The Just Man asked the Inquisitive
Person this question: why it is so
hard to get capable women in any line
of literary or artistic work, or In any
line OF work, for that matter?"
Now, the Inquisitive Person was a
woman, and she had been born with
a large and active question mark In
her head. so she replied: Il know why
1t is
Tell me why" said the Just Man.
The InQuisitive Person drew her
eyebrows together and thrummed on
the table with her fingers. Then she
said:
81 know, because I am a woman,
and have wanted to do something In
the world. l still do, and shall, but
believe IL you or any other man had
had to encounter the Heterogeneous
| have met. you would have quit long
ago"
II thought everybody encouraged
you" said the Just Man.
Everybody you know about does;
you and the people who have climbed
up to where you stand. But there are
lots of other folks in the world, and
well, II Is this way: Suppose you
were going to run race, and all the
people you knew and those you met
casually came and stood on the side
of the course and demonstrated with
you as you ran. Suppose they even
went so far as to reach out hand
to stay you II your speed became what
they considered too great for safety

AVENuE.

The Moulin Rouge burlesquers are
offered for the approval of patrons Of
the Avenue theater this week. The
Moulin Rougers opened their annuaI
engagement there Sunday, and they
were deservedly greeted by two large
and enthusiastic audiences.
This organization has about every.
thing a good burlesque troupe should
have. Chief among these assets is
a large chorus of shapely young wo-
men, who can both dance and sing.
The comedians are really funny and
the selection OF comedy is happy one.
, Violette Dusette, billed as the double
of Polaire, is accorded the place OF
honor on the olio. She performs In
A pantomine called The Stranger"
which makes distinct hit. The Lee
sisters are great dancers and Oscar
Kaufman and Victoria Sawtelle have
a neat singing act. Frank Provost and
Toe Brown present a thrilling tum-
bling act and Frank Dodson enter
tains with a dancing specially.
Frank-Dodson, Joe Emerson and
Harry Emerson are allotted the tasks
of providing fun for the spectators

run successful racer"
Unless were a wonderful runner
I'd probably drop out early in the
game"
And you would not run any better
because your friends meant well, be-
cause they thought you should not at
tempt it?"
"Of course not"
Then you can understand why wo-
men fail No matter what a woman
does, from the time she starts until
she stops or gets so high that she Is
beyond being disturbed by cries of
protest, she is constantly fighting for
her RICH: to live her life and do her
work as she chooses. Even casual ac-
quaintances feel moved TO remind her
OF her proper sphere OF the Difficult
ties in the way, Of those who have
gone down before her, OF the danger
to her health, her duty TO poeterity or
any other old thing that they can con-
jure up to discourage her. And then
folks wonder why women drop out Of
the race. Those who stay earn all
that comes to them, for they work
alone, and they must blaze path for
themselves as we'll as for those who
follow"
But" said the Just Man, you say
you mean to rise. How do you meet

To those who saw the Dainty Ouch
ess company with Joe" Morris, the
Watson sisters, Margie Hilton, Oscar
Lewis and Sam Green and the rest OF
them In the Gayety. Sunday, for the
first time, the company looked like a
mighty good one.
Joe" Morris heads the company as
chief fun-maker, and his antics and
grotesque makeup have lost none Of
their laugh-producing qualities. He
could, however, cut out a few dams"
without interfering with the fun, and
Manager Ward may be depended on
to see that this Is done.
A strong feature OF the company
are the Watson sisters, Fannie and
Kitty. They are both strong on good
looks, and what they lack In voice
they make up with a bewitching,
CLASSY" manner of singing that made
a great lit.
The company appeared in two skits
The first has no name, but the closing
number is called. Sultan for Day"
The chorus Is much above the aver
age In looks. and the girls sing and
dance as though they enjoyed 1t.
The olio numbers are excellent
The Watson sisters sang; Oscar
Lewis and Sam Green pulled of their
familiar stunt, Engaging a Cook"
Margie Hilton, a decidedly pretty
soubrette, sang In a manner ali her
own and the Baker trio, comedy aero
bats, created much amusement.

LAFAYETTE.

Miss Estha Williams as the deep
voiced, large-hearted woman with a
past" n the mining town play, "As
the Sun Went Down." In the Lafayette
this week, Is a novelty and got to the
hearts OF the big audience Of meIo-
drama lovers that throng the place.
To make q woman OF this character
the heroine of the play is rather a
daring thing. but the author gets away
with 1t In good shape. Around the
heroine Is woven a story that re-
quires a stalwart young miner, his
sickly minister brother from the east,
a stranded actor and his wife, a fugi-
tive forger who has a hold on her, a
good-hearted saloonkeeper, a noun
tain bully, man who is itching to
lick him, Cyclone" a mining camp
girl wonder, town gossip. and box
supposed to contain John l.. Sullivan,
a pet rattlesnake. To help these out
the stage artist has worked out some
realistic mountain camp scenery.
The plot has to do with the story Of
the regeneration OF the camp through
the coming OF the boy preacher, who
does not recognize his runaway broth.
er In the big young miner who be-
friends him. The men In camp think
TO play a joke on the minister by send
ing him to board with Colonel Billy"
whose reputation has suffered some
what, but who Is reclaimed through
love OF the brother Colonel Billy
fights a duel with the camp bully on
behalf OF the actor, the minister Is
shot and wounded. and things come
m n ranid conclusion CAS- the Sun Went
Down"
The company is one OF the strongest
that has appeared in the Lafayette
this year. The other actors besides
Miss Williams are Edwin Walter as
Faro Bill, the brother; Ezra w.
Graham as the Rev. Albert Atherton
the minister; Ida Werner, Flora Byam,
Margaret Miller, A. G. White, Fred

Loaded Stock Car Is eurned.

Lisbon.-A car Of stock. consigned to
the Western Commission company in
south st. Paul, burned Saturday after
noon at 4:S0 o'clock at a spur about
two miles and a half east Of Lisbon,
on the southwestern division of the
railroad.
The car, containing hogs and cattle,
had been loaded at this place and plac-
ed on a side track twaiting the fast
freight Of cattle train. which was to
pick 1t up. The cattle train pulled in.
picked up the car and started. The
exact cause Of the blaze cannot be
placed, although the dispatch states
that the fire started in the feed boxes.
The blaze quickly enveloped the car
and three hogs and one steer were
burned to death in the car. The rest
escaped from the burning car as soon
as the doors were burned down and
they could jump out. The side track
on which the car was standing is on q
small knoll.

Ton Of Dry Coal Furnishes 1900 Cubic
Feet Of Gas.
Hebron.-What is said to be the first
experimental station of the kind, an
institution for the Investigation of the
possibilities Of Ignite as fuel, is now
In full operation in this place.
The station is branch of the school
OF mines of the University of North
Dakota, and is under the direction of
Prof. e. J.. Babcock.
The initial work carried on the past
summer has been encouraging to a
high degree and will be continued in
the winter by Prof. Snyder and three
assistants.
The most significant work yet I'M
dertaken is the manufacture of Ignite
briquettes which have proven to con-
tain as many heat units as anthracite
coal. The experiments in producing
Ignite gas have been wonderfully sue
cessful. From one ton Of dried Ignite
$4,000 cubic feet of gas has been pro.
duced and 1t gives a brilliant light
with Welsbach burners, having nearly
as much heating capacity as Pittsburg
gas coal and being fully equal to the
gas used for city distribution and
working well in a regular gas range.
1t is the intention to put up several
street lights about the station to DEM
onstrate the lighting value Of the gas

SUR ed
THE STATE BIOL ooicAL SURVEY
MAKES CAREFUL STUDY OF
DEVILS LAKE.
GREATEST DEPTH Is FEET
Lake Level Fell ons-haif Foot During
Time Observations Were Taken
and 10 Now at Lowest Level
Ever Known.

Devils Lake.-North Dakota's state
state biolobical survey party under
Prof. Howard e. Simpson. who have
spent several weeks in the neighbor-
mood of Devils Lake and Stump lake
has completed its work. The party
has been making q survey and study
of the former beach lines and NOR
raine surrounding Devils Lake and a
considerable area Of the adjoining lakes
has been matihed. At Stump lake a
study was made Of the old beds of
streams WHICH have flowed from Devils
lake into til Sheyenne river. A bench
mark was established at Hunters
lodge, Albert Eastgate's place and
levels from the railroad station at Toll
ma. Later a full report Of the work
will be published in a report of state
biological survey at which time they
will also report and give opinions as
to the serious problem of the lake fall
Ing SO rapidly since the record of levels
have been kept.
The exceedingly low water of Devils
lake at present. and the constant low
ering Of the water Of Devils lake year
after year is causing fear that this,
the largest lake in North Dakota, will
within q few years, become dry. Ac-
cordtng to the report of the bureau OF
fisheries. which made thorough in.
vestigation Of the lake in 1907, the lake
is at present 143 feet from a beach
mark which was established in 1883,
at. the shore Of the lake, and is rapidly
falling, having fallen one-half foot dur
Ing the time they were making their
observations, a period of seven weeks.
Within twenty-five years the lake has
fallen ten feet and has fluctuated for
feet under the changes Of the weather,
and is at the present time at the low
est stage ever known. It was the opin-
ion of the bureau of fisheries that this
constant fall was due to great extent
to the fact that the country was Gull
tivated, and that such cultivation took
up the rapid evaporation of the lake.
In sounding the lake it was found
that the deepest place in the lake was
twenty-five feet, while large areas of
the lake averaged but six to eight feet.
