Henry c. Hansbrough.

Any form of gambling is fascinating,
but ''low-ball' is the best of them
all, according to those who have played
it.
AT a downtown office the other af-
ternoon, when business was dull a
penny-ante" game was proposed.
The players were the proprietor Of the
establishment, real estate agent and
a barber.
Th game went along smoothly, for
tune first smiling on one and then on
another. Suddenly the proprietor Of
the place recalled that he had an ap-
pointment with the dentist. This re-
minded the land man that he had a
date with prospective purchaser. The
barber said: "Well, boys, it's Satur-
day but think we'd better play a
few more hands,
The other two players were loath to
leave the game, so the land man in
formed his customer over the phone
that he was i'll, and the other man told
the dentist, via the same route, that
his nerves were unstrung and as con-
sequence he thought he better wait un-
til another day.

The Saturday editions of the Min

to have operated upon. The Evening
Tribune contains the following &C
count:
DR.. Phillip Mueller, with Offices at
1910 Main street northeast, was bound
over to the grand jury late yesterday
on charges of performing an Illegal
operation. The complaint against the
physician charges him with manslaugh-
ter in the first degree. He was held un-
der $4,000 bail, which he furnished
list night. His arrest came after a
days investigation by detectives and
assistant county attorneys into the
death Of Mrs. Emma Magnuscn, 400

hospital early yesterday morning
A warrant for DR.. Mueller was
sworn out by Mathiaos Baldwin, as
sistant county attorney, after the au-
topsy. Mueller was arrested by Detec
tives Grumpy and Derrick. He was
taken before Judge Leary, where his

In a letter which was received from
Ex-senator Hansbrough, while P. j.
McClory was attending the funeral of
Judge Morgan, the former senator from
North Dakota pays the highest respect
to his friend, which is published now,
having just come TO the notice of Mr..
McClory on his return from Spring
Green, eWis. The letter follows:
Washington, d. c., May Is, 1912.
Dear Mr.. McClory:
1 have just learned of the death of
our very dear old friend, Judge Nor
gan, and through you want to say
few words to the good people of Dew
lis Lake, expressive of my. sorrow. I
greatly regret that L cannot be with
You on Sunday when you offer your
tributes to the memory of the deceased
jurist. ...
Judge Morgan was one of the finest
characters it has ever been my privil-
eye to know. He and came to Dakota
about the same time, and have known
and loved him all these years. He was
The grand old man of our young com.
monwealth, shining example of the
self-made American. Patriotic, loyal
to his friends, just in his conclusions,
warm in his sympathies, he was the
highest type Of the useful and love-
able citizen, an honor to his profession
all dhis country. With the thousands
who knew him to be all this, mourn
his loss, and revere his memory.
Faithfully,
Henry c. Hansbrough.

a husband, when provoked by false &C.
eusatons of infidelity, may be held to
de disciplinary rather than abusive and
cruel. The master also finds it diff
cult to sympathize very deeply with
one who received after the manner in
which she gave. It is by no means our
purpose to justify acts of personal vio-
lcnce in the abstract And as between
husband and wife, especially, such oc-
currences are unspeakably deplorable.
Eminent sociologists agree that our
state Of civilization has not entirely
outgrown the efficacy of the more
drastic corrective measures. There are
occasional infants, and adults, too,
whose inherent perversity yields to
nothing less potent than the descend.
ing rod. 1t is quite conceivable that
a wife's incessant and unwarranted &C.
cusations of infdelitv might arouse a
husband to an attitude of righteous re.
sentment.'
