house contentedly chewing straw.
waiting for any one?" asked the
officer, suspiciously.
Yep" resopnded the old man in
confidence, Il am waitin' for the
scientist to get back"
What scientist?"
why, the one with my $40 bill. He
slapped me on the back and told me
that thar be seventeen different crawl
ing germs on every $40 bill. He said
If I'd let him have a $40 bill a few
minutes he would take it down to the
arc light around the corner and stick
a pin through each germ SO could
see them with my own eyes. He's
been gone about half an hour, but I
reckon it takes him quite a little
while, cause them germs are pesky
small to see."
And the old farmer settled himself
comfortably to await the return of
the scientist"

Only Too Well Satisfied.

The husband who is always growing
over everything from his meals to his
laundry looked up from his paper and
remarked sulkily:
Madam, I see where Chicago man
went from home, remained thirty
years and then returned and gave his
wife $5,000.s If you don't do better you
may find me doing the same trick some
day."
The patient little wife looked up
from her sewing and replied sweet
ly:
"All right, James, but if you will
only remain away the thirty years
you needn't.trouble yourself about the
$1,000" And after that he stopped

New York, Sept 15.--Announcement
of the death of Daniel O'Day vice
president of this company which is one
of the many standard oil subsidiary
concerns with which Mr.. O'Day was

John D. Rockefeller and of the Rookie
Teller family. He was connected with.
the Standard Oil company and it's af-
MATED companies almost since the
company's inception.

not idle talk but that Senator Hans
brOugh can be depended upon to put
forth his best efforts in behalf of MinOt
in nm endeavOr to secure the coveted
federal building.
The tOastmaster next introduced Ex-
Governor !. NJ. Devine, who responded
to the toast, 1.-THE Nations Great Men,"
Governor Devine's response was In
the nature OF Il masterful Grafton and
he told the story of the great men of
the nation in most eloquent and
forceful manner. He spoke at some
length and covered the subject as
signed him as only student of history,
a man of affairs, and one having rare
descriptive and oratorical powers
could do.
The last speaker was Mr.. Alfred
Blaisdell, the republican candidate for
secretary of state, and the toast as
signed him was that Of Ward County"
The speaker was brief and did not at
tempt to cover the subject owing to the
limited time at his disposal. He spoke
of the rapid and substantial develop
ment of the county as he had noted 1t
in the few years of his residence here,
and expressed belief in the ultimate
superiority of imperial Ward county
over all.
At the close of Mr.. Blaisdell's re-
marks, Toastmaster Davis sounded
taps" and the guests repaired to their
homes we'll satisfied that the evening
had been pleasantly and profitably
spent. ~
Great credit is due the Commercial
club of Minot for the success of their
snlendid reception given to Senator
Hansbrough, and the fact that the
senator placed himself on record as
fayoring and promising to unqualified
" support the move for the securing
of a federal building for this city,
should amply repay them for the effort
put forth to make this occasion one
never excelled by any city in the state
in an attempt to entertain an honored
guest.

audience. Three men hurled the inter-
rupter a few yards, and others hustled
him into the street. A friend who had
been at the meeting came upon him
later in the day. What did Mr.. Glad
stone say in 1922" asked the friend.

cused by some of his fellow democrats
of being and doing various reprehen-
sible things.-in fact. their remarks

rotten affair, fit for the scrap pile.
The old thing has been creased. some
loose places frightened up, and it is
expected to go through the motions

One thing should not be forgotten.
The country weekly is giving its read
ers the largest value for their money
OF any class of periodicals published.
They are the papers read around the
evening fireside and the ones which
most closely touch the activities of
our lives. They should be supported
by the public. not as objects of char
ity, but as business institutions which
are reflective of the spirit of the COM
munity in which they exist.

The Talk Of the Day.
The following dialogue. translated
from Il German paper, shows that in
Europe the holiday season brings its
woes and worries:
We'll. and have you spent a pleas
ant holi,iay?"
Yes. thanks. Don't look as il l
had?"
Indeed you do. have never seen
YOU look more fit. Not everybody
profits by the holiday tour as you have

Good cooking?"
Excellent. You could get ANYTHING
you wished for.''
Pleasant company
Delightful people. And, best of all,
no formalities. We could do exact
ly as We liked"

Lincoln and the Vegetarian.
Linton Park. who is now an inmate
OF the soldiers and sailors home at
Erie. Pa. was among those who joined
in the chorus: I'VE are coming, Faith
er Abraham, three hundred thousand
more" He enlisted at Washington,
and was assigned to the second dis
trict of Columbia regiment.
MIR. Park was then, as now, a vege-
tartan. While he could assimilate
everything connected with his ans
wer to the call of duty from the stand
of patriotism, he could not assimilate
the army pork. 1t was plain that If
the government wished to do the
square thing by Mr.. Park it would
have to show broad mindedness in the
matter of rations.
So he took his troubles to President
Lincoln. and explained that in some
respects he was like the children of
Israel after they set out from Egypt
He could not forget the leeks and
onions with which he was wont to
regale himself back in Indiana coun-
ty.
Lincoln smiled. you want me to
turn you out to grass like Nebuchad-
nezzer?" he asked.
1T would beat salt pork" was Mr..
Parks reply. Thereupon Mr.. Lincoln
wrote carelessly on an ordinary sheet
of paper:
The bearer, Linton Park, is here
with granted permission to browse
wherever he chooses"
Mr. Park sa wthe humOr in the note
and enjoyed it quite as much as Lin
coin did. He also enjoyed his priv
ilge of browsing" The note is still
In his possession.

Parsifal In English.

One OF tne most STRIKING scenes 10
be witnessed in the many presented in
the forthcoming production of Par
sifal" is the Transformation of the
magician, Klingsor's, castle to the mag
nificent flower garden vision of beauty
and enhancement. Kundry has been
summoned by Klingsor to appear in
his magic castle. but hesitates to COM
ply with his commands, being fearful
of his power and designs. BY use of
his necromantic acts and his compact
with the evil one, Kundry is compelled
to bend to his will and appear in his
wizard-like den in volume of blue
vapor. He sets her the task of en-
comprising the destruction of Parsifal
through her seductive methods, and
strive as she may against the odious
task, she is constrained to obey his
behests. With a shrek of despair and
horror Kundry disappears as she
came. Klingsor, gloating over his
victim, continues in his weird and UNI
canny lamentations. OF sudden, the
scene vanishes, and in its place is
brought to view the wondrously beau
tiful flower garden with its tropical
and variegated foliage and flowers and
its denizens of surprising loveliness,
the Flower Maidens. Owing to the un-
usual length of the performance, the
curtain will rise on the first act
promptly at p. M, Friday, Sept. 81.
There are four acts, each one of which
requires about forty minutes for it's
enactment. The intermissions are
comparatively short and the final cur
tain falls at II o'clock.

although old in title, has as each sue

conclusively its right to the claim that
1t presents yearly larger amount of
new special and exclusive features,
novelties, etc., than any like attraction.
Manager Yale announces that the
present season marks the 25th edition
of this phenomenal show-piece. and
that 1t is better, larger and more en-
Pertaining than ever.
