The inspection of ballots in the senatorial contest in which the Polk County Republican central com- mittee is endeavoring to show that A. D. Stephens and not John Saug- stad was elected senator from Polk county, was resumed yesterday morn- ing. Up to Saturday evening the ballots from eight townships had been inspected and the Stephens ad- herents claim that about 135 ballots which had been counted for Saug- stag should not have been because the stickers had been improperly placed. Practically every precinct will have the senatorial votes in- spected, those not being called for by one side being asked for by the other. Thus far Stephens has lost but one vote as compared with the election returns, and has gained one, so that his vote remains the same. The inspectors are holding their ses- sion in the grand jury room at the courthouse and their work is being witnessed by hundreds of interested spectators. The inspectors named by Judge Watts are G. A. E. Fin- layson of East .Grand Forks, W.]. Marin and Judge I. E. Gossman of Crookston. They will not finish be- fore Friday.

Seventeen are on the east side, which is not effected.

Others, should their places be closed, will quit the saloon business. The northbound passenger on Tuesday was derailed at a switch at Big Falls. The switch lock was missing and the jar of the train pas- sing over caused the split rail to shift and the three last coaches en- tered the siding, while the engine and forward cars held the main line, derailing two coaches. The train had taken water just before and was moving slowly, or the ac- cident would probably have resulted more seriously. As it was the train was delayed a couple of hours.— International Falls Echo. The water in the Mississippi river at Brainerd is at an abnormally low stage and in case of a big fire the city would soon run out of a supply. The crib in the river is surrounded by a five foot wall of rock through which the water seeps very slowly, so slowly in fact that it would never flow strong enough for a sudden beavy demand as in case of a fire. The water and light board advises people not to waste water or it mag have to install a system of meters. The shortage of water coming so soon after Johnson’s dry order,makes the city gasp for breath, ) Last evening a number of young people met at the home of Dr. C. J.

Rented Wedding Cakes. There was something wrong with the cake, the baker said. It looked all right, and it smelled all right, but his artistic sense told him it would not taste all right. “Then fix it up with an extra coat of icing and we will keep it for a renter,” said the proprietor. “Who in the world would rent a cake?” some one asked. “Wedding parties,” said he. “They want a big cake in the center of the table for show, but a cake of that size good enough for a wedding would cost more than they can afford to pay, so they order fine.cake put up in individ- ual boxes for the guests and use the bride’s cake just as an ornament. They don’t buy it; they rent it. Sometimes a cake is rented a dozen different times. After each wedding it is fresh- ened up with a new coat of icing and looks as good as new for the next oc- casion. A good renter fetches about $3 a wedding.”—New York Press. Sarcastic Cabby. A certain nobleman, who may be called Lord X., bears the reputation of being somewhat stingy in money matters. On a wet afternoon he hired f cab to take him to Victoria station. Arrived at the station, he handed the cabman a shilling and of course was met by the inevitable demand for an extra sixpence. “Certainly not,” said the other promptly. “You came the longest way as an excuse to extort money. Why didn’t you go through St. James’ park?” The cabman saw he had no chance and said sneeringly:. “Cos St. James’ That's why.” “Nonsense,” said the other sternly. “It’s right, though,” was the grave reply. “They say that Lord X. dropped a shilling coming across the park last evening, and the gates are closed until they fnd it.’—London Tit-Bits. ~ park is closed. Shut Her Up. A young wife was continuously pes- tered by her mother-in-law about the way she was bringing up her firstborn babe. The young wife was intelligent and capable, and she was really doing very well with the baby. From her mother-in-law, however, she got neth- ing but sour advice, warnings and veil- ed abuse. One day the mother-in-law, looking fixedly at the mother with her baby on her lap, said angrily: “A woman has no right to have a child if she doesn’t know how to hold it “No, nor a tongue either,” was the quiet reply.—Detroit Free Press. Be “Berle,” from which Berlin has caught her name, means unculivated land. Slavonian Wends, the earliest settlers on the sandy plain, could make but little out of the soil. The popula- tion in 1832 was only 250,000. Less than forty years later it was 800,000, and now it runs into 2,000,000. The man who gave to Berlin its present form was Frederick IL, but Frederick the Great and the Great Elector started the noble hobby of beautifying the wonderful city. The Mantle of Charity. The lady was making some remarks about the kind of clothing some ather ladies at church had on. . “The finest garment a woman can wear,” said her husband, “is the man- tle of charity.” b 3 “Yes,” she snapped, “and 1t is about the only dress, judging by the fuss they make over the bills, that some husbands want their wives to wear.” Sweden’s “Church Boat.” The “church boat” is a popular instl- tution in Sweden. - It brings families to service from the farms around Lake Biljan to Leksand. The water route s the nearest and most convenient, and 8o the big boat goes from farm to farm along the shore picking up the ehurch- goers, who later return by the same route—Wide World Magazine, - Counting the Cost. ¢ “What's the cost of a marriage 1~ cense?” asked a youth whose fancy had”lightly turned to thoughts of cen- nubial felieity. Z “Well,” answered his friend, “S0 shi}- Bings down and your entire salary eaeh week for the rest of your lifel”—Lon- don Telegraph. 2 ~Where Time Doesn’t Count. A party of East Indian natives wese found sitting in a row on the plat: form of a station after the train had left, and, being asked the reason, ome of the men replied, “Oh, sahib, we are walting till the tickets are cheapem’ Her Father’s Job. The young daughrer of a popular Chicago clergyman some time ago manifested a quick wit. Her father had- gone on a brief holiday with a business parishioner and associate, and’ the talk of the children turned on the problem of - which father needed the rare rest most sorely. “Well, 1 think my father works the bardest,” said little 'Miss Business, “ant his work keeps him stirred up and ‘anxious’ most of the time.” . “Your father may work thé hardest in one-way,” was little Miss Clergy- man’s answer, at once thoughtful and diplomatic, “but I think he gets more rest;as he goes along. You see, he can let down a little evenings and Sun- days, and if he gets cross and nervous nobody says anything. But my daddy has to be better than ever Sundays and evenings, because then everybody’s taking notice and the whole lot of us children are around.”—Chicago Rec- ord-Herald. ; Shortened His Wait. “Experience,” said Mark Twain once. “makes us wise, but it also makes us hard. Consider the old, experienced man in the busy restaurant. He took a-seat, looked round him and, point- ing to a well dressed gentleman who had not yet been served, said to the waiter: man been here?" z § ‘“‘About - twelve minutes, sir,’ the waiter answered. % 3 “‘What'’s his order? ; “‘Porterhouse and French fried, sir. with mince pie and coffee to come.” “The old man, hardened by experi- ence, slipped a quarter in the waiter’s hand. “‘Waliter,” he said. ‘I'm in a hurry. Put on another porterhouse and bring me his.’” - Fresh Discovery of an Old Truth. Helen’s enjoyment of the. party given in honor of her ninth birthday was nearly spoiled by the ill tempered ‘outbreaks of a very pretty and well dressed little girl who was among her guests. A peacemaker appeared, how- ever, in a plain and rather shabby child, who proved herself a veritable little angel of tact and good will. After her playmates were gone Hel- en talked it all over very seriously withs her mother.. She summed it up in this piece of philosophical wisdom: “Well, I've found out one thing. mamma.
