cited the fact that during the past two
months numerous false, misleading
and grossly exaggerated reports had
been published in the metropolitan
press Of other states regarding the
climatic conditions in North Dakota,
many of which reports had been cir
culated at the instance of men who
have sought to divert the tide of i'm
migration from the fertile fields of
North Dakota to other states. The res
olution provided for the appointing Of
a committee by the senate and house
to Investigate and ascertain the exact
conditions that have prevailed during
the past two months and report their
findings to the senate. The resolution
carried by a unanimous vote, and the
president appointed the following gen.
tlemen as the committee: Senators

After State Fair.

=
Senator Simpson introduced a reso-
luton relating to the state fairs at
Grand Forks and Fargo, and calling
attention to the folly of conducting
two state fairs and making appropria-
tons for buildings at two places. This
was referred to the committee on state
affairs.
A message from the house asked for
the return of senate bill No. 8, Hanna's
Labor Day bill. The house defeated
this bill, which provides that Labor
Day shall be a legal holiday, by a
very close vote, and the object of re-
calling the bill is to reconsider the
vote. The bill will probably be passed
on new vote, though the date of La
Dor Day many be changed to some
time in June instead of September as
provided in the original bill.

NORTH DAKOTA LAND DEAL
/NVOL YES ABOUT $500, 900

Sheldon, N. D., Feb. 25.-President
F. w. Froemke and Secretary Ed
Pierce of the Ransom County Immi-
grafton association, of Sheldon, clos
ed a deal at Bismarck for the pur-
chase of the famous Darlington &
Casey farms in southern Foster coun-
ty, comprising 1900 acres Of the
best land in the state. The consid-
Grafton was in the neighborhood Of
100000.
The association have had this deal
in view for some time and made an
offer for it last fall, when because
of the advancing years Of several Of
the principals in the Darlington &
Casey corporation they decided to
dispose of the estate at private sale.
But, through kinsman who Inherit
ed some stock in the Darlington &
Casey company held by the late Mark
Hanna, the Hon. L. B. Hanna had
little inside track and he bought the
property in conjunction with the Hon.
E. F. Porter of Melville, former Sec
rotary of state, and the Hon. George
Palmer. Mr.. Palmer has been for
many years DESTROYS of retaining part
of the tract as home farm for him
self. Two thousand acres was held
out for Mr.. Palmer for this purpose
and not included in the present sale.
Mr.. Froemke inspected the lands
again last week and then went to Bis
marck to close the matter up with
Messrs. Pierce, Hanna and Palmer,
who are all members of the state
senate.
That this land is among the very
best to be found in the state is shown
by the fact that neighboring farmers
have long been anxious to secure par
cells Of 1t to add to their holdings and
they have already spoken for several
tracts at upwards of thirty dollars
per acre. The land lies between the
main line of the 500 road and the
Jamestown Northern branch of the
Northern Pacific, which assures am
pie railroad facilities. The unsold
portion Of the village of Bordulac on
the 500 is included in this deal and

FIGHTS CAR DISTRIBUTION.
Associated Press to The Evening Tinea.
Cincinnati, Ohio, Feb. 25.-The suit
brought by the Massillon Coal Mining
Company to test the validaty of the
recent order Of the Ohio railroad COM
mission regarding the equal distrtbu-
ton of all freight cars, whether the
property of railroads or not, came up
for hearing in the United States court
mere today. The order in question re-
quires that all railroad companies in
OHIO must distribute among all coal
shippers along its route not only the
cars owned by the railroad company
itself, but the cars of other railroad
companies which have been sent over
Its road for supplies of coal and the
cars owned by and intended for the
exclusive use of private coal mining
companies. The suit of the Massillon
company, to which the Wheeling g.
Lake Erie railroad is party, contends
that the railroad commissions order
VIII interfere with interstate COM.
merce and that the commission has
not power to make any ruling affect
ing interstate commerce.

my best to feel cheerful in being driv
en- first this way and that, though
sometimes it was hard But ever
since Tom went away he seemed so
worried and anxious that hadn't the
heart to trouble him.
Zone evening he came home COM
pletely worn out. The moment the
doctor saw him he looked pretty Sc
rious Before he left he said to Alice,
Teddys wife: I hope your husbands
affairs are in good order; the disease
is of a malignant type, and can give
no hope for his recovery.
Teddy heard him, and gave me
one frightened glance; then, turning
to his wife, said Would you leave
mother and I alone little while;
there's something [ want to tell her,
and, as the door closed upon her, and
knelt down and clasped him in my
arms, all the months and years he
seemed to be growing from me were
bridged over-Teddy was still my boy
"For little time he held me close;
neither spoke, and I was almost be-
ginning to think that he had forgot
ten what he wanted to tell me, when
he said: Mother, I can't go out of the
world with my crime on another
mans head. I took the money they
accused Tom Of taking I should be
where he is now. Tom knew it; he
wouldn't tell; once I thought I'd be
brave and confess all, but Tom said:
mo; I've always been the black
sheep, and another black mark to the
score won't hurt like one against your
name-father couldn't stand that"
and, like coward, let him go. He's
been punished for my crime; but if

his place-when, one night, someone
drove up to the door, and [ heard
Toms voice calling Mother Gather
was sick in bed at the time.) SO I
ran out to see what was the matter;
and there, with an officer each side of
him, stood Tom.
Mother he said, "a lot of money
has been taken from the bank (don't
tell father); and I am arrested for the
theft Then, reaching out his hands
to me-the irons on them-and, oh,
I thought my heart would break at
the sight Mother he cried, do you
believe me guilty. and I looked into
his face, where there was only truth
and sorrow. No, Tom, noP I cried;
but tell me who did it.

he said, with such a look of pain on
his that I shall never forget. Only
believe me innocent; and here, mother,
is little gold cross I got for your
birthday; keep it always and perhaps
some day you'll know And he kissed
me goodby." And the voice of the
little woman broke in a sob, and the
eyes of the young mother were wet
with the quick dew of sympathy.
con the same day the prison gates
closed upon Our boy the gates Of
Heaven opened to his father, and
Teddy and I were left alone in the
world.
Though I grieved for Tom and
father we lived happily and comfort
ably till one day Teddy brought home
a wife; cold, proud, ill-tempered wo-
man She never liked me; I was too
plain and old-fashioned for her,
though I gave her the reins and tried

be, but for one thing-no children
came to u.s. The neighbors' boys and
girls were growing up about us, but
in Our home the years came and went,
with never a little child to comfort
our hearts or brighten Our home.
John never said much, but |
knew how he felt; and the day my
boys came-I can never forget it
we had been married then fifteen
years-John had business that kept
him in town all day, and when he
came home old Auntie Brown met
him at the door.
"'Never min yer bosses, Lucky
John; they's sthin' in this yer house
we want yer ter pass yer Judgment
on, and in came John. He gave
one look at the two tiny bundles ly-
ing in the old wooden cradle that had
held him when he was baby, and
then he took me in his arms and cried.
"Well, I can't begin to tell you
what fine babies they were-how they
grew and throve, so strong both Of
them, and smart-they couldn't be
brighter. And as they grew older,
such store as they set by one another.
John always said we should have
called them Damon and Pythias; but
we named them after their grandfath-
ers-Theodore and Thomas.
Teddy was the apple of his faith
er's eye. We expected great things
of him; yet, somehow, though | loved
and did for both my boys all mother
could do, Tommy, who was always in
trouble, was wild and reckless, and as
he grew to manhood, some said fast
Though I could never believe it).
Tommy was mothers boy, and if he
did do what wasn't exactly right
sometimes, it was because that big
heart of his ran away with him; and,
somehow, the more trouble he got
into, the more I loved him-he SEEM
ed to need more love.
"We1l neither boy took to farming.
This was a disappointment to father,
I could see, though he made no COM
plant; so in the bank, where he was
a large stakeholder, father found po-
sitions for them both, side by side at
the same desk. Teddy, we knew,
would do we'll, and Tom-well, we
were glad the brothers were together.
Teddy would help to keep Tom
steady It was the second summer
they were there Teddy was working
very hard Che always cared too much
for money, I thought, though John
never seemed to see it), and Tom was
doing pretty we'll. There had been a
| little trouble once or twice. John
never told me all about it, but he had
made things all right, and Tom kept

or cold, you might see her as she pass
ed down the street. One thin, wither-
ed hand clasped the handle of very
dilapidated satchel, in which were
stored her wares; for she was a ped
der in her own small way; and from
house to house she went, sometimes
to find purchaser for her hand-knlt
tides, crocheted edging and slipper
patterns, but oftener to receive the
chilling information that "We never
buy of no peddlers; mistress amt to
home"
And at the end of the day, as she
would turn into the dark street, and
climb the rickety stairs leading to her
poor little room, life looked very
hard to her-God seemed almost to
have forgotten some of His children;
but, as she opened the door, and from
the wall would smile down on her
cher Tom" her wild boy who had al
WAYS loved and cared for mother
who she knew would come back to
her some day, hope once again would
fill her heart, and her childlike faith
in the Father would return.
And then she would draw from her
bosom and kiss the little gold cross
he gave her the day he went away,
"Keep it, mother, always; perhaps
some day you'll know he whispered;
then he kissed her good bye. The
officers took him away, and she had
never seen him again.
Late, one cold rainy afternoon, she
rang the bell of homelike little cot
tage on a street that was strange tC
her. The door was opened by the
lady of the house, herself, who, or
noting the tired, worn face, the thin
clad figure and wet shoes, asked the
little woman in, though desire tC
purchase her wares was not the mo-
tive that prompted the action.
She opened her satchel and display
ed her goods. AS she spread them OUT
before her, two little boys, evidently
twins, came running into the room
The little woman looked up-"My
Tom! My Teddy" she cried, holding
out her arms to the little fellows
then, seeing how startled they were
and the mothers wondering glance

"And, madam, I am the mother o

little ones, they were as like as two
peas"
"How strange; tell me about them

seeing that love and sympathy wer'
more needed than money.
