M|N0T MAN GETS
!. COLD MEDAL
First Time That Magic CITY Has BEN
Represented At Poultry Show The
Exhibitor Carried or Big Prize
Other Winners.

The lMinot men who exhibited
poultry at the North Dakota Poultry
show and dogs at the North Dakota
Kennel show, at Fargo, came home
loaded W. tn blue ribbons, gold medals
and it lay with one of our citizens.
E. S. Person, to bring back the silver
cup, for the highest scoring pen IN
the whole show, all varieties compel
ing.
Major Person is a poultry fancier OF
considerable repute. For many years
while q resident of Minnesota, he was
in the habit of walking away with
blue ribbons. In those days, Wulte
Wyondottes were his favorite, but he
considers that those birds require
100 much attention for exhibiting pu.-
poses. The past few years ne has
been connning himself to the raising
OF the famous Rhode Island Reds, q
strain that IL comparatively new
among fanciers.
Mr.. Person sent sixteen Of those
birds to the exhibit at Fargo and Sc
sured five firsts, four seconds, and
two fourths, besides special for the
best display, the silver cup for the
highest scoring pen. and the grand
prize, q gold medal given by the
American Poultry association for the
highest scoring cockerel. The Ian
was the most coveted premium of the
entire show.
He received a silver medal for the
highest scoring bird, a pullet scor-
ing SO 1 2. The entire pen scored
an average of over 80.
The silver cup given by the Com
mercial club of Fargo, Is a beauty
and has Mr.. Persons name engraved
upon it. The cup stands nine inches
high. -.
The Rhode Island Reds have not
reached their perfection by any means
and Mr.. Person is confident that he
can raise some better birds than
those he exhibited at Fargo.
Hundreds of people are anxious te
get some of these birds, and Mr.
Person received many advance orders
for eggs, which he may not be ablt
to Ill completely the coming season
An amusing thing about the show
was the fact that a North Dakota
man bought the prize winning cock
erel at the Minnesota show. payint
$500 for the bird. Mr.. Persons cock
erel received first place and tn
Minnesota bird second.
Mr.. Person exhibited Rosebud"
Red Cockerel. Spaniel at the Kenne
show. The dog took four firsts in tn
novice, limit, open and winner
classes. His other Cocker, Jim
took first in the novice, and seoon'
in the other three classes.

Mental Changes of the Fiery cersican
Shown by His chiresraPhy.
Interesting and exhaustive studies
have been made in France Of Ma
poleon's chirography. When young
man Napoleon did not have a bad
hand, although, like some other great
men, he could never learn to spell.
When he was an artillery officer his
writing was simple and legible. as his
life was simple and direct But when
the Corsican Captain Bonaparte dis
tinguished himself at the siege of Tou-
lon and became the French General
Bonaparte his writing took on what
has been called "a furious illegibility."
Curiously enough. from that time
there seems to have been a gradual
degeneration until. profoundly discour-
aged and utterly Inundated, he
scratched an undecipherable, mis-
spelled scrawl of submission to the
prince regent on July ID, 1915.
1t is said that this change from
simple to confused writing began at
a certain date-namely, with report.
skillfully garbled. of the part he took
in what Carlyle called the "whiff of
grapeshot that spoke from the steps of
St Roch on the 18th Vendemaire"
(Oct. 8, 1795).
The eliminating eccentricity of his
tortuous strokes Of the pen was exhib-
tied in the letter p. This showed plain
ly the mental changes of the man who
would unhesitatingly declare war
against the first conner, who would d.
vorce the wife he loved, who would
propose a kingdom Of Haiti for Louis
XVIII. who would freeze nearly a
million men upon the steppes Of Rus

and abnormal form. 1t was excessive

great general used this extravagant

cusing letter, especially noticeable In

The question of tax reform at
Madison, however it may be dis
cusse6, resolves itself eventually In
to the fact that the state needs the
money. The Legislators are not at
ali particular how it gets it so long
as i t doesn't promise to make them
unpopular. 1t simply emphasizes a
condition which is as old as organ
lied government itself. You can tax a
citizen by indirection to the very
bone and he may rize up and call
you blessed, but beware how you
tax him if you levy it so that be
knows what he is paying. Thus it
comes that we tax public.service
corporations and life insurance
companies to the limit and congratu-
late ourselves that we've solved the
problem. --Milwaukee Journal,

NEW Y0Rk's AARB6R.
The Great Upper Bay Which Lies Just
Above the Narrows.

The Great Upper Bay Which Lies Just
Above the Narrows.
New York harbor is divided by
the Narrows, that channel passage
between Staten Island and Brook
lyn, into two bays, the upper and
lower, much like a huge dumbbell,
save that the lower bay is the
larger, extending south from quar-
antine to Sandy Hook, west to Rar-
itan bay and merging eastward with
the open Atlantic. The great vol
ume of the Hudson, pouring past
Manhattan Island, through the up
per bay and the Narrows, deposits
its load Of soil in this lower bay,
where red buoys mark the difficult
channel and the larger liners some
times 60 aground in the fog. 1t is
seventeen miles as the crow flies
from the New York city hall to
Sandy Hook light. It is only six
miles to st. George Staten Island,
which marks the head of the Mar
rows.
The upper bay, or the harbor
proper, is thus far removed from
The open sea. 1t is almost a lake,
some five miles on either diameter,
made by the confluence of the Hud-
son and East rivers. Within its
area and in the rivers on either side
of that long, narrow strip of divid-
ing rock called Manhattan Island,
half the water commerce of a con-
tinent is conducted, and over it on
ferryboats or under it in steel and
concrete tubes daily pass SO many
thousands of people that the head
is dizzy reckoning their number.
At the head of it rises that An
dean range of skyscrapers on the
southern nose of Manhattan, mans
mightiest material accomplishment
since the pyramids. Over it drifts
the smoke from myriad chimneys
ON the shore, a myriad tunnels on
the water. Yet the sea fog works
up through the Narrows with the
smell of brine; a coast schooner
beats in under dirty canvas, with a
broken wing, perhaps, from some
wild gale off Hatteras; the brilliant
sun flashes from a CULTS breast and
the steel gray, dancing waves-and
fhe call of the deep comes over you.
Your eye and your heart follow
that steamer dropping down chan
mel with the tide. You feel, as the
wash of the liner gently jiggles your
ferryboat, the heaye and swing of
the long Atlantic rollers.-Walter
Prichard Eaton in Scribner's Mag
azine.

Entered at the post-of1ce at Washburn
Wisconsin. as second-class mail matter.

SOME little surprise was caused on
Monday by the action of the License
Committee of the council in recon-
mending that the applications of four
local men for saloon licenses be re-
jected. The objections have not been
made public but the committee will
likely cite their objections when the
matter comes up before the council
tonight. 1t has been known for a
week or more that there would be
objections against one or two of those
asking for licenses but it was not
thought that the order would be SO
far reaching.
Many of the men who are engaged
in the business in this city are citi-
zens who believe in running their
places in an orderly manner and in
accordance with law and the wishes
of the people. On the other hand
there has been one or two places
where they have violated the law in
many instances by selling liquor to
minors, persons on the black list, and
by harboring women, and the sooner
that these places are put out of bust
ness the better it will be for all con-
cerned. One or two of the saloons
in the city have had rather bad
reputation and if the objections of the
council committee have not been far
reaching enough the council should
go deeper into the matter.
The power all rests with the coun-
ell whether we shall have men in the
business who will run orderly places
or whether we have places that are
always causing more or less trouble.
Now is the time to learn this before
issuing new licenses.

GRABBED A HANDFUL.

upon Tue counter. GRABBED HANDFUL.
After filing the
glass to the brim the man laid down 8
cents.
"You have made a mistake; those are
not nickels, but pennies" admOnished
the bartender
Excuse me; my mistake" respond
ed the tramp. Then he added:
well, since they are there, I'll just
bet you the three pennies against
dime that l can drink the whisky
without touching the glass;"
The bartender, little amused, ac-
cepted the proposition and the wager
was on. Much to the surprise OF the
wine clerk" the fellow deliberately
picked up the glass and drank down
the liquor in one gulp.
"Hold on, pard; you lose," called the
barkeep.
II know 1t. The three cents are on
