versity Upon the Subject, civilian
Morris."-Chapel Well Filled.
My first acquaintance of William Nor
ris was through the reading of one of
his charming books, which l obtained
from schoolmate in my younger days.
1t will be my purpose to arouse you to
greater admiration of this original
and verile writer. Prof. Squires gave
an understanding of the sphere f
the work of different great writer's and
then compared the place of Morris
with their places in the worlds liter
ature
William Morris was born in 1884, the
year that Carlyle went to London 10
begin "The French Revolution" He
associated with two or more iovial
and enthusiastic young men who were
lust entering life. But Morris found
that he could express himself much
better with the pen than with the
brush and he turned to literature.
His first poem was "Gaysor," similar

took at once with approval. was
'as recognized as great story teller.
hen came "The Earthly Paradise"
which also achieved great success. He
was now determined to go on in q
storytelling career. He must look ID
4 new field and away he went to Ice
land. Here he found field. The folk
ore of its early people had never
'een put in verse. 1t became his task
to do this. Some of the most interest
ing and thrilling stories in verse came
from the pen of Norris
He wrote 100000 lines of poetry in
all, but that is not all his work. He
was also we'll known in the field of
architecture. His influence upon deco
ration and refinement in building has
been marked. In fact, most of our i'm
provements today in that line are due
to the influence of VIM. Morris. He
studied the art of making wall
paper. He also studied weaving
to bring out the beauties of that art.
Morris, having made himself master
OF tnese crafts, began studying dye
ing, grass-staining and room decora-
ton. The work he put upon these
crafts effected revolution in making
homes more comfortable on two con-
hnents., His great idea of work in it's
utility to man was to have man put
more pleasure into work in order to
get pleasure out of it. 1t is, perhaps,

TIN PLATE MILLS TO START

indianapolis, Ind, March 3.-When
the big mills of the American Tin
Piate company at Gas City resume
operations Monday they will be run
On the open shop principle instead OF
as union mills as heretofore. Though
union men will not be Disseminated
against in the matter of employment

the matter of wages or in rules gov
erning the running of the plant. The
mills employ about 700 men.

INSPECTION OF
PROPERTY
Board OF County Commissioners Have
Gay Time Viewing the Property
in the City About Which Complaint
Is Being Made of Excessive Taxes.

The board of county commissioners
spent the greater part of the morning,
or the committee on claims did, in
specting the property of the citizens
of Grand Forks who have made COM
plant of excessive taxes. They found
many peculiar assessments and some
peculiar claims. They are consider
ing the report and as soon as it is adj
justed they will adjourn.
Yesterday afternoon they instructed
the auditor to advertise for bids for
the bridge work for the year. The bids
will be opened at the next meeting.
Realizing the right is all there is of
religion.
He takes heaven everywhere who
has the happy heart.
Much of our sorrow is stuff we have
stolen thinking it joy.
Thunders of applause give no prom
Use of showers of blessing.
A good many more would walk with
God If he would go blindfold.

Banner-FOrmer Contest Ruled Out
On Account Of Alleged Bringing"

The tug-of-war which was pulled
off between the four West Side schools
and the East Side school on Feb. 10
is being pulled over again today.
There was an alleged ringing in" of a
boy not a pupil in the school on the
part of the Winship athletes and they
are not in this contest. They won the
first contest and contend that they
are entitled to the banner. The mat
ter was investigated by the Y. M. C. A.
officials, who have the matter in
charge and who are giving the ban
ner, with the result that the contest is
being pulled over and the Winship
school is out. The teams got together
at 4 o'clock for the second pull for
the coveted banner.

STEVENSON'S PRAYERS.
They Were Necessity TO the Life
of the Afflicted Writer.

of the Afflicted Writer.
"With my husband prayer-the direct
appeal--was a necessity" writes Mrs
Robert Louis Stevenson. when he
was happy he felt impelled to offer
thanks for that undeserved joy; when
in sorrow or pain to call for strength
to bear what must be borne" Then in
every Samoan household the day clos
ed with prayer and the singing of
hymns. She says again: "As soon as
our household had fallen into regular
routine and the bonds of Samoan fam
lily life began to draw us more closely
together, Tustala felt the necessity of
including our retainers in our evening
devotions." To their usual evening
service they were summoned by the
'pu" or Samoan war conch. She does
not think it ever occurred to them that
there was any incongruity in this use
of it.
one of these plain, patriarchal serv-
ices Stevenson himself on one occasion
brought to sudden check. He had
just learned of the treacherous conduct
of one in whom he had every reason to
trust. That evening the prayer seemed
unusually short and formal. AS the
singing stopped he rose abruptly and
left the room. l hastened after him,
fearing some sudden illness. What is
it? asked. 1t is this was the reply.
I am not yet fit to say, Forgive us our
trespasses as we forgive those who
trespass against U.S."

THE MONOTONY OF LIFE.
Why n Comment About II Made One
Man Laugh Out Loud.

Sometimes | think that the monoto-
ny of life wears on us far more than
the duties we have TO discharge" sigh
ed a robust citizen the other evening
as the car reared on its hind legs and
began to creep up the shaft. The ev-
nrlasting rut or treadmill, or whatever
you may choose to call it, gets on to
ones nerves. Existence isn't varied
for many Of us; IT'S a perpetual grind"
His companion looked at him a mo-
meut and showed a broad grin. Il like
that kind of talk" he said. It's so
truthful. DO you know what you do
when anything cut Of the ordinary
happens to interfere with your cut and
dried plan and takes you few steps
out Of your beaten path? | do You
throw three or four fits hand running
and look and behave as if there had
been n death in the family. If your
wife accepts an invitation or makes an
engagement for you or you're cornered
so that you can't escape the theater or
concert, you're the crossest and most
OeSpOnutnl creature Oh cul III Anu
you'll invent excuses that wouldn't
wash in a strong lye to dodge a visit
to your relatives or an excursion or a
Journey to another cit. You want to
do the same things in the same old
way day after day, and if you can't
do them you sit down and cry, With
you it's the morning paper, breakfast,
the barber, work, luncheon, more work,
home and the evening paper, and that
would be your routine if you had $780,
600 a year and We're free to come and
go as you chose. Nine men out of ten
are exactly like you, and when l hear
them complaining of monotony I have
to laugh out loud" d."-Providence Jour-
