Marie Tires of
 Jim
By H. LOUIS RAYBoLD


 V' is]z' by Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate Tor Just two years Marie and linn had been engaged and, until tba do,, before yesterday, they had been mite happy. The long engagement was none of Jim's wishing. Force of cir. cumstanees in the shape of an invalid and absolutely dependent brother had made It impossible for Jim. inst mt or the service when he met Marie, to lay aside enough to justify the assump- ton of new burdens.
 At first they had made plans for somewhat indefinite future hut of late they had grown-Marie especially ito seize the present and let the days to come take care of themselves.
 And now, this sunny afternoon when an advance spring breeze per tuned the air, they had quarreled.
 "Yes, l like you, Jim,e walled Marie finally, only-only 1 think I am tired of you and tired of being en- gagged. Yes, it's dreadful to say. but how much better to find out before we are Unmarried. So here's your r-ring!" Stupidly, Jim held out his hand for the shining bit of jewehy. Then he straightened his shoulders. "Of course, dear,' he said soberly. tits worlds better. Tll-Ill try To take it sensibly. Now, let's go home7
 If, after Jim had left Marie, he wondered if any other man had been the cause of her defection, he tried to stifle the suspicion. To be sure. any girl would have grown weary long ago

Blue Sheep In Shetland.

There are some persons who doubt the existence of blue sheep. In Sir Walter Scott's diary during his tour in the Shetlands Is the following:
 "We climbed a hill, about three miles from Lerwick, to cairn, which pre- sents a fine view of the indented coast of the island, and the distant isles Of Monsa and others. Unfortunately the day Is rather hay. We returned by a circuitous route, through the same sterile country. These muirs are used as q commonly by the proprietors of the parishes in which they lie, and each, without any regard to the ex- tent of his peculiar property, puts as much stock upon them as he chooses.
 "The sheep are miserable-looking, hairy-legged creatures, of all colors, even to sky blue. l often wondered where Jacob got speckled lambs; l think now they must have been of the Shetland stock"

Good Luck Charms of Gamblers.

Unusually rich in superstitions are the famous gambling resorts of Deau- vile and Monte Carlo, and queer are the faiths of the men and women in good luck charms and omens. At Monte Carlo man and woman ap- peared at the tables each night, and while the man played, the woman re- mained seated nursing q black cat for luck.
 The mans luck was good at first, but it changed later. To play with the third and fourth fingers of the left hand crossed is a device which one woman affirmed gave her luck, but she could not explain it.
 At Deauville Russian explained his success by admitting that he ate a considerable quantity of almonds for dinner every night Amethyst tie pins are popular at the gambling re- sorts because of their alleged luck bringing virtues, and every hunchback that appears on the streets Is rubbed against constantly.

REST ON THE SEVENTH DAY
Decree That So Ordained Had Founda. tion in Deep Wisdom, According
 to This Writer.

The choice of one day in seven is certainly the wisest that could have been made. However arbitrary it may appear, and may be to certain eX- tent. to shorten or lengthen work on account of one day, 1 am neverthe- less persuaded that six days are the exact measure of a mans physical powers of endurance, whether in labor or uniform employment. There is something humane, too, in allowing the animals employed in mans serv- ice to share in his rest. To lengthen the time between this constantly re- curing day of rest would be no less foolish than inhuman, though l once saw the experiment made. When 1 spent some years in Paris during the time of the Revolution Q792-1S03) 1 witnessed there the abolition of this divine ordinance, in order to establish in it's room the dull, dry, decimal sys- tenn. The tenth day was to be what our Sunday is, and the work went on for nine days consecutiyely; but when this became evidently too much for the strength many observed Sunday also, at least as far as the police would allow; hence resulted next too much idlenesS: and thus we always blunder between two extremes when we de- part from the regular middle way ordained for us. But if this be the case when merely worldly considera tions are taken into account, how much is it's importance altered when we see in a religious point of view, which makes the idea as well as the endowment of the day a source of spiritual peace and real consolation. ". Yon Humboldt.

 For some reason or other. nothing went Just right. Bert could not dance at least, not in that sturdy. swing. Ing way she had learned to love in Jlm. Also, she didn't care for the slliy compliments Bert whispered in her ear as he held her rather too closely. Jim never would talk as he danced. Said he had a single-track mlnd and couldn't keep his feet and his tongue going at the same time.
 Odd, after all, thought Marie to her Self' to be dancing with the man who was giving you the time of your young life, and recalling the man you had grown tired of.
 The crisis came at intermission. Half concealed by a screen of palms. Bert threw his arm around Marie's shoulder. That instant, Marie knew. Knew that it was Jim and not Bert who could bring her happiness.
 "Take me home at once, Bert" she insisted eoldly. "Fm-Fm sick of it." And Bert, inwardly sneering at the girl who wouldn't play up as he called it. was forced to aequiesce.
 Although the hour was late when Marie found herself at home and alone It was not too late. sine told herself neryously, to find out if Jim was still free-free to become bound again. Quiyering, she stood at the telephone
 "Yes-yes-it's Marie. Oh, Jim, could you come over for five min utes? Something to tell you!''
 Fifteen minutes later Jim stood in the doorway. and straightway forgot that waiting taxi outside was run ming up steep record All he realized was that Marie was holding out both arms.
 Do you mean you aren't tired of me, after all, dear?" Jim wanted to be sure.
 'Well,' and Marie dmpled, "Pd rather be tired of you than of any thing else Oh. Jim! :"

 As far as Marie was concerned no other man than Jim had ever claimed even one tiny thought. Yet there was another man in the offing -a tall, sleek, not unattractive youth, who had many times eyed Marie ad- miringly as they ascended together Ill the elevator 10 their respective places of employment. And that man, Bert Rogers, had decided to meet Marie. Six days after Mare's engagement to Jim was broken he accomplished ms wish through the agency of fellow stenographer of Marie's.

FLINT WARNS AGAINST
WEED FLAVORED CREAM
AND BUTTER IN SPRING

Bismarck, N. D., April 26.-state
Dairy Commissioner R. F. Flint has
sent out the following circular rela-
tive to weed flavroed cream and but
ter in the spring Of the year:
"Each late cold spring weedy flaw
ored milk and cream causes heavy
losses to the dairy interests in North
Dakota. This especially applies on
the slope where there are gumbo
patches, where there is a scarcity Of
feed. The wild onion and other weeds
start earlier than the grass and COWS
permitted to range eat these, which
gives to the milk, cream and butter a
decidedly Objectionable flavor, even
eggs are distinctly weedy Favored.
"lt is difficult to realize until one
has eaten the onion Favored milk and
butter how Objectionable this flavor
is in these products. No flavor known
to butter will so reduce it's sales
value. Unfortunately no process has
yet been found that will eliminate
onion flavor in butter. The only way
therefore, is to prevent the cows from
eating them, and that is more easily
described than done. The best method
is to keep cows from pasture until
the grass is we'll started. Another
is to take up the cows three to four
hours before milking. In any event
COWS in milk should have hay and
feed in addition to the small amount
of nutriment they procure from early
pasture.
"Do not mix weedy favored cream
with that not so Navored; market
each separately. When marketing
cream call attention of the buyer or
mark the tag on the can that contains
weed Favored cream. The manufac-
turers will then set the weedy cream
aside to be churned separately. One
can of weedy cream will pollute an
entire churning and reduce the sales
value of the butter from one fourth to
one-half. The earnest cooperation of
all interested is important to reduce
financial loss to our dairy interests" !"

Russia, Letter Says

Velva, N. D.. April 26.-Pitiable
conditions exist in southern Russia
and the people there are starving to
death in great numbers, according to
word received by George Beck, resid-
ing southwest of Velva,~ from Mrs.
Beck's brother, who resides in south
ern Russia. The letter which was re-
ceived was registered, and 40 stamps,
each worth $50 rubles, or 10000
used. It takes 5000 rubles, to send
an ordinary letter from Russia to the
United States. According to the let
ter, all cows, hogs, horses and dogs
have either died or have been killed
for food. All grains are about ex-
hausted and another crop will not be
harvested for several months. The
Bolsheviki soldiers also torture the
natives, the letter says, and take
away what small stores of grain and
money they may have.
