AFRAID or A hnIfoN poILaRs.

A Chicago newspaper tells the story
OF family heir to 81. COO, 900 that hesi.
tates to take the money for fear n
may interfere with future happiness.
"Quixotic." some people would can It.
This large heritage comes to Emil
Ascher. retailer In gloves, who has
wife and eight children. The family
lives contentedly In a coxy Dat. The
children are ali married excepting the
youngest.
The money comes from an uncle In
Germany.
But falling heirs to a million docs
not seem TO have given these people
the thrill supposed to come TO the very
fortunate IN these commercial times.
They are actually afraid OF the
money.
In au interview Mrs. Ascher says: II
suppose We must take the money. But
! can tell you want nothing but my
husband and children. We are very
happy. I am afraid OF a future with
much money. and so Is my husband"
Continuing, the good woman says:
I'VE are not rich. We have simply
enough to eat and a fnirly good place
to live. All the money In the world
could not make us more satisfied. II In
not money that makes people happy.
1t is living n good life"
What we will do with all this money, !"
said the husband. 81 cannot tell. We
will take trip to Germany, nv wife
and 1. We will probably give half the
money to hospitals and old peoples
homes and then divide the rest be-
tween mother and the children"
1t Is safe to say that million will not
magnetic other millions In the hands
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Ascber.
The ten hundred thousand could
scarcely have fallen In better hands.
They will divide 1t up and set 1t to
work doing good. Do you doubt their
humble WISDOM?
There arc those who would mortgage
their hope OF salvation for $1,000, 900
and permit the mortgage to be fore
closed. These will sneer mt the sue.
gestton that any one should fear the
effect Of much money on future happi-
ness.
And yet
There are great possibilities of evil
as well as OF good-in the use OF q mil
lion. Improperly directed. It might
easily disrupt the genuine happiness
OF little nrestde. II might easily
bring family strife and beartburnings
and much misery.
And, on the other hand
Money can gid. but II cannot make
happiness.
This family Is wise above the Wis
dom OF Its day. Instinctivciy Il feels
what many would be wiser people do
not understandable peril TO peace OF
sudden riches.

A great bunch Of letters came to the

From these the girl took her choice.
The next day shrewd Miss Brown
sat at her desk taking dictation. She
had found her Job.
And the other girls were still adver-

The lesson OF the incident Is plain.
This Is an age Of advertising. The

desirable country and much Of it
will be tributary to the Twin Cities
>of the Missouri Slope, Bismarck and
Mandan. Probably by the time the
lands are, surveyed and made ready
to be placed on the market the
branch of the Northern Pacific run
ming south along the Missouri river
down to and through the Standing
Rock reservation, will be built and
the old Pioneer line will thus be
enabled share with the milwaukee,
road the business of this new en-
pire. About 100000 acres Of land
will be opened up by this act Of con-
gress. 1t is not likely, however, that
the land will be opened until the
latter part of 1909, or early in 1910,
and more likely the latter date is
correct. Some allotments are to be
made to Indian children born in the
last year or fifteen months, surveys
are to be completed, and certain ex-
aminations made. These and other
preliminaries will take considerable
time. Following the completion of
the various examinations, the presi-
dent will issue a proclamation fix
ing the date of the opening Of the
land, and the manner in which it
Ishall be disposed of. The lottery
l'method has proved so successful
with other Indians lands, that it
will probably be adopted for the dis
posal of the Standing Rock and Chey-
enne River reservations.

ment in the manufacture Of de-
natured alcohol, and If it sue
ceeds in producing it at a cost
low enough to put the Standard
Oil octopus out of business,
civil service agents of the agri-
cultural department are to be
sent into the rural regions to
teach the farmer how to distill
the stuff at price that will
make him independent of the

1t is always best to distrust
acts of congress that are herald
ed as sovereign remedies for
poverty. AS a general PROPOSE
ton and some very great men
have so held-an act of congress
is promotive of poverty.

The dual and trina rtite

The dual and tripartite alliance,
that was reported to have existed
up to the time of the Minot con-
vention between Senator Hansbrough
and Congressman Marshall, and in
which the forces of former Congress
man Johnson were also included at
the time Of the convention, all in
an effort to control the selection of
national committeeman and dele
gates to the national convention,
which proved unsuccessful, appears
to have ended with the convention,
from the manner in which Senator
'Hansbrough's Times reaches down
into Dickey county and claims credit
for the location of a weather sta
ton for Senator Hansbrough. This
is indeed carrying the war into
Africa. 1t would seem that the
courtesy that should obtain between
representatives in congress would
permit each to claim credit for what
ever comes to his home county, no
matter what are the facts. But in
this strenuous campaign, all rules
seem to be suspended and Senator
Hansbrough's claiming ground
knows no limit. The building which
Glendale gets will cost something
like $4,000 of $4,000 and conveys
to the people of the state some idea
of the enormous congressional in
fluence of whoever pried this vast
sum loose from the federal treasury.
The bill must have gotten through
the house, SO Congressman Marshall
perhaps had some small bit to do
with it after all, but the credit for
originating the plan, discovering
that there was weather at Glendale
that needed to be reported, and maxi
ing the other first discoveries is
claimed by the Times for Hans
brough. If the Glendale people get
ia better grade of weather after the
station is established, they will know
to whom the credit belongs, but alas!
The primaries will then be over and
the station might as well not have
been established at all. If Cong
ressman Marshall gets down into
Glendale and finds particularly
cold wind he will know that it is
Senator Hansbrough's weather bu-
reau blowing at him.

POLITICAL COMMENT
Not Born In Iowa.

Steele Herald: The Herald re-
Gently stated that Col. futile was
born in Iowa. This was slight mis-
statement o the facts, the Colonel
having been born in New York state.
We knew that he had lived in Iowa
for good many years, and he is
broad-minded and possesses so many
of those excellent attributes and
abilities characteristic of so many
of Iowa's sons, that it was natural
mistake. Anyway, the fact that he
wasn't born in Iowa is the worst
thing that we can say of him.
