heard much of this beautiful subdivision,
and had also heard great deal about a
farm that is the pride of the real estate
mans heart.
After we had ridden a few miles to
see his town lots l asked my friend to
take me still farther out in the country
to see the farm.
IAN right" he replied.
Where is it?" I asked.
ut is about half way back toward the
city, was the answer. So we returned
from the town lots back to the city and
stopped at the farm on the way.

about A years ago, and he, with four

Dearest mother thou hast left us,
Thou hast gone to better home,
Where pain, trouble and sorrow cease,
And storms in thy pata shall never
roam.
Oh! dearest mother, how much we
miss thee!
We miss thee at thy usual place;
Oh! dear, we miss thee everywhere,
But the Lord has seen fit to call thee
and He will all our sorrows bear.
Dear Jesus wipe our tears,
And all our SORROWS heal;
For in her death
Oar loss we deeply feel.
Sleep on, deare st mother sleep on
Beneath the sod;
And may we, like thee, when life is
done
Cling closer to thee all.wise and eter-

But yet again, we hope to meet thee,
On that bright and blissful shore;
Where all will be JOY and happiness,
Soon to meet and part no more.
Heaven now retains our treasure,
Earth the lonely casket keeps;
And the sunbeams love to linger,
Where our dear mother sleeps.
Again I hope to meet you,
When the day of life is fled;
And in heaven with JOY to greet thee,
Where no farewell tears are shed.

Cincinnati, May 16.-The two small
sons of United States Marshal Aber-
nathy, who are making a 2.000-mile
horseback journey from Guthrie, Ok
lahoma, to New York City to meet
Colonel Roosevelt, are now several
days out Of the city. Despite bad
weather they are making rapid pro-
gress, and expect to reach New York
long before the ex-president arrives.
The boys are Temple, aged 6, and
Louis, aged 10. They have journeyed
over the whole south alone and the
pride of the southwest. They left
oklahoma City April Is, arriving in
st. Louis ten days later. They passed
through here in happy mood. They
had no maps and trust to the people
along the way to direct them properly.
Marshal Alternately and Colonel
Roosevelt are close friends. Aber-
nathy won fame as wolf catcher
by catching them alive" He has no
fear of them, but they soon began to
avoid them.

Ben Lomond, Calf, May 16.-Jeff-
ries delighted a record crowd of camp
visitors Sunday afternoon by going
four fast rounds with Bob Armstrong,
There was to have been more boxing
but Choynski was slightly i'll and

guests and seemed in excellent spirits.
He did five miles on the road In the
morning, under a hot sun and the
afternoons show lated about an hour
Among the visitors to the camp to-
day were John A. Kelly, acting mayor

WAIT TILL WHEY
GETS THIS PROF.
DR.. MAX BAFF SAYS WOMEN ARE
STILL SAVAGES.-PAINTS AND
WEARS coLoRED GLASS.

Boston, Mass, May 16.-Dr. Max
Baff of Clark College, Worceser, and
a member of the American Medical as
ISOLATION. has come forth with the
statement that there is but little to
choose between present day women and
uncivilized beings, that is from pscy-
Geological standpoint.
Man has outgrown his savage Gus
toms of personal adornment with the
progress OF civilization" says DIR. Saff
whereas woman has remained station
airy If she has not actually refrigerated
Among savages, lies the American In
dian themselves and attaching useless
ornaments to their person. Man has
outgrown these.
Woman delights in feathers, stuffed
bodies of dead birds, even to the barn
yard fowls that lack aesthetic suggest
ion of the forests and bring to mind
only the butcher shop She hangs bits
of gold and cleaning stones on her
ears, wears rings, bracelets and neck
laces.
Savage love Of gaudy colors is ev-
idence of her lack of advancement.
Then again, she wears her hair long,
arranges 1t in fantastic shapes, made
even more grotesque by artificial
means, AS for painting her face. that
Is something that everybody knows.
These are the outer symbols of
her savagery. but the physical and
psychological differences between men
and women are marked Leaving aside
the difference in size and strength and
endurance which are obvious enough.
we note that color blindness is rare
among women just as it is rare among
savages. Like savages, too, they are
prone to religious hysteria Women
are more suggestible than men and in
that same way the women of cur age
and timae are like the simple savage"
DIR. Baff suggests remedies that
might transform women from savag-
cry to some sembIance of civilization
He advises cutting their hair as men
do and wearing less clothes. These
two remedies would prove a deadly foe
to personal adornment and with their
Introduction women would be at least
one step nearer civilization.

DISPUTE OVER SCORE.
D. 3. c.-cOncordia Game Ended I'm
satisfactorily Saturday.

~ D. C'-SoncOruIa tame Ended I'm
satisfactorily Saturday.
The game of baseball between the
d. b. G. team and Concordia college
team ended in a dispute over one score,
which the d. B. G. boys claimed they
made in the sixth inning Linn, the
D. B. c.. catcher, claims he scored and
same was recorded by the D. b. C..
scorer, while the Concordia scorer
| claimed he died on third base. Moth
ing was said until at the end of ninth
inning, when it was claimed by the
Moorhead team that the score was
10 to 10 instead of IL to 10 in favor
of the d. B. G. The feature of the
game was the batting and loose fielding
of both teams. Each team made more
than a dozen hits, many of them two
and three base hits and one home run
by Venues.
On account of the wind it was hard
to judge flies in the outheld The
score as claimed by the D. B. c. team
is:
