LIVED IN SLOW TINES.

Inc world has made rapid progress
since the Declaration of Independence
was signed one hundred and thirty
years ago Thousands of things which
are now regarded as essential in orr
modern life and which if the people
we're now compelled to do without,
would seriously impede their methods
OF work, were then unknown.
The wives of the men whose act we
are celebrating today, cooked their
food over a wood fire in an open fire
place, and baked their bread in Dutch
ovens. Cook stoves were unknown.
The corner of the huge kitchens of the
day was occupied by the spinning
wheel. where the industrious house
wife spent her leisure moments con-
verting the hand made rolls of wool
into yarn by turning the wheel by foot
power while she drew out the wool
T" yoiu vi ~ dt d LlIIlS. he Tolls were
made by hand on a pair of hand cards
probably four by seven inches and
having teeth made of wire. One of
these was held in each hand and the
wool first combed into condition and
then taken from the teeth and rolled
between the backs Of the two cards.
Another common occupant of part
of the kitchen floor was the hand
loom, where the women of the house
hold wove the home made yarn into
cloth. The schultz was thrown be-
tween the threads of the warp by
hand, being caught at the alternate
ends by the two hands, while the
threads of the warp were crossed by
means of treddles operated by the feet.
The family sewing was all done by
hand, such a thing as a sewing ma

economic policy can be made success
full the people must be educated to an
understanding of its value. This will
require generations. Meanwhile the
overcrowded conditions will grow
worse and the disorders which have
terminated in the last few months
will bear fruit ruinous alike to the
bureauracy and the masses of the peo-
pie.
The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1906-07-04
AN ALARMING CONDITION.

If the claim of the Russian govern
ment is correct in its argument against
| the distribution of the land of that
country among the peasantly instead
| of having it held by the landed arts
tocracy as is now the case, be true, it
| shows deplorable condition OF affairs
which must grow worse in time.
The government claims that if the
arabic land in European Russia were
distributed among the pesantry there
would now be less than three acres for
each one, and that as the population
increased this would gradually become
less, as under the system advocated by
the socialists which is generally APP
proved by the peasantry the land woulI
be kept evenly divided among those
who would be entitled to the same.
The government claims that it would
be better for the peasants to remain
as they are SO that they could obtain
work from the landlords, and thereby
have the advangtage of more labor.
If the figures upon which the govern
ment estimate is based be true-and
they bear the impress of sincerity-it
is clear that the future of the hordes
of Russians is none the brightest. For
if there is not now land enough to sup
port them when they till it themselves
and receive the larger share of the pro-
fit, it is certainly not sufficient to do
SO when they till it for the landlords
who must receive the larger share of
the income.
Then too it is not made clear how the
people can secure a greater amount
of work from the cultivation of the
land when they work for the feudal
owners than when they work it for
themselves.
But from the whole condition it is
easy to see that there is but little hope
for relief for the Russian people. They
now have greater population than the
land will support. There remains but
one course. which is for the govern
ment to foster such public works as
will give employment to large num-
Der of people, thereby relieving the
land of their support and creating a
market for the crops of those who do
cultivate it.
The government is in such i'll repute
with the lower class of it's citizens
that any attempt on its part to estab-
fish public works or to encourage any
capitalists in establishing them, would
be misunderstood by the illiterate
peasantry and would in all probability
create series of disorders worse than
any which the unhappy nation has yet
experienced.
The people there know nothing only
the coveting of the land which they
have titled for years for the profit of
the aristocracy. Before any other

His Impression.

An official of the government insane
asylum at Washington is firm be-
lever in the beneficial effect of amuse-
ment on a deranged mind. and, being
himself good amateur comedian, oc-
casionally gives his patients a little
entertainment.
His last performance was especially
ludicrous and absurd: but one man in
the little audience sat through it with
a most grave countenance, a look of
perplexity at times coming into his
eyes.
ut certainly is a remarkable state
of affairs he confided to visitor
after the doctor has finished an amaz-
ing sort of Highland fiing-"a very re-
markable condition of things, when
they shut me up here and leave him on
the Outside!"

The Servant Problem.

Washington man was telling some
one of the trials of his wife, an en-
cellent housekeeper. with reference
to the servant problem. Just about
the time the mistress would get
new girl broken TO the ways of the
household and she would bid fair to
become Il model servant. she would
decamp or enter the service OF some
neighbor. ~
One Of these. Mrs. Jones, had in
CURED the especial enmity of the first
woman, for she had lately taken two
servants from Mrs. Blank.
One night in the winter Blank was
aroused from his slumbers by queer
sounds in the kitchen. "Burglars!" he
hoarsely whispered in the ear of his
spouse. as he prepared to tumble out
OF bed and proceed down stairs.
Henry" calmly observed the wife.

timistic natitre. Always looking on
the bright side. I'll wager anything

An Effective Reason,

Francis w. Cushman, representative
in congress from Washington, is
known as one of the dryest wits in
that body.
Not long ago he had occasion to con-
suit one of the medical celebrities of
the national capital. Previous to gain
ing an audience to the physician, the
congressman was compelled for many
weary minutes to cool his heels in an
anteroom. Finally, his patience be-
coming exhausted, he summoned an
attendant to whom he said:
Present my compliments to the
doctor, and tell him that if l am not
admitted in five minutes l shall be we'll

vass gives all nineteen votes to the
regulars. The insurgents have been
claiming Towner county, but the vote
there stands eight regulars: and one
insurgent. Mclean county has been
put in the doubtful column by the in
isurgents but its seventeen votes are
regular and for the denomination of
Governor Sarles. Thus the claims of
the insurgents are proven baseIess
and their list of delegates fades away
into thin air.

The End Of Importance.

Washington were having their biennial
row over the election of the standing
committee to represent them at the
capitol in connection with the senate
committee on rules and the speaker
of the house.
Ex-senator Chandler, always liking
to be around where there is row,
came along and asked about the battle.
He was given full information.
How about So-and-So?" he asked.
oh. he has voted!" was the reply.

mates him. The least important man
