re-arrested on a charge of violation OF
the Man Act When this came up Tor
hearing before the U. S. Commissioner,
the evidence was positive that there
was no intent to transport the girl
over the state line for immoral pur-

ed, much to the chagrin of the sher-

ney, who seemed intent on railroadlng
Larson, eveidently for a before-elec-

This he did, and Greenup and Larson
drove out to where the couple were
"camped," the trip resulting In Larson
driving the girl to WillistOn, as Green
ups car was out of commission.
The sheriff's office deputized a citi-
zen to go after the girl and, also, told
Greenup that he had better go get her
and hadn't better come back empty
handed, and, on Greenup's assertion
that he was broke, the sheriff's office
furnished him with $40 for expenses.
He went to his sisters, only to find
that the law, in the person of the de-
putized deputy, had already grabbed
the girl and flown Wolf POintwards

Janette was under the watchful eye of
the sheriff, but not behind the bars;
the girl was quartered at the Sherman

Janette and the girl was later re-

He explained that he and the Finger
girl had stayed in the open from Sun
day afternoon to Tuesday, sleeping the
two nights in a strawstack few miles
east of town that on Tuesday she was
taken to the home Of a sister of Will

out of Williston, n D., by Helmer Lar
son, a fellow worker of Greenup's and
that her purpose was to finally work
her way to the home Of her own father
in Canada.
According to his story, there had
been nothing improper in his relations
with the girl He had attempted, in
vain, to induce her to return home, but
she had stubbornly refused, and he
would not leave her alone until some
way out could be devised.

"TUilighf" of Minds
Might Work Wonders

To most grown-ups the child mind
ID an enigma, and 1t is reasonable to
suppose that the grown-up mind is an
enigma to the child. So that, If there
be sudden twilight" for few hours,
great changes would be apparent in
the behavior of the one to the other,
a writer in the Westminster Gazette
comments.
Take, for instance, meal time-a
period when youth and maturity wage
eternal warfare-Mary and Bobbie
would appreciate mothers dislike to
messy, noisy meals, and mother
would realize in flash how tiresome
and dull it is to sit quiet and be care
full and clean and good right through
all the courses.
Naturally, a compromise would be
effected. Mary would only drop her
spoon once, and not see how far she
could lean over to pick it up, capsiz-
ing the chair and herself and knock
ing her glass of water over at one
fell swoop. Bobbie would tip his
plate (probably). but not at such an
acute angle that the tableeloth would
be drenched with rhubarb juice.
As for mother, instead of los
ing herself in gloomy contemplation
of the years to pass before she could
have her meals In peace, she would
chat companionably and limit consid-
erably her number of "don'ts."

Easy to Lose Way in
British Guiana Bush

British Guiana bush lie a dangerous
maze. Savages find their way by
means Of secret marks, but a tender
foot enters at great risk. The coun-
try Is five times the size of England.
and there are not more than ten white
men who have gone into the wilds Of
the interior, according to D. Banner
man Clarke, NJ. A., general manager
of the Aranka Gold, Ltd, of George
town, British Guiana. "The natives"
he says, have the most marvellous
sense Of direction and find their way
through the jungle with unerring pre-
cision. They have a sort of sign Ian
guage. They make marks on trees
which only they understand, and If
some one has followed the natives he
can always tell how large the party
was, whittier they went and just when
they passed the given spot, by these
curious marks on the trees made with
cutlasses. They also leave marks for
their own guidance when they turn
about and start homeward. Once you
know the bush and Its hidden sign Ian
guage 1t Is almost as easy to get about
as In the open, but if a tenderfoot
gets lost he Is In hopeless maze
az has very little chance of getting
out alive.

Colonists Called On
to "Trode" at Home

In a copy of the Providence Gazette
issued during the Colonial period ap-
pears an amusing item of local news.
which, if literally adhered to, doubt
less would have devastated a portion
Of New England of its household cats.
The copy of the paper bears the date
OF November %. 1867, and one readily
discerns that the residents of that
Rhode Island city regarded them
selves at the. time as loyal subjects Of
George III. The article reads: "a
number of householders in this town
will engage to supply the public with
the article of Catskins of American
breed. not inferior to British ones. for
making Muffs and Tippets. There
are at this time a large number of
his majesty's American cats, finely
colored and spotted, who are bad
mousers and now ready to be sacri-
feed for the good purpose of muffs
and tippets, and 1t Is hoped that all
persons who wish we'll to America
will give the preference to his ma
jesty's catskins before those of for
eign growth. AS muffs and tippets
are thought to be of the first impor-
lance, it would be well worth the con-
sideration of all lovers of this coun-
try whether we ought not to encour-
age the use and consumption Of our
own catskins in preference of all
others. The learned assure us that
the American catskins are vastly SUI
perior to those Of Europe, being Of
finer fur and more beautifully varie-
gated with spots and streaks."

Declares Neat Farms
Indicate Prosperity

If you want to realize the need of
tidy farms just take trip through a
country new to you, says q writer In
Farm Life. never had the same re-
spect for what little care of lands
ana home grounds could mean for a
farm as l did after passing through
hundreds of miles with the varied as
poets that such trip can afford. 1t is
natural for the traveller to gauge the
prosperity of the farmers and the pro-
duction of the soil by the homes and
farms. have Travelled for whole day
without seeing a single really badly
kept farmhouse and nearly every farm
had big, well-painted barn of two and
silos ana orchards and well-kept
grounds. Generally trees were planted
to protect not only the home but the
barns and stock yards from severe
north aud west winds. 1t did not take
assessors figures to tell me that such
community was prosperous. / would
not expect to buy farms there for q
price | should pay for a farm ever
within days travel where few really
well-kept homes were in evidence and
where fences, grounds and farm lines
were neglected. l saw just such differ
ences in two states on my trip. | sup
pose | could have seen them every
where. The soil looked about the
same and the crops were looking much
the same. Creameries were abundant
in both, and saw many good herds Of
cattle. And probably, if the real facts
were known, the prosperity was no,
greatly different. But we could not
help but feel that we were among
less prosperous people and. friends
paint was about the biggest point OF
difference.
