has followed it and the great mass of

HAS NO MILLIONAIRES.

The fact that North Dakota has no
millionaires and few paupers COM
mends it to the man of ordinary means
as the best possible place in the coun-
try in which to fix his habitation. The
development of millionaire class in
dicates the transpiring of the wealth
of one to another without the advant-
age of value received. In other words
it means the requirement of wealth
by speculative means. There has been
nothing of that character in the wealth
which has come to the people of this
state, except that her natural store
houses have been opened and all have
shared in a measure alike.
The great food supply which lay
dormant in the soil was transformed
into the wheat of commerce, and a de-
mand which was already pressing the
world for supply was met. There has
been need for every bushel of wheat
grown in North Dakota. The world
has taken it for food. But the hungry
have not been oppressed in order to
secure a price which has made the
grain growers rich.
The equal opportunities for all has
made it impossible for one to acquire
wealth at the expense of another un-
less the power which caused it were
energy and diligence, both of which
are commendable qualities in the
battle of life. The man of ordinary
means has been the one who to a
large extent has become the recipients
of natures bounty in this state. He
has needed nothing but a portion of
the soil which he could obtain for
small amount of wealth, Drawn and
energy to carve out of the soil a
fortune in a few years.
1t 10 no wonder that so many peo-
pie who saw no hope for the future
have been drawn to.this state and have
gathered around them in few years
sufficient of this worlds goods to en-
able them to live in comparative
luxury during the autumn of life.
They had the energy and the state
afforded them the opportunity of US
ing it. There is no need of paupers
and fSbm this universally prosperous
class have developed no millionaires
by the usual methods by which they
become such. 1t is the home of the
man in ordinary circumstances.

BRYANs LEADERSHIP.

William Jennings Bryan was ac-
corded reception upon his arrival
in New York yesterday from tour
OF the world, the. like of which has
never been received by any man in
public life in the history of the ma
ton. And were it not possible to
look beneath the surface and see the
political purpose which was SO poorly
covered by the veneer of patriotism,
it might well cause the people of the
nation to pause and consider deeply
the relation which the acknowledged
commoner bears to the political life of
the nation.
But the homecoming was planned
and carried out largely for political
effect. The democracy is looking to
the Nebraskan prairies for the Moses
who shall deliver them out. of their
bondage. They have lost the cloud
by day and the pillar of fire by night.
There is one remarkable characteristic
about Mr.. Bryan. He can arouse en-
thusiasm. That is just what the demo-
cracy wants at this time. Given the
occasion, the silver tongued orator
can find the theme and obtain the
desired result.
The preliminary work was done on
the other side Of the water, and the
reception at New York was merely
the climax. Mr.. Bryan may not have
been responsible personally for the
arrangement, but those of his friends
who are managing the campaign for
his nomination for the presidency two
years hence certainly were. With the
results of these studied plans deducted
from the reception, large percentage
of the event would have been destroy

Man About Toyn

One of the most interesting persons
to chat with Is marriage license
clerk. 'iAll the world loves lover,'
they say, and naturally we are inter-
ested in the affairs Of sweet young
couples. However, my informant says
that young couples brave the ordeal Of
getting licenses much better than older;
ones. and he told me this story, which
has two distinct features.
One day there appeared before him
man who seemed to be tottering un-
der the weight of years, and buxom
woman of about 49, The clerk hap
pened to know that the man was
wealthy. and he couldn't help think
ing that the woman was after the old
gentleman's fortune. When the couple
lined up in front of the desk the man
was speechless. Finally the clerk
asked him: What can do for you?"
No answer. do you want license
to marry?" was the clerks next ques-
ton but the silence of the aged man
continued. Then the clerk turned to
the woman. why, certainly" she re-
piled, I'VE want license-think we
came here to buy farm?" This en-
couraged the aged man, and he said,
Go ahead"
Sometimes" said the clerk, "old
couples will endeavor to conceal their
age. Nevertheless, when they dis
cover that they are being put under
oath, they Tess up. One man gave
me his age as 6S, and the woman said
abe was S.
"After had asked all the questions
and told them to stand up to be sworn
to their answers l noticed that both
seemed greatly confused. Finally the
man blurted out: Put my age down
as a. And mine &C., added the
woman"
another observation l have made"
continued my interesting friend, the
marriage license clerk, "is that women
are frequently drawer when it comes
to getting license than men. l re-
call that on one occasion the man was
little more than a bashful youth. He
was SO bashful that l wondered how
he had ever got up courage to pro-
pose to the bright, vivacious young
woman who was standing beside him.
The youth seemed to be stricken dumb,
and the girl looked at him, inquiring-
ly for moment. then, when she saw
that was looking at them closely,
she said impatiently, but firmly,
George. II you don't get busy at once.
it's all OFF,
II never saw anyone get buster than
George from that moment" said the:
clerk. why, could hardly write fast
enough to suit him. And when the
couple was leaving the Office couldn't
help overhearing the girl say, You al
most lost me. didn't you, George, dear?'
"But Georges bashful spell had been
broken and he responded, us for the
preacher at once!'

THE SHYSTERS.

One OF the important matters dis
cussed at the recent meeting of the
American Bar association was that of
riding the legal profession of what
are aptly termed shysters. They CON-
prise that class of men who have suf-
ficient brains to be lawyers but who
lack the moral integrity to be such.
They are the men who having the
knowledge Of the law sufficient to Sc
cure license to practice, use that
knowledge for the defrauding of those
who entrust their interests in their
hands.
The shyste: is the man who stands
in the hallway of the court room and
solicits the business of unsuspecting
clients whether they have a case or
not.
He will represent to the prospective
litigant that he has a good cause of
action and should institute a suit.
when in fact he knows that there is
no earthly chance Of winning.
He is the man who seeks the fee
regardless Of the truth of his profess
sional statements.
He is the man who will take the
last penny of the unfortunate and
make spectacular play in an attempt
to win case he knew in the begin
ming he could not win.
He is the man who has brought all
the stigma and reproach upon the legal
profession. From his actions the pub
lie has been forced to the conclusion
that lawyers are devoid of honor
and that the truth is foreign to their
code of morals. f.
That great majority of men of the
highest integrity and honor, whose
word with the court and opponent is
never violated, whose first aim in the
giving of advice is to disclose the law
as it applies to the matter in hand,
and without money will fight to the
last ditch in defense of. an innocent
man or righteous cause, are over
Swallowed by the dishonorable course
of the shyster
1t Is to be hoped that the American
Bar association will be able to reach
some plan by which this undesirable
and unwholesome element may be for
ever eliminated from the ranks of the
legal profession.

WILHELMINA'S BIRTHDAY.
I.sociatcd Press Gable to The Evening

Times.
The Hague, Aug. 31.-Queen Wilhel-
nina received the congratulations of
the foreign diplomats today'on the oc-
casien of her twenty-sixth birthday.
The observance of the anniversary was
quite general throughout Holland,
though the people have not yet recover
ed from the gloom cast over the. coun-
try by the recent announcement that
the joyful anticipation of the queen
of giving birth to an heir to the throne
had again been frustrated.
Queen Wilhelmina succeeded to the
throne on the death of her father in
1890, and was formally inaugurated
sovereign of the Netherlands on Sept.
6, 1898. On Feb. q, 1900, the young
Queen married Prince Henry of Meek
lenburg- Schwerin. On two previous
occasions her Majesty has been pre-
maturely confined namely, November,
1901, and September. 19O2-each time
the hopes of the country being disap-
pointed. Should the Queen die with
out offspring the House of Orange,
which has been associated with Hol-
land since the 18th century, will be-
come extinct.

theater goers will see for the first
time his wonderful illusion. "After
The Ball." This startling and mysti-
flying act has been proclaimed. where
ever it has been shown as the most
elaborate in the world of magic. The
stage is set as a ladies boulder and a
large mirror, such as is used there. is
wheeled in. A lady. returning from
a party steps before it to arrange her
hair. and at wave from the magician
wand, seemingly disappears in thin air.
The speed with which this illusion is
performed the utter absence of dark
stage, strings or black cloths make
this illusion stand out from all in the
repertoire of any magician.

When Hoke Was Called.

A reformed gambler, from Ohio,
came to Washington when Hoke Smith
was secretary of the interior, and told
the late Harry Merrick, then the bril-
liant Photographer on the Washington
Post. that he wanted job. He said
ne had forsaken all games of chance
and wanted chance to live an upright
life.
Merrick knew Hoke Smith very we'll
and took his reformed friend over to
the interior department to see if he
could get him a place. Smith was,
glad to see Merrick and welcomed his
friend cordially.
Merrick stated the case.
Smith listened attentively and then
said:
II will do what can for your friend,
MIR. Merrick. I will look into the
vacancies and see if ] can place him.
I would like. to give him place very
much"
All this time the reformed gambler
had been standing quietly. cycling the
secretary. After Smith had finished
he stepped forward and said:
Now see here, Hoke, old boy. Tell
me if this is right. If you kin give
me a job, femme know, but II you
can't. femme know, too, for l can't
afford no time to be stayin' here in
