Named BY North oakot. Girl.

Shortly before the hour set for the
Launching, while the wedges were
being driven In to lift the weight from
the ground to the sliding ways, the
naming party, led by Rear Admiral
Bowles. president of the shipbuilding
company, made its way through the
crowd and assembled the launching
stand. The sponsor. Miss Mary Ben
ton. daughter of Col. John ID. Benton
of Fargo, \. d., received an ovation,
as did also Governor John Burke and
other members of the North Dakota
party
The launch of the big vessel was
entirely successful, and was witnessed
by an immense crowd. When the
word was given and the great mass of
steel began to move majestically
down the creased ways for the initial
plunge into its native element. Miss
Benton dashed against the prov
bottle of wine decorated with the
national colors. As she did so she
exclaimed, in firm tones:
Il christen thee North Dakota!'
great wave of enthusiasm swept
over the crowd of spectators as the
ceremony was performed.
Down in the crowd and up on the
stand men and women waved hats
and handkerchiefs. while thousands OF
threats joined in the wild cheering
which greeted the new queen of the
seas. Shril whistle blasts from the
nearby factories and the fleet of tug
boats assembled in the river joined
in the chorus, aud almost drowned
the notes OF the national anthem, val
iantly played by the band

the ship, will be two more twelye-inch
gun turrets, the guns of the forward
turret in this pair firing over the roof
OF the after turret Abaft and near
the stern will be the fifth and last of
the big turrets. Naval men declare
that no navy in the world will possess

For repelling torpedo attack. the
North Dakota will carry secondary
battery of fourteen five-inch guns.
These guns are all to be mounted

CURIOUS FACTS ABOUT WOMEN.
 Nowadays we see many articles writ ten by women to prove that in good ness. intellectual capacity and even physical strength. they are the equals, if not the superiors of men.
 Yet, in all my experiences, have never met a woman who would not as -' sert that her husband was better ana wiser and more admirable in every way than herself. If you deiicately Intimate to a man that his wife, though a sweet, pretty little creatures ought to be profoundly grateful for drawing such a prize in the matri- rnonial lottery as Himself (witn capital H) he will smile deprecatinsiy, but approvingly, upon you If a woman and speak of you forever after as person of discernment and sound Judgment. who g'1xnows a good thing when she sees 1t. Sir" But IT you value a wornans friendship. or dread that feminine weapon of defense or offense, a snub. advise you not 70 make a similar remark to a mar ried woman apropos of her husband. He may be slightly less attractive looking than his Darwinian ancestor, and but little more gifted in the mat ter of brains. yet shes will become your enemy for life If you lnslnua.e that she might have oone ~ ~ the choice of 8 life partner. Tn iace the posseSxor of such a husband holds him up On every occasion as modei for imitation. She quotes his utter ances with an air of calm cef1ainly that they embody the concentrated es- sence of all earthly wisdom-an ar that makes listeners long to drop the mask of polite deference which civilized people wear on such trying occasions, and treat her to a candid unbiased estimate of her spouse. But aIasl custom doth make towards of us all, and they continue to suffer in Silence while the fond wife bores them with circuFnstantial accounts of what John does and says-apparenuy fully persuaded that John Is an oracle who casts in the shade Plato and solomon and Roosevelt, and all other prodi- ries of wisdom. living or dead.
