were no tracks to smell. So they had

WHY FRIDAY, THE 18TH:

Milo, the Bottineau county murder
on Friday, August 13. There is the
customary comment on Friday the
thirteenth" and this comment is al
ways to be heard whenever the sup
posodly unlucky day OF the week
happens to fall on the supposedly ,ln-
lucky day Of the month. 1t probably
makes little difference to man on
what particular day of the week or
month he is hanged. The thing of
principal interest to him is that the
date shall be as late as possible. 1t
seems, however. that to select this
supposedly unlucky time for the exc
cution Of q human being. when there
are so many other days TO choose
from, is to give encouragement, how
ever slight TO an old and silly super
Stitiun.
Friday has been. and we believe it
is still, The most popular day for exc
ruticns, for no reason that we know
Of except that ancient superstition has
declared the day unluclly. 1t has not
always so selected. nor is it now,
though the practice is very common
For many years Monday was hang
mans day i'll London. What the
practice Is there now we are not m
formed. The New York authorities
ignored precedent and superstition
and executed their gunner on a Mon
day. But most Of the executions, we
believe, take place on Friday. simply
because the authorities so decree it.
We submit that it would be in the
interest Of common sense to vary the
day occasionally.

BALEFCL DRUGS.

A great deal of attention has been
paid to the use of alcohol as a bevcr-
age, and continuous efforts have been
made to check the habit which is ad-
mittcd by all to contribute so largely
to the growth of poverty and crime.
While public attention has been To-
cuscd on this subject there has been
some oversight of the fact that the
use nf bit-forming drugs has been
growing at an alarming rate, and
that there is a vast increase in the
number of persons who are addicted
t" tn" use of these drugs. There is a
growing recognition of the conditions.

In the past it has been altogether
too easy to- procure these drugs. The
restrictions thrown around their sale
have been too few. and even where
there were legal restrictions it has
been comlGiratively easy for con-
sriencelcsS persons to evade them.
There is proposed in Minnesota Il
drastic law regulating the sale of such
drugs. According to the hill proposed
lie sale of babit-fnrmng drugs con-
trarN to law is made felony, and
sales may be made legally only under

BOBBY cooN,s CLOSE CALL.

\ close call means q narrow escape,
I; very narrow escape. And that is
what Bobby Coon had when he tried
to cross from the top of the big chest
tree. You see Bobby's mind was so
full of the idea Of getting into that
l,;g pine tree that he. forgot how
bright the light from Mistress Moon
was, so bright that of course the
hunters at the foot OF the tree would
see him the very minute he showed
himself
He was half way along the great
branch that reached over to the big
pine tree when he remembered the
moonlight. and just as he remember
cd he heard a great shout from the
hunters down below and he knew that
they saw him. 1t was of no use to
turn hack now. so he did the best
thing he could do-hurried ahead as
fast as ever he could.
Bang Bobby had almost reached
the big pine tree when the terrible
gun carried by one Of the hunters
startled everybody in the Green For
est with it's dreadful roar. 1t fright
ened poor Bobby so that he almost
lost his grip. He heard a sharp.
whistling noise. He didn't know eN-j
actly what it was. though he knew
that it had something to do with that
shot tearing up through the air close
to Bobby that made that whistling
sound. At the same time something
stung him sharply, so sharply that ne
almost cried out Three of the shot
had hit him. but because he was so
fat they had not been able to so
through and do him any real harm.
throat Bobby jumped for an out
reaching branch Of the big pine tree:
1t was lucky for him. very lucky. in
deed. that he jumped Just when he
did. Yes. sir. 1T was lucky for Bobby
Coon that he jumped Just when he
did, because-well because just as he
jumped there WAS another-dreedful
bang from that terrible gun. and this
time the shot struck the very spot
Bobby had just left.
Bobby scrambled into the big pine
tree, and there he. drew a long breath.
He knew that there he could not be
seen easily from the ground because
Of the broad, protecting branches Of
the pine. He looked across to the big
chestnut tree, and there he saw Farm
er Browns Boy Just starting to climb
tree that had forced Bobby to try to
get to the big pine tree. Bobby felt
in his heart that he hated Farmer
Browns Boy. and yet he had q queer
feeling that somehow 1t was because
of Farmer Browns Boy that he was
alive that very minute. And the fact
is, it was. You sae, just as the hunter
with the terrible gun had put It to his
shoulder to shoot at Bobby, Farmer
Browns Boy had yelled, and that yell
had so startled tho hunter with the
gun that he had missed. II It hadn't
been for that yell from Ii Farmer
Browns Boy there would be no more
stories about Bobby coon.
Farmer Browns Boy. pretended
that ne had yelled 'hecAhse he was ex,.

Grand Forks daily herald., 1914-12-07

Browns boy, and he sounded as if he
meant every word he said.
For long time that dispute as to
who should climb that tree lasted.
Bobby didn't stop. to listen to it very
long. 1t gave him Just the chance
he had been waiting for. and he took
it. He softly stole out along a branch
that reached over to a hemlock tree,
and from there RG1 reached another
tree in which was a hollow big
enough for him to squeeze into. Once
safely there he almost chuckfed to
think how lie had fooled those hum
ters. You see, he didn't know that
all the time Farmer Browns boy had
been watching him and at the time
when Bobby was getting from one
tree to another Farmer Browns boy
had pretended to be angricr than ever
SO as to keep the other hunters from
looking up.
SO. YOU see. that was case where
Bobby Coon's eyes and ,ears were not
to be believed. They told him that
Farmer Browns boy was an enemy.
which wasn't the truth at all. You
know and know and Farmer
Browns boy knows that il it hadn't
been for him something dreadful
might have and probably would have
happened to Bobby Coon.

NAVY SECRETARY JUDGES
"TIPPERARY."

St Paul Pioneer Press: At times
there appears to be something meti-
culous about the administration OF
. different departments in Washington,
and quite often the charge can be
lodged against the department OF ma
val affairs
Secretary Daniels has now declared
that it is lese majestic, or something
of that sort, for the military bands
to play the gong, IT'S Long Way
TO Tipperary." Quite without waiting
on the judgment OF posterity-not ad-
llering to the approved policy of
watchful walting-he dares venture
his Judgment in comparison with that
of the hundred years which have pro-
n0unced on the "Marseilaise" and
The Watch on the Rhine" Secretary
Daniels has declared that the national
march of the British is not according
to God Save the King" if that can be
marched to!-or Scots Wha Haze"
or the Men of Hnrlech." or even the
Wearing of the Green" The British
spirit OF the times Is expressed in
IT'S Long Way to Tipperaly," and
Americans. and American military
bands, cannot give voice to this ex-
preston without Infringing on that
voiceless neutrality which is the priz-
ed policy OF the administration.
Notwithstanding that this Irish

when it came out months ago, but
had to bide its time-watchful watt
ing, again!-the fact that the British
soldier. with his long marching step,
quite the longest step known to mill
tary man, is moving to it's cadence
constitutes it Il British possession. its

with Britain. We may be permitted

Grafton Of two scoundrels. is less like
ly to be committed than one which
can be committed secretly by one.
The drug doctor, that is. the man who
administers poisons in order to graft

reprobate, no matter what his social
or professional standing. He may
have slipped through q medical coll

be member of a medical association.
He may. indeed, be an able and sue
cessful practitioner, though if he had
adopted such practices he will not
long remain so. But all this makes
no difference. If he ma kes u business
of catering to morbid and depraved
appetities he is scoundrel, equally
with the degenerate who peddles

ly. one scoundrel does not like to

traffic will be formed, there will be
such a risk of one member peach

transacted will be reduced to the

Perhaps the Minnesota bill may not
present the best solution, but some
drastic remedy is needed. and it is to

OF LEROY TOWNSHIP DROWNED
In LAKE MADISON THIS
AFTERNOON.

Announcement was received in the
city about $3.50 this afternoon that
Elf Hide of Leroy township had
been drowned in Lake Madison. The
news came from the poor farm, and
called for help from the city to search
for the body. In a moment a dozen
automobiles were speeding toward
the lake with graphing hooks to rem
der such assistance as was possible.
No particulars other than the an
nouncement could be obtained at the
hour of going to press. Elf Hide
was a young married man. His moth
er was a departure a week ago on a
visit to her former home in Norway,
having been married the previous
evening to Mr.. A. l.. Hegdal. A sis
ter of the deceased was in j. A. John
sons store when the sad news was
broken to her, and she was much
grief stricken on account of her sud
den bereavement.

Henry Women Vote for a New
School House.

Henry, May 1S.-Many of the
women residents availed themselves
of the opportunity to vote at a spe-
cial election in Henry, when the
proposition of issuing bonds in the
sum of $4,000 for the erection of a
new public school building was sub
mitted TO the voters. The PROPOSE
ton carried by a heavy majority,
only AZ votes being cast in opposi-
ton. One of the features on the day
of the special election was a parade
of school children, who carried ban
ners with notices showing they fav-
ored the issuance of bonds for the
purpose stated. The board of educa-
ton has fixed June 13 as the time
when it will open bids for the cree
ton of the new school building. If
the bids r favorable, the contract
will be awarded without delay, so the
work of constructing the building
can commence at the earliest possi-
BILE date.
