ler of Minot entered the state penitenti-
arye at Bismarck to serve 3 sentence of
ten years for the killing of Miss Gina
Lien, whose family home was at Union,
in this county. The death of Miss Lien
dates back to October 4th, 1909, when
she died in Minot hotel following an
operation. L. w Dale, who was also con-
vlcted in the case died of consumption a
few months ago after serving about a
year of his sentence in the penitentiary.

entire available means in their defense,
the case being given two trials in dis
trict court and finally last week refused

Lien IN the Minot hotel was sad affair

left alone in her room several hours be.

The storm Of Thursday evening and
the failure of the light caused the post
ponement of the domestic art and
science exhibit that night. Friday, the
last day before the Christmas recess,
however, brought very large number
of the parents of the children and
patrons of the school to the exercises of
the various departments. Here ample
announcement was made and all visitors
requested to view the cart Exhibit "
More than one hundred and seventy.ti
articles composed the exhibition.
The high school girls of course had
the greater number, the seventh grade
ranking next, the eighth grade bringing
up the rear. This is not matter of
surprise as the girls of our eighth grade
are given but two periods of forty five
minutes week in domestic art, the
seventh, three periods of corresponding
j time week and the high school depart
ment forty-fve minutes times two
periods or ninety minutes daily.
The scope of the work and the charac-
ter, beauty and finish of the girls needle
work caused many commendatory utter

Perhaps the first impression that FL eanor Cleveland makes upon one who meets her off the stage, is the fact that she is one of the rare exceptions among actresses, for she ceases to act the moment she has discarded her makeup and left the stage. The re- markable manner in which the leading lady of the Frank Carpenter Stock Company has won her way into the hearts of Bridgeport t. eatregoersN is self-explanatory to the armer repre- sentative who interviewed her this af- ternoon, for the remarkable traits of candor, earneStneSS, total lack of af- fectation, and winning womanlineSs are not assumed but component parts of her personality.
 CT am an impossible person to inter view'' were her first words Of greet ing. '1 am awfully tired; and even when I feel my very best, I never could see how anything I could say, beyond speaking big, bright manu- script lines could be worth printing; but I am req ly, truly glad to meet you, because it is the first chance I have had to express my appreciation Of the cordial welcome the people of Bridgeport have given our venture at the Lyric. Please don't think that I am given to the habit of convention al, insincere praise for the purpose of catering favors. When we came here as total strangers, MT. Carpenter, MT. Bushnell, MT. Conness, myself and all the ladies and gentlemen of our com pany, with the possible exception of, MT. Clemens, we were not mock-mod- est enough to know what we could do, but we anticipated a, hard, Ing strug- gle, and an interval of many weeks before we could win the favor and friendship of the people"
 Yet she continued, "On our very first night, when I think each indfvid- ua1 pair of knees were knocking to- gether in nervousness, there was a sort of message of friendship that thrilled over the footights. It is simply won derful-that unspoken message of 1ik- ing and sympathy, and responsiveness, that you cannot define and yet to the player means everything in the way of encourage and inspir ation; and the people of Bridgeport have been helping us just that way ever since.''
 We haven't given our best'' Miss Cleveland continued in answer to a question, "but we are going to, and

There are only two va rieties that have not laid an egg yet, these being Golden wyandottes and Houdans The White Leghorns have led the contest so far, but the ex- treme cold weather has shut them down, this being due to the frosted combs. The heavy breeds are in full swing now and will probably take the lead away from the pen of White Leg horns from England. The highest number of eggs in one day. has been 131. Considering the real. cold wealth CT this is considered a very good av- craze.
 Following is list of the cash prizes to be awarded: Fifty dollars for the best laying pen; s3O for the second laying pen; $50 for the first pen laying eggs of greatest market value; E$30 for second pen laying eggs of greatest market value; $20 for third pen laying eggs of greatest market value These with. many cups, medals and poultry supplies are. among the prizes.

Nurses Renew Old Friendships At
 Alumnae Dance
St. Vincent'S Graduates Held
 Successful Ball at Colonial

Many friendships formed during student days in the St. Vincent's Hos pital Training School for Nurses were renewed at the first of what prom ises to be a series of annual dances of the alumnae association of the nos pital. The dance was held at the Co- lonial ball room. The alumnae as- sociation has a membership of about 60, including graduates of the classes of 1908, 1909, 1910 and 1911. Most of them attended the ball, but there were a number whom professional duties detained.
 The reception committee included many local physicians. Among the patronesses were Mrs. M. H. Ford, Mrs. J. Murray Johnson, Mrs. George T. Mccarthy, Mrs. E. F.

 Miss Cleveland relaxed into her chair with a sincere, yet Seni-comic Here I have been, gabbing away your time and mine, now.' with a sigh, about the interview: I'll try to say something sane whether the questions are about Bernard Shaw whom ad- mire, or the latest fashions, which I don't''
 Miss Cleveland the interviewer or would be nterviewer-replied, ''sYou have been interviewed. You have given me material enough to satisfy the most exacting demands of the pub lie, who are praising your work un- stintingly, as they are the conscien- your company"
 Miss Cleveland looked at me with open-eyed surprise-she had been in terviewed without knowing it. With an absolute lack of self-consciousness she had given me peep into the heart of the woman-not the actress. She had solved for me a riddle which had been puzzling my brain for several days and prompted me to seek this in- terview. Young, attractive, womanly, with winning manners and personal magnetism-with a face which denotes determination; with the fires of anIbi- tion burning bright, success has come to her because she demanded 1t, forced it, worked for it.
