TAKING AWAY THE JOY.

Troops at Fl Paso will be deprived of the pleasure of eating watermelon because army experts have decreed that the rtnd of this lucious com mestible cannot be disposed of in san- ttary manner, that it is an attraction
 for flies. And so the soldiers who are
 sweltering in the heat of an almost
 unbearable climate must go without
 one of the greatest joys of the season,
 watermelon feast.
 There should be enough means of
 dispostng of the rind of a watermelon
 without perpetrating this cruelty upon
 the soldiers. In this, instance the
 sanitary expert seems to have gone
 just a step too far. The time is com
 ing when a halt will have to be called
 upon some of the men who set up the
 rules for living or there will be none of the old time joys existing in the watermelon has held sway in the
 southern country. It is one of the most precious heritages of man. It has been the subject of song and story. It has figured in romance, in
 life, in fiction. And now it must go
 from the army because after the wa
 termelon feast the rind cannot be eff
 fectively disposed of, cannot be burned
 or properly buried beneath the surfa ce
 of the earth. And we had thought the men who wear the khaki were capable of doing almost anything in the line of duty. To say they cannot take their shovels and spades and dig resting place for the watermelon rind admits of greater incapacity than their staunchest critics had ever hoped
 to hear There is not colOred boy
 in the sunny south who, after having
 stolen a good sized watermelon, can not completely destroy all evidences ,-- Juice, pulp, seeds and rind. Why then should the United States army men be deprived of the pleas ure of eating watermelon when lessons of disposal
 are to be learned from such humble | source? There is no reason except | to satisfy the whims or some medical expert, someone who is ever willing to take the joy out of life.
 Soon we shall have fewer enlist ments in the United States army. If a decree is to be rigidly enforced so that watermelons cannot be eaten by the soldiers in camp we may expect whole-
 sale leave-taking among the colored i troops. There will be no Tenth CavaI- ry. For those dark skinned boys 1 know the wonders of a watermelon | feast. HambOne, to them is sweet; l chicken is divine; "Poke-chops dey
 am very, very fine;" but there is one ! thing, they sing for, they yearn for all 1 the time, that's that watermelon l hanging on de vine" Nor are the 1 colored troopers of Uncle Sam the only 1 ones who have a hankering for water l melon. From the lowliest recruit to officers of the line there are in the l army lovers of this ellipsoidal fruit,

 The recent act of the prohibition party in selecting the camel as it's off, Cial emblem. has melted the wit of newspaper humOrists. The Philadel- phia Record says: "Tf the prohibition ists knew more of natural history they would not select the camel as their emblem or mascot. The camel is not @ total abstainer; on the contrary, he is a free thinker. The difference be- tween the camel and the deplOra ble CarabaO is not that the latter drinks more than the former but that when he wants a drink, he goes and gets it. he doesn't stop to finish the job he is on. The camel is a good representa- tive of the damp resident in dry ter ritOrY. for he is capable of laying in a supply of irrigants that will last him for several days. The camel can go for some time without drinkng but that is only because he got full to be- gin with; he got all his four stomachs full. The proper emblem for the total abstaincrs is the sheep. But then, the thing he totally abstains from is wa ter"

Martin Holt but they escaped un-
injured.
The party had been to Burling-
ton and were returning home.
They were driving at good clip.
probably thirty miles an hour. when
the machine struck a rut in the
road, skidded and turned END
about in the road. George was oc-
cupying the front seat beside the
driver. and was sitting relaxed and
rather sidcwlse in the, seat, with
nothing to brace himself. When
the front wheels of the car skidded
the machine came to a sudden stop
and he was thrown violently against
the windshield. The edge struck
him across the upper portion of the
nose, and cut cash through the
nose, breaking the jawbones and
crushing in the face. He was
thrown from the car and landed in
the road on his face.

Casselton. ~. D., May 25.--Harry
b. Hawley met with an accident
that might easily have been fatal
and was certainly serious. Messrs.
Hawley and Locke were engaged in

whirled about two or three times.
The exact happening nobody seems
to know DR.. Baldwin went out
to the place and brought him in
at noon by auto, and it was early
evening before he recovered con-
sciousness. His injuries were cuts
on the head and general laming
up, bnt fortunately no bones were
broken. Mr. Hawiey has been out
since, but he is still suffering from
the shock. the decorations of his
head. and the general bad results
of his pounding.

BODY OF SUICIDE
FOUND IN PARK

Grand Forks, N. D., May 25.-
The body of a strange man, aged
about 38 or 40 years, with bullet
wound through his right temple,
was found in the center of Lincoln
park yesterday afternoon by three
men who had been fishing in the
Red river nearby.
An Identification card found in
a book on the dead man states
that his name was Walter Bur
roughs of Chana, Ill. 1t stated
that "in case of an accident noti-
fy w. B. Eyster, Chana, ILL.,, also
S. w. Burroughs of Allison. Ia"
According to the book found on
the dead man, he was member
of Dickinson lodge No. 727, Loyal
Order of Moose, Chana, Ill. The
authorities report that no money
was found in his effects, and thus
far no notes have been discovered.
He was we'll dressed, wearing a
dark blue suit and black hat.
1t is believed that he. has been
dead for not more than "a hours.
No report has been received of
persons living in that neighbor-
! hood hearing a shot.
Beside the corpse was a .3S cali
ber double-action Hopkins & Allen
revolver. Only one shot had been
fired, the same having entered his
right temple:
The authorities are of the opin-
ion that it is plain case of sui
eide, although no clues of an ex-
planatory nature have come to
light as yet.

MAN DIES FROM
PRAIRIE FIRE BURNS

Minot, N. D., May 25.-Nickolay
Japolsky, an Austrian who has
been employed on the farm of Dan
Blocher near Surrey, died at a To-
cal hospital last night from burns
received in a prairie fire a few
days ago.
The remains are being prepared

led tomorrow. He was young
man and so far as could be discov-
cred, had no immediate relatives in
this country. His parents reside
in Austria.
He came to the Blocher farm
some time ago and was employed
there, but Mr. Blocher knew moth
ing about him except that he ap-
peared to be rather steady work
er and dependable.

According to Bernt Anderson, prom

wild geese are raising havoc in
the grain fields that were uncOv-
cred by the recent wind storm.
On the Anderson farm thousands
of geese have made their head
quarters, and on account OF being
protected from attack by hunters
by state law. there appears to be
no relief in sight. II the birds
become much tanner it appears that
geese herders will be in demand.
