ment The law will come before the
court for consideration Monday.
30 long ~ the laws are passed IN Vhs
hasty and unconsidered way that they
are" the Solicitor General argued In
the brief. 81 10 the duty OF the court
not 10 adhere to the letter OF the enact.
msnt and destroy the spirit. but TO
strive - best Il may to give measures
q reasonable and effective meaning.
The Government asked the court In
this instance to construe the law not as
an attempt 10 regulate all newspapers

tionAl conditions on the use Of the sec

was not badly hurt. but was unequal TO
dealing her rival vital blow.
Just once during that fateful struggle the
Monitor seemed to be in dire peril-that
was when the Merrimac turned upon her
foe and tried to ram and sink the smaller
craft. Fortunately. the loss OF her iron
prow nullfied the Merrimac's attack to a
large measure. and the skilful handling ot
the more agile Monitor made the blow
glancing one, the Merrimac suffering more
from the onslaught than her enemy.

that one memorable four hours of strife

clearer vision and better judgment after

Newest Art Styles Attract
Many Women to Stores

A corner of the art colony of Paris
has been moved over to Devils Lake
and esconced in the several big mil
Gnery establishments. Artists in col.
ors, fasters Of design, the collector OF
choice feathers and the makers of
fine fabrics-all have combined to
produce those exquisite creations,
madam's hats.
Today the stores are ready to con-
duct the fall opening of millinery,
silks and dress goods, and the throngs
of feminity that thronged the stores
give ample evidence of tn discrim-
mating of the efforts to give to them
the finest and most tasteful in the
art Of millinery, and in material for
their gowns.
The millinery display, while exten.
sive, is far from an indiscriminate
representation of all that Paris has
produced. It is made up of the fav.
ored creations Of the best houses in
the great fashion center-houses
whose names are Synonymous with
the rare and superlative in millinery
The hats run from small to medium
and large fiat styles, with fancy os-
trich plumes, birds or paradise feath
ers, and egrets, liberal use OF
flowers, running mostly to large, open
roses or dahlias in rich autumnal
colorings. The predominat,ng mate
rails are velvet, plush and velour

FULL CONFESSION MADE BY H1R-
WHO COULD BEAR THE SECRET
FARM AT HARBoR.
HONEST STORY TOLD BY MAN
WHO COULD HEAR THE SECRET
NO LONGER.

Sunday morning, liver Lincoln, en-
ployed at the John Bryn farm in
Grand Harbor confessed to the accid-
entail shooting of Anton Bryn, who
was killed week ago last Saturday.
1t had been supposed up to the time
of Lincon's confession that Anton
had accidentally shot himself while
hunting, but according to the latest
;1story the sixteen year old boy met
death in differnt manner although
it was entirely accidental.
The two were cleaning their guns
in a shed in the woods when the ac-
cident happened, sitting opposite each
other on. benches and working over
a table. Lincoln placed his gun on
the table rather hard and it was ac-
cidentally discharged in the face of
Anton, who der in less than an
hour afterward.
According to the first story Anton
accidentally discharged the gun which
took his life, but the story of how the
boy really met death was too much
for Lincoln to bear and he made con.
fession of the entire affair Sunday
morning. That liver Lincoln is per-
fectly honest in the matter is the op-
inion of all who hear the his story.
