The music teacher smothered
his grief and his disappointment

so hopelessly.
Then a young Englishman
appeared on the scene, and he.

become one of the worlds great

For months he courted her,
and IN the end, the girl who had
withstood the passionate wooing
of her teacher, succumbed to that
of the stranger from a far land.
She went to Parma one day,
and told him that she was going
to give up her career, and go to
London and marry the English

music conservatory.
1t was Clara Corners. Parma
found her hiding in a corner of
the big music room, shivering
with fear, her eyes wild with the
light of the insane.
He spoke to her, and she did
not know him. But in the next
few days he learned from her
broken phrases what had hap
pened. The Englishman had
gone with her to London, and
there deserted her, leaving. her
without money, or hope, or good
name.
The tragedy of it had turned
her mind, and.it had done even
more. The first day after the re-
turn that Parma dared to attempt
a singing lesson, Clara Corners
opened her mouth and gave forth
only the ,discordant sounds of a
wild beast. Her voice had gone
utterly.
That was eighteen years ago.
Whether Parma through the
long, weary years. hoped against
hope that her reason would re-
turn; or whether he merely serv-

that unreturned love, never will
be known now.

that it seems good to get back to
North Dakota where the weather b
delightful. He says little concerning

While endeavoring to crawl up on

gun, Leonard Tostlerud, the thirteen
year old son Of Lars Tostlerud. a
prominent resident of the Knife river
country in Mountrail county, almost
shot his right arm completely off
when the gun exploded. The charge
covered the entire length Of the arm
and that member was torn from the
socket at the shoulder. The plucky
lad was taken home at once and as
the members of the family stood
around CRYING, the little fellow said:
you should not cry when I am not
crying. It was my own fault that the
accident occurred and l will have to
stand it."

up and there was a lively race with

Millions Of Bushels of Grain From the
Northwest to Pass Thru Minot Next
Month Enroute to American Mills

P. L. Hodge, representing P. B.
Mann & Co., of Minneapolis, returned
from 1900 mile trip thru the Can
adam Northwest. He informs us
that by reason of the Interstate Com
merce Commissions lowering the
freight rates on grain, the Canadians
can ship the product to the Amer
lean mills, pay the duty and still
make money. Consequently a large
part of the millions of bushels OF
grain stored IN the Canadian eleva-
tors, warehouses and granaries will
begin to move next month. The
trains will pass thru Minot and most
Of the grain will be shipped to Du-
luth. The Canadians IN former years
shipped to Port Arthur and Port VIII
liam.
1t Is estimated that there are 10.

in an agreement, to place their var

stitute an elimination committee.
with Simpson, OF Dickinson In the
field" Mr.. Devine said, II think it
would show very poor judgment for
four or even three Minot candidates
TO enter the race. This would give
the man from Dickinson too great a
handicap, and in my Judgment, not
Minot man would win out. The peo-
pie of the district as whole would
regard the spectacle of four Minot
candidates as an example of political
greed, and the result would he, none
of us would get the vote we are en-
titled to- While would be disap-
pointed, not to be the choice of the
committee, If it should select one Of
the other candidates, would never
murmur."
This is just what Mediterranean
has been advising the candidates to
do right along. Alfred Blaisdell and
James Johnson several weeks ago
declared that they would abide by the
opinion Of committee. Judge Da-'
Wis, who has reputation for fair
mindedness, would very likely be will
ing to go into this agreement, tho
we have not had an opportunity OF
