First "Man Of Straw

The phrase, "a man Of straw" had
Its origin in England at time when
men might easily be procured to fur
nish evidence upon oath in almost any
emergency. It appears that persons of
this description were accustomed to
walk openly in Westminster hall with
straw projecting from their shoes,
thus signifying they sought employ
ment as witnesses. Hence the express
sion.
An advocate who desired conve-
nient witness knew by this sign where
to find one; and the colloquy between
the two was brief.

but when the fee was increased his
powers of memory increased with it,

date or the name of founder can be
assigned to the Order of the Holy
Sepulchre, though there is a legendary
tradition that traces it's origin to the
time of Charlemagne. In the middle
of the last century, however, when
the Latin Patriarchate of JerusaleM
was reesta blished, the Office Of grand
master of the order was transferred to
it by Pope Plus the Ninth, who many
years later, in 1888, created by stat

American Ways of Eating Astonish
an Oriental.

at SIlSHLdI $50
New York Post: The gastronomic
orgies of an American Thanksgiving
or Christmas are nothing less THAI
shocking to an Oriental.
To a n-christian, and especially to
a Hindu, says Saint Nihal Singh, in
The Hindustan Review, this eating
performance on such a sacred day i'm
presses itself as being vertically sacri-
legious.
1t seems strange to him that so
many poor fowls-turkeys, chickens,
geese and ducks-should be butchered
in celebration Of such ar event as that
commemorated on Dec. rs.
Talk of the religions of the ORIENT"
he exclaims, what is in them to
match this enormous sect Of $1,000, 900
Americans, who, on the sacrificial days,
all sit down at midday to eat turkey
and cranberry sauce" The same in
congruity re-appears in church sup
pers. The members Of the
congregation, the writer explains to
his fellow countrymen, cook v~ictuals
at great expense, and carry them from
their homes to the church. There
these very women and their husbands
and sons and brothers, and as many
other members of the male sex as can
be persuaded to attend, pay the church
a rupee or more for the privilege of
eating things that primarily did not
belong to the church, but were their
very own"
The "get-fed- quick lunch counter
has it's comical side, which somewhat
molliies the Oriental repugnance to
it's haste and harm. You ask for soup,
and the waiter bawls out, zone up"
You order a cup of tea, and you
hear your wish transmitted in the
words, zone on the Chinaman."
A request for two eggs, fried and
turned, reaches the cook in the laconic
Eyes shut-two.'
Irish stew is a ton Of COAL scram-
bled eggs are "a shipwreck," and hash
is mystery"
The climax Of this feature of Ameri-
can life is reached in the New Year
eve performances. At one of these "in
the second largest city on the Ameri-
can continent" three gentlemen among
them consumed fourteen quart bottles
of champagne.
Probably most Americans would
have been as astonished at this feat
as was its Hindu witness.

Of the session, with local profession
ais the best buyers ON the Argentine
news. Later, however, owing to light
speculative demand, the early buyers
turned sellers, causing a break of u

Southwestern markets continue to
show q strong undertone with receipts
running very light at Kansas City,

tive trade which prevails. We still

tent the police had the men red-hand-
ed, b u conviction was made easier by
a complete confession made by Page.
One man, Sandy Ross, escaped the
clutches of the officers and crossed
over to Fargo where he seems to be
safely entrenched on account of the
lack OF evidence which was needed to
safely land him within the jurisdiction
OF the Minnesota law. The trio SEN
fenced are only part of a gang which
is known to be making a living out of
the proceeds of thefts made in both
Clay and Cass counties. 1t is said the
lines are tightening about two bad'uns
who will be landed sooner or later.

Notes About the courthouse.

Miss Ethel fainter Of Hawley has
been appointed by Miss Rushfeldt,
county superintendent of schools, her
assistant and the salary has been fixed
at $500 a year.
At the meeting yesterday the county
commissioners authorized an increase
in the salary of County Attorney
Johnson from $500 to $1,S00. 1t is
generally conceded that MI. Johnson is
giving Clay county a splendid admin
istration Of the Office he holds espe-
cially in the criminal side of his office
and evil doors are rapidly learning
that when Mr.. Johnson makes a decis-
i've move that the Jig is up, and a plea
of guilty is generally forthcoming,
with the result that a great deal Il
money is saved the county in jury and
other fees.
The liquor license for Clay county
has been lxed at $1,000 which will
cause some wry faces at Dilworth. The
pocket gopher bounty has been fixed ut
5 cents each.
The usual arrangement for county
printing has been decided upon by the
board and each paper will have its
just share of the pie-so amicabiy ar
ranged that there is no friction and
all concerned receive just compensa-
ton for the labor performed, and the
county the best of service.

tablished a rural highway or state

BOARD CONSIDERS
new HIGH SCHOOL
COMMITTEE OF BOARD OF Epu.
CATION TO GATHER STATISTICS
AND FACTS AS TO COST or CON.
TEMPLATEo NEW SCHOOL
BUILDING.

At a meeting of the board of edu-
cation of Moorhead, last night, the
greater part of the session was de-
voted to the informal consideration of
the matter Of the question which has
been aroused. a new high school build
ing for the city.
The board decided that IL it is the
wish Of the people, after the latter
have had all of the facts and view
points presented to them, that the
needs of the city require the immediate
erection of a new school building, to
take the place of the present central
building, then the board will exercise
its p~rerogative and take the first step
as the law governing h board re-
quires. The board of education Is h
only body to take the first legal step
and that will include the ordering OF
an election to vote on the issuing or
bonds for such an amount as may be
decided upon and that will be de-
termined by the sentiment of the peo-
pie after they have been fully APP
prised of all the view points pertaining
to the financing of the enterprise, etc.
One point reached by the board was
that there was to be no antagonism
with the committee Of the commercial
club that it was hoped the board and
club would work together and so serve
the best interests Of the public. 1t de-
volved upon the board Of education to
look into the matter for itself, as it
was an elected body responsible only to
the people.
To bring the matter to a focus, Geo.
E. Perley moved that the president Of
the board appoint a committee of three,
himself to be chairman, to investigate
the needs of the city as to high school
requirements and facts from all points
Of view, for the best interests of the
city as a whole. This committee is to
work in harmony with a committee of
the commercial club, to which has been
deputed the work of collecting facts
and information for the enlightment
of the general public of the city and
it is expected that the club committee
will embody some suggestions which
will be based on the wishes Of the
pople after the pulses have been felt.
President Titus James as his col
leagues on the committee, Messrs. Per-
ley and Davy. On the club committee
is a member of the board of educa-
ton and the city superintendent Of
schools so that the public may rest as
sured that the new school question
will be thoroughly analysed and when
it comes to the people to decide, there
will be no n moving in the dark,
unless it be some person who does not
