Dogden, N. D., Oct. 10.-To The
Forum: II. C. Nelson came up from
Hurley, S. D., last week to attend the
funeral of his brother n-law, Irwin T.
Lyon.
The new band instruments have ar
rived and the band members will meet
to practice twice a week hereafter.
Emmett Lyon and family left last
week for Mason City, Ia, where they
will spend the winter visiting Mr..
Lyons parents.
Mrs. l. T. Lyon left on Sunday Of
last week for Mason City, Ia, where
the remains of her husband were in
TERED. From there she will go to
Hurley, S. D., to spend the winter with
the family of her brother, H. c. Nell
son.
While Alex Bonenko was driving
home from Dogden last Monday his
team became unmanageable and ran
away, throwing Mr.. BonenkO out of the
wagon with several fractured ribs as a
result. The team went on home and
ran over a 3-year-old son of their own
er, breaking one of the little fellows
legs. Father and son were taken to
Bismarck hospital for treatment. Mrs.
Bonenko is also away at a hospital at
the present time, so this was a case of
misfortunes not coming singly.
The treasury of the Congregational
Ladies' Aid society was enriched to the

And North Dakota made an appeal
to all the eastern departments to get
into touch with sons of the older
states, who move westward and forget
to line UP with the G. A. r. in their
new homes.
Where are they, those old boys?
Those 2,100 who are growing old in
Dakota?
So keenly did the national see the
point that seventeen of the older de-
partments voluntarily pledged not only
names and letters, but financial sup
port to pay the postage and other
necessary expenses of the field worker.
And then the field worker and her
comrade packed their knapsacks and
picked up their pilgrim STATS to make
their way to Washington.
There they were ably helped by that
veteran, Colonel Louns-
berry.
But the chief clerk of the pension
bureau was more willing to help, than
able. He was pointed out by a darkey
doorkeeper, who said in the usual deep
throaty voice, "How long have / been

held up her watch chain. 1t was just
a plain steel one, of the pattern
known as curb but on II were hung
buttons, medals, rings, all added by
her friends among the old boys. They
began doing it in hospital days in the
COS, and every link held story.
1t was sad to hear that our generous
government, so good to the old boys at
the eventide of life, has not yet
granted pension to the volunteer
nurses.
Surely the women who volunteered
and went into the field hospital,
walked worthy of the volunteers in
the regiments, and did just as good
work as the enlisted women.
We are confident that when the
widows are taken care of the nurses
will not be forgotten.
The finest thing in the Relief Corps
convention Is the occasional entrance
of the old soldiers, with some message
for the women and the eager difference
with which the men who had made
good, were surrounded by flags car
ried by handsome young women; the
organist would strike up some stirring
old war melody, and some sweet voice
would Join in with the words, and
all at once a grand chorus would fill
all our hearts with love, and joy, and

Pine Nut Crop Is Plentiful

1t has been several years since the
pine nut crop was as heavy as this sea-
son and the Washoe Indians are max
ing the best Of their good fortune. The
bucks have forsaken their favorite
gambling game. while the mahalas fail
to show up on wash morning. The
major portion Of the tribe is harvesting
pine nuts. They will have a mighty
little use for flour through the Winter
because the nuts furnish an inexpens-
i've substitute for the staff of life. Ante
dating the memory of the oldest in
habitant, the Indians have forecasted
the approaching Winter by natures
endowment of pine nuts. A plentitude
of nuts indicated a hard Winter. while
a light crop meant a light Winter. Last
Winter the forecast failed, and how it
will work ont the Winter coming is q
problem for much speculation Gard.

When Catholic Maids
May Wed Protestant Men

Denver, Colo. Sept. 26.-According
to Father Hugh L. McMenin, pastor Of
the Church of the Immaculate Concep-
ton, the most influential Roman
Catholic congregation in Colorado, the
only condition upon which the church
will sanction the marriage of a Catholic
maid to a Protestant man who refuses
to take instruction in the Catholic faith
is when the aforesaid Catholic maid is
plain, unattractive and on the shady
side of %; in short, when it seems
more than probable that she will re.
main an ''old maid" if she doesn't snap
up what fate has sent her before that
whimsical old dame changes her mind.
In all other cases, declared Father
McMenim, the man must accept in
struction in the Catholic faith or no
marriage will be recognized by the
church. IF the couple threaten a civil
marriage by a Justice Of the Peace"
said the priest, 1--WE will tell them to
go TO the devil, for that is the way they
are headed"
These statements were made by
Father McMenim yesterday in a SER
mon II which he explained to his con-
gregation the recent pronunciamento
issued by the vatican regarding the
matrimonial laws of the church.
