Moss.Cathersrs Active

The so-called general farmer who
makes his annual income by means Of
a series Of activities which yields small
sums for the individual activity, but
sizable amount for the years total, oft
en- has strange ways of earning. For
instance. there Is fair income to be
derived from gathering moss. The
type that grows in water is partlcu-
larly desired by florists in the New
York area.
1t Is q common sight while driving
through the Catskill mountains to see
long pieces of moss festooned over
fences, drying for shipment to mar
ket. The moss is usually gathered by
the children and women folk on the
farms and makes welcome addition
to the incsme for the family.

Beautiful Bergen

A city has to be both unusual and
wonderfully beautiful to attract large
groups Of tourists from all over the
world and yet continue to be the wet
test OF one OF the wettest cities OF the
earth," but Bergen in Norway does
just that. Six feet of rain every year
falls In Bergen. which means rain ev-
cry day, but the sunshine between the
showers, the immaculate streets
cleaned almost hourly by Jupiter
Pluyius, the multitude of red-roofed
houses following the contour Of the
harbor, the splendid view Of the fjord
from the hills. the scenes of the labors
of lbsen. Bjornson and Bull make this
ancient Viking city one Of the great
tourist resorts Of the North.

Officials Forgot Duty
in Fear Of Peetilence


The plague in London In 1866 was
the poor mans plague, for the wealthy
deserted the city. They followed the
best preventive then known, which
was administered in three adverbial
pills-quick, far and late. That is, 20
quick, 60 far and return late. The
nobility and officials followed this ad-
vice thoroughly. The city courts were
closed, and the prisoners died in the
jails. The sole representative of the
government Of King Charles who re.
mained in London was the duke of
Albemarle. 1t was during this cpl
demic that the apothecaries of the city
won everlasting respect from the peo.
pie; they refused to leave their shops
and continued to dispense remedies
even though many physicians deserted
the city.-Dr. Howard Haggard In

The marines are out of Nicaragua.
Il some congressman have their way
the marines will be entirely out of
everything-out of business: and
that would be too bad.
The marines are not to blame for
where they get sent.
1t is doubtful if any soldiery would
have carried itself with a cooler head
IN Nicaragua. AS far as the marines
were concerned, they were not out
for conquest They come home bring
ing no titles to land.
But here are some interesting fig
ures: 1t cost about $50, ,OOO, 900, above
the usual cost of sustenance, to keep
the marines in Nicaragua. The total
of the American investment they
went there to protect is about $15,-
$1,000.
Of course it is said the marines
were sent to protect American lives.
That argument holds little if any
water; added to which is the sad fact
that a number of marines-American,
of course-lost THEIR lives in Mica
ragua.
Il Am Fugitive From Georgia
Chain Gang" has raised lot of rum
pus.
Not only has Gov. A. Harry Moore,
of New Jersey, refused to give the
author and ex-Georgia chain gang
member back to Georgia, but the
company that filmed the picture has
been sued for something like traduc-
ing the fair name of Georgia.
Georgia newspapers are up in arms
about the whole matter. The Atlanta
Constitution talks of the "defamatory
charges" against the state; and the
Savannah News thinks Georgia has
no need to be ashamed of it's prison
system.
But outside of Georgia adjectives
went on a spree and spread them
selves high, wide and handsome. Not
only is there all manner of sympathy
for Burns, the escaped chain-gang
member and author, but the chain
gang system, horrible and rotten,
gets what is coming to it.
While the governor of Georgia
indicates that New Jersey insulted
the state of Georgia. the nations
newspapers rejoice in the chance to
romp all over the place with things
harsher than anything Gov. Moore
could have thought Of.
Georgia and Florida chain gang
systems have held the spotlight be-
cause Of their brutality If those states
want admiration, let them do the
thing that is admirable.
Congress went into revolt against
higher income taxes in short order.
To put higher levies on the higher
brackets is one thing; to soak the
masses, already skinned to the bone,
is another.
1t has been remarked, "If the
states continue to raise taxes, we
can't" Well said, is that.
Almost whole counties are being
sold for taxes. Many communities
are broke because taxes can't be col
lected.
Somewhere in the landscape there
and maybe they are learning it.

He said the resolutions usually were
adopted on the day when interest be-
came due or the day before.
Reports on the final disposition of
these monies were included in his
monthly reports to the commission,
the defendant said on the stand.
On Stand Several Hours
Gammons had been on the witness
stand, under cross-examination by
Higgins, throughout the day. When
Judge Fred JansoniuS recessed court
at S p. m. until 8 q. m. Thursday, the
defendant had been on the stand
seven and one-half hours.
Questioned about a visit paid him
"early in February, 1888" at his
apartment by Attorney General A. j.
Gronna and James Mulloy, present
secretary Of the industrial commission,
Gammons said he wasn't afforded an
opportunity to explain the case.
Gronna, he said, told him that he
was not there for an explanation but
to demand that Gammons turn over
to him any money or records Of the
state of North Dakota then in his
possession, to serve notice on him that
he was to be arrested and to tell him
that warrants for his arrest were be-
ing prepared.

Since no funds were available IN

ton with which to pay Mrs. CAM
mons, the defense set out, at CAM
mons suggestion the 900 fund was
placed on certificate Of deposit at the
Bank of North Dakota to draw three
per cent interest with the ,i1ss-<.
standing that Mrs. Gammons' salary
Of SITS Z month would come from tho

Showed Me Nothing

Upon further questioning GAM
mons said that his visitors had

They stayed at Gammons' apart
ment for 10 or Is minutes on each
visit, the defendant testified. With
Gammons at the time was Gordon
Cox, Bismarck attorney, who at that
time was acting as his counsel.
The Photographic documents in
cluded copies of three Bank Of North
Dakota cashiers checks for $500 each,
one for upwards Of $3.50" and a fifth
for $l25. The booklet containing
these copies was labeled State Exhibit

the state failed in an effort to have
them accepted by the court as EVIL
