AUNT BUSY HAS HER SAY.

Dear Nleces and Nephews-Aunt Busy has only
time to write few lines because she has to get her
funny old wig curled, her funny old teeth glued
real tight and her funny old spectacles fixed be-
cause tomorrow she Is going to a banquet where she
viii meet all her old school friends Just mag
me old Aunt Busy going to meet school friends!
Only think how very, very old the friends must be-
Poor things! Some of them will lean on canes and
some will come IN carriages because they are so fee
bic. But old Aunt Busy fortunately can ''wadde''
TO the banquet room vet
These old girls and old Aunt Busy are going to
meet at st. Mary's Academy, where all went to
school years and years and years ago. When the
girls see Aunt Busy they will say (Aunt Busy is
really ashamed to tell because it sounds rough)
but they will say. "Hello Topsy." Only think of
this! Topsy! Do you want to know why she had
such name when she went to schooll Well be-
cause she was such bad little girl. She was all
ways doing something dreadful, climbing trees
stealing fruit and drawing funny pictures that
would make the other girls laugh. When she was
put back of the door for punishment she would
draw her hair over her face and play she was an
Indian; she generally standing on the floor
with big wad of gum on her nose and this is
why she has such funny little old nose today
Dear, dear, Aunt Busy said she would only
write few lines, and here is almost column. If
She wrote all her "badnesses of those old DAYS the
book would be like atlas of the world Good
bye darlings Aunt Busy is going to have good
time if her feelings will be hurt by being
called Topsy. Yours "Topsily"

Some Bows Mistakes.

1t Is mistake for boy to think that dash
ing. staggering manner will commend HIM to oth-
ers The fact Is, that the quiet, modest boy IS
much more in demand than the boy of the swag-
gering type More than one boy has lessened his
chances Of success IN life by acquiring in boyhood
pert smart dashing manner, particularly OF
fensive to men of real intelligence and refinement.
Modesty is as admirable trait in man as in
woman and the wise boy viii find it to his distinct
advantage to be quiet and modest in manner
1t is mistake for boy to put too nlgh an eS'l-
mate ON his own wisdom He will find it to be to
his advantage to rely on the far greater wisdom OF
those much older than himself
1t is mistake for boy to feel at any time III
all of the days of his boyhood that it IS not his duty
10 be respectful and deferentia to has father and
mother The noblest men in the world have felt
this to be their duty not only in boyhood, but when
their boyhood days were far behind them. 1t is
bad sign when boy begins to show signs of disre-
spect 10 his parents-The Leader.

The Birds.

In the Irish towns where the effects of our I'M
portation of English customs are strongest, L md
Gagged birds above the doors of many of the middle
and lower classes. And one of the pastlmes OF the
children of these same classes is robbing birds
nests. Whoever has this inhuman trait developed
in youth will not hesitate long about torturng his
fellow creatures in his maturity. Children ought
to be taught to love every living thing.
This only do l ask: let it 90 free,
The bird you prison by your window there,
For seeing it no day to me seems sair-
To all delights this prisoner holds the key.
He who made the countless worlds from nought,
And watches over the tiny sparrow's fall,
What if His sacred ears have far off caught
This one hushed song-ths lonely, wailing cry:
Freedom He gave it when He gave it birth,
10 sing soar to heaven to earth
Let it go free. In yonder purple glade
One bird goes lonely calling for its mate
Calling from but the mornings greyng shade
Until the rose and saffron glow comes late,
y mothers, with your wee ones in the nest
lovers, with your best-beloved anear!
Has this lone cry, forever in your ear,
Awaked no trembling cord within your breast.
This crying, wailing of the widowed bird:
- come to me, my treasure and my store.
No song like thine in all the grove is heard;
| want you and | love you more and more"
What if your time, within the House of Pain,
BE measured by some songster's desire
Mid lnky dark God for the sun and rain D.
For every silenced note tongue of fire?
All things yearn for freedom from earth to sky.
The sea would throb out music in its roll,
The bursting bud would feel the dews soft kiss,
The dreamer tear the bonds that bind his soul;
Did He who made the bird not fashion YOU and {?

Investigate the conditions on the 18TH

mony taken has tended toward har-
monizing the views of the members.
The advocates of the lock-level canal

confident that this plan will be fol-
lowed. They have pointed out that IL

A DOG sMUGGLER.
Belgium Customs Department Cheated
By Canine and His Master.

Associated Press TO The Evening Times.
Brussels, March 2S.-The official or
gan of the Belgian customs department
mentions the death of notorious
smuggler's dog which earned for his
master modest competence The lat
ter at first made frequent innocent
trips with his big rough-coated COM
panion across the frontier, until the
customs officers had become quite
friendly with him. Then his time for
action came He shaved the dog,
wound costly lace tightly round its.
body, and put over this skin closely
resembling dogs own. For five
years the dog almost daily trotted
with valuable hidden burden of lace
across the border into French terri
tory, and probably the fraud would
still be going on had the secret not
been betrayed by an acquaintance.
The faithful dog came to an untimely
lend by a revolver bullet.
Dogs are often used, it appears, to
run with dutiable goods across the
frontier. This they are taught to do
by course of training which includes
sound beatings at regular intervals by
men dressed as customs officials, so
that the poor animals run away terror
stricken from the sight of uniform.

Baseball prospects in Grand Forks
We're considerably improved after to-
days visit from w. ]. Price, president
OF the re-organized Northern league
and Matt Camitsch, director of the
Fargo baseball club. In Mr.. Prices
own language, baseball in Grand
Forks is looking up" The visiting
officials spent the day in conference
with E. Fl. Kent, NJ Stanchfield, F. ].
Dudley and others who have in the
past been identified with baseball in
this city, and this afternoons Messrs.
Price and Camitsch left for the west.
with the assurance that the matter of
organizing a team would be taken up
within a fortnight.
The plan now considered Is that of
holding meeting, probably next Tues
day evening, though the exact date will
be announced in these columns at n
later date, for the purpose of consid-
erlng what steps are advisable, Mr..
Price believes that the best method OF
proceeding is that of having six or
seven OF the leading hackers of baseball
incorporate, say for $4,000, and enlist
subscriptions i'll very much the same
manner as was done last year. Sew
efal men, whose names are withheld
temporarily, have practically consent
ed already to take up the matter of in
corporation. .,-----.--
one matter that is in doubt at pres
ent is that OF the management of the
team. Mr., Stanchfield positively re-
fuses to assume charge, though will
ing to lend all possible assistance
president Price suggests that it would
be hard to find a better man for this
position than w. H. Mcneil, the vet
efan ball player, and manager of last
years Crookston team. Mr.. Mcneil
mas good head and understands
thorouhgly how to handle PLAYERS.
Inc question OF players for the team
which has been worrying those not
on the inside track. was discussed
by Mr Price, who said: "Mr. Stanch-
feld gives me to understand that there
will be no trouble whatever in secur-
ing good men, in fact, he tells me
that there are at the present time as
many as dozen tried players, we'll
known in Northern league circles,
holding off on their contracts in the
hope of being signed by Grand Forks" "
AS to the schedule" continued Mr..
Price, the committee consisting OF J.
M. Lamb and Leonard Van Praag of
Winnipeg, Dr. Glass of Lake Linden
and Jas. Cudahy of Calumet, has been
instructed to go ahead with its work.
expect a preliminary report on
schedules in about two weeks. After
| have had a chance to look it over,
duplicates will be sent to every city
where there is to be a team for in
spection by the members of the board
OF control, Thep II deficiencies are
discovered, or there is an opportunity
for improvement, plenty of time will
be given for making the change. M.
Kent tells me he leaves the city to-
morrow evening but that he will be
back in time to attend the meeting
proposed for Tuesday evening.
There is no doubt In my mind now
as to Grand Forks havingsa team and
making good in the new league. The
schedule will be arranged so as u
make it as advantageous and as saw

Tell your people to get busy" said
Mr.. Price in closing.

When Perkins appeared before JUS
tlce Greenbaum his counsel, Delafield,
asked leave to demur to the writ and
the argument be postponed. Justice
Greenbaum agreed and the argument
upon the writ was postponed until next
Friday.
This proceeding takes the case from
the jurisdiction of the magistrate and
carries it directly to the supreme
court, which, however. is not the
highest court in the state, there being
an appellate division and court of ap-
peals still higher, to which the case
might be appealed.
