The little four year old boy Of
Clarence Johnson, of the West hotel,
strayed down to A. N. Lodoen's
blacksmith shop last Friday and
while looking at the man working at
the anvil, a small particle of iron
struck him in the eye, causing great
pain. The little fellow was taken to
an oculist at Crookston for examina-
ton, as it was feared he might lose
the use of the injured eye, but we
learn that the injury was not serious,
and that the eye will be all right
again.

MARRIAGE LICENSES SCARCE

It seems that when Marshall coun-
ty young people work, they work
hard, and pay little or no attention
to darts from cupid's bow. Owing
to the busy threshing season
since the last report only one couple
has found time to secure a marriage
license. This was issued to R. S. Dun
lop and Enley Katherine Gilmore. It
can be expected that after the crop
is stored in the granaries, clerk of
court Swandby will be swamped by
parties who wish to secure the pro-
per licenses.

WARREN SCHOOLS
OPENED MONDAY
Faculty and Pupils After A Refresh
ing Vacation Resume Daily.
Grind.

With many new pupils present
from the country schools and sur
rounding towns and with a splendid
attendance, the city schools opened
Monday afternoon for the fall and
winter terms.
q The task of arranging classes is
well on the way to completion and
the members of the faculty are we'll
pleased with the smoothness where
by all the arrangements were made.
Superintendent Mitchell, in speak
ing of the opening, stated he was
well satisfied that this school year
will be one of the most successful
in the history of the Warren public
schools. There is one drawback,
however, he says, and that is the
lack OF accommodations in the, way
Of class rooms, which is due mostly
to the large increase in membership
of the different high school classes.
Instead of teaching chemistry as one
subject, the board of education has
decided to make two classes, one for
the boys and one for the girls, the
boys to take up Industrial Chemis-
try and the girls Household Chem
istry. The normal department is
progressing rapidly and already thir-
teen pupils have enrolled in that
course It is the intention of the
board to provide model country
school for the future "schoolm' ANS"
which will be a great aid in giving
: the students practical experience in
teaching.
There are a large number of pu-
pills, who are still at work on the
farms and who will return in few
weeks to begin their studies. This
will greatly increase the enrolment
and will probably make it the largest
Of any, in the past years.
Military Training For Boys.

SYNOPSIS.

Stanley Hargreave. millionaire, after a
miraculous escape from the den of the
gang of brilliant thieves known as the
Black Hundred. lives the life of recluse
for eighteen years. Hargreave accidental
ly meets Braine, leader of the Black Hun

he escapes from his own home by bal
loon. Before escaping he writes a letter
TO the girls school where eighteen years

That day Hargreave also draws $1,000 900
from the bank, but II is reported that
this dropped into the sea when the balloon

arrives from the girls school. Countess
Olga, Braines companion, visits her and
claims her as a relative. Two bogus de-
tectives call, but their plot Is foiled by
Norton, newspaper man. After railing
in their first attempt, the Black Hundred
trap Florence. They ask her for money,
but she escapes, again foiling them. Nor
ton and the countess call on Florence the
next day, once more safe at home. The
visitors having gone, Jones removes a
section OF flooring and from cavity
takes a box. Pursued by members of the
Black Hundred, he PUSHES TO the water

fact to Jones. A duplicate box Is planted
and later secured by the band, but before
It's contents are examined the box mys-
teriously disappears. Finding himself
checkmated at every turn, Braine endeav-
Ors TO enmesh the Hargreave household
in the law in order to gain free access TO
the house. The timely discovery of the
plot by Norton sets the police at the heels
Of the pack and results in raid on the

The room did not look sinister, but
for all that il possessed the faculty OF
growing smaller and smaller, slowly
or swiftly, as the man above at the
lever willed When Jim was apprised
of this fact, he ran madly about in
search OF some mode OF escape, know
ing full well in his heart that he
should not find one.
Presently the machinery began to
work, and NOrton's tongue grew dry
with terror They had him this time;
there was not the least doubt OF it.
And they had led him there by the
nose into the bargain.
Twenty minutes passed, and Jones
concluded 1t was time for him to act
He went forward to try the door, but
this time it was locked. Jones, how.
ever, was not without resource The
house next door was vacant, and he
found a way into this, finally reaching
the roof From this he jumped to the
other roof, found the scuttle open, and

Braine a push which sent him down
to join the victim, and pitched into the

he would regret this sentiment
When the people came, summoned
by some outsider who had heard the

HAD TO BE TAUGHT FRENCH
English Horses, In Service Of Gallo
Owners, Unable to Understand
Words Of Command.

A French writer tells quaint story
Of the war. He says that the English
cavalry in France found themselves in
possession of number of horses
which were not found suitable for
cavalry work. By arrangements with
the French government they sold them
off to French peasants for agricultural
work. The farmers we're delighted;
though the horses were not adapted
for cavalry work, they we're better
than they had been accustomed to
have for farm work But when they
came to work them a difficulty arose.
The horses did not understand French.
When addressed with Hue" or a
Dial" (which is idiomatic French
for Gee up!" and Way, whoa!")
they did not bulge. No doubt carriers
in France, as in England, have whole
vocabulary of horse talk. Apart from
the starting and stopping, there are
special cries which tell the horse to
turn to the right or left or to take
up a particular posture when it is
Delng grOOmed
Even in England these carriers and
grooms' words differ in different coun-
ties, but probably that would be no
difficulty in the way of transferring a
horse, say, from the north Of Eng
land to the south. For, as the expert
mental psychologists tell us, animals
do not really understand articulation;
what they do understand is the tone
in which words are spoken. This has
been said even OF dogs, which are
much more intelligent than horses
and much more attentive to the
speech of man. Dog lovers, however,
deny this, and say that dogs under
stand the spoken word in whatever
tone it L. uttered or however quietly.
However that may be, IL would not
help the English horses in France,
since the French tones expressing
the various moods Of entreaty or com.
mand differ even more from the Eng
fish than does the pronunciation Of
the words. The horse Is not the only
animal to which French would be a
foreign tongue In France you call a
cat not by Kissing sound, "Tsh, tsh,"
or "Psh, psh," as we do, but by some
thing between a kiss and a whistle.
Hence in France the vOcative OF cat"
is not "Puss" but Mimi"

Another Edison Marvel.

When the telephone was nothing
more than an experimental toy in 1870,
Mr.. Edison predicted that this form OF
communication would not be perfect
until combined with the monograph,
so that telephone messages would be
recorded automatically. And now, for
ty-ive years later, when fifteen mil
lions of conversations are carried an
nually over the telephone wires Mr..
Edison is ready to exhibit at the Pan
ANA Pacific fair for the first time the
telescribe, combination of the tele-
phone and dictaphone, which will put
upon a cylinder for reproduction every
syllable uttered into the transmitter
A little thought will enable any one
to realize what revolution will he
wrought in commercial and legal af
fairs when telephone conversation
can be proved beyond dispute as read

so his record was unknown. He had
told the city editor that he had worked
on Chicago paper, now defunct.
He paid no attention whatsoever to
Norton, sign of no little acumen.
On the other hand Norton never went
forth on an assignment that Gregg
did not know exactly where he was
going. But all these stories kept Nor
ton in town; and it would be altogeth-
er too risky to attempt to handle him
anywhere but outside of town. So
Gregg had to abide his time.

Norton was idling at his desk when
the city editor called him up to the

an. mat was evidence enough for

man. That was evidence enough for
the astute butler. But what meant
the pantomime and the subsequent
hurry? He soon learned. The man
Gregg went his way, and then Jim
turned the corner Jones cast a visit
full glance at the vanishing cab Of the
Russian, and decided to shadow the
,shadower--in other words, follow the
reporter. to see that nothing serious
befell him.
The lurer finally paused at door,
opened it with a key, and swung it
behind him, very careful, however, not
to spring the latch. Naturally Jim
was nightly pleased when he found
the door could be opened. When
Jones, not far behind, saw him open
the door, he started to call out a warn

Norton was walking into trap 1t was
far better that he, Jones, should re-

appear after certain length of time,
he would start an investigation on his
own account.
