trickster, mixes little fire eating with
his act and jumbles the entire outfit
up into one of the most acceptable Of

Tho Clever Shoe CIerk.

At the cost of considerable time and

bound to protect its goods. On rainy
day woman wearing wet shoes went
in to buy rubbers. The clerk meas.
ured the width and length Of her
shoes, removed them and brought a
new pair Of the same size to try on.

the rubbers over. 1t soils the inside
Of rubber to slip it on over a wet

The arrest of the former state treas

treasurers' office has been subject Of
frequent and interested comment in the
past day or SO, and about the plainest
lesson from the whole. transaction is
that the laws of the state providing
for the safeguarding the state funds are
based upon sound sense and wisdom and
that the official who even temporarily
disregards the plain letter of the law

Tor several weeks, finally eliminating

one but feels regret that it is ever ne
cessary to bring criminal prosecution
against an official who is charged witt,

the whole matter is indicative of the
necessity OF strict obedience of the law,
If difficulty and trouble is to be avoided.

the funds are to be deposited are Of
flclally designated, are protected BY
bonds, and once the treasurer has de-
posted his funds in these banks in a
lawful manner his responsibility ends.

may throw some light upon further

should be safeguarded, and if any fur

Whether the state loses anything by
the transactions which have led to the

Curious Lighthouse Of the Republic Of
San Salvador.
The republic Of San Salvador, on the
Pacific side Of Central America. is the
only government on earth that collects
lighthouse fees on account of vol.

The volcanic beacon is about eight
miles inland from the port Of Acajutla
and its pillar Of cloud by day and its
tire sky night are visible for many
miles out at sea. 1t erupts every seven
minutes and is just as accurate as any
revolving light that warns mariners in
any part Of the world. This volcano
has been keeping up this seven min

one can remember. 1t is favorite

by the hour during the lazy afternoons

until they tire Of the amusement and

out that is sufficient excuse for the
government of Salvador to make
charge for its services. The explosions
that accompany the eruptions sound
like dctonations Of heavy charges of
dynamite, but are not sufficient to
shake the ground perceptibly more
than mile or two from the summit of
the crater. At night there is squirt of

affiliated organizations:
Bismarck, N. D., Jan. Is, III.
Dear Madam:
At the meeting of the State Fed
Grafton held in Bismarck, Oct. lila
1910, it was suggested that the leg

to select a topic for special study
for the ensuing year.
The topics mentioned are as fol
lows:
Charitable institutions.
Child labor laws.
Compulsory education.
Conservation.
Juvenile courts.
Laws for women.
Library extension.
Reformatory institutions.
If the clubs will vote upon sub.
ject for first choice, the legislative
committee will see what material can
be procured for study and forward it
free of expense to the clubs.
Each club will then decide what
use to make of the material received.
1t may be circulated for home read

member as a contribution to a pro-
gram, or an entire session spent in
comparative study of the legislation
of various states on that topic
If your club is willing to cooper
ate in this effort to interest the
women of the state in an undertake
ing of our laws and their practical
workings, will you please return the
enclosed list with your first, second

next vote is taken.
Please give this immediate atten-
ton so that beginning may be made
during this club year, if possible.
1t is hoped to have special reports
at declarations of the subject chosen
for the year and if this course is fol-
lowed the clubs will acquire a foun-
dation of accurate knowledge which
will enable their members to find
pleasure and profit in assisting in
the formation of sentiment for the
enforcement of local laws and in fol-
lowing the developments of legisla-

The newspapers of the state will get
copies of the Legislative bills and jour

provided for this and the senate made
the same provision yesterday, when
Senator diversion presented resolution

the state who have been accustomed
to have the bills and journals on file,

Somewhat unexpected was the very


rapid disposition by the house of rep
resentatives Of the senate concurrent
resolution providing for an investiga
ton into the affairs of the state game
board of control. The resolution
made a special order for 3 O'Clock
yesterday afternoon, was concurred II
by the lower house in less than f1vt
minutes after Speaker Hanley hat
announced that the time had arrived
for consideration of the same.
Immediately the resolution hat
been read Mr. Homes of Divide
made a motion that the same be con
Cured in. He said that the repor
of the state game and fish commits
sion, which he had before him, failet
to show the expenditures. of the
board to his own satisfaction, ant
that was one of the reasons he ad
vanced in favor of the adoption o.
the resolution. He also stated thai
the reports of alleged misuse of the
states funds by the board were Of
such a nature as to make an inves
tigation advisable. and if anybody
was guilty Of wrongdoing. to let IL
be known, at the same time exoner
ating those who are innocent.
With Mr.. Homes remarks con.
cluded. the question was called for
and when put, there was a unani'
nous vote.
The laugh, evidently, was on the
senate, as that body had taken a re-
cess a few moments before O'clock
just to have an opportunity of hear.
ing the expected excitement in the
house, as the members of the upper
house had anticipated that there
would be a goodly amount of oratory
in connection with the consideration
of the resolution.
AS house members of the commit.
tee to conclude the investigation,
Speaker Hanley appointed Messrs.
Frame, DISCARD of Nelson, Brusletten
and Benson.

business of this office have been con-
1ucted during said period be thor
