If they want to enlarge their holdings reanJ the council is in position to grant any favors, what oiiid they want them for? It would be for nothing else an terminals. If this is true-Think it over. "The opposition talks about pty buildings as a result of no license. They will soon be cupied with other lines, drug stores, etc." Do the mer ants and others in business wish to invite competition and these empty buildings with competitors? Competition all mercantile lines is stringent enough now, in Lemmon if Rev. Holsaples argument is true we don't want it .We wide awake and equitable merchants in all lines now nd what is the profit in forcing additional costs and com etition upon them? 20.

The istributing rccords of one of the leading brewery firms in is country shows that each of the following towns in North akota. Ellendale, Monanga, Oakes and Edgeley received ore liquor during one year than Lemmon used for the same ear. It might not be sent to Blind Pigs but it "got there st the same."

Airuost everybody carries some—life, accident fire, fidelity, plate glass, partnership, burglary, marine or what not—and many occasionally find the payment of the regularly re currlng premiums a heavy tax, how ever greatly they may appreciate the advantages of holding the policies Everybody knows something about goats, but few would think of asso elating goats with Insurance or of ac quiring goats with a view to reducing the amount of their premiums. Yet ft large contracting firm in Kansas City keeps a herd of Angora goats for that very purpose. The company s yards cover many acres of ground, and the buildings and other equipment thereon represent an Investment of several hundred thou sand dollars. When the yards were first established the weeds and other vegetation on the property were con eldered by the underwriters to be dan gerous fire hazards, so much so that the rates charged were almost pro hibitlve. It was agreed, however, that if the weeds were kept down the premiums would be greatly reduced. But the cost of mowing the weeds and cutting down the undergrowth would have been In itself no incon siderable Item In the yearly budget The company accordingly bought a flock of Angora goats and turned thero loose In the extrahazardous yards. The goats now keep the yards cropped as close as a mowed lawn and not only save the firm a large amount an nually In fire Insurance premiums, but thrive so well on the objectionable vegetation and multiply so abundantly that they have actually returned a con alderable protlt on the amount of the company's capital that their purchaae represents.- Detroit Free Press. DYNAMITE ACCIDENTS. Same of the Stuff May Ramain After a Charge Is Exploded. "It Is generally supposed that when ft charge of dynamite hn» exploded It Is all over—that the entire charge has been consumed," said a "hard rook' man who has worked in mines, in river tunnels and other places where high explosives are used. "This supposition, however. Is not correct" be continued. "Sometimes particles of dynamite will be blown out with the broken rock Then it becomes a menace to the work men. It Is a favorite practice of men who are waiting or resting to sit on a pile of 'muck,' as the broken rock If called, and to jab into it with a pick or a candlestick or some other steel thing, much the same as a Yankee will whittle while he talks or thinks If the steel strikes one of these bits of dynamite that has not gone off, be cause the glycerin In it has started to ran or because a fragment of It has been crystallized, there will be an ex plosion. The chances are that not one of the group of men sitting around will escape injury. "Another frequent cause of acci dents Is that sometimes when the dy namite explodes and tears out the rock a small quantity of It will be left In the bottom of the drill hole, unaffected by the shock If the drill hole that re mains happens to be pointed In the right direction a lazy drill ruuner Is likely to take advantage of it and start his new hole in the old one In order to make a record or save time. The In stant his drill commences to thud on the unesploded dynamite it goes off The steel is driven back through the barrel of the machine, wrecking It and usually killing the drill runner.

PROVISION FOR THE FUTURE. A F«A» Very Sensible and Very P*M» ticat Suggestion* to the Man Who Doaen't Stop to Think About What May Happen Whan Ha la Gone. There are any number of men who are the most indulgent of husbands and fathers, providing a good living for their families and who yet live up to the limit of thpir incomes, with never a thought for the future and never an effort to protect thctr loved ones and their homes in case of their death. To snch men. as well as to those who are provident, but who keep put ting off the arrangement of their bust ness affairs to meet such an emer gency, the following sensible sugges tions by Willis Frederick Dix in the New York Independent may be of In terest: Is your house really In order? Out wardly, perhaps, yes, since your wife Is a good housekeeper, but how about your own personal affairs? Your law yer has perhaps drawn your will for you. and your personal accounts are businesslike, but have you looked that will over recently, and In the case of your death is there some one In your household who is sufficiently familiar with your account book to understand your system? Have you tried to Imagine Just what condition would exist In your family Immediately after your death, and have you carefully provided for that condition? These and a number ot similar questions must be answered satisfactorily before yon can say that your house Is really in order. The following are a few practical suggestions which. If you think them over and act upon them, may be the means ot saving you or your family from some seriously Inconvenient plight or actual trouble and loss. First of all, make a point of keeping your wife tor some member of your houBeboidi familiar with your system of personal accounts Let her know where your safety deposit box Is, where you keep the key, where your letter file relating to these business matters is kept and Just what your relation to your business Is. You know it is quite possible that you wiii die sometime. Keep your Are insurance policies in your safety deposit box, where the.v will not be burned with your house, and keep In the same package with them, plans and specifications of your house, so that the Ore Insurance coin panies can know definitely just bow much It would cost to replace it. With your furniture Insurance policy keep a detailed inventory of your household effects, with statement of their values. It would be impossible for you to do this from memory after the goods have been destroyed, and much needless trouble would necessarily ensue with out such a list And do not rely wholly upon your agent to renew your policies as they expire. Keep a list of the dates of expiry in your account book, where you will see them frequently Suppose you should be run over and killed today Have you looked Into the law of your state to ascertain whether 01 not your safety box would be seal ed, and If It would be sealed are there any documents in It which your family would need before It were officially opened by yout executors In the pres ence of a slate officer? Your executors may take a year to settle up your es tate How about ready money for the use of your family? When a man draws up bis will It Is seldom that he appreciates tbe fact that his cash In bank and the Interest accrued on his Investments up to the date of his death become principal and cannot be used by his family to pay their current expenses following bis deiii h. An excellent way for a man to be sure that his family, upon his death will have ready money at once. Tree from all complications. Is to take out. in addition to his regular Insurance, a policy for say #1.000 or #2,000 In favor of his wife or some member of bis family. This sum will bare nothing to do with the legal formalities necessary In connection with the settling up of the estate and can be Immediately collect ed and put In UBe Pistole* and Ooubloona.

Je., STORIES OF 0. HENRY. A Promised Visit arid tho Droll Way It Was Evaded. Wherever one goes one hears a story of the late O. Henry, the writer. Ev ery one in magazine circles hereabouts knew htm, and most had had a per sonal experience or two. Somehow ev ery story Illuminates the man. They are not merely humorous tales, but through them one catches a glimpse of his characteristics, his broad humanity or his generosity or his love of the city, i Robert II, Davis, the magazine man, re His Rara Old Painting. Speaking of fake antiques and forg ed paintings an art amateur said: "There is an American who bought a Raphael in Rome some years ago. The Italian law prohibits the exporta tion of masterpieces, and the American had the happy idea of getting the Raphael painted over. This was ac cordlngly done The rare old painting reached New York In the guise of s modern snow scene. "Then the restorer, under the wstcti ful owner's eye, set to work on It With a Bponge dipped in turpentine proceeded to rub tne «now scene olT He sponged It off readily, but he sponged a bit of the Raphael off, too and, behold, underneath the Raphael a portrait of Marconi was revealed."— Washington Star.
