The Quaker Bonnet.

have heard that there is as much
technique in the making of the bonnet
of the olden pattern for the Friends
as there is in the Japanese art OF
drinking tea. In Ohio there is sec
ton that wears the Quaker garb with
the bonnet; there is another In Iowa
that still keeps to the Characteristic
costume; in Newly DIRK in settlement on
both sides of Lake Cayuga are Friends
who follow the simple, historic fash
ion; and in Fairhope, Ala, single tax
settlement very largely settled by
Friends, are others. Much Importance
is attached to what is called the "ex-
preston of the bonnet. In the very
simplicity there is quite as much room
for the manifestation of particular
taste as in the more elaborate millin-
ery of "the worlds people" Even to
| half a hair things must be right. The
finished product comes in for close
critical scrutiny at every possible an
gle. The true Friend abhors display
and elf-advertisement, and, therefore
! she does not care to have 1t known
| when a fresh bonnet is bought. That
is why each must be the same as thu
one that preceded it.-Philadeiphis

The New Englander uses the woru

Prof. Burt G. Wildera the distinguish

that turns on a countryman's mistak-
ing the unfamiliar word naturalist
for the familiar word natural"
few years after his arrival In
America, Agassiz was one of a small
party of Harvard professors VINO
traversed the White Mountain region
In carriage driven by the country
man. Three of them were vivacious,
restless, and on the lookout for speci-
mems. They would call q halt, leap
from the vehicle before 1t stopped,
dash over the fields, and return with
prizes in their boxes, in their hands
fand pockets, and even pinned upon
their hats. The fourth, Prof. FELTON,,
the brother-in-law of Agassiz. sal
quietly in his corner of the carriage

When the bewildered driver could

of the day he thus conveyed his in

Rooster Ate 4ss Kernels.

A storekeeper at Montgomery City
has snr,1ng a new one in the guessing
game. He took big. rooster and, at
ter letting him fast for day, put
him in his show window with large
nan of corn, the kernels of which had
been counted.
He offered a prize to the persons
guessing nearest the number of grains
the rooster would eat in 20 minutes.
The rooster had ravenous appetite
and for five minutes it looked as IL
there would not be single kernel
left.
But by the time the 90 minutes had
elapsed he had curIed up in corner

all that to borrow money one
must be a person of some sub
stance, and must give satisfac-
tory guarantees that he will
pay it back with interest.

to the announcements, the pol

sensational departure from ex-

the institution will be sold for

The State Bank

SHE Bank of North Dakota
is now in operation. 1t
has announced certain of its
bonds for sale, has demanded
the deposit of all public funds
to it's credit, has invited individ-
ual deposits from abroad, and
has declared itself in readiness
to make farm loans.
The farm loan feature was
one which made the plan at
tractive to very many people.
The prospect of borrowing mon
ey at lower interest rates was
attractive to all who wished to
borrow and the prospect of be
ing able to borrow at any rate
was particularly attractive to
persons who wished to borrow
and found themselves unable to
get loans on any terms.
AS the managers of the bank
see it now they will be able te
loan money on first class farm
security at net interest rate
of 6 per cent. This will be {
shock to those who have beer
expecting farm loans from TIN
state bank at A per cent or less
and it will be particularly shock
ing to those who happen not t
have any security to offer, bu
who have expected that thr1

DROWNED IN A
WATER BARREL
Mrs. Gus Schneider Found Thursday
Morning Drowned in a Water Bar
rel-Death Accidental
is THOUGHT TO HAVE FALLEN
Deceased Suffered Shortage Of Breath
and SOUGHT Delief. in Fresh Air
and Cooling Water

Relatives and friends of Mrs. Gus.
tav Schneider were shocked to learn
of her death on last Thursday morn
ing. She was found by her husband
about $3.50 o'clock, having drowned
in a water barrel. For the past num-
Der of years Mrs. Schneider had not
enjoyed the best of health. and was
inconvenienced in the night time by
a shortage Of breath. When these
spells would overtake her it had been
her habit to arise and go to the WIN
dow or the door and seek fresh air.
1t is thought that she had arisen ear
ly Thursday morning and had gone
out of doors seeking relief and had
gone to the water barrel to cool her
hands and, wrists. The water being
low in the barrel and the barrel set
low in the ground, the supposition is
that she either lost her balance and
fell into the barrel or the applying of
the water too suddenly to her hands
and wrists caused shock that caused
her to fall.
