Automatic Professor.

The automatic professor is a me
chanical means Of teaching language
which has just been introduced and
which promises to become a favorite
because OF the ease and convenience
with which It enables one to acquire
language. The device consists Of a
combination OF the phonograph With
a piece Of mechanism which operates
a reel on which are printed words
and sentences 80 that the student is
enabled to see the word at the same
time that he hears 1t. The phono
graph alone has already been utilized
for the teaching Of language with
some success, but the efficacy Of the
new combination is much greater and
the student acquires a greater famil.
iarity with the language, both written
and spoken, in less time. It is also
applicable to elementary instruction
in music.

Indians Have "Elrewater.n

dian royal mounted police at Chipe-
wayan station 1t seemed Incredible,
for 1t was said to exist In country
that even the map-makers had left

the Ray river country to investigate,

he found happy lot of Indians
among whom "flrewater" was quite as
common as it used to be down in Ken
lucky. He found that nearly every
buck" was the proprietor of "brew-
cry" and that life south of the Great
Slave lake was one long and joyous
spree. A strange white man had sold
the secret of making "firewater" to
the Indians, and they we're making a
brew" of potatoes, hops, sugar, and
yeast, which, when allowed to fer.
ment, was strong enough to cause In.
toxicatlon. During the summer
months the Indians raised potatoes
for this brew, but in scarcely any i'm
stance can they be persuaded to grow
anything for food.

DISSERTATION ON THE INCOME
All Interested In the Subject Which
10 Treated Hero In a Joeuiar
Fashion.

Incomes are now being taxed. It is
therefore desirable that something
should be known about them. An In
come is anything which you cannot
live upon expressed in terms of lawful
money. Lawful money is anything
which will be accepted by the mem
bers Of state legislature or a police
captain or your wife. Incomes were
created for two purposes: to lie about
and to live beyond. Many people who
Will not have to pay any are COM
planning to their friCa5q and neigh
bors about the way they are oppressed
by the incorle tax. This is one of
those natural phenomena which no
scientist has been able to explain.
Incomes vary in size according to
how many people have worked for you
In the past or are working for you at
present. No income is without honor
somewhere, except In the family 1t is
vainly attempting to support. Here
1t Is generally despised and looked
down upon.
An income tax Is an effort on the
part Of the government to make you
feel that you are wealthy. Also to
support the government in its main
business In life, namely, living beyond
its income.
The government, which receives a
larger income than any one else,
should be taxed upon 1t. The proceeds
might go toward relieving millionaires
in distress.
Every income is known by the
company it keeps-Life.

Curse Of Luxury.

The most judicious historians, the

BIBLE TRANSLATED
FROM THE HEBREW
FINISH OF NEW BOOK is CITED
AS "PEAcE OFFERING TO NON
JEWISH People,"

New York, Feb. 1.-THE first trans
lation OF the Bible from the original
Hebrew, the completion Of which was
celebrated Tuesday night, marks the
beginning of other translation into
English, which speakers declared was
the intention Of the committee in
charge Of the work. DR.. Solomon
S~chochter, president of the Jewish
Theological seminary, said it was very
important that. the Jews begin in the
near future the work Of translating a
commentary in which, he said, Chris
tan scholarship preceded them.
Marks Epoch, Says Schif.
"The completion Of his work marks
an epoch," said Jacob H. Schiff, who
presided. I'VE shall now have a Jew
ish Bible printed in a language which
our children can read"
This Bible" said DR.. Kaufman
Kohler, "is free from sectarianism
and Jewish bias. 1t is Jewish in that
1t has taken cognizance of the usages
or the s~ynagogues in the order In
Which the books are presented.
Peace Offering, Says Kaufman.
I'VE present this translation as a
peace Offering to non-Jewish people
and hope that 1t will serve a link to
bind the English speaking world more
Closely"
The new Bible represents a compro-
mise between the so-called conserva-
tive and progressive branches of Ju-
daism. The diction and phraseology
or the King James version are used.

GOOD ROADS BILL
..... PASSES The HOUSE

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE Shackle-
ford bill under which the federal gov
eminent would distribute $25,00O,000
for good roads among the various
states, conditioned upon a dollar for
dollar appropriation by each state, was
passed by the house by a vote Of 2S2
to AZ, and now awaits action by the
senate. Its passage followed several
days Of debate.
House Leaders for Il.
Democratic Leader Underwood, Re-
publican Leader Mann and Represen-
tative Hinebaugh Of Illinois, the rank
ing: progressive in the city, all voted
for the measure.
Stevens Votes Against it.
Representative Stevens was the only
member Of the Minnesota house dele
cation to cast his vote against the bill.
Stevens voted against the measure
on the ground of economy. He said
that the appropriation provided. would
do no substantial good in any state,
and pointed out that whereas New
York, which has extended $125, 5000, 900
for road improvement, expends 100000
a mills on roads, the Shackleford bill
limits the per mile disbursements to
$50.
Doubt is expressed that President
Wilson will approve the Shackleford
bill. s-
What Minnesota Will Get. "
Under the authorization conveyed by
the Shackleford bill Minnesota would
receive a minimum of $462, 500, and a
maximum of $746,250; North Dakota.
minimum $203,750, maximum 1882, 500;

DULUTH COMPANY
STRIKES RICH ORE

Crosby, Mimi, Feb. 12.-Systematic
drilling of an area of 2,000x600 feet in
section q. township AZ, range 20, has
proven that the Guyana Central Iron
Co. of Duluth, one Of the latest
to enter the field, has n mine in pros
pect that will equal. If not surpass,
any other property on the Guyana
range.
The exploratory work has been done
by the Plymouth Exploration Co. of
Minneapolis, with Ira b. Gorham in
charge. The ore body has an average
depth Of $50 feet, and assays taken
from the various holes have run as
high as SIS per cent metallic iron in
the hematite, and q goodly per cent in
manganese, in the ma~nganiferouS
lenses.
AS the Cuyuna-Centrals property is
near to the Iron Mountain mina, and
adjoins the rich Hunter tract, it is not
surprising news that this company has
developed a large body Of ore, and
there is every reason to believe that
the claim Of the officers that they
have the largest high grade body Of
ore on the Guyana range, may prove
true.
In the northeast quarter Of the
northwest quarter Of section q, town
ship At, range 20. further work has
been started by the Cuyuna-Central
Co. The first hole found ore at a
depth OF 10 feet, and indications are
that it will likewise prove to be high
grade.

Secretary Redfeld announced that il

compete with the products of our own
factories, but rather that it's import

or else reduce them.

SHERIFFS MEET.
AT JAMESTOWN

Jamestown, N. D., Feb. IA bust
ness convention Of the sheriffs of North
Dakota was opened at the city hall
Wednesday by Sheriff Dwyer of Ran
SON county, who acted as temporary
chairman at the meeting called for the
purpose of perfecting an organization
for special purposes. About half the
counties in the state were represented,
Deputy Sheriff Dickinson of Cass coun-
ty was elected secretary, and consider
alton of bylaws and other matters was
had during the day.
The principal object Of the meeting
is to secure a uniform system of con-
Quoting the business Of the sherif's
office. Nearly every sue official is
said to have a different method of con
Quoting his office business, and as many
changes have been made in the laws
governing the sheriff's duties, it is de-
sired that a uniform system be prepar-
ed and followed. No special legislation
is desired at present, but some plan to
give information to the manner OF
handling the office business in every
sheriff's office in the state is being
worked out, and will be presented to
the sheriffs later on.
