ON CHEWING THE CUD
A Lay SermOnette For GOOd-Lsok-
ing Young Ladies

An awful warning to the whole tribe Of
Gum Chswersl
A young woman Of this town, who
shall be nameless, devotee to this sense.
less habit Of chewing gum. went to sleep
the other day with her cud in her mouth
instead Of sticking it on the head-board
as usual, and presently woke up gaspinR
for breath-her cud had slipped down her
throat, and was in fair way to land her
in Kingdom come, when, scared two
shades whittier than usual, she hurriedly
hunted up one of our leading doctors,
who after a deal Of fishing With pair Of
crooked nipper tongs and d~other things,
finally managed to get q sinch on the
sticky stuff and pull it out.
Now since young ladies do not belong
TO that order of mammals known as the
Ruminantia, which includes the camel,
the sheepand the COW &C., we cannot see
any reason Why they should initiate these
herbivervous animals, which having
four stomachs and have need TO chew the
cud.
There are several reasons Why the
practice is not good one.
1st. Il stimulates the salivafy glands
in the mouth and thereby causes an ex.
cessive flow Of saliva, thus robbing its
stores which are needed in digestion to
convert the starches of the food into grape
sugar and dextrine.
1t is better for young man than the
tobacco quid, but why must either be
used? Mere habit.
I'd. It is not beautiful operation, this
everlasting chsw, chaw, chaw. 1t is too
absurdly like an old COW chewing her cud
to see pair Of human jaws, hour after
hour, solemnly mnnching gum quidl If
we may be pardoned the pun it is surely
"quid without quo."
81. This reason will appeal to all young
ladies who care a fig about their good
looks. This constant working of the jaws
tends to sover-devolop the misseter mus
cIes-Which move the lower iaw-thus
destroying the symmetry of the face, Civ
ing the chin and lower face heavy look,
peculiarly ugly in young woman.
Finally, young ladies, il is just possible
that the young man may mistake your big
muscular looking jaw for that OF scold-
and fearful of its future use, withhold the
fateful question.

GLANDERED HORSE
CASE in COURT
MAN IS ACCUSED OF TRANS,
PORTING GLANDERED HORSES
THROUGH NORTH DAKOTA IN
VIOLATION OF LAWS REGARD
ING INTERSTATE COMMERCE.

The attention of the u. S. court to-
day was taken Aup with the case CT the
government against A. E. Leavitt of
Langford, S. D., who is charged with
violation of the laws regarding inter-
state commerce.
1t is alleged that Leavitt purchased
five glandered horses in the state Of
Montana and drove them over into
North Dakota. From here he shipped
the animals into South Dakota and it
is said he sold glandered horses in
that state, although such allegation
has nothing to do with the case now
in court m
LeaVitt has twice before been in the
South Dakota court on the charge of
harboring and disposing of glandered
horses. Once he was convicted and
fined by the court and on the second
occasion he was again convicted, but
sentence has not yet been passed upon
him because of the fact that the pre-
siding judge in Marshal county, S. D.,
is now ILL He is now out on bail.
M. A. Hildreth is defending Leavitt
and Edward Bngerud, u. S. district
attorney, is conducting the case for
the government. 1t is expected that the
case will be finished today and go tC
the jury late this afternoon. Much
of the testimony that has been offered
has been Of technical character relat-
ing to disease and other points regard
ing the equines in question.

HORSE BACK RIDE
FATAL TO YOUTH
TRAGIC DEATH OF MERLE DEWITT
or LISBON AT LOCAL HOSPITAL
CAUSED BY RIDING FRACTIONS
sTEED-THE BODY WAS SHIP
PED TO-DAY.

The tragic and untimely death OF
Merle Dewitt Of Lisbon, was caused by
bareback ride on a fractions steed,
wednesday morning, and death came
almost within twenty-four hours. The
deceased was only a mere lad, not
quite 81 years years old, and son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew Dewitt, well
known residents of Ransom county.
Young Deavitt had gone out in a
pasture to catch a horse which had
been turned out to Craze for several
months. The animal had been a fam
lily pet and had a reputation for its
tameness, though at times was trifle
skittish, though not unconquerably
so.
On Wednesday afternoon when the
deceased went into the pasture he at
tempted to catch the horse without
either bride or halter. The lad sue
ceeded in jumping onto the horses
back, and after a short gallop across
the field at full speed, he was thrown
off over the horses head.
At first the boy was unable to move
and when picked up, It was found his
spinal column had been seriously in
jured in the fall. He was removed at
once to Fargo where he was taken
to local hospital. But the injury was
such that recovery was impossible,
and the lad passed away early last
evening.
Undertaken Dougherty prepared the
body for burial and shipped the re-
mains today back to Lisbon where the
funeral services will be held.

and the fact that many OF the parties
in the case were prominent in Sar-
gent county, where the affairs incident
to the trial took place.

guilty to selling liquor on an Indian
reservation with a license, was sem
fenced to serve sixty days in the jail

SOME FEED.

There was another entertainment at
the Bungalow club last night. A roast
pig headed the procession and the
finish was a mammoth strawberry
shortcake. There were a lot of good
things between. The musical concert
following the feast was conducted by
the great impressario, Herr Riley, re-
Gently from Germany. One of the
features of the eatfest was the posi-
tive refusal Of Finn Leech to accept
any more Hood river shortcake-un-
less he was permitted to jump down
stairs a few times. Sam Crabbe looked
so fat afterwards that an acquaintance
mistook him for Finn.
