Al bitter Dtsa ppointment.

II is reported that the city boys
from the east who went west to help
ont with the harvest work were much
disappointed. Probably they were.
Their ideas of farm life were gained
from operas or novels, which are full
OF pretty milkmaids. new mown hay,
golden grain, sweet breathed cattle,
fiowery fields and shady brooks. with
dressed up young people to enjoy these
things and work little on the side.
The sweating is always done by some
body In the background, who occasion-
ally appears and taiks New England
dialect of seyenty-five years ago. These
young fellows from the east didn't real
lie youths bright dream. The rude
farmers with ten cent straw hats and
sweaty shirts expected them to 20 right

paraeois over them, and actually labor
Yes. SIR, and on many of the farms
there were no automobiles to take them
TO and from the fields, no electric fans,
no soda fountains, no golf links, and
dinner consisted OF only one course!
Who can blame the carefully nurtured
cross country runners. rowing cham
pions. football players and golf ball
chasers for not wanting to work UNI
der such disadvantages? But their ex-
perience may be valuable, for 1t may

to realize that farm life ID real and

FEEL THEY'VE BEEN SACRIFICED.
The Canadians Angry over the Result of the
Boundary Arbitration.
CBv the Associated Press.)

Victoria. b. c., Oct 21.-British Co
lumbians have heard the news of the set
Element of the Alaskan boundary question
with a feeling bordering on disgust at
what is popularity termed 1.-The sacrifice Of
Canada by Great Britain on the altar of
political expediency' The people of west
ern Canada are bitter because OF this and
the general trend of the opinion seems to
be that the action of the British com
missioners has started a wave OF popular
opinion which may be the opening wedge
of the weaving of Canada from the pa
triotic reliance upon the mother country
which has marked the dominion in the
past. The people feel that it is again a
compromise diplomatic settlement ar
ranged by the British diplomats and ac-
ceded to by the British commissioners for
the sake of maintaining friendship between
Great Britain and the United States.
London, Oct 21-The comment Of the
afternoon papers here on the Alaska boun-
dairy decision is similar to that OF the
morning papers. "Regrettable but honor
able sums up the general tenor. The st.
James Gazette says it considers the fact
that Chief Justice Alverstone signed the
dNdIu 10 ne pIool OI lhe collc1Ihesn thele
of, and adds:
I'VE have the fullest confidence, there
fore, that the decision we deplore was alb
solutely required by the justice of the
case"
The st. James Gazette regrets that the
Canadian commissioners published an eX
PLANTATION OF their position, appearing to
cast reflection on their colleagues and
the Pail Mall Gazette comments on the
lack of dignity and self-possession shown
by the Canadian commissioners in declin-
ing to sign the decision and declaring the
finding to be an 'unjudicial one"

Just as he was leaving the Fair Grounds,
Mr. Broughton detected a pickpocket with
his hand in his pocket. As soon as an
attempt was made to apprehend the man,
his pals, including a female, came ITO his
rescue and it required a hard fight to
arrest the original pickpocket. 1t is un.
fortunate that the woman, who fought
as viciously as wild cat, and the men
who also attacked Mr.. Broughtop, his
friends and the officers, escaped. But one
man is in Jail in default of one thousand
dollar bail, and today it is to be hoped
that his pals can be caught. The jail
ought to be filled with these peripetetic
thieves that infest all public gatherings.

The next session will meet with the

1905
l was talking last night with a promi-
rent member of the Grand Ledge and he
said:
Yesterdays session of the Grand Lodge
of the knights of Honor of the State of
North Carolina no doubt marks one Of
the most important milestnes in the his
tory of the order in this State
For a number of years the order acting
upon the old adage that it is a good pol
icy to let well enough alone. has, SO to
speak, rested upon its oars and has not
entered the field of fraternal insurance
companies with that vigor that is charac-
ter:stiC of our day and generation. But
upon motion in yesterdays session of DR..
Thomas NJ Jordan. of this city, an entire
ly new plan has been adopted, which no
doubt means much for the good of the in
stituton in this State. 1t wuold not have
taken you long, had you been present, to
hear the discussion, to have been persuad-
ed that in order that there are men who
are thoroughly conversant with the exist
ing conGltioas surrounding us, and tho
speeches for and against this motion,
which finally was made unanimous show
ed that the Grand Lodge of the knights
of Honor has no reason to be ashamed
of its members or the record it has and is
making in North Carolina.
The order is among the oldes. Of its
kind in this State, and while nothing bu.
true merit has enabled it to withstand
the onsaughts by paid agents of other
institutions, it Is by no means a weakhng
but full grown, well financered institu
ton. and us to matter of finances in a
better condition than ever before mi it,
history. Old lodges are increasing their
membership and new ones have been in
stituted, and in most every instance
lapses have been recognized, so ,Aat now
the knights of Honor has no reason to
take any back seat or feel downcast. but
every reason to buckle on the armor with
renewed courage. and go forth to meet
the existing conditions and the victory is
ours"
