VIII Not Intervene.

Although Japanese craftsmanship
will probably avail itself OF every OPP
portunity created by the changing
governmental conditions in the Chinese
empire. yet there appears to be no
disposition to add 10 the difficulties or
to intervene in any manner beyond
the borders OF Manchuria.
The aim of Japanese policy seems
now as before the outbreak of the re-
voluiion to be in the direction of en-
couraging an efficien, government in
the Chinese empire and the develop
ment of the splendid resources lying
unused. Japan needs time TO consolidate
her interests in Korea and in Man
churia. Her geographical nearness to
the Chinese markets and the skill in
special knowledge OF Japanese traders
make the Japanese confident that they
will obtain a large share OF the az
rantages OF high economic develop
ment of the Chinese people without
further territorial extension.

SENT TO PEN FOR

jamestown, N. D., June 2O.--After
being out for fourteen hours the jury
in the case Of the state VS.. Ed. Nc
Mahou, charged with selling liquor,
brought in verdict Of guilty and the
defendant received sentence Of one
year at hard labor In the state peni-
tertiary.

! Baldwin appeared as McMahon's at
torney against state Attorney Knee
land and Assistant States Attorney
Carr and those who attended the trial
saw several flashes OF legal fireworks.
Hot repartee flowed freely when at
torney Baldwin called Mr.. Carr to the
stand to testify in regard to admissions
made by the defendant just after his
arrest.
Added to all this were several cases
OF full and empty beer and liquor bot
ties offered by the state in evidence as
the seized property of the defendant.
This array of beverages caused a smile
to go from one face to another over
the court room every time an attorney
took a drink Of water.
The court started in yesterday with
the consolidated cases OF Claude c.
Hawkins Leroy Seckerson and e. G.
Burgar VS.. william Sinclair, three sep
arate suits brought to recover alleged
damages during prairie FIRE in March
of last year.
According to the stipulation of the
plaintiffs, Mr. Sinclair started fire
In a straw stack without sufficient
protection to keep the blaze from
spreading and that strong wind carried
the fire to the farm homes Of the three
plaintiffs doing considerable damage
There are seven causes Of action cited.
Mr.. Seckerson demands the greater
claims, saying that he lost buildings
and property to the amount OF some
II 900. The other two claims damages
not far from $500 each.

found that the young Dummies were

bottle when the poison began its work.
He was lying face downward with one

feet slightly, as a hole in the earth

Twas New Years eve; the big cafe
was bright with Yuletide cheer,
Where flowed the festive T. & and
fixed the foaming beer;
Along the broad mahogany score of
fans or more
Were fighting DER the battles OF the
season gone before.
They talked about the pennant race
and how the pirates slump
Had put them on the shoot the chute
and made EN- bump the bump;
They played again the series Of ath-
letics versus cubs;
They argued over batting stars and
pitchers known to fame
And some there were who rooted fair
and some who knocked the game.
The players of the leading teams sue
cessively were panned;
They told how some should get raise
and others should get canned.
They toasted mighty Honus as the
greatest of thief all;
They cited old-time champions and
quoted famous plays,
And dug UP baseball anecdotes OF pre-
historic days,
And ever as night wore on and tale
succeeded tale
They blithely filled the trimming bow
and auaffed the good wassail,
That ever lent dts lutser to the nations
favored game.
When suddenly there came SOUND
from out the somber gloom
That lured behind the chimney in the
corner OF the room,
And presently there shambled forth 3
stranger long and lean,
His locks were lank, his beard wa:
dank, his face was scanned and old,
But underneath the shaggy brows hil
eyes bleamed keen and cold.
He swept them with piercing glance
