In another column of the In
dependent is q list of the mer-
chants Of Minot who have agreed
on an early closing hour. This
is certainly a matter Of congrat-
ulation. 1t will afford leisure to
merchants and employers which
they can have as well asnot dur
ing this time Of the year. And
the general public can easily ac-
comodate themselves to the new
arrangement. Minot is only
following the example OF other
cities and wide-a-wake towns,
who regularly adopt this plan as
soon as the oliday tradeis over.
There has been complaint that
the early clossin hour has not
been observed by every merchant
in other winters when the plan
has been trsed, that some have
forgotten that their signature
was given to a written agree
ment and could not honorably
be broken. 1t is certainly to be
hoped that there will be no such
i-violation this winter and, should
pit occur, that merchants will not
make it an excuse to open their
stores but wait until the offender
meets the just deserts of the pub
lic-whO want to see fair play
and believe the early closing hour
is for the best interests Of the
city.

7HYsELF,

Within a garden closely grown
With June's fair flowers
| saw you mirrored in each one
Amid the bowers.
I heard the thrush's song of o "
Bid me rejoice;
I heard the robins song above
Twas you sweet voice.
The modest violet looks at me
With you own eyes.
How came it that Fate should decree
Such Paradise?
A rose-the reddest-smiled at me
With your w lips;
The b~uttercups, from whom the bee
Loves nectar sips,
Smiles al it's own reflection strown
On your fair hair.
Two sister oses-rarest blown
Your cheeks so fair.
Then sought I one to be my own,
A modest flower
Thyself, sweetheart, the fairest blown
In Natures bower.

Harry Payne Whitney and His Arlstocratlc BeaeIes

Special to The Globe
NEW YORK. June 4.-Harry Payne
Whitney, owner OF Irish Lad and
number of other horses whose
value is large fortune, has recently
bought three beagle hounds from the
ChesterShire kennels in England, paying
a record price of s16,4 ,45e for the trio.
The dogs have pedigree that dates
back nearly to the Norman conquest and,
taking the word of the beagle wise. they
are without peer In their class and well
sporting young millionaire.
To the ordinary observer they are quite
ordinary dogs, who do not in the least
appear to realize their cash value Except
for the cautious care that is taken about
their every movement no one would sus-
pect that each dog is worth small farm.
They wag their chunky tails and are quite
willing to lick the hand of the friendly
plebeian, provided the austere looking dog
valet that accompanies them when they
take their exercise condescends to allow
them to mix for the moment with or
dinary humanity.
The three beagles, respond OCCASIONALLY
to the sonorous titles, Ramona Damona
and Menada, these being the official names
entered in the blue stud book of England
In private life or in the kennels they come
much quicker when addressed as Cup,
Chuck and SQuint
Their arrival in the Whitney kennels
occasioned considerable eommotion not
only among the other blue -bI0oded Dlrns
put among the attendants as well, every
one wanting to be assigned to their es-
peciaI care, indSmuch as they are the high
est priced dogs and are due to attract
no end of attention next winter when

They have special quarters provided
with every convenience for dog comfort,

Five of the twelve boats which start

the lake shortly after A. o'clock yesteT-

when the encounter with the elements

prehenS1on as to the safety Of the sailors
grew intense around the shore lines
A good view Of the lake had been inn

condition of affairs among the yachts.
Inc squalls came down on the yachts

the crews or the capSiZed boats but were

themselves very lucky in weathering the
storm without serious accident and

which was oft repeated last night. to the

was drowned yesterday, with a total of
twenty three yachtsmen clingfng to mn
