THE TOUCH OF AN ARTIST,
Ceiling Decoration of the Horsman Phar-
macy Finest in the State.

Celllng DECORATION OF the HOISman Phar:
macy Finest in the State.
Admittedly the most artistic piece
of work in the way of ceiling decora-
tions in the state of North Dakota, is
just being completed at DR.. A. T.
Horsman's drug store in this city. A
new steel ceiling with deep border of
the Empire style has recently been
put up. The pattern itself is one of
the latest, and independent of any
decorations is far ahead of the ordi-
nary, but with the touch Of the artist
it has been transformed into a master
piece of artistic beauty. The skill
displayed in the decorations is simply
marvellous, and must be seen to be
appreciated. The touch, delicate
blending and finish shows the handi-
work of the carefully trained, high
class artist-far beyond the ordinary.
To Mr.. Alfred j. Horsman belongs the
credit of doing the work. He is not
a painter, but he. is an artist.
For several years he was president Of
the Cincinnati Art League, an organ
ization made famous as having as
members olD Of the most celebrated
artists of America. We regret to state
that MI. Horsman is soon to..leave us
and locate at Dunseith where he will
become associated with his brother E.
j. in the drug business. Duuseith will
have gained a valuable citizen. But
he will have left at Devils Lake a
work of art which will serve as a re.
of his skill for many years.

BoYLEs.
Sale of Additional Lands.

There Is great future for Boyles. Be- cause of its peculiar fitness for the loca- tion of industrial plants, no section of this mineral-blessed locality has greater promise of immediate growth. It was a wise decision upon the part of the Louis vile and Nashville railroad in selecting this place for the building of it's much needed yards. roundhouse, shops and of- fees. The natural advantages of Boyles are thoroughly known to those having a knowledge of industrial needs. This ac- counts for the activity in real estate at this point. One real estate firm (Hewes & Booth, 222 North Twenty-first) has sold acreage amounting to about $100000, and are in position to know that experience, energy and wealth are all so actively combined that a town of 10000 or 12,000 inhabitants will spring into existence. So much money is being conservatively in- vested that values will not only be per- manent. but will greatly enhance, be- cause other industries are and will To- cate and erect their plants. While acre. age property can be obtained at so low a price 1t would be to the advantage of prospective purchasers to consult this en- terprising firm. as they have exclusive control of acreage property, said control being secured before 1t became generally known that the contemplated building pleasure in showing what they have, and we would modestly suggest that you see them at once. s@s

hesitate before saying that the arith- metics and algebras now used in the schools are full of unnecessary prob lems. At any rate, it would be inter- esting to ncte the efforts of instruc- tors to eliminate from each lesson the useless matter The textbooks on mathematics are rot perfect. of course but there is a sound belief that they represent the best thought of the worlds educators on mathematical questions and are well designed to give the learner an adequate knowledge of mathematics. II is to be feared that President James will not soon realize his ambition in the matter of making mathematics easy to all learners, but of course there may be some merit in the reform which Is to be inaugurated at Northwestern.
 For example. 1t should be instructive to a Chicago boy to have this problem laid before him: ''If it cost $T5O to buy one alderman. what would it cost to buy the president of the board? How much to buy the boss who controls the whole push?" Or, "If the average Chi cago lot yields 90 bushels of potatoes, from an entire block?" Or, At the present rate of making converts. how long will it take Professor Triggs of Chicago university to convince every body that Dithyramb Dick is a greater poet than Shakespeare" Concrete problems of this nature will be srasped at once by the Chicago youth,

Demand for Skilled L a6or.

DEMAND FOR SKILLED LABOR.
 The demand upon technical schools for skilled help in mines, on railroads, in laboratories. and in industrial pur- suits requiring special Knowledge brings to public notice the opportunities open ing up for young men today. Very few men having a speciality are idle in these times. It is the man who knows noth- ing in particular and is ready to do most anything who complains of low wages and lack of chances. MT. Pulit- gers plan to establish a school of jour nalism is in keeping with the tendency of the age, because newspaper work is technical in it's mechanical depart ments.
 The field for special education is wide and more money is needed to develop the industrial arts While MT. C9rne- gie is building library monuments al the various country cross reads. and MT. Rockefeller is adding to the scope of Chicago university as an institution for general education. why dces not some philanthropist direct his bounty into technical channels?
