entire afternoon, resulting in the
conviction of both the negro ard

Tne woman's trial was held first.
While the jury retired, to act upol
this case John Berryhill's trial was
begun. In sentencing the two to
indeterminate terms in the pcniten-
tiary, the minimum being one year
and the maximum Is years both
made strenuous objections to the
proceedings, becaude the prosccut-
ing witness failed to put in an ap-
pearance. Lane, the man who had
been robbed, had appeared before
the grand jury and gave evidence
upon which they had been indicted;
but for some unknown reason he
failed to- make his appearance to

arms around him holding him while
she took from him 800 in money. a

From figures as compiled by the state

counties it is shown for the first time
just what the amount is that the rail
roads traversing North Dakota pay into
the state treasury. 1t amounts to a
total Of 1889, 346. 09 for the year 1912,
the largest amount by far being the
tribute levied upon the Great Northern
road, it's tax being 1852, 1913 IS, more than
one-third of the total amount paid by
the eight lines Of railroad trayerslng the

The other roads are either small farm

tin theater. where the piece was being
performed. Eugene Chevalier appear
ing as the man of destiny. They
bought a box. but had hardly entered
it when the emperor broke forth in
violent execrations against the fool
managers" 1t seemed that the decora-
tors had left in the box pots Of oil and
paint, and into these the emperor had
stepped. Wild with rage. he rushed
from the house and to make matters
worse was recognized in the lobby. No
paper mentioned the incident. but by
order of the emperor the play was
never produced again. and Chevalier
never appeared again as the man Of
destiny-and all on account of a little
paint badly applied.

DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS FOR 1914

Are you aware Of the fact that there
has been persistent effort on foot to bring

country? Do you know that by this
means the vested interests, HIS we'll as

condition of affairs that will cause a
halt in the progressive program that
the democratic party has already so
successfully inaugurated? Do you
know that by this means they seek 20
bring about the repeal Of reform legisla-
ton already enacted: Do you know
that the only way to check this is to

mills at Crockett, California, employing

account of this reduction of the work

CANOPiES ON THEIR HEADS,

Hats In the World.

People of Korea Wear the Largest
Hats In the World.
What would you think Of a hat that
was so large it would safely shelter
your father, mother. sisters and your.
self under it should IA sudden rain
storm come up? The men of Korea
like these enormous hats and would
not feel properly dressed without them.
These hats look like great flower pots
set on a round table six feet across.
The crowns are nine feet in height and
three inches wide. much like a chin
ney on a one story house. How do
you suppose these large. round head
coverings are kept on? Under the
brim is a small. closely fitting cap, held
on by a padded string which ties under
the ears. The material Of these hats is
bamboo. so finely split that it is like
thread. and lastly they are vanished
to keep out the sun and rain and the
wind.
You know that the Korean people al
ways wear cotton clothing. so these
big hats protect them far more than
our hats possibly could. In the rainy
season cones Of oiled paper are at
tached to the big bamboo head cover
ings in the shape of tunnels, so, 1 sup
pose. that the rain pours off of them
just as water does off a ducks back.
A Korean keeps his hat on when we
should take it off. Soldiers wear black
or brown felt hats decorated with red
horse hair or peacock feathers, and
hanging from the sides. over the ears
and around their necks are oval balls
Of porcelain. amber and a queer kind
Of gum.-Sunbeam.

The new income tax law will effect
the income Of farmers the same as city

The ordinary man. be he farmer or city
man, has to pay ! per cen on whatever
amount his net annual income Is in en-
cess of $1,000. If he is q married man,
tion is $4,000. The tax is then l per
cent on the amount in excess of these
figures up to the limit of $4,000 a year
net income, when the tax assessment
increases. The law is specific on the
point of figuring up the net income, the
deductions that shall be made, which
are listed as follows: t'irst-the ne
cessary expenses actually paid in carry
ing on any business, not including per-
sonal or living expenses. This would
include the wages paid hired men, cost
of food and seed purchased and so on.

year by taxable person on indebtedness.
This would include interest on a mort
ga ge on the farm. the stock or machi-
merry. Third-All national state, county,
school and municipal taxes paid within
the year. Fourth-Losses sustained
through the year. incurred in trade or
arising from tires, storms and so on, and
not compensated for by insurance. This
