SOME CIGARETTE SMOKER

The party who broke into my
store last night must be some Gig
arctic smoker, 80 said S. A. Moses
this morning as he related an ac-
count of burglary pulled off at his
Magnolia street store some time dur
ing Sunday night.
A side window had been forced
open and the store pretty thoroughly
rifled. The only goods actually miss
ed from the stock was II, 900 Pied
mont cigarettes and $500 Fatima
cigarettes, the value of which foot
up considerably over a hundred dol
lars
Doubtless other goods were also
taken, but in smaller quantities and
not missed from the wholesale stock.
The bold, bad burglar certainly
had penchant for the festive Gig
arctic and Moses says if he attempts
to smoke them all the undertaken
will get him soon. On the other
hand, if he starts in the wholesale
cigarette business he'll create a sus-
picion in the sheriff's office So in
either case, tho there is no present
clue, the jail will probably come 20
its own before long

First of all. I'll say that the most deli

in southern waters. War was desired, not
with the United States. particularly, but
with any nation. IL an excuse, good or
bad, could be found for the beginning Of
hostilities.

were ready for action. Happily, through
the wisdom OF Washington, the signal
for war was not given by this country
and the poorest sort of a signal would
have answered the purposes of the men
who were determined that a war should
be brought on. The assassination of the
Austrian grand duke was the small oc-
currence seized upon for the opening OF

Washington. Dec. 10.
Arising at school, on a Friday after
noon. John Burke said: "Hurrah for
Mcclellan and the Union
John Burke was four years old. It was
his first speech. Mcclellan then was the
military hero of the North. John Burke's s
mother was n Democrat Furthermore,
she was Irish and belonged to the Catho-
lie Church. The same can be said Of
John Burkes father.

The war boards of Germany, Russia
and the allies cannot teach John Burke
anything in the line of tactics or strategy.
John Burke. as may have been guessed
by the office he holds and the parents
he had, is a Democrat. Nevertheless, he
has been in the public service on and off
for twenty-five years-and in North Da-
kota, Republican State. He was gov
ernor Of that commonwealth for three
terms At Baltimore, in 1872, he was al
most nominated for Vice President
The figures OF his contests when he
was up for governor are astonishing. At
the first election, in 1906. John Burke ran
ahead of his ticket by some 1900 votes.

date. His lead over his ticket in 1910 was
1900 votes.
The three legislatures which served
while he was governor were, as he ex-
presses the fact, overwhelmingly Re
publican" All of the State officers but
himself were Republicans. Even so,
many of the modern laws Of North Da-
kota bear the imprint Of John Burke at
their tops. along their margins and at
their ends.
There was period of twelve years dur
ing which John Burke spent all Of his
time practicing law at Devils Lake. He
stumped in every campaign. but he did
not ask for Office himself Then-suddenly,
il might almost he said-he locked his
desk. got into an automobile and from
