cossack and Saint.

A Paris contemporary by way OF
illustration as to how some persons
discharge their religious obligations
relates story OF Cossack who was
overtaken by terrible storm OF
thunder and lightning. In his terror
he prayed to the saint to save him and
promised If only he once more
reached his home he would sell his
horse and the proceeds should be
spent in candles in honor of the Saint
The saint. pleased with so generous
an offer, stayed the storm and the
COssack reached home in safety.
This Ia how he discharged his VOW:
The next day he went to the market
with cock and horse. His method
Of sale was this: He would only sell
the two together. the horse at 30
kopecks tabout Is pence) and the cocs
at 200 rubles (about e20). After q
time the Cossack found a purchaser
on these terms and faithful to his
vow the Cossack devoted is pence to
the purchase Of candles for the altar
Of his patron saint.

evening Grain letter.

Chicago. Ill. Nov. 22.-wheat-
Opening prices were steady and the
market. in the main, ruled firm
throughout the day, with small price
changes There was some covering
early by local shorts. There was
nothing distinctively characteristic In
the trade. The December delivery has
been under more or less pressure dur
ing the session, Offering seeming chief
" from houses who frequently act for
leading longs. The comparative weak
ness in this delivery has had tend
encv TO cause more or less bearish
feeling and short selling in the May
The market cannot be called a weak
one, however, and we very much pre-
fer the long side on weak spots.

MADE $40 FOR
TWO HOURS WORK
UNAssuMlNe FARMER WOMAN
oUT7Ip MAN WHO WANTED
GOVERNMENT LAND - AFTER
THE SALE THERE WAS A QUICK
BARGAIN BETWEEN THE TWO.

A check for $40 for ABOUT two hours
work, is not bad nnanciering for a very
unassuming farmers wife and yet that
is just what one made at the state
land sale at the courthouse in Moor
head this morning. She was Mrs.
Laura B. Davis. who was the bidder
for q tract OF forty acres, southeast
quarter of the northeast quarter, s.
127-45, appraised by the state board
last spring at $12 an acre. She was
one of two bidders. the other being a
farmer who owned land adjoining and
both seemed eager to get possession
of the piece. The farmer seemed shy
about opposing lady and he WINGED
at one OF two good natured taunts
which were fiunx at him by his neigh
bors, but he retorted that It was q
matter Of business and he presumed
that the lady looked at the matter
in the same philosophical way.
The bidding started at t12.60 and
advanced rs cents bid until SIS
per acre was bid by the man. The
two bidders eyed each other, and II
was Just as the auctioneer was about
to say third and last time" the lady
piped out S15.25 and 1t was knocked
down to her. At the conclusion Of the
sale the farmer and Mrs Davis moved
to a seat. of In one corner OF the
courtroom, where they entered into
an earnest discussion about the land
with the result that she sold the tract
to the farmer for ST. an acre, making
for herself $40 for her mornings work
The sale was held as per announce
ment and was conducted by Theodo-e
Nelson, a deputy for the state auditor.
Mr.. Nelson in explaining certain feat
ures of the sale said that the offerings
in this county were Of lands which
had been sold before but payments had
become delinquent long time ago
and reappraisement was made Last
spring or the TOO acres offered 400
acres were sold today. Yesterday Mr..
Nelson. at Crookston, sold 400 acres
at an average price Of s10-2T per acre,
very good sale he considered Mr..
Nelson left this afternoon for Bagley.

BELIEVED lien
TOOK own LIFE
BOTTLE or sTRYcHNiNE FOUND
IN ROOM WHERE BODY WAS
DISCOVERED, CORNER WOULD
LIKE TO FIND THE SELLER
MENTALLY AciTATED.

The circumstances touching the And \
ing of the dead body of Simon s. Lien,
brick mason from C1arksviIle, MINI,
in a retiring room at the Higgins q
Aske establishment, yesterday after
noon. point to case OF suicide.
Close investigations are being pur-
sued by Coroner Vincent, aided By
police, and today evidence came TO
light that Lien had been In and out of
the Higgins e. Aske place during yes
terday morning and it il known that he
had a few dollars in his pockets. He
treated men with whom he entered
into quiet conversation. but he drank
very little himself. Some with whom
he talked say now that Mr.. Lien APP
peared at times to be very much men
tally agitated and he went of by him
self occasionally.
Immediately after the finding Of the
dead body. it appears Mr.. Higgins
found in corner Of the retiring room
a small bottle, which he gave over to
the custody Of George Walker, deputy
coroner. Examination Of the contents
of the bottle disclosed that the stuff
was strychnine The bottle and con-
tents are now in the custody Of Cor
oner Vincent, who has made the rounds
of the local drug stores and finds that
the poison was not bought in Moor
head.
The theory of the officials now is that
the case lie one of suicide and that he
was not the victim of Knock OUT
g. a
purpose would be too plainly seen. 1t
is said that Mr.. Lien left a wife and
child in Clarlzville and from some
words passed it is believed that family
troubles existed. Coroner Vincent is
anxious to find out where the poison
was purchased with the hope that q
description Of the buyer will prove q
clue to solving the cause OF Liens
death.
Worked in North Daketa.
Late this afternoon information
reached Coroner Vincent, that Lien
had been heard TO say that he had
been running a traction engine this
fall, in North Dakota, possibly at Fin
ley or the country tributary. that he
had accepted a number Of checks
from farmers, but none were found
on his person. Coroner Vincent thinks
that possibly the check may be among
his effects at the place where he was
rooming, very likely in some small
hotel or. rooming house in Fargo. No
one seems to remember seeing the
man in Moorhead until yesterday. The
body Of Lien is in the custody OF
Wright g. Sons, undertakers where
it may be viewed for purposes of
more fuller identification and the pos
sible whereabouts Of the dead mans
effects.
