This time he paid no attention to
what was going on in the house, but
would sit deep in meditation or stare
out of the window. Mrs. Stebbins'
first fear was that he was losing his
mind.
She said she would feel perfectly
terrible If anything like that hap
pened to the dear Old man while he
was under her care She said she
never would be able to forgive her.

"Mebbe it's rheumatism" Stebbins
suggested, hopefully. THAT is liable
to make a man do almost anything"
Don't you want some more blank.

niece asked him after this suggestion.
"Are you perfectly comfortable?"
THANK you, T1lda, I'm perfectly
comfortable" Uncle Horace had re-
sponded. "I guess I'll go after the
NALL"
This was really double blow, for
Uncle Horace normally was not po-
lite, and he always wanted anything
that was offered him, no matter what
it was, and also it was long walk to
the post office.
Mrs. Stebbins had begged him to let
little Johnny go and save his own
strength, but Uncle Horace had per
sisted. He said he felt that ne ought
to do something instead of sitting
around and letting the family wear
themselves out waiting on him, and
that he was glad to be of service.

Surely not when the wind is blowing
so, Uncle Horace!" or Don't worry
me by going out in this snowstorm,
Uncle Horace!" had not the remotest
effect upon him when he started to
climb into his galoshes and wrappings
to go after the mail.
Mrs. Stebbins said to her husband,
dolefully, that she feared it was the
beginning of the end
The week that Uncle Horace took
to starting at sound and to flush
at word or an unexpected look, filed
Mrs. ,Stebbins with alarm. That
something awful was the matter with
Uncle Horace she was convinced and
she besought him to see doctor. She
made him telly and fed him beef tee
despite his protests and tried IN vain
to get some Ineligible conversation
out Of him.
Then one day he went after the
mail and did not come oack.
Mrs. Stebbins had the whole town
out searching for him She wept as
she looked on closet shelves and up
trees and in other impossible places
and said that nobody could know
how her heart bled at the idea that
darling old Uncle Horace might be In
terrible danger that very moment
The Stebbins family and most Of
the town stayed up all night search
ing. Then the next morning a note
that explained everything came frorl
Uncle Horace.

five, who wants to make home fol

They revived Mrs. Stebbfns three
times before she quit fafnting. Ther
she remembered that Mrs. Cromp wa:

made her feel better.

Caring for
Horace

Uncle Horace was over sixty and
discouragingly rich.
There is point where ones income
becomes so great that people pass
from common, ordinarily covetous
envy to a resignedly helpless state of
mind. They write down the figures of
that income, stare at them and then
say: ooh, shucks! There amt no
such income!" That was the delight
full kind of income Uncle Horace had.
Mrs. Stebbins and Mrs. Cromp, his
two nieces, were so devoted to him
anu said they counted it such a joy
to have the dear old mans presence
glorify their homes that they lost
good sleep planning how TO entice him
away from each other.
Moreover, each was firmly con-
vinced that the other was a designing
person.
Since he had come to stay with
Mrs. Stebbins for a few months she
had felt that something was wrong
with Uncle Horace. If it had not
been for his income Uncle Horace
would have been a small, insignificant
individual with pale eyes and an un-
pleasant habit of wanting the hest
chair, and of sitting in the next room
and coughing when his niece had call
ers. Under the circumstances he was
a reserved, original man with ideas of
his own, which his relatives delighted
to humor.
What worried Mrs. Stebbins espe-
cially was Uncle Horace's air Of alb
straction and his unwonted helpful
ness. Usually he was under feet in
vestigating everything that went on
and getting in the way tremendously.
On these occasions Mrs. Stebbins was
wont to say, through her teeth, that
1t was perfectly wonderful the way
Uncle Robert kept up.

SITUATION HERE MAY TAKE
A SERIOUS TURN IF LAW IS FAULTY
Looks as Though Breweries Can Sell on Sundays, After
Hours and Any Time w ithout Breaking Any
Law-Attorneys' Viewpoint.

Forks brewery was to have been pros
ecuted. charged with retailing bu it
developed that the sale to the messen-
ger boy had bee two cases and he
was taking them over one at a time.
1t also appears, from the state of the
law. as interpreted by the lawyer in
question. that a purchase can be made
at wholesale and delivered in smaller
quantities. the ground being that the
sale is an entirety and that the law as
regards wholesaling governs the sale
and not the manner or quantity of de-
livery.
Should these contentious be true
and the breweries desire to take adj
vantage Of them. East Grand Forks
saloonkeepers would be in a bad pre-
dicament. The saloons pay $1,000 a
year license and under the state law
they n sell after II o'clock at
night o on Sunday. The breweries.
IN the other hand. pay no license to
the city and apparently can sell on
Sunday or at midnight. The officials
may be powerless to stop this and
Sunday selling could become a habit
here. if the sales are made in whole
sale quantities and nothing could be
done. However if the wholesalers try
this, the city officials will undoubted-
ly make a test case Of the proposition
and take the matter to the supreme
court for a ruling. Nothing can be
learned from the city officials as to
their plans. but undoubtedly their
course would be along this line.

and measures In this territory. has

for Mallory and Fisher to look over
there.
Mr.. Lindh while here made a thor
ough anvas Of the business places
and found conditions varying" East
Grand Forks was as good as any other
city in obeying the weights and meas
ures law" he said this afternoon. 7
found the weights in fair shape al
though some of the business places
were a little lax in giving full meas
ure. AS I o measures the saloons were
in good shape. This 10 probably due
to the fact that they use the best
grade OF copper measures. made es-
pecially for their business and a. a
result the consumer is quite likely to
get his moneys worth or pretty near
it in the average saloon. III rest OF
the business houses are also up to
standard In most respects. l found
some conditions that needed correct
ing and corrected them.
when do / come back? Well. let
the business men tell you that. I'm
liable to drop In here any day. Maybe
next week. Probably not for several
months. MY territory Is in eight
counties and I drop here and there
at random. II they knew when I was
coming they could correct anything
