From the day upon which he re-

the Second regiment, Lieut.. Markley
has gone up and down the state
preaching the gospel of simon-pure
Americanism. He has done more than
any other man in North Dakota, those
who have followed his work closely
say, to counterfeit the harm Of those
who would hamper Uncle Sam in the
prosecution of this war. He has not
quibbled. Unfinchingly he has classi-
fed traitors of whatever ilk and
branded them with their treachery,
and the people have responded to his
sincerity and honesty and inspired
enthusiasm as they have responded to
no other speaker who has gone among

M0CKING BIRD SAVES FOUR
Of Night, Family Escapes
Death by Gas.

The shrill whistle Of hooking bird
saved the family of George Daglish Of
st. Louis from asphyxiation early one
morning.
The gas cocks of the kitchen range
had been turned on while the family,
consisting Of Mr.. Daglish and his wife,
a son, eight years old, and daughter,
aged nine, were asleep on an upper
floor
The mocklng bird began whistllng
shrill notes and awoke Mrs. Daglish
about one o'clock. She was partly over
come by the gas, but awakened her
husband, who also was suffering from
the fumes. The children then were
aroused, and Daglish carried them into
the yard, while windows and doors
were thrown open. The hooking bird
continued to whistle until Mrs. Daglish
went into the kitchen and turned of
the gas.
The bird, Jim, Is twelve years old
and unusually large. He is kept In
a cage In the kitchen, but can open
the door and fly about. He never be-
fore was known to make a noise at
night, and the Daglishes attribute their
escape from death to his vigilance.

No Newsboys Required.

A Rochester newspaper has accom-
plished the task of selling newspapers
without the aid of newsboys in the out
lying districts of the city. This has
been done with the aid of a motor
truck, number Of sacks and coin
receptacles. The sacks are placed on
poles or tree branches and contain 20
to 40 papers each They carry signs
reading: "Take paper and deposit coin
In coin receptacle" The motor truck
delivers the sacks to their various POI
sitions In the morning and COLLECTS the
empties and receipts In the evening.
The returns show that very few peo-
pie neglect to pay for the papers they
take. The sales average 35 papers
to the sack, and represent additional
business. Investigation among the
news dealers of the city also shows
that they have not lost by reason Of
the new scheme. 1t is evident that the
sacks serve a class of people who went
without papers before, because they
could not be served by the newsboy
system.-Wall Street Journal.

Use WjreIes in Storm.

BY means Of about five hundred feet
Of wire strung around wooden frame
work, some experimenters In the cleo
trical department Of Union college,
Schenectady, N. Y, are said to have
been able to receive messages during
violent storms and determine the direc-
ton from which they come. The wire
less waves are received by the wires
on this frame just as they are re-
ceived by antennae high Ia the air.
They are then transmitted to tuning
devices and a telephone receiver in
the usual manner. 1t has been found
that by turning the frame about until
Its axis Is in line with the direction
of the sending station, the signals are
heard most distinctly. This direction
finding feature, 1t Is believed, will
prove OF great value In many ways.

The most common test for determln-

Of blue litmus paper, which can be OBJ

bought for the erection Of large mod

St. John Claims 900 Inhabitants.
st. John contains about twenty
square miles. 1t claims 900 inhabit-
ants, but they are hard to find owing
to the density Of the jungle, the lack
Of roads and the fact that there Is
no town on the island.
The other AZ islands which are In
Guided In our purchase vary from
such bits as Sail rock, which Is q bare
spire Of granite that looks like a sail
and affords home for few sea
BIRDS to Buck island, which is several
square miles In area, covered with
dense growth, and full Of wild pigeons,
parrots and wild goats. Most of these
small islands, or keys, are uninhab-
tied and many of them are practically
never visited by men.
Our purchase includes three princi-
pal cities and II few smaller villages.
The most important of the cities is
Charlotte Amalie, on this island OF
ST. Thomas. In the islands the town
Is called st. Thomas, its Danish name
| almost never being heard. 1t has about
1900 inhabitants, most of whom have
negro blood, but 1t is not a negro town
In the sense that Port au Prince is.
| The typical st. Thomian of the bet
ter class Is West Indian creole, and
of a distinctive type. He has Just
enough negro blood to make his skin
dark and his hair slightly kinky. He
| Is indolent and pleasure-loving, but
intelligent and pretty well educated.
Many Of the leading merchants OF St.
Thomas are creoles, including the only
millionaire in the islands. These we'll
TODD creoles have their children edu-
Gated In Europe, and mingle with the
Danish officials as social equals. Many
of the young Danes have taken creole
brides back to Denmark.
Capital City Rated Beautiful.
In st. Crolx are Christiansted. the
| capital, and Fredrikstad each having
population of between 1900 and
| 5000. Fredrikstad is a fiat, white,
dusty town, swept by the wind from
it's open roadstead, aud Is neither pic
turesque nor interesting. Christian
sted, on the other hand, is a beautiful
tropical city, full of flowers and palms
and picturesque old houses. 1t has
pretty little harbor choked with sand
and mud. The bulk Of the people in
st. Croix are black negroes, while the
dominant class are mostly Irishmen
and Danes.
From these facts, 1t will be seen that
we have not bought valuable piece
Of real estate. but the purchase seems
to be amply justified. Whatever the
value of the islands to us, q 1r poten-
tial value to them is enormous. The
people Of the Danish West Indies are
looking to us with faith and hope for
many things, and the whole Caribbean
world will watch our course there
with keen and critical interest. Where
fore Uncle Sans new islands are
more important part of his domain
than they appear on the map.

FIG. 1-REoloNs OF THE HORSE.

An understanding of the desirable
and undesirable conditions found in
horses, together with knowledge of
their relative values, will enable the
purchaser to select better animal
with a considerable saving of time, In
convenience and expense. A thorough
examination for the various forms of
blemish, vice, faulty conformation and
unsoundness In horse Is absolutely
cured, and a definite method of pro-
ceduye should be adhered to in making
the examination, which should CORE
spOnd to the order In which the vari-
GUS steps most conveniently present
themselves. Figure l names the diff
ferent regions of the horse to which
attention will be invited.
Stable Vices.
Evidences Of stablc vices can best be
seen by observing a horse In his stall.
Halter Pulling.-Horses wearing
extra heavy halters' particularly
heavy rope halters) would be suspect
ed of halter pulling. Likewise a rope
tied from one stall to the other at
about the height Of the quarters or
the use Of what is known as the body
rope, may indicate this defect.
Cribbing and Wind Sucking
Horses that suck wind through the
mouth, accompanied by grunting
sound, are termed wind suckers. Crib
bers press their teeth on some object,
such as the manger, while sucking In
air, consequently the characteristic
wear on the teeth may indicate this
vice, as does also broad strap
buckled snugly around the neck at the
throat latch. Horses with these hab-
Its I'LL their stomachs and intestines
with air, giving a bloated appearance
to the abdomen. They are hard to
keep In good condition and are some

cussed later. Take general survey
or the horse from the front, rear and
Doth sides, so as to determine whether
he Is or Is not built on the lines suit
able to do the work for which he is
wanted.
Temperament.-The temperament Of
a horse furnishes evidence concerning
his disposition and his nerve force.
For instance, the nervous, excitable
animal Qacking strong nervous sys-
tenn Is hard to control under many
circumstances, while the sluggish
phegmatic horse, though docile, lacks
ambition and endurance. Desirable
temperament is indicated by large
mild, bright eyes; width between the
eyes and behind the ears; forehead
neither too concave nor too convex !;
willing obedience to commands and an
alert, active, graceful carriage when
In motion. Temperament and disposi-
ton are influenced to some degree by
training and handling, SO that it Is we'll
to keep these factors in mind when
testing the horse at work.
Quality.--Quality denotes fine tex
ture In all that goes to make up a
horse. 1t Is not possible to examine all
the parts, but those exposed to view
VIII give a good idea Of the others,
since in animals there Is analogy be-
tween the various parts. The exter-
nal indications Of quality In the horse

fine, snugly fitting skin, and short soft
hair, the two latter to be Of this char
acter over the entire body. Quality
also finds expression in thoroughly de-
fined lines between the various re-
gions, In cleancut features, and In a
general refinement of tissue and breed
mess throughout.
Color.-Horses with any of the dark
solid colors, such as bay, brown, chest
nut and black. are serviceable and sell
readily. Dark grays are in demand for
draft, show and hunting purposes, but
for other uses they are generally slow
sellers, because they turn white with
age. Pipk-skinned whites, duns mouse
colors and spotted colors sell at dis
count except for uses where unusual
or gaudy colors are wanted. Grays
have the reputation of standing the
effect OF the hot sun unusually well.
whereas dark browns and blacks often
sunburn readily. White marks on the
legs and face are desirable for show
purposes, since they give a horse a
flashy appearance.

the guileless victim Of villain and all
his sense Of manhood was stirred with
In him.
His life held little of hope or COM
fort, for he was an invalid and had
been for years. Money and social
eminence at his command, existence
had become vapid, profitless, well-nigh
uneudurable. He was no physical
match for the burly scoundrel who
WAS about to elope with the daughter
Of a humble resident Of Rockton, yet
Evans was resolved to thwart him.
He hurried from the restaurant
It was quite dusk, and it was with
In half an hour that willard had ar
ranged to meet Lilias Deane at a GER
tain spot at the edge Of the town.
Evans proceeded In it's direction. He
consulted his watch and calculated
that he would reach the place in ad-
vance OF willard. He was none too
strong, however, and his gait became
tagging and slow under the strain of
the unusual exercise. Half an hour
later he entered little grove. Look
Ing back he saw Willard a few hun
dred yards behind him. Looking
ahead he made out the girl Lilias, a
satchel In her hand, shrinking to the
shelter OF great tree.
He lifted his hat as he neared her
and she bowed In return In flutter-
ing, EMBARRASSED way. He halted.
The movement was unexpected on the
part Of the girl. Casually several
times In the past he had thus recog-
nlzed her. but they had never spoken.
He spoke now.
Miss Deane," he said hurriedly,
with a glance back to assure himself
OF the diatance away Of willard, twill
you kindly walk on with me? l have
something Of great Importance to say
to you"
'T-I-yes, certainly" she stammered,
but her gait was reluctant as she kept
pace with him.
She had always considered Evans
far above her humble family in the
way Of wealth and social position. AS
a friendly neighbor, as a hopeless in
valid, as she had heard she could not
very well decline his suggestion, al
though her mind was entirely with the
man who must soon overtake them.
you must trust and believe me-"
went on Evans, gravely and inslstent-
Iy. by chance. but beyond doubt,
l have learned that the person for
whom you are about to abandon home
and friends Is scoundrel."
She came to dead standstilf, her
face white, resentful and unbelieving.
'SThere Is no time to discuss this"
proceeded Evans rapidly. "You have
been grossly deceived, as I can prove
to you. You must not meet this man.
Go home, and I will later convince
you of the truth of what / say"
His earnestness held her. his su-
perior willpower drove back pervers-
ity. She swayed as II about to faint.
