Remembered by Appreciative Friend.
The superintendent of the Florence
Crittenton home gratefully acknowl-
edges to the citizens of Bismarck. who
have so generously contributed to-
wards the necessities OF the home.
her great appreciation of their express
sion of kindly interest for the work.
Especially does she desire to pub
licly thank Mr.. Frank Carr for his
earnest and untiring e%ndeavors in so
Letting subscriptions.
Yesterday was a day fraught with
pleasant surprises for the Florence
C%rittenton home.
In the morning a parcel of very sea
sonable articles of clothing arrived
from the active and energetic organi-
cation of Kings Daughters of Valley
City. Later in the day the home was
the recipient of a beautiful cabinet
sewing machine and set of dishes.
Each and all were much appreciated
but perhaps will they be more appre-
ciated from the fact that they are evi-
dences that greater interest is being
taken and new friends are being added
to this very important and much
needed work of caring for both body
and soul of u~nfortunates.

The Publisher Not in the swim.

There is about only one industry on
earth that has not advanced its prices,
says an exchange, and that is the
country newspaper. 1t pays more for
Office help, paper, ink. etc.-the editor
pays more for his living expenses and
the clothes he wears-and yet the
price of the paper remains ever the
same. He is the only mar on earth
whose price does not rise with the
prosperity of the times.

from the Southern point OF view
and with a vigorous, buoyant pig

MI. Watson's dedication of the book to
fine Jefferson OF our day in most gen.
.rous terms is as follows;
"Because he has ~consecrated his
wealth, talent, and energies to
the improvementof theconditions
under whichthe masses OF our peo-
pie live; because he has shown an
earnest. fearless and consistent In
terest in the cause Of the weak

The November Century Will contain
the ,arst published account OF the DIM
culties and dangers being successfully
overcome in the construction OF the
Hudson River tunnel. One Of the
most puzzling problems confronting
modern engineering skill has been
the necessity of tunneling not under,
but through water. How the prob
lem was solved and at what risk ana
cost will be the subject o: ii. Adding
ton Bruce's "Fighting the Hudson.
Work is going on also on a twin tun-
mel. Immediately to the south OF the
first. This second tunnel runs parall-
ell to its mate. both entering the river
at the foot Of Fifteenth Street in
jersey City and emerging at the foot
Morton Street in New York, between
the piers OF twOsseamsi,ip companies.
It is Thought that within a year both
may be available for the purpose fer
which they are built-trolley car tra.-
sit between Jersey f~,itvara New York.
With this issue the Aberdeen
DEMOCRAT enters upon the second
year of it's existence. The subscrip-
tion list has steadily grown without
any special effort to push 1t, thanks to
the good will of many old friends
throughout the county. Thetmpr0ve-
ment in the paper that meets with
generous appreciation is very largely
due to the kindly cooperation ct q
most loyal corps OF news gathers,
good girls and boys, throughout the
county. This feature Of township
news will be given much attention
and made az complete m possible.
The coming year will be repletewith
most interesting events and the
DENocRAT for the coming year aided
BY the good support sure to come to
It in due time, will be made interest
ing reading. The better and sooner
this support comes to Il the sooner
his paper will be what the publisher
hopes to make II.
