i would rather be devil all in hellish
vileness spawned
And work up to godly goodness. step
by step. with yearning fond;
Than to be an angel perfect, sitting in
celestial state.
Blest with unearned glory given by
the blinded hand Of fate.
For there is no worth in being but
that which is self-attained.
And there's mOckGry but in honor not
by personal effort gained.
And without the good and evil by ex-
perience vitalizcd.
1 would be the merest puppet by an
imbecile devised.
No! Id strike my roots in being to its
uttermost extent.
And from out the vilest bottoms how'r
to blest accomplishment.
Y would lift from out its Krossness
like q star from out the night.
And loom forth by. self-earned power
to all comprehcnding light

not provided with cellars. much suf-

famine is the rapid growth of the city,
the population having increased more

Miss Frankenfield is a college girl
and from her early childhood and all
through her college life she was de-
termined to make the stage her life's
work, and finally adopted the stage
for her profession. Heretofore in Miss
Frankenfield's career, she has appear
ed in classic drama, and the change
this season to modern western and
society play, will be marked con-
trast
Checkers.
Checkers" will play an engage
ment of one night only at the Metro
politan theater next Monday, Septem-
Der IL. and such playgoers who do
not see the popular play will, if report
be reliable, miss treat. Checkers" is
not merely racing drama as it has
so frequently been described. 1t is a
slice of everyday life, humanized and
put upon the stage. The very ele-
ments of existence as it is seen on
the broad thoroughfares of the nation
are blended in Checkers" 1t shows
the idealism, the hopes, excitements
and frailitfes of life, and it shows them
without strain and yet in the clean.
unproblem like way, which makes the
performance something which every
BODY may see. "Give every man
square chance" President Roosevelt
wrote on New Years day. That is
what Checkers wants in the play. He
gets it and wins, to the we'll assumed
delight Of the other characters in the
play and the delectation of the people
on the other side of the footlights.

ParsifaI in English.
The Festival theater, located in the
Atlie lo~u OIL ba1feutn, bavaria,
which was dedicated by the immortal
Wagner for the representation of his
wonderful creations, including the
great spectacle of "Parsifal," is
large, rectangular building of red
brick. faced with white stone. 1t is as
unpretentious in appearance as it is
commodfous, and singularly adapted
for the purpose intended. The audi
forum is in the shape of gigantic
horse shoe, the seats gradually rising
from the stage to the rear of the
building. There is no balcony or gal
lery, except limited space at the ex-
IRENE end which is divided into boxes
and loges. These are used only for
the persons Of royalty. The seats are
large and comfortable and plainly
marked. There are no ushers to show
one to his place, but the seats are 80
arranged and SO many doors, which
are also plainly marked, open up to
the different aisles that one can read
lily find the seat called. for by their
ticket. The acoustic properties of the
theater and the facilities Of the large
and beautifully arranged stage are 20
perfect that the entire structure is
considered the most complete in Eu-
rope.

Bryan ought to be experienced
enough to know that abundance of en-

an election as votes. He has lived
through plenty of the former, but has
never been able to connect with a suf-

in the executive mansion.

The states attorney of Grand Forks
county might perform.a public service
by investigating the report-now ac-
cepted as an incontrovertible fact
that certain printing house in this
city has been paying another local
printing house $40 a year not to bid
on a particular class of county print
ing. This piece of rascality has been
going on for a matter of ten years.
The possibilities under such a system
are by no means small. Why should
the taxpayers of this county be looted
under it? Will the states attorney do
his duty?

The efficiency Of the late railroad
rate legislation is proven by the fact
that the Pennsylvania has. since the
law was passed, disposed of its stock
in the Baltimore & Ohio, which was
parallel line and which was seriously
hampered by the fact that the former
road which owned a majority of the
stock and SO fixed the rates so that
towns on the Baltimore & Ohio line
could not compete in shipping coal
with those on the Pennsylvania.

On Hot August Afternoons.

This hot weather." said a Cleveland
Baptist. reminds me of an address
! once heard John D. Rockefeller
make.
MIR. Rockefeller was speaking about
the value of little things spare min
utes. spare pennies. and SO on.
He told us how one of the littlest
things, in the human line. that he has
ever seen-a little new office boy-had
caused him. at the beginning of his ca
reer. to distrust bookkeeper who af-
terward turned out to be an untrust.
worthy man.
This boy had come to work in Mr..
Rockefeller's Office. He was a bright
little fellow, and the chief liked his
looks.
One hot August afternoon, as Mr..
Rockefeller was starting out to COL
lect bill. he said kindly to the little
boy:
81 suppose the bookkeeper has told
YOU what to do this afternoon
"'Yes. SIR the boy answered. L
am to wake him up when 1 see you
coming back"

Sweet Simplicity.


In the old days there was a professor
of psychology at Dartmouth who was
so abstruse that It Is doubtful II, at
times. he fully understood himself.
One day he was profounder than
usual. He lectured for nearly an hour
on topics away over in the back of
the book.
The class was dazed. 1t was far
above their heads and they did not
understand even the edges of 1t.
When he had finished. the old man
took out his watch and said genially:
Now. there are ten minutes of the
hour remaining. II any student de-
sires to ask me a question l shall
be glad to answer it to the best of
my ability.
The class sat in stupor. The pro-
lessor waited for time and then said:
lis there no one who has question
to ask? There are remaining several
minutes that could be probably en-
ployed."
Finally. one student put up a re-
luctant hand.
"Ah." said the professor, you have
a question. What is it," .
What time is it?" stammered the
student.

In the raids upon some of the dis
reputable resorts of st. Louis it was
found that much of the property &C.

women who hold high positions in the
social and business world and that they
collected heavy rentals, we'll knowing
what the property was used for.

birthday. was being congratulated by
some reporters at the Oriental hotel
at Manhattan beach.

He smiled.
Imagine" he said, how impressed

his family year after his marriage.
That was about 1880, and a few months
ago. taking up local paper in Chi

Stories of the Hour
Reportorial Repentance.

Wilbur Coyle, city librarian of Bal
timore. was a newspaper reporter be-
fore he went into politics.
He discovered at the close of his
first year in Office that it was neces-
sary to make a report. He examined
the reports of his predecessors. They
were long. dry. dusty productions,
giving many statistics and more de-
tails.
Coyle thought it over HIS news
paper instinct rebelled at this waste
of time and ink. So he wrote this
report:
ITO the Common Council:
Il have the honor to report that
this department of the city has left
undone during the past year only as
few as possible of the things we
should have done"
