Braddock, Aug. 13.-Mrs. Frank
Glines leaves for Chicago today. She
takes with her the 3-year-old daughter
who about three months ago was
stricken with what is thought to be
infantile paralysis. Mrs. Glines will
take the child before the medical
class of one of Chicago's universities
for examination and treatment with
the hope that some relief may be given
the AFFECTED child. The friends of Mr..
and Mrs. Glines hope their efforts will
meet with success, and that the little
sufferer may be restored to her usual
health
Lightning started a fire on section
II, south of the Mandigo ranch, Satur-
day afternoon. BY using the telephone
the exact location of the fire was
made known and the whole neighbour
hood turned out and soon had the fire
under control. But for a small strip
of breaking Mr.. Mandigo would have
lost his hay, and had the wind not
changed suddenly to southeast, the
fire would have swept across the
school section and undoubtedly burned
the buildings on the Roop farm.
Mrs. Olaf Nelson returned from a
Bismarck hospital, where she had

GRADING DONE
ON new line

Mandan, N. D., Aug. 13.-Saturday
the last piece Of grading work on the
south line and the Cannon Ball-Mott
line was finished The contractors
have all left with their outfits and the
track laying goes merrily on. All Of
the bridges between here and Cannon
Ball have been finished, and the track
lis held up at that place owing to the
fact that the Cannon Ball bridge is not
completed.
Freight has been hauled on the line
to Cannon Ball for several weeks, al
though no schedule or passenger serv-
ice has been established. 1t is, how
ever, expected that regular schedule
will be fade by the first Of October,
when it is confidently expected that
all of the work will be finished.
In conversation with one of the con-
tractors he stated that the bridge
gang would be through with their
work between Cannon Ball and Mott
by the 18th of September, and that
the steel gangs would finish not later
than five days afterwards, which
means that Mott will be the possessor
of railroad connections on two lines
inside of three months.
The first work train was run into
Flasher on Wednesday and the day
was a general holiday in that thriving
little town. 99Y
Gangs of men are at work at the
present time ballasting the road beds
and leveling up the tracks, and 1t is
thought by men who are in position
to know that the ballasting work will
all be completed by October Is.
Regarding the north line, nothing
has been done for several weeks, and
it is thought that as soon as the south
line is finished work will be resumed
on that branch. The rails are laid as

RED CROSS SEAL IN HISTORY
War-Now an Aid in Fight
ing tuberculosis.

Red Cross Christmas seals date
back in their origin to charity
stamps" first used for the soldiers
relief funds in Boston in 1862, during
the Civil war. After the war, this
method of raising money was discon-
ttnued in this country for a genera
ton, although it found vogue in Por-
tugal, Switzerland, Australia, France,
Spain, Denmark, Norway, Russia.
Sweden and other European coun-
tries. There are now several hun
dred different types of charity stamps
used in all parts of the world
Stamps or seals were first used to
get money for the anti-tuberculosis
crusade in Norway and Sweden in
1904 After being used in these coun-
tries for three years, as a direct re-
suit of the interest of Jacob Riis in
this movement, the Delaware Anti
tuberculosis association, headed by
Miss Emily P Bissell, and the Red
Cross society of Delaware combined
in issuing tuberculosis stamp. So
successful was this campaign that
nearly $4,000 was realized, and the
next year, in 1908, the American Red
Cross was induced to issue a national
Red Cross tuberculosis stamp. From
this sale, $i350OO was realized, that
amount being almost doubled i'll 1909.
This year, for the first time the sale
is organized on a comprehensive
basis, taxing in all parts of the
Uuited States. A million for tuber,
culosis work is confidently expected.

Samuel Fessenden's Story of the Com
bination of Circumstances That
Raised Charles B. Andrews
to Chief Executive

ct is my experience" said the late
Samuel Fessenden Of Connecticut to
me some years before his death IN
1907, that in politics luck. or for
tuitous combination of circumstan ces,
very often goes farther than real abil-
ity in making a successful public ca
reer for an ambitious man."
Mr.. Fessenden spoke somewhat sad
~. He was one of those men in poll
tics for whom lucky combinations
were not made. His lifelong ambition
was to serve in the United States sem
ate, and although he was secretary to
the Republican national committee In
1884, was an intimate friend of James
G. Blaine, and aided in making sena-
tors from Connecticut and in nominal
ing successful candidates for governor,
luck invariably turned againgt him
whenever the opportunity came for
his party to elect a senator from Con-
necticut.
Nov, take the case of our supreme
court justice, Charles Andrews OF
LftcfEeld," continued the man who de-
the Lord hates a gutter wheH Man
ley deserted the Reed presidential
boom in 1896. IF there ever was a
lucky combination of circumstances,
utterly unexpected, in which Judge
Andrews or his friends had no part,
1t was the one which made him COVER
nor of Connecticut.
In 1878, when it came time for the
Republicans to hold their state con-
vention, Connecticut had aeen stead
lily Democratic for six years, and 1t
was believed by some Republicans
even that it was permanently in the
Democratic column. A good many of
our party workers were discouraged,
yet we had to make nomination for
governor, and so we sent committee
to call upon Henry C. Robinson, who
had been the Republican candidate for
governor a few years earlier, and who
had been badly defeated. But when
we asked him to lead us once more he
shock his head.
"'Oh, no, not again. he said. have

for it. l have discov cred whatever

AS a Buncher.

We is one of the most bothersome
words in the language. 1t is RESPONSE
BILE for more misunderstanding than
any other ten words put together.
An editor will start out conscienti-
ously to give his opinions. He will
begin by saying We think" meaning
himself. A latter later he will say
we meaning his advertisers. A few
lines farther down he will use the
word again, meaning the class of peo-
pie who read his paper.
Then his heart will soften and ex-
pand. He will become eloquent with
the use of ''we." meaning the whole
community or the entire human race.
Then suddenly he will bethink himself
and reflect that his is a party organ
and we" the party, is paramount
after all. Whereupon he will divest
himself of opinions in which the PEG
pie at large have no interest, or at
least no profit
All this is very confusing. The I'M
suspecting reader struggles along try
ing in vain to separate the we-goats
from the we-sheep. Sometimes that's
exactly what the editor is striving for,
and sometimes he is the most con-
fused Of all.
We was invented to conceal thought.

Nothing in my life had tainted my

me to become a criminal. I was in

to put the books away and saw all
the money there, a sudden, overwhelm-

mastered me. And I took the money,
and put it in an old valise that was
there, and went away on the mid

Can you explain how it was that l,

jeremiah Townsend, Who Robbed His
Bank of 100000 at One Grab,
Never Could Understand
Why He Did 1t.

In 1871 the country was startled
with the intelligence that the Towns
end Savings Bank of New Haven,
Conn, had been robbed at one fell
swoop of 100000 in money by its pay
ing teller, jeremiah Townsend. Then
1t was stated that this was the largest
actual grab robbery ever committed
by an os Ger of a bank, and to this
cay, so far as l have been able to
learn, this remains the case There
have beer much larger robberies by
bank officials stretching over a period
or months or years, but this was
robbery that took place in it's entirety
IN a given moment, young Townsend
grabbing all the actual money III sight,
stuf1ng it into a handbag and fleeing
abroad vita his ill-gotten treasure.
Subsequently he met a relative in a
Liverpool hotel, restored to him all
but few thousand dollars of The
money, and Foluntarily-even willing
ty-returned 10 this country, to be con-
Vlcted and sentenced to seven years in
the states prison after making prac-
tically no defense.
AS a resident of New Haven, had
come to know young Townsend quite
well during the three years preceding
the robbery, and in common with all
who knew him, / was unable to ac-
count for his act He was without
any bad habits or associates; he was
a regular attendant at church, an
active worker in the Y. M. c. A and
Ia the Sunday school-in short. in
every way his department was that
Of a young man Of high character and
the utmost integrity. And as we thus
reviewed his life we could find no an
swer to the question: why did he
do it?" And almost seven years later,
however, Jerry Townsend himself
answered the question for me.
AT that time I was paying a visit to
the states prison. The warden learn
ed that l knew Townsend and volun-
teered to let me see him. Awaiting
myself of the opportunity, I found my
old friend and acquaintance in the ca

that we can turn to-" Well, in Amos
R. Treat of Bridgeport we had had for
years a steady though unsuccessful
candidate for the gubernatorial nom

suggested that we turn to Mr.. Treat

it was discovered that the little Itch
