something wrong somewhere"

"This idea Of a woman taking her
former name and hyphenating it with
that of her husband after she has Sc
cured a divorce occasionally has an
amusing result" remarked a Chicago
man Sunday at the Dacotah.
Il had girl friend in Indianapolis
who's name was Rose Wood and she
married a man by the name of Shed.
Well they lived together for about
three years and as everything did not
go smoothly she secured a divorce. AS
soon as she did SO she changed her
name to read Mrs. Rose Wood Shed.
Now can you imagine a rosewood
shed or 'wooished' that suggests
sroses?
do you know, that the girl had to
stand for SO many puns on her name
and she was teased about it so un-
mercifully that she finally had her
visiting cards changed to read Mrs.
Rose w. She'd and instructed all her
Niends never to mention or introduce
her by the name of Rose Wood Shed.

Some time ago in New York City a
man was awakened at night to find his
wife weeping uncontrollably, says
Harper's.

had such horrible dream"
Her husband begged her to tell it to
him in order that he might comfort
her. After long persuasion. she was
induced to say this:

Broadway and came to a warehouse
where there was large placard,

THE EXPENSE
Of Commercial Club Not to
Exceed $40 Per
Capita.

Secretary Barnes, who was appoint
ed to audit the expenses of the Com
mercial club trip, has about completed
his work and the results are very sat
isfactory. The minimum set by the
committee at first, not including the
band, was SOS per man and it now ap-
pears that the entire expense, includ-
ing the band, will not exceed $40 each.
The band itself cost the club about
$3.50. including board, railroad fare
and money paid some of its members
who were not able to take in the trip
unless remunerated. Many of the
band members received no pay for
their services but furnished the same
gratis.
President Lander states he is of the
opinion that the trip will bring good
results, both to those towns visited
and to Grand Forks itself.

ting.
"A certain young man of Grand
Forks had been hearing sweet girl
voice in the telephone when he called
up. The voice sounded SO pleasant on
his ears that he used to chat quite
freely with her and an attachment
sprung up. On voice he builded an
idol, and It was agreed between them
that they should meet one day and 60
to see the Picketts play a game Of
ball. He was to wear red carnation
in the right lapel on his coat and she
was to wear a white one in the left
buttonhole of her cloak. BY these
sings they were to know each other.
They met, but never spoke. She
saw a youth with a complexion Of a
mummy and he saw a woman who
would weigh 210 pounds. Both retired
in excellent order, but it seemed to be
mutually understood that there was

FUTURE OF JAPAN.
Her Greatest Hope of National Sue.
cess Lies In Her Reliance on
tho UPlain PeOnle.0

Charles Edward Russell prophesies
as follows of Japan in Everybody's
Magazine:
"Of their strange experiments the
Japanese may make absolute disaster.
When the strain begins to their prodi-
gious war; expenditures their whole
house, may fall upon their heads. But
at least nothing so far in their career
indicates such result as probable.
For as caste wakes with us it
wanes in Japan. AS the democratic
ideals fade with us they become
stronger in Japan. The measure of
any nations strength is the measure
of it's democracy. The rise of Japan
has kept exact pace with the rise of
her plain people that work their hands
and have no rank and no station. the
people that in all lands and all times
are the sole source of power and pro-
gress."

Special TO The Evening Times.
Devils Lake. N. D., Aug. 27.-Within
a few weeks the Great Northern will
be running trains on its extension be-
tween Aneta and Devils Lake. The
work is being rapidly pushed and will
be complete within six weeks at the
furthest.
The Commercial club has purchased
a large tract of land conveniently To-
Gated and will erect houses for the
accommodation of the employees of
the company's new shops, which are
to be the largest on the system be-
tween the twin cities and Seattle.
The company has found it necessary
to pay exceptionally high wages to get
the work on the extension done. 1t
has had to compete with farmers, who
were offering big inducements to rail-
road laborers to abandon their work
and go into the harvest fields.
1t Is said that at least 400 men will
be brought here to work in the new
shops, and it is estimated that this
means an addition of at least 1000 to
the present population of the city.
