INSTINCT OF THE REALIs1
Writer Wanted Game Played to the
Limit, Without Departure
From Proprieties.

A story about Robert Louis Steven.
son not generally known is told by
Mrs. Stevenson's grandson. Austin
Strong. When Mr.. Strong was little
chap Mr.. Stevenson liked to sit
propped up in bed to watch him at
play in the next room. And often It
happened that the bigger boy of the
two would make suggestions for the
make.believe games and insist that
they be carried on. too. One day Aus
tin had arranged some chairs in row,
playing that they were ships, and he.
standing on the front was the cap
tain. For long time he proudly
walked the deck of his vessel, en-
countered pirates and weathered all
kinds of storms until he felt the floor
positively heave under his feet Mr.
Stevenson locked on in perfect ST.
lence, but complete absorption, no
doubt playing the whole thing much
the harder of the two. Finally Austin
got tired of his vessel, climbed off his
chair and began walking across the
room to some object which had at
tracted his interest. This was too
much for his uncle. Still deep in the
game, Mr. Stevenson rose in his sick
bed and shouted excitedly at the re-
calcitrant sea captain: Swim. d.
you; swim!"

DR.. CILBREATH
DENTIST
once in Bee Hive Block

Harry Crofoot of Colfax was
in Wahpeton Mon day and
Tuesday and stopped with his
sister, Ida. Harry, Roy and
Ida have each taken up a home
stead in Montana. They will
build houses on their land this
fall and about the first of the
year they will ship out a car of
stock.
The writer has been troubled
periodically, for months with
an liberated tooth. This week
we summoned up enough
COURAGE to visit a dentist. We
called on DR.. Gilbreath and
found the best and most sani-
tary equipped dental Office we
ever visited. We were inform
ed that the offending tooth
must be extracted, which we
had known for q long time and
that knowledge kept US away
from the dental Office. After
DR.. Gilbreath treated the tooth,
he extracted it without q par.
ticle Of pain.

have been mere dream which came
to Ponce de Leon in Porto Rico and
lured him to Florida in search Of the
magical island of Bimini and the foun-
tain whose waters gave youth forever
to the hardy voyager.
No longer do we seek Immortality
In remote geography. No longer do
we look to the philosopher to give US
length Of years. We have had revealed
to Us the uselessness and the iniquity
Of the colon, all too late to risk its
excision. We have. been informed
that we do not really grow old: we
yield to arterio-sclerosis. Still we
have the hope that aging humanity
has always had. The years Of man
are the years of his colon and his
aorta.
Now comes from Paris our latest
hope for the years declining. Modest

comes to US in the newer jargon, un.

to considerable extent. It is to dis.

might wreck us: 1t is to give new
strength to the phagocytes which are
the devourers of our inner ills. In a
barbarous phrase it is to decuplize. to

IMMORTALITY IN SCHOOLS

There have been frequent
scandals in the schools of the
country as a result of the i'm
morality of pupils of the grades
and the high schools. Fortu.
nately Fargo has escaped to a
great degree any unsavory sem
sations. The Minneapolis
Journal has the following com
ment on the conditions that
exist in some cities:
The Journal Of the stare
Medical association discusses
in its last issue the subject of
immortality in the p u b ] c
schools in palmer manner
than a daily newspaper eau

Of such vital importance that
daily newspaper would be re.
miss in its duty, if it did not
call attention to what the ply
sicians are saying.
For some time past" this
medical publication says, "the
unpleasant fact that gross i'm
morality is present in our pub
tic schools suggests the advis-
ability Of more carefulinquiry
into the situation. 1t also pre-
scnts one of the strongest ar
guments in favor of medical
inspection in public schools. !"
"The boys of today" it odds,

Clark as making the startling
statement that girls are less

The careless Indifference and
shortsightedness of parents is
blamed. But. unbappily, blam

1t is fact, if this publication
may be believed-and it appears
to be of the highest honor

The real danger lies in the
fact that a few cases of immor-

ones. This 10 the real crime of
the concealment of the few
cases that exist. They should
be rooted out. If nothing else

TIMBER SALES INCREASING
Forest Service Pleased at Increased Demand for Timber in 1909
 Over 1908.

According to a statement just made by the District office of the Forest Service. the returns from timber sales in the southwest point overwhelmingly to revival ot| business. Acting District Forester Woolsey said:
 "The contrast between conditions during November, 1908. and No vember, 1909, is very marked. The actual receipts during November, 1908, amounted to only $S,252.5S, whereas during November, 1909. the receipts were $l0,O27 Is. In other words, 1909 receipts were ap- proximately there times those for the same month in 1908.
 During November, 1908, the timber sales contracted for amount ed to $1. .S02.27. while during No vember. 1909, they aggregated $ll9, ,l39.63. Although the cutting of much of this timber will extend over a period of years, the large November sales are sure indica- tion of prosperity.
 "The value of the timber actual ly cut in Novebmer, 1908. accord ing to reports from Supervisors, amounted to S4 .634. 92. whereas dur ing November. 1909. the actual cut was to the value of $9,22l.59. It is evident that there is some dispar- ity between the receipts for timber sales and timber cut. This is ac- counted for by the fact that timber is paid for in advance of cutting, but generally speaking, it is appar- ent that the timber disposed of during November. 1909, was two to three times as much as during No vember. 1908.
 Forest officers say this is ex- ceedjngly gratifying in view of the improved silvicultural methods em- ployed. and in view of the conser- vative methods of cutting. The re- ports show exclusively that the timber sale business is improving and yet the silvicultural needs of the forests are more carefully looked after than ever before. These increased sales indicate that the disposal of timber is on a sound, practical basis, and there is still much mature stumpage that presents an attractive investment for lumbermen.
