dwindled away, until now a big cleo
trio sign on their building at Lafay-
ette-blvd., Michigan-ave. and Griswold-
ST. forms their chief lure TO the UNI
wary, were given severe grilling by
Assistant Prosecutor Leo Koscinski
during his argument TO the jury.
"Unscrupulous scoundrels who
should be driven from this city," and
social outcasts" were some of the
phrases used by the prosecutor as he
pointed his finger at the doctors, who
quailed under the araignment.
Justice Jeffries surprised the prose-

ing directly on the museum itself, and
whether or not IL was exhibited.
Attorneys Kosclnski and Keidan, a
TX. & X" combination that resulted
disastrously for the doctors, attempt
ed to show that the museum was
merely a sort of preparation OF the
victim, so that he might be easily
scared into fits and enlisted as a
patient by the specialists"
When w. j. Lola, complaining wit
ness, told of being shown the mu-
scum, TO be conducted before one or
the doctors Immediately afterward, he
was stopped by the judge when he
stated that he was told 10 remove his
clothing.
A squabble between Attorney
Bumps and the prosecutors resulted
every time the prosecution made an
effort to show the uses OF the muse

Tense In each instance.

another witness. He admitted that
II was his duty TO take visitors TO

leave them there. He admitted that
he had taken % men there so far this
year, and that the visitors were later
taken before one OF the doctors His
testimony was the hardest blow to
the defense. as DR.. j. ID. Kennedy, on
the stand. swore that since the law
had been passed forbidding such ex!
hibitions. the museum had not been
used as an exhibit, but that the an-
atomical horrors were merely "stor-
ed" in the building. which he owns.
He said that he had been here "a
years, and testified that he had not
been doing so much advertising OF
late as he had done.
Attorney Bumps. in defending the
men, turned his guns principally on
the prosecution, accusing Mrs Koscin-

THE REBIRTH OF AN
OLD SAYING.

Years ago somebody began saying
/" To saVe time is to lengthen life"
. And he persisted in saying it, and,
what is more curious, in proving it by
machines.
But then, it must not be understood
that the length of life is measured by
years. Some men who have lived to
be eighty haven't lived twenty years.
Accomplishment is the gauge oflife.
And now, lest we get too far in
philosophy, let's come up with a
round turn and say that
The Remington Typewriter, born
in 1873, began to save time and to
lengthen life.
1t began to save time in the accom-
plishment of things that needed to be
done.
And every year of its life, with ac-
cumulated energy and ever COM
pounding interest, it saves time for
millions of men the world over and
so lengthens life.
1t was a wise man who put upon
the Remington shield that MOTTO
" To save time is to lengthen life"
For it saves time and lengthens life
in 81 languages.
And that's record to be proud of.
For thirty years its advocates have
been going about with this one great
message, " You cannot afford TO lVrite
in the old lvay."
Pen paralysis is disease that not
only affects the individual but also
spreads to the entire business where
pens are preferred to typewriters, un-
til now there is none so benighted as
to stand for the old way as against a
Remington.
But that old saying has had re-
birth and the Remington machine has
begun to save time and lengthen life
in a new department of business.
From the field of correspondence it
has advanced to the carefully guarded
gateway of accounting and has said to
the chief accountant
Il can save time"
II will add and subtract for you
and lengthen life right here"
with the addition of little me-
chanical calculator about as big as
good-sized walnut, I'll add and sub
tract and write the totals, and indeed
fill new niche in life"
Oh, yes, you have seen adding ma
chimes before, and writing machines
aplenty.
But both working together, all un-
der one head, one control, adding and
writing at one and the same timeI p
that is different matter.
Again the Remington has a mes
sage to all business men. 1t says:
You cannot afford 10 ADD and
SUBTRACT in the old tVay."
"Once brought you the cure for
pen paralysis. Now trust me to teach
you the cure for mathematical paraly-
sis in your accounting department"
And the head accountant remem-
bers how the Remington achieved one
revolution and he concludes that the
Remington can do il again.
And thus time is saved and life
heightened in another field Of labor.

Fargo, N. D., July 24.-Thrift was

President j. H. Worst Of the North
Dakota agricultural college before
the farm boys encampment of 100
delegates, who nave come to Fargo az

that the farm is the logical place for
the boy who desires to- get a start in
the world and he advised the bows
who are now on the farm to stay
there and give 1t a fair trial even
though every one Of their particular
chums made straight for the city.
AS a concrete example Of what can
be accomplished on any good Mime
sofa or North Dakota farm, President
Worst took he cream output from
two cows for a period of Nifty years.
He showed that In this time the
money: accruing from. the sale Of
cream from the pair Of mixers would
amount. to. 100000, a neat sum for
any man to have to fall back on when
his time came to retire. He suggest
ed that h boys pick u two cows
on the farm and stay by them, laying
aside the cream money for q rainy
day.
President Worst's address was tho
feature Of the class work of the North
Dakota boys big outdoor school and
when the educator had finished
Justify. Many of the boys took down
copious notes while the speaker was
telling OF the numerous good things
the farm offers the youth who has
backbone enough to stay there and
make the best Of his opportunities.

Clifford Peterson of Reyn-

At about ~ o'clock last night a
pad accident happened when CLIFFORD
peterson, driving recklessly with an
p. M. F.-3o a ran into a horse and
rig driven by Andy Bentley in the
eleven hundred block on Belmont
avenue. There were four me- in the
car beside the driver and all Of them
had been drinking. Clifford Peterson,
who Is only a boy Of IS years, came
in from Reynolds yesterday with his
brother Irvine looking for some har-
vest hands. Three men were found
over in East Grand Forks who were
looking for work and they were hired.
Before starting for home the men
went into a saloon and the three
hired men got drunk. CLIFFORD had
never touched a drop Of liquor be-
fore in his life but was induced to
take q couple Of "schooners" last
nisht. After leaving the saloon the
avenue bridge to this side Of the
river. The driver remembered COM
ing over and recalls everything thai
occurred up to the time Of the acct
dent. The car was driven past an
officer on the corner. but he says that

but Clifford protested, saying that he
could do 1t himself. He has driven
for the last three years and is con-
attempting to go over a crossing the
car struck a bump and the car
swerved and ran into Bentley's rig
and injured Bentley considerably as
we'll a. doing damage to the horse
and buggy ana car. The engine in
the AUTO was smashed slightly and
both lamps were broken. The buggy
was pretty we'll smashed and the
morse broke away. but was not badly
injured. Bentley was lucky in escap-
Ing without any serious injuries.
ohlcer Bliven and Chief Lowe hur-
rted to the scene just as the car was
driving away. The car went past the
rig and over the sidewalk into the
fence belonging to H. Langord and
several trees had the bark skinned
of. The 1--WE men were taken in Gus
tody ana brought to the city hall.
Chief Lowe sent the four home to
responsible for the accident and his
mother Mrs. Peter Peterson came in
this morning and the case was salts
factorily settled. The mother felt
very bad over the accident as did
Clifford. The young man did not
realize what he had done at the time,
but later expressed deep regret for
his conduct. Andy Bentley was sum
moned this morning inc was willing
to settle the a A fine Of sis was
paid for exceeding the speed limit and
the injured party was settled with
satisfactorily.
It is reported that the results Of
Pe%terson's reckless driving cost him
about $3.50. The young man is well
liked by all who know him and has
always been very temperate in his
habits. He attended the university
