Didn't Want Him.

Mike Hennesey, a hefty young
Irishman, secured his first foreman
ship after serving for some years as
one of the gang" Promptly at Z
o'clock in the morning he began his
duties by calling the gang to order.
I'VE all have to worruk for me-" he
shouted. ''Worruk, I say! And ]

at vance that I kin lick amy man
in the gang!"
All swallowed the insult except one
g1ant-built warrior, who stepped for
ward and said:
But you can't lick me, Mike Hen
nesey!"
"Oh, can't. can't I? yelled Mike.

termined answer.

tiers. A guest should try to appear IN
disturbed by any accident of the sort.
If a guest should be so unlucky as to
overturn a glass or have any other ac-
cident. it is best not to make profuse
apologies. Regret may be shown by
ones manner. Thus there is less inter
ruption to conversation and to the
smooth running of the dinner. By prao-
tice a young hostess may acquire facil-
ity in being able to talk naturally
while at the same time seeing that peo-
pie are served properly. II an order has
to be given It should be done quietly
and simply, without any mysterious
signals or loud whisperings. A hostess
should try not to make her servant
nervous by watching her too much as
she moves round the table.

query of her own: Was his name

the words, she was remembering those

stood, only a few hours ago, gazing
down at the inert bulk that had been
a man.

The Real Effect.

In regard to this a recent report of
the Canadian Government on iceberg
phenomena says: There is little
room to doubt that the real iceberg
effect is the rise of temperature, and
that the fall observed when a ship
passes abeam Of the berg) is due to
the colder current in which the berg
is being carried"
In some experimental trips when
icebergs were passed at a distance of
from a half to a quarter of a mile
there was observed first a rise of
temperature in the water, followed
by a fall as the berg was passed
abeam.
Similar experiments with the MI
GRO thermometer have shown that the
near neighborhood of land is be-
trayed by a fall of water tempera-
ture, and this is believed to be due to
the action of the tides and the OBJ
struction offered by the coast line,
resulting in a turning up of the under
water, which is always much colder
than the sea surface.

For once, Burke showed a certain
deliCaCy. When he had finished the
reading, he said nothing for a long
minute-only sat with his cunning
eyes on the face of the woman who
was immobile there before him. And
as he looked on her in her slender ele-
gance Of form and gentlewomaniy
loveliness of face. a loneliness intelli-
gent and refined beyond that of most
women, he felt borne in on his con-
seriousness the fact that here was one

the impression. II was to him pre-
posterous, for she was out of that
underworld against which he was
ruthlessly at war. Yet. he could not
altogether overcome his instinct to-
ward a half-reverent admiration.
And, as the letter proved,
she had been innocent at the outset.
She had been the victim Of a mis-
taken justice, made outcast by the
law she had never wronged.
His mood of respect was inevitable,
since he had some sensihilities. though
they were coarsened, and they sensed
vaguely the maelstrom Of emotions

CINCE the sinking Of the Titanic, a
y year ago, icebergs have been
studied as never before, and a
great amount Of curious knowledge
about these frozen monsters of the
deep has been accumulated, with the
result Of increasing the safety of
ocean navigation.
Just as a living being proclaims its
presence, even when it can not be
seen, by telltale sounds and vibra-
tons and by emanations which are
perceptible at surprising distances to
olfactory senses as delicate as those
possessed by some of the lower AMI
mails, 50 icebergs betray themselves,
in the darkness of the night or the
far more dangerous obscurity Of a
fog, by their effect upon the tempera-
ture of the air and the water.
A remarkable mechanical sense
organ, called the micro thermometer,
which is simply a Thermometer of
great delicacy and special construc-
ton, dragged through the water by a
ship, is now employed to measure the
changing temperatures of the water
IN the vicinity of icebergs, and some
unexpected facts have been devcl-
oped by its use.
A great steamship provided with
micro thermometers lowered into the
water is like a hunted deer shifting
the air with its sensitive nostrils and
detecting its enemies afar off.
How It Works.
These instruments reveal facts pre-
viously unknown about icebergs. They
show that there is a surprising sys-
TEN of currents around and under a
great berg, or a fleet of bergs, which
produce characteristic temperature
changes that may be felt miles away.
In truth, the iceberg is a great Their
mai engine surrounded by a medium
of air and water peculiar to itself,
and due to its action upon its envi-
ronment Upon the air Immediately
around it the berg produces a cooling
effect in consequence of the absorp-
ton of heat required to melt it. When
water freezes, 1t gives out heat; when
1t melts, it absorbs heat. One perilous

WILL HELP TO SOLVE
farm LABOR PROFILE

The First National Bank of Bottineau will be pleased to
render what assistance it can to it's farmer friends and patrons
in the vicinity of Bottineau in the matter of obtaining farm
help for the season of 1918 or any part of it. We would be
pleased to have you inform ~ as to what help you need and
when you will need it, stating as nearly as possible as to the
time you wish the help to begin and how long to continue.
We will thereupon communicate with employment agen-
:ies, railway offices and others having knowledge of available
arm help and will endeavor to get the required amount OF men
m the ground, and upon their arrival here we will know exact
ly where and to whom to direct them.
: With the cooperation of the farmers, bankers. business
men and commercial and farmers clubs it ehould be quite
possible to induce the required number of farm hands to come
here. We want neither too many nor too few. Past years
scarcity of men was mainly caused by the overinducements OF
previous years, many more having been induced to come to
North Dakota than could find work. This statement applies
more particularly to the Southern portion of the state, but the
Northern portion was the part that paid the penalty. --THE
