Fortunately
She didn't see the looks the boarders
exchanged as she entered the crowded
room, and made her way slowly over to
the solitary little table where she sat
alone,
Everybody seemed to be given to un-
derstand simultaneously, that the old Miss
Vining was away on a visit, and a new
Miss Vining was there in her place.
Jim Ashton-one of Molly's beaux-hov-
cred over Miss Vining after supper-and
asked her why she didn't sit at the big
table with the rest of the boarders.
The two found themselves presently on
side piazza alone.
He took out a cigarette and offered
Miss Vining one.
She drew back in disgusted surprise.
No man had ever dared to do such a
thing to her beforel
"E-x-e-u-s-e me-" he remarked con-
temptously. "Gladys and Molly and
Mayme and all the rest smoke. and I
thought maybe you'd light up too, and
be good little sport"
"Give me one" she heard herself sud
denly saying to him.
She was playing the other girls game
and she thought she might carry it out
TO the bitter end.
Inside the parlor sat the young law
yer, who watched the two on the piazza
in silence.

Sheriff George Brown of Dickinson
was in New England last Friday and
arrested Austin Sabin who is wanted
by a sheriff in Wyoming. Sabin was
taken to Dickinson from which point
the Wyoming sheriff took him. 1t is
understood that Sabin is wanted for
disposine of %mortga9ed property.
When he came to New England last
fall he had a team and worked for a
time in the harvest fields. Later he
was convicted of blind pigging and
served a term in the county jail at
Mott. To guarantee the board Of his
son Sabin m%ortaaged the team to I. X.
Sheets, who boarded the boy for a part
of the time the father was in Jail. 1t
will be remembered that the Het-
finger county sheriff. held the team on
J the mortgage filed in this county last
spring, and the Wyoming sheriff was
unable to get possession of the team at
that time. The whole affair appears to
be a mixed mess. Sabin's young son
accompanied his father on the return
trip to Wyoming. The Wyoming sher-
if states that Sabin owns a saw mill
and other property in that state-New

Taxing State Lands.

which Will tax state lands ten cents
per acre and make that money avail
able for the building Of good roads.
Koochiching county has been cited
as the county which will benefit
most as it has about SO, 500 acres OF
state land. This Is one-third Of the
area Of Koochiching and as these
lands are now paying nothing the
settlers on the other thirds must bear
the cost for the entire county or do
without. They usually do without.
Beltrami county has 38.47S acres
Of state land which would be subject
to the ten cent tax. Should the bill
become a law. the county will have
$3,S47.s0 to add to its available road
and bridge funds. AS it is-now, the
county is building roads past many

Value Of q Good Sire.

III It appears 7to be the consensus of
opinion that the best way to

buy a few grade females and pure

females should be good individuals

With a good sire. the herd can be
bred up each year until at the end
Of four or five years the young stock
will be, 31-3e per cent the blood Of

Not q Personal Matter.

A friend of Mr.. Bryan was quoted
the other day in the New York Eve
ming Mail as saying that Woodrow
Wilson has never been known "a. do
/ O. generous political act in his whole
career. "A few days later: the corre-
|spondent of the New York Post in an
elaborate article from Washington
described how the hundreds OF DEM
ocratic pilgrims who have gone to
consult with Governor Wilson have
gone homeward disappointed and
puzzled because they found the
president-elect "a Sphinx, affording
them little enlightenment on the
various ambitions. they brought with
them. IT goes on to say: ..a
."They have found Mr.. Wilson, for
one thing, appallingly uniformed
and Indifferent to their personal con-
tributions to his election; it is
dawning upon them that he does not
regard himself as personally behold

party campaign; that their speech
making in aid Of their own re-elec-
ton and incidentally of the election
Of the national ticket did not create
an obligation which he as an honest
man is called upon to repay with pat
ronage or otherwise. They are be-
ginning to suspect that he thinks

Allouez Employees Joined by
Men From Duluth, Me-
sabe and Northern.
DAY SHIFT FAILS TO
REPORT FOR WORK
Walkout Orderly but None
the Less Determined;
Demands Not Given.

Duluth, Mimi, Aug. 6.-The dock
laborers' strike on the Allouez docks
at Superior spread to Duluth, Mesabe
and Northern docks here today when
the day shift quit. The demands OF
the men have not yet been presented.
Presumably they will be the same as
those Of the Allouez workers. The
number out Is estimated from 400 to
600.
F. H. Little, worker for the I. w.
w. who has been involved in the
Allouez strike, has been working to
get the Mesabe men to 60 out. Hand
bills were a potent factor.
The strike opened here in orderly
fashion. The night shift completed
their work and the day shift refused
to go to work, stopping work at the
docks. Officials Of the company claim
the men signed an agreement made at
the beginning of the season to work
through the season for the scale Of
wages specified at that time.
The demands of the Allouez men,,
which probably will be adopted by the
Duluth men also, are for $2.75 for days,
So for nights, $3.50 for Sundays and
35 cents an hour overtime.

pected to strike we're still working at

TRIES TO FORCE
OWN PROMOTION
ARMY OFFICER APPLIES TO
COURT TO ENJolN ELEVATION
OF A SUBORDINATE.

Washington, d. c., Aug. 6.-Major
Beecher b. Rays application for an
injunction to prevent Secretary Garri-
son from promoting another officer in
the army pay corps over his head was
denied here today by the district SUI
preme court.
Although Ray is In line of seniority,
the war department, in view of dis
closures before congressional CON-
lnittee. asked Attorney General Nc
Reynolds il the president might NOM
mate another man. Mr.. McReynolds
held that the president could. Ray ap-
realed to the court.
In it's decision the court held in
part:
THE court recognizes that some one
must have some discretion in the Sc
lection of officers to be promoted or
appointed to higher grade and that it
will be difficult to pass a law that
would operate automatically without
such discretion. The personal equation
Is one that must be considered and per-
sonal fitness for officers should be de-
termined by those who are responsible
for the proper execution Of the duties
of such officers.
"The question seems to be one for
an executive or administrative officer
rather than for one of the court
