Miss Poland seems to me to have everything in the world" Julia said. in childish protest. "She's-she's beautiful and every one loves her. She's always been rich enough to do what she pleased, and go places, and .Eear what s'e liked! And-and- Julia's eyes EIatered suddenly-and she's a lady" she added unsteadily- She's always been told how to do things, she's-she's different from girls who have had no chances,
 Her voice thickened. speech became too difficult, and she stopped, looking down at her teacup through blur of tears. Miss Poland watched her for a silment moment or two; despite all her oddities, no woman who ever lived had a kinder heart or keener in sight than Anna Toland. It was in said:
 "Ten me a little something abontt yourself, Miss Pagei"
 "Oh, there's nothing interesting about me!' Julia said, ashamed or showing emotion. She jumped up. But the recital came, nevertheless, be- ginning with Chester, and ending with Julia'S earlier memories Of the O'raf- reu Street house. The girl tumbled 1t vealing far more than she knew. Julia told of the episode Of Carter Hazard: she repeated the conversation she had overheard at the club.
 Miss To1and did not once interrupt her; she listened in ap apprec1ative Bilence. They washed and put away the dishes, strengthened the kitchen, and finally found themselves standing in the reception room, Julia still talking.
 :" so you see why it sounds so funny to me, your talking about your niece,'' Julia said.- Because she she seems to me such miles ahead she seems to have everything I would like to have!" She paused, and then said awkwardly: "I'H never be 8 lady. I know that. Fl wish ! had a chance to be!'
 And she sat down at the little Mis- sion table, and flung her arms out be- fore her, her face tired and wretched, her blue eyes dark with pain. Miss Toland's face, from showing mere in dulgent interest, took on a sharper look. She was quick-witted woman. and this chanced to touch her in 0 sensitive spot.

 The only other Connecticut case of smallpox in Connecticut outside of The State Department of Health calls attention to the fact that the epi- demic of this disease in Kansas City, Mo, is so severe that local authori- ties are trying to 1ocaliZe it by re- stricting travel unless people are vac cinated.
 Although there have been no hu- man cases of rabies in Connecticut Health says that there have been sev- eral small outbreaks of rabies among animals. The recent appearance of this disease in Middletown and Cron- appears.
 Anti-rabic treatment should be giv- en, it says,
 When persons are bitten by dogs when the laboratory examlna- tion made of the dogs head shows the dog to have had rabies
 2"When persons are bitten by stray dogs who were apparently ill with rabies but who escaped before they could be caugh. and watched.
 3-When a person has been Ick- ed on the hands. face, or other ex- posed skin surface by a dog such as mentioned above.
 sIn practically every case, anti rabic treatment will prevent human beings from developing rabies if they have been bitten by a rabid dog.
 From Jan. l, 1917, to July 1, 1920, the report shows, that 346 cases of animal rabies were reported, and t5,- S20 dogs were killed.

PETER FAAS, BACK BROKEN IN
AUTO ACCIDENT, DIED FRIDAY

was organized in May, 1918, with 25
charter members. Twenty mem
bers have left the club, two by death
and others by removal from the city.
A violin and saxaphone duet by
Otto Ellison and LATE Flaten, were
features of the entertainment. A vocal
solo by Hal Davies was appreciated.
An address on the Einstein theory by
DR.. A. M. Hardaway was enlightening
considering that the doctor did not
know that he was on the program un-
til he saw his name printed there. He
"got away" we'll with some coaching.
Master Harold Montgomery, a Boy
Scout of the first class, gave an I'M
usually interesting talk on stamps of
foreign countries: The young man
has made special study of foreign
stamps and has an interesting col
lection. He shows that he is cup" in
geography, better than most grown
ups and he has been a close reader of
the Literary Digest and other like
magazines. He knows the subject of
foreign exchange we'll and his talk
was interesting and educational. He
exhibited some Russian stamps on an
envelope recently received by Sam
Bader from relatives in Russia. 1t
requires 10000 rubles worth of
stamps to send a letter and it now
requires 5000 rubles to make a cent
in American money. Before the war
Russian ruble was worth about So
cents. How the mighty hath fallen.
1t required 100000 rubles for post
card and the stamps are so large
that one end of them is pasted to the
card, the others being wrapped about
the card.

X. X. SYMPATH1ZERS PUT SOAP
IN TENDER

Darlington, Aug. 12.-Strike SYM
pathizers at Darlington put 10 bars of
white laundry soap in the water ten
der of the Northern Pacific freight en-
CINE that makes the Turtle Lake run
every other day, Sunday night, while
the engine and crew were laying over
here.
When the crew fired up Monday
morning and made the run to Sykes
ton, the water started to foam and was
shot out of the boiler as fast as it
could be drawn in, thereby losing all
motive power. The freight cars were
left halfway to Sykeston and the en-
CINE was run back to Darlington
where Engineer Fred Anderson clean
ed out the water tender, finding half
a pail Of SOAP
Graphite was also put in the cylin-
ders, F.. M. Shriner, conductor, said,
and the engine had to be taken to
jamestown to be overhauled before it
could be used again. The sympathiz-
ers are thought to have been l. w. W.
hos that have been organizing here.
The strike has been affecting Car
rington materially the last week, MAX
ing the north bound Northern Pacific
passenger late every day for two
weeks. Tuesday the train was delay
ed two and one-half hours, due to a
defective engine. The train was
started and the engine failed to re-
spond and had to be taken back and a
new locomotive substituted. The 500
Line trains also have been late con-
tinually.

Peter Faas, rs, whose back was
broken in an auto accident, twelve
miles southwest of Minot four weeks
ago last Monday, passed away at St.
Joseph's hospital Friday night at $3.50
o'clock, week after an operation
was performed, as, his only possible
chance for recovery.
An X-Ray examination showed that
the fifth vertebrae had been fractured,
which caused a pressure on the spinal
cord, causing paralysis from the third
rib down. Mr.. Faas was conscious to
the very last speaking to his brother
in-law, Geo. Harrington, minute or
two before he breathed his last.
The funeral was held from St. Leo's
Catholic church Monday afternoon at
2 o'clock, Rev. Jos. Raith in charge
and the remains were buried in the
Catholic cemetery in this city.
Mr.. Faas was returning to Minot
from visit with Plaza friends, when
the automobile driven by Eddie West
rum, struck rut and overturned at
the side of the road. One of the front
tires blew out causing the accident.
Peter was asleep in the rear seat at
the time and when he was awakened
he found himself helpless at the side
of the road. Westrum was under the
car, but not severely injured. West
rum walked to the Webster farm, a
fourth of mile distant and a neigh
Dor was summoned, with his car, the
injured man being taken to the Web
ster home where he was rendered all
the assistance possible. Later in the
day he was brot to Minot hospital.
The deceased was born in Appleton
Wis, 25 years ago the Path day of
April and came west, locating at SEQ
hey, Mont, several years ago. He
came to Minot two years ago and was
employed as deliveryman for the
Granite Springs Water Co., and was
once employed by Geo. W.. Kemper.
At the time he was injured, he was
employed by the International Har-
vester Co.
He is survived by his parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Bert Faas of this city, a
brother Ernest, Of Summit, S. D., and
two sisters, Mrs. C. J. Davis of SEQ
hey, Mont, and Mrs. Geo. Harrington
of this city.
