An Interesting Case.

In one Of his letters Horace Walpole
tells the story of sailor who had
broken his leg and was advised to COM
municsate his case to the Royal society
The account he gave was that, having
fallen from the top of the mast and
fractured his leg, he had dressed 1t
with nothing but tar and oakum, and
yet in three days was able to walk as
we'll as before the accident. The So
ciety was much interested, says Nor
man Pearson. who recounts the story
in "Spciety Sketches In the Eighteenth
Century" and asked for further de-
tails.
The sailor persisted in declaring that
he had used no other remedies, and a
considerable correspondence passed he
tween the parties. Finally, in post
script to his last letter. the seaman add
ed, II forgot to tell your honors that
the leg was wooden one"

CURIOUS ACACIA TREE.
Il Gets Psevish and Ugly and odorous
When Disturbed.

Il Gets Psevish and Ugly and odorous
When Disturbed.
In Idaho there exists species of the
acacia tree which Is entitled to be
classed as one of the wonders Of plant
life. When full grown it closes its
leaves together in coils each day ut
sunset and curls it's twigs to the shape
of pigtails.
When the tree has thus settled itself
for the nights sleep it is said that If
touched it will flutter as If agitated
or impatient at the disturbance. The
oftener, it is averred. the foliage is
molested the more violent will become
the shaking Of the branches. Finally,
it is further alleged. If the shaking is
continued the tree will at length emit
nauseating odor quite sufficient to-
induce headache in the case Of the
person disturbing the tree.
In Idaho it is called the ''angry tree
and it is said that 1t was discovered by
men who on making camp for the night
placed one end of canvas covering,
over one of the sensitive bushes, using
1t for support. Immediately the tree
began to jerk its branches sharply.
The motion continued with increasing
nervousness" until at last came a
sickening odor that drove the tired
campers to more friendly location.

AGAIN TROUBLE IN
THE NEAR EAST.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
treety of peace between Turkey and Bull
garia was arranged to be signed at Con-
stantinople on Monday, the situation in
the Near East is anything but satlsfact-
ory. No one seems to believe that the
truce which has been concluded to a
greater or less extent among the various
combatants will last for any length of
time. Radicalli lines have been disregard.
ed too hagrantly in forming the new
frontiers. Late dispatches say that a
force of $1,000 Mohamedan Albanians,
equipped with modern arms, advanced
against Kitchevo and other towns, now
in the hands of the Servians, last Satur-
day, and that it will be several days be.
fore the Servian commanders can mobil-
ize force strong enough to meet this
uprising. Friction between Turkey and
Greece is rapidly reaching an acute stage.
1t is SAID that the powers will veto any
attempt of the Turks to seize Kavala.
Turkey, iteelf is in the hands of an all
powerful military party. The failure of
the powers in all these negotiations has
had bad moral effect upon the Aarious
belligerents, as they no longer respect
these leading nations in their alleged
ability to enforce whatever position they
may take. King Constantine Of Greece
in London conferred, on Saturday, on
the situation with Sir Edward Grey, the
British Foreign Minister. Greece is
preparing for third Balkan war.

Warning on Seed
Potato Selection.

In the matter OF seed selection for the
next seasons potatoe crop, Grand Forks
Potato dealers are issuing a warning
which should be nseful to the North
Dakota Potato grower. 1t is pointed
out that the potato with the pointed
|seed and many eyes has driven potato
growing out of some of the largest and
best potato growing districts of the
United States.
Potatoes that yield we'll and are high
in quality are round. oval or oblong.
The first sign of degeneration is that
one or more potatoes in hill show point
led seed ends. With this defect always
comes an increase in the number of eyes
q marked decrease IN yield and a still
greater in quality. The yield becomes so
small that the crop is Improbable, the
eyes become so numerous and deep that
the waste in cooking is is excessive and
the flavor and appearance of the cooked
potato are at least Indifferent.
When one potato in a hill has sharply
pointed seed and many eyes; all of the
potatoes in that hill should be rejected
for seed. no matter how choice they may
be. That hill has started on the down.
ward road in both production and quail
ty.
The potato with the pointed seed and
many eyes has almost killed potato grow
ing in large areas IN Iowa and has made
the Iowa grown potatoes considered
undesirable among buyers who want
quality. 1t is seriously reducing the
profits from growing potatoes in Kansas,
Missouri and Illinois. This type of. po-
tato is as Improbable unproductive and
undesirable as is the ''razor back'' hog,
yet thousands of men who are good farm
ers in every respect. plant it. The pota-
to with the pointed seed end and many
eyes, when used for seed. will cut down
profits faster than bugs, blight and scab.

SEWER FAMILY SUING GOVERNMENT

of General Sewer, first
Governor of Tennessee, have enter
ed a claim against the United
States Government which has been
approved by the United States
court of claims, aggregating nearly
81 ,OOO,OOO,OOO. The claims are for
trades of land that General Sc
yier sold to the Government for
Indian reservations and for purposes
of settlement, and for which the
descendants of General Sewer claim
no payment was ever made. The
Government is said to have given
notes for the land, bearing interest
until paid; and the aggregate amount
of principal and interest due since
the last claim was surrendered to
the nation in 1903 is nearly one
billion dollar.
There are less than 100 descend
