MATISON STRONG FOR EXTRA SESSION (Continued from first page). - the indictment, after which Judge Spooner announced to the court: “We wish at this time that a plea of not guilty be entered.” Bonds Fixed at $3,000. “It is so ordered,” responded the court, “and I fix bonds in this in- stance at $3,000. The bonds will be executed and on file sometime dur- ing the day.” “In the meantime the doctor is at liberty?"” queried Judge Spooner. The judge nodded his assent and - court adjourned until this afternoon. ‘What Dumas is Now Held For. . The indictment which includes the names of the two Gearlds, Ed. Le- Claire, who still is at liberty, and Dr. Dumas, alleges that an attempt was made to burn, in an effort to collect insurance money, a frame building in Blackduck on March 19, last. The building was owned at the time by the Gearlds. Mercenary. “Do you think Harold loves me for myself alone?” “He would love you (or a loan.

From remotest Mexico comes this irecipe for chili con carne. which .is ;cnpnb]e of warming whatever cockles \the heart may have and of diffusing calories to one’s works at large: First comes a fire of logs in the open. Second comes. an olla of generous proportions. Into the olla put a gallon of water and plenty of the hot chilis, and in that region of Mexico they ripen so hot that not even the rattlesnake will dare take refuge in their shade. Upon this be- ginning lay as much of a side of beef in ope plece as may be squeezed into the pot. _Set the cover on this olla and lute it down with clay. Then put the pot into the fire and heap the glowing coals all over it, with particular atten- tion to tbe lid, so that the luting may bake into brick. Keep the fire burning slowly all day long. When night has come scatter the embers, breale the brick seal of the olla, fork out and throw away whatever of the meat re- mains solid. The remainder is the chili con carne. No sauce is needed. : The Love Affairs of Handel. ‘Women greatly admired Handel. who was very handsome, but the 'serenity of the composer seems only to have been ruffled twice by love on his part. - His first attachment was to a London girl, a member of the aris- tocracy. Her parents believed bim good enough to say that if he ab- stained from writing any more music the question of marriage might be en- tertained. It was easier to abstain from their daughter than from his art, and he did'so. Years after almost the other beautiful pupil of his fell in love with each other, and proud purents gave him the choice between giving up his profession or their daughter. Music, “heavenly maid,” was chosen.— “The Love Affairs of Some Famous Men.” Hitting the Doctor. As today, in the days gone by the doctors were made the target of the Jjester’s fling. Pausanias, the Spartan general, when asked by a physician bow it was that he was never ill, exultingly same thing occurred. Handel and an-: answered, “Because 1 never consult you." At another time Pausanias said that the best physician-was the one who dispafched his patients with the least possible suffering. Pausanias, strongly disapproving of a certain physician and his methods and berating him in no mild terms, was asked by a friend how, as be had never consulted that particular doctor, he could be so sure of his statements. Pausanias answered, “Well, bad 1 cou- sulted him would 1 be living today?’ A_Summer Without Nights. To the summer visitor in Sweden there is nothing more striking than the almost total-absence of night. At Btockholm, the Swedish capital, the sun goes down a few minutes before 10 o'clock and rises -again four hours later during a greater part of the mooth of June. Rut the four hours the sun lies hidden in the frozen north are not hours of darkness; The refraction of his rays as he passes around the north pole makes midnight as light as a cloudy midday and enables one to read the finest print without artificial light at any time during the “night.”” Put on His Guard.

Nobody ever says to me, ‘You are pretty.' It is al- ways ‘You look pretty.” There Is a dif- ference as wide ‘as the wideness of the sea.’ The girl who really is pretty never has to give the subject o thoughi. Nothing she can do or leave undope affects the vital fact that she is pretty. The girl whom nature has not thus dowered must be forever trying to make herself ‘look pretty.’ Of course in a way she deserves far more credit for making herself acceptable to the public than the pretty girl does—also it i3 a compliment to ber taste. in- genuity, skill and varifous other mental qualities to assure her she has attained success—but it always reminds her of the battle she must continually wage.” —Exchange. The Summerless Year. The year 1816 was called the “year ‘without a summer.” Spring came that year, but in its faintest form. Snow, cold rains and winds were incessant. It was the 1st of June before the tirst left the ground. The farmers planted their crops, but the seed wonld bardly sprout, and when they came to the sur- face there was not heat enough to make the frail plants grow. It Is re corded that during the month of June birds froze to death in the woods and fields. Small fruits, such as there ‘were, rotted on the stem, there being no birds to eat them. But little corn matured. Only in sheltered spots were good sized roasting ears to be found. Frosts prevailed every month in the year and almost daily.

Tolstoy and the Be ‘When Count Tolstoy was a young man he took part in a bear hunt that nearly ended fatally. When the heast charged him Tolstoy fired and missed. He fired a second shot, which bit the bear’s jaw and lodged between his teeth. Tolstoy was knocked down, fall- ing with his face in the snow. “There," he thought; “all is over with me.” He drew his head as far as possible be- tween his shoulders, exposing chiefly his thick fur cap to the beast’s mouth till she was able to tear with her upper teeth only the cheek under the left eye and with the lower teeth the skin of the left part of the forehead. At this moment-the famous bear hunt leader, Ostashkof, ran up with a small switch in his hands and cried out his usuai “Where are you getting to? Where are you getting to?” - This, says Tostoy, sent the bear scuttling off at her ut- most speed. ‘The Real Old Article. The stranger in Boston was inter- ested in the old family names of that oity.

The stranger looked up from his copy pad expectantly. “Is that all?”" he asked. “1 have given you a complete list of Boston's leading families,” the promi- nent townsman replied. “Not one of them dates back less thap six genera- tions."” The stranger stared. “But surely you bave other old fam- 1lfes of note in Boston?” “Marely transients.” icily replied the Boston mn.-ulaveland Plain Dale Asmuchnthuvenlnvlsmoun - Who does not know the value of sage and sulphur for keeping the hair dark, soft, glossy and in good condi- tion?
