this is merely evidence that the World

PHILOSOPHY OF PANIcs.

A panic is an evidence of the dissat-
isfaction of human nature in getting
along with what it needs and of hot
anxiety of getting more than it needs.
Prosperity does not diminish the dissat-
isfaction or anxiety, but increases them
rather. There is plenty of money, it
is easily borrowed, this enterprise is
suggested and that, and soon these en-
terprises fail, the supply of money is
cut off and there is your panic.
1t is actually born of prosperity, or
rather extravaganza, excuses and wild
enterprises that go with prosperity.
Bad times follow good times as the
night follows the day. Everybody who
knew anything knew this panic was
coming. 1t was predicted four or five
years ago; and almost the very time
was set. The conditions were ripening
for It; and the reasons for warrantfng
the predictions are sufficient for ac-
counting for it.-Ohio State Journal

FRON OTHER PENS
THE woRNNoUr PREACHER

With the purging of the ministry
that is slowly but surely going on
with it's increasing restriction to men
who know they have the message, as
evidenced by that very decline of can
didates for it so much lamented-
there should come new birth of re-
spect for the real preacher of the
gospel-for the man who must and
does preach the gospel because he
cannot be silent without feeling him
self a traitor to himself and to God.
And so the claims of the WORKOUT
preacher, whose devotion to his misr
sion and his message has led him to
live for his faith, and that alone.
through all the years until old age
comes, and he can do no more, are
pressing home to the hearts and souls
of men as they never did before.
They see that the wornout preacher
ia not a man who has failed, but
man who has succeeded in battle
nobler than any with material re-
wards, and that of him who has
fought the good fight and finished his
course the last days on earth should
be days of honor and peace.-Chicago

ALTRUISM IN THE BOOK TRADE.
One of the "best sellers" among the
autumn books is luridly advertised in
the New York papers. Don't buy 1t
in the morning." the public is advised,
for you will not be apt to do any
work till you finish reading" And
again: when you have read it through
you will probably read it over again to
make certain you have not skipped a
single word" Yet this remarkable
volume has reached a great sale with
out any splurge. you can bet with
certainty that when four editions are
demanded. without advertising, this
book must be unusually interesting"
How does it happen, if the sale was
so satisfactory, that the publishers are
now departing from their modest
policy? Perhaps they feel that they
are not justified in keeping quiet any
longer about it's merits. This is surely
altruistic on their part. Let us trust
that readers of the tale will not be
disappointed.-P Journal

Why Not Have a Ski Tourna-
ment !?

The writer was walking down
the street the other day when the
above question was uttered. Now
why not have one? Minot is a
cosmopolitan city and has a large
percentage Of her population
Scandinavians. And who from
Norway has not taken part in
this national sport?
Even in this country the sport
is becoming nationalin the colder
states. Wisconsin, Minnesota
and several other states have
from half a dozen to forty or fifty
we'll equipped local organizations.
It is not an unusual sight to see
many ladies participating and
how they go. Some down the
steepest hills as graceful as any
man, some even going over the
bumps, clearing them Is to 40 #.
And what constitutions they
have. A friend Of mine stated
that many have found the door
to matrimonial bliss open for
them in just this way.

North Carolinian Charged With seri
Gus Crime.

Frank Smith and his brother Zeb
created good deal OF excitement in
Jim Browns pool hall at Stanley, one
night last week, by shooting up the
place.
The brothers created a disturbance
in the place and were put out. They
shot thru the door several times, and
those inside took to cover. The re-
port that Constable Tom Miley had
eight holes shot thru his hat, is re-
ported to be not true. 1t is said that
Tom was not within gun shot Of the
place when the shooting occurred.
The Smith boys were placed under
bonds, which we're furnished, but in
the meantime Frank Smith was ar
rested by deputy U. S. marshall
charged with being an accessory to
the killing of a revenue officer and
a negro in North Carolina, some years
ago.
1t is said that the Smith oys were
engaged in the moonshining business
in North Carolina.
The county's case against the
young men was dismissed that Frank
might be taken to North Carolina
The bondsmen in this manner were
relieved, for the boys were to have
appeared in court Saturday.

There are a great many men from

ary science, feeds and feeding, breeds
and breeding, soil physics, stock
judging, cereal Judging and book
keeping. The parents Of the boys
seem to have learned from experience

sonally questioned a number of young
men on why they came to college,
and they invariably replied to learn
! subjects that are most practical from

jects are presented in the form OF
concrete lectures, supplemented by
practical work in the shops and labor

take notes on the lecture, and to
make observations on his laboratory
work. The note books must be sub

Frederick's father, Frederick Will
lam l., was most brutal old fellow,
treating his son almost as badly as
they treat the exiles in Siberia. Un-
able to endure such barbarity on the
part of his father, Frederick resolved
to run away and seek refuge at the
court of his uncle, George H., of Eng
land. Ready to assist him in his at
tempt were his two young friends,
Lieutenants Katie and Keith. BY the
imprudence of Katie the secret was
found out and Frederick was placed
under arrest. Keith escaped, but
Katie was tried by court-martial, SEN
fenced to death and executed. Fred
erick also was sentenced to death and

Supreme Court Chances,

The president of the United States
may be an uncrowned king, but there
is a power even greater than his, and
that Is the power of the Supreme
Court Of the United States. Within
the term Of the next presidency
there will in all probability be four
vacancies in the supreme court
which will be filed by appointment
by the president and these appoint
nents will in large measure deter
mine the future bias of the highest
judicial body In the country. There
are nine members of the supreme
court and their average age Is g.
four of them being 20 years and over

is 90. Three of these members
have been appointed by Roosevelt
during the last six years, but owing
to the great age of several Of the
members of the court it seems likely
that within the next presidential term
the rather unusual number Of four
vacancies will occur. Therefore, the
next presidential election will de-
termine not only who shall fill the
highest executive office in the land
but will also determine the political
and economic bent of the supreme
court.-Wall Stree Journal.

Great Contrast.

"A greater contrast could hardly be
furnished by modern nations than that
between the feet under Commodore
Perry, the presence of which In Japa-
nese waters exercised so profound an
influence on Japan's destiny at the
turning point in its career, and that
which is to call at Yokohama on its
long homeward voyage from the Pa
cific coast. The naval demonstration
of 1854 marked the beginning of the
relations Of Japan and the United
States, relations which in commerce
and diplomacy have been of unbroken
friendliness and mutual advantage.
There is no present reason to doubt
that the coming visit OF the feet,
with its impressive revelation of the
revolution which has taken place in
naval affairs in the half century and
more that has elapsed since Perry's
sidewheelers churned the waters of
the Bay Of Yeddo, will cement that
friendship and lead to a clearer ap-
probation on both sides of the i'm
portance OF preserving that happy
relation unbroken and untarnished
by distrust and uspicion.-Philadel-
