Is WOMAN A SAVAGE?

DR.. Max Bah may be a scientist, but
he is certainly not cavalier.
Nor Is he constrained in any degree
by the etiquette of the ball room when
it comes to expressing his opinion in
regard to the fair sex.
In his eyes the daughter Of Eve is
still uncivilized.
She may bewitch with the very
magic of Paradise, but she is never
theless an out and out savage. She has
not outgrown her primitive taste for
gew-gaws. She has not kept apace
with civilization.
But listen infinitely, to the argument
with which Dr. Baff supports his bill
of Indictment. Says he:
Woman delights in feathers, stuffed
bodies Of dead birds, even to the barn
yard fowls that lack aesthetic sugges-
ton Of the forests and bring to mind
only the butchershop. She hangs bits
of gold and cleaning stones on her
ears, wears rings, bracelets and neck
laCes.
Savage love Of gaudy colors is evil
denCe of her lack of advancement. Then
again, she wears her hair long, ar
ranges it 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 psy-
Geological differences between men and
women are marked. Leaving aside the
differences in size and strength and en-
durance, which are obvious enough, we
note that color blindness is rare among
women just as it |. rare among saw
ages. Like savages, too. they are prone
to religious hysteria. Women are more
suggestible than men, and in that same
way the woman of our age and time is
like the simple savage.
DR.. Baff halls from Worcester, Mass.
1t may be that his wife is suffragette,
At any rate-he holds some awful
grudge against the fair sex.

Travellers Tales

They tell a pretty good story on a
Moorhead saloon man. 1t appears,
according to John F. Walsh, the Min
neapolis salesman, that this particular
saloon man had a porter whose partic-
ular duty 1t was to see that the
whisky bottles from which ardent
spirits were poured out for thirsty
humanity, we're kept filed. Now the
barrels where the liquor was kept
were located in the cellar and 1t was
here that the porter was compelled to
do his work. He was a convivial cuss,
this porter. While he wouldn't steal
a cent from anything living or dead,
he would take as many nips of the
whisky as he could while attending to
his duties, and on more than one &C.
casion he came back barely able to
navigate and some one else had to go
after the bottles. The saloon man
thought out a plan to keep Mr.. Porter
from taking a drink while he was in
the cellar and 1T was simple one.
He required the filler of bottles to
either whistle or sing at the top of his
voice while he was at his work when
there was no one with him. This plan
worked all right, but after a weeks
time the saloon man noticed that while
the porter came back from his task
apparently sober and in his right mind,
in about an hour afterwards he would
show up as full as a goose and then
some. The proprietor couldn't under
stand it, and he decided to pay par
ticular attention, Now it is utterly
impossible for a man to whistle or
sing and take a drink at the same
time, and so there was an air of mys-
terry surrounding the case, according
to Walsh, who said: WELL my friend,
the saloon man. after this had been
repeated for day or two, secreted
himself in the cellar just to see how
the porter managed to get the booze,
and it was a neat trick. As he looked
the saloon proprietor saw the porter
filling the bottles for the customers
and he kept whistling right along.
After he had filled two or three he
drew from one of his trouser legs a
pint bottle and this he filled and stuck
again into the copious pant leg. The
mystery was a mystery no longer, for
shortly after going up stairs. Mr.. Por-
ter made several calls to the place
where Is kept the brooms, etc. and
there partook Of his ill-gotten gains.
He's not working there now.

Senator Ramsett, who represents the
Eleventh district in the upper house
of the state legislature, and whose
home is at Fingal. was a business
visitor to the city yesterday and was
a caller on many friends. He came
here with Mrs. Ramsett to place their
niece, Miss Jennette M. Hatch, in one
of the business colleges, where she will
take the full course Of shorthand,
typewriting and bookkeeping. Dur
ing his stay the senator found time
to state that Fingal is growing just
as is every other part of the state of
North Dakota. "Why, our town is all
right" said the senator. There's
something new going up all the time
and we are happy and prosperous. The
farms look nice and there is every in
dication that we are going to have a
real good old-fashioned harvest" The
senator left for his home yesterday
afternoon.

MYERS LIKED FARGO.

Maxbass Monitor: business en-
gagement called the scribe to Fargo
last week and upon arriving there we
were much interested in the business
activity and general air of substantial
progress that is to be seen on every
hand.
1t was fourteen years since our last
visit and Fargo has certainly been
making rapid strides in that time. The
harmony motto of their strong COM
mercial club has done the business and
we see a great future in store for this
progressive city. 1t will not be many
years before the east will take off It's
hat to the progressives methods of the
west and the business men of Fargo
are bending their united efforts to this
end.
With a paper like The Forum, which
is now located in its substantial three
story brick home, built expressly to
produce q great modern daily newspa-
per, with a progressive and broad
minded managing editor like Colonel
Brewer to blaze the way and assist in
the honest endeavor for a greater
Northwest there is no doubt of the flu
ture of this great North Dakota.
We ran across our old friend. w I'll.
Williams, at the hotel Metropole where
he is stopping with his family until he
gets settled in his new home which he
has secured in the incest residence
portion of the city. They are well and
prospecting. Mr.. williams having a. lu-
crative position with the international
Harvester Company
Fargo is certainly fair example Of
q business community that casts per-
sonaI differences aside and works to-
gether for the best good OF all.
