The attempt to keep young children
in ignorance of stories about ghosts,
fairies, giants and gypsies would GER
tainly prove futile. If they are of n
nervous and imaginative temperament
they will invent new terrors for them
selves instead of the old traditional
ones. A little girl of six. who had
been jealousy guarded against any
acquaintance with nursery bogies and
superstitions, suffered from night ter
rors OF severe kind, in which she
always screamed out that she was be-
ing chased by robbers. But while ii
may be impracticable to protect chill
dren from a knowledge of the super
natural and mysterious, it is inexcus-
able to frighten them with hideous sto-
ries or to leave them prey to .he
terrors of the solitude and darkness.

MANITOBA's PREMIER INCoGN1To.
MIR. Greenway Was in Dakota and
Seemed to Be a Plain Citizen.

ABOUT one year ago a respected citizen of
a small town in North Dakota walked into
the motel with his wife for the MONDAY meal
says the Boston Transcript. He saw at his
taDle Two strangers one a young man, pretty
wei dressed, and the other evidently a farm
er, about 60 years of age with a gray, rough
beard and well-worn and ill-ftting clothing
Little attention was paid to the pair, beyond
hasty scrutiny. The citizen and his wife
were thinking Of taking a trip to a lake in
Manitoba, near Crystal City, for a few days
and were talking about the trip, nquirng
how long the fishing would be good, etc.
questions which those who were talking
seemed unable to answer. The old farmer
spoke up, and venturing to explain that he
lived quite near the lake, told all about the
situation there, where to go, at whose house
to stop and other needed information. Little
else was said, but the impression made on
the citizen and wife was not sufficient to
cause them to make very much inquiry, and
were.
We'll, he seemed like nice old fellow
said the wife, though 1 noticed he seemed
quite helpless in regard to dsposing of his
lettuce. Probably his first meal at hotel"
Very likely" replied the citizen.
The next day the citizen met his friend
the liveryman, who said:
BY the way, did you Premier Green
way, Of Manitoba, when he was here yester-
day? His driver brought him down here
from Crystal City, where he lives, you know
Ottawa, as he was in hurry to go. He said
he thought Greenway was called there to
confer with Laurier and fix up the school
question. He took dinner at the Columbia
and ! didn't know but you might have seen
him.

TARIFF AGREED UPON At THE
RECENT MEETING WILL NOT
STICK.
THE 500 MAKES A NEW RATE,
CLAIMING THE FIGURES AGREED
UPON BY THE RAILROADS. WE'RE
BEING SHAVED
THEY DIDN'T GET THE BUSINESS.
Great NOrthern's Chief Engineer
Says the Activity Near FOsstOn
Is Simply Repairs.

Crushed by Tariff" might appro-
priately be made the title to a short,
hut interesting tale of how the recent
meeting of railroad officials, repre-
senting lines interested in the ship
ment Of flour from Minneapolis to the
seaboard, has come to naught owing
to the action of one of the lines repre-
scented at it. but which, it is under
stood, never was exactly gin with" the
step taken to pull up the flour rates, or
let them down or do something to in
duce the shipment of flour at the time.
In other words, the 500 line is out with
a tariff which goes into effect Aug. l.,
and which contains a rate of 171s cents
per 100 pounds on flour to the sea-
board
This move is taken to mean that the
500 does not believe, as some of the
more sanguine lines appeared to, that
when the tariff rate was 22b cents. but
was being shaved down as far as II
cents, that shippers would be content
at the meeting which lasted all morn
ing in Mr.. Clark's office and all after
noon at the Minnesota club
AS matter OF fact, the shippers
were paying liz cents, and it was hard
to get more than this figure The 500
people figured this out apparently and
proceeded to put in that rate. 1t is on
their new tariff just issued, and the re-
suit will be watched with interest.
The agreement is to all intents
smashed, and it may be safely stated
that some such rate as that quoted by
the 500, and which will undoubtedly be
met by the competing lines, will obtain
until the scarcity of cars and the big
crop makes it possible for the roads
to get 20 cents, or even 221a cents, as
they would like.

general land office, and a large number
OF papers relating to them have accu-
mulated. Roswell Shelly, named for

SIoner Hermann, of the general land
office. and is we'll known in the state.
He Is merchant, who resides at Port

that little could be accomplished there
this winter, will not be carried out until
some time next spring, when, accord
ing to present expectations, a land
office will be established at Circle CITY.

REPAIRING THE LINE.
Great Northern Not Extending the
FOsstOn Branch.


For some time past the citizens in
the northern part of the state have
been facilitating themselves upon the
prospect of being given additional rail-
road facilities. There has been much
talk about the Fosston branch, and the
fact that engineers have been at work
with their instruments has led the peo-
pie up there to the notion that Presi-
dent Hill, of the Great Northern, would
take some step to head off rivals, who
would conflict with his interests in the
carrying trade across the pine tracts
and iron mines in Northern Minnesota.
The presence of new ties and heavier
steel rails, the presence Of the Great
Northern right of way agent, and a
number of other StraWS have persuaded
the residents in this section that some
thing was to be done in the way Of
railroad extension. Chief Engineer
Stevens, of the Great Northern. seen
yesterday afternoon regarding this mat
ter, stated that all this work referred to
was merely in the way of repairing
and improving the line, and that no
new lines were being arranged for
What might be contemplated for the
future, he could not undertake to say.
In this connection, Mr.. Stevens eX-
planned that the Eastern Minnesota
has been subjected to thorough over
hauling. The wooden bridges have
been. replaced with steel affairs, the
rails have been replaced with heavier
steel, and the roadbed ballasted with
new steel bridges have been put IN
and possibly forty have been rebuilt
and filled. The work will be completed
by Sept l.

and also were consequently prepared

ment that the one question was not
involved in the other The matter is
regarded here with all the greater in
terest because both subjects, the valid
1ty of the treaty and the annexation
of Hawaii are under consideration by
the American congress, and both in all
probability will receive attention dur
Ing the next session. The senate COM
mittee on foreign relations, which has
already reported upon the annexation
treaty, has undertaken an investiga-
tton of the present status of the Clay
ton-BulWer convention, and the general
expectation, on account of the pre-
objection Of the members of the sub
committee having the question in
charge, is that a report will be made
favorable to the abrogation Of the
treaty.

NEW ARMOR PLANT.
Preliminary Steps Are Being Taken

by Secretary Gage.
WASHINGTON, July 28.-secretarv
Long has taken the preliminary steps
towards the creation of a board of
naval officers to ascertain the cost of
a government armor plant. Two men,
bers of the board have been selected.
Commodore Howell, commandment of
the League Island Any yard. and
Capt. Mccormick, of the Norfolk navy
yard. Both of these officers are nos
Sessed Of much technical knowledge
and may be said to rank high as ex
perts upon the subject of armor. The
field Of work Of the board will be ex-
tensiVe; they must not only ascertain
the cost of a modern arTnor nIato
plant. but must also take into account
the propriety, or rather the necessity
Of establishing in connection with it q
complete plant for the production IF
steel ingots, a very large undertaking,
The experts are of the opinion now
that it is probably necessary in max
ing armor to begin with the ingot at
the very moment it is forged and be-
fore it has cooled. This is done in the
BEST practice, and, If it should be held
TO be absolutely necessary, the govern
ment will be obliged to establish a
steel plant alongside It's armor plant
If 1t embarks in the business of armol
making. The board is to report to
congress at its next session.
