WORLDS OLDEST WOMAN,

1t would appear that after a woman
gets to a certain age she boasts of her
antiquity rather than hiding It, One is
rather skepticaI regarding the number
of old age stories told--but in Europe
records are so carefully kept that there
is little doubt of the authenticity of
such cases.
The claim of Frau Dutkiewitz, of
Posen, born on February 21, 1885, to be
the Oldest woman in the world, is now
contested by Mrs Bahia Vasilka-who
was born in May, 1854, in the little
Bulgarian village of BaveeIsko, where
she has lived ever since. The record
Of her birth is preserved in a neighbor-
Ing monastery of the orthodox Greek
faith. Bahia Vasilka is the daughter
OF a peasant and worked herself as
peasant up till a comparatively re-
cent date. For more than 100 years
she regularly worked in the fields, ac-
cording to the custom of her country
where women are employed in all sorts
OF manual labor. When she was born
Bulgaria was merely a province of the
Turkish empire, and the entire popula-
ton groaned under the tyranny of their
Turkish rulers.
She has seen innumerable wars and
repelhons, massacres and atrocities.
political crimes and political tragedies
She recollects well with perfect dis
tinctness events that happened at the
end of the eighteenth century and the
beginning of the nineteenth century
In fact, the events of her earlier life
up to the time when she attained the
age of 80 years are far more distinct
Iy impressed on her mind than the
happenings Of the last 46 years. Baba
Vasilka lived through all the crises Of
her nation, and now rejoices to know
hat Bulgaria is an independent king
lom.
She lives on a pension paid her by
many of her numerous descendants, |
"hwo number more than 100. She Is
naturally quite a celebrity in her land |
-and people come great distances to |
yet glimpse of this wonderful woman. |
Who has defed the ravages of time for
more than century and a quarter.

WELCOME TO FARGO.

This city entertained many thousand
visitors today. Former President
Roosevelt was the attraction. Fargo
offered the opportunity. Through the
enterprise of the Fargo Federated
Trades Council and the able assist
ance Of Congressman Hanna, Theodore
Roosevelt was present. Those who saw
him today will return to their homes
with the conviction that the rough rider
was glad of the opportunity to again
meet and mingle with the people of
this state-and renew the associations
formed when he was a rancher in the
western part of North Dakota.
Fargo is glad to have entertained the
most widely known man in the world.
The city rejoices in its ability to well
come the thousands who have helped
by their presence to make the event
such a success.

WILLING TO HELP.

Fargoans are generally willing to
contribute to any worthy cause. It's
citizens are liberal. This was demon
strated Saturday. Judge Branham had
read in The Forum about the fund that
was being raised for artificial legs for
the little boy, Floyd Gerard who had
lost both legs in an accident. He con-
cluded the rest Of the money could
quickly be raised. A few friends were
called on and before noon he had Sc
cured subscriptions for sS1. Prior to
this $50 had been subscribed. The
high school is to raise S5O--and Floyd
Gerard will soon be walking again.
Big hearted men like Judge Branham
land those who assisted with their
subscriptions-are spreading sunshine
along lies pathway.

SUPREME COURT JUSTICES.

In commenting on the Importance of
filling the vacancies on the U. s SUI
preme bench at a nearly date, the New
York Journal of Commerce says:

equations at Beverly by a consultation

cy caused by the death of Chief Jux-
tice Fuller has existed for some tina.
II Is we'll understood that Justice
Moody is permanently incapacitated
and Is to retire under the special act
OF congress that win continue the full
salary to him during life and there is
no reason why he should stay upon
the order of his going and hinder Tie

none is likely to be raised, but they
should be confirmed before taking their
places on the bench. That can only
be accomplished before next Decnn-
Der by calling the senate together in
special session. That seems to be quite
worth WHILE considering the charac-
ter of certain pending cases and the
fact that large interests in the country
are waiting with a good deal Of uncer-
talnty, not to say anxiety, for their
decision.
The trust cases." or those against
the American Tobacco Co, and the
Standard Oil Co., have already been
long delayed. The former has been ar
gued once and the time was ser for
reargument, and the latter wou!l have
been heard last spring but for the va
cancies on the bench If these are not
nlled before October, the appointments
VIII hardly be confirmed before the end
OF the year, and then these cases are
not likely to come up for hearir.g until
next spring and there may be no deci-
sion before another adjournment. The
long delay may be continued for an
other year. There is in this sufficient
reason for summoning the senats thls
month to confirm the appointments
and enable the court to perform the
most important task that has fallen to
It for many years. The application of
the antitrust law to these great cor
porations should be settled as soon as
practicable

Sept. 6-The Witching Hour.
Sept. S--MaTgaret Anglin.

Arizona was first produced in Chi

time the piece and its author were I'M
known. Sheer merit has forced them
into recognition in New York, the city
winch Is said to mold the destiny of
plays. However, Chicago seemed no
less appreciative Of Arizona than prior
TO Its New York triumph, If the recent
engagement Of the piece at the Chi
cago Auditorium may be taken as a
criterion. Arizona will be seen at the
Fargo operahouse this afternoon and
evening. Curtain for the matinee will
be held until 1915.
Telepathy, that occult science IN
which most people profess to be skep-

OF brilliant minds have proven to be
a force is beautifully illustrated in Au-

Travellers Tales

Speaking of remembering names .
said Edward L. Pardee, travelling pas
senger agent for the Chicago & North
western railway, who was in the city
a rev days ago, Il believe that this
FACULTY is acquired through
practice. OF course 1t might be easier
for some than for others, but / be-
lieve that those men who have the
knack of meeting a person by name
the next time they come in contact
with, have come by the ART through
patient and constant practice.
In my business 1t is very important
that / remember peoples names and
when one considers that traveT from
81. Paul clear to the Pacific coast 1t
is easy to. see that 1t would be a hard
job. When i first became travelling
agent 1T was all but impossible to
remember mans name If I had not
met him several times / could re-
member faces and the circumstances
under which / had met them easily
enough, but the name was a sticker.
But / have given myself course of
training that / believe Is a good one.
When l go to my hotel at night take

events OF the day from beginning to
