Good Listeners.

In conversing with ones friends
nothing is so chilling as an apparent
lack of attention and sympathy. 1t
might be added that nothing is more
vulgar were not the listeners indiffer-
ence common to the majority of our
most cultured people. If when one
is addressed she will remember to in
cline the body slightly forward an at
titude of rapt attention will soon be
unconsciously assumed and, whether
really worthy of it or not, new recruits
gained for the always popular, as rare,
class known as good listeners"

In these days of strife between

must remember that after all we
are just a band of brothers here
on earth, travelling from the
cradle to the grave. We live side
by side, our children attend the
same school and after the smoke
of battle has cleared away, we
will still be friends and neigh
bers. Let the bitter things go
unsaid. At best, life is short
and we get out of it a full meas

little city live as one big. good
natured family.

FRUITFULNEss OF A
Outdoor Sports and Pastimes That
BENEFIT Both the Mind
:" and Body.

TO the eye of ono scoffer the ancient
sport Of golf is Chasing a quinine pill
around a ten-acre lot" Another is like
the small boy who watched a gray
haired man making a bad mess of put
ting" on a green which lay in a little hol-
low, exposed to all the heat Of a sum-
mer sun. and then asked the red-faced
and perspiring victim Of bad aim and
worse judgment of force: Mister, do
you get paid for doing that?" Yet golf
gives new health and life to many a man
at the time of life when such open-air
exercise and such novel contact with
mother earth mean moro than youth
can understand. says the Cleveland
Leader.
So to other eyes angling is inspired
idiocy. Does 1t not lead SAM and able
bodied men to stand or sit for hours
catching nothing, hoping against hope
that bites will come from the water in
stead Of from creepi: ,and flying things?
1t seems to many outside the charmed
circle OF the angle. to wrest geometry a
trifle silly to do nothing, hour after hour,
but watch and wait, and agitate a string
at the end of a pole. Yet how immeas-
urable the Joy and tonic Of fishing to
those who love to be lured away into the
enchanted wilds where nature hides her
secrets of refreshment and inspiration
for the sons of men.
1t is the same with unnumbered fadA.
The true test is not from without. Per-
sonal experience is what counts. The
only reliable evidence 10 given by the
taddtsts. They know what fads mean.
1t is a question Of inward light. The
outsider has no right to be dogmauc. He
simply cannot get the point of view. He
has a blind side turned that way. He
feels the essence Of his own fads, but
others like unto them might as we'll be In
another planet. for all they know of their
meaning. Fads are self-1ustifed. They
cannot be brought into court and tried
like law-breakers Without the fads
and the faddists the world would lack
half the life and zest of the human COM
edy.

PLAN TO EXCHANGE BABIES
Clearinghouse in Europe by Which
Different Nationalities Ar !
to Be Traded. ri

One Of the curious things run across tnI
Europe is the scheme OF a Frenchman
named Michael Breal, preached as long
ago AZ 1886, and which Is being again
taken up.
1t consists Of a wholesale exchange,
a swapping of children, from one family
to another, says a recent report.
Here Is a Partisan father in modest es-
tate, with a son. This man has an ambi-
ton that his child shall have a thorough
knowledge of German. The proper
thtne would be to place the child in some
German family for awhile. But the difi-
Guilty for the father is to discover just
the right sort of family--one who would
receive the child. n that he could trust
with the child, and, above all. one who
a a child to swap. The Partisan father
would be spending no extra money In
housing the German child and teaching
1t French, while his own was eating at a
German table. Meanwhile two nations
were understanding each other better.
1t was a splendid scheme. II only it could
be carried out
What was needed vas a baby broker,
az 1t were, an exchange. a clearing
house for children, an agency to keep
tab OF families willing to swap children
and to engineer the swap. M named
o. Matthew saw the chance, and i'm
proved it during the vacation period last
year. He had prejudices to overcome.
After a deal of letter writing he won the
indispensable. not to say inevitable,
sanction Of college professors, Of great
authors, prominent lawyers and men,
bers of parliament. He even succeeded
In placing an order Of five children on
trial. He devoted a whole year to
booming the enterprise. And it was
heart breaking work. He would win the
approval of a lot of English or German
or Scandinavian families. only to find
In his own land no readiness of trade.
And yet, In spite Of everything. he has
succeeded In a measure. The scheme Ia
working and Mr.. Matthew has decided
to found a society and push the idea for
all It is worth.
This society IL to be known by the
solemn title Of International Exchange
for Children in the Study OF Foreign
LANGUAGES and Customs" For honorary
president it is to have M. D'Estournelles
De Constant; for acting president. Pierre
Baldin former minister: for vice presi-
dents MN Firmery and Edouard Petit,
INSPECTOR general of public Instruction.
Matthew himself will serve as general
manager. with the backing of deputies
Of the chamber II necessary. Jules Sieg-
fried and a lot OF others will look after
the financing.
An elaborate system of correspondence
has been drawn up already. There is a
precautionary exchange Of photographs
hrst and a evere cross-examination Of
all concerned. The closing details of the
railroad journey. under suitable escorts
In the case of girls, are easily looked

SUMMER
With the return ofhot weather

with the return OF not Weather
everyone's thots naturally turn
to the best place to pass their
summer vacation. Residents of
North Dakota have the ideal re-
sort and the greatsfeature at
tached to it is thatit is compari-
lively inexpensive and at the
same time they can enjoy all
the comforts of home" From
year to year the desirability of
passing a few days or the entire
season of three weeks at Chau-
tauqua impresses itself more
and more upon those who are so
situated as to avail themselves of
the opportunity. Chautauqua
offers about everything that one
could desire. There is boating,
bathing and healthful, vigorous
exercise in any quantity one
wants. The visitor can enjoy
camp life in as primitive a man.
ner as he wishes, or he can live
at the hotel, or, better still, have
a cottage and make it as home
like and comfortable as any man
or woman could wish.
The season of 1906 will be the
best in the history of the Associ-
alton. Extra pains have been
taken with the program and en-
tertainments and attractiveness
of this feature is stronger than
ever before. Those who have
the Assembly in charge believe
that nothing is too good for the
visitors and for that very reason
no. pains or exense has been
spared to surpass all previous
years.
Excursions will be run from
all towns along the main line, and
every branch from Rugby tc
Grand Forks will have a special
day set aside for a special excur.
sion. These are so arranged thai
an early arrival on the grounds
is made, and the special does not
depart until after the evening
entertainment. Excursionists
can bring their lunch baskets.
or if they so desire, can secure
meals at one Of the excellent res
taurants on the grounds. The
charges are no more than at any
first class restaurant.
A complete program of every
days entertainment, with dates
of excursions and all information
can be secured by dropping
card to Edgar LaRue, Secretary
Devils Lake, N. Oak.
