WAYS OF LOAN SHARKS.

A vigorous crusade against the salary
loan sharks is being waged in Boston.
Some astonishing facts have been
brought to light about the methods pur-
sued by these bloodsuckers.
An almost unbelievable case is that
OF man who, twenty years ago, bor-
rowed SIS from one of these vampires.
Since contracting the loan he has paid
back s2,153 and still owes the original
SIS. Can you beat that?
Another case is that of an unfor-
tunate who got into the grip Of a loan
shark five years ago by borrowing $500.
He has to date paid back $4,000 and his
creditor says there is still $3.50 due on
the $4OO loan.
Massachusetts is preparing to make
1t warm for this class of human yul-
lures. Every state in the union should
follow the good example.
1t is the very poor who are the vic
tins of these heartless extortioners-a
class which is the least able to bear
such crushing burden.
Many large firms and corporations in
the big cities have taken a determined
stand against these sharks-by offering
to make loans to their employees with
out interest--and by defending in court
any suits brought by the usurers. This
is good business, as well as genuine
philanthropy, and night be followed
everywhere with the best results.

Flushing Machine.
Alderman Jardine representing the
committee which made the trip to
Minneapolis TO examine the street
flushing machines made a report to
the city council. The COMMITTEE fav-
ored the purchase Of the Studebaker
machine and the city will purchase a
washer of that design which will cost
81, 100.
The studebaker design uses less
water than the other makes seen by
the committee and is two and one
half times more efficient. Mr.. Jardine
stated that when the streets were
flushed with the machine that one
could rub his hands over the pavement
and would get no dirt on them. The
proper authorities of the city win en-
ter into a contract for the Studebaker
machine at once. An expert will ac-
company the machine to Fargo TO d.
rect the city employees how to operate
and give them instructions along this
line.
Alderman Frenette asked OF there
was anything that could be done to
prevent the dumping OF manure just
west of the city limits in the big
slough. He was informed that IL he
could find out the names Of the par
ties doing such work, some arrests
would be made and the Offenders be
brought before the courts Of the city
Standard Oil Building.
A letter was read from the STANDARD
Oil Co.. asking that the city take some
steps to relieve the present position OF
the company's office building and
barn.
The company recently built an Of
fee at it's place and In SO doing used
the surveys given by a former city
engineer. When the building had beer
completed 1t was learned that the OF.
flee building ran out on the street
feet, according to the survey OF City
Engineer Anders.
The situation Is a very perplexinl
one and was caused by the mistake o.
the former city engineer. The man,
ager of the local branch would like t.
purchase the ground Of the city IL ths
council will consent to do this. This
barn Of the Standard is also on SONS
of the street known as Sixth avenus
north, but this will be moved as sooI
as possible.
The matter was referred to the cits
attorney, the street commissioner ant
the street committee which will repor
at q future meeting of the council.

Stories about the war between the
states are getting scarce-that Is, sto-
r1es told by men who enacted the
events narrated Time was when vet
Grams used to meet and swap yarns by
the dozens-a1l true too. But now
they are too old to get together very
often and when they do they find their
memories are so defective that it is
difficult for them to get through a con-
tinuous narrative. They mix up dates
and places and armies so that it spoils
the story.
A veteran whose hair was white as
snow, whose cheeks were hollow, told
me this story. 1t was difficult for me
to realize that he was the same man
who as boy nearly half century ago
took part in the adventure he narrated
''I'd been a prisoner Of war so long"
he said. that felt I'd rather die than
stay any longer in that prison pen. So
one dark night got two men to stand
up against the fence, the one on the
others shoulders, and / climbed up
to the shoulders of the top man,
clutched the fence and got on top Of it.
How ] did it l don't know. for I'd had
little or nothing to eat for months and

Oliver had discovered the forest in
closed pool as he tramped through the
woods on his survey of the territory.
The ice was thick and dare and smooth
as glass. and it invited him to test it.
The next day he deserted his assistants
and sought the frozen pool with pair
Of skates slung over his shoulder.
He was kneeling on the bank fasten-
ing his skates when he heard the
sound of light footballs on the thin
crust Of snow. He looked up.
A girl was coming down the wood
land path. swinging shining skates
over her shoulder. He could see that
she was dark, with soft masses OF curl
ing black hair and large black eyes; a
lovely rose color bloomed in her cheeks
and tinted her tender lips. She wore
bright red skirt with a jaunty fur
Jacket, and on her head was perched a
cap of something soft aid heecy.
The girl did not seem to see Oliver
as she came lightly down to the edge
of the pond and knelt down to adjust
the skates TO her pretty russell shod
feet.
For an instant she poised on the edge
of the ice like bright hued bird
Now she suddenly dashed toward
him with fur gloved hands outstretch-
ed. Instinctively be lodged her en-
brace, and as he slipped past she ut
tered soft chuckling laugh.
There ensued the most startling ex-
perience In divers career. For half
hour he was pursued about that small
Icy space by this girl of the fairy

IL Loomed Up Large In NapoIeon's
Treatment Of Children.
Napoleon had singular rage for
pulling children's ears. sometimes so
hard as to make the poor children cry.
Caroline was very vexed when she
saw her little Achille the victim of his
uncle's caresses, and more than once
her sons tears made her weep too.
One day the First Consul. pulling the
ears of the little fellow. hurt him, and
he cried out. To teach him not to cry
his uncle pulled bis ear again, harder.
Achille, having freed himself, came
back to him In fury and. raising his
little fist, shouted:
you are villain, wicked, wicked
villainr'
To prove the contrary Napoleon
should have embraced his nephew and
made him forget the pain be had gra-
tuttously inflicted by some show of af-
lection. But tenderness was not in
his character. Corsicans scarcely know
what 1t means. and, though Napoleon
used to say, Il am less of a Corsican
than one thinks" he was really more
so than any one or he himself thought
Instead of quieting his nephew he be-
came angry and gave him violent
slap on the face. The child ran weep

So Loose the Animal Can Almost Turn
Somersaults In Il.
The pelt OF an adult badger is ex-
Gemely thick and difficult for a biting
adversary to penetrate. writes trap
per in Fur News, and so loosely does
the skin cover the body that the ami
NAL is able to turn almost around in
its hide.
Should a dog acquire a hold on the
throat the badger turns himself so that
the dogs grip is on the back Of the
badgers neck without having loosened
his first hold. Then the badger Sc
cures viselike grip upon some vul-
nerable portion of his enemy, and
while his long tusks penetrate to the
limit he digs and scratches with his
front feet that are furnished with
claws almost as formidable and deadly
as might be expected from an anteater
Of the dark continent.
He who has removed the pelt of a
badger and is at all observing does not
wonder at this animal being sharp bit
ten and that he is able to hang with
bulldog tenacity when the formation
and adjustment of its jaws are noted.
Neither Is it so much of a mystery how
he manages to bore through the soil
SO rapidly that half dozen men with
shovels cannot overtake him. for he is
mass of cords and muscles, particu-
larry in the neck. chest and shoulders,
very similar in physical construction to

The badger toes inward sharply when
travelling and always on the walk,

much like the movement Of a skunk,

So long as we had no traitors among

since we were all doing the work as

traitors was that some spy should come
among us for the express purpose of

that the police should get word of our

Old Time SMALLPOX Cure.

To cure smallpox was apparently a
very simple matter in the good old
times. John of Gaddesden. court doc
tor to Edward H., has recorded that
he got rid Of the disease by the simple
expedient of wrapping his patients In
red cloth.
Let scarlet red be taken" he says.
"and let him who is suffering small
pox be entirely wrapped in it or in
some other red cloth. did this when
the SOD of the illustrious king of Eng
land suffered from smallpox. ! took
care that all about his bed should be
red, and that cure succeeded very
well"-London Chronicle.
