The White House.

From the Washington Evening Star.
There are a number of stories in cir
culation going TO show why the executive
mansion was called the white house, and
by whom It was first called SUCH" said a
local historian, "but l think the best evil
dence tends to give that credit to James
Madison, who was the fourth President.
and who was driven out of the executive
mansion when the British burned II in
1874 The executive mansion Is built or
freestone, which was quarried down on
the Potomac river. The capitol proper
was constructed out of the same stone,
though. of course, the wings for the Sem
ate and House of Representatives are
built Of marble, with granite foundations.
"At the time the British burned the ex-
ecutive mansion they did a lot of other
damage, and tine country was pressed for
money to repair the same. The walls of
the mansion we're but little damaged.
other than blackened by smoke. AS L
said. money was scarce, and congress
made an appropriation to have the out
side of the houses painted. White was Sc
lected as the best color. The capitol was
not painted for nearly twenty years after
ward. Madison, in letter to a personal
and political friend. wrote: Come in and
see me any time. You will always find
me In at the white house
1.-THE executive mansion may have been
called the white house before that, but I
have never been able to find any record
of 1t. The letter from Madison had an
important political bearing and was very
extensively circulated. If, therefore, Mad
ison did not ofiiciate at the christening,
he certainly took prominent part in pub
fishing the fact that the while house was
forever from that time to be the name of
the mansion Up to that time the execu-
tive mansion, which is the legal name for
II, was generally spoken of as the Presi-
dents house"

Father, we've wandered far astray
Over dark and a sinful way,
Father, we've wandered far from home
Lead us all BY the hand till the cleaning come.
Father, our hearts arc weary and worn
And our garments oft in the briers torn.
Father, we're longing for love and home
Lead us all by tile hand till the cleaning come.
Tho wind blew chill on the mountains cold
And the breath was hot DER the barren void.
And the night winds echoed our bitter
moan
Lead us all by the hand till the cleaning come,
Father, in SHINING afar we've gone,
We've grieved thy Kindness oft and long,
We come because thou bid st us come

Letter from Moorhead Normal School.

EDITOR SHEAF:
At the open call in your paper fo1
correspondents, / thought / would try
my luck and respond with something
that perhaps might besof interest.
Moorhead is the educational center
of the northern part Of Minnesota and
Dakota. There are now not less than
four schools working. The two on
the north side have not learned the
names Of. The others are the High
School, Concordia College and the
Normal School. The last mentioned
school is an excellent institution, and
especially SO for those who are to be-
come teachers. Each one of its fac
ulty is fitted for his or her work and
know their business "all right"
In connection with the school the
students have formed a literary socie-
ty, and, as might be expected, excel
lent work is done. The debates and
the one minute speeches and two min
ute speeches together with The Sew
en- Days Review, !" are features Of the
society that can not be overestimated.
To be short this time and to get per
mission after Christmas to come again
with few remarks in regard to the
vacation, I shall here below give you
a copy Of The Seven Days Review &
Before leaving, however, I wish you
all, if not too late, a happy, mirthfu]
Christmas, happy New Year, that
will bring hope to the hopeless, peace
to those distressed, prosperity to the
depressed, and plenty to the needy
a happy New y ear to all young men

An Escaping Bank Robber Shot LAST
Evening at Rolette.
Crookston Tribune. Dec. q 222.

tToOk6COn tribune. Dec Z2
Il Yesterday evening at Rolette, a
small station on the Great Northern
railroad, about twenty nilessouth of
this city, Sheriff Gunderson, Of Nor
man county, shot at and mortally
wounded TN escaping bank robber..
1t appears that early yesterday
morning two unknown men burglar
lied the State Bank Of Caledonia, N.
D., using dynamite to blow open the
vaults. The noise OF the explosion
aroused the citizens OF that usually
quiet little village and the robber,
were routed before they had time to
entirely empty the vaults. They
had, however, secured several thou
sand dollars OF cash which they
made their escape One of them
crossed the river into Norman coun-
ty, in this state, made his way as far
as Kolette, where he was waiting for
a train. ,ssss
Sheriff GundersOn, OF Norman
county. who had been notified by
wire aus to the supposed route taken
by the escaping robber, arrived at
Rolette with a small posse Of men.
They discovered their man near this
point and demanded his surrender.
He refused and dared the crowd to
give him a fair show with a revolver,
and said he would kill the first man
who attempted to arrest him. At
this junctnre Sheriff Gunderson
raised his revolver and sent bullet
into the fellows neck which caused
him to drop his revolver and fall
in q dying condition. When the
wounded man fell, hestook from his
pocket and endeavored to hide Il por-
tion Of the stolen cash. amounting
to$2 ,OO3.5O, in the fli,6W. This ac-
tion was observed, ht5sever, and the
a. . F. . Sd s. !.
money recovered by the officer. The
injured man was taken to Ada where
he died this morning. He made no
disclosures as to his identity or that
of his partner in the crime.
Grant Patton, constable OF Gale
donia, passed through here last eve
ming in search OF the 5robber, and in
telling the story OF the burglary said
that the affair was not known of un-
til the bank was opened in the morn
ing by the officials. 1T was known
that the robbers started across the
Red river into Minnesota. This
morning he wired Chief Gonyea as
follows: s.Have got my man; had to
shoot him to get him.

positive conclusion. From Mr.. Mitchel's
tone of voice and the words of his last
speech the detective felt certain that

have played in the robbery Miss Rem

whether the eonyersaNon would now

he, "but your remark just now, that

The Biggest Fool at Large

Is the individual who persistently neglects
his health, and the means of preserving and
restoring it. Many persons who are not con-
stitutional idiots do this. They are genuine
objects of compassion as we'll as censure. A
failure of appetite, loss of sleep and flesh, i'm
paired digestion, an uncertain state of the
bowels and symptoms of biliousness are so
many warnings of the approach of disease,
To disregard them is abject folly, which Of
Tended nature in due time Furnishes severely,
il notfatally. That genial and thoroughly re-
liable preventive. of bodily mischief in the
shape of chronic disease, Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, will, If resorted to in time. avert those
disorders, to the removal of which it is also
fully adequate. Among these are chronic in
digestion, liver complaint, kidney troubles,
malaria.

Mr.. Mitchel's hesitation it seemed to
him that there was contest going on
in his mind between powerful desire
to talk on his hobby and some pruden-
tial whisper that silence would be bet
ter. The detective also waited with
some anxiety, piece of a sweetbread
on his fork, carried but half way to his
mouth
"Well. gentlemen" at last said Mr..
Mitchell. II will tell you the story"
Mr.. Barnes took the tidbit from his fork
with q smile that showed his teeth as
they bit it incisively. "First Join me in
glass;" continued Mr.. Mitchell.
Drink this ruby colored wine and
pledge me that you will not repeat what
I say. This only because I do not wish
to attain the unenviable reputation of
being romancer, as certainly should
if some reporter should hear and publish
the story how while the loss of the gem
is fresh in the memory Of all. :"
The pledge was given, and Mr.. Mitch
ell continued:
"That you might better appreciate
this stone. might begin with a disser-
tation on rubies, explaining to you the
difference between the true oriental gem,
which is rare Of any magnitude, and the
poorer specimens, known as spinels.
However, you would only accuse me of
ventilating knowledge which has come
to me through the study Of my hobby. I
will come at once to the story of the lost
jewel. Just where 1t was first found is
not accurately known, and Of its earlier
history I can only tell you what has
been told me. You may believe as much
Or as little as you like. The history then
begins with the finding of Moses in the
bulrushes and the subsequent gift to
him of this ruby by the daughter of
Pharaoh. Thus we hear Of it first in the
royal house Of the Egyptians. There was
another gem, the exact counterpart to it,
This Pharaoh had among his treasures
and wore upon state occasions. With the
exodus of Moses and the Israelites the
ruby passed out Of Egypt From that
time for many centuries its history is
not marked by any great event, save
that we learn that it was kept by the
high priests Of the synagogue and so
passed down from generation to genera
tion. One odd fact must not forget.
The deep red color. as you know, is the
most priced. The color Of this ruby at
the present time is the most perfect in
existence. Yet, SO the story goes, at first
the matched pair of gems were of pale
rose color"
"Do you mean us to believe" inter-
rupted Mr.. Randolph, "that the color
has deepened with timer"
II do not ask you to believe anything.
But it is not time that is supposed to
have improved the color. With the con-
