If not the best, but usually the very
best. But what of the men who own
nothing, save perhaps some furniture
and clothes, and, alas! alas! fami-
ly! Men who are caught in the mael-
strow Of great city, where, under
normal conditions, all kinds of labor,
skilled and unskilled, is in constant
demand, and where one hundred
others are greedily waiting for such
positions as soon as those occupying
them for any reason drop out. Sup
pose normal conditions do not exist,
and through some industrial parox-
ysm, thousands of men are thrown
out, Of work who lia ge saved nothing
for rainy day out Of salary barely
sufficient to meet the needs Of a grow
ing family, in a climate where heavy
clothing and expensive fuel are neces-
sites. What can be done by any of
these9 There is n, money with
which to defray expenses to other
points In search Of work, even could
it be found there, for similar condi-
tions are likely to exist IN most cell
ters at the same time. In fact. az
most all cities now have a perpetual
army Of unemployed How are the
needs of a family to be met at such
a time? Many a philanthropist has
thought Of and mentioned the wide
waste areas in fertile, sunny Florida,
and has dreamed an Utopian dream
of importing hither the hungry
hordes of some over populated city,
but the project has seldom got be-
yond dream, for there are some
real practical reasons that doom it
to failure.
Most men would rather bear the
ills they have than fly to others that
they know not of; so the clerk, the
factory hand, the machinist and other
skilled tradesmen turn their faces to
the roar and rage of the mighty city
that they know and understand, and
refuse to take the, to them, great risks
of a removal a farm under condi-
tions absolutely unfamiliar. IF Mr.
Greene's farm should become unpro-
ductive, or he be unable from some
cause to operate it, would he consent
to go to China, or India, or Paris, or
London, to begin life over again at a
trade new and untried by him? No.
He'd wait for the next season to come
along, and exc out a miserable, wait
ing existence in the Bread Line first.
The Bread Line is horrible real
ity, even to man who is. supposed
to be "the arbiter of his own fate, :"
and thousands of them are today
standing there, waiting, waiting al
most hopelessly for the pitiful NOR
sci to take home to a shivering,
gaunt-eyed wife, and pale, ill-clad
children. He may be strong, healthy,
capable, honest, but not being in con-
troll of industrial conditions, and hav-
ing not foot of land he can call his

Day by day | have seen "the man.
come home, pale, desperate, silent
afraid, it seemed, tc meet the hope
full gaze of wife and children; house
rent due; food and clothing going,
going, gone; fuel exhausted, and then
no money! No money, no work, no
food, no house-nothing but a sor-
rowful wife and some timid little
children-and a pistol!
Suppose the next one in the Bread
Line is woman! Yea, a woman,
Mr.. Greene-a woman with children,
too. Can't believe it? Let me tell
you, it IS true. For two years I have
been in the Bread Line Not cent
earned in two years, and not owning
dollars worth Of property. Try
for work? Tried everywhere. Does
not it seem strange that an intelli-
gent, cultured, refined, good woman,
a trained business woman of ability
and experience, can't get work any
where? That is strange. Why is
it so? Nv sure [ cannot say, unless
it be that "the night cometh when
no man can work" Suppose this
condition become universal. Suppose
the human race become an unemplov-
ed army. A very great stretch of the
imagination is not necessary to con-
ceive it.
How easy it is to bring about
strike" in certain industrial de-
partment, SO that during the strike
thousands are out Of work. Suppose
all Called" trades, all sympa-
thetic trades, in fact, all
industries, should Emerge" and make
a universal strike! Mr.. Greene and
few others who own farms might not
suffer so much as some others who
own nothing, but no doubt he, too,
would soon come to know the Bread
Line In the concrete.
Yes, have stood in the Bread Line
and the 'bread Of charity is bit
ter" Some Of the millions of mon
ey spent on the foreign missions fake
would set me up in a business that
would soon be able to pay for itself,
and support me and mine; but most
people seem to forget that "whoso
giveth to the poor lendeth to the
Lord" Maybe they think the Lord
won't pay interest on, or will for
get what they so ''lendeth," hence
they prefer to ''give'' outright to the
heather, to be seen and heard of
men," whether the heather respond
or not.
Don't harry Mr. Watson any more
on the "Foreign Mission" ground he
occupies. He at least is doing all
he can in the ''home mission" field,
and besides, good common sense and
honesty on the subject, he has the
Scripture with him also.

: AT THE GEM

. Commencing with today's matinee
the Gem theater will put on another
of its popular programs in advanced
vaudeville and latest and newest of
animated pictures. The animated pic
lures include scenes and subjects
from the best of artists of this and
foreign countries.
For the first part of the weeks vail
deville there are such artists as the
Del Costa Duo in refined and high
class singing, an act that is sure to be
pleasing to all-1overs of up-to-date
and classic singing, and 1.-THE Dun
bars" ina pleasing sketch entitled,
Father and the Girl" These acts
are both top-notchers in vaudeville
and come here highly recommended.
The animated picture program is
every bit as strong as the vaudeville,
showing over two thousand feet of
the latest productions of motion pic
lures, featuring such subjects as 1.-THE
Jealous Fisherman" a drama which
is laid in a little seaport town on the
coast of France, showing the opening
scene of the home Of a young woman
who is being courted by two sturdy
fellows of the village, who are rivals
for the affections Of charming miss.
'"The Substitute" the selni-comedy
subject, is q scream and a hit wher-
ever shown. Crack Riders Of the
Russian Cavalry is a picture that
will please every one. In all the
countries on the globe they are prone
to boast of the cavalry and we'll they
may, but when one sees this picture
of the Russians on horseback they
must admit that the cavalry OF that
country is one OF the most wonderful
ly trained In the world. Paris as
Seen from Height of 1900 Feet" is
a unique picture that was taken from
a baollon sailing over Paris and gives
a good birdseye view of the city with
it's magnificent boulevards and parks
and 1.-THE Seine" winding its peaceful
way through the surrounding country.
The illustrated song, Don't Take
Me Home" has been a hit through all
the eastern houses and Is a comedy
song, sure to please here.
AS they have now installed a new
electric ventilating system, which
clears the house of all impure air in
from three to four minutes, everyone
is assured of being in a house well
heated as we'll as well ventilated.

HARD WORKERS..

The members of the lower house
of the legislature are to be congrat
ulated upon the expedition with which
they are turning out work and in this
they are not little assisted by the
speaker. Mr.. Burdick has an excel
lent grasp of parliamentary usage
and in great many ways rushes
business which might otherwise take
up lot of useless time in mo,
tons and discussions. 1t is also no.
ticed that motions to adjourn for sew
eral days at time are non persona
grata to a majority of the house, as
resolutions to that end get a short
shift nowadays. A comparison OF
the journals of the present house and
those of previous sessions shows
that work is further advanced than
is usual, especially at sessions where
a United States senator is to be cleo
ted. The fact that the primary cleo
ton of the senator took the matter
entirely out of the hands of the leg
1slature, so to speak, made it possible
for both houses to buckle down to
work from the start. What is said
Of the house is equally true of the
senate, both bodies being imbued
with a full sense of their duty.

THE BURNS CELEBRATION

The biennial celebration at the
armory Monday night, of the anniver.
sary of the birth of Robert Burns,
the Scotch poet, will be one of the
best they have ever given here. Miss
Sinclair and Archie tombstone are
general favorites at Scotch celebra-
tons all over the northwest. Mr..
Meikle is famed all over Canada for
his rendering of Scotch songs. Rev.
Donald Mckenzie of Minneapolis, is
one of the best pulpit orators in that
city and his address on Burns is high
ly spoken of by all who have heard
it. Donald Mcdonald of this city,
will render on the violin, the Blue
Bells of Scotland, with variations.
The program will be followed by a
dance in which all are invited to par
ticipate. The clans will be out in
full force.
The performance will begin at 8
p. M, and everybody is invited. Tick
cts are on sale at Cowan's drug store
and Richholt's candy emporium.

WANT MORE ROOMS.

The Commercial club has secured a
number of rooms wherein to quarter
the hardware men who will be COM
ing in the next few days, and yet
desire more sleeping space for them,
so any others who have rooms to let
for three or four days will confer a
favor by reporting them to the Com
mercial club, or to Secretary Young.
The club officers request that any
of the hardware delegates in the city
or who may come from day to day,
will please report at the club rooms
On Third street, that they may be
entertained and registered. The club
will see that all are taken care of
and given a good time during their
stay in the city.

A STATEMENT.

The Bismarck Lecture Course as
sociation desire to make the following
statement relative to changing the
place of Gov. Hanley's lecture, the
next number of the course, from the
Atheneum to the Presbyterian church.
The committee expected, and so stat
ed, that all plumbers would be given
at the Atheneum. Since the course
began the management of the Athen-
cum have raised the floor of the audi
forum, thereby limiting the Seating
capacity to such an extent that prac-
tically only the holders of season
tickets can be accommodated, to the
exclusion of the general public.
In view of this fact, and realizing
that there are in the city a large
number Of senators and representas-
tives from all over the state who
wish to hear Gov. Hanley, the COM
mittee feel justified in making this
change which will provide seats for
two hundred more than could ibe a,c-
comodated at the Atheneum.
This will make the reservation OF
seats impractfcable, though provision
will be made so that all who come
will be comfortably seated, and is in
the judgment of the committee, the
only. solution of the problem.

LECTURE COURSE.

The next number of the Bismarck
Lecture Course will be given at the
Presbyterian church, Friday evening,
Jan. 20 at $3.50 o'clock. The attrac-
ton will be Gov. Hanley of Indiana,
whose place as an orator is very close
to the top, some Of his audiences
placing him on an equality with VIM.
j. Bryan. There will be no reserved
seats but ample accommodation will be
provided for all who attend. See the
statement of the committee in an

italian Olive OIL.

With the exception Of Piedmont,
olive oil is produced in practically
every part of Italy. The crop is sub
ject, however, to very radical varia-
tons. The regular biennial recur-
renee Of the so-called annata vuota
(empty Year, and the often unex.
pected appearance in various sections
Of the olive fly, against the ravages
of which no adequate remedy has yet
been found, account in large meas
ure for these variations. In 1905 the
production reached a total Of 90,134.-
800 gallons, while In 1899, owing to
the exceedingly grave damage caused
by the olive fly, the crop damage
caused by the olive fly, the crop
amounted to only 22.8s2.790 gallons.
