FORMER FARGO LADY.

The Nashville Tennessean is very
much impressed with the ambition of
Mrs. E. B. Winship, the former Fargo
resident, to secure an additional edu-
cation-despite the fact that she is so
years young. 1t says:
The announcement, in the current
news, a short time ago, of the entrance
of Mrs. Winship, at the age of 80, to
the Ohio State university as a student,
has set on foot an immense amount of
discussion and speculation as to when
people really are old. OF course, we
have not drifted far away from the ia
miliar assertion that, "a woman is as
old as she looks and man is as old as
he feels" And we have not forgotten
that others decree on the subject that
"a man is as old as the condition of his
arteries may determine"-which may
be just as true as the other, but not SO
clear to the layman in matters physio-
logical and anatomical.
1t does not appear that much light
can be thrown on the matter by the in
formation furnished in regard to the
new student in the Ohio university
She is entering upon a course of study
in electricity. 1t is not reported that
she purposes becoming a practical
electrician to the extent of taking up
any branch of electrical engineering or
anything of the kind Her own state
ment is that she seeks, simply, to en-
large her stock of education, to be-
come better informed concerning some
of the material interests of the times
In other words, her object is to attain
to more liberal education
Doctor Osler, with his unusual sense
of unusual humor, might regard all this
as a sort of grim joke. But this young
old lady is manifestly much in ear
nest. If there shall be any publicity
! given to her course as student and it's
results, the whole matter will become a
| subject of wide interest. The world
is growing better and wiser all the
time. And with it's increase in wisdom
and goodness it is learning to cultivate
| increased happiness and usefulness.
! Here's to Mrs. Winship. May her
days be prolonged and may she succeed
| SO well in her electrical studies that
she may be able to impart to her fellow
beings. lessons that may aid in applying
the powers of electricity to the pro-
longation of human existence.

dates-it appears to be the duty OF the
attorneys to make the selections.
1t is understood that the three men
are not personally satisfactory to either
of the gubernatorial candidates, G. A.
johnson, the republican nominee, re-
fused to endorse the selections because
he was strongly in favor Of Judge Goss
of Minot and wanted him as one Of the
three. Governor Burke is reported to
be opposed to them as he favors at
least one other man.
So far the efforts to keep the matter
out of politics have succeeded-and
The Forum hopes it will continue till
the close of the campaign-and may
the three best men win

Travellers Tales

The Forum receives many letters of
more or less humorous purport. From
out in the western part of the state
a letter came a short time ago. 1t
is simply a justification of the case
against the landlord of the yellow

thrust ON hirA at Srokane yesterday
when he was elected as the head of the

Egeland Enterprise: 1t is crafty
ing to note how heartily people all
over the state of North Dakota en-
dorse the course pursued by Cong.
L. B. Hanna. North Dakota has never
had a representative in that body at
Washington, who has proved to be a
more valuable and truer representa-
tive of the people and state than has
Mr. Hanna. He has made good and
has been true to every trust. The
democrats themselves, who are fight
ing him politically, but not person
ally, admit that he has accomplished
many things for the people of North
Dakota, during his two years in con-
gress, where others have failed, and
that he has been very able man in
congress. His majority in the pri-
mary election, above any other cam
didate on the ticket has proved that
the people of North Dakota are
pleased with Mr.. Hanna's good work
in congress and want him to continue.
It is believed that Mr.. Hanna will be
elected this fall by a much larger
majority than at the primaries Tow
ner county is one of the counties that
gave HON good majority for the
nomination and we believe that he
will carry the county again this fall
by a good majority.

HUNTER FALLS FROM
TREE ONTO LIVE BEAR

Husum. Wash.-Falling on top OF
a live bear alternating under two
feet of snow and brush was the ex-
perience related by a hunter from
Stevens county a few days ago. Rob
Lyman was over on Buck creek.

ters of that stream, looking up indi-
cations of the bears winter headquar-
ters, when he made discovery that
was not down on the program.
In crossing over some fallen trees
he lost his balance and took high
dive into a snow bank, his gun land
ing ten feet away. To his surprise
the ground appeared to come up sud-
denly, tossing him under a tangled
mass of brush and snow. For time
1t was difficult to know whether a
big brown bear was anxious to hike
from the premises. or Lyman. But
the bear was still running when Ly-
man recovered his gun.
