BOSTON TRYING THE
KENTUCKY PLAN

Last year Kentucky had her home
coming celebration and now Boston
with her culture and baked beans is
trying to inaugurate big Old Home
week celebration, July 2S to Aug, g..
We rather like this idea, most of
the western people came from some
point In the east, especially the old
er people, and these inducements
that the old home points hold out
for the return of their wandering
children for a season of rest and en-
ioyment are altogether proper and
profitable. The reduced rates that
are made on the roads render it pos
sible for many to make the trip that
could not think of it under the regu-
lar rates and it must make the home
conner feel good to know that he is
being welcomed by the whole city
or state.

POSSIBLY WRONG.

They say-rhe "they say" is not
always reliable, but sometimes pub
lie talk is based on real facts.
4 They say that the city council
Mas bought an old Star drilling rig
for $3.50 and will do some more
drilling.
They say this old rig is badly out
of order.
They say that it will cost several
hundred dollars to put it in good
shape.
They say a new one, cable al d
all, could have been bought for
81, 500.
They say that there are a num-
Der of these old rigs in the country
that can be bovght very cheap.
From what they say the council
may have been worked little.
But if they got the rig cheap
enough it does not seem to US that
the expense is juftifable at the
present time.
Possibly we are wrong. Leases
have become expensive and gas
wells quite uncertain except in cer-
. tain territory. We are of the opin
ion that the city had better buy its
gas at current rates than do any
more prospecting.
There surely is fair margin be-
tween the cost price of gas, as offer
ed the city and the present meter
rate. Is it not better to buy now
than to take chances on drilling? A
,kood deal of money may be spent
and no good accomplished.

CHILDREN.
or state.

Did you ever send your children
away on visi ? If not, lie! me give
you this advice: Don't.
You may hatter yourself that you
are going to accomplish great things
in the few days that the house is
quiet. After the first excitement of
getting them off on the train is over,
you settle down 10 the real business
on hand, congratulat.ng yourself on
the stiffness. But pretty soon the
silence becomes so noisy as to dis
trac; your attention from your work.
The furniture creaks. Strange
sounds invade the stiffness. Away
off somewhere you hear a boy
whooping and you try to shut out
the sound. You tell yourself that the
noise of that whooping makes you
nervous and creates an inclination
to weep.
Then your glance encounters a
matted haired doll, lying neglected
on the floor. Near by is a little
run down t-the-heel slipper that
has been dropped.
Thinking to regain your equalib-
rum you start out doors. The pass
age through the house is fraught
with so much meaning. There a
child's book has been dropped near
chair. On the table are some
roughly drawn pictures and child
ish scrawl. And the house is so
still You can hear your heart beat.
When you reach the door you hear,
in neighbor's yard, the voices of
happy children at their play. And
then you know! 1t is your children
that you want 1t is the confusion
and the noise and the disorder. 1t
is that part of you that went out of
the house when they left, and with.
out which no poem can ever be
written; no song can ever be sung.

COUNCIL.

The meeting of the council, last
Monday night, was business af-
fair. Several important matters
came up for consideration, among
other things was the matter Of the
roof garden being erected over the
Dunning Drug Co. 1t seems Mr.
Cross feels that his firm is damaged
by the erection of this place and
asks for strict Interpretation OF
the ordinance or an indemnity.
Rather a delicate question for the
council to handle after the building
is up by their consent.
A new whiskey ordinance was in
troduced that is pretty strong in its
requirements. The committee re-
ferred it back to the council without
recommendation.
A new water ordinance was intro
duced arranging to meter the water.
This was uncerenomiously tabled.
The council does not care to tackle
any more meter propositions, not
just at present.
The electric light meter PROPOSE
ton will be up for consideration
later.
Mr. Pratt introduced resolution
seconded by Terril that those who
did not choose to put in meters
might use the gas on fiat rate at an
advance of SO per cent above pres
ent rates. The resolution was lost
by vote of 6 to 2.
The legal printing was taken up
and bids opened and read, and the
matter finally referred to the print
ing committee for further considera-
ton,

BRYAN GROWING STALE

Of course 1t didn't dent the boiler
plate epidermis of William Bryan,
but the "turn down" he got from an
Oklahoma City chau'auqua audience
would have scared the souls of most
professional orators. Mr.. Bryan
was billed to address the audience
in the afternoon, but a late train de-
layed him and he did not fiji his
engagement until evening. His
advertised subject was "The Aver
age Man IN Politics." He was
prepared to launch forth into this
we'll known lecture when he decided
to leave it to the audience whether
he should talk politics or talk about
The Old World and Its Mays. "
When the vote was taken it indicat.
ed that an overwhelming number Of
the people present preferred the
travel talk to the Bryan political
howl.
1t is unfortunate for Mr.. Bryan
that this country is so small. As
he does little except travel about
making addresses for money he finds
that he is compelled 10 work the
same territory so often that he Is
becoming stale. There was time
when Mr.. Bryan was a distinct nov
city and people Aocked to hear him.
In those happy days it was the rule
for the railroads to run special ex'
cursion trains for the occasion of
his appearance. Gradually he has
dropped to the level of the ordinary
Chautauqua attraction until today
he shares honors with the Schubert
quartette, LaFollette and the Swiss
Bell Ringers. And now that he
has received fair demonstration Of
the public's preference for his travel
talks instead of his political haran
CUES, it may occur to him that he IS
becoming tiresome and should take
a vacation. In order to hold the
attention of American audiences a
speaker must refresh his stock once
in a while. The same old COM
plants and croakings have been
served to Bryan audiences so long
that they have lost their drawing
power. And the final test of cir.
Gus or a Chautauqua orator is the
box Office report. No one knows
this better than that veteran of III:

/. FAMOUS ARCHERs.
Stories Of Wonderful Skill With Bow
and Arrow. ny

Stories Of Wonderful Skill With Bow
,s} and Arrow.
The expression drawing long bow
does not of necessity mean sthe telling
Of falsehood. 1t sometimes refers to
a wonderful story, which may be true
enough, but which is SO marvellous as
to require firm trust in the veracity
Of the narrator to enable the hearer to
believe it. Some of the longest bows
of this sort have been drawn about
bows and arrows.
These stories began long ago. Virgil
In the " Eneid" tells of four archers
who were shooting for prize. the
mark being pigeon tied by a cord to
the mast of a ship. The first man hit
the mast, the second cut the cord, and
the third shiA the pigeon as it flew
away The fourth archer, having moth
ing left to shoot, drew his bow and
sent his arrow flying toward the sky
with such speed that the friction of the
air set the feathers on fire, and it
swept on, like a meteor. to disappear
in the clouds.
The stories told of Robin Hoods
archery, illustrated by his wonderful
performance as Locksley in Scott's
.Ivanhoe," are also a decided strain
upon a sensible persons credulity. The
famous story of William Tell, doubted
by many persons, is believed by others
to have a foundation Of fact. There
was Dane named Foke Of whom the
same story is told, and William of
Cloudesley, an Englishman, is said to
have shot an apple from his sons head
merely to show his experiences.
Most stories Of bows and arrows re-
late to the accurate aim of the archers,
but a Frenchman. Blaise de Vigenere,
4 tells one that shows the tremendous
force with which an arrow may be
propelled If the bow be strong and long
enough. According to his own ac-
count Of the matter, he saw Barbaros,
sa, a Turk, admiral of ship called the
Grand Solyman, send an arrow from
his bow right through cannon ball.

THE SPANISH EscURIAL.

Ut Is q Marvellous Specimen Of Ancient
Architecture.
The Escurial. the palace Of the Span
ish king, an architectural marvel, for
merly described as the eighth wonder
Of the world, = is now seldom spoken
of even by those who are ready to go
wild over much less pretentious struc-i
lures. The cornerstone Of this Span
ish st. Peters, was laid by Philip IL.
in 1868, but it was 302 years (1865) be-
fore the INDUSTRIOUS building was pro-
nounced finished. 1t was built by Phil

finest monastery In the world" should
his forces be successful in their great
battle, with the French. That battle
was fought at ST. Quentin on Aug 10,
1857, st. Lawrence day, and in order.
to honor that saint as well as to fulfill
his vow the king had the foundation
of his great memorial laid off in the
shape Of gridiron, the implement of
torture upon which the goodly Law
renee is reputed to have suffered mar
tyrdom. =
81 To those who have never visited the
Escurial the size of the gigantic struc
ture is beyond comprehension. 1t is
740 feet from north to south and 5801a
feet from east to west, the square tow
ers at each corner rising to height of
over 200 feet. Within this monstrous
building are the kings palace. cathe-
dral, monastery of 200 cells, two col
leges, three chapter houses, three Ii
brary buildings. five large halls, six
dormitories, three hospitals and over
5000 other rooms. In order to make
st. Lawrence's griiiron complete, the
building is built in quadrangular form,
with seventeen rows or ranges of mon
strous stone structures crossing each
other at right angles, these forming the
gridiron's ribs. the handle being a
wing 40 feet in length. The church
which is a part Of this vast pile of ma
sonry, is 1854 feet long, 23O feet wide
with dome $50 feet in height. 1t is
estimated that the building cost $50,
100000.

parent. Exaggerated reports are, hap
PLY, now being tempered by more
mod erate statements of fact. For
this exaggeration no one is really to
be blamed. a consumer or a country
merchant, finding himself running low
on supplies, is likely to become scared
and to anticipate all sorts Of trouble
and to magnify the situation.
There has, of course, been much in.
convenience and some suffering and
the reports have in the main had a
basis in fact, but the east really knows
little about our resources, diversified
interests, or population and wealth dis

has failed to consider the reports rela-
lively. It might be true that a par
ticular station was cut off and that
stories of short supplies coming In

that might make a distinctly bad i'm
preston would really be less impor-
tant considered with reference to
North Dakota Or the northwest as a

BATHGATE GARDEN.

Pink Paper: The following is a clip
ping from the Dakota Farmer of Feb
8ruary / and tells the praises of our
neighbor, Mrs. James Derby, the fame
Of whoss skill has spread The length
and breadth Of our fair Dakotas
Last fall j had occasion to visit a
neighbor and inspect her cellar and
garden. have seen displays at fairs
but never anything to compare with
her collection, all of her own growing
and manufacture, and her exclamation,
we raised all this fruit ourselves here
in North Dakota was an eye-opener
to me as to the possibilities Of skilled
industry in this climate. Shelf above
shelf of the loyeliest canned and
preserved Strawberries, raspberries,
plums, currants, gooseberries, crab ap-
pies, apples, tomatoes, jellies, ketch-
ups and pickles met my delightful
gaze, and makes my mouth water as i
think Of it. The half hours object les
son in the garden, which is surround
led on three sides by a deep Wind-break
of raspberries and plums, gave me
more Information than all the cultural.
directionsI have ever read. Over each
tomato plant was a box, with top and
bottom removed, to keep the branches
up from the ground, and all superfiu-
GUS branches were cut of. The result
was bushels Of ripe tomatoes. The
mode Of potting the strawberry run
ners was new to me. She used small
flower pots, leaving the new plant in
the pot for two weeks until well root
ed, then transplanting to the desired
spot; removing the pot does not stop
the growth for a moment. This eel
lar and garden are an Eden in my
memory and stimulate me to greater
efforts to attain similar efficiency.
March is a good month to start our.
garden in the house, and by the mid
die of May we can have a supply Of
fine large cabbage, tomato, celery and
other plants, and also have the plea
sure Of watching them grow. - Mrs
