ORIGIN Of the Loving Cup.

Our modern loving cup doubtless Is
derived from the cup used in a queer
custom which had its birth amidst the
gallantry of the middle ages. The
guests were placed two and two. man
and woman together, and they drank
from the same cup. and ate from the
same dish, which was called "eating
in the same porringer." In families
the same goblet served for all. Saint
Berlanda's daughter washed her ia
theirs goblet before drinking from it.
on the pretense that he was leprous,
which so exasperated the saint that
he disinherited his daughter.-Nation

Russia and the Shah.

The Russian government has Just
kept their word to remain neutral IN
the struggle between Mahomed All
and his subjects. . At a ma
tional council held recently the Shah
was formerly deposed, his son, All
Mira, elected in his place, and a re-
gent appointed. We trust that the
reign OF the new Shah will be happier
and more beneficial to his country
than that of his father and g~randfath-
er. The way in which the Anglo-Rus'
sian understanding has stood the test
of the difficulties of the last few days
enables us to face the future with con.
fidence. The old rivalry between the
two powers, which did so much to
keep Persia in a state of unrest. will
no longer stand in the way of re
| form. And, however Persians may
! quarrel among themselves, their dis
| putes will not be allowed to set Eng
land and Russia at variance.-Londor

No Wrong Was Intended.

Kenmare, N. D., April 10. 1909.
Editor of the Bowbells Tribune:'
Dear Sir: In the April 18th issue of
The Tribune 1 read an item which
credited Pete Bertelson of Kenmare
with turning down an application for a
subscription in aid of the fire depart
ment of that city. Now, anyone who
is at all acquainted with Mr.. Bertelson
would know at once, that the state
ment is false, as there is not business
man in Kenmare that will do more for
the upbuilding and protection of the
city than Mr.. Bertelson will and always
has done. and when you learn the facts
of the case think you will readily see
and are gentleman enough to acknowl-
edge that an apology is due Mr.. Bertel-
son through the columns of The Tribune
in its next issue.

APPRECIATES
M'CUMBER.
His Work in Behalf of the Old Soldier and
the farmer Deserves Praise,
Says Colonel Morton.
(Fargo Forum.)

Fargo Forum.)
"A week or ten days ago number
of gentlemen and myself wrote Senator
McCumber urging his good Offices in be-
half of the farming interests of the
state, that no harm might come to us
because of the reduction in the tariff
on barley" said Colonel Morton today.
"Yesterday l received letter from
the senator. assuring me of his earnest
efforts in behalf of keeping the duty
on barley where it is now.
Il have on several occasions found
it necessary to secure the senator's in
tervention in matters before one of the
departments, and his prompt response
to my requests have been very crafty
ing to me, and just here wish to say
that the old soldiers of the state are
under every obligation to Senator Nc
Cumber for his influential services in
their behalf. AS chairman of the pen
sion committee in the senate, Mr.. Nc
Cumber has been able to do a great
deal for the old soldiers and every last
one of us should appreciate it to the
full.
81 have in mind one case particular
ly. A civil war veteran who served
through the war Of the rebellion with
distinction, came to the territory of
Dakota nearly thirty years ago, and
until suddenly stricken with disease
was very successful as farmer, but
being absolutely helpless, he could not
give proper attention to his affairs and
but for the pension to which he was en-
titled. he would have been in actual
need.
''The matter was referred to Senator
McCumber, who had special act pass
ed for this splendid old soldiers relief,
and there was no unnecessary delay
about it.
"Whi)e they are tinkerlng with the
tariff, l, for one, am mighty glad that
Senator McCumber is in charge of our
interests at the capital"

M. C. (Mike) Collins, the well-known
trainer whom President Richardson of
the Great Northern Racing Circuit was
fortunate in securing from St. Paul, is
now located at the Bowbells track with
six of as good and promising horses as
the Northwest affords, as follows:
"Bonnie Wilkes" owned by J. E..
Tate, and which last season became
SO great favorite with our people
through his grand showing wherever
and on whatever circuit he appeared.
He got a mark then of 2:15 S-4, and if
appearances go for anything Bonnie"
will be able to carry the Bowbells
colors to victory in his class again this
season.
doctor IT," recently purchased at
long price by three of Bowbells' best
known business men. This handsome
animal is certainly a fine, strong going
PAGER, with mark of 2:l9 Ia, though
he is lots faster than his mark and
should, and undoubtedly will give good
account of himself in the 2:20 pace the
coming season.
"Helendale," another green trotter
that Mr.. Collins is working, and owned
by H. L. Richardson, has lots of speed
and looks like real race prospect.
"Dakota Belle" Frank Lyons good
green PAGER, is also being handled by
Mr.. Collins, and "Belle" can certainly
step fast enough right now to convince
the most skeptical that she is race
horse in every sense implied by that
term.
Cluster Martin" is green gelding
that is showing good speed, of which
he is evidently possessed of lots, and
Mr.. C. has every confidence that he
will make handsome showing later in
the season.
"Skido, the nice little gray gelding
owned by Gilbert Juve, with mark of
2:24 ia, is coming ON in great shape
and looks like the real stuff for the
2:25 class. 10. :. 70.
Ia. W. zKnapp,is also located at ths
track, with his partner, Mr., Gates
with q half dozen head Of classy PAGERS
and trotters, all of which will be heard
from when Walt gets: ready to show
the boys just what hes got. = "

CORRECTION,

1t is true that an item, for which we
now know there was no warrant in
fact, appeared in The Tribune of last
week in relation to Mr.. Bertelson and
his alleged refusal to patronize some
entertainment having for it's object a
benefit to the fire department of our
neighboring city. But it was not our
intent to put our friend Bertelson,
whom we respect as an honorable busi-
ness man, in any bad light before the
readers of The Tribune, the item in
question being intended more as a joke
than otherwise; but as we are informed
that there are some who have used the
harmless squib to make stock against
Kenmare's foremost business man, we
hasten to make due. amends by repeat
ing that nothing could have been fur
ther from our thoughts in publishing
what we did than injury to gentleman
who enjoys the confidence and esteem
of not only the editor of The Tribune,
but also of the multitude who have
business dealings. with him every day
in the year j.. -. - So, 80 -.

a bill he has introduced in a previous
Congress and which will follow the lines
of the latest legislation in states and
cities of this country.
This bill, he said, will be referred to
subcommittee of the District committee
for careful investigation. He said that
he did not anticipate other legislation at
fecting the schools during the coming
winter.
The recommendations of the Commits
sioners for the adoption of a new form Of
budget for the municipality and for a new
plan for financing the District. with par
ticular reference to the completion Of
proyement, he said, are familiar to him
in general way. But he desires fur
ther investigation and consideration of
them. he said, before expressing an
opinion as to any advantages they may
possess over the present plan. While
they may be good plans, he said, Con-
eress is slow to adopt innovations with
out careful investigation.
, Bills affecting the sale of liquor in the
National Capital are anticipated by the
chairman. He said he did not know
what action would be taken by the Dis
trict committee or by Congress.
The senator announced that the poncy
of the committee in giving hearings on
important questions which come before it
will be continued during the coming ses-
sion. with justifiable pride. he has been
