The Old Home
And the New.

IT is the fashion nowadays to re-
gard the house-furnishings of 100
years ago with horror and to wonder
how people could have lived with such
monstrosities as horsshair chairs and
SOFAS heavy, ugly round tables, on
which solemn books radiated from the
center, as if to make them all the more
formidable, marble chimney pieces that
resembled tombs, wax flowers and
fruits under glass, stiff, heavy cur
tains at windows and on beds. wool
mats, crocheted anti acassars, and
the hundred and one other things that
seem to have been designed for tor
ture to taste rather than for comfort.
Nowadays, a house can be filled and
fitted so tastefully with everything in
the most approved up-to-date style.
making halls and rooms like pictures.
Everything, even to the daintiest little
conceits in table linens, can be bought
ready made. 1t is a marvellous adj
vanee-or really is it?
Formerly, setting UP housekeeping
was a momentous event, involving
long months and even years of prep
aration by the bride. From early girl
hood she looked forward TO this event,
with needle in hand, making quilts,
carpets. curtains and all the house
hold treasures that young wife
needs. She prepared to be long
time married.
Nowadays, people may become en-
gagged, buy a house and have it fur
nished the next day, and be married
the next and move right in. But
there is, of course. the possibility that
on the next day after they may be
divorced.
One thing the derided, stolid, jog
trot grandmothers never thought Of
doing with their plain looking homes
and tasteless furnishings was to lei
these sacred possession, for strangers
to have and to hold, while the owners
lived elsewhere-wny, the mere no.
ton would have been paralyzing.
Our grandmothers really liked te
stay indoors, to sit at their art rub
bish. to discuss it's pattern and merits
with callers of kindred spirit. Theil
very lives were woven into theil
household furnishings. The different
sort of art rubbish that litters man.
a house today has no endearing as
sociations, but is bought for next t.
nothing from some stranger, who /.
turn has hired some poor wretch fol
miserable pay to make it.
The fancy work in beads, feathers
wax, wool, silk, etc, that used to b.
turned out in such marvellous guam
titles by women may have served {
good purpose in its time, by givinl
leisured females of medium abilities
a numerous class then, as now-some
thing to do which kept their brains
and fingers busy in a harmless way
made them imagine they were doins
great things. and prevented that ennui
that yearning and burning for the un
attainable. which distinguish droveI
of nervous. idle women of today.

to suspect that some other man is in
love with her and and is giving her
presents--this is just a very, very little
short of heaven on earth.
In spite of it's manifest justice, per-
haps, a police Judge would dare TO
render such a decision nowhere but in
washington, D. c.. where the office is
appointive and not subject to the votes
of men.

ing, has been taken to Dickinson to
answer charge OF criminal assault on
woman, In district court there. Ban
croft gained a good deal of notoriety
from his name being associated with
the finding Of the body Of an unknown
man on the railway track near Dick
inson year ago.
It was a matter OF confusion Of
names. Bancroft was indicted on
charge OF criminal assault and being
regarded as a bad character 1t was
thought advisable to bring him to Bis
marck and lodge him I'm Jail here until
his hearing was reached in district
court. The court is now in session and
the sheriff came down from Dickinson
and took the man away. The Dick
inson jail is not Of such a character
that It would resist a desperate man.
The confusion Of names In connection
with the murder charge is not ex-
planned. On the body OF the aesl
man were found papers bearing rhe
name OF Garfield. An Investigation
disclosed that Garfield was alive in
Canada and an effort liz being made
TO connect him with the death. al
though no motive could be found.
Canfields name got mixed up with
that OF Bancroft and the newspapers
were full Of murder stories. All the
time Bancroft was under the watchfui
eye of Sheriff Barnes In the Bismarck
JAIL and while here he proved a model
prisoner although he had a bad repu-
tation where he is known Sheriff
Barnes took no chances with him,
however, and turned him over to the
sheriff Of Barnes county without any
regret.
In discussing matters in connection
with the Jail Sheriff Barnes says since
the present session of the district
court his official family has been re-
duced from twenty to eight. There
are now but eight inmates in the
county jail.

FEE QUESTION
Is UP AGAIN
CASE WHICH is or STATEWIDE

GERS GETTING FEEs.

Judge Engerud OF Fargo has return

been for several days attending the
hearing of the case of the county com
missioners OF Sargent county against
the county Judge. auditor, register 81
deeds and treasurer The case is one
Of the most important ever heard in
the state, because 1t has a bearing on
every county and will be carried to the
supreme court.
The purpose of the county commits
sioners Of Sargent county is to test the
construction OF the law relative to the
fees taken In by county o GERS. Sew
eral of the county officers have been
collecting fees which the commits
sioner claim belong to the county and
the officers do not take the same view
OF the matter.
The same condition prevails in al
most every county In the state, al
though the matter has never before
been brought up in the court. Ex-
county officers have also been criti-
cfsed and the outcome Of the case will

lections can be made against former
officials who have collected fees and
not turned the same to the county.
1t is presumed that If the commits
sioners Of Sargent county win out the
commissioners of the other counties
over the state viii also take the same
action against the officials. Judge AL
len, who heard the case did not render
any decision in the matter and took 1t
under advisement. No matter what
way he decides IT, the losing side i'm
the trial will carry It up higher.
States Attorney Leslie of Sargent
county conducted the case for the COM
missioners. Judge Engerud of Fargo
acted as attorney for s. A. Sweetman,
county Judge and G. H. Cooper. treas
urer. George Bangs Of Grand Forks
acted as counsel for r. F. Irving, treas
urer and e. w. Bowen of Forman was
the lawyer for d. l.. Warmer, regis

The outcome of this important case
will be watched with interest.
