he had gone. For days he sought him.
Too feeble himself to go, he sent
messengers all through the camp, and
while they sought him, he was fighting
a battle in his own heart.
IF God had wanted them to go for
ward and possess the land, he was
able to help them. Perhaps he was
wrong, after all. And then he re-
called the saying of the elders Of Is
rael that God had declared that none
who had refused to enter through un.
belief should ever go into the Prom
ised Land, but should die in the will
derness. Then his thoughts reverted
to his grandson again, and it suddenly
flashed across him that if that were
true, he was one who stood in the
way of the realization of Israel's hope
He was helping to keep his grandson
out Of Canaan. But at last the vic
tory came, and with it peace, and
when the messengers returned with
the boy, the latter found the old man
with sweetness of spirit viewing his
own fate. The certain hope of Israel,
and that Of his grandson filed him
with new joy. Death will be wei.

FRENCH GIRLS HAVE
NEW THlEyING SCHEME

Paris, April I6.Two young women
who were arrested for new kind Of
theft called "enjolage, made startling
statement showing how we'll thieving
is organized in some parts of Paris.s
The new style of thieving is practiced
BY young women who work in couples
at night, especially when the cafes are
closing. When they see prosperous
looking man, they seize him by the neck
as though they would like to amuse
him, and then run. off laughing.
f An American student is the latest
victim of les Enjoleuses." He was
leaving cafe ON the boulevard Michel
when two girls accosted him. When
he returned home he found that his
diamond scarf-pin, gold watch and
|pocketbook, containing $500, had disap-
|peared. Determined to find the thieves,
he searched the streets of the Latin
quarter, and found one Of them. She was
Earrested and confessed to the theft, but
declined to denounce her companion,
who, however, was soon found, and who
turned out to be her own sister.
The two sisters declared that they
belonged to veritable battalion of
women thieves, who were managed by a
man who supplied them with their ele-
giant dresses, and in return received a
portion. of the money realized by the
sale of their stolen jewels.

NEW JAP MINISTER TO
THE UNITED STATES

Toxic, April I6.-Viscount Siuzo
Aoki, ambassador to the United States,
who is on his way to Washington. is
one Of Japan's leading statesmen and
diplomat tists. He comes from the
provinces of Choshiu, the home Of the
majority of Japan's greatest statesmen,
diplomats and councillors. He was
born in 1894. 81 Aoki was twice minis
ter to Berlin, after he had mastered
the German language he was dispatch
ed thither as secretary Of legation in
1873 and shortly after he became mini
ister to the court of ST. James.
Aoki was minister Of foreign affairs
at thetime the attempt wah made to
murder the czarevitch (noW, the, czar1
travelling; in Japan His grief over
the outrage led to his resignation. Dur
ing the Boxer outbreak he was again
in charge of foreign affairs. Later he
became member of that powerful
body, the privy2 council.
If Aoki has any specially in diplo-
macy, it is treaty-naking, He has ever
been firm friend OF this country, and
the regard in which he is held BY
Americans in Japan led them to give
him a banquet. Aoki was made a
viscount in 1884.
The Viscountess Aoli is German,
and was woed and won by Aoki while
he was stationed in Berlin. Their only
child is the Countess aHatzefeId of
Germany. The viscountess is accom-
plished. and undoubtedly will play a
prominent part in the social life 9of the
national capital. She and her hus-
band usually address each other in
German, the viscount being profound
German: scholar. Both ,Aoki and his
wife speak English huertly.

.WOULD- BE- STATESMAN
STABS AT AN OLD SOLDIER

Buffalo, N. d, April 13.-To The
Forum: In my letter to The Grand
Forks Herald 4 did not intend to say
anything that might injtire the feelings
of either Colonel Lounsberry or Cols
onel Plummer and can hardly see
how either of these gentlemen could
take anything as personal, but ,Louns-
berry seems to have a grievance and
makes many insinuations. "a.
N I will not say anything about a GER
tain government employee in this state
against whom many serious charges
and complaints were made, or the
amount of whitewash that was used af-
ter the investigation, but he does not
now hold the same position.
There are many other things I might
say that will likely be better if omit
ted atsthis time. The colonel like the
faithful dog, barks, groWls and even
threatens to bite when his master is
hit, he also, porcupine-ike, bristles up
and throws quills for protection, but i
think he better play possum and pre-
tend to be dead when cornered in the
open with no chance of retreat.
The colonel also has the gall to
brand every man as a cur, who has the
courage to speak his mind concerning
the Alaskan scandal.
I will take this opportunity Of po-
