TIRED OF DISPENSARIES
baptist Witness)

Our South Carolina friends are
said to be tired of the dispensary
system. The governor of the
state has taken pains to secure
enlightened opinion on the subject.
But we also Judge, from what the
Courier has to say on the subject,
that this system has reduced
drunkenness at least so per cent.
There appears little proba bility
that the state will return to the
license system. High license has
been proposed. The Courier op-
poses this also and expresses the
thought that the rank and file of
South Carolinians favor absolute
prohibition as d measure. We
would like to have them try it.
For We would feel better with it
as close to Us as that. Go ahead,
Brother Thomas, you shall have
our hearty wishes and prayers.
And, after you get it in your old
state come down with some OF
your enthusiasm and help US set
Florida afire for the same grea,

The War,ey- Alien Case

Tia, great assault and battery case
between w. |. Warrey and G. l.. AL
len, has at last been settled in justice
court. Justice Patterson held court
in the schoolhousc near his home in
Primrose. The trial began at one
o o'clock. Aliens witnesses were James
McCollom who testiiiedSte hearing the
talk between Warrey and Allen that
took place in his store; DR.. Philip
who testified to attending the patient,
Allen; Nettie VanDnsen, who told
about seeing some Of the fight by
peeping through crack in the parti-
tion which separates her millinery
store from Aliens print shop; and
Mr.. Allen himself. There was no
variance between the testimony of
both sides witnesses except that of
Warrey and Allen. Their stories
were direct opposites. The court held
that the Judges story was worthy of
it's belief and the most plausible of the
two. The courts opinion was that it
should not have been brought into
court. The Justices decision is in
harmony with the opinion of about
everyone. Tribune.

The Latest.

The mysterious airship came to
earth last Sunday afternoon shortly
before 6 o'clock and struck the shore
of Lake Osakis near Buck point. The
saloons here were of course closed all
day and a large number of sober
citizens witnessed the landing. and
through their field glasses plainly dis
cearned the mammoth air-boat which
appeared to be shaped like a sugar
beet or Nonpariel cigar. The decks
were alive with people who were busy
ing themselves taking ON tons of ice
that had been blown up on the shore.
1t is conjectured that the ice was either
for ballast or ice cream. The air ship
was floating a peculiarly designed flag
from the mast head, thought to be the
national ensign of the Planet Mars.
The men were of immense stature,
probably 20 feet in height and wore
ulsters. The women were extremely
handsome and were attired in red
bloomers. They appeared anxious to
stop here. No lights were displayed.
The air ship remained on earth less
than 20 minutes when it started in a
north-easterly direction travelling very
rapidly and at least a quarter of a
mile high. h.-Osakis Review.

The Grand Forks Plaindealer
office was burglarized last Satur-
day night and the burglars looted
the safe and made their escape
with all the cash and a lot Of
checks. The cash box included
about $40 in cash and a number
of checks payable to editor Car
ruth aggregating several hun
dred dollars. If the circum-
stances had been different the
Courier would have extended it's
sympathy, but the Plaindealer
has committed the objectionable
sin of having money in it's safe
a crime never known to have
been committed by a North Da-
kota editor before. Mr.. Carruth
has no doubt learned how to take
a joke by this time and in the fl
ture will not be guilty of having
any money in his safe. The next
thing we expect to hear will be
that. ministers will be getting
their salaries paid up in advance.

Appropriate Recognition.

AT the annual meeting Of the Cons
gregational church the members felt
deslrous of expressing in some fitting
way the unrequited services of Mrs. E.
y. Bartlett rs organist and choir
leader, and appointed Mrs. r. G..
Cooper and Mr.. Samuel Sansburn a
committee to act for the church in the
matter. They decided upon gift and
purchased ''The Ferryman" an orig
inal etching by ]. F. Bentley, printed
on Japan paper and signed by the
artist. It is a sunset scene, with q
long line of shore forming the back
ground of the picture. In the fore
ground is the ferryman and ferry boat,
situated against the sunset sky and
bright water reflection. The picture
is in brown tone and is set in a hard.
wood frame 24x3O. The solicitation
for the gift and the invitations to the
presentation, which occurred at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. r. c. Cooper.
Tuesday evening, were limited to the
families represented in the church
membership. Mrs. Bartlett, having
come as she supposed to Mrs. Coop
er's party, was completely surprised
when the pastor, Rev. e. S. Shaw, in
a few appropriate words presented the
picture. Mrs. Bartlett, in accepting
the gift, expressed her thanks and ap-
probation. After the presentation
Crokinole occupied the attention until
time for lunch, which was served by
the ladies. A unique and interesting
feature was tie distribution of quota
tions from different authors on the
subject of music which were read after
the lunch.

or will half to do it myself? how do
you stick the ends together after you

Married Thirty Years.

After spending twenty-nine anniver-
-saries of their marriage, Mr.. and Mrs.
A. Moffat took the thirtieth one, which
occurred last Monday. as % matter of
fact little suspecting the plan that were
being made for their surprise. About
nine o'clock the following persons
arrived with Crokinole boards, stands,
etc., entered the house and completely
surprising them: Messrs. J. N. and
B. B. Brown, Crane, Urquhart and
Shaw. and Mesdames j. N. and B. B.
Brown, Cooper, Cowen, Crane, Urqu-
hart and Shaw. Mrs. Moffat said
she would have fallen down had there
been room. and Mr.. Moffat facetious-
ly told the following incident. He
said, when they were married a young
friend of his who had been married a
few days before met him and shaking
hands said: ''I wish you many hap
py returns This added to the mirth
of the company and all set out for a
jolly good time. An elegant lunch,
which Christie Motfat had prepared
on the pretext that she was going to
entertain few Y friends, was served
just before the company broke up. A
beautiful rocking chair from Mr..
Syverson's store was presented as a
token of the esteem in which Mr.. and
Mrs. Moffat are held. Mr.. Moffat
stands high in the estimation of the
people both as man. as a contractor
and builder and as a Christian. He
is the teacher of the bible class in the
Congregational Sunday school while
Mrs. Moffat is teacher of the infant
class and active in W. CT. U. work.
Each of them ''abounds in the work OF
the Lord" as opportunity offers.

A Kindly Criticism.

MIR. EDITOR. We read Mr.. SI1anse's
article on Something to Think
About and we beg his pardon for
thinking SO long. Our main excuse is,
that the subject needed careful deliber-
alton. The writer sort o. sprung it
upon us with'such velocity that it near
ly took our breath away, that is, the
"Crokinole" part of it. You see, the
article surprised us; after having read
one-half of it we were so suddenly
switched from the main track of vii
lage Improvements and suggestions
for bettering the financial depression
to the Northumberland that we
actually stopped in the midst to con-
slider.
The starch factory and foundry
should be carefully considered. The
former has done much to promote
the welfare of adjacent states and in
many poor communities. In explana-
ton we wish to say to Mr.. S. that
we do not write this with any unkind-
ly feeling, but with all due courtesy
ask the careful consideration of
':games' from all standpoints. After
many days of thoughtful 1everie. we
ask the writer of Something to Think
About" why the innocent game of
Crokinole was the target? We ask in
all sincerity, does Mr.. S. play games?
There are many games which tend to
promote mankind physically, INTEL
lectually and morally. After labor
ing necessarily with the hands or
brain for some hours, an innocent
game with the family or friends does
much to lessen the care and make
':life more worth living We admit
that much harm is attached to games.
Society women carry some games to
excess. Their time might better be
occupied with theil. families in good
reading or ''doing good unto Others"
