The Grace Of Cheerfuln~.s.

In this age of hurry and furry and
intense activity along all lines of oc.
cupation, as people we oftentimes are
untrue to ourselves and forget our God
by neglecting to be cheerful and friend.
ly one toward another. Nothing tends
to promote happiness in all depart
ments of life more than kind and
friendly spirit. Too often persons be-
ginningin life to make name and rep
utation in the world make sad mistake
by being SO engrossed with the affairs
of their business and their self-inter-
ests that they become cheerless, cold
and Indifferent to everything and every
body about them. And while such per-
sons are ofttimes successful in life, as
rule their lives are miserable failures.
Who does not admire the hearty,
friendly handclasp of another; who
will resent the sweet smile of friend
liness of a neighbor; who will regret
the cheerfulness of his own actions? I?
To be cheerful is to be Christlike, and,
like Christ Himself, who was always
cheerful and loving and kind. SO this
grace gives to life charm which can
not be taken away. Cheerfulness
means kindness, for we can be cheerful
only when we are kind.-Detroit Free
Press.

Wooine in Ala.ka.

Wooing and wedding in Alaska among
the natives are interesting and peculiar
rites. When young man is Of suit
able age to marry, his mother, his aunt,
or his sister looks up wife for him.
He seldom marries woman younger
than himself; she is much older, and
sometimes is double his age, and even
more. She is selected from family
whose position equals his or is even
higher. When suitable woman is
found the young man 10 asked how
many blankets and animal skins he is
willing to pay for her. When this inn
portant question is settled, feast is
arranged in the home of the bride and
the friends of both families are invited.
When the company is assembled the
woman's people extol the greatness Of
their family. The young mans mar
riage gifts are spread out where they
will make fine show, and then his fam
lily sound their praises. The ceremony
lasts from one to two days, and finally
the young bridegroom takes his wife
to his own abode.-Chjcago Tribune.

The Vogue in winter millinery.


Certainly if there had been any doubt
Of Henry of Navarro being forgotten
it would be dissipated by the fact that
on the head of almost everything fem
mime there waves, this autumn, his
historic white plume. 1t stands up as
bravefy as possible. In addition, feath-
ers of all shades obtain, although they
have not driven either flowers, ribbons,
velvet or spangles out of the field.
The shape preferred is the one most
becoming to the individual. Furs, es-
pecially sable and chinchilla, are fash
ionalble garnitures, and rich velvets and
silks are draped over soft frames, pro-
ducing wonderfully effective results.
Purple is still holding the imperial
sway it has for three years, although a
wonderful deep red is close rival to
it, while royal blue, silver gray, black
and white, white and black, all black,
and all white obtain. Brilliant buckles
end pins are used to fasten flowers and
plumes to position. Indeed, wherever
an effective bit of color or brightness
can be artistically arranged, there it
is in ev:dence.-Isabel A. Mallon, in

FASHIONS LATEST FANcIEs.

AS for costumes for every purpose,
smooth surfaces characterize the finest
qualities Of most of the materials, SO
it is with the stuffs for these costumes;
plain effects lead both in texture and
coloring. -
Silver gray is better adapted for call
ing or carriage toilettes, so don't let
the furore for this shade let you choose
it for the shade of your tailor-made. Its
delicacy makes it out of place upon the
street.
Six and half to seven yards of goods
are called for by the prevailing modes
in tailor gowns, and they range in price
from IS cents per yard for plain cheviot
or serge to four dollars and sometimes
more for novelties.
Coats will show fewer loose shapes.
More close-fitted ones will be seen, and,
according to the height of the wearer.
will be from eight to twelve inches be-
low the waist. Some quite long ones
are shown, but will not be generally
worn. -za -..

A DipIomattc Game.

Speaking of protocols and treaties,
Mr.. Laboucherc once told this story:
years ago was in America, and went
down with the English minister in the
United States to a small inn in Virginia,
where we were to meet Mr.. Marcy, the
tLen United States secretary of state.
and reciprocity treaty was to be quiet
~ discussed. Mr.. Marcy, the most
genial of men, was cross as bear. He
would agree to nothing. What on
earth is the matter with your chief??'
said to secretary who accompanied
him. He does not have his rubber Of
whist said the secretary. After this
every night the minister and played
at whist with Mr.. Marcy and his Sec
retary, and every night we lost. The
stakes were trifiing, but Mr.. Marcy felt
nattered at beating the Britishers at
what he called their own game. His
good humor returned, and every MORN
ing when the details of the treaty were
being discussed we ked our revenge
and scored points for Canads. Detroit

BOLD ROBBERS.
A Northern Pac,ae Train Held Up Nea,
l(oorheaSl. MINI. -


Fargo, N. D., Sept. 76.-Just before /
o'clock this morning No. I coast bound
train on the Northern Pacific was held
up three miles east Of Moorhead, MINI.
Nt Glyndon Engineer Hooker noticed
three suspicious characters get on the
blind baggage car, but such occurrences
aresso frequent that little attention was
paid to- the matter.
About half way to Moorhead two of
these men climbed over the tender and
forced the engineer to stop the train by
covering him and the fireman with re-
volvers.
Amoment later two other highway
men appeared with Conductor Corcoran
and the brakeman.
The mail car and engine were then
cut loose and run up the track short
distance, when a stop was made and it
was found that the express car was not
attached.
There was considerable CONSERVATION
among the robbers, as they had evident
ly made mistake in leaving it behind
They ransacked the mail pouches and
took all the registered packages. They
also went through Conductor Corcoran
for SIS, but did not take either his or
Engineer Hooper's watches.
There were at least half dozen men
Implicated in the affair, as some OF the
passengers who attempted to get out
and investigate when the train was first
stopped were made to hustle back in the
coaches at the point OF revolvers.
The work was evidently that of we'll
organized gang, as the Job was neatly
planned and the hcldup committed at
place most favorable for such crime.
That the men were from Moorhead,
or had made their headquarters there
was demonstrated by the fact that there
were twenty pounds Of dynamite on the
platform of the blind baggage and en-
closed in wrapping paper from Moor
head clothing store.
Sheriff Bodkin and Sheriff Wilson, of
Fargo, each organized posses and
secured this country for miles trying to
locate the bandits.
Eight arrests of suspicious characters
were made during the day, but it is i'm
possible to tell whether they are the
guilty parties or not Nothing has been
found so far to identity any OF the pris-
oners with the crime.
Moorhead is running wide open now
and is infested with gang OF tough
marks, some OF whom are responsible
for the holdup. The perpetrators could
have easily returned to Moorhead by
some side road before the organization
OF the sheriff's posses, and it will be a
difficult task to locate the guilty parties.
PostoficeI Inspector Clement and 9TH
er United States officials are on the
case, and detectives in the employ Of the
postal service have been sent for.
Had the r3bebrs not made their error
in regard to the express car. the job
would have been about the smoothest
that ever occurred in the northwest.
Everything seems to have been careful
ly planned except for that mistake. 1t is
the first holdup OF train that has oc-
Cured in this part OF the northwest for
years and was a daring piece of work.

NORTH DAKOTA NEWS.
Important pecl.ion.

Judge Fisk handed down an import
ant decision at Grand Forks. When
Assessor John Abrahamson made his
rounds last spring he called on the SUI
Perintendent of the st. Anthony &
Dakota Elevator company to get list
OF the property owned by the company
IN the state. It was given with values,
dncludingthe amount of wheat in each
elevator. This was returned against
the company in the shape of taxes
when his report was made to the coun-
'ty commissioners The company re-
fused to pay taxes on property outside
OF the county to Grand Forks, and the
matter was referred to Judge Fisk for
an opinion. The assessor held that as
long as the head Office of the company
was in Grand Forks, the property of
the company was taxable there. Judge
Fisk held that such was not equity and
decided the case in favor of the ele-
vator company.
