tiers by Size and Shape Of
Their Tongues.

"Put out your tongue" is a phrase
associated in most peoples minds with
doctors, and is usually reminiscent of
minor ailments and nasty medicines;
spoken by q glOSsOmancist, however,
the curt command takes on an alto
gether different significance.
A gfOssOmancist, it may be as we'll
nancy, a new science which consists
in reading peoples characters by the
shape and size of their tongues.
Thus, according tt it's votaries, the
pOssessOr of a short and broad tongue
is apt to be untruthful as to words,
and unreliable as to deeds. A long
tongue moderately pointed, denotes
frankness and a loving, trustful, af-
f%ectionate disposition. When the
tongue is long and broad, however, it
is a sign that the owner is shallow
and superficial, and also a great talk
er. The typical woman gossip, say
glossomancists, almost always shows
this shape Of tongue.
The small round tongue, plump and
In shape like an oyster, denotes
mediocre abilities and a nature that
is commonplace and colorless. A
short, narrow tongue goes with a ma
ture that is at once quick-tempered.
The worst type of tongue is said to
be the long, narrow, SinuOus kind.

fishing points along the stream. For
two hours they had been casting their
lines and in the bottom of the boat lay
q superb string of fish.
There was One an enormous pick
erel, which had been landed with as
much excitement among the delighted
trio as though it had been a whale.
This, with hasty fingers, Mary pro-
ceeded to detach from the string.

and the latter, guessing what was up,
proceeded to get the boat directly in

fisherman. Mary lifted the book and

"Why not run the boat under the

That led to new ripples Of fun and
suspense. Mary essayed to fling sew
eral pebbles at the slumbering angler,
hut they fell far short of the mark.
They were getting tired of their sport,
when he woke up. His face frightened
as a touch at the pole told of prey ex-
pected.
Then his eyes opened wide and
eagerly as the fish came into view,
He landed it with care, proud of the
capture. The ribbon puzzled him
manifestly. Mary, viewing the scene

W0LC0TT DEAD AND
MURDER IS CHARGED

White Earth, ~ d., April 4.--As the
result OF shooting affray on the Ro-
land place near the Missouri river,
Harry Wolcott is dead and John Ro-
land is in Jail at Stanley.
1T seems that there had been bad
blood between the two families for
several years and that Wolcott had
threatened to get" Roland some day.
The matter reached a climax when
the WfOlcotts' father and son, drove
up to Rolands barn on load of hay
and stopped
TO use Roland's story, he opened
the door to find out what was wanted
when the elder Wolcott took a shot
at him. He then went back into the
house, returning to the door with his
rifle and fired three shots in the air
to brighten the horses and get them
ON the run, but only succeeded in
swerving them To one side, causing
the load of hay to tip over, and land
ing the men on the ground.
Roland says that WolcOtt then
made move as though to shoot when
he fired two more shots, one of which
found its way to the young man.
Roland came to White Earth and
! gave himself up to the marshal who
took him to Stanley.

While the board Of education is Le

pOrary library established by the Com
mercal club is gaining daily, indicat

part Of Bismarck citizens of the bene'

During March a total of 500 books
were loaned. OF this number GA vol
umes were children's fiction; l9l were
adult fiction. and 50 covered histori.

The average number of books loan

children taking the precantion to care

stormy weather. Only two Of the
books have been lost. These We're
promptly replaced with others by the
persons losing them.
Fully eighty percent of the borrow
ers are children. AT the end of the
month al least seventytive people
were making use of the reading room
privileges. In cases where books were
kept overtime, the fines imposed in
all except one instance were cheer

There are now ready for circulation
about l,500 books. There are between
400 and 500 books already collected
which have not yet been catalOgued,
