He did not break down upon
parting from his relatives, but

Amusement,
BEN HENDRICKS.

"Ole Olson" the first of the Swed-
ish dialect dramas to gain success
and popularity will be played ut the
Metropolitan tomorrow night with Ben
Hendricks as "Ole" Gus Heege, who
wrote the play, was the first to extract
comedy and heart interest from the
Swedish types of character, and Ben
Hendricks the first to typify the char
acter. "Ole Olson" is recalled as an
interesting and pleasing comedy dra'
ma, in which this type of character Is
presented with dignity and natural-
ness and at the same time with full
appreciation of comedy effects. The
plot, which centers around the tribu-
lations of young widow and the eff
forts of faithful young Swedish
man whom she has befrlended to ligh"
ten her burden, Is told with the nat
ural simplicity that Is heart appeal
ing.
Mrs. Jordan, the widow has almost
overcome the schemes of an unscrup-
husband, Jefferson Bassett, whom she
has long believed to be dead, makes
his appearance and cooperates with
the scounirel to secure a fortune left
by her second husband. In their pur-
suit of this plot they run counter to
the young Swede, who instinctively
dislikes the two rascals and becomes
Mrs. Jordan's self-appointed guard
ian.
The development of the Swedish I'M.
igrant from the uncouth and awkward
to the Swedish American citizen OF
the last act is carried along the lines
of mingled comedy and pathos that
have 'the simple annals of the poor"
ever in mind. The company engaged
is an excellent one in every particu-
lar and Is the only one authorized to
present this play. Mr.. Hendricks will
sing six new songs this season in his
inimitable lyle.

sUPERsTITIOUs CONCERNING
SPELLING.

Associated Press to The Evening Tines.
New York, Dec. 13.-The Thirteen
club has decided to throw the weight
of its influence in favor of the Carne-
gie-Roosevelt movement for simplified
spelling. The club has decided to de-
vote its 257th regular dinner, to be
held at the Cafe Liberty tonight to
careful consideration of "Superstitions
Concerning Spelling" President
Roosevelt, Mark Twain, Andrew Car
negie and Brander Matthews have
written their views to the archivist of
the club, who will present their letters
at the dinner. A replica of the old
blue back speller of fifty years ago,
containing, however, the 300 simplified
words approved by President Roose-
welt, has been prepared as souvenir
of the occasion. The club takes &C.
casion to point out that the most dis
cussed of these words-tho, thru,
thoro, program, cata1og-are short
ened by the omission of just thirteen
letters.

Land Birds Helpless In storms


The season of migration is full of
perils of myrads of winged travellers,
especially for those that cross large
bodies of water. Some of the shore
birds. such as the plover and curlew,
which take long ocean voyages, can
rest for some time on the waves if
overtaken by storms but the land
birds are not so fortunate; if their
feathers once become water-soaked
they are almost certain to perish in
the waters OF the ocean. Observers
say that such accidents are not in
frequent
A few years ago some observers on
the deck of vessel near the Louisiana
coast of the Gulf of Mexico saw large
numbers Of birds, mostly warblers,
flying northward on their spring mi
grafton. The little feathered voyagers
had nearly reached the shore when a
storm from the north struck them and
they were blown out to sea. Being
unable to contend with the elements,
they fell into the gulf and were drown
ed by hundreds.
Why birds migrate is yet mystery.
For more than a thousand years the
phenomena of bird migration have
been noted by observers" said John A.
Bryant Of st. Paul, who makes an
nual reports to the agricultural de-
partment at Washington, D. c., on the
flights and migration of Jackson coun-
ty birds, "but as yet no conclusive
answer has been found to the ques-
ton, Why do birds migrate?'
No Satisfactory Hypothesis.
Various theories have been adj
vanced by different ornithologists, but
none has proven entirely satisfactory
to the minds of those VINO have made
bird life study. Some investigators
believe that fall migration of birds is
caused by the failing supply of food
and spring migration by the love CT
home. There is evidence even to re-
flute this statement, for we all know
that water fowl frequently start north
ward SO early in the spring that they
are often forced by storms to retrace
their flight. We also know that robins,
bluebirds and swallows, coming close
ly behind the water fowls, sometimes
lose hundreds out of their flocks by
cold and starvation.
IF the love of home is so strong in
these birds why do they risk their
lives by DESERVING their homes in the
south at the earliest possible moment?
Data recently collected by the United
States government also show that
many birds migrate south when food
is most plentiful.
Years ago strange notions were
held in regard to some of our birds,
such as that swallows Iibernated in
the mud during the winter months and
that small birds crossed great bodies
of water as passengers on the backs Of
cranes and other water fowls. Inves-
legations of recent years have proven
these notions to be but mere inven-
lions of the IMAGINATION"

THIS Is MY fist BIRTHDAY.
Bishop FalloNs.

Bishop Samuel Fallows of the Re-
formed Episcopal church was born
near Manchester, England, Dec. 10,
1885. His life has been a peculiarly
eventful one. He emigrated to Wis
consin in 1848 and worked his way
through the University of Wisconsin,
from which he was graduated in 1859.
After two years. service as president
of GAINESVILLE Unive sity he accepted
the Methodist pastorate at Oshkosh.
While there he Joined the Thirty-Sec.
ond Wisconsin Infantry and became
Its chaplain. Broken health COM
PEELED him to return home after a
year in the field. Later he organized
the Fortieth Wisconsin regiment and
became it's cvlonel. The close of the
war found him a brevet brigadier gen
raj. During the next decade he oc-
cupied number of ministerial and
educational positions in Wisconsin
and Illinois. In 1875 he transferred
his allegiance>to the Reformed Epis-
copal church and became rector of St.
Paul's church, Chicago. In 1876 he
was chosen a bishop of the church.
He was the founder of the Peoples
Institute in Chicago and has been
prominently identified with many re-
form and educational movements.

County Commissioners

The county commissioners met at
the court house on Tuesday and We'd
nesday. Among various matters
considered was the settlement of the
bonds for the costs on ditch No. 8,
in Oak Park. When a petition is
filed in such cases a bond is required
for expenses in case the petition is
found to be without merit, and ditch
is not built. In this case the petit
tioners settled for $3.50, with the
county.
A meeting regarding ditch No. IL,
was set for March 30, at 10 a. m.
The next regular meeting will be
April .3rd. At this meeting the
board will consider the petitions fol-

four applications from legal voters to
be set off one district and joined to
another in different parts of the
county which will also be heard at
the same meeting.

Warren Lost Games

The most interesting basketball
game of the season was played at the
I. NJ. ca. gymnasium last evening,
When the fast high school team from
Warren played the locals The team
work displayed by Warren was fine
and every player seemed to be in the
right place at the right time. De-
spite their excellent work they were
defeated by score of l3 to I. The
local team was at some disadvantage
by the loss Of Woods, who was out of
the game because of sickness, but
the guards, Chittick and Albertson,
seemed to appreciate the situation
and kept the score from going against
them.
Fawcett and Dietz both did some
OF their best work, Fawcett scorin q
eight of the thirteen points made by
the home team. Carlson and Brat
rud for the visitors, distinguished
themselves and made all their points
by fast and at times spectacular
plays.
Only eight fouls were credited to
both teams, which speaks well for the
clean game played by them, and War
rem can feel proud of the team they
have as their representatives.

Lee Frances Lybarger's Lecture

The lecture of Lee Francis Lybarger
at the opera house on Saturday even
ing. was the last in the Warren
entertainment course. 1t had been
scheduled for Thursday evening, when
large audience had assembled to
listen to the distinguished speaker,
but owing to his inability to reach
this city, the committee having the
matter in charge had to announce a
postponement. Hence the lecture
was given on Saturday evening.
The subject ''Land, Labor and
Wealth. is difficult one to handle in
a popular lecture, yet we believe that
Mr.. Lybarger did atit as well as could
possibly be done by anyone. While
he failed to elucidate the great prob
lens touched upon in his lecture, yet
his calling attention to them can have
no other effect than to stimulate
thought. That great wrongs and
inequalities exist in our present social
and Industrial system is quite appar-
ent, but how to devise practical
remedy is the rub. He evidently
sought, to find it in state of social
ism, yet in the opinion of many
great thinkers and philosophers, as
capable as he, socialism is but an
idle dream. If it were possible to
Danish evil from the world entirely
and produce perfect race of men,
perfect physically, mentally and
morally, socialism might prove a
success, yet in such perfect state of
mankind there would be no need of
socialism, because there would be no
evil or injustice to correct. Many
fine spun theories work very poorly in
practice, just because there are so
any IFS in the way. Human society
must be constant evolution from a
lower to higher and more complex
state, and though many mistakes has
and will doubtless be made on the
way to progress, the tendency we
believe is ever upward. And when
ever a wrong gets sufficiently to the
surface that it may be seen we will
knock it in the head. However,
there was much to learn from Mr..
1Lybarger's' presentation of the sub
lect, to which he had given many
years Of serious thought and study.
John ID. Rockefeller and the sssys.
TEN" came in for their scoring, as
usual. On Sunday afternoon Prof.
Lybarger delivered second lecture
on the subject Character building. -
1t was certainly a rich treat from
beginning to end, and more easily un-
derstood than the first lecture. On
Sunday evening Prof. Lybarger occu.
pied the pulpit in the NJ. E. church,
delivering very impressive address.
Prof. Lybarger is certainy bright
and shining light on the American
lecture platform.

A. J. Hilden, who was here from
Oslo, Mimi, yesterday, is a former
Grand Forks man, and it is a notable
fact that a good many of the busi-
ness men over the northwest are
graduates from concerns in this city.
For about dozen years Mr.. Hidden
was the sergeant at arms at the Luke
& Barnes hardware store in this city
and a good many of the farmers
around Grand Forks wouldn't buy
| hardware unless they could buy OF
a. J. But the city became too crowd
ed for him and he went out in the
country, some twenty miles north,
and started store of his own on the
bank of the river. 1t was not long
before other enterprises joined him
and Granville became quite a trading
point. About a year ago Mr.. Hidden
got an inkling of the point, where
the 500 extension might cross the
river and he went and invested in a
few acres of land there. And last
spring when the actual construction
! work was commenced he took saw
and sawed his store into two sections,
hitched teams to them and moved
them over to the crossing point. By
this time town site had been laid
out there but Mr.. Hilden was the
first to locate there. 1t happened
that he was postmaster at Granville.
Several parties living in the vicinity
of the crossing of the 500 wanted a
postoffice there and one of them had
secured the recommendation of Con-
gresham Steenerson for the location
of an office and for his appointment
as postmaster. Before the commission
was issued, however, the applicant
sold out his place and wanted to move
away, so he sent in his resignation.
Mr.. Hidden, learning what was going
on, and not caring to have an opposi-
tion postof6ce only three miles away,
secured the substitution of his name
for the applicant who had resigned
and with the new commission issued
put the postofhce in his pocket and
moved over. to the new town, to the
intense disgust. of some of the people
at Granville. A. J. installed a hard
ware stock in one of the sections of
his store, to which he built an addi-
tion, and a general store stock in the
other. As the new town was rapidly
growing Mr.. Hilden was not satisfied
with being postmaster and hardware
dealer and general mecrhant, and was
elected vice president of the bank and
is branching out in other directions.
