Only Safe Course.

There is a supreme court justice in
New York city who is noted for his
severity. If he can prevent it, no gull
ty man escapes, and in his court very
few of them do
Last fall a man was on trial before
him for forgery. The prosecution, so
it seemed to most of the spectators,
failed to make out very good case;
nevertheless the jury came in with a
verdict, of guilty.
Later the foreman of the jury was
talking about the case with a friend
who had heard some of the testimony
I'VE weren't certain that we ought
to convict" said the foreman, in ex-
PLANTATION; but after listening to His
Honor's charge, all of US realized that
If we acquitted that fellow we'd b.
guilty of contempt of court"

Politician of Resource.

The earl of Morley, on his return
from Jamaica, remained a while in
New York, and at a dinner there he
told-apropos of acknowledgements
following story about a young English
statesman.
This youth" continues the version
in the Washington Star, ought TO get
on. He works hard. and nothing ever
troubles him.
HE wanted recently to push a bill
that had little support from his own
party. A friend, however. said to him
In a warning voice:
But suppose, my boy. this bill
should cause your party to throw you
overboard?'
"'Well, In that CASE he replied.
I'm quite sure I'd have strength
enough to swim across to the other
side!'"

pIanIfy the Task Before You.

Young men sometimes think 1t is
not respectable to be at work and
imagine that there is some degree Of
disgrace or degradation belonging to
toll. No greater mistakes could be
made. The most illustrious men in
history were hard workers. To be
idle and useless is neither an honor
nor a privilege. Look on labor as
honorable and dignity the task before

UnmoraI and immoral,

Ellis O.. Jones in L~lppIncott's:, Are
you immoral or immoral? Do not an
swer too quickly, for if you are only
immoral. we may be able to overlook
1t. Immoral stands to- immoral in
much the same relation as upregener-
ate stands to Degenerate. If you COM
init some act of which the arbiters
of ethics disapproye, the category that
you go in all depends on whether the
arbiters have previously brought the
ethical constitution and bylaws to
your notice. If they have already told
you that a certain thou-shalt-not ex-
lists, then you are immoral If you dis
obey it. If, however. you are still in
an untaught state of sheer savagery,
then you are merely immoral, and, in
stead of being the victim OF execra-
ton and contumely, you are entitled
to all the emoluments and perquisites
of any other savage. Ignorance of the
civil or criminal laws excuses no one,
but ignorance of the moral law does
count for a little these discriminative

Examiner,

Chicago, Aug. 21.-Money has been
raised to seven per cent. This now
conforms with abundant offerings of
commercial paper bearing the premium
mentioned and with the penalty impos-
ed on clearing house certificates. No
doubt not a few borrowers will demur
TO the higher charge. They may not
well comprehend why Z per cent should
De asked when certain credits are re-
stricted or entirely refused and at the
same time extraordinary facilities are
In hand to increase the money supply:
their comprehension may be the more
confused when they recall that there
was .367,360,93 of money in circula-
ton the first week Of the current
month. 1t Is traditional for the in ex-
port borrower to accuse bankers Of not
wishing to augment the commodity in
which they deal; otherwise stated to
suspect that bankers never avail them
selves fully in a crisis of the right to
increase the money supply, hat they
may get an unusual price for the mon
ey they have at their disposal.

.CROOKSTON LIBRARY
WAS B~URGLARIZED

Crookston, Mimi, Aug. 21.-The
Carnegie public library in Crookston
was entered some time during the
night and between Sc and $12 were
taken from the cash box. Nothing
else was found missing today.
From appearances, the thieves en-
tered by a lower screen first, but GO
ing up the steps that lead to the read
ing room and the Librarians desk,
they found the door locked and so
came down and climbed to the higher
screen or the south side and gaine5
entrance through the window and
pried the cash drawer open.
Miss Lommen, the librarian, found
the money gone when she opened UP
the library today. The police are
working or the matter, and arrests
will likely follow.

ness of yesterday coming "a lower.
Spot prices are steady with Manitobas
higher. Russian weather unfavorable
for harvesting he crop. Conditions
here are generally favorable on both

dence of new crop business and this
with the fact that northwest Is hedg-
ing new crop wheat should result In
lower prices.
Corn-Liverpool coolies come I'M

unsettled. Prices in u opinion should
work somewhat lower.
Oats-This market will follow wheat

oats have beer put in the pit the past
few days which will have to be digest
ed by the trade before prices will do
better. Ultimately we look for higher
