THE ATHLETIC sUFFRAGETTE.
A Wonderful J~iu-Jitsu Exhibition.

A practical test Of Suftragotte ju tsu
took place the other evening between Mrs.
Garrud, an expert in the Japanese art, and
policemen. Mrs. Garrud is one Of the orga-
nisers of the vonen athletes branch Of the
Wo14eu's Freedom League, and her object
Is to make u- ijtou an additional weapon Of
Women's fight for the vote,

that Mrs. Gar2u5 could toss him over her

~'you're only a little dot Of a woman"
"Well, I'm not exactly q giant admitted

his grasp. Their hands met, and the giant
tried to pull her to him, but that was the
very last thing she intended to allow. Pull

after her. Desperately he exerted all his

His Gama Mon.

In a campaign in Kansas some years ago. when the tariff was made domi. nant issue. an old German was run. ming for county office in central Kan sas. He didn't know enough about the tariff to talk about it two minutes More than that. he didn't care much for 1t had nothing whatever to do with the office he wanted anyway. But the voters were much excited over the question and seemed to think that every candidate should be able to dis cuss the problem from A to Izzard.
 So this German and his campaign manager invented a successful subter fuge. When the German got up at the meetings to talk he would say: "Now shentlemen. will talk init you about der tariff. It is like''-
 Just then his campaign manager would interrupt: ''Why. John, you have only i've minutes to talk. You cannot do yourself justice in that length of time on the tariff."
 ''Then I won't talk about dot tariff,' '' would be Johns inevitable reply, and he would go on to teil that he wanted a certain county office. and so on. His game won, and he was elected.-Kan- sas City Journal.

Blamed the Last One,

A man who from all appearances had dined well. but not wisely, bought a ticket at the box office of a theater where farce was being produced in German. The man settled comfortably back in his seat, smiling at the pretty stage setting and evidently prepared 10 enjoy an evening of pleasant diver sion. After a time he began to look worried and leaned forward in his seat.
 ''Strangest thing ever sperienced," he muttered.
 A few minutes later he left the thea ter. At the door the ticket taker of fered him return.
 Nope; don't want it. he said as he brushed it aside. Guess that last drink went to my head. Can't under. stand blamed thing them people a-sayin'. I'm goin' home to bed-"- Philadelphia Times.

The Use of Condiments.

Tn an article on the use of condi' ments the London Lancet. the fore most British medical publication. says:
 'The classic experiments of Pawlow have shown how important is the role of the condiments in diet, how 1t is they improve appetite and increase di- gestive power. Mustard. pepper and salt. used, of course. in sensible amounts. assist the appetite, give 6 zest to food and partly by reflex action as well as local action stimulate the flow of digestive juices and insure healthy assimilation. Even vinegar is known to have a softening effect on tough fbers. and hence its use is justi. fed in so many instances"

Wheat ps.s Not Grow Wild.

The existence of names for wheat in the most ancient languages confirms the evidence of its great antiquity and of its cultivation fin the more temper ate parts of Europe, Asia and Africa
 From the evidence adduced by bota. nists of high standing it seems highly improbable that wheat has ever been found growing persistently in a wild state, although it has often been as. serted by poets, travellers and histo- rians. In the odyssey" for example
 we are told that wheat formerly grew in Sicily without the aid of man. Dio- dorus repeats the tradition that Osiris found wheat and barley growing pro- miscuously In Palestine. but neithe, this nor her reputed discoveries of wheat growing wild seem at all cred ible. seeing that it does not appear to be endowed with rhe power of per SiStency except under continued cul
 ture

Extravagant Mourning.

Pepys' diary has this on the mourn. ing customs of the time: On Sept 2, 1860. when there was mourning for King Charles brother. the Duke of Gloucester. he bought pair of short black stockings to wear over pair of silk ones for mourning" Next day ''came one from my fathers with a black cloth coat. made of my short cloak. to walk up and down in-" The problem of mourning for men must have been greater than it is now in those days. when ordinary masculine costume was less somber. On this oc. casion Pepys records seeing ''the king in purple mourning for his brother" There is one mourning extravaganza of the early eighteenth century which would scarcely commend itself-the eoles of the shoes used to be blacked.

H|GHWAYMEN HOLD
 UP THREE IN AUTO
Swing Red Lantern, and Jump Aboard as Car Slows Down,
 RevOlvers in Their Hands

Rye, N. Y, Aug. 9.-Down the Bos- ton Post Road an automobile sped at 1:3O o'clock yesterday morning on the way to New York. In it were J. w. Ramon, the owner, dealer in bookbinding material at "A Duane St., R. l.. Gilmore. a friend and MT. Ban non's chauffeur, Rudolph Wehr.
 The road was dark. When nearly opposite the home of John E. Parsons, New York lawyer, Wehr saw a man ahead waving @ red lantern. Thought of an accident and the prob Wehr's mind, and with a word over his shoulder to his employer the chauf- feur put on his brakes and slowed down as he neared the man with the lantern.
 Whats the trouble?" inquired Wehr. Some one hurt?" For response the man in the road dropped his lantern and made leap for the running board of the car, jerk ing a revolver from his pocket as he did so. At the same time another man. also armed with a revolver, stepped from behind the bushes by the roadside and leaped to the other side of the car.
 Quick! Hand over everything of
 
 want your heads blown off! Come on, now: everything one of the men called out.
 The revo1vers Of the two robbers were aimed directly at the occupants of the car, and they had firm foot ing on the running boards, so that even had the chauffeur thrown on the power he could not have got rid of the highwaymen. Convinced that there was no escape, MT. Bannon, MT. Gilmore, and the chauffeur commenc- ed to clean out their pockets. MT. Ramon, though, was watching his chance all the time, as one of the thieves reached for some of MT. Gil- mores valuables he jumped from the car.
 A leap took him into the bushes which lined the road and in the dark ness he offered no mark for the rob- bers. Both of the latter were as- founded by MT. Bannon's daring, and hastily gathering together $55 which they got from MT. Gilmore and a smaller amount taken from the chauf- feur they ordered their victims to get out of the car. Then one of them mounted to the driving seat and tried to get start. He could not manage it and gave it up. The high waymen then took to the woods them selves.
 Meantime MT. Ramon had run through the woods and fields to the home of William H. Geary, President of the Board of Education here. He rang the bell again and again and banged upon the front door until at last he aroused the household. When he was admitted MT. Ramon told his story briefly and asked to use the telephone.
 Over the wire he summoned the po- lice, and two motorcycle policemen set out instantly. They found MT. Gill more and Wehr and Ramon, who had rejoined them by this time. There was no trace of the highwaymen, how ever.
 MT. Ramon and his party continued to New York. The police are trying to get some trace of the robbers, but have met with no success as yet. Gangs of laborers are at work in sev- eral places in this vicinity and the police think that the highwaymen were foreigners employed in some of these gangs.

that Grand Forks will come with its
lodge and band in a special train. The
local committee Of arrangements for
the occasion is sparing no pains to

that has ever taken place in North
Dakota. There are prizes for the

JOHN DOYLE APPEARED ANx-

: TERTIARY, ENTERING PLEA OF
GUILTY IN DISTRICT COURT
THIS MORNING. 81. ... N

Signifying his intention OF pleading
guilty to the charge that had been pre-
ferred against him. John Doyle was
this morning arraigned before Judge
Chas. A. Pollock in the district court
where he admitted his guilt and re-
Iceived a sentence of one year in the
state penitentiary without murmur.
There was every indication that the
colored man desired to break into the
state penitentiary. He insisted that
he was guilty, despite the fact that
the court was reluctant to receive a
guilty plea unless the whole matter
was cleared up. The prisoner was
warned not to plead guilty unless he
had committed the crime with which
he was charged. He insisted that he
had pulled a knife at the time in
question and the case was disposed Of.
