Prairie Fire.

Reports have reached the city from
Thief River Falls of a prairie fire
which is raging in the vicinity of
Grygia and which threatens to wipe
out several small towns in that neigh
borhood. The settlers are fighting the
fire by every known means but the
flames, famed by yesterdays high
wind, are making Roadway against
every effort to stop them and it is
feared that great loss of property will
result.
There is lot of swamp grass in
this vicinity which grows in many
places waist high and there are thou
sands of acres of this high dead grass
which has not been burned over or
in any way disturbed for years. Cen
orally it is so wet from standing water
that it cannot burn but this year has
been exceptionally dry during the late
summer and early fall and the grass
is as dry as finder.

 Since it has always been believed that good maehinists must have a natural tal- ent to be able to develop the skill success fully. 1t makes this womans work all the more wonderful. None of the timldlty and fear that women have as a rule around machinery is seen in Mrs. Peters conduct in the shop. She pursues the work with confidence that is associated only with an expert knowledge of the business.
 Her husband. J. H. Peters, a stalwart young man of 30. said to the corre- spondent:
 My wife Is capable of taking charge of the business in case I should die She can do anything that l can do In tho shop"
 It must not be inferred because Mrs. Peters has proven her adaptabillty to such a calling that she is lacking in tho charms and accomplishments that go to grace womankind. The feminine side of her nature Is equally interesting.
 Her versatility also is shown in the fact that she Is a good cook and a neat housekeeper. She cooks all of the meals for her husband and herself. and Is at her post in the foundry each morning regularly by S3O o'clock, after the routine of her household duties has been attended to.
 Fancy work is a thing she enjoys, and she can turn out as neat piece of Bat tenberg at home as she can an engine shaft in the foundrY.

MISSIONARIES IN SYRIA.
American Influence Making Itself Felt in Industrial Development.

From the Washington Post
 American missionary efforts in Syria date back to the days of President Mon roe," was the remark made last evening at the Raleigh by C. B. Ravndall of South Dakota. United States consul-gen- eral at Beirut, Syria.
 For nearly a century" he continued, American missionaries have been oper- ating in the near east Originally the work of these American pioneers was purely religious. It soon broadened out into educa tional activity. With the twen- tieth century the American influence is making itself distinctly felt in the indus trial development of the lands on the far- ther shore of the Mediterranean.
 "In Beirut there is located an American university. which Is entirely nOn-sectarian and which was incorporated under the laws of the state of New York during Llncolns administration. It has already nearly 900 students from all parts of the Levant. including Egypt and Persia; some sixty professors and teachers, of whom about forty are native Americans and graduates of American colleges; fifteen commodious buildings, campus of fifty acres. five departments, medicine. phar- macy, arts, commerce and archaeology. It is said to be the largest American in- stitutlon of learning of it's high standard outside of the United States.

D.. is the president II has board of trustees in New York, of which Morris K. Jesup is chairman.
 America now sends between 1000 and 800 tourists to the Holy Land annually, and the number Is rapidly growing.

Pretty Soft Hands.

Yane Noguchi, in the Summer Cloud.
 Touch me with thy soft hands, Yukl San. They are soft as soft moonbeams on the singing sands, o Yuki San. They are soft as kisses, of the eve. thy soft hands. they are soft as soft rivulets over the spring lands, o Yuki San
 Oh. touch me again with thy soft hands, Yuki San! I feel the passion and truth of forgotten ages in their touches, Yuki San. I feel the songs and in- cense in their touches, O Yuki San
