WHAT WOULD YOU DOT

PPesident-elect Wilson tells
the following story and adds: /:
what would you have done un-
der the circumstances" ~
A young Englishman went to
call on q girl friend, and. as is
the usual English custom. the
girls mother had to be in the
parlor also to act as chaperone.
While sitting stiffly in the par
lor, waiting for her mother to
make her appearance, the young
lady's nose started to bleed. The
young man had heard it stated
that a piece of cold metal applied
to the back of tile necn would
stop a nose bleed. While looking
around the room for a piece OF
metal, his eyes fell on the key
in the door. In his awkwardness
in taking the key out of the door
he accidently locked it without
noticing what he had done. While
applying the key to the young
lady's neck, the mother came to
the door, and finding it locked
demanded admission.
The young man became even
more nervous and dropped the
key down the young lady's back.
What would you have done under
the circumstances? ?-Ex.
Get the key at any cost.

COURT NEWS

BY mutual consent the Pecor
murder case is continued until
the next term of district court.
The Harry Colby horse stealing
case occupied the attention of the
court until Tuesday noon. 1t was
a bitterly fought case on both
sides. The attorneys on both sides
were at all times on the alert to
secure any advantage that was in
sight. In this case Colby had
been working for Dan Sweeney
in Elma township and in the alb
sence of Sweeney he took a team
and buggy, q gun, watch and some
clothes and drove to Hankinson
and on up through Abercrombie
to near Barnesville where he left
the team and buggy with farm
er. He Then went TO Moorhead
and from there he wrote to Mr..
Sweeney telling him where the
team and other property could be
found. The jury in this case, at
the time of this writing, had not
agreed upon a verdict.
The next case, and the last
one for this term of court, is
the state VS.. Dan Holden. The
charge was assault, the victim
being a little girl six years. old.
The case was dismissed.
Thomas Ironheart, one ;of the
young Indians arrested for. get
ting into. the girls dormitory. at
the Indian school plead guilty
to the charge and was sentenced
to 80 days in Jail. $50
The cases against the. other
two young Indians were dismissed
and they were turned over to the
superintendent Of the Indian
school by the sheriff. z

ed. There are a few court cases

.BNDEAYORS TO
BRlBE DIYE1
Former Drug store Proprietor Of
Devils Lake Arrested on tho
Above oharss.

Bismarck, N. D., Feb. 25.-Benl
j. Ness, formerly in the drug busi|
ness in Devils Lake, was arrested
this afternoon on warrant that
was sworn out by Attorney Gen.
eral Miller, charging Ness with
an attempt to bribe two members
of the legislature in connection
with the passing of the anti-snuff
bill in the house. Ness was ar
rested and his bail placed at
$4,000.
The men mentioned in the in
formation as having been ap-
preached with a bribe are A. G..
Divet of Richland county and L.
L. Twichell of Cass county. a
Attorney General Miller stated
that there would be further de-
velopments, possibly today, and
that he was looking for the men
higher up and that he had infor-
nation to the effect that there
were three officials, high in the
council of the American Tobacco
Co., in the city.
Twichell and Divet were seen
this morning and asked:
rs it q fact that Ness stated
to you, if the anti-snuff bill is
killed there will be q nice bundle
of money in it for you" The two
refused to answer, stating that
anything they said would be in
court or on the floor of, the house
when the matter came up for con-
sideration there this afternoon.
just what procedure will be fol
lowed is not known as those hav-
ing the matter In charge ,refuse
TO talk about It, but it is presume
cd that Ness will be called before
the house and charged with at
tempted bribery. The only pun
ishment that can be inflicted with
the house is Imprisonment for
the balance Sf the session, but
conviction and punishment by the
house does not prevent regular
court proceedings on charge of
bribery.

DON'T oREAsE 4 aopE

A few years ago I creased q 7-3
inch manila rope with beef tai
low thinking that the grease
would make the rope smoother,
more pliable and consequently a
great deal more durable. But
made a mistake, for the grease
fabricated the flbers of the rope
and thus encouraged them to slip
on each other, allowing the rope
to pull apart. I am convinced that
grease on a rope weakens itspull-
Eng strength and shortens its
life.-Farm and Home.
