WHO CREATED HE'LL?


A st. Louis minister recently
preached on Who Created He'll? Pre-
sumably he answered the question to
his own satisfaction and that of some
Of the members of his congregation.
The Forum doesn't know his answer.
1t is also diffident about intruding into
theological discussion-but it feels
it might suggest some answers to the
reverand gentlemen's query. They
may not be theologically correct, but
they would at least be convincing to
certain proportion of the laity
There is no denying the fact there
is no longer a belief in a. hell of fire
and birthstone. The reason for this,
perhaps, is that the mind can easily
conceive things far worse, far more
revolving and terrible-and men and
women daily undergo experiences that
lead them into the belief there are
worse things than mere physical suf-
fering.
Among the things that possibly have
a part in the creation of a hell are:
The delinquent subscriber.
The fellows who claw over your
exchange basket and mix things up.
The gossips.
The man who, without any valid
reason, goes home to dinner irregu-
larly, and who sometimes does not go
home at all.
The man who goes about his work
in his office making short answers to
pertinent and civil questions.
The man who holds habitable houses
at so high a rental that people in need
of them cannot raise the price.
The man who will not remove the
weeds in summer, nor the snow in
winter. from the vacant lots he owns,
or from the sidewalks before them.
The voter who believes there Is no
good in going to the polls.
The woman who refuses to be pleas
ant to the friend her husband is com
PEELED to bring home on short notice.
The woman who permits her club
and social engagements to interfere
with the proper care Of her household
and her children.
These are only a few Of the people
who are engaged in the sad enterprise
indicated by the question quoted. The
list may be supplemented by the read
er from the names of various persons
Of his own acquaintance.

THE NEW BOND ISSUE.

For the fourth time an effort will
be made to vote bonds for an i'm
proved waterworlzs and a filtration
system in Fargo. At the first cleo
ton the proposition for both water
works and electric lights carried but
the resolution had the two coupled and
it was declared illegal. At the second
election only waterworks bonds were
submitted and no attention was paid
to the proposition. As result the
advocates of a municipal lighting
plant defeated the bonds. A third
time an order was made for a special
election but improperly drawn papers
and incomplete notice of election in
dictated the bonds would be invalid so
the election was called off,
Once more an attempt is to be made
and July 6 is the date fixed The
council resolution provides for $4,000
for improvements for the waterworks
system. new site and a filtration plant
1t also calls for $4,000 for the estab-
lishment Of a municipal lighting plant
That there should be an improved
water system in Fargo, no one will
dispute 1t is assumed that every
one is unanimous on that proposition
and that there can be no danger of a
defeat of the bond issue for that pur-
pose. Once a few people took adj
vantage Of the overconfidence of the
advocates of better water and defeat
ed the bonds through revenge. It
Is taken for granted that even these
people will never be puerile and i'm
becilic enough to encore.
The voters are urged to study the
municipal lighting proposition care
fully before authorizing a bond issue
for the establishment of a plant.
There seems no overwhelming necessity
for Fargo to be drawn further into
municipal ownership. If the city
should establish plant it could never
do more than furnish lights. II is
prohibited by law from supplying
power, and some attorneys are even in
doubt whether 1t could furnish lights
to consumers In competition with a
private company Even if it could
1t would be a questionable effort and
the competition would be unfair. Pro-
hibited from furnishing power one OF
the great sources of revenue would be
cut off,
Whatever antagonisms existed be-
tween consumers in Fargo and the old
company areanow thing of the past
A new corporation owns the Union
Light, Heat & Power Co. The new
owners have chain of electric plants
over the country In other cities this
company has been fair. 1t has already
shown its good faith in Fargo by max.
ing reductions until the city is now
getting it's light cheaper than almost
any other in the country where the
price Of fuel corresponds with thai
paid slere.
The bond issue for the iightins
plant can be voted down at this time
and II the company later on does MOI
keep faith with the people--the prop,
osition can be kept as q club over. tht
company it via no doubt b,
effective.
There is no necessity Of burdeninr
the taxpayers Of Fargo at this tim,
with bond issue for an electric Ugh
plant
Vote for waterworks bonds--vot,
against electric Light bonds

HIS ASSURANCE,
By CUThBERT BAKER.

copyright, 1909, by American Press Asso-
ciation.l
Carstairs. though gentleman. had
the most unbounded assurance, and his
resource was not less. He was very
fond Of telling how he got into places
where there was 10 admittance except
for u favored few and got out of
scrapes simply By his unmitigated
nerve.
In Paris he had secured an inter
view with the president Of the French
republic by dashing up to the Elysee
palace In an automobile, alighting and
stalking past the guards and attend
ants as though he were some immense
" important parsonage. and having
thus gained the ear Of the president
secured valuable concession.
When Carstairs went to Naples
friends he met there warned him. as
strangers are always warned, agains,

politans why" said one fresh Amer
lean importation, Il go out with 70
francs in my pocket. spend and re-
turn to my hotel with 3. How they do
it don't know" Carstairs replied
that he would never fail to count his
change and therefore he couldn't lose
| anything.
Carstairs had spent SO much time In
northern 1taly-he owned a villa on
Lake Como-that he spoke Italian like
a native. While in Naples he decided
to give dinner to number of friends
! at the Hotel Murat On the day Of
, the dinner and just before the hour it
was to take place there came up Il
sudden heavy shower. Carstairs wore
a silk hat and also evening dress under
a thin overcoat and had no umbrella.
There are plenty Of cabs In Naples,
but every one in that neighborhood
was appropriated by persons caught in
the shower Carstairs stood in the
vestibule Of shop. Looking at his
watch, he saw that it was within five
minutes Of the hour set for his dinner
party. Seeing we'll dressed man 60
by with an umbrella in the direction
which he himself wanted to go, his
assurance and inventive power came
to the 'front.' Dashing out from cover
he slipped his hand on the mans arm

1T was something fierce" said the
girl solemnly.

friends in the city,"
''None whatever"
: II am all alone In the world. too,'
said Rudolf after Il pause.
II am glad Of that" said the girl
promptly. and somehow it pleased the
young man to hear that she approved
Of his bereft condition.
Very suddenly her eyelids dropped.
and she sighed deeply.
II am awfuIly sleepy she said,

Rudolf rose and took his hat.
'Then I'll say good hight. A long
nights sleep will b. fine for you"
He held out his hand. and she took
1t and said "Good night" But her
eyes asked question so eloquenlly,
so frankly and pathetically that he
answered it with words.
"Oh. I'm coming back tomorrow to
see how you are getting along. You
| can't get rid Of me so easily"
Of his coming had been so much less
important than the fact that he had
come, she asked. How did you come
to knock at my door?"
| He looked at her for a moment, re-
Numbering the cards. and felt sud-
den jealous pain. What If they had
fallen into other hands as adventurous
as his? Quickly he decided that she
must never know the truth. He would
never let her know that he was aware
Of the strange expedient to which she
had been driven by her great distress.
Zone Of our piano tuners lives in
this house," he said. Il knocked at
your door by mistake"
! The last thing he saw in the room
before the green door closed was her
smile.
At the head of the stairway he paus-
ed and looked curiously about him.
And then he went along the hallway
to it's other end and. coming back. as
cended to the floor above and contin-
ued his puzzled explorations. Every
door that he found in the house was
painted green.
Wondering. he descended to the
sidewalk. The fantastic African was

she would intrust to no one else.
knowing that you are my most init:
mate friend and l am yours"
The man started to interrupt, but
Carstairs gave him no opportunity.
"She regrets exceedingly" he went
on, "her treatment Of you and wishes
to make amends. But her parents are
very watchful. She wishes you to
meet her in the park. or, rather, at
the sea wall opposite the park, tomor.
row evening just before dark. She
will walk from north to south, while
you are to walk in the opposite direc-
ton, starting ut exactly I o'clock. If
the weather is pleasant and the sea
smooth have boat at the center steps.
She fears to meet some one who
knows her, so she will be disguised,
but you will know her by flower that
she will carry in her left hand.
''There, you lucky dog, you should
consider yourself under undying obi
cations to me for conserving to bear
the message. Had not loved you so
we'll l would not have done it. nor
would the signorina have intrusted me
with her confidence"
At this juncture the two reached the
Hotel Murat. and Carstairs, with a
"Goodby, dear boy! l wish you u
pleasant boat ride tomorrow evening
with your sweetheart" ran into the
doorway.
The guests were assembled and all
sat down to dinner. Carstairs was in
high good humor. One of the company
was smarting at having received in
change three counterfeit five franc
pieces.
Never" said the unfortunate per-
son, have l mingled with people SO
tricky as the Neapolitans."
"Oh. you don't know how to handle
| Them" said Carstairs. If you wish
to be immune from being robbed you
must tickle their vanity. and the way
to do that is to tell man of some
woman who is dying for him."
And Carstairs told Of how he had
secured the use of an umbrella.
"But the man must have supposed
that you had made Il mistake" re-
marked one Of the party. "He could
have had no interest in this girl
"Ah, you don't know the Italians
They are so full of romance that the

"Your shirt bosom is unbuttoned

1t was not the loss of the studs o.
the money that affected Carstairs. |
was the fact that he had been done
by an Italian upon whom he though
he was playing an innocent joke. Th'
expression on his face was one o.
shamefacedneSS
"What is it, old man, asked a guest
"What is it! Why. have given tw,
diamond studs and 1000 Ira for TIT
use of that umbrella"
i For few moments all looked seri
ously sympathetic. then the Iudicrou
side of the adventure got the better q
the party. and all burst into laughter

recovered himself and raising hi
