interest him greatly; MS advancement
now depends on his efficiency. He
must have tact, and he must be able
to adapt himself to new conditions
He should not overlook any chance to
further the interests of his country
but our government does not expect
its representatives to be. utterly selfish,
and usually the consul finds that he
doessbe whensiaeI helps toward the
progress fzboth couatries.
L. The examtna tons Tor consulships are
held at certain intervals in the state
department at Washington. A candi
date can obtain examples Of examina-
ton questions which will show him
very plainly the subjects that he must
master If, while at school or college,
he determines to enter the consular
service he can acquire the necessary
information from the state department
and mold his studies in accordance
with the object in view.
The state department is always in
need Of serious minded men for serv-
ice abroad, and, in spite of the SEEM
ing necessity of political influence, a
man of merit and perseverance is sure
to get his opportunity to enter the
service. He may have to begin, to be
sure. in some desolate place in Arabia
or in some unwholesome spot in China
but when he has proved his efficiency
the department Of state will give him
the proper promotion.
A man who enters the foreign service
must reconcile himself to leaving his
American surroundings. He is entitled
to leave Of absence, with permission
to visit the United States, probably ev-
cry second year. But Of course the
trip home means expense. He must
adapt himself to the ways Of new
country and show himself sympathetic
firm, alert and tolerant, and he must
often learn new language. The sal
aries in the consular service begin at
$1,000 and end at $4,000.
The usual objection that the positions
of neither secretaries Of legation nor
c0nsuls are permanent does not hold
under the law as it Is now. Since the
reorganization of 1906 no man has
been dropped from either service for
political reasons.
The foreign service of the United
States offers great opportunities to the
right man and also many chances for
patriotic self sacrifice. As in all other
vacations OF life, man ought to have
a special inclination for it and a de-
vouring desire to make himself as fit
as possible for the work. There is no
doubt that it will become, as the years
go by, more and more worthy of the
consideration Of earnest, energetic and
well educated Americans.-Hon. Mau-
rice F. Egan in Youths Companion.
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1916-11-02

In a celebrated court martial case
which came up for trial in 1871
young lieutenant was accused of hav-
ing forged another mans name to a
prolnissory note and obtained money
on it. The accusing witness produced
the note in question, which was writ
ten upon sheet Of blue ruled foolscap
paper and bore date Of the year 1867.
Everything had gone against the de-
PENDANT and the case was about to go
to the jury, when the sweetheart Of the
lieutenant, who was sitting beside him
at the trial, happened to pick up the
note and hold it in such way that
strong light from the window shone
through the paper. There, to her JOY,
she read the watermark, "Swampscott
Mills, 1862" In other words, the note
purported to have been written on the
paper two years before the paper had
been manufactured.
The year 1869 figures in another
strange lawsuit. In the year 1880 GER
tain persons in New Mexico claimed
huge tract Of hundreds Of thousands of
acres as the heirs of one Bartolomo
Baca, to whom, they alleged, the Span
ish government had, in 1917, made a
grant. They exhibited the deed Of
grant and sued to obtain possession.

Court Cases Where the Unexpect-
ed Came as a Climax.
FACTS THAT RIVAL FICTION.
Some Trials In Which tho Heavy Hand
of the Law Was Curiousiy Turned
Aside From Inficting Punishment
Upon an Innocent Person.

AS rule, law proceedings are dry
affairs, but there have been some
wherein the facts rivaled the most rO-
mantle fiction.
About the middle Of the eighteenth
century vessel arrived one day at an
English port from India. The captain
reported that, while sailing through
the Indian ocean, one Of his passen-
gers, a man Of wealth and rank, had
been murdered and then accused one
Of his passengers, young brother of
the murdered man, Of the crime.
Though protesting his innocence, the
accused was brought to trial. When
put upon the stand the captain swore
that about midnight on the evening Of
the murder, which was Christmas eve,
he had seen the accused leave his own
cabin, creep stealthily along the deck
to the cabin Of his brother and there
enter. Shortly after, the captain testi-
and then saw the accused emerge and
return to his cabin. On going to the
cabin Of the elder brother he found
him dead from strangulation. Under
cross examination the captain said that
he, himself, was concealed from the
view Of the accused man by the deep
shadow cast by the sail in the light Of
a full moon, while the accused had
been compelled to creep in the light
for quite distance, which rendered
him perfectly recognizable. The Sec
ond mate, who testified that he was
with the captain. swore to the same
facts.
There was no other evidence except
the denial of the accused, who, it was
shown, would profit largely by his
brothers DEATH Just as the case was
about to be given to the jury man
in the courtroom asked permission to
put single question to the captain.
"NOw," said the stranger when the
captain had returned to the stand, "if
you recognized the prisoner in the light
Of a full moon on last Christmas eve,
how do you, who know something Of
astronomy, account for the fact that
on last Christmas eve there occurred a
total eclipse of the sun?'
Trapped thus in his own circumstan-
tial lies, the captain broke down and
confessed that he and the mate had
been hired to commit the murder by
third relative, who, upon the death
Of the younger brother, would have
fallen heir to both their estates.
