ADRIFT WITH THE TIMES
A SUMMER NIGHT IN DIXIE.

A SUMMER NIGHT IN DIXIE. Little heads are drowsing on the road to
 Sunderland,
 Little eyes are closing fast in sleep; Soon the fays will gather in a trieksy.
 Haunting band, Revels on the silver lSwn to keep. One by one the stars appear the beacons
 of the sky,
 Set to guide the travels of the moon; Breathing from the heart of rose, south
 wind murmurs by Softi-A mockng bird lifts up a tune!

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.
From the New York Press.

A miss is good for smile.
 When a stout woman loses weight it's always in secret.
 The more a woman Is afraid of a mouse the less she Is of her husband.
 The only way to cut down the expense of being engaged is to get married
 Generally the reason a girl wants to marry a man is he can't support her as well as her father does.

MemoIi's Large Band.

'The East Lake management is show ing commendable enterprise in securing the services of Memolis concert band for the summer,' said man about town last night.
 Beginning Sunday, Memol with 20 of high class popular concerts These concerts will be free. It used to be that a band of dozen men was considered quite large for free concerts during the summer. And now that we have a band of 20, choice programmes can be ren- dered. I sincerely hope the public will appreciate the venture so as to make it pay.''

TALKING IF OVER.

 You had better just try to forget it When new reverse harries your soul And you seem to be farther than ever From the end of the climb and the goal. Keep on, with a purpose unchanging, And VOW that you'll conquer or die; Don't stay with the rout and the rabble While the winners are hurrying by! You had better just cease to remember The trouble that's gnawing your heart, And press to the thick of the struggle, Determined that you'll do your part. Though the burdens be great that you
 carry,
 Though storm clouds may darSen the
 blue,
 Cling fast to your hope and your cour-
 age
 There are others less favored than you. Iris madness to yield in a moment When victory's lowering nigh And rainbow of promise is gleaming Through the murk of sorrowful sky. Keep toling and be not Respondent. For the future has guerdon in store And the fellow who quits, deserter, Shall be chosen by fortune no morel

A Chinese Opium Den.

Samuel Merwin in Success Maya
zine: An opium den usually takes
up one floor of a building. Against
the walls is a continuous wooden
platform, perhaps two feet high and
extending out seven of eight feet in
to the room. This platform is divid-
ed at Intervals of five or six feet by
low partitions, sometimes but few
inches in height, into compartments,
each which accommodate two smok-
ers, with one lamp between them.
Sometimes rug or bit of mating
is laid on this hard couch, sometimes
not; for the FChinaman, accustomed
to sleeping on bricks, prefers his
couch hard. AMMAN always lies down
to smoke opium; for the porus pill,
which is passed into the tiny orifice
OF the pipe, cannot be ignited, but is
held directly over the lamp and the
flame drawn up through it.
The first den we entered was on
the second floor of a rickety building.
We climbed the steep, Indefinitely
dirty stairway, crossed narrow hall,

and opened a door. At first found
it difficult to see distinctly in the
dim light and through the thick blue
haze: and the empowering, sickish
fumes Of the drug got into my nose
and throat and made breathing a
noticeable effort. There was desk
by the door, behind which sat the
keeper of the den, with litter of
pipes and thimble-like cups before
him. In a corner Of the desk was
a jar of opium, thick, sticky sub
stance, dark brown in color, in ap-
pearance not unlike molasses in Jan
uary. There were twenty smokers
on the couches, some preparing the
pellet fopium by kneeding it and
pressing it on the pipe bowl some
doing off the fumes, and few smok-
ing. An attendant moved about the
room with fresh supplies of the drug
For each thimbleful, enough for one
or two smokes, the price was fifteen
cents (Mexican).

situation somewhat in Mandan. w

a hand in making some necessary
laws and has decided to stand for the
legislature. The west end has an av-

problems. The speaker suggested
that instead of building an enormous
navy and fighting for foreign mark
cts we find a home market for our
produce. 1t might be possible to do
this by increasing our standard of
living and paying higher wages. The
black race is another serious problem
before the country. 1t has been dem
onstrated that there can be no social
equality between the races. Even in
the north where we have been
preaching equality the labor unions
are barring blacks from joining the
unions. There are four methods of
disposing of this problem, deporta-
ton, assimilation, segregation and
humiliation. The last named has
been for all time the most commonly
practiced, the weaker race disap-
pearing before the stronger. The
method that will eventually succeed
| will be a combination of the four
above methods. The speaker has a
| very pleasing personality and his ad-
| dress was listened to with very close
attention.
| At a recent meeting of the govern
ing board, number of changes were
made in the general science and ag-
ricultural courses for the sophomore
| year. Heretofore the sophomore
year has been largely compulsory
as to it's subjects and in many cases
| it was difficult for student to start
1 a line of work on his electives as
| early as he should in order to be-
! come proficient in the line of his
| chosen life work. The new catalog
| will show more electives in the So
phomore year in both, courses. The
new courses will especially benefit
the work in biology, domestic science
and horticulture. Beginning with
the new year the department of BIZ
ology will be able to offer full three
i years course in which there would
4 be two full lines of biological work
4 possibl, the subjects in botany and
zoology courses, in most cases, being
elective against each other after the
sophomore year.
! The agricultural students were de,
feated in very close game of basket

EDITOR IS LIFE SAVER
EDITOR GROSS ENTITLED TO CAR
NEGlE MEDAL FOR SAVING Eel.
LOW MAN.

State Line Herald: And now Editor
Gross is a candidate for one of those
Carnegie medals for saving life. He
saved a life and the story runs thus
ly: Twas Wednesday night, pitch
dark; not far from the witching hour
when ghosts walk, etc. Just why the
editor was out so late is nobody's
businessmen even Bro. Lawson's
Anyway he was vending his way up
Main street, to cross the track to his
own town of North Lennon, when
near the railroad grade, he stumbled
pell nell over something yielding that
felt like a bundle of rags. Immediate
" thereafter a drunken shout, seem
ingly from the bowels of mother earth
meath his feet, apprised him of the
fact that someone had bedded himself
for nights sleep on the Milwaukee
right of way. The editor admits that
this sudden discovery made his heart
leap up to his mouth, and that he &C.
CELEBRATED his step to get across the
grade back again into Gods country
there to don his overcoat and scoot
back and inform Lemmontown's tall
guardian of the peace of the where
abouts of another candidate for the
ccroner's inquest. For surely man
laft 1yinp there drunk would freeze
sitter than stick of wood over night
But all this reasoning was cut short
by sudden flash and report and the
uncomfortable whiz of a bullet past
him. The drunk had proved to us
that he was still able to take car
of himself" At any rate, the editors
unwilling kick and his own gun play
must have cleared his wits sufficiently
to stagger towards safer place for
the rest Of the night.

tfibuted among firms who employ a
considerable amount of labor. The
bureau Of immi grafton and natural
ization is carrying forward this work
for the purpose of finding employ
ment for the newly arrived immi-
grants. At the same time the blanks
classify the labor so that the appli-
cant will be sent to the place where
the kind of work he can perform
is to be found. The prime object is
to find work for the newly arrived
Immigrants in this country.

is so made that a complete record
can be kept of every ear of corn
tested. The seed is planted in the
same soil that the corn was raised
in and no plotting paper of any kind
is used.
