Woman Beat Two Men

We suspect you'd like the tale. how a
woman beat two hardware dealers in
Girard, Pa.
Devoe salesman tried his best to get
those men to sell Devoe lead-and-zinc in
that bright town, and failed. Reluct-
antly took Mrs. Il. K. Bowman, drug
gist.
They said they couldn't sell paint for
more than 81 25 gallon. Mrs. Bowman
can. She has sold about all the paint,
that has been sold there since.
She knew Devoe has sold his artists
materials Had some sense and force,
besides she easily learned that cheap
is dear in paint. and told the people.
MIR. Burt Young bought gallon Devoe
for rooms that had always taken q gal
lon Of other paint had half left.
Mr.. John Hanna, grocer, thought it
expensive before he bought it brought
back nearly half of his paint, and said
it was the cheapest job he ever had.

by flying glass.

performance this evening and were re-

"As final glance at the campaign
situation" said w. H. Shure. secretary
of the Cass county republican central
committee, today. Il feel very secure
about the result in Cass county. I
think the whole ticket will be elected
in the county and that no candidate
need rest on the uneasy seat Every
man named by the republican party
this year is hard to beat

situation has only been general" he
continued II am inclined to believe
there will be a surprise for the hope
full democrats tonight. And as for the
state being carried by either party
by such big majority as predicted
it Is my opinion that the winners eth

jority of 5000.
From the work of the county COM
mittee this year, feel that the state
ticket will carry Cass county. Aud

GIRL SCREAMS FOR HELP
Tough Youths at Dickinson Attempt
AsssuIt-Giri Shields Her
Bstrayers.

Dickinson Press: Thursday night
at ~ o'clock, the people living in the
neighborhood Of the library were
aroused from their sleep by the
screams of a girl coming from behind
the library, who was the victim of an
attempted assault and outrage.
Telephone messages brought Chief
OF Police Corbett to the scene and the
fellows FASTENED to get away but not
before the officer had fired, probably
wounding one.
The girl in the case belongs to one
of the respected families in the city
but so far foolishly refuses to give the
names of the fellows who were with
her. 1t is, however, certain that they
will be apprehended and should get
all that is coming to them.
The disgraceful scene of Thursday
night should arouse the people of the
city, and especially the parents, to
know where the boys and girls are
spending their evenings and what they
are doing. Reports are frequently
heard of undue liberties allowed on
the streets, of lettering in out-of-the-
way places, sitting on fences at un-
reasonable hours. 1t is high time that
this be stopped or there will be many
repetitions of the affair of Thursday
night.
What about the curfew ordinance?

PAVING BLANKS
READY TO sign
CITY ENGINEER ANDERs HAS
NUMBER OF PAVING PETITIONS
IN HIS OFFICE READY FOR USE
OF PROPERTY OWNERS FOR
PRESENTATION TO COUNCIL.

A number of paving petitions have
been prepared and printed for use and
will be found ready to sign i'm the
offices of the city engineer in the city
hall. The blanks are for the use of
those property holders who reside or
own property on such streets as will
need paving this next spring. They
can be procured at the engineers
office.
A number of streets on the south
side will need paving badly this spring
and it is the plan Of the city engineer
to present a uniform scheme of paw
ing which will make that portion of
the city one of the handsomest resi-
dence sections of Fargo. About two
weeks ago Mr.. Anders' ideas and views
on the matter were quoted at length
in The Forum.
Since then there has been consid-
cradle agitation on the part OF prop
erty owners in that section of the city,
who endorse his proposition and are
anxious to see them pushed through
the city council and adopted. 1t is
altogether probable that the question
will be brought up in the council for
the first time at the adjourned session
next Monday night.
1t is Mr.. Anders plan to either pave
the south side streets which need at
tention, with paving brick or asphalt,
and to lessen the distance between the
curbing thereby cutting materially the
expense which will be incurred in re-
paving them.

When a Woman Changes Her Min,

When a Woman Changes Her Mind.
The effect of a womans within upon
two lives is pictured with rare touch
by Margaret Deland in The Way to
Peace (Harper & Brothers). While a
man and wife are visiting in the neigh
borhood of 2 Shaker community the
wife is impressed by the peaceful as
pect OF the life and Is carried away by
an impulse to join the community.
which she does. The husband is pa
tient and uncomplaining and keep in
touch with the Shakers gradually COM
ing under the influence Of their tents.
After two years the wife finds herself
ready to leave the community and re-
turn home, but is confronted by the
fact of her husbands conversion to
Shakerisnl. He joins the community
and she leaves it and the conclusion of
the story Is not conventional The
sentimental play of a woman's emo
lions upon her convictions il delicate
" pictured as we'll as the shock that
comes with the discovery that one can
not with IMMUNITY follow the notional
changing of ones mind. There is fine
art and keen diagnosis of human feel
ing in Mrs. Deland's handling of this
theme.

AFTER ELECTION
THINK IT over

The excitement of the campaign has
claimed most OF your attention and
perhaps you have overlooked the great
opportunity lying right at your door
that means more money in your
pocket than does the result Of your
election.
The Hendrickson Clothing store of
Moorhead is going out of business.
The Closing-Out Sale that is being
held there now is positively the big
gest sale in the history of this locali-
ty and means the end Of the Hend-
rickson Clothing Co. and the disposal
of its entire high-class stock OF new
winter goods to the people OF North
Dakota and Minnesota.
Crowds of buyers are visiting the
great sale daily Those who bought
at the beginning are coming back to
NIL more of their needs because they
found the values great and the pre-
chases just as represented
The great success OF the sale is ac-
counted for by the desirable character
Of the goods that are in this magni-
ficent $4,000 stock, by the magnitude
and genuineness OF the bargains OFFER
er, and by the timeliness OF the sale
The advantage to the buying public OF
being able to buy complete winter out
fits at cost, just at the beginning of
the season when other stores are SELL
ing at regular prices cannot be over
estimated. Every man, young fellow
and boy, should visit Hendrickgon's
and see whether or not his demands
can be met at the big savings this
sale gives, before he let's this chance
pass BY buying elsewhere. visit
Hendrickson's at your earliest con-
venience, 5O6-5OS Front street, Moor
