FORFEIT SELLING GAME.

interesting Amusement That Has Lots
of Fun in II.
This is game with lots of fun in
it. The lender should be a good talk
err and one not easily embarrassed,
for he has to act as auctioneer, and
can add much to the interest of the
game by his manner Of conducting the
sale.
The forfeits consist of orders to do
certain absurd and ludicrous things,
and these orders should be prepared
in advance, as many as there are
players. They are written on slips of
paper and the slips are put into en-
velopes, which are then sealed and
numbered, from one up. No one must
see the forfeits or orders but the per-
son who writes them; this work
would mutually fall to the leader.
The players take seats in a circle.
or semicircle, and the leader stands
in the center, with the envelopes in
his hand. He then offers them for
sale, saying that they contain some
thing of great value.
Eacn prayer is supposed TO have 500
at his command for buying, and as the
leader offers the envelopes, one at a
time, they bid against each other for
them. No one is allowed to buy more
than one envelope.
All the envelopes are kept sealed I'M
til the last one has been sold and then
are opened, when the reading of the
forfeits will be sure to make a good
deal of amusement.
At the end of the sale the forfeits
are to be paid in the order of the num-
bers on the envelopes.
Here are few suggestions for for
feits

204x230. The wings are divided from
the center pavilion by glass partitions
and the floor of each Is feet lower
than that OF the center pavilion, This
difference in elevation produces q
monumental effect, which is further
heightened by the use in the main en-
trance on the north front of two tow

water heating plant is TO be installed
In the cellar and the pipes are led

be forced during the winter and early
spring for outdoor planting. and in the
Conservatives will be kept tropical
plants. At the close of the exposition
many of the valuable plants that would
perish from the cold will be stored
therein and kept during the winter.
The glass sides allow the admission
OF the sun throughout the day. In this
wing will be shown specimens offplant
cultures grown in different countries

culture OF vegetables and fruits. The
west wing is used for general horticul-

ROOSEVELT, THE RANcHMAN.
Extracts From a Speech Which He
Delivered II Years Ago.

President Rooseveltis stop at Dick
inson, N. D., was great event In the
lives of the simple folk who live on
the great plains and carry guns Tor
playthings. Three times before he
has visited the little town, With is
not many miles, as distance in the
west is reckoned, from his old ranch
near Medora. The first visit was on
July 4, II years ago, and on that occa-
sion Theodore Roosevelt, ranchman,
was the orator of the day. The speech
which he made, while not sent broad
cast over the world as the last one
was, has been preserved in the files
of the Dickinson Press, and it is OF
interest now as it shows what the man
on the lone ranch was thinking of as
he rounded up the cattle branded with
the Maltese cross. In speaking OF the
future of the northwest, he said
I'VE are now doing in the northwest
exactly as our forefathers did in the
east, when that famous declaration Of
independence was declared by those
great men of America-building up
fine homes for ourselves and families,
but under different circumstances.
Here we have grand country, a ter
ritory that will make one of the
grandest states in the union. The
hardships of pioneer life in Dakota are
not what they were in 1776. Then we
were people of 100000, not a peo-
pie bearing great political influence.
We were people of the coming years,
considering our prospective political
influence, and what is true of our fore
fathers there in the east is true of us
now in the west. 1t is not what we
are, but what our children are to see,
and we, the people of today, may not
see Dakota in all her glory and grand
ness, but the people of coming years
will witness the power and glory OF
this country in it's fulness.''
OF the duties of American citizens,
Mr.. Roosevelt said in part: I'VE,
grangers and cowboys alike, have
opened a new land We are the pion-
GERS, and as we shape the course of
the stream near it's head, our efforts
have infinitely more effect in bending
1t in any given direction than they
would have if they were made farther
along. In other words, the first COM
ers in land can, by their individual
efforts, do far more to channel out the
course in which its history is to run
than can those who came after them:
and their labors, whether exercised
on the side of evil or on the side of
good, are far more effective than if
they mad remained in old settled COM
munltles. So it is peculiarly incum-
Dent on us here today to so act
throughout our lives as to leave our
children a heritage for which we will
receive their blessing and not their
curses
In conclusion, he said: 81 DO not

GAVE HIS CHILDREN ODD NAMES.

Some parents seem to have mania
for odd names to bestow upon their
children. never appearing to realize
that they will subject the young people
to all sorts of ridicule through life.

there lived in Nelson county, Ken

farmer. A short distance away there
lived another Louis Hamilton. The
latter was always in trouble, and
frequently the wrong Louis Hamilton
was arrested, charged with the others
offenses.
The first named married and de-
termined to give his children names
that would never be confounded with
others. So he named his first born
son London Judge and his second son
Reputable Kingdom. Then FIVE
daughters came to bless his household,
and he called them Southern Soil.

suitable home for aquatic birds. The
two remaining ponds will be used for
a display of fish. Still further west is
a circular marine basin 40 feet in di-
