THIS PASTOR WAS NO SPORT

A young man anxious to nave
some one wrestle with his dark angel,
announced dramatically to his pastor
as they were walking down the street
that he was tempted to break one of
the commandments. His pastor, al
ways effective and original, be-
thought him of a homeopathic cure,
and responded coolly: 'Well, why
don't you do it?" The wrestling
match was off. The dark angel
sneaked away without peep. The
boy went home feeling as if he had
been spanked and laughed at. The
parson was no sport.

SLEEP FOR NERVOUS PERSON
Application OF Warmth, Outside ana

A hot water bottle covered with
flannel should be placed at the feet.
A very thin silk tissue bag of rubber
partially filled with cold water
should be placed at the base of the
brain. This bag can be about ten
inches long and six inches wide, soft
as silk and only half filled with cold
water, so that it does not feel bulky
back of the head. In many cases
the patient goes to sleep within a
few minutes with this treatment, be-
cause the blood is drawn from the
active brain, which is one cause of IN
somnia.

not retard the flow of blood from the
head to the arteries, but it does re-
tard the flow to the head, just as the
cold water assists. All of these
methods are simple, effective and
harmless.

An exchange says a Pittsburg
(Penn.) man has refused a for
tune of fifteen millions of dol
lars because he does not care
to assume the worry and respon-
sibility such a fortune would
entail. That's a fact. These
big fortunes do entail an i'm
mense amount of worry and for
that reason we have concluded
to remain in the country news

carries no worry, no anxiety, no
responsibility and no fortune.

Is there to be no explanation
from those responsible, telling
the taxpayers why the state tax
rate was increased this year 22a

growing in the state that there
is a woeful lack of common

our state government. There is

letter is as follows:
Dear Mr.. Mattingly: Your favor
of recent date addressed to the state
commissioner Of agriculture of this
city has been handed to me for re-
ply.
] beg leave to advise you that you
did see sample of canary diamonds,
found in the Missouri slope, that l
had at the first industrial exposition
held in Bismarck. The same were
tested by Reed Bennett & Co., whole
sale dealers of Minneapolis, and were
pronounced fine grade of canary
diamonds.
The one that you saw was valued at
about $50 per karat. You are prob
ably aware of the fact that canary
diamonds do not rank in value with
the pure white or steel blue. This
stone was found in Mercer county
along the Missouri river and was large
enough so that four cuttings were
made from it. In appearance it re-
sembles a yellow topaz, but in test
ing the degree of hardness showed
that it was diamond.
Very truly,
