ESKIMO WHO ATE WIGTIM FREED BY JUR (Continued from Page One.) hope the next day, when lines cast out behind the ‘boat draw in a 20-pound lake trout for the party’s sustenance. There is the winter in Dease Bay, in the cabin of the murdered mission- aries, and one harrowing picture of the month spent by the police in drag- ging themselves 150 miles across the barren land to the frozen Arctic sea, There is the capture, by forced marches, of the suspected: Eskimos in the Coppermine river district, the dis- covery of the blood-stained cassocks, the Bibles, beads and crosses, the ar- rest and the confession, in which the Eskimos told how they dissected and roasted the bodies of their human vic- tims, ‘ And then—the story of the 3,000- mile trip back; just the simple story of traveling 3,000 miles through hard- ships and perils that long ago caused the northlanders to decide that if there is a hell it is a region not of fiery but of icy torments. And now the two Eskimos suffer- ing torments of the damned in Edmon- ton jail because of the heat that seeped in from the streets below, eat ice cream by the pint. And thende, if acquittal on the first trial is confirmed by the hearings on the murder of the other priest, they will flee back to the snows and ice trodden by white men for the first time when Inspector Lanouze, Consta- ble Lamont and their companions car- ried to success the longest chase in the annals of the mounted police. Secret of Spider's Walk. The way a spider moves its eight legs in walking is interestingly de scribed by a science authority. In or- der to observe this movement at his leisure—for it is usually too rapid to be followed by the juman eye—ho tired the spiders by making them swim and then let them walk slowly over a smooth surface. In this way he dis- covered: 1. The longest legs, those ot the first and fourth pairs, move along lines of their own directions by ver- tical bending of the joints; the short- er legs of the second and third pairs move forward by rotation from tho coxae (the joints connecting legs with the body)—at right angles to their own directions. 2. First near leg”moves with third off leg; (a) second near leg moves with third off leg; (b) third near leg moves with second off le; (c) fourth near leg moves with first off leg; (d). 8. Walking consists ot | (a) and (c) simultaneously, followed | by (b) and (d) simultaneously. A Good Listener. The horse is really one of the best listeners in the world. He is always on the alert for sounds which concern or interest him. When he looks at anything he turns his ears towards it to observe the better whether any sound comes from it. If a horse is particularly interested {n your driving of him he always turns his ears back- ward toward you, but if he has no con- cern on that subject or if he sees any- thing ahead that interests him he keeps his ears pricked forward. A horse hears the whinny of another! horse at a greater distance than the average man can hear it.—Boston Transcript. No Clothespins in China. The American housewife carries around a big bag of clothespins every Monday. The Chinaman twists two clotheslines together and thrusts ths corners of the washing between the two strands, where they are held as firmly as clothespin ever held them, says the “Christian Herald.” The in- troduction of clothespins will not help the Chinese, and even such revolution- {zing products as the sewing machine, the electric light and the phonograph, which give to Americans leisure, eve- nings of good reading and grand opera at home, may mean longer hours of toil for the Chinese, or unwholesome Pleasures when the work is finished. Horse Was a Little Slow. Seagirt would not lie, I know, but he is dreadfully careless with the truth. He sald that the horse he hired to go to Glenellen last summer was so slow that a spider wove its | web in the wheel. Children came and | made mud pies in the shade of the | buggy. At one point he had an excit- ing race with a caterpillar. A wom- an came out and asked him to please drive a little faster, he was keeping the sun off her tomatoes. He said the horse was slower than a barber he knows, who is so slow that the whis- kers grow faster than he can shave, and by the time he is through the cum FOREIGN BORN CITIZENS: ARE CHANGING MIND Many Aliens Considered Natural- ized Americans Discover When Drafted They’re Not casionally, holding office. even, and otherwise availing himself of the priv- ileges of citizenship, but who now seeks to avoid paying the penalty of American citizenship by representing himself as an unnaturalized alien, pre- sents a problem to the local exemp- tion boards of North Dakota. A number of instances of this kind have been reported to the district board. In many cases, it is stated, the claimant for exemption as an alien has succeeded in amassing a tidy for- tune during his residence here; his rights as a citizen never have been questioned, and he never has hesitat- ed to avail himself of such rights, but now that he is asked to do his bit for Uncle iSam he suddenly discovers that he is a subject of some other country. The practice in such cases seems to be to place the burden of proof on the shoulders of the alien. can satisfy the board that he is not a citizen, he is considered as an Amer- ican, and if accepted, is certified to the district board as such. In any event affidavits of such registrants cannot be easily verified. The board has completed certifying lists of accepted registrants for the present to county boards and the ad- jutant general, and the next two days will be devoted to preparations for tho consideration of agricultural and oc- cupational claims and of appeals. Next Monday it is anticipated more names will be ready to certify. EVERYBODY DENIES RESPONSIBILITY FOR NORMAL HEAD STORY State Auditor Kositzky Admits Now That He Was Wrong —Taylor in the Dark There is a very unanimous denial on the part of state officials today of cial directory of state officers the name of Edward J. Taylor, former state superintendent of pulic instruc- tion, as the president of the new Dick- inson normal. , Mr. Taylor, himself, had heard noth- ing of the alleged appointment until he saw yesterday’s story in The Tri- bune, which emanated from Dickinson, the home of the new state normal,| and which was carried by the Dick- inson Press last week. Bright and early this morning State Auditor Kositzky, who was out of town yesterday and could not be reached, called up The Tribune aud advised that he hi ade a inistake in presenting the n. of Mr. Taylor as head of the Dickinson normal As stated yesterday, the state hoa of regents has been from: the start s ent on this subject having no inten- tion of making appointment, or at least of announcing the appointment new, for an office which iz not to be filled for a year. Secretary Brewer of the state board advised yesterday that he had endeav- ored without success to learn the source of the info tion upon which State Auditor Kositzky published the appointment of Mr. Taylor as head of the new normal, Although the official directory has been out several weeks, the fact that his name appeared therein as head of the new normal had not been brought to Mr. Taylor's attention until the ap- pearance of the Dickinson story last evening. He denies absolutely any knowledge of such appointment and regrets that his name has heen used in connection with the story. Inadvertently, it was stated in the Dickinson story that Mr. Taylor was defeated for re-election last fall by Mr. Macdonald. Mr. Talyor was not a candidate at the primaries or in the gencral election, having declined toj make another race for the office of state superintendent of public instru tion. Mr. Macdonald's opponent la: fall was W. E.

It is not my purpose to order the destruction of anything that is not absolutely a nuisance and a menace, but there are a number of old ‘uctures which answer this de scription, and it is necessary that they be razed. RULE OF THUMB NAVIGATION New England Sailors Stick to Sextant and Care Little for New-Fangled Nautical Instruments. Edward Hungerford, who made an investigation for Everybody’s to find out where the men are coming fron for our new merchant marine, relates some interesting incidents showing the New England sailors’ independence of new-fangled naut instruments, “Ask them about navigation,” he writes, “and they will bring out, with loving care, the sextant that was father's or Uncle Jim’s or, more likely, grand- father’s or one of the great-uncle’ They will point out the vernicr seule upon its bright face and say ‘to you— landlubber that you are: “She shoots the sun, get the latitude, A chart and the lat! tude—a lead line and jedgement—jedg- ment counts—and we can get anywhere between ihe Bermudas and Green- land?’ “‘TTow about the longitude?’ you venture. “*You certainly are a landlubber. The salt Iets you know that, with a single glance.’ Then he shows com- passion and relates an anecdote: “«TNere was a fellow sailing out of Gloucester and someone gave him a] its chronometer—that’s the instrument the scientific fellows get the wita. They explained it to him, an’ for three days he sailed by it—God knows where to. Then the dinged thing busts an’ he comes back te the sextant an’ gets to the banks only a little behind the rest of the fleet. But if that chronometer hadn't busted, by Judas Priest, stranger, he might lave} hit over in Portugal somewhere,’ ” PINES FOR OLOTIME ORATORY Writer Declares That Modern Speak- ers Fail to Satisfy Our Long- ing for Language. What has become of the old-fashi ed orator, the old boy who made the well known welkin ring? Modern speakers don't satisfy our longing for language. We remember at least three orators of the old school, One of them, at a funeral oration, spoke of youth and age. Said he: “Springtime’s brightest green must fade and pass away to be repiaced by drear Decem- ber’s somber hues.” t Another, telling of a visit he had! y | made to the place of his birth and boy- hood, told of looking into a spring around which he had played as a child, | He said: “When last I looked into its mirrored beauty I beheld the smiling face of a happy boy crowned with a mass of golden hain, Now T behold a somewhere on the French coast.” ters. home at last—in the concentration tomer has a full beard.—Exchange. charge against the Boches.
