A Christmas REQUEST.

To THE PUBLIC: DESTROYS OF making
Christmas day, at the Asylum, one of en-
Joyment, and long 10 be pleasantly re-
membercd, by our unfortunate inmates,
l. again take the liberty of calling upon
the many kind friends OF the hospital,
and ask them to contribute what they
feel they can, either in money or suitable
articles, for the benefit and pleasure of
our people, on that day. If each indi-
vidual will contribute only a very little,
it will, in the aggregate, amount to
considerable sum, to us, and be the means
OF atfording real pleasure, and benefit,
to our insane people. Without the kind
and liberal assistance of friends IN differ
ent parts OF the territory, we shall be un
able 10 do for our patients, this year,
what should be done in their behalf. We
trust the benevolent ladies, who so gen.
erously aided, and who did so much, for
our "Chirs,mas' at the hospital last year,
will not forget that many of the same sad
hearts are with us still, as well as large
additional number of new patients. If
the ladies Il especially refer to the ladies
because Of their benevolent, charitable
and philanthropic natures) will devote
little time to this object at their homes,
and in calling upon their friends, they
will find many cheerful contributors to so
good cause. TO witness the sad faces
change to cheerlulness, the despondent
and downcasl countensnce assume an air
OF hope and courage, even for day,
would repay, many times, your effort and
trouble in behalf of these dependent ones
Very many of our inmates have no
friends to think of, or administer to their
comfort and pleasure, and this is my on.
ly apology for thus appealing to you in
their behalf. Please let your gifts be
general. We do not want much from
anyone. 1t is the little from the many
that will make Christmas day at the
Asylum the pleasant oasis OF the year,
and we Will be most gratefully
..... Your obedient servant,
o. W. ARCHIBALD,
Superintendent.

The Old Smelling Book.

Examining modern ''speller," the ear
is panied by the lack of rhythm displayed
upon its pages. For instance, upon one
page Of this book the word ssfsh" is
found; then follow various words relating
to fishing and fish culture; no rhythm
whatever to please the ear or uniformity
to attract the eye. "Fish, fishes, fin, head,
tail, scales, line, hook, breeding, water,
eggs, ETC." The child masters fish"
and perhaps ''in." BY the time, ''fin"
is learned the poor s'fish" has sunk be-
meath the waves of forgesfulness, and the
heads and tails are about all that are re-
tanned in the mind Of the child by this
mode of misplacing words, as spelling
lessons.
Now look at the old method, where the
words arranged in columns had, perhaps,
no affinity, save in the matter of euphoni
Gus classification, "fish, '"dish" "wish,
take" ''nlake, u ''cake," etc. Now this
method pleased the child's love of rhythm;
it pleased the ear and the eye as well,
and so was better adapted to his powers
of memory than is the presen conglomer-
alton of words, a tangle of i. onosyuable
and polysyllabla, in which t. oyertaxed
brain Of the poor little spe ler becomes
inextricably involved, so tn t his early
experience remains sorrow and vexA-
tion to him his whole life long. Boston

necessary right of way and the work of
construction has only been suspended un-
til the weather gets warm enough in the

and money can do it. Mr.. Wells is the

don't carry it to successful completion
no Dakotan need ever attempt to build a

If Commissioner Sparks is to represent
the hostility and injustice OF the adminis-
tration towards west settlers ard the
settlement of western lands, 1t can be ex-
pressed no more positively than by can
ceiling an entry because the claimant has
gone elsewher during few winter
months to earn living for himself and
family. Over large portion of Dakota
many settlers will doubtless be obliged TO
DO something of the kind this year. 1t
seems to be the opinion of New England
residents that western settler on quar-
ter section is fraud to start with, and
the land department at Washington IS
carefully cultlva,ing this opinion every
day by Its narrow minded policy towards
these home seekers. The Humane So
cieties of the east should include in their
efforts for the protection of animals, the
western settler, who is subjected to many
privatlons and hardships under the pres
ent administration of the land office.

A HURON dispatch to the Bismarck
Tribune says of the new railroad link now
finished at Oakes: "lhere is good deal
of interest felt here in the completion of
the RAILROAD through the valley direct
to Jamestown. A railroad official here
says 1t is almost settled that there Will be
put on a through train from Huron to
Bismarck, with a sleeper attached, as
early as January 1st. 1t will leave here
at about one o'clock in the afternoon and
arrive at Bismarck the next day, stopping
for supper at Oakes. A mail messenger
said as soon as a postotfice is established
at Oakes there Will have to be mail car
run through each way, and if that is not
done as soon as the regular trains begin,
pouches will be made up and sent across
from Columbia TO LaMoure, from agent
to agent. There IS talk that it IS more
likely that through train will be put on
from Bismarck to Chicago direct this
winter. At any event this connection is
sure to make very popular route through
a nosi attractive valley, well populated"

The very strong Endorsement given to
DR.. Hubbard by the medical profession
and Testimonies Of those upon whom he
effected wonderful cures, have rendered
his movements of much interest to
the afflicted. The cures he has effected
in this city and In many other places
are so we'll authenticated that one can
not doubt his competence to do just
what he processes to do, and as there
are but few who really. come up to their
professors Of skill and ability in treat
ing the diseases that afflicted humanity
it is right to patronize a man like DR..
Hubbard, who does all he promises to
perform. Eiss treatment Of diseases
which mar the happiness OF thousands
of people, has secured hlm an immense
practice, and likely he will be crowded
by patients during the day he remains
in the city.

The LaMoure County Contest.

The LaMou1e county contest case came
up before Judge Francis at Bismarck
yesterday. The Judge held that the
special act authorizing the election was
constitutional. This was one Of the
points claimed by Grand Rapids attor-
neys, who contended that the act was un-
constitutional The only question of i'm
purtance that remains Is the charge of
fraudulent and illegal voting. L. w.
Camp Of jamestown, was appointed re-
cree to take testimony IN this matter,
and forty days were granted, 10 which to
do so, Mr.. Camp to visit LaMoure county
for the purpose. The judge VIII review
the testimony 80 taken and render def
cision therein on the 3lst day OF January.
Neither the restraining order prohibiting
the removal of the records from Grand
Rapids, or the Injunction ordering them
returned were included IN the judges ru-
lings yesterday, SO the situation remains
practically as it ls, with the register and
his records at LaNIoure, and the other
offices at the Rapids.

Lincoln and His Mothers Grave.

In the autumn of 1918 the little COM
nunity of Pigeon Creek was almost ex-
terminated by frightfu1 pestilence
called milk sickness, or, in the dialect Of
the country ''milk sick" It is a mysteri-
Gus disease, which has been the theme
Of endless wrangling among western
physicians, and the difficulty of ascer-
tanning anything about it has been
greatly increased by the local sensitive
ness which forbids any one to admit that
any well-defned case has ever been seen
in his neighborhood, "although just over
the creek, or in the next county, they
have it bad" 1t seems to have been q
malignant form Of fever-attributed
variously to malaria and to the eating Of
poisonous herbs by the cattle-attacking
cattle as well as human beings, attended
with violent retchingS and burning
sensation in the stomach, often termin-
ating fatally on the third day. In many
cases those who apparently recovered lin
gered for years with health seriously inn
paired.
Among the pioneers of Pigeon Greek,
so i'll fed, i'll housed and uncared for,
there was little prospect Of recovery from
such grave disorder. The Sparrows,
husband and wife, died early in October,
and Nancy Hauks Lincoln followed them
after an interval of a few days. Thomas
Lincoln made the coffins for his dead
'out Of green lumber cut with whip
saw" and they were all buried, with
scant ceremony, in little clearing Of
the forest. It is related Of little Abra-
ham that he sorrowed most of all that
his mother should be laid away with
such MANNED rites and that he tried
several months later to have q wander
ing preacher named David Elkin brought
to the settlement, to deliver funeral
sermon over her grave, already stiff and
white with the early winter snow.-Tho
