THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 191 1. ¥ MORE BAD LUCK FOR MILLBACH Jury Returns Judgment of $35 and Costs Against Him. Bad luck continues to haunt Peter Millbach. It was he who, a year ago, fell from the top of a tall telephone pole and broke his jaw and received other injuries which made him un- conscious and which confined him in the hospital a long time. Finally he recovered, resumed his work with the telephone company and sought to establish a small farm at Wilton near here and he moved his family there when, a few days ago, while his wife had taken the children to school and there was no one at home, the house caught fire from an over- heated pipe and burned together with money which was taken from the bank for the purchase of cattle. There was no insurance on the house. Now comes the latest blow. A jury in municipal court has given a verdict against Millbach of $35 and costs as the result of action brought by Duncan McDougal for an unpaid board bill. McDougal form- erly was proprietor of the Park Ho- tel here and it was during that time that Millbach became indebted to him. Attorney M. J. Brown appeared for Millbach. RULES AGAINST BREWING FIRM Wright Denies Duluth Company Re- quest New Trial in Melges Case. In the case of Melges Bros. Co., and the firm of L. L. Berman against the Duluth Brewing & Malting Company, Judge Wright has filed an order de- nying the motion of the Brewing Company for a new trial. This case was tried at the last February term of court, and the jury found a ver- dict for Melges Bros. Co., and L. L. Berman. The case arose from the fact that the Duluth Brewing Co., under a writ of attachment against Louis Bloosten, took from the pos- session of Melges Bros. Co. a stock of liquors and glassware which former- 1y belonged to Bloosten, and sold the same under execution, the action be- ing brought to recover the value of the property so attached and sold. Graham M. Torrance appeared as at- torney for Melges Bros. Co. and L. L. Berman, and Judge M. A. Spooner ap- peared as attorney for the Brewing company.

Fussy Man (hurrying into newspaper office)—I've lost my spectacles some- where, and 1 want to advertise for them, but I can’t see to write without them, you know. Adveftising Clerk (likely to be business manager some day)—I will write the ad. for you, sir. Any marks on them? Fussy Man— Yes, yes. Gold rimmed, lenses differ- ent focus, and letters L. Q. C. on in- side. Insert it three times. Advertis- ing Clerk—Yes, sir. Ten shillings. please. Fussy Man—Here it is. Ad- wvertising Clerk—Thanks. It gives me, sir, great pleasure—very great pleas- ure, to inform you, sir, that your spec- tacles are on top of your head. Fussy Man—My stars! So they are. Why didn’t you say so before? Advertising Clerk—Business before pleasure, you know.—London Mail. i Why They Died. Naturally applicants for life insur- ance may be expected to put as good a face .as possible on the reports con- cerning relatives and the causes of their deaths; but they sometimes make rather amusing statements. Some one has collected a few of these which were originally published in the Brit- ish Medical Journal: “Mother died in infancy.” ‘“Father went to bed feeling well and the next morning woke up dead.” “Grandfa- ther died suddenly at the age of 103. Up to this time he bid fair to reach a ripe old age.” ‘‘Applicant does not know cause of mother’s death, but states that she fully recovered from her last illness.” “Applicant has never been fatally sick.” *Applicant’s broth- er, who was an infant, died when he was a mere child.” “Grandfather died from gunshot wound caused by an ar- row shot by an Indian.” *Applicant’'s fraternal parents died when he was a child.” “Mother's last illness was caused from chronic rheumatism, but she was cured before death.” *“Father died suddenly; nothing serious.”—Jour- nal of American Medical Association. Loaded For Economy. A fireman was up for examination for promotion to the position of engi- neer. He passed a fair test on the rules and machinery, but during all of it the examiner was constantly lec- turing him as to the neéd of economy in the use of fuel and oil, so that by the time he finished his examination it was pretty well on his nerves. Hav- ing finished the technical part, the ex- aminer thought he would put the man in a critical position to see what he might do in an emergency. So he put this question: “Supposing you are the engineer of a freight train on a single track, and you are in danger of a head- on collision with a passenger train, and you know that you could not stop your train—that a collision could not be averted—what would you do?” The man, unstrung by the vigorous in- struction he had received as to econ- omy, replied in this way: “Why, I would grab the oil can in one hand and a lump of coal in the other and jump.”—Atchison Globe. Candle Making In China. The manufacture of candles in China 1s no new thing. Years before the advent of the foreignmer the na- tives made them by crude methods and used them in home and temple. Even today millions of candles are made by the old process of dipping, at which the old Chinese are very ex- pert. A mixture of tallow and castor ofl is first prepared and the operator, placing a straw to serve as a wick between each of his ten fingers, dips them into the preparation as many times as necessary to give the candles the desired thickness. After this they are set up on end against a- board to harden and the straw wicks clipped to a proper length. The finished prod- uct burns well, gives a fair light, is consumed slowly, and, best of all, in native eyes, is very cheap. These can- dles are usually made by small fac- tories for sale to storekeepers, but many individuals still manufacture for family and temple use. Buddist Priests of Burma. Every morning after sunrise the Buddhist priests of Burma go out in Indian file, preceded by a boy with a bell, which he rings at intervals. This warns the people of their approach, and it is wonderful to see with what reverence the people regard these priests. Immediately the bell rings a Burmese woman runs out with her of- fering of rice, bananas, eggs or the best that her house can provide. No words of greeting are exchanged. The offerings are made and received in si- lence. The Buddhist priests may not receive money. This is why they have to beg for their daily bread. Days of the Week. While the Egyptians named the days of their week, the Jews numbered them only, the first day of the week being always the day after thé weekly Sabbath. Fifteen different methods of Sabbath counting are known to have existed during the last 4,000 years, in- cluding every day of the week, weeks of different and varying length, from six to ten days, and months of various and varying length. He'd Eat the Thistle. A discuéisiéh on appointments to the Most Noble Order of the Thistle gave rise to a caustic saying on the part of Disraell. Among the names suggested was that of a certain peer, who displayed more zeal than judg- ment in his support of the Conserva- tive party. “Oh, no!” remarked his ungrateful chief. “I couldn’t give Lord —— the Thistle. He'd eat it.”—London Graphic. OO A Simple Twist of the Wrist. “You know Jones, who was reputed 80 rich? Well, he died the other day, and the only thing he left was an old Dutch clock.” “Well, there’s one good thing about it—it won’t be much trouble to wind up his estate.”—Sacred Heart Review.

Should a citizen of the United States attempt to enter Russia without a passport he would be turned back at the frontier. Should he arrive in Rus- sian waters he will not be permitted to disembark until he has produced the necessary document, properly vised by a Russian consular or diplomatic offi cer. Indeed, the mere possession of an American passport is not sufficient. for the regulations of the Russians prescribe that the credential must be vised before the frontier is crossed. Better to lose one’s purse than one’s passport in Russia. Funds may be cabled for and received in the course of a few hours, but it is a question of weeks where a passport is concerned. Russian officials are usually courteous to American visitors who do not dis- play too much curiosity about certain unspeakable Russian institutions, but let them find a traveler in the interior without a passport and the luckless one’ will speedily see the inside of a Russian jail, and sooner or later be conducted to the nearest point of the frontier.—Travel Magazine. Astronomical Facts. The diameter of the sun is reckoned at 882,000 miles. This diameter, ow- ing to its loss of heat and the conse- quent condensation, is steddily being shortened, though at a very slow rate, of course. The whole solaF system— the sun and all of its planets—is mov- -ing - through space: at a pace.estimat- ‘ed-at‘about ‘150,000,000 of infles annu- ally. ‘Those who are supposed to know about the matter assure us that, owing to certain causes, too numerous and complicated to be dealt with in this place, the planet on which we live recelves only the 2,250-millionth part of the heat that is thrown off by the sun. Even as it s thé ea¥th recelves annually from the-sun an amount of heat that exceeds by a million times the heat producible by the combustion of 280,000,000 tons of coal.—New York American. v Kindness Misdirected. “What has become “of the meer- schaum pipe?’ inquired an inveterate smoker. ) i “Well, my dear,” his wife replied, “it was getting awfully discolored, so I gave it a coat of white enamel, and it is not quite dry yet!” Seif Deception.
