Naughty Girls PhiIosophy.

Former Gov. Gage of California has
a little daughter of whom he is won
drously fond and of whom he never
tires Of talking. She is the little lady
who christened the transpacific cable
when the American end was laid with
much ceremony in San Francisco.
Here is one Of the stories the former
governor tells, but always when the
subject of it is out of hearing:
One day he had occasion to repri-
mand her for some trivial offense, and
said:
my dear, where do you think you
will go when you die if you persist in
being naughty"
Without moments hesitation and
IN the most matter-of-fact way came
the reply:
Il don't know, and neither do you
nor any one else. It's enough for God
to know without me bothering my
head about it."-New York Press.

debate Of the international series at

Olger B. Burtness. John Anderson and

the debate was:
Resolved. That the adjudication of
disputes between employers and en-
ployes should he made part of the
administration of justice
Granted: That special courts with
appropriate rules may be established
If desirable.
Granted: That labor unions NAV

public may initiate such. proceedings. ("
The representatives of the Manitoba
university, Messrs. D. N. McLachlan.
c. w. B. Haslam and J. A. Reid, up
held the affirmative, and the American
rules of debate were followed.
The ground taken by the North Da-
kota debaters was that, admitting that
improvement could be made in the
system of settling labor disputes, the
measures proposed in the resolution
would not bring this about, but would

Broadland, S. D., March 28.-Quite
a sensation has been created here by
the publication of the story of G. w.
Gray. who, after special treatment
for three months was PROSTATE and
helpless and given up to die with
Bright's Disease. Brights Disease has
always been considered incurable, but
evidently from the story told by Mr..
Gray. there is a remedy which will
cure it, even in the most advanced
stages. This is what he says:
Il was helpless as little babe. My
wife and l searched everything and
read everything we could find about
Bright's Disease, hoping that would
be able to find remedy. After many
failures my wife insisted that l should
try Dodd's Kidney Pills. l praise God
for the day when l decided to do so
for t1is remedy met every phase of my
case and in short time I was able
to get out of bed and after few
weeks treatment l was a strong, well

life"

originally announced.
The change of date was made at the
request of the Grand Forks people,
who have a shooting tournament and

New Land District Is a Large One

"a
The house has passed bill Great
lng an additional land district in
North Dakota, the land office to be
located at Dickinson. The measure
has gone to the senate and will prob
ably pass that body early next week.
The purport Of the bill is to divide
what Is known as the Bismarck land
district into two land districts The
western portion of the Bismarck dis
trict will constitute the Dickinson dis
trict while the eastern portion will
constitute as heretofore the Bismarck
land district.
Under the proposed division the
Dickinson land district will have about
100000 acres of vacant land and
the Bismarck district will have about
100000 acres of land open for set
tlement. The object of the measure
is to facilitate and expedite the work
which has lately piled up in the old
Bismarck district. Assistant Commits
sioner Fimple in a report to congress
showed that the total receipts from
the Bismarck Office were $43,O5O for
1900, for the following year 54,253,
for 1902, $151,760 and for last year
$175,254. The area of the Bismarck
land district during these years con-
sisted of IL, 945,500 acres, and it is
the opinion of Commissioner Fimple
that to divide this enormous acreage
into two, would insure proper atten-
ton and convenience to new settlers.

transacted by the Bismarck land dis
