What Education Did For Two
Snowbound ProSpectors.
BY o. HENRY,

copyright, 1901. by the Mcclure company.
IT'S the opinion of myself. Sanderson
Pratt. who sets this down. that the
educational system of the United
States should be in the hands of the
weather bureau. can give you good
reasons for it. and you can't tell me
why our college professors shouldn't
be transferred to the meteorological
department. They have been learned
TO read, and they could very easily
glance at the morning papers and then
wire in to the main office what kind
of weather to expect. But there's the
other side of the proposition. | am
going on to tell you how the weather
furnished me and Idaho Green with
elegant education.
We was up in the Bitter Root noun
tainS over the Montana line prOsepct-
ing for gold. A chin whiskered man
in Walla Walla. carrying a line of
hope as excess baggage, had grub
staked us, and there we was in the
foothills pecking away with enough
grub on hand to last an army through
a peace conference.
Along one day comes q mail rider
over the mountains from Carlos and
stops to eat three cans of greengages
and leave us a newspaper of modern
date. This paper prints a system of
premonitions of the weather. and the
card it dealt Bitter Root mountains
from the bottom of the deck was
warmer and fair, with light westerly
breezes."
That evening it began to snow, with
the wind strong in the east. Me and
Idaho moved camp into an old empty
cabin higher up the mountain, think
ing 1t was only November furry. But
after falling three foot on a level it
went to work in earnest, and we knew
we was showed in.
When the first snowtlakes fell me
and Idaho Green laughed at each 9th
er's jokes and praised the stuff we
turned out of a skillet and called bread
At the end of three weeks Idaho makes
this kind of a edict to me. Says he:
Il never exactly heard sour milk
dropping out of'a balloon on the bot
tom of tin pan, but | have an idea
1t would be music of the spears COM

This way we goes on for two or three

One morning Idaho was poking
around with a stick on top of a little
shelf that was too high to reach. Two
books fell down to the floor. started
toward 'em, but caught Idaho's eye.

HELPING HUMANITY.
Father and Son Viewed Conditions
From Opposite Standponts.


From Opposite Standpoints.
Twenty years ago, says the Chicago
Advance, a discouraged young doctor
IN large city was visited once by his
old father, who came up from rural
district to look after his boy.
We'll. son." he said. "how are you
getting aIongT.
I'm not getting along at ALL" was
the disheartened reply. I'm not do
ing Il thing"
The old mans countenance fell, but
he spoke of courage and patience and
perseverance. Later in the day he
went with his son to the free dis
penSary. where the young doctor had
IN un ,HHried position and where he
spent IN hour or more every day. The
father sat by. silent but intensely in
tercSted spectator. while twenty five
poor unfortunates received help. The
doctor forgot his visitor while he bent
his skilled energies to the task. but
hardly had the door closed on the last
patient when the old man burst forth:
Il thought you told me that you
were not doing anything. Why, If l
had helped twenty-five people In a
month as much AS you have In one
morning | would thank God my life
counted for something"
There isn't any money In 1t,
though" explained the son, somewhat
nbashed. Money" the old man shout
ed. still scGnfully. Money! What
is money in comparison with being of
use to your fellow men? Never mind
about money. You go right along at
this work every day. I'll go back to
the farm and gladly earn money
enough to support you as long as
live-yes. and sleep sound every night
with the thought that | have helped
you to help your fellow men,"

days after he would announce that

then remonstrate that this destroyed

be engaged. Then Hugo would attack
the stage setting. Old scenes that

an insult to these great artists. If

SHREWD VICTOR HUGO.
Quiet Way In Which He Bulied the
Theatrical Managers.

Here are the methods which Dumas
the elder and Victor Hugo employed
when they had new play to offer to
the theater. Dumas would write to
the director of the Porte st. Martin:
My Dear Friend-I shall bring you on
Monday a play in five acts | shall need
Mile. Georges, Nine. Dorval, Bocage. Lock-
roy; Provost and five new scenes.
This extravaganza would alarm the
director. who would put off the pro-
duction of the play till better days.
Then Victor Hugo would appear and
shyly draw manuscript out of his
pocket. He would agree to everything.
The stock company would play his
piece admirably. since all he wanted
was good ensembles: no new decora-
tions would be needed nor any change
at all
So the piece would be read, and as
the roles were distributed Hugo would
say musingly, "Dieu, how fine Freder-
lex would be In that partp' "That is

Aberdeen, s. d., Dec. 21.--Two cases
of peculiar disappearances have been
recorded in South Dakota within the
week. Peter Schroeder, young farmer
near Garretson, who was married last
spring, was taken sick a few weeks
ago and had to undergo an operation
for appendicitis. After he left the hos
pital, he was advised by his physician
to quit farming, and he held a public
SALE disposing of his effects for about
$4,000. After paying few minor
debts about the town, he went to his
wife, handed her $40, and informed her
he was through with her. and left.
His present whereabouts are unknown.
The young wife has gone to the home
of her parents near Pierre.
Henry Smock, farmer living four
miles northwest of Twin Brooks, Grant
county. disposed of his grain and other
property, and left note with a neigh
bor asking him to look after his
stock for a few days. Then he left for
parts unknown, taking his wife with
him. 1t is claimed Smook left num-
Der OF debts behind him.

Cheese WAS ON The JOB
North Dakota Town Almost Depopu-
lated Because of Practical Joke
With Limburaer.

Lawton Republican: J. w. Dona-
hue, one of our bachelor farmers, was
standing in one of the business houses
one day last week, watching the busy
throng, when some one with malice
aforetho1ght, slipped a nice fat slice
II limburger cheese into one of his
pockets. The room was warm and the
cheese began to get in its work early.
People standing near began to ask
questions regarding Mr.. DIS health,
and by this time John began to i'm
agine that he was coming down with
typhoid fever or bubonic plague.
Shortly after he left for the hotel to
take dinner and when one of the
dining room girls was waiting on him
was suddenly taken ILL., and had to quit
About this time the cheese turned
over and groaned and all the boarders
left the table, remarking they did not
care for dessert. Then the cheese
rolled over some more and John
thought he was getting Aslatic cholera
and started for the drug store to pro-
cure relief. When he arrived the peo-
pie all left and shortly after he put
his hand in his pocket and found the
garbage pile. Words failed to express
his Indignation and John has been
heard to remark that If he knew who
the blankety, blank blank, was that
slipped the cheese into his pocket, he
would shoot him on sight.

JAMESTOWN'S fine
new LIBRARY
RECENT REQUEST IN DICKEY
WILL OF $4,000 ASSURES
THIS,

Jamestown, N. D., Dec 21.-The re-
cent bequest in the will Of A. e. Dickey
of $4,000 for library, and $1,000 for
the support of a reading room in mem
DRY of his father, will give jamestown
library facilities second to none in the
state.
The growth of the library move
ment at jamestown is typical Of what
can be accomplished from small be-
ginnings by judicious and enthusiastic
cooperation. 1t was started as a
reading room in 1902, supported by
aid from A. e. Dickey and by mem
bership fees. In 1908 it was organ
lied by Miss Miller of the state IL
brary commission and made free for
the circulation of books.
From that time it's development has
been phenomenal. The number Of
readers increased from 220 in 1908 to
1851 in 1910. Rooms were given it in
the city hall where heat and light were
free. An annual appropriation was
made for expenses and a trained
librarian, Miss Alice Paddock was Sc
cured.
OF especial help in this development
has been the continued interest and
labor of few devoted workers in
Jamestown, chief among whom has
been Mrs. A. M. Burt, whose efforts
toward library extension has been un-
firing.

SCHOOL TAKE EFFECTIVE
WAY TO CUT OUT NOR
AL EVILS.

Wimbledon, N. D., Dec. 21,--At a
meeting Of the Boys Commercial club
an organization of high school boys
for the purpose OF promoting an inter
est in athletics, the resolutions given
below were passed. The best part of
the resolutions Is that they originated
with the boys themselves. Great cred
1t Is due the captain of the basketball
team, Ralph L. Berlin. who introduced
and championed the resolutions. Every
effort is being put forth to have the
club rooms in readiness at the be-
ginning of the second semester.
Resolved: That any boy of the
Wimbledon public schools, wi4o uses
tobacco, frequents pool halls or shakes
dice thereby forfeits his chance of a
place on all athletic teams and also the
privileges of the Boys Commercial
club.
Resolved: That the Boys Com
mercial club petition the board Of edu-
cation for the privileges of fitting up
the vacant room on the first floor of
the high school building for a club
room; that the aid of the Ladies'
Study club be solicited in fitting up
this room as a first class reading
room, that the room be open from to
e9 O'Clock six evenings each week
during the school year, and that the
privileges of the room be extended to
the young men of the town.
Resolved: That these resolutions go
into effect at once.
