AS 1T APPEARED TO HIM
Hubby Had No Difficulty at All In
Classifying His Wife as
Species of Tree.

They are a husband and wife who
have many quarrels. And she is not
a fair antagonist because she always
weeps during every quarrel in. order to
win her point. The other night she
brought home a new fur hat which
she proudly exhibited to her husband,
who did not like it, and proceeded to
say so. "Why, it looks queer to even
the dog" he ended. Look how he's
barking at it. He thinks it is coon
in a tree"
'Don't you call me a tree" she
stormed, and then began to cry. II

most liver and stomach disorders.

RACE FEUD AT
WILTON ENDS in
JUSTICE COURT

Wilton, N. D.. March 2s.-1ong-
standing feuds between two divisions
OF Wilton's Russian population Gull
minated last week in a justice court
session which melted out stiff fines
for a dozen or more offenders, while
one of the sringleaders, who pune
tured a personal enemy with a re-
volver, was held to answer to district
court. HN,
No one is able to make out just
what the grievances are. The trou-
BILE started when one OF Wilton's two
Greek Catholic churches was prac-
tically destroyed by fire, which the
congregation insisted was incendiary.
Then on nj used the ornate dome
Of the rival Greek Catholic church
for target and greatly married its
beauty with rifle. balls. After that
the fighting became general. AS a
rule stone and sticks were the only
missiles, but last week revolver play,
entered into the melee. The states
attorney and sheriff came down from
Washburn and made a roundup Of
twenty or more alleged rioters. and
IT is believed the fines assessed will
have a quieting effect. There APP
pears nothing of Sovietism in the
warfare. Rather it is a, fight between
members of the reformed and of the
orthodox Greek church., it is said.
