to the children trudging home from every
schoolhouse in the city. Some of the chill
dren showed their delight in one way. some
in another. Some snowbaled, some skated
along on their shoe leather over the icy
pavement the elder girls walking clannish-
ly along in groups.
One group of three boys turned in at the
gate of a large gray frame dwelling. There
was trim little stable at the rear of the
house, and under its portico a line of
upturned boxes, in which flower bulbs were
packed. Upon these the boys took up their
station and began earnestly to discuss juve-
nile matters. The gray dwelling was the
home of the chunky boy of the group. At
one side of the gray dwelling was a large
red brick; this was the home of the lank
boy. The other boy, the freckled one, lived
in the little old frame house at the end of
the street.
The freckled boys family consisted Of
himself. his mother and a baby brother.
The freckled boy was half orphan" and
his mother was obliged to take in washing
for the support of her little family, for the
reason that his father, a timer, had been
so improvident as to die and leave behind
him only mortgage of five hundred on
the little frame dwelling which was home.
The chunky boy spoke proudly of his
chunkiness as muscle; the other boys ridi-
culed the idea. What there was of the lank
boy besides bone was muscle of the hardest.
His biceps and back and leg muscles hurt
the hands of the boy that pounded him.
AS for the freckled boy, thanks to the pa
ternal lack of pecuniary foresight, he was
noticeable principally for his shabbiness.
Since his fathers misplaced confidence in
the top rung of a forty-foot ladder the
freckled boy had not once had a complete
new suit of clothes, and, he could not,
under these circumstances, take a great
deal of pride in his appearance, he seemed
to take a peculiar satisfaction in looking
as rough as he could. AS he had adopted
this character nolens volens, he lived up
to it conscientiously.
The freckled boys face was study in
flesh tints and yellow ochre. but ne was a
born leader of other boys and he was the
dominate character among the Juveniles of
the ward Not exactly a Sunday-school
boy, he took pride in the next step toward
godliness. and a profane word was never
known to fall from his lips What was
more. he wouldn't tolerate swearing from
any other boy, and as the boys respected
| his muscles. they respected his notions
likewise. To the freckled boy every shade
of feeling was expressible in carefully ar
ranged words.
AS they sat lined up on the boxes in
which were packed the flower bulbs of the
chunky boys mother, the freckled boy sud
denly raised his voice above the low con-
versational tone:
Hi, kids" he called, "if there he amt
now!' He pointed he spoke with de-
risively crooked finger across the street.
The other boys looked in the direction he
was pointing. Across the street a tall lad
about their own age, but alien in build and
cast of features, just turning in
at the gate of the large cream brick
house. The cream brick was by all odds

out, dapper and with his violin case under
his arm, the other boy greeted him:
Say, what's your name-honest?'
"LieZen Gronland."
"Awh-cut it out. You can't expect us
felers to handle any such thing as that
every day. say, would you object to be-
ing called 'Bats?'"
In answer, the rather sad face of the
other boy flashed into a sunny smile. Gu
riously, it was the peasantest thing he haG
heard for many a day. this rough tone OF
boy that all the other boys looked up TO: He
tried to hide his violin case back of him,
remembering the taunts it had brought
upon him. But the eye of the other boy
followed his movement.
Say" he said gently, "cut 1t out. If
could play like you can. / guess l wouldn't
be ashamed of il. 1 can't play French
harp myself, but I'm goin TO learn TO play
a cornet some time, when l get the money.

an we amt got nothing to throw away.
He glanced down on his worn clothes in
spite of himself, and his face crimSoned.
The other boy saw il and understood.
He stepped forward impulsively and linked
his arm in that of the freckled boy. De-
spite mis- slangy speech and shabby clothes
there was something very magnetic about
the lad There was that about him that
made one feel that shortly he was going
to take a good grip on Fate and force her
to turn forward a pleasanter aspect. 1t was
this that the more sensitive Polish lad felt,
and that drew the two into peculiarly
close friendship.
AZ saw" went on the freckled-fac boy
awkwardly, Ma told me what youn the
old gentleman did for Johnny the other
day-and, say, L feel about proud Of
myself a muskeeter in bucket of paint. ="
He put his arm socially about the slender
shoulders. ME and ma thinks a heap Of
Johnny, you know, and Johnny thinks
you're the whole thing. / say, you come
round TO the fort tonight / bet US kids II

Two Houses Reeonvene This After
noon-status Of the St. Louis Fair
Exhibit.
The legislature reconvenes its les
sion at 8 o'clock this afternoon. fol-
lowing the adjournment Of last Friday.
Tomorrow the members Of the two
houses meet in joint session to hear
the statements of the representatives
of the st. Louis exposition. They will
urge upon the state the Importance
of making a liberal exhibit of its re-
sources. The sentiment through the
state generally seems to be in favor
of as liberal an exhibit as possible to
make. Governor White does not favor
the erection of a state building. He
believes that this would cost about
$4,000 for building and maintenance,
and he thinks the money would be bet
ter expended in gathering an exhibit
of the states resources and displaying
them in the agricultural, mines and
dairy buildings. 1t might be we'll, he
thinks. to have a booth or Office near
the principal railroad center where in.
formation as to rooms. hotels and
other matters could be obtained by
visitors from this state. Otherwise. he
thinks what money is appropriated
would best be spent in exhibits.

Inspired doubtless by the wave OF
reform that has been sweeping over
Bismarck the Grand Forks Review
calls upon the police authorities OF
that city to stop the gambling evil.
Says the Review: The police authori-
ties of Grand Forks owe it to the pub
lie to see to it that the laws against
crime are enforced in this city-it Is
a part Of their sworn duty and the
way they are supposed to earn their
salaries. The statutes prohibit gam
bling and also the keeping Of resorts
for gambling. Now, isn't it about time
that the police took a hand in Kidding
the city Of the gambling Joints" that
are permitted to do business ostensibly
as peanut or candy shops, and yet
whose livelihood comes principally
from the victims of the various devices
for gambling and the professional
operators of the same? If this were all
the evil it might not be SO bad, but
these places. according to reports, are
hell holes Of iniquity' in that the
young boys of the city are lured in by
candy and other attractions and given
a course of instruction in the gam
bler's art that is likely in many cases
to ruin the boy.
