The history of Naples began more
than one thousand fifty years before
Christ. Today it is a busy city of over
600, 100 the largest in Italy, and l am
glad to note that many of its narrow,
squalid streets have been torn down, to
let in light and air and modern build
ings erected. The city has excellent
street car service, the fare varies from
one cent to three cents according to
class and distance. The cars all have
first class seats in the center with cush-
ions and second class at the ends with
out cushions. The number that can be
seated is stated plainly and when the
car is full sign is put up and no more
allowed to enter.
The nights are cool, but the. sun
shines all day and makes the day COM
Portable. The weather is ideal and we
are all reluctant to quit Naples, but we
are off today for Rome, five hours,
156 miles away.
Every city in Italy was once the capt.
tai of the surrounding country and
great palaces were built for the rulers.
These are now maintained by the king
at an extravagant expense. A king is
rather an expensive and I think unnec-
essary luxury, and one this country
can ill afford. It would be a grand
thing for the country if he would resign,
turn the vast revenues used to maintain
him and his retinues and palaces over
for the education of the children and
the advancement of agriculture.
If see him at Rome l may suggest
it to him. He is a very young man,
only twenty-three years old and fond of
automobiling and sport, and may be
tired of the old job. Who knows?

ANNIVERSARY DATE
FOR DEDICATION
Whitestone Battlefield Commission
Sets September Third as Date
for Memorial Exercises.
The Event Will Be Made Statewide
and Will Be Attended by Sur.
vivors Of the Fight.

The dedication of the Whitestone
battlefield monument will be held Sept.
3rd, the forty-sixth ami sersary of the
fight. The last legislature authorized
the sale by the commission of forty
acres of the GAO acres of land granted
by congress for park, the proceeds to
be used as special fund for fencing
and improving the tract, and to erect a
suitable monument to commemorate
the memory of those who died on the
battlefield of Whitestone hill in Dickey
county.
Some we'll known speakers will be
present at the dedication of the monu-
ment, and several survivors of that
memorable Indian battle are also ex-
pected to be present. The affair will
attract a state wide interest. The
fight is the most noted engagement
ever held in the state and occurred on
Sept. 3, 1863, between soldiers of the
U. S. army and Sioux Indians. The
remains of large number of the
soldiers were buried on the grounds.
The legislature of 1905 authorized the
appointment of commission of three
citizens of the state, whose duty it was
to have the battlefield enclosed and inn
proved, the graves marked and the
went properly recorded by monu-
ment. The occasion is one of historical
interest, and willfittingly commemorate
the passing of the savage race that,
not many years ago, were in possession
of the country. The practical ex-
tinction of the Sioux by the westward
progress of white civilization, was
marked with comparatively few TRACE
dies and bloody contests in North Da-
kota. considering the nature and the
number of tribes and the extent of
country from which they were driven.

oAkEs STATE HIGH SCHOOL

The attendance at school is keeping
up well to the close. The final tests
are appearing attractive at this time.
Some time ago the school board Sc
cured the services of DR.. Montgomery
of Minneapolis to deliver an address to
the people at the close of this school
year. The date set is Thursday even
ing, June 3rd. The graduating exer-
cises of the high school will be held on
Wednesday evening, June End.
All work at the school is progressing
nicely. Come and see. The pupils and
teachers are putting forth the best
efforts to make the school success in
every particular. Somewhere there
will be the best and it is in the air and
in the determination of all here that it
shall not be any where else than in
Cakes. Do your best.
The declamatory contest last Friday
evening was splendid success in the
matter of delivery on the part of the
contestants. The selections were ex-
cellent and the presentation was such
that it will hardly be excelled. All
present were more than surprised at
the excellence of the work. Dorothy
Brown won the decision and will repre-.
sent the school. at Grand Forks, May

ants, Frank Stanton, Ruth Nichols and
Dorothy Brown. 1t has been the Gus
tom Of the university to allow but one
contestant from each school so the
contest was to have been between these
three, but at the very last a letter wal
received stating that there might bt
two contestants from each school bo,
to represent the boys Of the severa
schools and girl to represent thu
girls. This decision Of the universit,
put new face on the state Of affair
so that the contest here was betweel
the girls and as no other boy had beer
in training Frank Stanton was the bo,
to represent Cakes. He will do it vel

If we have stopped to think of tbs
one great purpose for which men live
is to bring character to it's fullness
and perfection, to learn the lesson Of
living the life of goodness, truth and
loving service, to find the full life Of
each III the pomplete living of all.
When we bring this business Of
character development down to simple,
practical terms, it becomes real
thing to each of us, matter of daily
living, of meeting life's difficulties,
bearing its burdens, opposing its temp
tations, and somehow struggling out
through all into the best we know.
Often in that struggle for the high
er life, for the realization of our best
hopes and dreams of character, it
must be strange if, as seems to be the
case, there should be no definite rules
of procedure, if character grew by
chance or at haphazard. The question
recurs, as there any definite plan for
growing character?
hear spoken; it is seldom committed
to print, but it is everywhere. How
can | be that which | know l ought
to be? Many are the answers given;
most of them wholly disappointing
when tested by use, only leaving men
wishing they might learn tns business
of living as easily as they master
their business of a daily living.
Many are wasting time looking for
impaired goodness, for character by
cataclysmic changes in the life. Too
many are hoping that, going to bed
bad, that they will wake up wholly
| good; perhaps that is the reason so
many sleep in church, hoping to be-
| come saints in their slumbers. But
| character grows naturally; the max
ing of life does not violate the un-
varying laws of life.
The secret of being the best is being
steadily with the best. If you would
realize your ideals you must keep
| yourself in the presence of the ideals,
as they are already relied in other
persons or in other conditions. High
thoughts only come from the practice
! of high thinking. In our friendships
habits, customs we must live in the
! presence of the best.
If q man would be musician he
cannot afford to deluge his ears with
discords; if he would paint, he must
avoid chromos and color conflicts.
Both will gain more from the atmo-
sphere of great oratorios, symphonies,
and paintings than they can possibly
get from courses of study; the study
| they will need, but it win be vain
without this practice of the presence
of the best
Nowhere does this law Of growth,
according to environment and atmO-
sphere. hold more exactly than in the
realm of personal character. And,
most Of all, it holds here in the po-
tency of personality, in the power of
other lives through friendships and
daily communion to make our lives, TO
lead them out into fullness.
There are those in whose presence
it is easy to think low thoughts to
cherish ignoble ambitions there are
those with whom this is altogether
impossible, whose presence stirs the
best in us, whose nobility suggest yet
greater, fairer heights Of life We may
not be able always to choose our com
panions, but we can select our friends,
or at least open our lives only to those
that lead us out and up.

THROWING RED HOT RIvETs.
Spectacular Exhibition by Ironworkers
in an Uptown Building.

Where they are building the largest
apartment hotel in the world, at Eighty
sixth and Eighty-seventh streets Am
sterdam avenue and Broadway, there is
a daily exhibition of the skill with
which ironworkers handle redhot rivets.
Not only do the singers have to
throw the redhot rivets almost half the
length of the building, but they also
have to pitch them up through the
framework for two or three stories.
From the street below you can see
the bright fires burning in the portable
furnaces. The singer is armed with a
long pair of tongs. About fifty feet
away stands another man with little
wooden keg. He is situated so that he
can conveniently keep the ironworkers
supplied with rivets. He has four or
five sets of ironworkers to watch, and
to keep them supplied all the time keeps
the man with the keg on the jump.
When a rivet reaches the required
heat the singer removes it from the
bellows with the tongs. He draws his
arm back as far as he can and with an
underhand sling sends the redhot riyet
forward. The man with the keg watches
the rivet and has the key placed in such
a position that the rivet tiies into 1t
and hits the bottom with bang. Then
be removes the rivet with tongs and
passes it to a waiting ironworker.
The most spectacular feature of all
is to see a singer send one of the red
hot rivets up through the building, from
one floor below to another. This re-
quires special accuracy because the man
with the keg above can only move a
certain distance to either side. In most
cases he is sitting astride a steel beam.
From constant practice the men who, do
the singing are so accurate that they
never waste a rivet.-New York Sun.
