dreadingly down the calendar toward the
hour when the burden of motherhood will
be laid upon her She, too, needs help.
But she too suffers silently because she
cannot speak and open the door to such

because to match modesty of speech there
is modesty of hearing.

The return of New Years day in
vites many people to the most s6mber
reflections. Undoubtedly most jof us
can find abundant occasion for these,
but there is such a thing as pushing
determination and self-condemna-
ton to the point Of discouragement.
The best temper with which we can
enter upon the new year is that Of
faith, faith in God and faith id our
selves through His help. It is about
as certain as anything can be that the
new year will bring us new expert
ences. Our courage, our capacity for
endurance, our steadiness of character
and power Of resistance is to be tested.
At the end of the year we are going
to be nobler men and women than we
are today, or we shall have deterior-
ated morally, and forever afterward
there will be narrowing. opportunities.
While We think of the. latter alterna-
tive it is we'll to strengthen our hearts
by the former. Let us believe that we
are not going to fail and we have taken
a long step towards success. When
another New Years day comes around
we are going to be able to reckon solid
gains in character won through the
trials and temptations and emergen-

Arrest of c. F. Merry, Who Had a
Previous St. Paul Experience.
G.. f. Merry was arrested at Glendlve
by Sheriff Allen, on the advice of
Sheriff Kono of Dickinson.
The charge is obtaining money I'M
der false pretenses, the amount being
$685. The complaint was sworn out by
Frank Lish.
Last April Mr.: Merry went to the
Twin Cities, Chicago and other East
ern points, on one of his periodical
scheming tours. He drew drafts on
the First National Bank of Dickinson,
and the First National of Mandan, in
which banks he had no deposits or
credits whatever. He had a slight ac>
quaintance with G. B. Bowlby, man
ager Of big st. Paul clothing house,
and succeeded in obtaining s275 from
that gentleman on worthless paper.
AS soon as Mr.. Bowlby found that, he
had been swindled he had Merry ar
rested on a criminal charge. Merry re-
turned home, where he succeeded in in
ducing Frank Lish, James G. Saunders
and L. A. Simpson to sign a. joint note
with him at the bank, enabling him to
raise 1856 with which to- fix up his ST.
Paul scrape. Merry made. all sorts of
promises, and gave. these gentlemen a
mortgage on property which he did not
own and never had. owned,
AS he made no attempt to straighten
matter up. his arrest followed. It is
understood that he will return without
requisition papers.

war vessel remain for a time in Ven

representa- lions that the United States
minister may have to make to the

the conflict regarding the asphalt con-

The vessel selected for this mission
is the historic Hartford, which, under
