Tuesday morning when some of
Langdon's sportsnen proceeded to
get an early shot at the prairie

season they apparently were unaware
of the game law regulation which
does not allow of the hunter shoot
ing game before sun rise or after sun.

broke in upon their start.off and
called for the payment of fine.
The raid upon the unsuspecting

Wales on the shore Of Rush Lake,
where there is plenty of good duck
shooting. c.. N Rogers, of Calvin,

, of Langdon's Early Day
First Homesteader

The death a few minutes after
eight O'Clock on Sunday evening of

three years, at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. Nicholas Irwin, marks
the passing from our midst of another
of the county's honored pioneers ex-
tending over the past thirty years.
She had come over from the Cana

sons and two daughters in 1883,
taking up a homestead a few miles

Ont, and came to the Dakotas to
seek on the virgin prairies of the
west new home and opportunities
for the fatherless family left in her
care by the father who was gone.
The deceased whose maiden name
was Elizabeth Laing. was of sturdy
Scotch ancestry. Born near Toronto in
1886, that locality was her home un-
til about 1861 when she was married
and moved with her husband to Col
,liagwood, Ont, to make their home,
and remaining there until they came
west short time. prior to the death
of her husband in 1885.
Her life for upwards of thirty
years as a resident of Langdon and
immediate vicinity was such that
the home of the Go1dons among the
early pioneers was the first haven of
refuge sought in times of sickness
and sorrow and the respect in which
the deceased was held by our people
was attested by the attendance at
funeral held Tuesday forenoon.
Mrs. Gordon, though feeble with
the advance of years had been in her
usual health until recently and was
up and around the home until within
a few days of the end, which came
painlessly on Sunday evening.

Persian Envoy at Mount Vernon.

Shortly after Sir Julian Paunce-
totes coming to Washington a com
piimentary trip to Mount Vernon was
arranged for him on the Mayflower,
which was the presidents yacht.
Among the invited guests was the Per-
sian minister. 1t was quite social
and impressive event. The spectacle
of the minister of Great Britain pay
ing respect to the tomb and memory
of Washington did not pass without
comment upon its historical signifi-
canoe. During the visit the Persian
envoy was observed to be standing in
profound reverie in front of the iron
gate of the tomb. He remained in ST.
lence for some minutes. and then,
doubtless full Of obvious contrasts that
might occur to an oriental mind from
the land Of shahs and of ivory pal
aces and gorgeous tombs, he turned to
a friend and said How great a man
and how little a cemetery !"-Lieuten-

PESTILENCE CAUSED BY WAR
Generally Understood That the InfIu-
enza Epidemic Was a Direct
Result Of Great Conflict.

Sufficient time mas not yet elapsed
to determine the indirect effects of the
recent eruption of Mount KIoet in Java
which wiped out over score of vii
lagos and killed thousands OF the ma
lives, but recollections of Krakatoa's
volcanic outburst in 1888 which within
six weeks sprinkled Its fine lava dust
over the whole world, has given an in
teresting suggestion to certain mem
bers Of the medical profession. During
the closing year of the war an influ.
enza epidemic ragged in many parts Of
the world. The manner of it's out
break in different countries indicated
that the germs of the disease had been
conveyed by the currents in the air.
The theory, therefore. has been
preached that the poison gases with
which many sectors of the fighting
area were drenched were carried by
the wind in every direction, causing
the influenza outbreak in Spain, Ger
many, England, France, South Amer
lea, Australia, Africa Asia, as we'll as
In the United States and some of the
Central American countries. That the
influenza is corollary of the war Is
undoubted. Any similar gigantic con-
fiict, is argued, would be attended with
a similar widespread pestilence-an-
other reason why every effort should
be made to avert wars in the future
Leslies.

Trying to Look Her Best.

One particularly hot day pretty
North side girl whose crownfng glory
Is quite Titianly incIined, met a friend
"a young man whom she had not seen

suggestion they decided to take in the

little visit.
Always solicitous about her appear

Jagged little behind her escort, and,
hastily opening her dorine box. gave
her nose a surreptitious dab
Fortified with the thought that even
IL 1t was a hot day she was looking
pretty fair, she couldn't account for
the very peculiar expression that she
saw on his face as he turned to speak
to her in the lobby. After a minute of
strained silence, he said: what have
