When the children gather around
your table for their meals do they
hear growls about the dinner or
gossip Of the neighbors, or an in

The vagaries of the telegraph serv-
ice have caused any number of serious
and amusing errors in the transmits
sion of messages. One of the most
ludicrous mistakes ever made by the
telegraph was caused by the loss of .
single dot in . telegram from Brisbane
to London news agency. As It
reached London it read thus: "Gov-
ernor-General twins first son." which
the news agency edited" and sent
around to the papers in the following
form: Lady Kennedy, the wife Of Sir
Arthur Kennedy, governor general of
Queensland. yesterday gave birth at
Government House, Brisbane, to
twins, the first born being . son." The
telegram arriving in the small hours
of the morning, there was NO time to
refer to any books, and IL was pub
lished by most of the newspapers In
London, and the provinces and caused
an unexpected sensation. Sir Ar
thurs friends pointed out with con-
elusive force that some one had
blundered, rs there never was . Lady
Kennedy, Sir Arthur being bachelor.
The repeated message which followed
read: ''Governor-G General turns first
sod" referring to . railway ceremony.

The successful hostess is she who
brings out the good points of her
guests, subordinating her own gifts or
only using them to draw out those of
others. Often the best way to bring
out a bright story is to tell one your
self; or if you want to get the talk upon
music or art or literature or home af-
fairs, or any other subject, it is easy
to steer the bark of conversation that
way; but when once the talk is well un-
der way, let the hostess not attempt
to shine over-much herself. Always
she should have in mind the pleasure
and recognition by her guests of what
is best in one another. Nothing of
this sort is possible u large party.
You must use thought, tact and good
win if you would successfully enter
tain friends, and you must be able to
get in touch with each. There is moth
ing so broadening to . woman's mind
as a wise. thoughtful hearty hospi-
tality. In no place Is . cultivated, re-
fined and thinking woman seen to such
an advantage as when entertaining in
her own home.-Ada C. Sweet, in Wom-

HOME RULE IN ICELAND.

For many years the Icelanders have
claimed large measure of home rule,
and their claim is now about to be Off
cially recognized by King Christian of
Denmark. The plan contemplated pro-
vides for the appointment of an Icelander
as special minister for Iceland, respon-
sible to the Althing (or parliament), and
who shall reside in Reykjavik during the
sessions of the island parliament. In the
interval between sessions he would sit in
the ministerial council in Copenhagen.
The receot visit of two hundred Danish
students to the island has produced a
much better feeling between the Ice
landers and the Danes. While they pro-
claim themselves loyal subjects of King
Christian, they are still asking for indie
pendence. Inasmuch as the situation is
better understood than it has been here
tofore, and the king has the power to
appoint special minister, it is quite
likely that the desires of the Icelanders
will be gratifed by the adoption of the
plan outlined.

THE PRESBYTERIAN CREED.

The world moves, religiously as we'll
as otherwise. The Presbyterian synod
has, by an almost unanimous vote,
agreed to modify the doctrine Of ''pre-
destination as now stated in the creed.
Such an idea would have not been dared
TO be whispered hundred years ago,
and yet no sensible man ever really was
willing ITO be damned for the glory OF
God, (which. was the doctrine Of those
times. In these days most churches are
willing and glad to extend to extend the
right hand of fellowship to any one who
loves God and his ne,ghbor as himself.
Doctrines are mostly opinions Of
indiyiduals- on matters which are either
unknown or iiloomprehensible to man.,
Of partially so. and there is a vast differ
ence between religion and doctrine, and
tits a good thing for humanity to see the
churches begin to recognize that differ.

The Bismarck Tribune, in giving the
origin of the names Of the counties of
North Dakota, refers to Cavalier county
as being named for Charles Cavalier"
of this city, who came to this country via
Hudson Bay Mr.. Cavileer was born in
Ohio, was one of the first settlers of St.
Paul, and came to Pembina from there in
1851. MIR. Cavileer spells his name
"Cavileer," but the county and town
named for him have followed the ordi-
nary spelling of the word Cavalier, {"
which is doubtless better, as it avoids the
confusion in spelling which would other
wise follow by strangers.

We are in receipt of the Gateway
Magazine" published at Crookston by
c. c. Knappen, and find that George J..
Silk, formerly of this county, seems to
be one of the head.push, and contributes
several well-written articles. Another
graduate from, this office also wields a
facile pen OH the beauties and opportuni-
ties of Kittson county, and signs the
name Of S. E. Thompson as author. The
magazine seems to be mostly devoted
to booming towns and lands on the other
side of the Red, and geographically and
otherwise is well gotten up.

The U. S. supreme court have this
week given out opinions that 'sthe con-
stitution does not follow the flag" in the
sense that all differences of condition of
people and place are notnecessarilyi yignor-
ed in our commercial and political deal
ing swith our new possessions. But the
court also says. and rightly. that the
fundamental principles Of liberty, ETC., of
the constitution do apply,-a1l of which
is good sense, whether constitutional or
otherwise. It is facts, not theories, that
confront us in the new lands. They are
different peoples, they are different
lands, at'present, whatever they may be
in the future, and this necessarily inters
different laws and different government
from our own in many ways, but not in
any way to abridge life, liberty and pur-
suit OF happiness.

Real sympathy and lots of it will be
given Sir Thomas Upton in the unfor-
tunate stripping of Shamrock II. of all
her spars and sails during squall while
trying her wings. King Edward was a
passenger on board at the time, and
while nobody was injured. the escape
was we'll nigh miraculous. Considering
the limited deck room, the immensity OF
the top hamper Of spars, sails and rig
ging, it would not have been at all won
derful if nearly all on board had lost
their lives. The race is deferred to
Sept 21.

In 1895, and again at later session,
the legislature annexed large section
of unorganized territory west of the Mis-
souri, to Stark county, with the general
object of taxing the ranch people for
their herds of stock, making a county of
such immense proportions that it has
been since humorously called the estate
of Stark" Last week the Supl eme Court
decided this annexation to be unconsti-
tutiona], and as they have been running
united for some years it is probable some
confusion and complications may follow.

SMALL Pox Bulls.

AS will be seen in the proceedings of
the County Commissioners printed in
this issue, the board have been diagnos-
ting the small pox cases as per bills rem
dered. In many cases these learned
county physicians have declared that no
real cause for county remedy existed,
while by general vaccination and dis
Greet disinfection some OF the most
malignant cases have been changed to
very mild forms of varioloid.
The board have also, by resolution,
established sort of quarantine against
the further spread of the contagion Of
the more virulent type of small pox bills
in the future. In fact, it begins to look
as if to catch the small pox in this coun-
ty, hereafter, would not pay as financial
operation.
Seriously, however, there is, to us,
this general line to be rightly drawn in
all these contagious disease bills, as fol-
lows:
There isn't any good reason why a
man should not have to pay all the ordi-
nary expenses of any illness in his
family, contagious or otherwise. if he is
able. On the other hand, it is only fair
that the public should pay for the ex-
pense necessary to protect themselves
from contagion. AS, for instance, it
would certainly be wrong to make the
man with smallpox in his family pay
for.t r.the'guard who keeps him isolated.
The chief difficulty lies in distinguish
ing, in some cases, to which of these
classes the bill rendered belongs, and
sometimes the services rendered or work
done may belong in part to both classes
that is, for the benefit of both the sick
familygand the public. Another difficulty
in this class of diseases is that not every
body can, and many people will not go
near such places to work or render SER
vices, and therefore the services rendered
necessarily have to be paid higher price
than Ordinary work.
Some of the bills rendered are, on
their faces, outrageous; Others, which
seem to be high, might be considered
very reasonable if all circumstances were
known, and some may have suffered re-
duction through the rapaciousness of
others when their bills were really just and
reasonable.
We believe the board intend to do as
near right as they can in these cases,
standing as the ydo as arbiters between
the county as whole and the individuals
concerned.

All Fishermen

Who are laboring under the notion
that the late Minnesota legislature passed
a law requiring residents Of North Da-
kota to pay a license of s25. 90 for fishing
in Minnesota lakes, or else be fined for
50 doing, are hereby notified that this
report is mistake-the legislature
passed no such law, they did change the
date of commencement Of black bass

Of May 18th.

TURNED OVER.

Tire N. P. lines in Manitoba were for
mally transferred to the Manitoba gov
.ernment on Saturday last at midnight.
The train service at present is running
the same as usual, with the same en-
ployes and officers, though by circular
they are informed that they are now in
the employ Of the government. The
transfer was apparently made in a rush
for some reeson, but supposedly to avoid
injunction, as the opposers of the transfer
have started legal proceedings to stop
the transfer if possible.
The Manitoba government have but
little rolling stock for their new road,
and will either have to purchase cars
and locomotives or lease the road to
others. 1t was given out that the road
would be leased to Mckenzie & Mann,
but we understand that other parties
have made offers, and that the bargain
may tail after all. AS time develops cir
cumstances, the finger of the c. P. r.
appears more and more clearly as the
motive power in the whole transaction.
lust now the Robin government are
pretty busy trying to please and placate
horde of people who have been pro-
missed jobs on the new line.
Under any circumstances, no especial
change in running of trains or amount of
passenger and freight business can be
expected until the new line to Port
Arthur is finished. Some hundred miles
or more was to be done this year-to. fill
gap from Rainy river eastward.
Many rumors are rife as to probable or
contemplated branches and changes in
this locality. One is that Mckenzie 3
Mann will run branch along the
boundary line from Koochichin or some nllle
where there to Kittson county, or Emsr-
son, OF. ia. the Red river somewhere.
Another is that the Great Northern will
reiron the old grade between Emerson
and st. Vincent, and, crossing the bridge
at Emerson, Connect with the n. r.
government lines. and again the St.
Vincent branch become the main line
between St. Paul and Winnipeg. s.
While we take little stock in these
stories, they at least point to possibili,
ties, If not to probabilities, in the near
future.
Manitoba nearly had rebellion to gst
the N. P. into their country. Now they
have given an immense sum to get Il
out. The time will come when ManitpbS
will find the necessity and utility q alt
possible American roads and compstiy
ton. The true remedy for high railroad
rates is not government ownership bpt I
competition.
