atus is modified to suit the conditions.

about 1S pounds. and tests show that
the apparatus works successfully for
from $50 to 200 miles over No. 9 gall

ment known as the field telephone.
Complete with battery. this instru-
ment weighs but 20 pounds, and may
be carried anywhere in the field. In
the work of the outposts of an army
his equipment is generally of far
greater value than visual signaling, Its
secrecy being a cardinal advantage.
The Russell cutin telephone set,
with battery. is another valuable in
strument designed for operation owe
short distances on telegraph lines.
The so-called field artillery telephone
is an instrument designed for use By
the field artillery in communicative

transmttter with a battery key, in.

OLD FORGERY GIVES
PARSONS MORE
TROUBLE
Is Arrested For Telephone
Game, Is Recognized and
Admits His Guilt

Murder will out. is the old saying.
Albert Parsons avs h a murder
hasn't anything on forgery, for for
gerry will be found as quickly as the
greater crime. Albert Parsons was
arrested on Saturday Afternoon under
false pretenses and was this morning
bound over to the district court by
Judge w. J. Rasmussen on a charge
Of forgery.
Parsons was released a short time
ago from the state prison at saltwater
and a good share of the time since
he has been in East Grand Forks. He
worked a number of saloon keepers
on a rather smooth game until sus-
picions were aroused and he was ar
rested by Chief of Police Sullivan.
After the arrest something of his
character was learned and he was
identified as a man who had cashed
a $40 check on the First State bank
on March 25, 1907, over the forged
of obtaining money under false pre-
enses was dismissed and the charge
Of forgery lodged against him by the
bank. This morning when arraigned
in court he pleaded guilty to the for
gerry charge. He was bound over to
the district court and was taken to
Crookston this noon by Constable
AAioPp
Worked Telephone Graft.
Parsons worked a good game while
it lasted. Securing the name of an
out-of-town friend of some certain
saloon keeper. he would inquire of
his dupe whether the friend had called
him up lately. The saloon keeper
would reply that he hadn't, with the
result hat Parson went to some near
by telephone and representing him
self as the friend. would instruct the
saloon keeper to give him (Parsons) a
certain amount Of money. 1t worked
splendidly for a few times but he was
finally nabbed and taken to the city
hall.
Parsons was sent to saltwater a few
years age for passing a, check for $50
on r. Butler of this city.
Got Thirty Days.
Thomas O'Leary. of the genus hobo,
was arrested Saturday evening for
vagrancy, after having been given sew
eral opportunities to leave the city
and hunt other places to loaf. and was
arraigned in municipal court this
morning before Judge Rasmussen. He
was given the option of a $25 fine
or a vacation of thirty days to be
spent in the Hotel Daniels. He was
taken to Crookston this noon.

HE HAS THE KISSING BEE.
But There is no Evidence That the
Girls are Sorry.

Kansas City Star.)
oliver Smith. IL years old, must
be careful about his manner Of kiss

OF sending him to the reform school.

Several times I have caught him

Ing them while they were on the way
home after school,. I have whipped
Oliver. warned him to stop the pract-
Ice, and finally had to take him to
the principal"
Yes; oliver has the kissing bee,"
lectured him about it, but it doesn't
seem to affect his longing for kisses,
Finally had to turn him over to the
truant officer to see what could be
DONE"
The truant officer and Mr.. swingley
testified to the same thing, and
Swingley said Oliver had kissed some
n very near and dear to him and
1t had to be stopped.
Did the girls ever protest against
this promiscuous habit Of kissing by
Oliver 2" Judge Sims asked the com.
planning witnesses.
well" the principal said, and
he paused to think about the ques-
ton: Now that ! think about 1t. /
don't believe that I ever heard any of
them say anything about it."
That was the opinion Of the entire
party. Judge Sims then started ia
lecture Oliver OF the rudiments Of
kissing-when. where, and how II
should be done.
"Oliver. in cast there il any kissing
to be done. 0 should always &C on
the defensive" Judge Sims told him.
Never be the aggressore in a case OF
that kind, and you will. grow up to be
a good man."
oliver was made a ward of the
court and paroled. He must report
every Saturday.
