THE WOODMEN
SOCIAL
Very Pleasant Time Enjoyed by the
N. W. A. and the Royal Neighbors
Last Evening.

N. W. A. and the Royal Neighbors
Last Evening.
On Thursday night, Jan. IS, at the
Odd Fellows hall in this city, the
Woodmen gave a social session in
honor of 'the Royal Neighbors. At
an early hour large number had
assembled and after brief secret
session the doors were thrown open
and Venerable Counsel Turner gave
an address of welcome to what he
termed :Our better seven-eighths."
The Royal Neighbors, under the
leadership of Mrs. Stacey, gave an ex-
hibition of their floor drill that won
the admiration and plaudits of all
present. Then came the address of
State Lecturer Hon. r. D. Casey of
Grafton, N. D., which was brief, to the
point and approved by all.
This was followed by social hon
and at midnight refreshments were
served.
Messrs Robt. Spriggs, Jas. Coulter
and B. B. Jackson, the committee on
entertainment, won the praise of all
for their well-laid plans to entertain.
There were some present who seem
to forget that these sessions are only
for those who are members and their
intimate friends whom they choose to
invite-to a limited number. 1t is
rumored that in the future, if this be
repeated as frequently as in the past,
some few will be invited outside,
Why any intelligent person should SO
far forget himself as to foist himself
upon these private social functions is
mystery that will be solved If re-
peated.
Moral: Join the Modern Woodmen
If you wish to partake of their hos
pitality.

nous Phases Of Life on the Road.

G. e. Lazier, one of the popular
knights of the grip who travels out of
Grand Forks, had an unusual expert
ence recently, even for one of the fra
ternity.a The man who travels in
North Dakota in the winter time, es-
pecially In the newer regions, is ac-
customed to undergoing all sorts Of
hardships, but Mr.. Lazier had more
than his share one morning before
breakfast time.
He was to leave the new town on
the 500, Adams, in the morning. The
broncoes were attached to a buggy box
on runners in the barn and the doors
thrown open. The animals were not
pleased with the prospects of an early
morning drive and proceed to balk and
buck. They soon bucked the harness
into chaos and demoralized the rig.
A new harness was secured and a
start made.
Before break of day Mr.. Lazier no.
ttced that one end of the cross bar to
which the pole was attached and onto
which the runners were fastened was
loose. 1t was Hopping up and down
and as 1t was not convent to make q
stop with, the broncoes then they did
not want to stop, he suggested a slow
ing down and getting out on the front
part of the bob, proceed to tie up
the broken cross bar with halter.
Just as he begun operations, the bron-
Goes jumped and jerked the driver out
of the rig. They caught Mr.. Lazier on
the front of the buggy box with his
legs dangling on the ground in front
of the rapidly moving sleigh. His po-
sition was precarious and called for
something more strenuous than diplo-
macy; his feet were making long
tracks on the rapidly receding road
while the buggy box was making
canals across his back; he was in i'm
mediate danger of being dragged un-
der the rig and badly hurt. BY hard
work and much wiggling Mr.. Lazier
( managed to get back into the sleigh,
and pull the broncoes OFF into the snow
and stop them.
GLE After arousing a farmer and his
family from their early morning slum-
bers, the sleigh was mended and the
journey resumed to Lankin. Again
the broncoes ran away but they were
kept In the road and had their fill of
running. Mr.. Lazier made good time
to Pisek the end of the adventurous
journey in spite of mishaps.

For Accommodations For Grand Forks

~ d. t.
The annual reunion of the B. p. O.
e. to be held in Denver early in July
this year, will draw large crowds Of
the antlered tribe to that beautiful
city. Great preparations are being
made to make it a unique celebration.
More than 100000 has been raised by
the city for the entertainment of the
visitors and a committee in charge Of
the matter, is experimenting the
planting Of purple flowers and shrub
cry. All lawns will be made to look
as purple as possible and ported flow
ers will be gEpwn which are of pur-
pie hue, all shrubery and flowers as
far as possible in the city parks and
private grounds will be purple, in hon
or of the visitors. The decorations of
the city will also partake of the color
scheme which honors the cOlors of the
lodge.
North Dakota will endeavor to send
a trainload of men to this reunion.
The matter is being discussed by the
local lodge and other lodges over the
state and some organized effort will
be made to secure enough members
of the order next July to run North
Dakota train. 1t is possible that
Grand Forks will run a train of its
own as they did to st. Louis.

EYESIGHT AND
HEARING

OF Pupils In Public Schools to Be
Carefully Examined Upon Orders
Of State Superintendent of School
and Secretary Healy-Circular Be.
ing Sent Out.
Something like year ago DR.. H. H.
Healy, secretary of the state board of
health, acting in harmony with State
Superintendent of Schools Stockwell,
tnaugurated plan by Winch the pu-
pills In the public schools of the state
might be subject to an examination
to discover whether or not they were
afflicted with impaired sight or hear
ing.
A meeting was held and the plans
outlined along the lines of similar ex-
aminations conducted in other states.
The move had the hearty endorsement
of those interested in education and
has been productive of good results.
DR.. Healy is issuing another circular
to county superintendent today urg-
Ing them to act upon the request of
the state board of health in the mat
ter, as follows:
Grand Forks, N. D., Jan. 10, 1906.
County Superintendent of Schools:
Some time ago you received circu-
lar letter from Mr. w. L. Stockweil,
superintendent of public instruction,
calling your attention to the request of
the state board of health that, so far
as possible. all school children in the
state be examined to ascertain the
condition of their sight and hearing
AS yet, we have had very few replies.
This board, and I believe most Of the
educators. agree that the examination
rs certainly a wise thing to make, as
there Is no question but that many
there is no question but that many APP
parentiy dull pupils are SO, merely be-
Ct Or no., W.T.
Many OF the cases, if treated early. are
entirely durable. and even the worst
cases can usually be greatly benefited;
SO that 1T is very unfortunate for the
child to be neglected.
We know that the teachers time is
already crowded by other school mat
ters which perhaps you may consider
you to crowd in this one extra piece Of
work, which really will not take very
long. The plan originally was to have
each teacher make the examination Of
ms pupils and report. to his principal
or county superintendent Of schools,
VINO would send a summary of all re-
ports in his jurisdiction to the state
superintendent of public health; but If
you wish, you may have them report
directly to'this office.
we Will send under separate cover
some blanks for reporting, also copy
or a paper written last year by Dr.
Beaudoux on the subject. If you can
use more blanks, please let us know
and we will send them to you, and If
you need any more test charts, we have
rev left over. and can spare you two
or three. Yours truly,

We Are Not Patrlotle.

q D. -
Prof. !Squires roasted the Americans
for not standing at attention when the
national anthem, Star Spangled Ban
ner" Is played. He says we are the
only people on earth who have not the
band strikes up the national air. The
Star Spangled Banner has been rec
ognized for long time as the ma
ttonal air but it was formerly adopted
as such by the army and navy three
years ago. It was written In 1914
during the bombardment of Fort Nc
Henry in Chesapeake bay, shortly
after Washington had been cap
tured and burned. The English were
DESTROYS of siezing Baltimore and
made an attempt to reduce Fort Nc
Henry. DIR. Beans, a Baltimore physi-
clan, had been siezed and held as a
suspicious character. Francis Scott
Kay. a lawyer of the same city, went
into the English lines to convince the
commander that he was holding DR..
Beans contrary to the usages of war.
He, was detained on the flagship of
Admiral Cockburn until after the fight
of Fort McHenry in order that he
might not carry back information.
The two Americans were on vessel a
short distance removed from the line
of battle during the bombardment
Their feeling can be imagined; the
feet of the enemy was trying to seize
and burn their city and probably their
homes; many people would be killed
and possibly their families. Fort Nc
Henry was weak and it was doubtful
If 1t could Withstand the English fire.
All through the night they paced the
deck and watched for the flag of Fort
McHenry by the cannon flashes. Near
dawn the fire ceased and they were in
despair, the fort must surely have
fallen. But the English fleet begun to
. drop down stream and as the day be-
gun to dawn they strained their eyes
to catch glimpse of the flag. AS it
became distinguishable, Mr.. Key took
out an old envelope and wrote the
immortal song.
America Written for Sunday school
t, Picnic.
America was written in 1885 by
student, Samuel Smith, to be sung at
a Sunday school picnic of the Park
Congregational church on the Boston
commons. 1t was sung to the air of
God Save the King.
Prof. Squires also told of the in
ctdent, and recited the ballad describ-
ing 1t of how Dork Deckers of the
Guerrarre which was captured in the
war of 1872 by Capt Hull in the Con-
stitution, wagered his hat before war
began that IL the two boats were met
In battle that he would sink the Con-
stituion and how Capt Hull reminded
him OF 1t and took not his sword when
he surrendered, but his hat.

NO CHANGES.
ARE MADE
The Much Mooted New Time Card Of
the Great Northern Arrives This
Morning Changes Made in Run.
ming Time Of Grand Forks Trains.

The new Great Northern time cards
arrived this morning and after all the
agony of the press, it does not affect
the running time of single Grand
Forks train. The first cards made by
the trainmen running into Grand
Forks and tipped OF to the local pa
pers, had time card printed and all
sorts Of changes made. Three and
Four, running by Grand Forks, etc.
1t was then called off-by grapevine.
The fact of the matter is that the
arrival of the big bales of time cards
this morning at division headquarters
was the first official communication
relative to the time cards received
here. A most careful purusal of 1t
does not show change in any of the
trains running out of Grand Forks.
There is slight change in and
4, which run via Larimore. Three
reaches Larimore at 1920 a. m. in
stead of sos a. m. Four gets in at
1885 a. m. instead of 1925 D. m.
The new time card will go into eff
feet on Sunday morning, Jan. 81, at
1901 O'Clock.

LECTuRE
Prof. Vernon 2. squires Tells Of the
Origin 81 American War and Patrio.
tie Songs.

~ ~ ASVAASSs is .lsti wv.
Last evening Prof. Vernon p.
Squires Of the chair of English of the
university, delivered his lecture in the
practical talks course at the Y. M. C..
A. building to small audiance. The
subject was war Songs" or more
. appropriately American patriotic
songs, and 1t should have been heard
by every man women and child in
Grand Forks. 1t was stirring lesson
IN patriotism. Prof. Squires is an in
teresting speaker asSwell as an ac-
complished reader and his readings of
the different songs and ballads, was
one of the pleasant features of the en-
tertainment.
Prof. Squires called attention to the
fact that patriot and war songs were
not usually great literary productions,
On the contrary, they were the express
sion of the masses as caught by some
man who gave himself to an inter-
probation of their emotions rather
! than the artistic expression of his own
sentiment. This must necessarily be
so az the masses are not trained to
the appreciation of literary cprrest-
ness any more than they are trained
to love classical music. To be popu-
( lar song, must be one the doggerel
order.
Origin Of Yankee Doodle.
The Oldest and probably the worst
bit of doggerel in the collection is Yam
kee Doodle. Thas silly. little ditty orig
mated as far back as 1855, 1870 years
ago. The occasion was the assembling
of the New York and New England
militia at Albany in conjunction with
the British regulars for movement
against the French Indians by way
of Lake Champlain during the French
and Indian war. The Yankee boys
came to the rendezvous in uncouth
clothes and mounted on any kind of
a pillow horse they could get This
amused the British regulars with their
rich uniforms and handsome mounts
and one of them, DR.. Shultberg, wrote
the dity which has become immortal.
Yankee Doodle was the poor Amer
lean farmer boy who came to town
riding his old plug of horse. The
term "macroni" was used in the sense
that we use the term dude" FASH
ions at that time largely originated in
Italy and .'macroni" was one who
aped the Italian fashions, therefore a
dude. AS these uncouth Yankee boys
eamea to Albany they tried to spruce
up their martial appearance by rob-
bling ROSTERS of feathers and sticking
them in their hats. "He sticks a
feather in his hat and called it mac
roni.'
