VIEWS FROM OTHERS.

Sheriff Sorenson was down from
Minot yesterday and spent a short
time in Sawyer. He autoed out in
the county south and returning in
time to catch the o'clock train
to Minot. We understand that he
was not here on official business,
but that he was endeavoring to en-
list workers for his fall campaign
as candidate for reelection to the
office of sheriff. Many have express.
ed surprise that Mr., Sorenson in
tends to run on the democratic
ticket, after having been fairly de-
feated on the republican ticket a,
the primaries by E. D. Kelley, and
especially since he had already
positively stated that he would not
do so, Mr., Sorenson cannot possibly
expect to be elected, but by spending
time and money with undoubtedly
reduce Ed. Kelley's majority a trihe;

In face of the fact that in his

is accompanied by good, stauncn de-
mocrats like John l.. Fahey, Halvor
Halverson, democratic candidate for

want to assist In turning the state

be necessary for those republicans
who intend to vote for the head of
the democratic ticket in the state to
give some better reason than tnev
have thus far given for party dis

the burdens laid upon him seem too
great for him to bear. Stop the clock,

You must speak in whispers children,
for your fathers tired and sore, and
he seems to think the ceiling Is some
kind of cuspidore. o, he's broken down
and beaten by the long and busy day;
he's been sitting in the feed store
on a bale of prairie hay, telling how
the hungry grafters have the country
by the throat, how the tariff on dried
apples robs the poor man of his coat;
how this nasty Pinchot rumpus might
be settled once for all-and his feet
are on the table and his backs
against the wall; let him find his
home a quiet and a heart consoling
nest, for fathers weak and weary and

LOCUSTS AND LYRES

by rubbing his strong wiags together
or by rubbing his wings against his
legs. The Greeks tell a pretty story
about locust that played on Tyre,
which was an instrument very much
like the harp.
Years ago the boys of the sunny land
were all anxious to play sweet music
better than their friends. Once two
lads agreed to play in contest to see
which was the better musician. After
the first youth had finished the judge
said: That boy has done so well that
surely he will win the prize" Then the
other Greek took his Tyre. His music
was beautiful. Suddenly a string
broke. Such bad luck, yet the boy kept
on. In an instant large locust alght-
ed upon part of the broken string. In
order to continue the song the boy
touched the broken string. expecting it
to be silent and thus spoil the music.
To his surprise he heard the note, for
Mr.. Locust buzzed just at the right time
and in the right tone to take the place
Of the sound of the broken string. Ev-
cry time the note was wanted the
creature sang his song. When the boy
had finished he was given the prize, for
he had won in the contest. In his JOY
he did not forget to be thankful to his
winged helper. Years later he made a
statue of himself playing the Tyre, on
which his little friend was perched,
singing to help with the music that
had charmed the judges.

HALLOWEEN, THE CHlLDREN'S DAY

Popular belief at one time ascribed to
children born on this day the faculty
Of perceiving and holding communica-
ton with beings supernatural, and the
child who was so lucky as to make his
or her first appearance on halloween
was regarded by his playmates as an
unusual creature.
Among the many games played on
this night. diving for apples in tub
of cold water is perhaps the common
est. Then almost every one has tried
to take bite out of an apple suspend
ed from the ceiling by string and
gotten his nose soundly bumped Tor
his presumption. A game which is
often the cause of much merriment is
played as follows A derby hat is Gov
cred with lamp black or SCOT and in
the center is stuck an ordinary small
pin. The hat is then placed In dark
room and one by one the players are
given the chance to draw the pin from
it's crown with their teeth only. After
they have succeeded in capturing it,
they are led into lighted room, where
they are invariably greeted by the
assembled onlookers with shrieks of
mirth.
Many lads and lassies try to see
their future partner in life on this
night One way is to carry lighted
candle in one hand and a small hand
glass in the other and by holding the
mirror in front of him the aspirant is
suffered to distinguish the face of his
future mate over his shoulder. For
tunes told on halloween are supposed
to be truer than those told, on any
other night.
1t is often customary for groups Of
boys and girls to array themselves in
all enveloping sheets with masks con-
cealing their countenances and thus
attired make the rounds of the village.
Pumpkin parades are also popular
with the young folk, and from dusk
until the midnight hour, when the
good spirits regain command and drive
the imps back to their under regions,
the gayeties and festivities of hallow
cen are indulged in to the hearts con-
tent of younger America.
The San Francisco call., 1910-10-30

OF all the merrymaking days in the
year, Halloween is more truly the chill
dren's than any other on record. To be
sure. mother and father enter into the
spirit OF the time to certain extent
but more to add to the amusement of
the younger folk than for any other
reason. Older sister, for instance, is
much too proud of her hairdress to risk
it's ruin in tub of cold water pur-
suing an evasive apple, while big
brother classes the pumpkin parade
with other childish things, such as kits
and long curls.
Halloween is a relic of long ago,
when everybody believed in fairies
pixies and the like, and the exact time
of it's origin is unknown, some writer's
placing it as far back as the pagan
rule in England, when the ancient
Druids held full sway over the island
In Scotland and ireland the day is al
ways observed with much hilarity In
ireland, particularly, in olden times the
peasant folk regarded it with much SUI
perstition, it being supposed that the
eve of All HalIows which falls on the
31st day of October, was given over
to the rue~of the imps and spirits of
the lower world. Many a rowdy and
village joker has taken advantage Of
the popular superstition to play pranks
upon his neighbor, and missing gates,
door knobs and so forth were in
variaby laid to the door of the pixies.
1t was generally believed that the
fairy folk who watched over the well
fare of mankind claimed this one night
out of all the year in which to right
the wrongs of the upright, godfearing
souls who were imposed upon by their
stronger brethren, and many a coward
with guilty conscience has lain awake
on halloween dreading the summons Of
the avengers.
AS the years passed the belief in the
superstition faded, until now it is OBJ
served more as gala day than any
thing else. In the north of England
it is known as Nutcrack night, and in
the Scotch rural districts it is observed
with many highly amusing ceremonies.
