Gestures Part of Talk.

There is man who from a very
early age has lived in countries where
Spanish is the almost universal tongue
From force of this training he speaks
Spanish perfectly. He has not the
slightest trace of an English accent
and persons who do not know that he
is of American parentage are willing
to believe he is Spaniard merely
from hearing him talk He is so per-
fectly bilingual that it shows even in
his gestures When talking with Eng
lish speaking persons he sits quietly
and does his conversing with his
mouth alone. Only in case of making
point most emphatically does he use
a gesture But the moment he drops
into Spanish his every word is accom-
panied by a movement of the hands or
arms. 1t is interesting to watch the
change from the English to the Span
ish side of him: because it comes so.
suddenly. He really can't speak Span
ish without gesturing.-New York Sun.

Speaking of the work in Stevens
county. ]. L. Morton, Hancock,
said:-
"The value of the hogs saved by
the tireless efforts of County Agent
F. D. Hawk, of Stevens County,
is enough TO pay many times the
actual expense of hiring him. He has
been of inestimable value to the farm
ers of Stevens county.
"This year Mr.. Hawk has handled
over SO gallons of serum. He has
vaccinated or helped to vaccinate over
5000 hogs. Of this number about
fifteen per cent died in herds already
infected, while less than two per cent
died in herds not yet infected.
"There is no question that the chol-
era would have been much more severe
in Stevens county had it not been for
the work done by Mr.. Hawk in trying
to stamp it out wherever it appeared.
And this considers only one small
phase of the work that has been de-
manded of him.

Kalnes Sues for Libel

Glenwood Herald 81. M. Kalnes
has served notice on William Merrill
the present editor of the Starbuck
Times. demanding a retraction of
certain statements made editorialIy
in the Times in its issue of the week
before election. 1t is very probable
that Mr.. Merrill will refuse to accede
to the demands of Mr.. Kalnes and
that civil action for damages will
be the result. In which case this
county will have the rather unique
experience of having the owner of a
newspaper enter libel suit against
the lessee of his own paper. If libel
case results it will not come to trial
before the spring term of District
Court which will convene next spring.
A. L. Markve is attorney for Mr..
Kalnes in the matter.

NERVES AND WATCHES.
When They Don't Agree There Is Sure
to Be Poor Time.

When They Don't Agree There Is Sure
to Be Poor Time.
One of the troubles of watchmakers
is the man who gets on his watch's
nerves. There are lots of customers
on whom a good watch is wasted A
good second hand watch that has kept
perfect time for other people will with
certain other people go irregularly
when it is not standing still. 1t is
common knowledge in the trade that
watches are greatly Influenced by their
owners
Nobody knows the reason, but two
explanations have been offered. One
is that watches are sensitive to per-
sonal magnetism, the natural electrici-
ty that human beings contain in vary
ing quantities.
The other is that a watch may be
disturbed by the vibrations set up by
a footstep which is heavier than the
ordinary The man who puts his heels
down heavily usually needs to set the
regulator toward slow to keep it from
gaining
One of the mysterious sides of the
subject is that watches seldom keep
good time on people of nervous, excita-
BILE temperaments.-Pea Weekly.

Call of the Cumberlands"

There is truth and fidelity to nature
in ''The Call of the Cumberlands, -
Charles Neville Bucks great novel of
mountain life, which has been put in
to playing form by Hugo B. Koch and
will be the attraction at the Orpheum
theatre on Thursday, Dec. 10th.
"The Call of the Cumberlands" is
something new, something so entirely
out of the general run of plays that
it is quite refreshing to witness. In
the first act of this play, we are in
troduced to a different kind of people
than those we meet in our every
day life. The delightful wizardry
of the mountains seems to cover it
all like benediction. We can al
most hear the whippoorwill send his
mournful cry across the tree tops, a
young moon slips across the mountains
and Its beams reveal the flowing
rhododendrons and the glistening
laurels. All these impressions and
many more are conveyed to the spect-
,ator by the excellent scenic and cleo.
trical effects that have been provided
for this production by the producers.
Messrs. Gaskill & MacVitty, who
have also provided company that is
suited in every way to delineate the
various odd characters that move and
have their being in this drama.
Chief among these is Hugo B. Koch,
who in the part of Samson South, has
selected a character fitted in every
way to display his more than excep.
tional ability and who has already
established himself among all class Of
theatergoers as prime favorite anC
whose return to Morris in such an ex,
cellent part will be welcomed by his
many friends and admirers. adv.

the result of jealousy. Friends of the

A stab wound and not bullet
caused the death of Frank Hansel,
bartender, whose body, with that of
the woman believed to have murdered
him, was found in a gas filled room
at st. Paul.
When the mans body was examined
it was believed he had been shot, but
an autopsy showed that death was
caused by a knife, apparently thin
bladed dagger. The weapon has not
been found by the police.
The woman, who committed suicide
by inhaling Illuminating gas, was Mrs.

Death created another vacancy in

Mr.. Hall had figured more or less
prominently in political life of the
state since 1885, when he became a
member of the state senate from the
Third congressional district. Later
he served two terms as congressman
from the district in Washington.
Governor Johnson appointed Mr..
Hall to the tax commission in 1907
when the body was first created. In
1912 on the expiration of his term he
was reappointed by Governor Eber-
hart
Mr.. Hall was born in 1913 at Con-
