Shorty MeCabe,

Have you made the acquaintance OF
the latest hit in American humor-
Sewell Ford's Shorty McCabe' and
"Torchy'' stories If not, you are miss
ing a heap Of fun. Thousands of men
buy the Sunday issue of The Chicago
Record Herald Just for the laughs they
get out of this one famous feature, or
rather these two alternating features,
for Shorty and Torchy are now appear
ing on alternate Sundays. One is as
funny as the other.
Sewell Ford is a hummelshine, real
thing-and he beats George AIDE and
Mr.. Dooley in the art of telling a good
story. 1t Is genuine story every
time, with a hilariously funny plot
and with characters that are alive and
kicking.
Shorty McCabe and his better half,
Sadie, with their laughabIe adventures
in New York society, can be found and
enjoyed only in the Sunday Magazine
OF The Record Herald, whose editor
has the honor Of having discovered
Sewell Ford's powers as a humorist.
The same is true Of Torchy the red
headed office boy of merry fame. This
unique magazine is filled with good fic-
tion and timely articles every Sunday,
but nothing seems TO be able to over
shadow the perennial interest OF the
Shorty and Torchy yarns, which APP
pear in every issue throughout the
year. Wherever you go you hear peo-
pie talking and laughing over them.
1t begins to be a question whether
Shorty McCabe is not the most popu-
lar person in the United States.

CHANGE
Quit Coffee and Got We'll.

! A woman's coffee experience is inter
esting For two weeks at time I have
taken no food but skim milk, for solid
food would ferment and cause such
distress that could hardly breathe at
times, also circulating pain and
heart palpitation and all the time I
was so nervous and restless.
From childhood up had been a
coffee and tea drinker and for the
past 20 years I have been trying diff
ferent physicians but could get only
temporary relief Then / read an
article telling how some one had been
cured by leaving off coffee and drink
ing Postum and 1t seemed so pleasant
Just to read about good health de-
cided to try Postum in place of cof-
fee.
IT made the change from coffee TO
Postum and such a change there is ir
me that I don't feel like the same per-
son. We all found Postum delicious
and like 1t better than coffee. My
health now is wonderfully good.
AS soon as I made the shift from
coffee to Postum l got better and now
all of my troubles are gone. l am
fleshy, my food assimilates, the pres
sure in the chest and palpitation are
all gone, my bowels are regular, have
no more stomach trouble and my
headaches are gone. Remember did
not use medicines at adjust left off
coffee and drank Postum steadily"

menced an action for divorce from
her husband, Matthias schaeckers. a
farmer living near Foxholm. on the
grounds of cruel and inhuman treat
ment, and her petition will be heard

that her husband beat and maltreated
her, and that on one occasion when
they had trouble he chased her from
the house with table fork
Mrs. Scaeckers Is IS and her hus-
band is As. The petition also asks for
temporary alimony and the restoration
of the name of Mrs. Julia HUFF, under

of Julius HUFF, a pioneer OF the Mouse
river valley, and is well known in

cimIjott's Arabian Stations Prove
Star Feature at the state.
Fair,

BY far the most pleasing feature of
the many splendid fair attractions is
the work of CimiJottrs Arabian stall
lions. These ten equine beauties are
brilliant clever and versatile, show
ing intelligence and willingness of a
rare order. Though they act usually
over an hour. these handsome crea-
lures behaved magnificently in the
eighteen minutes given them as the
last and star attraction on the days
programme.
E. B. Cimijotti has bred these
horses from fine Arabian stock i'm
ported by his father in 1882. He has
raised and trained them on his farm
at Mason City, Ia, and has spent
years in teaching them to do their
clever stunts. At Chicago and Win
nipeg as we'll as here, the Cimitotti
act has scored successes that will
quickly spread it's fame throughout
America. This is the first year of
itinerary and 1t has certainly made
good" with rush.
At the Iowa, Wisconsin and Texas
state fairs where they are scheduled,
these animals will doubtless win
more praise. They will spend the win
ter as a special feature at the New
York HipDodrome.
This act has caught the popular fam
cy here and is winning the interested
approval of all who are fortunate
enough to witness IL.

GETS A PATENT
AFTER YEARS
GRlNNELL, WILLIAMS COUNTY
HoMEsTEADER HAS AN uN.
USUAL EXPERIENCE.

Minot, N. D., July Z7.-Henry A.
Kelly of Grinnell postoffice, williams
county, will soon receive a patent TO
a piece Of valuable land In the Grin
nell bottom which he took as q desert
claim in 1888 one OF the first desert
claims ever fled on In this section Of
the country.
Kelley's desert claim was the first
desert entry ever contested in the
United States. A contest was brought
against his land in 1888 on the ground
that IL was not a desert claim and
was not eligible TO entry under the
provisions of the desert claim act The
contest attracted attention over all the
west and was won by Kelly through
his attorney, James Johnson of Minot,
after having hearing In the landof-
fee that lasted several weeks. Con-
siderable interest was taken in thu
case at the time as 1t established a
precedent.
Kelley's attorney, James Johnson
proved that before Kelly had led on
and developed the land ii would not
raise enough grass to keep a govern
ment mule and thas It had been
brought into bearing by a system Of
irrigation first put In by the govern
ment when 1t was utilized to raise oats
for the government fort at Buford. He
showed that the irrigation apparatus
had been abandoned by the govern
ment and that his client had filed on It
and developed 1t, building up the dams
that had been allowed to lapse into
decay by the government.
In 1892 Kelly proved up on the land
and like most OF the old timers, he
paid but slight attention to the details
of his patent. For some unaccountable
reason the proof lay in the Minot land
office for two years and was not dis
covered until another man filed on the
land when 1t was sent to washington
to be patented together with the filing
application. Since that time the mat
ter has hung fire and the government
after a thorough investigation has no
titled Mr.. Johnson that Kelly's patent
will be fixed UP for his land, which he
has occupied for more than twenty
years just as soon as he forwards at
fidavits showing that he has not filed
on any other land in the meantime.
Mr.. Kelly is one of the old timers
of the northwestern section of the
state. He has a fine system Of irri-
cation on his homestead and has used
1t for years successfully. Under it he
has raised one of the finest crops in
the Grinnell valley this year.

chased WIG With Eork.

Devils Lake, N d., July 27.--A
drunken Indian boarded the $3.50 chau-
tauqua train last evening, and when
the train was about a mile from town
it became necessary to stop and put
him off. The Indian was too drunk
to know what he was doing and in
sisted upon going forward and riding
on the engine. This the engineer
strenuously objected to- The man OBJ
jected to being put off the train, and
several attempts were made to get rid
of him without using violence. The
affair was disgusting to the passeng-
gers, many Of whom were women and
children, but 1t is not likely they
thought to censure the white man who
furnished the poor devil with the whis-
key which made him crazy.

TRACK AND TIE.

c. ]. Geary, operator at Livingston
for the Northern, Pacific, came into
town last evening to see the fair.
If there were ANA travelling railroad
men in the city Yesterday they must
have all been o1tutA the fair, for not
a single one showed UP at any of the
railroad stations.
Dan Costello, the special officer of
the Northern Tactic, stationed at the
depot here says the crowd of yes
terday was one of the best he ever
saw in all of his years of experience
at tn depot. There, was not even a
single case of bad drunk, as he puts
1t, and no disorder whatever.

READY FOR THE CROWDS
The Three Railroads Coming Into Far
go Tomorrow Are Expecting to
Handle immense Groves.

Tomorrow the Northern Pacific road
will have two special trains over the
Casselton branch and 1t is expected
that an immense crowd will visit the
city at this time. The officials Of the
N. 2. state that that road pulled into
town yesterday nearly 400 people,
while the Great Northern had over
1000 and the Milwa9kee's crowd num-
bered 500, this being quite large for
this line, especially as there were no
special trains run over 1t. The Great
Northern, too, will have special trains
tomorrow, this being recognized as the
big day OF the fair. The different roads
are amply able to, accommodate all
who expect to come to Fargo tomorrow
and the balance of the week
