While on the subject of "Baugh-
mans Guests" the writer of this de-
partment would like to call the at
tentim of the young ladies of Devils
Lake to the fact that there are a large
number of bachelors-the best boys on
earth-who board here, but who
should be taking their meals at their
own homes, in the delightful society of
their own wives. We haven't any de

Geo. A.. Day was another Fargo boy
who pronounced the Sunday dinner at
the Sevilla good. George travels for
q Chicago drug firm, but he couldn't
live in any other town than Fargo,
where he was in the drug business for
many years. His penchant for "pitch"
is quite marked, but in knowledge of
the game he is clearly outclassed BY
Bro. Bestic, who, it is, claimed, is such
a wonderful whist player that it is no
trouble for him to remember for three
weeks afterward how the 50 cards of
any hand have been played.

sliding around. Such was the life on
board when the lack of preparedness at
the opening Of the war necessitated the
use of torpedo boats for anything and
everything except legitimate torpedo
boat service. And when proper vessels
to perform the duties to which the tor
pedo fleet had been diverted were pro-
vided it was too late. But although the
boats were worn out by the arduous
service they had been through, both
the boats and their crews had estab
lished records for endurance which ex
cited the admiration of foreign experts
in such matters.
In describing the life on shore the
ablest correspondents of the country
have worn out lead pencils most in
dustriously, and in this line one OF the
hardest workers has been Frederic
Remington, who describes and illus
trates the life of the Fifth Corps in
'Harper's Magazine for November.
He is as yet unable to decide which is
the worst-sleeping in a mud puddle,
being confined on a troopship, or shot
at. They are all irritating, and when
done on an empty stomach, with the
object of improving ones mind, they
are extravagantly expensive; but as
they satisfied a life of longing to see
men do the greatest thing men are
called upon to do, he is content. He
thinks the direct and only cause of all
the privation and delay which became
so notable in Skaters operations was
due to the fact that the command was
sent into the field without the proper
ratio of pack mules. Before San
Juan Hill the men were on half-rationS
on account of lack of supplies, and
were out of tobacco, which is very nee
essary to the well-being of a soldier.
| Toward the end of the fight, when he
was going to the rear, the sight Of the
road was indescribabe. All the broken
splints, bloody bodies, hopeless, help
| less suffering, which drags its weary
| length to the rear, are SO much more
| appalling than anything else in the
world that words do not mean any
! thing to one who has not seen it. Men
| half naked, men sitting down on the
| roadside utterly spent. men hopping on
one foot with a rifle for a crutch men
| out of their minds from sunstroke, men
| dead, and men dying. The story Of the
! bravery, patience and fortitude Of our
men is admirably illustrated and de-
scribed in Mr.. Remingtons article.

The Old Admiral.

Gone at last
That brave old hero of the Past!
His spirit has a second birth,
An unknown. grander life;
All of him that was earth
Lies mute and cold;
Like a wrinkled sheath and old
Thrown off forever from the shimmering
blade
That has good entrance made
Upon some distant, glorious strife.
From another generation:
A simpler age, to ours Old Ironsides
came,
The morn and noontide of the nation
Oh, not outlived his fame!
The dauntless men whose service guards
our shore
Lengthen still their glory-roll
With his name to lead the scroll,
As a flagship at her fore
Carries the Union, with its azure and
the stars,
Symbol of times that are no more
And the old heroic wars.
He was the one
Whom Death had spared alone
OF all the Captains of that lusty age,
Who sought the foeman where he lay,
On sea or sheltering bay,
Nor till the prize was theirs repressed
their rage.
They are all gone-all gone:
Powers;
Only their name and fame and what
they saved are ours!
1t was fifty years ago,
Upon the Gallo Sea,
He bore. the banner Of the free,
And fought the fight whereof our chill

thusiasm that the colored regiments Of
the regular army have aroused
throughout the whole country. Their
fighting at Santiago was ma gnificent.
The negro soldiers showed excellent
discipline, the highest qualities of per-
sonal bravery, very superior physical
endurance, unfailing good temper, and
the most generous disposition toward
all comrades in arms, whether white or
black. Roosevelt's Rough Riders have
come back singing the praises of the
colored troops. There is not a dissent
ing voice in the chorus of praise 1t
has been remarked with frequency and
with justice that one of the best re-
suits of the war has been the final eff
facing of all lingering sectional preju-
dices between the North and South
General Wheeler of Confederate fame
comes out of the Cuban campaign one
of the most popular national heroes.
The South is as proud of Roosevelt as
the North is proud of Hobson. 1t is
further to be remarked however, that
the laurels won by the colored troops
must also have a profound effect in
helping to solve the race question Men
who can fight for their country as did
these colored troops ought to have their
full share of gratitude and honor If 1t
should fall to our lot to administer
the Philippines, it might well turn out
that we could find a large field there in
civil as well as military work for. young
negro Americans of approved qualities
1t is at least admitted by every one
that the colored troops can stand the
Cuban and the Philippine climate much
better than our white troops. We may
also do we'll to enlist many recruits
from experienced material in Cuba and
in the Philippines, where thousands of

THE TROUBLES OF LIFE ON A
TORPEDO BOAT.
Scenes After Battle Are Always
Heart-Rending in the
Extreme.

When the United States torpedo boat
Porter started across to Havana on
April I'D, it was rough-rough even
for the Gulf Stream-and that day
and night showed that the life on board
was going to be a struggle with nature
"a test Of physical endurance The
Porter's motion in such a sharp sea as
runs nearly all the time off the coast of
Cuba was, to say the least, uncomfort-
able The roll was from thirty to for
ty-hve degrees each way, and twenty
five times minute, with occasionally
an extra roll thrown in, which went
beyond the registering limit of the in
d1cators,' and made one wonder why the
boat took the trouble to come back, it
seemed so much easier just to go all the
way round
10 rest and sleep in such conditions
was very difficult, and only possible
When physical exhaustion overcame
every other feeling, and then the sleep
was so broken that it ill-fitted one to
renew the exacting duties of handling
the delicate mechanisms of the boats,
or exercise the cool judgment and in
slant decision demanded by the service
The discOmforts and the trials borne
by the crews of these little craft dur
ing this periods will never be known,
nor could be appreciated by any per-
sons but these who were in the service
Some idea Of them can be CLEANED from
the article on Torpedo Boat Service"
that Lieutenant ]. c. Fremont, L. S. NJ,
commanding the Porter, contributed to
"Harper's Magazine" for November.
In addition to the other sufferings Of
the men, the heat below deck was such
that no one went there except on duty.
The life was on deck; those on duty at
their posts were on their feet; the re-
mainder, if not struggling with their
very simple meals, were trying to get
some sleep, stretched out and wedged
in between torpedo tubes and rails or
in some place that prevented their

ing of the assembly was that a reve-
nue. for the legitimate expenses Of the
federation must be secured, but the
ger of revenue in excess Of thiswas
also recognized. A matter which came
up before the new council of the fed
GRAFTON, convened the morning after
the election. and presided over by
Mrs. Lowe, was the taxation of affil-
lated clubs, of which there are two
the National Household Economic as
sociatiOn and the National Society
of New England Women. Both so
cieties strongly objected to the ten
cent per capita tax as applied ia
their organizations, and intimated
that such could not be accepted. As
non-acceptance implied withdrawal
on the part of these societies, a strong
effort was made to smooth the matter
over, and Mrs. Slade, representing the
New England Women, finally offered
resolutions which tided the matter
over until the next Biennial. These
resolutions were to the effect that
these national societies shall be re
spOnsible 10 the secretary of the Gen.
eral Federation rather than to the Sec
rotary of the state federation; that
they shall be represented on the nom-
mating committee of the General
Federation; that they shall have some
representation at state declarations,
and shall pay to the general society
an annual due of ten dollars, their
payment to the state federation being
Mt the rate of twenty-five cents per
chapter.
Other work was the adoption of
resolutions to further library work,
and one of confidence in President
Mckinley at this critical time, and
thanks to the brave men who are
fighting for the nation. In this was
included the hope that upon all is
lands, near and remote, liberty such
as is enjoyed by the United States
might be conferred. Some Legislation
proposed was the reporting of reso-
luton to petition congress to investi-
gate the prevalence of contagious dis
eases and to act thereupon. 1t was
also recommended that state fedora
tons endeavor to have legislation
passed to give mothers full possession
of their children, and to have at least
two women as members of the labor
commission to be formed at Washing
ton. Mrs. Henrotin, the retiring presi-
dent. was made honorary. president
of the federation. under the adoption
of a resolution that all presidents
serving two terms should be thus hon
Ored. and unanimously appointed a
delegate to the Paris exposition. A
motion on the part of Mrs. Henrotin
that he government be asked to ap-
point a woman on the Paris EXPOSE
ton commission, that woman to be
Mrs. Potter Palmer of Chicago, was al
so endorsed. Mrs. Charles Morris of
Wisconsin, presented an invitation
from the Citizens League of Milwau-
kee, composed of influential business
men, asking that the federation meet
in 1900 at that city.

luciOus Colorado wberries that one
could eat. Everybody was quickly
and promptly served, the tables SEN
sibly set out, with paper cloths and
napkins, clean light wooden plates,
the strawberries served unhulled ON
an extra plate, with powdered sugar
ut their side, and cups without sau-
GERS for the coffee or tea at each
place. Everything was on the tables
when the company was seated except
the tea and coffee, and the ladies who
served passed very quietly up and
down between the tables, bearing
great pitchers of these liquids. There
was no hustle nor confusion, and in
twenty minutes each luncheon was
over and the hostesses and guests lad
time to adjourn to the green for an
informal reception. After this, while
each set waited for its train, as many
as cared to were taken for short
drives about the town in carriages
provided by the citizens of the place.
A feature of the day was the
hearty cooperation of the men of
Idaho Springs in the effort put forth
by the ladies to entertain the biennial
visitors. They were most efficient
aids, at hand every moment in the
most remarkable way, and prOfferiDg
their good offices with q smiling good
nature that could not have been as
sumed. The committee of the Dem
yer Woman's Club detailed to accom-
pany this excursion found, between
the unremitting attention of the rail-
road officials and the watchful care
of the Idaho Springs men and women,
their occupation entirely gone. To
every woman who went up clear
Creek Canyon on Saturday, June 25,
1898, the superb natural beauties
which it was her privilege to enjoy
must be eclipsed by the human virtues
that shone out for her from the start
of the trip to its finish.
BY an ingenious system of registry
carried out by Mrs. John L. Mcneil,
chairman of the Bureau of Informa-
ton, it was possible for the visiting
club women to find one another with
great promptness. Acting in coop
Grafton with the Bureau of Credeu-
tials and Registration, the name of
every woman in attendance at the
convention was, two minutes after
registration, promptly accessible. The
card system in service at libraries
was made use of and its application
proved of great value. The third day
of the convention the credentlal COM
mittee of the biennial distributed its
report, a neat brochure of fifty pages,
with the name of every club repre-
scented, and every delegate and MEM
Der of standing committees.
Among tn important business mat
tiers accomplished by the federation
was the amendment to the constitu-
ton. This. as finally passed, reads:
Clubs of fifty to enc hundred menu
bers shall be represented at the Bien-
NAL by the president or appointee and
one delegate; for each additional one
hundred, or major fraction thereof,
it shall have one additional delegate.
Clubs of less than fifty members shall
be represented by the president alone.
State federations of twenty re clubs
or less, shall have five delegates; for
each additional twenty-five clubs, or
major fraction thereof, one additional
