MUST Have SURPRISED CAR
John Randolph Had His Own Ideas OF
What to Do When Presented at
Russian Court.

When John Randolph, erratic Amer
;can statesman from Virginia. was IN
Russia he was about to be presented
70 tho czar. Someone undertook to
+oach him the presentation etiquette
- tha Russian court. AS minister he
uos 70 enter the room and bow; at
+hn center of the room ne was to
nonso and bow a second time, after
which the car would meet him and
engage him in conversation. But Ran
dolnh was indignant at the thought
+bat anyone could presume to teach
him ANYTHING, and declared that ne
knaw all about it without being
shown.
The day of presentation arrived ana
Randolph entered the door of the au-
d,ence chamber and bowed very low;
no advanced to the center of the room
and bowed again very deeply. Then
he approached nearer to the car, took
off one gauntlet and threw it to the
right of the car, removed his other
panntlet and cast it to the left of the
czar. Next he pitched off his hat in
front, threw off his mantle, unbuckled
his sword and discarded it upon the
floor and then fell upon his knees at
tho feet of the car The court was
sneechless and the czar astonished.
However, the car was. equal to the
occasion, so he approached the pros

Value of Snakes.

Most people have a decided shrink
ing from snakes, which is not to be
wondered at in tropical countries,
where their bite is venomous and often
fatal. But the grass snake ought not
to be confounded with the rattlers,
cobp0s or pythons. 1t is as harmless
to humanity as frog and good deal
more useful. No greater enemy to
bugs is in existence. And slugs are
among the most hurtful of garden and
field pests. They keep down the num-
bers also of such other pests as mice,
shrews and other small rodents. But
as slug destroyers they deserve to be
cherished rather than massacred at
sight, which is their usual fate.

WANTED TO go 1T ALONE"
Many Years Ago Missouri Declared
Her Ambition to Become an In
dependent Republic.

Missouri once had intention of set
ting up as an independent republic
all by herself The Session acts, state
of Missouri, 1S38-1839, contain me-
mortal to the congress of the United
States relative to the Santa Fe trade.
It tells of an expedition of traders
to Santa Fee in 1912 from st. Louis,
though it is not specifically stated that
they went over the Santa Fee trail.
The early Session acts Of the Mis-
souri, legislature, starting in 1924, con-
tain many interesting resolutions and
memorials to congress on all manner
OF political and Historical subjects.
Incidentally the Missouri constitution
of 1920 starts with the preamble that
the citizens of the state agree to form
and establish free and independent
republic by the name of the state of
Missouri.
Missouri was one of the pivotal
states in the history of this country.
1t was made such in the ancient fight
in congress over the slavery question,
which took up the admission of free
and slave states and considered the
balance thereof in congress. Missou-
ri was also a pivotal state in yet an
other and larger senseshe was the
iumping-off place for that wild and
unknown country called the Wild West

the frontiersmen OF Kentucky and

generation of history herself as a

CHAPTER XVIII.

Mr.. Sidney was buried by the pool
on bitter afternoon when the snow
tcreaked underfoot, and the sun, in a
cold blue sky to the southwest above
the hills across the river, could hard
ly be regarded as warm and sustain
ing star.
The servants were pail bearers-sad
ones and we had the chaplain from
the penitentiary to read the service
in the room Mr.. Sidney had used. The
sun came in the southwestern win
dows, and the canaries sang. Algol
was afraid of strangers and hid him
self. Otherwise it was Mr.. Sidney's
room.
We carried the coffin the half-mile
in the bitter cold to the grave which
had been dug by the pool with mat
| tocks through the frozen earth. Mrs.

MEAT EATING PAYTRIOTS ISL
PAY FOR MOB VIOLENCE

LeSeuer Center, MINI. Five of
Minnesota's raw-meat- eating patriots
have paid w. w. Wrabek, Nonpar-
tisan league farmer of LaSeuer coun-
ty, $1,675 as personal damages for
mob violence.
Farmer Wrabeck was not League
organizer or speaker. The only evil
dence Of his "disloyalty" was the
wearing of the "We1 Stick" button.
But that was enough to arosue the
raw meat eaters, who had just heard
one of Governor Burnquist's vicious
attacks on the organized farmers. He
was knocked down, trampled on and
otherwise injured.
Mob violence is Of course, a GRIM
inal offense, but the politicians in
Minnesota suspended law enforce
ment during the 1918 campaign
American election methods were, in
fact, set aside after the manner Of
Mexico under Diaz. In 10 counties the
farmers were prevented from telling
the public what their platform was
and from hearing their state candi-
dates.
When approached by a delegation
insisting On law enforcement, the now
|defunct politician in the governors
office remarked that he had not heard
of any one being killed. None Of the
mob violence criminals have been
prosecuted. II.

other injuries. The Courant and all
Bottineau people sincerely hope that
the accident will not prove very SER
iouss and that Mr.. Farnand will be
about his duties shortly. -
Later: The following is a letter we
received from Mrs. Farnand and tells
the extent Of the Doctors injuries
and how the accident happened:
DR. Farnand was hurt, quite serious
" in an automobile accident yester-
day, Nov. 1st., at about three o'clock
His right shoulder blade is broken,
asdeep cut on his left leg, and several
bad bruises. Several ribs were cracked
and one lung was hurt. His tempera-
ture at this writing is normal. It his
lung does not fill with pus he will pull
through. .
The car was also damaged, the TOP
smashed, wind shield broken and fend-
ers bent. He lost control of the car
when he was turning corner, his
hand being party paralyzed. The cal
hit the side of a house and turned
over. The doctor says that there are
