exaggeration to say that many of the

my acquaintance have graduated into

The real crusted celibate is the Load

to woman, either one way or another.
1t is always sign of weakness and
susceptibility when a man takes the
trouble to proclaim himself a woman
hater. He Is like the attorney who
abuses his opponent when he knows
that he is going to lose his case. 1

MONDAY.
Harry Beresford in 1.-THE Woman
Halter"
MONDAY.

Harry Beresford In "The Woman
Hater."
This noted comedian is receiving
great press notices for his latest sue
cess, and he guarantees enough laugh
to Grand Forks patrons who see him
this evening to recompense for other
comedy failures.
Some men think that woman was
only created for mice to scare, men
to deceive, and push a baby Garland
how anybody can hate the sex is be-
yond our comprehension. Woman is
composed Of love, affection, hairpins,
and good clothes. We could not get
along without her. and sometimes it is
difficult to get along with her. Who
would get the alimony, If it wasn't for
woman? What would become of all
the Ice cream and soda water, if it
wasn't for woman? What would the
bargain counter be without the thrifty
saving wife? There would be no card
parties, picnics or excursions without
the gentle sex. There would be no.
body to take to the Metropolitan the
atre this evening to see Harry Beres-
ford in "The Woman Hater." What
would men do without woman to lie
to and bluff? This would indeed be
a cold and dreary world and look like
a Canadian five-cent piece with a hole
In 1t without those butterflies of fash
ION. Some men may pretend that
they are woman haters, and love them
Just as dearly as anyone else. Just
think Of home without woman or
pie. Just think of wife with cold
feet. And what would the men look
at who stand on the street corners
on a wet. rainy day? We pause to
hesitate. Woman is source of pleas
ure and a Joy forever. And we are
perfectly satisfied that Mr.. Beresford
at the Metropolitan theatre will sue
cumb to Cupid's dart and marry the
charming lady of his choice and love
the sex ever after.
Laughter-good hearty laughter,
enriches the flow of the gastric juices,
and thus compels perfect and pleas
ant performance of the digestive or
gans.
Laugh and grow fat" said one
other wise philosopher. If you don't
care to grow fat, why simply laugh
and grow young again. Prepare your
system with heroic doses of merri-
ment so that the thick and juicy beef
steak becomes again a thing of gas
tronomic joy, rather than an instru-
ment of torture.
If you care to try the cure, perfect
results are assured. No cure, no pay.
Satisfaction is positively guaranteed.
The above results will be obtained
when Harry Beresford presents his
latest and best play, 1.-THE Woman
Halter" to which the critics have kow-
lowed.
Faust.
Faust" never loses its attraction
for theatre-goers, If one may Judge by
the large audiences that are greeting
the performances all along the line.
1t Is one of the stage classics, which,
with the spectacular electrical fea-
lures, makes it appeal strongly to all
classes. One never tires of the sor-
rows OF beautiful Marguerite or the
weird fascination of "Mephisto." The
play is too we'll known to need spe-
cial description. An added feature en-
route this season with Porter ].

A TWO=FOOt Rat.

A warehouseman at the Oriental
dock, in Baltimore, had the distinc.
ton the other day of killing the larg'
est rat ever seen along the local water
front. The rodent Weighed nearly
seven pounds. and from the tip Of his
nose to the end of his tail he measured
two feet.
1t was only after a desperate fight,
lasting twenty minutes, that the i'm
mense rat was killed. For some time
scraps of paper and wood in the tool
room of the warehouse indicated that
a swarm of rodents was at work. Then
one morning the warehouseman en-
countered the big fellow. With a
broom handle he attempted to put an
end to the rodents life, but the rat
showed fight. Back and forth he
scampered, and when cornered he
rushed at his assailant. Once he hid be-
hind a coil of rope overhead, and then
he dashed at the mans head. The
latter lodged but the rodents sharp
teeth grazed his face. At last the rat
was killed and measurements proved
that he was the biggest ever seen in
port.
The animal is supposed to be a spe-
cies found in South America and it is
believed he came here in a ship, all of
which carry many rodents.

OUR SUGAR
Beet Sugar Nov More Than hatS the
Worlds Total Production

Of the more than 1900 million dol
lars worth of merchandise brought in
to the United States during the last
year more than $50 million dollars
worth was sugar. Sugar formed by
far the largest single item in this larg-
est importation which the United
States has ever made in any single
year.
The I tied States is increasing
steadily and rapidly its consumption
of sugar. The sugar producers at
home are increasing their output of
both cane and beet sugar, but even
their rapid increase in production Is
not keeping pace with the increasing
home demand, and as a consequence
the quantity of sugar brought into the
country increases from year to year.
1t has doubled in the last twenty years,
while population meantime increased
but so per cent. The annual average
importation during the flye-year period
ending with 1885 was 1,031, 149 tons,
and diving the five-year period ending
with 1905 the annual average was 2,106,
DAB tons, despite the fact that the sugar
production at home had grown from
176, OBS tons in 1885 to approximately
600, 900 tons in 1905.
The United States is the largest
sugar-consuming country in the world,
though the per capita consumption in
this country is not as great as in the
United Kingdom. The total consump-

Famous for Artificial Noses.

The city of Indore is modern and
ugly and u~ninteresting. Apart from
being the prosperous capital of a rich
native state, its chief claim to motor
iety rests upon its hospital, which has
won universal fame by the manufac-
ture of artificial noses. That may
seem a very limited industry on which
to build a name. But in India there
are several ways of promoting this in
dustry. When a woman comes to the

to deprive national lawmakers OF their
ancient sacred right to assist the Prest

the committee regard II as the sordid

than a single blow against any of their
more dangerous foes, dying themselves
as a result of it, while the foes, after
bowling with pain for a bit, calm down

incredible, therefore, that a creature
