Neatly Evaded Apology.

One day, Beckmann, the comic &C.

known newspaper editor, Frankel by
name, in one Of the characters he was
representing in Berlin. He perform.
ed his task SO ~cleverly that at the
close the audience broke out into loud
calls for Frankel. The journalist
brought an action, and Beckmann was
condemned to go to the house of the
insulteT party and there beg his par
don in the presence of witnesses. At
the hour appointed Frankel sat in the
circle of his family, together with a
number of relatives and friends whom
he had convened for the occasion,
waiting the arrival of the delinquent.
He tarried long, and half an hour had
passed in weary suspense, when, at

W~oodchuck's Name.

One of the most noticeable traits a
woodchucks is the throwing up O,
large piles of dirt in front of the,
burrows. 1t is from this practice tina,
the woodchuck got his name. In olde,
unexpectedly in the time of Aeso,
the lower animals used to live IL
one happy country with a Judge owe,
them, the dog. One day a rabbi
whose burrow adjoined that of a mar
mot complained to the latter that IT,,
rabbits eyes continually hll,i
with the dirt which he threw out O.
MS burrow. The marmot paid n.
heed to this remonstrance, and Y,
rabbit was compelled to appeal t.
the judge. His honor immediate,
sent word to the offender that greater
care must be taken In the future. B,.i
the insolent marmot, notorious for hi,
incivility and Indifference, replied t.
the messenger that he would chuck
MIS- dirt just where he pleased.
That settled it. The dog has beel

PUTS BLAME ON PUBLISHERS
Scholar Points Out How They Are

On heavy paper, with wide margins, TO-
make is al bulky as possible. The

the price.
The publisher would rather have the
sure thing Of eight hundred copies at
S. than take the chance of selling sew
eral thousand copies at 81. Theoretic-
ally, books in the library circulate; but
1t is notorious that people seldom go
to a library for a serious book. A
reader whose habits or tastes would
attract him to a new biography, say.
wants the volumes on his shelves. II
1t is really worth the trouble of read,
Ing he will almost certainly wish to
refer to 1t again. He cannot trot down
to the library for every reference. A
reader of such habits or tastes wishes
to possess the books in which he ia
really interested. If he cannot afford
to own the book he probably will not
read it at all. What circulates from
the library, besides fiction, is Taine'a

THOUSANDS
Harvesting Of Crops Will Demand
More Men Than Ever Before.

Grand Forks.-The commercial clubs
OF North Dakota are making a can
vass of the labor situation in the state
this week, to ascertain just how many
men will be needed to harvest the
North Dakota crops. The labor de.
7mand will be the greatest in the his.
tory of the state. The largely In
creased acreage and the fact that the
crop outlook is now about normal for
the state makes it certain that farm.
ers will require more help than they
have had in previous SArs.
From LaMoure county comes the re-
quest for 5000 men, while iFoster,coun-
ty reports the need of 1000, men. 1t
will be impossible to even estimate
the number of men that will be re-
qu1red in the state for two or three
weeks, but the number will mount into
the thousands.
I'VE have received some reports of
bad hailstorms in the state, but the
areas swept are sc small, compared
with the whole state, that they do not
AFFECT the crop situation TO any appre.
ciable extent" said Director Thomas
Cooper of the Better Farming associa-
ton, while in Grand Forks. The
crops look fine everywhere. Men who
have been studying the outlook say
this will be the banner harvest in
North Dakota. The farmers are jubi-
liant owe the prospects. We are all
feeling encouraged. According to fig
ures from Washington, there are no
less than 100000 acres of grain in
this state. 1 look for the crops this
fall to be worth $780, 900, 900. =

ATTITUDES IN UNITED STATES.
Differences Between East and West
Are Remarkable In Their
Wide Variety. {,

The differences between the eastern
and western elevations in this country
are curiously striking. Colorado has
40 peaks that are more than $4,000
feet about seq level. Mount Washingl
ton, In New Hampshire, and Mount
Mitchell, in North Carolina, the high
est peaks in the Appalachian system,
north and south, respectively, are cons
siderable less than half as high as
this above the ocean.
Several transcontinental railway
lines in the west pull their main line
trains over greater elevations than
that reached by the cog railroad up
New Hampshire's aforementioned
peak. These western elevations are,
of course, reached gradually.
Most large cities lie low. Chicago
is only about 600 feet above sea level.
and Pittsburgh but 100 feet higher.
Philadelphia ranges from sea level to
a height in its suburbs of some 800
feet. Minneapolis, lei the head OF
the Mississippi, has an elevation of
less than 1000 feet, and various parts
of New Orleans at the mouth of the
great river are recorded in the gov.

from one to fifty feet. St. Louis lies
about half way between these ter
