Henry Smart, the English composer,
played Il fine organ In q London church,
and his recital after service attracted
much attention. But one morning aft
ter n selection from one Of Mozart's
masses a church warden came into the
organ loft and begged to inform Mr.,
Smart that they had decided that they
could not have such jiggy stuff played
in their church,"
every we'll, SIR" was the answer; at
shall be altered"
Next Sunday dirge-like sounds pro-
ceeded from the organ, and the warden
congratulated the player on the sol

sic. Il am glad you like it," answered
Mr.. Smart. DOUBTLESS II l play 1t a

BEulTTlING FREIGHT CHARGES.

In a press letter sent outby Nh. Curtis
L. Mosher, special representative of the
Northern Pacific railroad, the subject of
the ratio of freight charges to the cost
of goods is taken up, Mr.. Mosher says:
SIN the current agitation against the
railroads and the demand on the part of
certain sections of the country that the
government be given rate-making powers
there has been nc attempt to show Just
what proportion the present freight rate
bears in the cost of commodities to the
That has been left severely
alone by the advocates of government
regulation
The writer then takes up a number of
articles and considers the freight charges
on them. He points out that the cost of
carrying a pair of shoes, a suit o. clothes
or a hat i. intinitesimal and he closes
his article with the following:
ITO the man of family, the flour barrel
is of interest. He has learned from his
wife that in each barrel of -four approx
imately there are $50 loaves of bread.
The flour costs him, say S6.15, for a bar
rel weighing 200 pounds. Transporta-
ton charges for this barrel % cents.
Figured down to the actual amount add
ed to the cost of a loaf of bread, we find
that the so-called rate tax hasincreased
the cost Just .00OSS of one cent"
OF course MIR. Mosher need not have
confined his calculations to the articles
enumerated. They are used simply as
samples. He might have pointed out
that the freight on a square foot of
lumber, a cordwood stick or a scuttle of
coal is sc small that it can scarcely be
estimated, and no one would have dis
puted him. In the same manner it
might be argued that the question of a
five cent or a three cent street car fare is
too u~nlmportant to make any trouble
over. as the difference is only two cents,
and who cares for two cents? And why
should we care whether we get twenty
quarts of milk for a dollar or fifteen
when the difference per quart is but a
fraction of a cent, and figured on the
quantity which the baby consumes at a
mGdl II dlulOSL NdTtllSues. MI. VhOSleI
is correct in saying that no attempt has
been made to figure out these things
the reason is probably that no one cares
greatly about it.
What the national administration is
trying to accomplish is to devise such 6
system of traffic regulation that the
country will be given fair and just rates
without discrimination and without Ok
tortion. 1t is not likely that the people
of this country need to be told whether
freight rates are of any Importance tc
them or not. Most of them have opin,
ions on that subject, and the fact that
the freight on an infinitesimal portion OF
goods is intinitesimal is something that
they are not worrying over.

OVER the state the county superin-
tendents of schools are %admonishins
those expecting to apply for teachers
certificates to make preparation. AT
the last examination there were over
80 per cent of the applicants over
the state who failed to pass, arithmetic
and civil government proving to be the
principal stumbling blocks. After July
l. when the $40 minimum salary law
goes into effect, the department of in
s%truction will increase the qualifications
of second grade teachers. by grading
closer, giving severer tests, and requlr
ing higher percentages in all subjects
North Dakota is setting a high educa
tional standard, as can be seen by max
ing a comparison with other states.

The Devils Lake Chautauqua has af-
forded an opportunity for many of the
aspiring young people of the state to
make their bow to the public, and the
present season is no exception. Miss
Henrietta Honey, of Park River. will be
one of the platform entertainers at that
resort from July l to / inclusive. She is
a brilliant young woman possessed of un-
usual talents as an elocutionist and i'm
personator. The Chautauqua is always
on the lookout for talent of a high char
acter, and the fact that Miss Honey was
selected rather than a professional en-
tertainer speaks remarkably we'll of her
ability. She has a large circle of friends
in Walsh and adjoining counties who
will be present to see her make her bow
as a public entertainer. and give her an
enthusiastic reception when she appears
at Chautauqua. That she is on a pro
gram with men like Bryan, Day, Hawks,
Robertson and a score of others, is an
honor of which she may we'll feel proud.

The Public Drinking Gun.

When it is necessary to relieve ones
thirst abroad. if the cup be filled quite
full and placed to the mouth in such
a way that the rim will be about half
an inch below the under lip, one can
drink from the surface of the water.
In this way no part of the vessel, to
which some particles of poisonous mat
ter may still be cltnging, will touch the
delicate skin of the lip. 1t is hardly
necessary to add that the water which
adheres to the mouth and below the
lips should be removed by a handker-
chief and not by the tongue.

six of them. He has beer fined 500 for

No FARMS in the world, for produc-
tiveness and ease of cultivation, equal
those of North Dakota. The farmer up
in northern Wisconsin goes about his
blowing with one horse, patiently and
crudely as the ancient Egyptian, while
ever and amor his pillow digs into a stump,
his heels strike the ceiling of the sky,
and in two seconds of time he violates
all the ten commandments. In West
Virginia his brother of the soil 'gee-
haws" his life away along the mountain
sides and looks at his growing little
"nubbins' as affectionately as a farmer
boy does at his best girl; while out
here in Dakota the tiller of the soil rid
es his c%ultlvator, handles the ribbons of
his four-in-hand as d~exterously as a
master hand does the bow of a violin,
and settles in his mind in which bank he
shall deposit his accommodating thou
sands, or the shape the castle will as
sumo which he purposes building on
his half section.

II looks as though our Scandinavian
friends, Norway andSweden, had reach
ed the parting of the ways. Noway has
served notice on King Oscar that as he
has been unable to form a new ministry
for the country will try to get along with,
out him. 1t is altogether likely that the
Republic of Norway will soon be es-
tablished. AS might naturally be eN-
pected, the ancient monarchies of Eu.
rope frown and look coldly upon this
movement. AS in the cast of the French
republic, it sets an example that some
inconsiderate nation may be inclined tc
follow. We know little if anything OF
the actual cause of trouble between the
two nations, but it seems to us that sthe
great Republic-the United States OF

formation of another republic in the

offend deeply the sensibilities of kins

PUBLISHERS who use patent insides
are having trouble over the advertising

the class of reading matter which is run
as news, though it is really advertising
There is a feeling that the purchasers OF
these sheets are being worked for the
benefit of the patent houses and some OF
their corporate friends. The publisher
who can select his own advertising is
fortunate.
