Dogden Observer
Early today John Allen, far:
mer living just outside the city
limits, heard a noise in his barn
and on going out found several
persons stealing his horses. They
managed to get one horse out Of
the barn, and mounting it rode
rapidly away. Allen called to his
wife to bring the lantern, and in
doing SO she slipped, fell and broke
her shoulder bone. After securing
medical aid for his wife. Allen pur.
sued the thieves. No one has been
captured yet.
A sensation was caused in BY.
ersville school district last week by
the sudden, unexpected and stimuli.
taneous disappearance of Miss EMe
Blakeslee and Harold Martin. In
a few days it was learned that the
young couple had gone to Minot
and were married upon arriving
there, and they we're not planning
lon returning to Ryersville right
away.
III. A. Holmes, United States
commissioners, and Geo. Pendroy
of Towner. were Dogden callers
Moaday. taking Z. b. Pendroys
place and that Of his daughter
Lulu, in the transaction of United
States land business.
Hon. John a. johnson, who
started for Mexico a week ago
Monday, retsrned the next Friday,
He went as far as Minneapolis,
and Mr.. "A. L. Ober, not being able
to go at that time. the trip was
postponed for month.
On Wednesday evening, Decem-
Der %, at the Congregational
church. occurred the marriage of
Miss Myrtle May Hanson and
Wilford Luverne Graham, two of
Dogden's most popular young
people.
After two weeks with relatives
at Balfour and Valley City Mr..
and Mrs. Graham will go to house,
keeping in Dogden.
Keep the Children IN School.
If more would join with the
states sup perintendent Of New York
the children would be kept in
school for a longer period of time.
He thinks parents ought to see,
wise parents do see, the necessity
for keeping the boys and girls in
school until they have completed
the public school course of study.
The few dollars the youngsters are
able to earn by leaving school and
going to work are a small sum in
comparison with what they lose
by becoming unframed, unskilled
workers. In the majority Of cases,
they are handicapped for life by
their lack Of education There are
d few who educate themselves la
ter in life, realizing their need, but
they are q small minority. Per-
!haps the value Of school training
would be increased in the eyes Of
those who are responsible for 50
large a number leaving the schools,
;if there were q definite system Of
trade schools where trades could
be taught as well as other subjects.
Ii seems prof. bable that the future
Edevelopm ment Of school system will
be along that line. h:

Young PennsyIvanIa- Woman the Only
Star Route Carrier Who Has
Never Been. Late.

Bristol, Pa.-After carrying the
mail $4,000 miles, during her II years
and five months service between Bris-
toll and Woodbourne, Miss Grace Van
Hart of Roelofs has given up her posi-
ton and has been succeeded by Thad-
deus NJ. Eustis.a
She carried the mail on what is
known as Star" route, travelling in
a small cart. Her route was from
Bristol via Emile to WoOdbourne,
about eight miles, and as. she covered
the round trip 300 times year the
total Of her travelling is almost the
same as the circumference Of the
earth =
The post-ofices clerks at Bristol
state that Miss Van Hart was the
only one of the Star route postmen
from this point who never was, in her
whole term Of service, behind time
with the mail, being always so pune
tual, no matter what the weather, that
farmers along the route used to set
their clocks when she came in sight.
She won many warm friends along
the route because of her courtesy and
her willingness to accommodate
patrons. e

Not Worth shinoIinu,.

The late Thomas Bone, the sailors
missionary, was the soul of kindli-
ness, but he was seldom worsted in
ropartee, One of the many instances
u this given in his just-puBlished life
b the following:
"His work was not . without its
humorous side. Among the new. men
there were always some who sought
. little amusement at his expense, but
they reckoned without their host. His
kindly manner never changed. The
smile never left his face. There was
no venom in the retort, but it seldom
failed to silence the interrupter The
hugh raised at his expense made II
quite certain that no Second attempt
would be made.
Seeing him approaching one day,
one OF a group of sailors announced
his intention Of having some fun. He
stepped forward and removed his hat
revealing a perfectly smooth. crown
and asked: -
"'Cal you tell me why my head is
20 bald, while all my companions have
plenty of hair?"

ply. unless the reason given me the

10 Reduce PoultrY Rates

The state board of railroad
commissioners has ordered its at
tOrney, John S. Dawson to bring
an. action before the interstate
commerce commission to secure
a reduction in the express rates
on dressed poultry from Kansas
points to points in other states.
A complaint was filed regarding
the present rates by Fred Mel
son of Hutchinson. The state rail
road board could not take up the
case for the reason that inter
state rates were involved. John
Dawson applied to- the board for
an order to proceed before the
interstate commerce commission,
and the order has been made.

Nurse for a Hotel.

At one Of the hotels in New York a
nurse has been installed whose duty
1t is to take care of the children Of
guests who come without nurses. The
proprietor says that very often wom-
an is obliged to come without a nurse
and in consequence is tied down by
the baby and, moreover, obliged to
consult strange physician if it is
ailing. The nurse takes care of all
that and her services are not charged
for.

Luck on the Stage.

STOCK exchange men and racing
men regard luck as a side. issue.
They follow 1t secretly and make
excuses for it. II it goes astray,
as if it were q personal friend;
but the actor has a deep reverence
for it, and superstitious customs that
sprang into observace during the
restoration period are still maintained
in the age of socialism and problem
plays. 1t is almost pathetic to see
the joy that beams in the faces Of a
theatrical company at rehearsals if q
harmless, necessary cat strolls on
the stage; but if the cat sits down
and appears to watch the proceedings
with approval the joy becomes
ecstatic.
