Daddy;s Bedtime
n. Some Nice
OTOTV- Stones Of the
Wise Ants

NE evening daddy noticed that Jack was unusually thoughtful and
spoke very little. What are you thinking about, SOM" asked daddy.
I'm just wondering, daddy" answered Jack, "f animals think
just as we do" = ~@ #& a%a @
"Whew," said daddy, that's a big question for such a small boy! Really
I do not think that question can be answered, Jack. Some wise men believe
animals think, others deny it. But even if animals do not think it seems to be
pretty certain that some insects do. There's the ant, for an example 1t often
acts as though 1t could think,
Some years ago there was a wise man who believed ants were able to
think He wanted to prove it. so one cold day when almost all Of his ants
a dead fly, pinned it on to a cork and placed it Just in front of the ant The
ant at ono tried to carry off the fly and was surprised to find that 1T could not
be moved. The poor insect tugged and tugged, first one way and then another
nest ~ %..
While it was trying to move the fly not a single ant had come out Of the
nest But the hunter ant went straight in and in a few seconds came out with
no less than twelve friends. 1t was an interesting sight to watch them march
straight to the body of the hy work away att 1t until they got it loose and then
carry it of.
Now, the first ant took nothing home with it, 81 it must have made its
friends understand in some way that there was food outside and that help was
needed to bring it in. If the ant did not think this out how could it have
brought help 20 quickly? '~" ~ s "
Another time this wise nan tells about an ant was hurt and lay help
lessy Of her side outside of her nest Several other ants passed her without
taking any notice, but 800 ecame up examined her carefully and carried
her off carefully to the nest OF course the second ant must have had some
thing like what we call a kind heart and must have been able to think that
the first ant needed help Perhaps the atsh have among themselves some
thing like u Golden Rule.
Once there WIS a poor al which hurt itself so badly that it lay IN it's
back and was quite helpless The wise nan says that the ants which be-
longed to the same nest we're unable to NOV the injured ant so for three
months unti it was well, they brought food to it and tended it carefully. The
wise Ia says he is quite sure that ants car think and have some way Of talk
ing Il n another, although, of course, they cannot talk a. folks do"

MONDAY, MARCH "a, 1918.
NORTH DAKOTA WEATHER.

Today, when tales are coming in Of
death, fearful suffering, losses that are
staggering, ruin and destruction
throughout large sections of the ma
ton, the people Of North Dakota can
again be thankful that they are living
where they are.
The weather here was somewhat dis
agreeable yesterday and today, but IT is
mild, and there is no hardship, no loss
of property and very little delay of
traffic or communication. This has
been true over every storm that has
swept the country this winter. They
have all missed the fiickertail state.
North Dakota has not had a really
disastrous storm, one occasioning loss
of life or wide destruction for years.
There has not been a storm that could
be termed q blizzard this winter or for
several winters, and yet there are
some people in the states, from which
these reports of fearful loss of life and
property are coming today, who be-
lieve that this state is almost CON
tinually in the grasp Of bowling,
snowladsn blasts during the entire
winter period.
North Dakota should be proud of it's
winters. They are not to be feared,
but rather enjoyed. There should be
a systematic effort to get the real
facts concerning North Dakota wealth
er before the world.

A CHANGE or SENTIMENT.

The British s~uffragettes continue TO
court the disfavor Of the masses by
burning, looting and committing other
acts Of violence. The unfriendliness
Of the people is manifesting itself now
in open outbreaks against the mill
tants. The suffr8Eettes are on the de-
fensive. While they continue in their
destruction of property and the utter
ances of the leaders more and
more extreme. the sympathy Of the
people has been withdrawn. The Lon
doners who once laughed at the suf-
fragette's extravagances, now curse
and follow their curses with mob vio-
lence. The police are quite as often
called upon to protect the women as
they are to arrest them.
The militants more and more DEM
onstrate that they are in no way prop
err representatives of the world suf-
frage movement. They are accord
ingly being assigned to their proper
place as q small sect of troublesome
extremists, who are as bothersome TO

logical enemies.
It is altogether a s~addening
spectacle of the degeneracy of a move
ment which, in it's inception, seemed
to be in the hands of fairly compe-
e persons. At the beginning there
was some coior of justification for the
s~uhragettss' tactics. 1t was the Gus
tom in England for dissatisfied elect
ors TO 60 out and smash a few win
.doWS. Therefore the suffragettes
smashed windows.
If they had stopped at this, no great
harm, possibly some good. would have
been lone. But instead of progressing
upward, they took the easier and more
logical way and progressed downward,
copying in turn the tactics of the sue
sceedinE strata of society until they
became practical anarchists. and AnaI-
ly little more than mentally distrauEht
thugs. Today they are losing caste
pfttfuliy fast.

DECISION OF The
SUPREME COURT.

In the supreme court, state of North
Dakota.
State of North Dakota, respondent,
VS.. James j., Reilly, appellant.
1. Information examined and held,
to sufficiently state the offense Of MUIR
der in the second degree, under Sec
lions 1888, 1896 and S912, revised codes,
accomplished by the unintentional kill
ing Of a human being while engaged
in the procurement of q miscarriage,
which was not necessary to Ia the
life of the deceased.
2. A trial judge has no right to ar
bitrarily discharge a regular jury panel
without cause and summon another for
the trial of a particular case. He may,
however, for reasons which, in the ex-
erciSe of his discretion, he deems suf-
fiCient, excuse jurors who have been
summoned, although such action may
recessitate the resort to talesmen or
the summoning of an additional jury,
and even though his reasons therefor
are not such as would constitute a legal
ground for the disqualification or ex-
emption Of such Jurors.
3. Where a panel has been properly
summoned, but only a portion thereof
appears at the trial, it is not necessary
for the court to delay the impaneling
of such jury or to postpone the trial,
nor 10 IL necessary for him to summon
other Jurors or to issue attachments
for the absent Jurors before proceeding
with the impaneling of those who have
appeared.
4. An objection that a question is
incompetent, irrelevant and immater-
ial, nc foundation laid and an improper
question-improper to ask for the
opinion of the DOCTOR" does not suf-
ficient1y raise an objection that some
Of the witnesses on whose testimony
the hypothetical question is based gave
their own opinions in addition to re-
citing the facts of their observation.
5. The question: Doctor, when
another physician is called in a ser
ious case. what is the custom of the
first physician, what does he usually
do? Tell him everything he knows
about the case?" is not vulnerable to
the objection that 1t Is incompetent,
irrelevant and immaterial, no founda
ton laid. and not in any way binding
Upon the defendant. If there is a gem
eral usage applicable TO a particular
profession or business, parties who en-
gage an individual in that profession
are supposed to deal with him accord

draws these words Of commentator
from even such a staid old conserva-
tive as The New York Post:
President Wilson's declaration of
policy with regard to China has evok-
ed hearty approval in the press. The
country is Enthusiastically with Mr.. VIII
son In his substitution of a policy of
outspoken and disinterested friendship
for the game of dollar dickering that
has gone on under the name of dip
lUmacy at Peking. Formal recognition
Of the Chinese republic is now regard
ed as a matter Of course.
Mr.. Wilson's abandonment Of the
Knox programme was probably made
easier for him by the fact that the
banking Arms through which our state
department has been acting were real
~ pleased to escape from an enter
prise which they had entered under
compulsion. But rel II opposition had
been forthcoming from Wall street.
the president would have acted just as
he did.
One feels instinctively that this Of
fer of the open hand OF friendship to
China Is in harmony with MI. Will
sons broad desire to bring about a
termination of the democratic ideal
IN every phase Of our national life.
Washington during reCent admins
trations, has fallen into the gold4lace
frame Of mind, not only with regard
to the White House ceremonial, but to
our whole attitude towards the sim
plictties of an earlier day.
The mere fact that We have a re-
publican form of government has been
considered no reason why we should
play the international game different
~ from the other great powers. The
equality of men, democracy, seIf-gov-
ernment-that was all we'll enough for
the Fourth of July oratory Of primi-
tives times; but, my lear man, what
have those things to do with China?
Well, it is good to catch again a
breath of the old Fourth Of July spir-
it. to hold out a hand to China be-
cause she is trying to be a republic,
to think a little less of the trade that
follows the flag and a bit more of the
flag and what It stands for. Mr.. Hunt

accommodate himself to this new
point of view, but millions of Ameri-
can citizens will experience no such

GRANDMOTHER USED sage TEA TO
DARKEN Her FADED OR GRAY HAIR

SO cents. Some druggists make their
own, which is usually too sticky, so
insist upon getting "Wyeth's'' which
can be depended upon to restore
natural color and beauty to the hair
and is splendid for dandruff, dry,
feverish, itchy scalp and falling hair.

says his customers insist on Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur, because, they say,
it darkens 30 naturally and evenly

simply dampen a sponge or soft brush
and draw it through your hair, TAX
ing one strand at a time. Do this at
