N. D. COLLECTORS
ARE REAPPOINTED
WILLIS c. COOKE, NEW U. s. REV.
ENUE COLLECTOR FOR NORTH
AND SOUTH DAKOTA NAMES
SAME FORCE OF DEPUTIES AS
WORKED UNDER ELLERMAN.

All Of the deputy United States rev.
enue collectors who worked under H.
Ellerman, retired, have been reap
pointed. Mr.. Ellerman retired from the
office of revenue collector for North
and South Dakota Aug. 16 and his
successor is Willis c. Cooke, who took
the oath Of office and was sworn in on
Tuesday of this week. His district is
comprised of the states of North and
South Dakota and he makes Sioux
Falls his headquarters.
Almost the first official act of Mr..
Cooke was to reappoint all Of the old
deputy collectors as we'll as the Office
force. The two who were reappointed
for North Dakota are G.. H. Merrifield
OF Grand Forks and George H. Percy
of Pingree, and the news of their re-
appointment will be. received with
great pleasure by their many friends in
all parts of the state.
A very pleasant incident took place
at the meeting of the deputies in
Sioux Falls the first of the week. 1t
was at the time the new collector was
being installed into office. After Mr..
Ellerman had been retired Mr.. Faus,
chief clerk of the department in neat
speech presented the returning officer
with magnificent solid gold Masonic
emblem which may be used as a watch
charm.
The gift was so unexpected that Mr.
Ellerman was overcome with emotion
and it was some time before he was
able to respond. He gave each of the
men who had worked SO faithfully un-
der him a fine letter of recommends
ton. Mr.. Merrifeld was In the city
last evening hon his way to the Forks.

and the fresh air, charged with
the divine essences which make for
| long lives, should be part Of the games
which the growing men and women
learn. Games of cards are very we'll
for the old who have hopelessly
dropped out of the gay rounds of real
living, Bridge whist and its attend
ant train of games of skill and gamb-
ling, are the pleasures for the dowager
who cluthches the prizes thus won
with an avaricious clutch. Cards for
couple who have grown old together
afford quiet and pleasant method of
entertainment but young people
should taboo them and pay no atten-
tion to them. Life means more than
game of cards where there is good red
blood in the veins.
But if you play athletic games of
skill do not be too strong in your eff
fort to make others adhere to the rules
of the game. You will have your hands
full If you will attend, to your own
game. You will play better and feel
more serene if you allow each to go
on sense of honor. There is such
a thing as being over anxious that
everybody should play according to
rules. People who do this are very
likely to try to make exemptions II.
their own favor.
There was time when croquet was
considered almost immoral, as 1t caused
so much quarreling. It was in high
favor as a game played by church
members at socials and afternoon teas,
but feeling sometimes ran so high over
mooted point in the rules that
friends turned to foes and churches
and societies became almost disrupted.
So strong did the feeling become
against the game that 1t was almost
prohibited as a gambling device.
A little common sense would have
helped keep the balance-but the truth
was that so many of the players were
middle-aged when they began that
they became intoxicated with the
sporting chance" 1t is human to like
the pitting of ones skill against that
of another. Alas, it is also human to
desire to win so earnestly as to some-
times lose the sense of proportion.
If a little more harmony had en-
tered into the game there would still
be seen happy elderly men and wo-
men playing who never touch the mall
lets nowadays.
Listen to a party of young people
wranging over games of skill, whether
it be croquet or pitching horse shoes,
and you will not make any mistake
as to the cause of such wrangling. 1t
is the desire to dominate. 1t is in
part also, the EDITORIAL attitude OF
many. They know what they know
SO well that they do not give others
credit for the same rectitude of pur-
pose and desire TO do right that they
think the have.
Teach children games of all kinds
and teach them to play them honor
ably and tolerantly. II one OF a
child's mates is a cheat he may be
avoided, but it is not worth growing
excited over and quarreling about.
1t is the old game of life. Be sure
you are right in your thinking as well
as in your action Do not talk loud
and find fault and argue. No one sue
ceeds along such lines whether the
game is Of skill in athletics of in BUSH
ness. Be serene and moderate in your
