Turned to Annoyance
By Raps of Visitors

Possession Of a new and interesting
curio by the state historical museum
here may prove an annoyance to
judges Of the supreme court unless q
fence Is built around 1t.
The relic is the ships bell Of the
U. s. 8. North Dakota, which was dis
mantled several years ago. The state
already had possession Of the ships
silver service and the emblem on its
PROV. The bell was added recently and
Is an outstanding addition to the OBJ
jectS In the state museum.
The trouble lies In the fact that It
Is an unusually good bell. A rap with
the knuckles makes 1t ring loud and
clear through the Liberty memorial
building, in which the supreme court
and several other offices are located.
The temptation to rap the bell ap-
parently affects many persons, for its
mellow tones may be heard at almost
any hour Of the business day.
The bell, although retired from
service, Is said to be larger than any
other In Bismarck.

down d.. Platou's sign and, 1t was
charged. otherwise inconvenienced
him and embarrassed his practices as
