Boys.

There are ever so many kinds OF boys
Rollos and Tomnys and Fauntelroys;
Boys that are rude and blunt and
rough,
And boys that are made of a finer stuff.
Boys who try, in their laundering way.
A kindly. ch.valrous thing to say.
And only succeed in stammering out
Some words whose meaning is left in
doubt.
Boys who are awkward. boys who are
bold,
Boys who will never do as they are
told:
Boys who are bashful and painfully
shy.
Who can't be at ease however they try;
Boys who are dull and boys who are
bright:
Boys who are always ready to fight.
Boys with ambition and boys without.
Boys who whistle and boys who shout.
Boys who wheedle n boys who tease,
Boys who wear holes in their trouser
knees.
And of them all, now. which is the
best?
Away ahead of all the rest?
IT'S not a matter we need discuss
He's just the boy who belongs to US!

WILL STUDY THE. MAP
OFFICERS OF NATIONAL GUARD
TO TAKE PRACTICAL COURSE
IN WORK.

e. Orders were received in Devils Lake
this week by the infantry officers Of
the North Dakota National Guard, that
pursuant with section 1861 of the re-
vised statutes, there would be a gath
ering of the leaders at some central
place for the purpose of studying. map
reading and doing general field work.
The order was accompanied by a
blank asking the officers to. suggest
some time in May or June that would
be the most convenient for them, to
get away to do this work. The date
Of the study time will be made most
convenient to the general welfare of
all the officers in the state and also
it will not conflict with the regular
camp at Devils Lake.
According to. the orders, the adju-
tant general believes that the gather.
ing should be held at some post so that
the officers would receive the benefit Of
the presence fthe regular troops.
With this in view the meeting will be
held at Fort Lincoln at Bismarck.
The local officers will gather some
time when they will send in their
blanks to the head office. The men
viii receive pay for the time spent
in the study, which will take about six
working days.

Bismarck. N. D. Jan. 2S.--Therc
will be no fight on the medical bill
that has been introduced in the house.
There was meeting of the interested
parties this evening, when a compro-

mitted to practice and perform minor
surgical operations. Most of the con.

ENGINEERS \ ARE TO
.'LOok FOR SUPPLY
A. B. KERL1N SECURES ENa1-
NEERs TO INVESTIGATE WAT
Err SUPPLY OF CITY.

L. W. Rundlett, city engineer Of St.
Paul, Minn., and w. G. Kirchoffer, a
consulting engineer Of Madison, Wis,
are expected to arrive in the city with
in few days to examine into the
water supply and if possible suggest
remedy for the present condition,
which is rapidly becoming serious
one. Ever since the air lifting ma
chine which was purchased last fall
has shown it's inability to "deliver the
goods" Mr.. Kerlin has been busy at
tempting to provide a remedy. An at
tempt was made, it is understood, to
connect with Freshwater lake through
the Great Northern pipes but this was
not countenanced by the city authori-
ties as permanent remedy for the
trouble.
Mr.. Kerlin, in an interview on Tues.
day with a representative of The
World said: cit is true that I have
engaged two prominent engineers to
investigate the situation. Mr.. Rund-
lett is at present getting all the infor-
nation possible from the Great Nor
thern engineers relative to the geolog-
ical survey and with the assistance Of
the Wisconsin man, who stands high in
his profession, 1 believe we can find
some way out of the difficulty. If we
can locate sufficient water we will hitch
the wells in tandem and with the ma
chinery we have can give the public q
good general service water. Any de:ey
there has been is due to my desire to
get someone here who knows and not
trust entirely to my own knowledge Of
the matter. I expect in addition to
these hydraulic engineers to have an
electrical engineer here to go over our
machinery"

will return and though no contracts

several valuable additions will be made
to the lineup of last year"
Devils Lake last year had team
that deserved the support of the citi-
zens and if the contemplated plans are
pushed through giving this city good
schedule there will undoubtedly be
more than ordinary interest taken by
