time of the countess arrival, Florence
is in the act of opening her mornings

The countess thinks fast. At once
scheme enters her mind and she
turns the clock back half an hour.
Then, as Florence re-enters the room,

Florence, upon reading the letter, her
surprise is quite as great as the
countess was.
In the garden that evening, two
mysterious figures meet. One bears

THE CRIME OF A COURT.

A boy 20 years old, out of work
and hungry and who had been a waif
since childhood, was charged with
holding up and robbing man of
$1.85 and an overcoat in st. Paul,
MINI. Judge Grier M. Orr sentenced
him to 40 years imprisonment, prac-
tically a life sentence, a sentence
only one degree short of hanging
Judge Orr says the boy pleaded
guilty to first degree robbery and
there was nothing for him to do but
impose the sentence he did. But the
Judge was on the bench to protect
the interests of the youth, as we'll
as those of the state. Those of the
youth were sadly neglected and the
state was too zealously served. Judge
Orr should not have permitted the
youth to plead guilty to first degree
robbery if he was bound to impose
the sentence he did: 1t is not sur
prising that he should hear himself
criticized-New York Her.

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH VAL.
LEY CITY.

Harping on one subject is at tines
distasteful, NUT also necessary. The
Times Record has twice referred to
the carelessness of hotel men who
drive their push carts along the main
street between the hotels and the de-
pot.
Yesterday an incident occurred
which forcibly illustrates the need of
enforcing an order compelling them
either to be more careful or to keep
off the streets altogether.
A group of women were talking in
front of one of the stores, when one
of the hotel carts passed, struck one
of the woomen with the wheel, and
tore skirt so badly that it was com,
pletely ruined.
This was not case of young girls
blocking the sidewalks, driving limo.
cent pedestrians into the streets, but
of wanton carelessness which should
not be tolerated. In spite of the fact
that the public has been almost unani-
nous in commenting favorably upon
the Times Records suggestion in this
direction, nothing has been done, eth
er by the hotels or the city govern
ment to remedy the evil Cannot some
action by the council or the hotel own
ers be urged directly, through the pub
lie which is compelled at present to
suffer.

IlCkIN' STAMPS.

When you grab a bunch of stamps
and lick them carefully, one by one,
before affixing them to the mail mat
ter which you are sending out. do you
stop to think just what it is you are
doing.
These stamps, while put up IN
clearly factories, are handled several
times before they go into the users
hands. The clerks at the postofhce,
packers, ETC., each run them through
their fingers, and while probably the
hands of these handlers are as clean
as can be expected, there is great
chance for contagion and disease.
This is not an advertisement for the
postoffice department but it has been
suggested by Postmaster Pray that
those who wish may avoid the danger
of contamination if they will use the
stamp books which are for sale at
every mail window.
These stamp books come in various
denominations, and the price Of them
is small-one cent will pay the extra
cost for a stamp book made up clean
and sanitary, with waxed papers be-
tween the stamps, and convenient to
carry or keen filed away; and there
is no danger of losing the stamps.

With the primaries but thirty days
away, county politics is beginning to
warm up, and representation and
speculation as to the result of, the
contest for various Offices is increas-
ing.
Probably the most interesting cam
paign so far as the voter is concerned
is that for the Office of sheriff. Three
candidates are and have been, in the
field for more than a month. Of these
one lives at Litchville, the other two
in Valley City. All three have held
public office, one as representative in
the state legislature, another as sheriff
OF Barnes county for four years.
The third candidate, James Kelly,
is making mis- first campaign for an
elective Office, and is now, and has
been, for four years, deputy under the
present incumbent.
In public office, as we'll as in private
business, it is we'll established and
natural rule, that service we'll render.

ton. For nearly four years Mr.. Kelly
has served the county as deputy in
the sherlff's office. During that time
ne has not only made for himself a
reputation for faithful discharge of
duties, readiness to serve the public
and courtesy to those who transact
legal business with the office, but for
many months, when compelled by the
sheriff's illness, he took on his should.
ers the duties and responsibilities be-
longing to the sheriff, and gave unani.
nous satisfaction.
Mr.. Kelly is conducting an active
and energetic campaign to place his
merits before the people of the county
whether or not he will secure the
nomination will, of course, be in doubt
until the votes are counted on election
day. But it is a certainty that if the
tax payers of Barnes county believe
in rewarding work well done, in plac
ing responsibilities upon those who
have been trained to bear them, Mr.
Kelly will be the choice of a large
majority of voters next month.
