STORY NEVER GROWS OLD.
Marriage and Courtship are just
as Popular as Ever They Wero

SIT is always interesting, said mid
dle-aged woman of wide experience,
ito read up and study the why's and
wherefores of the various articles on
the subject of marriage. 1t always sets
me wondering what manner of people
they must be who look no further for
their authority than the frivolous gos-
sip of the day, who never take the
trouble to go down into the heart of
nature and the impulses that govern
humanity to find out why things are.
Now, somebody comes forward and pub
fishes statisticc of marriage in the vari-
Gus cities. and bewails the fact that the
proportion is in some places much
e. eater than in others. Then they
sigh and mourn over it, and really fall
to wondering what we all are coming
to.
"There seems very little in the situ-
alton to wall over, for marrying and
giving in marriage is going on every
day, and there is no good reason to sup
pose that the end of this is anywhere
near Counting is just as delicious
nowadays as it was hundred years
ago, carping critics to the contrary
Notwithstanding.
"The prospect of a little home of
their own is just as..alluring as it was to
our forefathcrs. and, everything taken
into consideration. it is not much more
difficult to maintain Il family now than
it was then. There are always foes to
fight, contingencies to provide against,
always chances of disappointments: but
in the main the sweet old story gets
told with as much sentiment as ever,
the goodbys are just as hard to say, and
the welcome just as warm. 1t seems to
me that people might be a great deal
better employed than in worrying over
the decadence of matrimony. Every
article of this sort that is put into print
is read by some one whom it may dis
courage or brighten, or fill WITH fore
bodings. This sort of literature is
bringing about the very condition of
affairs that it deplores, and more's the
pity that those who engage in it are un-
able to see the mischief they are doing"

Pleasant Trip.

DR.. E H. Belyea and wife, Tom Ar
nett and Tom Wagness spent last
week in camping on the shores Of
Wood lake, two miles south of Devils
Heart, on the Totten reservation, re-
turning Sunday. This lake, although.
not a large one, is we'll filled with
.pickerel and the party had good sue
cess fishing, catching some sixty fish
of an average weight of about two and
q half pounds. They could have
caught many more, but their permit
did not allow them to take the fish off
the reservation and no more were
caught than were needed. Boats were
procured from Indians living near by.
The distance from Devils Lake to
Wood lake is approximately thirty
Eve miles, going BY way of Jerusalem
and the east end. The only mishap
which occurred during the trip was
when Docs team got away one night.
One horse was recovered, but the
other is supposed 10 be on the reser-
walton somewhere.

The Fourth at gotten.


The Indian celebration at Fort Tot
ten this year was hardly up to the
usual standard for such events, and
the dancing didn't seem to 60 with the
vim and energy exhibited in years
gone by, when the Indians raised less
wheat and more hades. Nevertheless
it attracted q large number Of visitors
from both sides of the lake and those
who never saw an Indian dance before
no doubt feel we'll repaid for their
trouble. Owing to the fact that the
ground used in former years is now
nearly all under cultivation, the cele-
bration was held this year out among
the hills nearly three miles enst OF
Fort Totten. There were few Indians
present except those who live on the
Totten reservation.

The delegation from Ramsey county
to the Republican state convention
will undoubtedly be pledged to the
support Of Hon. John F. Cowan for re-
to the Office of attorney
general. It is almost equally safe to
that he will have no oppo-
sitlon in the state convention. There
are some things which Mr.. Cowan has
done during his administration of the
Office Of attorney general which de-
serve especial mention and for which
he should be given due credit. There
are reasons for his political strength
at home and throughout the state. AS
q member of the state board of equali-
cation he voted to increase the as
sessed valuation OF the railroad prop
erty in the state, which was in accord
ance with the declaration Of the last
Republican state convention and in
line with the wishes of the people of
the state. AS attorney general he has
fought the rate cases to APPOINT where
the railroads have been compelled to
reduce their carrying charges. The
new freight schedule which will go
into effect on the 18th of this month
will probably save the farmers Of the
state more than q million dollars a
year. There are, Of course, others in
the state besides Mr.. Cowan who have
played a part In this battle between
the people who pay the freight and
the railroads. but the burden Of the
fight. fell upon his shoulders and sue.
cess-the only true test-is the result
The INTER- OCEAN believes that the
cause Of prohibition also owes Mr.
Cowan q debt of gratitude. There is
no state in the union where prohi.
bition laws r as effective as they are
in North Dakota. Mr.. Cowan has done
his share as an officer to bring about
this condition of affairs. These arr
some of the reasons Why Mr.. Cowan't
friends think he should be renomi
mated.

livered before the convocation at
jamestown, North Dakota, June %:
The instinct of the people of this
state is already in accord with much of
the teaching of the church. It tells us
that we must keep our bodies ntemper-
ance, s%oberness, and chastity; and the
'strtutes of this state proclaim that
drunkenness is a curse that cannot be
tolerated within your borders. The
people have resolved on temperance
and s0berness, and it is a great step in
the right direction. Close behind it
we expect another upward advance
proclaiming that men and women must
keep their bodies in chastity, May the
day soon come when North Dakota will
no longer be the refuge of the unclean
seeking to break the vow Of holy matri-
mony by some swift divorce which will
give a sort OF license to make an un-
hallowed alliance, Since / spoke last
November IN this subject, I was
pleased to note that the upright Judge
who resides here, has set his face
against this thing, and that the suprome
court Of the state has also, decEaed
that the sham residence of ths4e4aho
come here for divorce will not be con
sidered valid. Now let the Legislature,
when it meets, declare that before a
man or woman can secure a divorce in
North Dakota, there must be at least a
term of residence as long as is required
to qualify a voter.
Then the reproach of North Dakota
will be wiped away, and the pure, in
dustrious, and highminded men and
women who live in this state, will be
free from the stigma that all the
world over lies against your people to-
day, as the refuge of the unclean.
sat meeting of general convention

marriage of divorced persons, innocent
or guilty, while the other party in the
divorce is living"

Hi.tory OF : Brave n.ra.

A great many misstatements have
been made about Old Abe, the live eagle

facts Of the birds history have been
supplied by Ella e. Gibson Of Barre,
Mass, and are given here for the infor-
nation Of readers:
The Eighth regiment, Wisconsin in
fantry, in all its long marches during
the first three years Of the civil war,
was accompanied by a live bird, which
was carried ON q perch by a soldier.
The bird was in all the battles Of the
regiment. but always escaped unscathed.
Old Abe's history is as follows: He
was taken from the nest in 1861 BY an
Indian III Chippewa county, Wis, and
was subsequently purchased by . oiti-
ZEN OF Eau Claire, who presented him to
Captain Perkins, the first commander
OF Company @. In 1864 he was brought
home BY the regiment and presented to
Governor Lewis, who transferred him
to the state. He was kept in the capitol
grounds at Madison as q valuable relic
OF the war until he died, March &c,
1881. aged 30 years. He was often ex-
hibited at fairs and was a great attrac-
ton at the centennial exposition in

Constant she finds it SO hard to remain;

Long be the lives of this little pair,
Sweetheart and maiden 20 bonny and fair!
Long may they live while their loves intwine,
Each with the other, like stems of the vine!
Or will this baby love droop and die
Ere many years have flow hurrying by?
Then will they deem it but childish fun,
Feeling no smart since no harm has been
done.
