NIMBLE WIT OF A PORTER.

Why He Went to Sleep.

Among the railroad visitors in town
recently was F. A. Miller, general pas
senger agent of the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & st. Paul railway. He visited
all Of the general offices in town and
at the HOllenden hotel told a story
of one of the sleeping car porters who
was recently found asleep while on
duty. This is contrary TO the rules Of
the ST. Paul road and the negro man
was in trouble when found by the in
spector on the Pioneer Limited. He
had his wits about him, however, and
in response to the inspectors inquiry
as to what he was doing asleep, he
said:

Sitting Bulls Hatchet.

w. B. Wrangham was exhibiting a
relic of Sitting Bulls in town Saturday,
in the shape of small hatchet. He
said the weapon belonged to his daugh-
ter, Mrs. Olive Mitchell, who recently
moved here from Hazelton and is maxi
ing her home with her parents. Her
late husband, she says, took the hatchet
from underneath the big warrior, just
after he fell fatally at the hands of the
government soldiers in his shack near
Fort Yates about dozen years ago.
The piece is nothing out Of the ordinary
of old-time hatchets. The only re-
markable thing about it is the fact that
fifteen notches have been cut in the
back part of the steel, showing how
many men the old chief had scalped
during his lifetime. Mrs. Mitchell has
two children and they make plaything
of the relic.

In a Wonan's Power.

The poet says: IA rose under any
other name would smell as sweet
and possibly that powerful melodramic
play, In a Woman's Power" under
any other title would please as well and
pack the houses nightly. But there is
doubt. And in that doubt lies the
safety Of the rose, for it will continue
to rank first among the many flowers
Of the world. This is equally true of
''In a Woman's Power. /" The public saw
it for the first time last season and it
made lasting impression. It was as
welcome and refreshing as a summer
rose-pure in thought, wholesome in
dialogue, and presented ty selected
company of well known artists. No
wonder Elm a Woman's Power" has be-
come a household word, for it is one of
the few melodramic productions that
leaves behind a refreshing atmosphere.
The amusement loving public will have
a chance to pass on the merits Of ''In a
Woman's Power" at the Oakes opera
house, Friday, October 26th. Manager
Bittman is SO thoroughly convinced of
the greatness Of this play that he per-
sonally endorses it.

maple Vailey, wednesday.
Dear Jim: It's always strange ton
that the old Israelites had to have ten
commandments, and that all the years
after, when the world was more
wicked than ever, Christ summed up
all the ten in two. But now when I
read this lesson again, and see Christ
showing the scribe how big the two
commandments are. I don't really see
that any more are needed. I wonder
why the scribe was mot far" from the
kingdom of God, instead Of right in it.
I guess just knowing the command
ments is a mighty poor place to stop on
the way to salvation; doing them is the
real test.
Your pa and I have been talking
about these two commandments all this
week, and we've been trying just to
find in each day some question of our
lives that wouldn't come under one of
these commandments. So far we have
not found any. In our simple way Of
living we don't have many bothersome
things to decide, but each thing has
just come under either our relation to
God or our relation to our neighbors.
And the longer we look at these two
commandments the bigger they get.
They got so big last night that I was
just ready to give up trying to keep
them; and then there came over me
that wonderful verse, ''Not by might,
nor by power, but by my Spirit, said
Jehovah of hosts" That's enough, af-
ter all, Jim; He never laid down COM
mandment that is too big for me to
keep-when He is back of me.
Now l reckon about all the people
will talk about that widows mite next
Sunday. So many folks get heap of
comfort out of that Widows mite, for
they seem to think that's a true picture
of themselves. I tell you, Jim, that
the widow hasn't got any too many
followers in these days, leastwise not
in these comfortable churches here at
home. For if we're downright honest
with ourselves we surely know how lit
tie we give our ''need." All the
others gave what they could spare; she
gave what she couldn't spare. After
all, that's the : kind Of giving that
brings blessing. Your pa and have
been talking about this, too, and we're
not going to stop giving after this till
! it really hurts some. We think that il
what Christ wants.
Next time you write I wish yor
wouldtell me more about your visiting
on Wednesday afternoons. ST

type, local theatre -goers will find inter-
est in the announcement that one of
the best of them, "A Daughter of Col

Mabel Pearson especially for Miss

leading role.
cover Niagara Falls, Rowland &
Clifford's thrilling melodrama, will be
presented at the opera house on Satur-
day, Oct. 18th. The play and the COM
pany presenting it are among the best
seen in melodrama for some time past,
contains plenty of comedy, pathos,
and has some mechanical and electrical
effects that are startling in the extreme.
