A LIFE FOR LOVE.

A world below and u heaven above
Let us live, my dear; lot us live and lovel
We know not all TINT tho blue skies mean,
But tho beautiful lilies loll and lean,
And here Is the sunlight on meadows Of greer
And rivers with silvcry ripplcs between
A world below and heaven above.
Let us live, my dear; let us live nnd lovol
A world below and heaven above
Lot us live, my dcdr, for breath Of love!
We know not the meaning Of stars ind Skies
We only sec heaven in Loves glad eyes
And give him our sorrows. our songs and oul
sighs.
And red rose is born for each red roso thai
dicsl
For world below or heaven above
Let us live my dear; let us live and love!
Let US live, my dear, in the lonely lands
For kiss, u tear and clasp of hands,
For whatever blessings soul may miss
There is nothing in heaven as sweet rs this,
Loves kiss-love's lingering. first sweet kiss
With world below and a heaven above
And life my dear, that is lived for Lowell

Within the last few days the school
world herehas been very much aw aiken.
ed. The Bolkan school had received
an invitation to meet Mardell school
In q JOINT session at the latter place
on the afternoon of the 1lth inst. The
day and the hour had arrived. Senti-
nels had deserted the advance guard
of the approaching army standing
like statuary in the high box of q
double wagon. Bright eyes sparlkled
and glad hearts beat re they Que by
one alighted and were welcomed by
the teacher aud pupils Of tho Mardell
school. Then at the sound of the bell
all came trooping in the pride and JOY
of many fond parents. Aud many
parents and friends were also there
and witnessed the doings of this
throng of happy, joyous youth, and
their hearts rcjoiced with them. Tie
songs and the speaking and all the
exercises that each school had pre-.
pared were made doublly enjoyable
by being shared in common Then
came recess when all the children
marched out in single file for u frolic
on the playground. After recess the
scho OILS faced each other in line of
BATTLE. The battle ground lay in the
wilderness of English photography
and the weapons were words hurled by
the commander into the ranks of the
opposing forces.
"Spelling schools! Have you for
gotten them? When from all the
region round about they gathered into
the old log school-house. with its huge
fire place. No. they are not all
passed away like the memory of q
dream; for here was to be witnessed
the same interest in spelling as when
! our father or grandmother stood up
before them all the flushed but happy
champion in friendly war of words.
Cheers were given the yanquished by
the winning side for the gallant
fight they had made, and the compli-
ment was returned with interest
When all was over twenty five from
the Bolkan school, together with the
te acher, twenty-seven from the Mar
dell school and twenty-five visitors
filed out and the schoolmaster was
left alone. The joyous shout, the
laughter, and the babbling voices,
| like the music of = waterfall had haen
echoed and reechoed by the surround
ing hills and all again was still. But
the memory of it all will linger some
where when you and 1 are gone.
Care will come all to soon. Then let
us prepare more days of innocent Joy
for our children. EYE WITNESS.

1t is now being suggested that
a new judicial district be created
in order to relieve Judge Pollock,
who it is claimed. is overworked.
It is proposed to cut off Cass
county and make it one judicial
district and then make Steele
and Traill another. It would
seem to us that we have now all
the districts necessary without
creating any new ones and while
Cass county may be able to furn-
ish enough work for one judge
Steele and Trail counties could
not find half enough work to keep
a court busy. What is needed is
a redistricting all around to re-
ieve the pressure in the third
district.

noee,s SECRET Of success.

There was once man out west Of the
name of Boggs, and everything went
his way. He was SO fortunate as to be
sLe object of much curiosity and COM
ment among his associates and acquaint-
ances, who asked him how he played
his game. Mr.. Boggs replied that he
worked on theory that was left him
as legacy by his father, who was one
Of the most successful men he had ever
known. He divided his property among
; the other children, and to his eldest
son, John Boggs, he left the family BIZ
bio rs token of his love and confidence
and added that within its pages you
will find the secret of my success in
life''
Boggs was good deal put out, but
he had q philosophical temperament,
and nobody discovered his chagrin and
his feeling Of envy toward his brothers
aud sisters, who divided the real and
personal property. The next Sunday.
having nothing better to do, he took
down the Holy Word from the shelf
and, turning over its pages, discovered
sealed envelope which bore his name
written in the we'll known hand Of his
father. Tearing it open. he found .
short but significant sentence upon q
sheet of, paper. In telling his story
Boggs said that he had faithfully fol.
lowed his fathers dying injunction, and
the theory which the old man had prac.
ticed SO successfully had been equally
valuable to himself.
Then. Of course, everybody sprang up
and inquired what was written on that
piece Of paper.

Miss Glennie Colby.

Miss Glennie Colby has just return
ed from her homestead in Griggs
county, N. D., where she has been for
the past two weeks. She says that
while there party of friends, about
II in number, got up a straw ride,
terminating at her shanty, which is
l2x14 feet. The evening was passed
very pleasantly with games. At u
o'clock coffee and cake were served,
after which some of the party furnish
ed banjo accompaniments to sold
Sod shanty," etc. The party broke up
at 2:30, leaving Miss Colby and Miss
Fluke to 'Hold Down the quarter Sec
tion." +"
The little abode was soon wrapped
in silence, broken only by u roaring
fire which the claim shanty stove in
sisted on providing. Miss Colby,
fearing for the safety of her little
cabin, went out into the darkness to
look at the roof, and when about 20 feet
from the open door, there came forth on
the ''stilly night" such ferocious howls
as to send her through the door and
into bed at almost a bound. The
wolves then sounded the ''grand ad-
vance," but with the door securely
bolted, the girls rather enjoyed the
music which the wolves furnished for
the rest of the night. This was only
one of the many pleasant evenings
which Miss Colby passed during her
stay and she highly compliments the
North Dakota people on their socia-
bility and tospitality.-Moorhead

The New Jersey legislature
evidently thinks that old bache.
lors either ought to be taxed or
get married. That august body
is now considering a bill which
provides for a So tax on bachelors.
The bill should also include old
maids and contain a proviso to
the effect that they might use
leap year privileges and ask the
bachelors to marry them or pay

migration to North Dakota this
spring, by parties who have post
ed themselves on the resources
and advantages of our state
There is no use talking, North
Dakota is the peer of any state
in the union for agriculture and
stock, and offers the best induce
ments to the man of limited
means. There are thousands of
as fine farm lands vacant at this
time as can be found lying out
of doors, which can be
secured at q nominal
figure. Griggs county is one
of the best agricultural counties
in the state and our farmers are
steadily but surely putting them.
selves in comfortable circun
stances, by their pluck and en-
durance and with the assistance
of the fertile acres they till. All
over the state we read of large
delegations that will come out
from the eastern states to take
homes in this magnificent state
of ours. We already have heard
of one colony of ten families that
will come to Griggs county this
spring to take up farms, and
others are no doubt thinking
seriously of doing the same.
We have room for several hun
dred good farmers and all can
secure farms on reasonable and
easy terms. If any of our down
east readers are thinking of COM
ing to North Dakota, we invite
you to talse a look at our own
county of Griggs before you To-
cate. We have as fine land as
any county in the state, rich hay
meadows, good water, and what
| is still more important, good
schools and churches all over the
county. Write to any of our real
estate dealers-Messrs. VIM.
Glass, J. o. Ole, A. M. Baldwin,

quote you prices on farm lands
and give you all the information
concerning same that you may
desire. We invite you to come
to North Dakota and particularly
Griggs county.

Those who we're present experienced
the fact that listening to the narration
of one who has far more interest and
inspiration than receiving it through
the medium of cold type. At the meet
ing previous to this, Miss Fitch gave
the ladies q very instructive and COM
prehensive talk upon kindergarten
work, it's origin and something OF wha.
it aims to accomplish in training the
body, soul and spirit of the child from

Miss Fitch will favor the ladies with
other talks on the subject, as no other

mothers and fathers.

A number Of women have been arrested during

them when they were arraigned the Magis-

At ! O'Clock yesterday morning Patrolman
John T. Recdy OF the Sixth avenue station ar
rested Mrs. Zillah Olsen. % years old, of Third
avenue and Twentieth street. She was ar
raigned before Magistrate Bristow in the
Adams Street Police Court yesterday morning.
She told the Magistrate that she was a married
woman, and that her husband was a house,
smith. She said she was standing AT the cor
ner Of Third and Flatbush avenues waiting for
a Third avenue car, when the policeman at
temped to nlrt with her. She paid no attention
to him. she said. and then he arrested her.
Patrolman lieedy said she had addressed two
men. He also said that she was intoxicated
