gram at once. He notified the arch
bishop that he would NOT only appeal 10
the churches of the archdiocese Of Bal
timore, but would also communicate the
message TO the prelates who will assem-

No Possession of Country More Low.

There is no possession of a country

IN that one emblem are embodied all

and all the hope. and assurance of a
promising future.
The stripes Of alternate red and
white proclaim the original union of
IL States to maintain the Declaration
OF Independence. Its stars, white on
field of blue. proclaim that union of
states constituting our national con-
stellation, which receives a new star
with every state. Thus. the stars
and strips signify union and "in union
there Is strength"
The very colors have Significance.
White stands for purity. red for valor
and blue for justice. together FORM

Stories of the Hour
A vcrmfcelli Cure.

About S. Weir Mitchell the physician
there gather as many stories as about
S. Weir Mitchell the novelist. This is
but one of them.
Last winter Doctor Mitchell sent to
Italy for rest and recreation a patient
who had for some months been under
his care. And if you feel that you
need physician while abroad" he
said. You had better see Doctor So
and-so in Rome"
The patient-as sufferers from nerv-
Gus diseases generally do-did feel the
need of more doctoring while in Italy
and therefore looked up the great So
and-so-the best known specialist in
his line in that country-but neglected
been under Doctor Mitchell's care.
Signor So-and-so asked the usual
questions. and then. in somewhat
broken English, remarked:
Madame, as an American you had
better return to Philadelphia and take
the Vermicelli cure"
Being an Italian. the doctor natur-
ally pronounced the &C" as if it were
''ch," and the patient-who had heard
of water-cures and nut-diets-had a
vision of herself consuming long
strings of the succulent Roman food.
But. Doctor" he exclaimed, why
should go back to America to get the
native dish of ltaly?"
And it was only then that she
learned that Weir MITCHELL" was ltal-

THE SALVATION OF WORK.

There is nothing truer than the old
say that Satan finds some mischief still
for idle hands to do, and many of our
rich and idle young mems worst enc
mics are in their own household, fond
mothers and fathers.
1t is along this line of thought that
the Des Moines. Iowa, News moralizes
on the Thaw case. when it says that
Harry Thaw S mother ruined her son
when she changed the will of the boys
father. The latter left the spendthrift
$4,000 a year. Mrs. Thaw changed it
to $4,000 a year. 1t was case of too
much mothering.
'She put handicap on the sons
life, cheated him out of his chance
Young Thaw never had the satisfac-
ton nor the experience OF earning
an honest dollar. He never knew the
keen JOY of work. The exultation of
the youth who turns from a woodbox
filled or lawn mowed-a job we'll
completed-never came to him. He
was denied the opportunity of labor
with his hands or the working out of
an idea with his head.
THE natural enthusiasm of applica-
tion was stranger to his life. The
curse of idleness was upon him. For
idleness is curse. The dictum that
man must earn his bread by the sweat
of his brow is not curse but bless
ing. Work is the universal law of ma
ture. 1t is the normal, sane business
of man. What could be expected of a
young man who had more money than
he knew how to spend and who made
diversion his only purpose?
There's limit to having good
time. When you get so far, natural
pleasures pail, and if the human has
no occupation the craving for new
emotions begins to pull on the appe-
tite. Self-restraint is overborne Life
is warped. Tastes are vitiated. Ex-
istence is artificial and false.
No man can live sane existence
without some healthy occupation. We
are built that way. The wisdom that
is divine made us for a task. To re-
fuse the task is to go to war with
that wisdom. Work and purity and
sanity are logical trinity

County Auditor Anderson: The
Evening Times was in error last
night in its wolf bounty STORY" The
state and not the county is responsible
for the payment of the bounties. All
the county auditor does is to make out
a certificate showing that such and
such number of wolves were killed by
such and such person on said date.
This certificate goes to the state audi
tor. That is to say, the county is
sues and the state pays. The state
makes an annual levy of two-tenths
of mill for wolf bounty purposes.
A year ago $2,24S.25 was collected in
Grand Forks county. The money goes
into the state treasury and 1t will
be seen the above sum is large enough
to pay all wolf bounty claims in Grand
Forks county several times over was
the money not converted into the
general fund. The greater part of
the money collected throughout the
state is paid out to residents of the
slope counties, more wolves being
killed in that section. The state, how
ever, at the present time, is several
months behind on payments, the fund
being depleted. The wolf warrants
are paid in rotation, according to the
date of their issuance and filing with
the state auditor.

to be back in the old stand again.

J. B. Wineman: For me the fun
niest ball game of the season was that

Gamma Irish and Orr. The McCanna
Irish are so-called because of their
bright green suits and white letters
on the breasts of the shirt with that
name sewed on. AS a matter of fact
eight-ninths of the McCanna Irish are
Norwegians. Fully 1000 people saw
the game, 1t being the occasion also of
the annual picnic.
A Lady Reader: Can anyone tell
me the reason why Grand Forks club

RoJEsTvENsKY's ACQUlTTAL.

The naval battle of the Sea of Japan
was fought on May %, 1905. Admiral
Rojestvensky, the Russian comman-
| der-in-chief, was wounded early in the
action-a splinter of she'll striking his
head. When his flagship was disabled
his staff officer carried him-uncon-
scious or very near ito another ship
and then to torpedo boat destroyer.
A Japanese ship bore down on them.
The white flag was run up and a sig
nal-"We are crippled; we have the
admiral on board" As far as ap-
pears, this was not done by any order
of his, or with his knowledge; he was
in no condition at the time to be con-
suited. The victorious japanese, from
Admiral Togo down to the middies,
were full of sympathy for him, and
he was patched up in a japanese hos
pital. A few days after the battle the
car cabled to him a message run
ming as follows: From my heart
thank you and all the officers of the
squadron who have honorably done
their duty, for your unselfish work for
Russia and for me. BY the will of the
Almight success was not destined to
crown your endeavors, but your bound
less bravery will always be a source
of pride to the country. I wish you
speedy recovery. May God console
you ALL"
That was last summer. This sum-
mer we have seen a strange sight
the man thus thanked by this sover-
eign for "boundless bravery" standing
before naval court-martial, in jeopar-
dy of his life, because of the surrender
OF that torpedo boat destroyer. He has
showed himself brave man still. He
has not pleaded his wound and his
Inconsistencies. Punish me-" he has
said to his judges. Il shoulder the
whole responsibility. Let these officers
of mine go 1ree."
But Admiral Rejestvensky is not to
be put to death-'by way of encourag-
ing the Others"-as Admiral John
byng was in 1857. This is 1906. Such
a brutal in iuct;co xvo,,11 ho,,o ot3..oxa
the eXecrations of the civilized world.
The naval court-martial at Cronstadt
has done prudently in acquitting Ad-
miral Rojestvensky.
