Poor Mother Eve.

"Dr. Emil Reich is now saying that
the American woman can't under
stand genius. That doesn't preclude
her from understanding him.
The speaker, a Colony club woman,
frowned.
"Dr. Reich" she said, "is anything
but a genius, though abroad the WON
en- do fawn on him. Here we treated
him as a lightweight with a slight gift
OF humor. He didn't like it. Hence
his structures on us.
Il admit" she resumed, that DR..
Reich is now and then rather funny.
Once, for example. I heard him say at
a dinner, apropos of woman's vanity:
Mother Eve must have been ter.
ribly put out not to be able to hold a
small pail of water in front of her
when she stood with her back to a
pool and tried to see if her hair was
properly done up behind."-Boston

PLOT TO WRECK FLYER FoILED.
500 Coast Trains Hardness Saves
Loss of Life,

Minot.-But for a slight accident,
which delayed the west bound 500
flyer some thirty minutes, there might
AVE been a wreck which would have
resulted in an immense loss of life
and property.
A freight train, which was released
at Sawyer owing to the hardness OF
the flyer, ran into a pile of ties three
miles this side Of Sawyer, but owing
to the slow speed none of the cars
left the track.
An investigation showed that TWEEN,
ty-five ties had been piled across the
track in an evident attempt to wrcci;
the fast train.
The obstruction was cleared away
and track walkers were used for tho
remainder of the time elapsing before
the flyer went through.
The authorities are at work on the
case, but SO far no clue has been Gis-
covered. Had the flyer encountered
the obstacle its great speed would
have resulted in a fearful wreck.

off Days.

1t is good to know that our "off
days" are recognized and apologized
for, if there is no accounting for them,
by a Viennese physician. This au.
tbority describes Dad days" as
periods when one suffers, without any
appreciable cause, from headache or
other physical ills, or perhaps only
from lassitude or nervous irritability
He suggests that the sufferer should
go into the country. If it is summer
let him lie in a lonely field and think
of nothing but the cows. But also he
should not eat meat" In other words,
the cure for an "of day. is a "day
off," Some, without doubt, have, in
their own minds, at least, already
formed a belief in the virtue of this
remedy, even if they have not always
been able to justify themselves in
taking it.

IN STRANGE COMBAT
NEW ENGLANDER FOUGHT sLooP
OF WAR slNGLE-HANDED.
Remarkable Engagement That Took
Place in Beverly Harbor in 1775
British Commander Finally
Glad to Withdraw.

In Beverly harbor, off the point on
which President Taft will make his
summer home, a picturesque engage
ment of the revolution was fought.
A quiet autumn day in 1775 Deacon
Joseph Stephens, happily storing his
golden harvest of corn, was startled by
a n ball that crashed through the
wall of his barn and knocked the nigh
wheel from his favorite chaise.
A loud boom came up from the har-
Dor. With it, the deacon's indignation
rose to fighting point. Dropping his
corn fork and selling his musket, he
ran to the water front to punish who
eve it was that had damaged his We
hicle. He threw himself behind the
huge powders of Washington street
beach. Thrusting his musket through
a crevice, he opened fire on the enemy,
the British ship of wal Nautilus. For
a while the strange and unequal n
gagement of one man against a ship
OF war was maintained.
Gunners of the Nautilus not being
able to see the deacon behind his huge
natural fortress, turned their guns
upon a more shining mark, and fired
upon the town, making the spire of
the Old South church their special
target.
In the line of fire lived a stout dame,
who was baking bread when the can-
mons began to boom. She had just
put a batch of bread into the oven,
and she refused to move, even though
the entire British force came. Curl
osity got the better of her determine
ton, however. She peeked out to see
what was going on. A cannon ball
whizzed by. She turned in terror and
fled, and she did not stop running un-
til she was in the depths of,the deep
est valley on Rial side.
Minutemen hurried to REINFORCE the
deacon. Cannoneers manned the guns
on Hospital point, Beverly, and on fort
Lee at Salem Willows. A O fire of
m balls and a sprinkling Of mus
ket bullets was poured into the Nau.
titus. The privateer Pilgrim, in pur.
suit of which the Nautilus had come
into n harbor, a around the corner
Of Hospital point into shallow waters,
and was safe from pursuit. es
In his eagerness for, prey the Brit
ish captain forgot the falling tide.
When the fire upon him made his po-
sition uncomfortable he gave orders to
withdraw, but the falling tide had left
his ship fast aground.
For a while the Yankees made a tar
get of the Nautilus. But the guns and
cannons Of the time We're not armor
piercing, no even oak plank piercing
at a range of half a nile. So practice
in craftsmanship and what pleasure
there was in shooting at an enemy
was all that the Yankees got for their
efforts.
When the tide rose the Nautilus put
out to sea. Deacon Stephens went
back home and mended the nigh wheeI
of his favorite chaise and the stout
dame returned home and took the
bread from the oven.

PUBLIC HEALTH
LABORATORY
TO PREVENT SPREAD OF coNTA-
GlOUS DISEASES AND
TYPHOID.
At THE STATE UNIVERSITY
Work Nearly Doubled in the Past
Year-NearIy Four Thousand
Specimens Examined
This Year.

BY means of delicate archaeological
tests it is possible within twenty-four
hours after the examination is begun
to determine positively whether the
patient has %diphtheria, typhoid fever,
or tuberculosis, even though the dis
ease be in its most incipient stage or
mildest form, and even though the
general symptoms of the patient fail
to give the slightest hint Of it's pres
ence. This knowledge enables the
physician to give direct positive treat
ment before the disease reaches it's
more dangerous stages and makes it
possible for him to protect the COM
munity by Quarantining the person
before the unsuspecting public
have been unduly exposed. This is
q work that the local physician can
not do because it requires a fully
equipped laboratory, which they can
not afford, a considerable time which
they cannot take from their general
practice, and for the most trustworthy
results the work should be done by
a skilled bacteriologist who devotes
his time to that kind of work.
Most of the different states, as
we'll as many of the larger cities, have
provided Public Health Laboratories
to do this work. The North Dakota
Public Health Laboratory located at
the University vas opened July LIST,
1907. During the first year of it's ex-
tstence 1t examined a total of 1928
specimens. The past year, which
closed June Both, it examined 1928
specimens, or nearly twice as many
as during the preceding year. This
shows the growing demand for such
an institution in the state. The spe-
cimens consisted of 903 throat cul-
lures which were examined for diph-
liberia bacilli, 801 specimens of spu-
tum examined for tubercle bacilli, SAB
specimens Of blood for typhoid fever,
l48 specimens of tissue removed at
operations to determine if it were
cancer, 100 specimens of pus for the
kind of bacteria causing s%uppuration,
212 samples of water to determine if
1t is safe for. drinking purposes, 4
dogs heads for evidence of rabies,
and other miscellaneous work. 1t
provides physicians and health officer
free of charge, with suitable outfits
for taking and shipping specimens,
and no charge Is made for the exam.
nation. The results from specimens
that were not properly taken would
be not only unreliable, but misleading
and harmful, for that reason the la.
boratory will not examine specimens
sent in by other persons than physic-
ians and health officers.

INDIANS READY FOR CONGRESS.
Five Thousand Red Men Attend Con-
clave at st. Michael's.

Devils Lake.-On the shores of Dew
lis Lake, seven miles from the city,
the North Dakota Chautauqua Associ-
ton began its annual assembly, this
being the seventeenth meeting. The
program arranged for the session is
the best. An innovation has been the
introduction of a lighter vein of
amusement, verging on the vaudeville
order, and judging from the attend
ance, the change will prove popular.
DR.. George Hindley, well-known in
Chautauqua work, has charge of the
platform again this year, it being his
eighth appearance at the North Da-
kota assembly. Some splendid days
have been arranged, such as Scandi-
navian day, w. G.. T. U. Grand Rally
day, Independent Telephone Associa-
ton Farmers day, Good Roads Con-
v%ention, Indian day, etc. The last
named promises to be of nor than
usual interest on account of the pres
ence on the Fort Totten reservation
of thousands of Indians from remote
reservations of the country, who are
here to attend the great Catholic In
dian Congress that begins on Sunday.
Many of them will break camp near
the old st. Michael's mission, where
the congress will be held, and will
come over to the Chautauqua for the
day.
There are encamped for the on
gress between $500 and 5000 Indians,
and 1000 or 5000 more are coming.
An added attraction for the later days
of the Chautauqua will be the annual
encampment of the North Dakota Ma
tional guard with a company of regu-
lars in charge of Colonial Stedman,
from Fort Lincoln, to assist in the
maneuvers.

Irish potato vine growing in the gar

On taking up the plant he found

fact that an unusually large number
of potatoes were found in their accus.
