HOUSEHOLD NOTES.

When making collars for thin
waists you will find that they will fit
much better If a perfectly fitting
collar of paper is sewed on the waist
first and the strips of lace and inser-
ton are basted on IL.
When sewing lace at the top OF
collars. hold il against the wrong
side of the collar so that the stitches
Will come on the right side, drawing
the thread moderately tight. This
will make the lace stand up neatly
around the neck.
Unless cake tins have been well
creased, 1t is often difficult to dis

of wrapping the tin for a moment or
two in a cloth wrong out in cold
water and then giving It one IT two
sharp knocks.

JOURNALISM IN
PIONEER DAYS
CALLED AT EDITORIAL Sane
TIM WITH BLACKSNAkE WHIP
CONCLUDED DISCRETION To
BE BETTER PART OF NALOR.

The other evening J Leary OF the
Western Pacific. related an incident
of early-day journalism in North
Dekota thai brought back out OF the
past a lively recollection of the event
as we'll as of one OF the principal
characters.
Although it would be nearly i'm
possible 10 penetrate the disguise
of the present railroad magnate. Mr..
Leary was. during the SOS an ordi-
nary journalist. and al the time re-
ferred to in the employ of the Argus.
at Fargo, North Dakota. owned. edit
ed and published by the r~edoubtable
Major Edwards.
The major had for many years
been generally recognized as the
dean of the profession in the terri
tory. and enjoyed the reputation of
being an unusually caustic writer at
times. However. as he was a very
large man weighing in the neighbor-
hood of 400 pounds and built pro-
portionately, he was seldom called
to personal o for his savage
attacks on men who had incurred his
displeasure.
The major had taken a violent dis
like to a man named Cranston. who
lived in al adjoining town and was
considered somewhat of a politician.
This latter fact was what Edwards
particularly objected TO, as he In

county and state himself. One morn
ing there appeared in the Argus a
rib-roast on Cranston that was way
beyond human endurance to bear.
The mex day Cranston alighted from
the train and went into the nearest
store and purchased a blaeksnake
whip. mentioning the fact that he
a going up to the Argus office to
give Edwards a beating. While
he tarried in the store discussing the
best means of accomplishing his
designs, a friend of the majors call
ed him up by telephone and warned
him of the intending danger.
The editorial sanctum of the
Argus editor had been fitted up with
many curlos, which included an old
sword of huge proportions that had
been handed down to the major from
his revolutionary ancestors. 1t was
fully four feet in length and had
been kept polished up so that one
could use il for a mirror. After re-
eeiving the telephone message, Ed
wards got the sword down from It's
accustomed place IN the wall. and
when he heard Cranston ascending
the stairs took it from its scabbard
and began sharpening his lead pencil
Cranston came 10 the door. black
snake in hand. but at sight OF the
warlfke demonstration turned and
ran and Is possibly running yet. as
he was never seen in Fargo after the
first train left town that day.
