I SOURIS
Big celebration a decided
success. Eloquent add
resses by S. B. Mahany
and John Flittie.

On Wednesday, the 18th inst. the
sons of Norway met at Souris to cele-
brate the ninty first anniversary of the
Norwegian declaration of indepen-
dence. Readers of history Will re-
member that after the defeat of Napo-
leon the allied powers demonstrated
with Norway for her commercial re-
lations with France and handed her
over to the kingdom of Sweden. Fol-
lowing this on May II, 1914, the Nor
wegian people declared and secured
their independence and although they
are still connected with Sweden in
some measure they are Independent in
government. It is no wonder they cele-
brate the 18th of May. We, who re-
we're the famous declaration which was
issued on July 4th, 1776. can fully
sympathize with their joy on the an
niversary of their independence. We
can understand, too. that although
good citizens of this land of their
choice their hearts still beat warmly
for the land of their birth and it is
right that this should be. We will
always feel it in our hearts to rejoice
with them in their love of the father
land.
The celebration at Souris was de-
cided success. The day was fine and
all arrangements had been carefully
made. An excellent program was
given. Ole Ronning as president of
the day delivered a neat address of
welcome in Norwegian. Hon. s. B.
Mahaney made an eloquent address
appropriate to the occasion and showing
deep insight into the history of Nor
way and voiced broad sentiments of
appreciation Of the Norwegians as
citizens of this country John Fit
tie reviewed the history of Norway
and drew striking comparisons between
political ideas and conditions here and
in Norway. His was an excellent ad-
dress. The Souris band covered them
selves with glory and won planoIts for
their excellent, q music especially in
their rendering of Ole BulI's Fantasia
including "Saeterjenten's Sondag."
The ball game between Souris and
Westhope was very interesting up to
the seventh inning when the score
stood 2 and 2. After that the West
hopers gained rapidly the final score
being and in their favor. Other
games including running, jumping,
etc. enlivened the day. An excellent
concert was given in the evening, one
Of the features Of which was the sing
ing of the national airs of the United
States and Norway by double male
quartette. After the concert big
dance was given as close to a most
successful gala day.

leave the Sunday rest of his hunting
camp to hear an humble backwoods
preacher tell the story of Christ life,
his vicarious death and glorious res

away from the haunts of wealth and
fashion-the president rode, clad in a
wellworn hunting suit. his battered
sombrero, his soiled khaki overalls,
his trousers legs tied at the bottom
with string, spotted bandana
handkerchief about his neck, his face
bronzed with the unsparing sun and
wind and snow. Hundreds of cow
boys and ranchmen, learning of his
purpose, gathered with their families
from miles and around to worship
with him and clasp him by the hand
as friend and brother. With what
amazement must cars and emperors
and kings of Europe read Of these
homely doings'

A Note of Warning.

AT the last meeting OF the North
western District Medical Society of
North Dakota, held in Minot, April 4,
it was decided that one of the objects
of the society should be mutual pro.
lection of its members, as we'll as
their mutual advancement profession
ally.
A committee was appointed to de-
wise a means of dealing with those
parties who failed to make reasonable
efforts to meet their pecuniary obliga-
tions to their physician. This CON-
mittee is to make a report at the
next meeting.
The committee, after series of
meetings, has it's report ready. Some
of the suggestionsln that report are
as follows:
First That each doctor in the
district, furnish the secretary of the
society list of the names of those
who have not made reasonable effort
to settle their accounts with him.
Second. That the secretary shall
give such parties whose names appear
on the list. notice that their names
have been handed him and that if
they have not, within certain time,
made settlement with their physician,
their names shall be placed on the
society "Black List -
Third. A copy of this "Black List
shall be furnished every doctor in the
district.
Fourth. It shall be the duty of
every doctor in the district to refuse
medical or surgical aid. no matter
what emergency, nor how urgent the
case may be, to such delinquents as
are included in the "Black List un.
til they have made satisfactory set
tlenent with their former phycician.
Many people believe that doctor
is obliged by law to answer sick calls.
This is an error. Many also believe
that it is his duty to answer calls
where he knows positively that he
will not receive paw. 1t is no more
his duty to go and give his services
gratuitously than it is fol some sym
pathetic neighbor to furnish from
their own pocket the fee for the ply
sician' services.
It is easier for each individual of
the neighbors to furnish medical care
for sick patient, than it is for the
doctor alone.
The district includes tbs counties
of William ., .Wafa, McHsslry, Pierce
and Bott mead. Z - - ~

several illustrations from Ben Hur,
and also reverted to it in referring to
the teachers work. E;@6.t& t#s#
A teachers supervision must be
complete or the eggs of mischief will
be as plentiful as the crocodiles along
the Nile without the help of the
friendly Ichneumon to eat them up.
The means of getting an education
were dwelt upon, and the first mention
was the home. Happy the man who
has had good one, for Gas the twig
is bent the tree is inclined, and the
impression and environment of the first
seven years of life are usually lasting.
The second means was the various
experiences of life. A child learns
from experience. A fall teaches him
to be more careful, a burn to keep
away from the source of pain. One
bad boy can do more in one day to cor
rupt child, than home nature, church,
and school can overcome in year,
while good companions are a great
up lift. The counter influences of
good and bad reading was referred to.
Details of executions and revolving
crimes should be prohibited, and
books should be read more carefully
even though fewer in number.
The church is another means of ed
ucation. and it is necessary for each
one to have an aim, an end, and mo-
tive in life. Prof. Kennedy dwelt
upon the value Of Ideals, and the in
fuence Of pictures and art to establish
the true idea. He also related the
story of The Great Stone Face, and
how imperceptibly we grew into a
semblance Of what we loved. He lik-
ened children to basswood, mahogany
and rosewood.
The tests Of education were, first. the
use Of language. both oral and written,
and the necessity Of its proper use at
all times in the home.

ners are the mantle for 9 fine mind.

zoo BOA HARD TO BOARD.
Constructor Forced to Eat If It Takes
 an Army to Subdue It.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
 ''It is no joke running boarding house for big snakes" said a man who has spent most of his life at work in the rep tile-houses of various ZOOS You wouldn't think boa constructor was finicl<y, fas- tidious critter. but he is, and some of the biggest cost something like Sl000 to im- port; why, they have to be coddled like a millionaire's baby.
 After the big snake gets rested from his long voyage. not having had meal all the way, we try to tempt his appe- tite first with a plucked chicken. It has to be right fresh. for if it Is twenty-four hours old the sarpint won't touch it. He examines it carefully with his tongue. and then, if 1t is up to the mark, swal- lows 1t whole in leisurely fashion. His jaws are wonderful elastic. I've known a 'strictor to get around an animal four times his own diameter.
 Well if his snakeship won't tackle the chicken the trouble begins. for he must eat, and heroic measures must be taken There is no poison in a 'strictors fangs, but they can tear with their teeth and strong jaws There are four rows of teeth in the upper and two in the lower jaw, sharp-pointed and edged like a ra- zor. Now to make the big fellow eat you must enter the cage. Be cautious and calm, TOT IT you SHOW dHy tACileiliehl he'll nip a piece out of you.
 Walk into the cage softly and when you get chance slip a blanket over the snakes head When you've done this successfully push his head outside the cage where it is caught by an assistant and hauled out. Sometimes fifteen men are required to draw out the sarpint and hold him in a straight line. The snake is then taken into a warm room, every man holding on like grim death and his jaws are forced open and half dozen quinea pigs administered by force.
 ''rhough it takes fifteen men under the circumstances to feed the strictor. some times when he is strong he can toss them about like straws but generally he gives up after while, and is glad to get back to a tank of warm water, where he is allowed a couple of weeks in which to digest his enforced meal.
 Snakes in captivity-that is. the big gest-you don't have to feed forcibly than two or three times before they will eat of their own accord.
 How they do eat when they feel like it, Most of these big snakes die of pneu- monla or diphtheria, for it's hard to keep mp in captivity the temperature in which they are accustomed to live. If the air is kept below 70, why. off they go"

ANCIENT CHAIRS.
Rare Pieces of Furniture Found in
 American Homes.

From the Pilgrim.
 Not long ago I enjoyed the privilege of admittance to some homes of Salem con taining rare pieces of historic furniture each replete with history dear to the heart of the lover of tradition.
 Perhaps the finest collection of an- tiques in America is gathered under the roof-tree of Mir Charles F. Waters, who lives in Washington square, and among them all stands forth a chair, which, be- cause of real beauty. commands admira- ton. It is eaborately and handsomely carved, and to it belongs, possibly, the oldest history of any piece of furniture in Salem. It seems that one John Cogs- well came over here from the mother country in 1885, crossing the ocean in the good ship. Angel Gallriel, who was the same craft that brought Sir Walter Raleigh to Guiana, South America, in 161S on his second and last voyage. John Cogswell embarked with his wife, eight children and household good-among the last this chair-for settlement in this country A frightful storm off the coast of Maine, where by mistake they had drifted. caused a total wreck of the ves- sel. MT. Cogswell and family, and what furniture there was preserved, were car ried to the shore at Pemquid Me, where the family spread tent, and remained until the next week. They then took passage to Boston and settled at lpsw1ck, Mass. This chair descended in the family until it came to Mir Waters, the present owner.
 Once upon a time, there lived in Salem, a merchant of great wealth and renown, MT Joseph Ward. General George Washington, during a visit to Salem, spent night at the home of MT. Ward, and slept In the northeast chamber of the fine brick house. Among the furn- ishings of this room were several beauti- ful Hepplewhlte chairs. One of these chairs-said to be the chair in which Washington sat to record his impressions of Salem in his diary-is now treasured in one of the citys noted homes. 1t was while on this visit that Washington wrote of the women of Salem: "I have seen at least 100 handsome and we'll dressed ladies, a greater portion of them having much blacker hair than is seen In the south.
 In the home of MT. Daniel Low, in Es- sex street, the old Cabot house where Mrs Joseph H. Chamberlain made her home as Miss Endicott, stands Dutch chair of bandy legs and beautiful propor- tions. This chair is more than 250 years old, and has descended from the first Low in America, who settled at Essex, Mass, and among whose descendants is eX- Mayor Seth Low of New York, to the present owner.
