Paris, Sept. 6.—The Society of Telephone Subscribers, an association which grew out of the chaos and in- sufficiency of the government-owned telephones in France, has just made known the history of the lawsuit of Dr. Seroison, of Paris, against the telephone administration. The doctor was frequently bother- ed by patients informing him that they could not obtain his number, or that if the number was obtained, the reply frequently was that no such person as Dr. Serioson was known at the address. Five years of this pass- ed. Then, having lost many patients through bad telephone strvice, the doctor investigated and discovered that his number had been given to a laundress and to still another person as well as to himself. So he brought suit. He got a verdict for $40 damages, but the administration appealed and the verdict was reversed, the court finding that the state, though pro- prietor of the telephone lines, was not responsible for errors committed in the official directory. fon ARRESTED FOR RESCUE. Vienna, Sept. 6.—Hungarian offi- cialdom does not admit that you have any right to stop a train just be- cause you want to jump out and res- cue a drowning person. A passenger on the state railway found this out, when traveling across the bridge over the Waag river, he saw a boat cap- size. Its occupant was obviously in dan- ger of drowning so he promptly pull- ed the signal to stop the train and plunged into the river. His fellow passengers cheered lustily when he got the drowning man safely to the bank, but the guard pointed out that the train was in no danger and that coysequently it was a misdemeanor | to pull the danger signal, and when | the train reached Nicutra, he gave the heroic rescuer into custody. The man was eventually released with a warning, thanks to the protests of the passengers. WILL TAX BACHELORS. Vienna, September 6.—By a ma- Jjority of fifteen to one the town coun- cil of Nagy Perkata, Hungary, has decided to tax bachelors for the ben- efit of the childrens’ hospital.

London, September 6.—That the 500,000 natives who form the popu- lation of the Indian state of Jhala- war are to have a chance of trying constitutional government, is due largely to their ruler’s desire for a new sensation. The Maharaja of Jhalawar, is an enlightened despot who is allowed a pretty free hand by was tickled to death by British par- liamentary methods and immediately decided to experiment on his own ac- count. Like a cautious despot, how- ever, he isn’t going to allow his sub- jects too much freedom all at once, and he does not figure on giving votes to more than about 5,000 of his most trustworthy men just yet. BAD MEXICAN SITUATION Boston, Mass., Sept. 6.—The cruis- er Des Moines, in command of Com- mander Charles B.

M. E. Ingalls Seventy. Cincinnati, 0., Sept. 6.—Melville E. Ingalls, former president of the “Big Four” system and for many years one of the leading railway ex- ecutives of the country, reached his seventieth birthday anniversary to- day. Mr. Ingalls, like so many oth- er men who have risen to eminence in America, is a product of a New England farm. He was born and ed- ucated in Maine and was a practicing lawyer when, in the early ’70s, he began his railroad career as receiver of the old Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Lafayette road. By a series of reorganizations and consolidations he put the railroad and its successor, the C. I. St. L. and C., on a sound footing. In addition to his connec- tion with the “Big Four,” Mr. In- galls served for more than ten years as president of the Chesapeake and Ohio road. Work of the Unhonored. Let George Eliot speak: “The growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts, and that things are not so i1l with you ind me as they might have been is palf owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life and rest in unvisited tombs.” Flsh-Catching cCat. Willlam Grant of Northampton, ¢ass,. owns a cat that furnishes him with fresh fish. The cat enjoys sit- Ing at the edge of her owner's ice pond, it is said, and scooping up un- the British authorities, and while in ndon he amused himself by looking the constitutional system. He wary fish with her paw. The cat has brought fresh fish to the house sev- TACT BETTER THAN COMMAND Good Idea to Let “Less Criticism and More Comradeship” Be Your Guiding Motto. “Less criticlsm and more comrade- ship,” would be a helpful maxim for all homes. It is easy enough to be pleasant to the casual acquaintance, but the great difficulty lies in being decent to those who are devoted to us—to those who are ever willing to forgive our short- comings. There is no duty above treat- ing your friends courteously and try- ing to illuminate the general monot- ony of the lives of those you love. In home life tact will succeed often where command will fail. Sugges- tions will go farther than argument. Direction is so much better than dic- tation. Criticism of loved ones is a vice that takes possession of one like a stimulant, or a drug, once it is en- couraged. It may begin in our so- calle¢ high moral standard and hatred of sin. But once it becomes a habit, it is indulged in for the satisfaction it gives, An Eden can be ruined by constant fault-finding, selfishness, and with- holding the words of praise. A para- dise can be created by small kindness- es and by thinking sweet and helpful thoughts of those about you. The next time you feel like criticis- ing a loved one, force yourself to say something complimentary to him in- stead. Try it and see if you won't be hap- pier. Sunday Trading Discouraged. For selling an egg and an orange to 2 child on a recent Sunday a dealer was fined 1s. and 9s. costs, or seven days in prison, at Borwick, Scotland. The chief constable said Sunday trad Ing was being put down in the town, and there had been complaints about the accused. PAID ADVERTISEMEN ($10.00 for Series). I announce myself as a Republican candidate for nomination to the of- fice of county attorney for Beltrami county at the primaries September 17th. If nominated and elected I will continue to conduct that office econ- omically, as a purely business one, and in no sense as a political office.
