How 20 transform a mouth that looks
like a kuothole in the board fence around
the bali park into hcauutul pair OF
Cupid's bow lips was demonstrated by
Harry Boyd Brown saturday morning in
Judge Sutton's court before the jury that
is hearing Mrs. Lillian BELLS S5,Mo libel
suit AGAINST brown. J, W. Elwood and
the Madame Josephine Boyd beauty cul-
ture system.
This and the testimony OF Miss May
Dinecn, cigar girl at the Her Grand hotel,
that Brown offered her 81 FOR her time

the feature Of saturday mornings sit
ting
To combat tho testimony OF the prose-
cutiou that no one connected with the
Boyd system was competent to instruct
on beauty culture Brown took the stand
ana declared himself an expert Tor half
an hour Brown worked MS hands IN
demonstration Of the various movements
employed, he said in makinc Cupd's bow
lips. As he worked he explained Just
how, IN his opinion, the movements would
produce the desired results,

Miss Dncen had refused to come into
court unless subpoenaed and came finally
as an unwilling witness. Cross-oNamlncd,
she said Brown came up to her cigar
counter, bought cigar, smiled little
and asked her IL she wanted to make
some easy money. She said she told
him she guessed II there were any easy

The testimony OF Miss Dneen which
Brown desired was to the effect that
she saw Mr.. Brown show Mrs. Bell
proof sheets of the pamphlets In which the
Boyd system used her picture and Mrs.
Bell made no objection. Miss Dineen said
| she saw Brown show Mrs. Bell some
paper with her picture on It, but she
didn't know what tho paper was and
didn't hear any OF the conversation be-
! tween Mrs. Bell and brown.

up that is better, and that isn't
this reciprocity idea by any
means.
/ don't believe that at this
time any one is SO foolish as to
endeavor to force the farmers
to accept this reciprocity idea,
and don't believe either that
at this time it will be CON
summated.
There is one sure thing, if
it does, it will be the means of
bringing the farmers closer
together. There never was a
time when the farmers were
better read than now, and they
are talking it over among
themselves.

am bitterly opposed to this

Stau0 Snow.

In personal "reminiscences Of Heb.
ry Irving" Bran Stoker lets his read
ers into the secret Of how the snow
scene in 1.-THE Corsican Brothers, was
made so effective:
Gall over the stage was thick blan.
ket of snow, white and glistening in
the winter sunrise-snow that lay So
thick that when the duelists, stripped
and armed, stood face to face they
each secured firmer foothold by
clearing it away. OF many wonderful
effects this snow was perhaps the
strongest and most impressive Of real
ity. The public could never imagine
how 1t was done. 1t was salt-common
coarse salt-which was white in the
appointed light and glistened like real
snow. There were tons of it. A crowd
Of men stood ready In the wings with
little baggage trucks such as are now
used In the corridors Of great hotels,
silent with rubber wheels. On them
were great wide mouthed sacks full Of
salt. When the signal came they rush
ed In on all sides, each to his appoint.
ed spot, and tumbled out his load,
spreading 1t evenly with great wide
6laded wooden shovels."

FAvoRs TERMINAL BILL
Senate Passed Proposed Amendment
by Vote OF 36 to d.

The feature of the session of
the state senate Monday was
the debate on the amendment
to the state constitution giving g
the state the right to erect,
maintain and operate terminal
elevators in Minnesota and
Wisconsin. The amendment
has passed one session of the
Legislature, and if it passes
this session will be put on the
ballot at the next general elec-
ton. There is considerable de.
bate on the matter, those in
favor of the amendment being
led by Senator Mcdowell, and
the opposition led by Gunder-
son. The amendment was
adopted by a vote of 36 to 4
upon final consideration.
! Senator Cashel, during the
debate, related the experience
5of the committee that was. ap-
ipointed at the last session to
tinyestigate affairs in regard to
the treatment accorded :. the
grain shippers of this state at
Minneapolis and Superior, and
it was his opinion that under
the existing circumstances, the
grain growers Of the state
were losing about 81, 100000 a
year in grain, dockage and I'M,
spection.
! Senator Gilbert thought that
the passage of the amendment
would have a good moral
effect upon, the terminal. eleva-
tor men in that it would be a
club held. over their heads if
the state had the right, to go
ahead and build or lease an
elevator and he believed that
the action of the state in
adopting the amendment would
be a good thing. A large part
of the time of the senate was
taken up with this measure.

Equity President Opposes Reciprocity.

+. H. Squire, president of
the North Dakota American
Society of Equity, is bitterly
opposed to the reciprocity idea.
1t is a. generally conceded
fact" said he to reporter for
the Fargo Forum, that the
price of wheat is to be lowered.
This, according to those favor
ing the reciprocity idea is to
give US cheaper living. In
fact, that is the sole excuse
that is given for the reciprocity
proposition.
The agitators are nearly all
millers or representatives of
corporations who are living off
the profits Of wheat and other
grains as middlemen, or of
what is made between the pro-
ducer and the consumer.
MY idea is to take the duty
off other articles. such as wool
en- goods, the prices for which
are nearly if not quite twice as
high in this country as across
the line. :
THE few cents taken off
wheat would mean just that
much more for the middlemen.
In the days when wheat was
selling for 45 cents there was
practically no difference in the
price Of bread. The loaf was
then 10 cents and the half loaf
5 cents, just as it is to this
day, so that really the poor
man-and he is the one who
buys the loaf-had to pay just
the same for his bread when
wheat was selling at 45 cents
as he does today with it selling
at 81. .--..
THE farmers are not per-
fectly satisfied with the present
tariff because of the drawback
provision, and by this l mean
the fact that the government
permits Canadians to ship
wheat through the United
States free of duty by the Civ
ing of a bond, the bond being
a surety that none of the wheat
shall be sold in the Udited
States. The understanding is
that it shall be shipped through
either before or after milling,
and who can tell just how
vigorously is the law obeyed?
Certainly the farmers of the
northwest have no means of
finding out. III
The farmers believe the
present tariff is a step in the
right direction and they mean
to stick to it as long as they
can until something else turns
