllc "lC4 CFClJ
tional guardsman in the United States
must take a hand in Sergeant Manley's
case. During the past month, Texas
jury Influenced by the anarchfstlc
bowling Of a yellow newspaper and
local prejudice against the national
guard, found Sergeant Manley guilty
of murder and the trial judge sentenc-
ed him to SO years in states prison.
Sergeant Manley is a victim OF the
grossest miscarriage Of justice and II
necessary his case must be carried
to the highest court in the land, but
that justice be secured.
Briefly, the story Of Sergeant Man.
ley's case is as follows:
On October 20, 1909, President Taft
visited the big state fair at Dallas,
Texas. A tremendous crowd had been
anticipated and extra precautions for
the protection of the president had
been taken. On the occasion OF the
army's military tournament in that
city shortly prior to the presidents
visit, hot bed Of dangerous anarch-
lists had been discovered-hence the
precautions for the presidents pro-
lection. Officers of the national guard
who were proficient with the revolver
were assigned to special duty around
the presidents carriage. Extraordi-
narily strenuous orders were issued
to the militia which had been called
out to do police duty. Sergeant j. d.
Manley, Company E, Third infantry OF
Dallas, was stationed at an extremely
hazardous point and he was ordered
to see that no person be allowed to
cross a certain forbidden zone. Man.
ly is careful and sober soldier and
