HIS TWO BAD DAYS.
Lord Byron Had Positive Dread Of
Fridays and Sundays.

LORD 6yron Had POSITIVE Oreao o.
Fridays and Sundays.
! The belief in palmiSts and sooth-
sayers is no.. as is sometimes sup
posed. confined to the ignorant and the
credulous. Lord Byron was not a
skeptic in these matters. Just before
his death. as recorded in "Byron-The
Last Phase" by Richard Edgccumbe.
"he said he had reflected a great deal
on prediction which had been made
to him when boy by a famed fortune
teller in Scotland His mother. who
firmly believed in chiromancy and as
trology. had sent for this person and
desired him to inform her what would
be the future destiny of her son. Hav-
ing examined attcntively the palm of
his hand. the man looked at him for
awhile steadfastly and then with a
solemn voice exclaimed. Beware of
your thjrty-seventh year. my young
lord. beware! He had entered on his
thirty seventh year on Jan. %, and 1t
was evident from the emotion with
which he related this circumstance
that the caution Of the palmist had
produced a deep impression on his
mind. which in many respects was so
superstitious that we thought it prop
er to accuse him of superstition. TO
say the truth answered his lordship,
I find it equally difficult to know what
not to believe. You will,
know, ridicule my belief in lucky and
unlucky days. but no consideration can
now induce me to undertake anything
either on Friday or Sunday. l am
positive 1t would terminate unfortu-
nately. Every one of my misfortunes-
and God knows I have had my share
has happened to be on one of those
days "-London Gentlewoman.

GRAND FORKS Wants

Grand Forks, N. D., Sept. o.
When the North Dakota Methodist
conference is held at Bismarck Octo-
Der 4 to !, the Grand Forks delegates
attending will extend an invitation
to the conference to hold It's 1911 SEES
sion in Grand Forks. On that occa-
sion the twenty-tifth anniversary OF
the establishment of tine laymen's
conference in North Dakota will be
celebrated, and inasmuch as the or

the silver anniversary should be OBJ.

given consideration in the general
conference year ago. The layman's
conference meets only every four
years.
1t has been several years since the
state conference has held forth In
Grand Forks, and it is not believed
that there will be much opposition to
the plan of bringing the 1911 meet.

The program that is being arranged
for the gathering in Bismarck next

FAMOUS SWORDS.
The Monster Weapon Used at Welsh
Eisteddfods

The Monster Weapon Used at Welsh
Eisteddfods.
The largest sword Of which there is
any record is the seven foot ceremonial
sword that was made for Edward III.
and Is now preserved in Westminster
abbey Next comes the Sword of
ceremony" that is used at Welsh els
teddfods. This weapon If placed in
the hands of modern Godfrey de
Bouillon. who. it will be recalled, with
q two handed sword cleaved a Turk
into halves from the shoulder to the
hips, would be quite long enough for
any one who wished to put it to prac-
teal USE 1t is six feet two inches in
length.
OF gorgeous swords which are not
so much weapons as settings for pre-
cious stones the most valuable in Eng
lish Is said to be the one presented by
the Egyptians to Lord Wolseley and
valued at $4,000. This sum is COM
paratively insignificant for bejeweled
sword if the value Of the sword brought
over to Europe some years ago by the
then shah of Persia-namely, $4,000
be taken as a standard of what Il dia-
mond hilted weapon ought to cost.
Competent authorities on the subject
familiar with that famous weapon of
the Persian ruler are rather skeptical
as to the existence of the gaekwar of
Baroda's gorgeous blade. which is sup
posed to be worth more than twenty
swords of equal beauty and value to
the shah's. but it is popularity supposed
that the diamonds, rubies and emeralds
with which it is thickly incrusted bring
up its value to about OOO.OOO.-Ex-

When Catcher Johnny Killing
patched up his differences with the
Chicago Cubs last spring there were
quite a few baseball fans who pre-
dicted that he would not return to the
form he had previously displayed.
It was said that he had been out OF
the game for a whole season, that he
had not kept himself in good shape,
and lot of other things. But he has
fooled all of the skeptics. He has
played as good ball this year as he
ever did before.
This has been displayed by the way

WOMAN IS old
and HOMELESS
MRS. MARY WILSON OF MOUNT
PLEASANT HAS NO ONE TO
CARE FOR HER.

Mt. Pleasant, May 13.-The county
board of commissioners for the insane
have a perplexing and pitable case be-
fore them, one Of those cases where
the organization of society fails to
mete out justice.
Mrs. Mary Wilson, seventy4two
years of age, homeless, childless, OF
little means, was brought before the
board for commitment to the hospital
for insanity. The complaint was filed
by nephew, Ed. Saums. After full
consideration of the case, the board
declined to commit the old Lady as the
case was one for different treatment
than is afforded at a hospital for the
insane.
She was old and childless and need
ed a home and the care that child
gets from it's parents. She came to
this county away back in 184S, and
has always lived here and yet IN her
old age she is alone and friendless,
and no place to go for shelter and
care. She has been living first with a
nephew, a Mr.. Shaffner, of this city,
and then with another nephew, Ed.
Saums, down south Of town, but being
old and a care to look after and con-
siderable expense, they felt that they
must be relieved of the burden. 1t is
probable that she will be taken to the
county infrmary, for there certainly
must be some place for the aged in
the days of their extremity.
