Mr., Box Thinks the Average Man OF
Family Gives Too Little Time
to His Children.

Is it right to the child that he sees
and knows so little of his father? Is
all this commercial strife worth the
price Of a child being almost a stranger
to his own father? Men are some
times surprised that their children go
instinctively to their mothers, and so
little to them. But aside from the
natural instinct which draws every
child TO his mother, why should the
fact cause any wonder? A child at
taches himself to those who give him
the most attention, to the one who
joins him in his play. And II, as SO
many fathers do, a man places BUSH
ness first In his life all during the
week, and buries himself in those
modern curses, the Sunday newspa-
pers, on the day when he is at home,
what can he expect from his child2 1t
Is a case OF the child not seeing the
father during the week, and the faith.
er not seeing the child on Sunday. A
man must be the w%age-earner and the
family supporter. That is the duty
laid out for him. But when that Is
accomplished Is 1t worth his while to
push on into the commercial a al
the expense of the sweetening that
should come into the life Of every
man? In short, what prQhteth a mar

HELD BY THE SNOW.
Experience Of $50 Passengers on q
Northern Pacific Train in North
Dakota.

81. PAUL, MINI, April 3-Details
OF the experience Of passengers on q
snowbound train reached here yester,
day with the arrival Of a Great
Northern train due last Friday.
-Four days and fve nights they
spent upon the North Dakota prairie,
shut off from civilization. They
were short OF food and fuel, while
about them ragged the fiercest blizzard
the northwest has seen for years.
The train became stalled midway
between Williston and Minot. Tn,
coupling the engine, and taking the
conductor with him, the engineer
started back to Williston. The en-,
CINE, too, became snowbound and was
abandoned. This left the train, with
its eight coaches and $50 passengers,
lost to the world.
The second class passengers pre-
cipitated a riot 90 the first day, in.
sisting upon as large a share Of food
as the others had. They were finally
induced to to allow the women anC
children to be cared for first.
Monday evening Prof. Colgrove, O.
the University Of Washington, at
tempted suicide.
A telegraph instrument was found
in the conductors box and a youn.
electrician tapped the wires and mott
fed the operators at Minot and viii
liston Of what had happened.
From each place a snowplow wa.
started and after a hard nights worl
one Of them reached the snowbounr
train. The famished passenger
were removed to ST. Paul. II Is no
believed Prof. Colgrove can recover.

The PeOpls are for Cuba.

The Chicago Record Herald says: A
Republican Congressman from Michi-
gan is reported to have said that his
state would give the Democrats 80, 900
majority II tariff concessions were
granted to Cuba.
This prediction assumes that the
var for beet sugar is a popular war
and that the election Of Democrats
would be a logical punishment for Re-
publicans who desert the beet colors,
as 1t is radically wrong as 70 both
propositions.
The Democratic party will hardly
be the resort Of extreme proteetianists
under any circumstance, while II IS
perfectly clear that tbs main source
Of weakness OF the Republicans to-day
is the hostility that las developed
among them toward Cuban reeiproci-
ty. The Western Congressman Who
have been prominent in forwarding
this movement do NOT represent the
West. They speak for a refinery here
and there, but they do not speak FOR
tie people.
This may b. affirmed .ith conf
dence because the newspapers which
insist on those considerations OF honor
that should govern US in our negotia-
tions with Cuba, receiving abundant
assurance OF popular support and no
evidence Of dissatisfaction with their
course. 1t is certain that the recon-
mendations Of the President are gener-
ally approved, equally certain that
there is no public sentiment worth
reckoning behind the opposition.
The weakening Of the sugar forces
at the latest Republican caucus is
really a most fortunate thing for the
Republican party II it has lost con-
siderable prestige already that is sim
ply because it has temporized too long
with the foes Of reciprocity, and its
best hope lies in bringing them up
with a short check. The disasters
which are predicted TOR it are much
more likely to occur If It scorns the
call Of honor than they would be- If it
should obey the call loyalty.

Rnanston Aholishes aHello..

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
The word "hello,n which has been
used so universally since the inven-
ton of the telephone, has been strick-
en- from the lexicon Of Evanston soci-
ETY.. By a dictum Of the cultured
suburbanites only such phrases as
Good morning" or "HowdO you do?n
are allowed. The telephone girls have
been appraised of the movement to
make the word obsoleScent and have
been asked not to say 'hello' when
answering.
Mrs. Fl. II. Kingsley, President of
the Woman's Club, spoke of the refor-
nation in telephone p~arlance last
night. When called to the telephone
she said; GOOD evening. Who is
it?'
When asked about the movement to
adopt a new telephone greeting she
said:
eyes, there is such a movement on
foot, and / am glad TO say that it is
rapidly gaining ground. The word
hello is not a good word, and most
E~yanstonians have dropped it. dc
not believe the word to be the best we
can find. We would not use 1t II we
greeted a person on the street. Why
can't We be as courteous when talking
by telephone?h
