But, then, in my fathers day, young

TO humiliate their parents and often
their husbands. They were then real

bear such prejudices. Home angels,
indeed. AS if one must be a fool or a
nonentity to be domestic. A bright

that the order will be issued in very

NORTHWEST NEWS
SWEPT by DISEASE.
Terrible State of Affairs in a North
Dakota Settlement.

Terrible State Of Affairs in a North
Dakota Settlement.
Grand Forks, n. D., Special.-Dr.
Flaten, state superintendent Of health,
has returend from Emmons and Nc
Intosh counties, in the southwestern
part Of the state, on the Missouri river,
where serious epidemic of diphtheria
has ragged among the settlers, chiefly
Russian immigrants. The disease is
now under control, though it was with
the greatest difficulty that the state su-
Ierintendent and his assistants so far
succeeded in combating the customs
slightest opportunity at the disease.
The locality is far from any railroad,
and DR.. Flaten had to drive ITO miles
to reach the most distant points in the
infected district.
The number Of deaths, all within
three weeks, was thirty y-nine. The
number of cases is estimated at nearly
800. The disease was brought into the
neighbOrhOOd through a family OF Rus
sian immigrants who came by way OF
Aberdeen. Had the inhabitants been
allowed to continue in their own ways,
all the children would probably have
eventually fallen prey to the disease.
A feature of the epidemic that has
made it difficult for the board of health
to combat the disease is the apparent
Indifference of the people. They are
fatalists, and have no use whatever for
doctors. and there is not a physician in
either Mcintosh or EmmOns counties,
with an aggregate population of about
5000 and an area of $500 square miles.
The state superintendent sent physi-
clans among them, however, and by es-
tablishing Quarantines and heroic ef-
forts otherwise, and impeded in every
way by the ignorant and superstitious
settlers, the disease was prevented
from spreading farther.
The two cases Of leprosy recently
discovered in Walsh county will be
isolated. The older of the two unfor-
tunate victims is about 45 years OF age
and has wife and six children. He
has had the disease now about four
years. The other victim, young man
Of 25 years, had had symptoms OF the
disease only about year. The cases
in this country are all foreigners and
there is no case on record where the
disease has been transmitted by con-
tact with any one in this country.

Strange Case of Liquor Selling.

Rhinelander, Wis, Special.-Julius
Danielson and Charles Winburg were
arrested at Hazelhurst on the charge of
selling liquor without a license. They
were given a hearing before Justice
Olson and pleaded not guilty. The au-
thorities at Hazelhurst would give
then. no license, so the pair built boat
and launched it on Tomahawll lake,
and, anchoring the stipulated distance
FROM land, proceeded to dispense the
liquor. At the hearing they admitted
selling liquor, but denied being guilty
of any otfense. The hearing was ad-
journed until Tuesday and the prison
ers given to the custody of the sheriff.

with the arrangements OF marriage

with the arrangements of a marriage
for you"
She said all this with such an
amused smile that I could not think
her serious. I determined, however,
to put an end to this suspense and soon
found an opportunity.
There was a concert and ball at the
Desjardins' beautiful country home
When bending over her mothers hand
I saw but one thing and heaven en-
tered my soul as I caught the light Of
her eyes. It seemed but an instant
before we were outside wandering
about the grounds. The words were
on my lips to- speak,, when some one
called to us, Come, La Mariani is go
ing to sing" What care I for the Ma
riani? But Rose fastened her steps
and followed, hoping she would at
least stay outside. AS we neared the
house she led the way to corner of the
veranda and there the words and voice
of the wonderful singer reached our
ears and entered our hearts.
''My soul is full of dream,
My soul is full of love-
Those words are mine, Rose, do you
understand? Don't you see how I love
you? You are the woman I have
dreamed of since I have known how to
| dream. You are the companion have
longed for! Rose, could you not love
me?"
In low, sad voice she murmured:
my friend, am not the companion
you have dreamed of. Too often have
you described her to me, your ideal
woman. You love me because you
think me simple as young girls should
be-and you think because you have
some time seen me attending house
hold duties that I would make good
domestic wife, but you will love me nc
more when you are undeceived. When
you, know" Her voice had been
firm until now and though her words
puzzled and panied me became aware
of the sorrow in her voice, sorrow
which meant more than sympathy.
"Rose, in the name of heaven, what
is it,"
She mastered herself in a moment.
How often have you cruelty told
me you would never marry college
graduate. bluestocking, as you called
her, and yet you ought to have known
your mother Knows"
The fool had been; and how
, wished I could fall right there on my
knees to ask her pardon. And yet how
could have suspected that so much
feminine grace could be united to q
ripe and mature intellect.
