While in pasture a horse owned by
George Miller. a farmer of Seymour.
Conn. was choked to death by a swal-
low, says the New York Herald. The
bird. in blind fash. swept into the
animals mouth. momentarily opened
for an apple on an overhanging
branch. The horse tore frantically
about for several minutes. vaulted a
fence. and was dead when reached by
William Owens, farm hand, who wit
messed the incident. The bird, also
dead. was found wedged in the horses
windpipe.

Possesses All the Virtues.


ASmuscular maiden. Mdlle: Mallory,
A few days ago received the Rosiere's
prize at Vinay. near Grenoble, France.
A "Rosiere" is a maiden possessed of
all the virtues. on whom, on that &C
count, a dowry is bestowed either by
the mayor and corporation of her ma
tive place or by some benevolent don
or. Where are innumerable Rosieres
annu ALLY in France, almost one for
every hamlet; but Mdlle. Maliery
stands out from the rest. She is not
only Nirtuous, but strong. She is six
feet tall. and she can easily juggle
with weights OF one or two hundred
pounds. Her feats of strength are
many. One day one OF her fathers
farm hands drove up with sacks OF
wheat. One of them was too heavy
for him, and he asked for help. Mdlle.
Mallory smiled, and brushed him
aside.A She lifted the sack, weighing
over 220 pounds-as If 1t were a feath-
err, shouldered 1t, and carried 1t into
the granary. '.''-

The political campaign has certain

The political campaign has certain
" opened in dead earnest in North
Dakota. The fact that this state
leads off with its presidential pri-
mary on the 18th of this month is
the cause Of this excessive activity.
Clifford Pinchot is making speeches
for Roosevelt in the state, and he is
to he followed by James K. Garfield.
Several other Roosevelt speakers Of
national reputation are also to visit
North Dakota. The LaFollette
people are also awake to the situa-
ton, and a half-dozen or more prom
inent Wisconsin men members of
the laF toilette organization in that
state are to speak in this state.
The LaFollette folks seem to be CON
Quoting their campaign on the theory
that somethin might happen, :"
for they do not claim that, with
Roosevelt IN the field. they are like
ly to have many delegates in the Re-
publican national convention. Wis
consln is the only state that they
claim to certainty they will carry,
and. should they have majority in
North Dakota. there seems to be but
little doubt that the two states
named would be the length and
breadth of their following in the
convention.

those in Emmons county. 1t has been
