DIPLOMATIC.

Ambassador Jusserand, at one of
his dinners at the French embassy
in Washington, said of diplomacy :
Diplomacy may be defined as way
out-an easy, pleasant, honorable
way out. A young royalist duke,
from a story current about him, is
well versed in diplomacy. This
young man visited a millionaire in
Cannes during the Riviera season,
and his hosts daughter was thrown
at his head-so much so, in fact.
that when he came to leave Cannes
his hostess took him aside and de-
clared gravely; It's reported all over
that you are TO marry Claire. !
don't know what to say to people,
The duke smiled easily. ooh, just
tell them, he said, that Claire re
fused me-"

MEASURING RAINDRoPs.

The simplest method yet devised
to ascertain the size of raindrops is
as follows: The drops are allowed
to fall into a layer of dry -four one
inch in depth, which is exposed to
the rain for a few seconds only.
The flour is then set aside until the
pellets of dough formed by the drops
have hardened sufficiently to be
picked out. Experiments with meas
ured drops of water falling into the
flour have proved that the pellets
differ little in size from the drops
that produce them. The largest
drops yet tested by a prominent
scientist somewhat exceeded one
fifth of an inch in diameter; but
most Of them were much smaller.
The size varies with the kind of
clouds from which the rain falls.

CAT BEAT HIM BACK.

The grayness Of evening wa,
creeping over the little suburb. Far
away the shrill voices of newspaper
boys could be heard calling the 6 80
editions and the moon cast its pale
beams on the worried woman who
stood anxiously leaning over her gar

band has got to-" she remarked to a
neighbor. "He went out nearly three
hours ago with our cat, a bag, two
bricks and the clothesline. He was
going to the river to drown the cat.
Oh, what can have happened to
him?"
Don't worry, DEAR" said the SYM
pathetic neighbor. Cats take an
awful time to drown, you know"
"But it can't be that keeping
him." sobbed the discouraged wife,
because the cat came back more
than an hour go."-Tit-Bits.

HARLAN,s STOCK OF TOBACCO
inquiry About Lack Of Good
"chewIna" Brings to Him an
Enormous supply.

When the argument in the case TO
dissolve the tobacco trust was taking
place before the Supreme court re-
Gently and the attorney for the de-
Tense was waxing hot in his oral
plea, Justice Harlan remembered
that his quality of plug had not
been up to the standard for some
time and he halted the eloquent adj
vocate to ask: bfh gss..l ~.
l "why is il we can't get any good
chewing tobacco in this country any
more?"
The attorney was startled. He was
not familiar with that phase Of the
tobacco business and he couldn't
answer the question. go naa
Justice Hsrlan's interrogatory got
into the newspapers and it was pub
lished all over the country that the
venerable jurist was unable to get
any plug to his liking. on q
Then something happened. To-
bacco by the plug, the caddy and the
half barrel began to come to, the JUS
tice from admiring friends, and the
shipments Of tobacco have continued
until he has a supply that will last
him all his life If he lives to be 4
centenarian. wrF
Justice Harlan is very fond Of tho
weed" While the court is in ses-
sion his hand frequently slips under
his sable robe to his hip pocket and
comes back with a generous hunk Of
tobacco, and he does his best work
under the inspiration Of a good chew.

the room clerk of an uptown hotel,

''But why go to the dentist ?"
asked the room clerk. "Your teeth

"Sure, but l need a certificate
from the dentist to account for my
absence"

he was used to the wicked ways Of
the world, was quite overcome.-New

The idea is steadily gaining
ground in American cities Of group

cordance with some definite plan
which. when realized, shall have a
marked effect upon the beauty as
well as the convenience Of the COM
munity. Springfield and New Hs-

Office authorized BY congress last
winter will be located on the site Of
the old Tontine hotel, facing the
beautiful green. This building, with
the new public library, the new
court house and the city hall, will
give the city civic center Of strik-
ing distinction. 1t will be necessary
to remove the Second National bank
building, which was erected only a
few years ago, but even this sacri-
fee will be well worth while in con-
sideration Of the result to be secured.

News Of the Week From varL
Gus Parts Of the State.
EXPENSE OF CowAN TRIAL
Legislature Made No Provision to Pay
the Costs Of IT, lmpeach-
,r9Cnt Proces dings.

So many features enter into the
parchment trial that will open March
Is that it remains the chief topic Of
interest in the state of North Dakota
at the present time. One of the new
questions that have been brought up
in connection with 1t is that of expense
Just what method the state will adopt
in making provision for the payment
of the Impeachment trial appears hazy
at the present time.
No appropriation was made at the
time the legislative assembly came to
close, March 3, to take care of the
impeachment expenses. The question
a. to how these expenses will be
cared for includes, among other plans,
the making of an appropriation by the
assembly at the time the trial opens,
- the legislature has not in reality
adjourned, having only taken recess
till March g.
Recently there arose the question
whether the governor, in failing to
sign or veto bills within three days
after the time of the assembly recess,
had lost his power to veto, as the con-
stitution provides only three days in
which that power may be exercised,
ut the end of which time the bills
would become laws without his sigma
ture. That is the situation existing
while the legislative assembly is in
session. The point that would be
raised in this connection is that the
legislature is, in reality, in session.
The other contention raised is that
while the assembly did only take a re-
cess it had lost the power of doing
any further legislative work.
Should it be decided that the legis-
lature still has the power to appropri-
ate money for the impeachment trial
expenses then the other question OF
the veto would be raised and become
operative.
At an angle the situation is viewed
L appears complicated and there
doubtless will be much discussion OF
the question by the senate, when 1t
leconvenes. as to the plan Of action
that must be taken.

BURKE vETOES FIVE BILLS
Governor of North Dakota Uses Axe
on legislative Measures.

on Legislative "SdBuTSSs
Governor Burke vetoed the primary
election bill, which provided for the
election of candidates for election by
popular vote and relating to their
nomination. The features of the bill
related particularly to the percentage
of votes required to nominate can
didates.
Among the other bills which fell
under the governors veto axe were
the duplicate house bill providing for
the sl47,000 appropriation for the
state university at Grand Forks and
H. B. AS, which is the duplicate house
bill providing for the appropriation
for a state hospital for the insane at
Jamestown.
The DISCARD bill, the famous con-
g1essional 9pportionment bill over
which there was three days dead
lock at the close of the session, was
another vetoed.
Another bill killed was H. B. 293,
which would have appropriated $15,-
900 out of the capital building fund for
the extension of the State street rail-
way line to the penitentiary. The
bill was vetoed on the ground that it
was unconstitutional and the governor
explained his action in a 5000 word
VITO message.
