The following. from The Shoeman,

when he found out later that too much

the last possible argument in favor of
his goods until the personal equation
of the customer is eliminated. There
is some special application of all
things to all people; something that
applies with equal force TO no one
else.

Which Fargo is proud of her hotels,

Waldorf hotel, is one of the most &C

er has always leaned toward art and
it has been one of his deepest regrets
that he has never had the opportunity
to study the work of the pencil at an
art school. Ever since he was a lit
tie lad, Harry has spent his spare
moments in the use of the brush.
The most remarkable part about the
little Jap, is the speed and dizziness
with which he places his work on the
canvass, During the present week he
has turned out six paintings, and every
one of them a rare work of art.
Harry is contemplating giving some
of his work to his friends for Christ
mas gifts and the acquaintance who
received one Of the handsomely fran
ed oils from Harry, tomorrow morn

himself most fortunate. The Christ.

Probably the masterpiece of the en-,

the waves to surge into foam capped
peaks, as they break away from thu

CALL MEETING TO PROTEST
AGAINST METHODS.

Detroit. Mimi, Dec. 24--At a busi-
ness meeting of the Detroit CONNER
cial club, 125 members of the organiza-
ton greeted d. NJ Neill of Red Wing,
president of the Minnesota Federation
of Commercial clubs, who was here In
response to an invitation extended by
Pres. C. z. Morse of the Detroit club.
Following an address by Mr.. NELL, a
serious discussion developed concern
ing the manner in which the recent ac-
ton of the interior department at
Washington in inaugurating the in
vestigation of the real estate transfers
on the White Earth reservation had
resulted in a complete stagnation OF
all lines of business, and was, in fact,
not only retarding the development of
this part of the state, but had tied
UP several millions of dollars which
had in good faith been invested in
these lands by parties DESTROYS of be-
coming actual settlers
Method Too Slow.
Objection was not raised to the gov
ernment's making a complete and rigid
investigation concerning all transfers
wherein possible fraud has been all
legged, but it was pointed out that by
the slow and tedious process now being
followed by the department of justice
many years are likely to elapse before
| the investigation has reached such 9
point as will again make the reserva-
ton lands desirable investment fol

Paria, A1oraa EInnel.

In the year 1296 rose the greatest flood of which history makes any rec ord in Paris. ''Men went in boats over the wall of the kings garden" All the island was covered. and from the foot of the hill of the university to the rising ground beyond the Marrais the upper stories of the houses rose out of a lake a mile wide In that flood was swept away the old stone bridge that Charles the Bald had built centuries earlier. before even the Nor mans besieged the town. and in that flood the Petit Chatelet was destroyed. The Petit Pont fell into the river also. but that was nothing wonderful. for it was the most unfortunate of bridges and never stood firmly for fifty years at a stretch. but was forever being de- stroyed and regularly rebuilt.
