CHANCE FOR A BIBLIOPHHE.

Full of Historical Material.
Here is an opportunity for some rich
collector of books, or for some library
that likes to place upon its shelves
tones which are valuable as records Of
bygone days, says the New York World.
The opportunity in question is book
believed by it's present owner to be the
only copy in existence, which was print
ed in Osnaburg, Germany, in 1925 It
is valuable not so much for it's age as
for the wealth of historic material it
contains.

Osnaburg, the first Saxon-Germanic
church, from it's foundation by Charlie
magne, in 772 A. D. 1t relates his

Hohenzollern, cardinal of the Holy Ro-
man church, and Francis William,
Count of Wartenberg, successfully oc-
cupied the see.
Second, the acts, canons, statutes and
DEGREES of the synods and councils Of
the church held at Alemania, Cologne
and Osnaburg in 1925, 1860, 1910, 1922,

thenticated by notarial certificates.

Fifth, the ceremonial of the assem-
bly, Of the major synod of Osnaburg,
1923, and the historic sermon of Pater
Gulielmus Aschendorf, S. ]. "De vitus
| precedentibus temporibus enatis ct
| adhue durantibus."
The book belonged in 1913 to the
great library of the Bollandists at Ant
werp. On the title page, in the hand
writing of Father Jean de Bolland, the
illustrious ancient" are the words :
''Domus prof. Soc. Jesu, Antwerp,
| 1643." blouse of the professed Of the
Society Of Jesus, Antwerp, 1643.)
When the Bollandists were expelled
| by Joseph II. Of Austria, their library
was seized and sold at auction. It was
purchased for the monastery of st. Nor
bert at Tongerloo. When these monas-
| tics were afterward driven out by the
French revolutionists, their library was
pillaged and the book came into the
possession Of Father Jean Francois Van
de Velde, s. j., president of the Uni
versity Of Louvain. His autograph Ia

leadership of the Republican organization
of New York in two banquets, the first
at Albany. attended by most of the party

There was news item published in
the dallies during the last week to the
effect that among other extensions that
the Milwaukee intends to run branch
from Fargo to Winnipeg. We have al
ways wondered why the Milwaukee just
came t. the end of the Red river valley
and stayed there. 1t was said on good
authority in the early days that an
agreement was made to, this effect by
the managers. Perhaps that agreement
has been outlived and broken now that
the Milwaukee has become transcon-
tinental line.

1t Is the earnest desire of the G. A. r.
who instituted the beautiful custom of
decorating the graves of deceased COM
rades with flowers on the Both of Nav.
that the custom may be made general'
not only to decorate the graves of veter-
ans of the civil war, but that the g1aves
of all the dead may be remembered
whether they were soldiers or not. They
are glad to see fraternal societies thus
remember their deceased brethren and
the town and village people their rela-
tlves and their cemeteries. Particularly
do the veterans desire that all school
children be taught the lessons of the
day by such exercises as the teachers
and school authorities may see appropri-
ate, But the veterans do regret to see
the day made into sort of good times
general holiday for ball game, etc.

The InterschoIastic Meet.

The InterschoIastic Meet.
The meeting of the high school ath-
letics of this comfy which occurred
here on Saturday was an occasion of
much interest and good feeling. There
was fair representation and the sue
cess of this meeting will do much to
make future occasions even more sue
cessful. The day was overcast and
chilly but the rain which threatened
held off all day. The work of the con-
testants was very good and we'll up to
the average of even the university class
of athletes. Ga the same day at Grand
Forks, Hamline and the N. d. u. we're
engaged in the same kinds of contests.
and for comparison we give some of the
results there. Hamline winning by SO

The pole vaulting of James and Derby
of Bathgate and the hammer throwing
of Whitson of Drayton was especially
good. The Crystal boys were outclsssed
in size. We understand that all the boys
in the high school we're here, five in
number, and did good work for their in
ches. While Pembina naturally had the
more entries, yet as they were not enter
ed in some events at all and the number
of firsts and seconds they took, shows
that what they got was duly earned.
The state records of last years high
school meet at Grand Forks for pole
vault 8 it. inch and for hammer throw

HE KNOWS.

There are some people who just
won t like the local editor, no
matter what his religion, politics
or standing may be. They have
made up their minds that they
are not going to like him and that
settles it. There is another class
(Lord pity their poor little shrivel-
ed up souls) who have figured it
out that the editor is a low down
sort of a cuss and not fit for them
to associate with, and as to visit
ing the editor s family, they could
not for a moment think of such a
thing. Try as hard as we may, we
cannot overcome these precon-
ceived notions of some people.
But we know a few things. We
know who likes us, and who don t
we know who appreciates the
work we are trying to do, and
who don It; we know who encour-
ages and helps us, and who back
bits and throws stumbling blocks
in our way; we know who charit-
ably criticises us for them-in
fact we know lots of things that
we have never told, and perhaps
never will, and we know some peo-
pie who ought to be mighty glad
Of it.

and could not have taken cogniz-
ance of the above psychological
discoveries. Hence, adjustment
and emission become faulty. They
all took for granted, free twill"
and consequent responsibility.
Upon this understructure they
built up these sanctuaries. 1t is
therefore, not mere wanton in
difference, which seems in our
days to threaten all religions, it
is rather the crumbling away Of
the ancient foundation, of the an
cient philosophy in which con-
science (the so called voice of
God) the will of responsibility
were the cornerstones, that will
cause this downfall.
But new and better information
received by the Cerebrum will
make possible better adjustment,
better reasoning, and they both
combined, will cause better and
stronger emission, that is, more
desirable changes in the environ
ment.

I VERSUS WE.

Was it Montaigne who wrote
"Men are like their shadows,
sometimes longer and sometimes
shorter than the object itself?"
Some men talk 81" when they

Self effacement is a very lovable
trait.
The use Of 81" is recognized
