KIDS With MATCHES
CAUSE Big LOSS

Fessenden, N. D., June S.-Children
playing with matches were the cause
Of a fire which destroyed the two
large stock barns and hog houses on
the farm of County Commissioners
Robert Lyness, FIVE miles south OF
Fessenden. A large quantity Of oats,
sixty tons Of hay, and other feed were
destroyed. Two prize Berkshire hogs
and two blooded colts were burned to
death.
Mrs. Lyness discovered flames issu-
ing from the hay loft of the large
horse barn and in few minutes the
whole structure was mass of flames.
A telephone call was sent to Fessen-
den and the firemen and every avail
able man was rushed to the farm in
automobiles. BY hard work the &c.,
900 residence was saved.
The loss will amount to approx
mately $4,000, partially covered by
insurance. The horse barn was one Of
the largest stock harms in Wells
county. Mr.. Lyness was away from
home at the time and could not be
reached by telephone until after the
fire.

Mrs. Guthrie, addressing the Club,
said:
Before giving this keeper Of the peace
to the new presidedt wish to thank all
of you for your kind support and hear
ty cooperation this year. The sea has
not been an entirely unruffled one, yet
the waves have not dashed so hard nor
so high as to founder our little barque.
For eleven years now it has weathered
the gales and I hope it may make them
many times eleven more. To me the
year has been a pleasant and profitable
one. Have not embraced the opportu-
mites presented as should, and as
could, but have been greatly benefited.

Mt. View Lodge, No. ITO, l. O. O. F.
held splendid meeting January 7th,
|. w. McCluen, N G., presiding, with
some 25 or 80 brothers in attendance
A great deal of routine business was
disposed of. The sick brothers, R. F.
Pippin, E. D. Staley, C. J. Davis and
w. R. Poston were all reported as Sc
riously bad off.
The Secretary reported 172 members.
There was none suspended for non pay
ment of dues, which is remarkable, con-
sidering so many of the brothers are so
far away from the Lodge. Mt. View
Lodge is in line with a great many
lodges in this jurisdiction, thinking the
grand lodge is growing entirely too ex-
travagant in the /. 0. 0. F. home
management, as in all lines of business
spendthrifts are not successful mana
gers. When fancy appearances cost too
much money they should be leftof in
great measure, especially so, when so
many little lodges are burdened with
their own expenses in caring for it's
unfortunates.

present term was affected by Bro. B.

Now with a good strong phil by both
officers and brothers the present term
will be prosperous one. All brothers
should take an interest in and use exer-
ton for the upbuilding &c. Just after
tho brothers engaged
actively and earnestly in partaking of
a sumptuous banquet prepared and
brought in evidence by Bro. A. L.

it was good to be there. All who can

ingratitude and embittering memories.
AS our poet member says:
If we could take our jewels, the past years,
And wash them clean with penitential tears
And string them fawess on lifes golden chain,
Wee face the future years with Joy again.
But since these jewels are forev er gone
We can, alas, but with regrets atone
And with renewed resolves, softened by tears,
Carve purer jewels from the coming years
A spontaneous burst of applause was
the resprnse to this address delivered
in her own inimitable manner, and to
further emphasize our approval of Mrs
Guthrie as presiding officer during the
past year, at the suggestion of Mrs. A.
Algood, the Club came to its feet in
unanimous vote of appreciation.
Business having been disposed of we
turned to pleasure, pleasure not un-
mixed with sadness, for the Whitney
family are leaving Cookeville for the
South. So Mrs. Whitney was called
forward, and, in a few well-chosen
words, Mrs. Wilson, in the name of tha
Club, presented her with a souvenir
sugar shell. small token of the high
esteem in which Mrs. Whitney is held
by every member. A coreial mutation
was given the Club to meet with Mrs.
Whitney year hence in her Florida
home.
After refreshments the Club adjourn

At the usual hour on Wednesday af-
Jan. II, at the home of Mrs.

;all, and the business of hearing the
'ecretary's report and the minutes, and
adoption of same, paying of dues, etc.,
having been attended to, the meeting
vas turned over to the leader, Miss
Copeland. Chapters five and six of
Scudder's ''Social Ideals in English
letters" were discussed with interest.
During the social hour Mrs. Ford, as
listed py her two lovely daughters,
erved refreshments, and the time for
djournment came all too soon. The

"A Valuable Lesson to Learn.

A friend of the writer, when a
young man, although of very linn
tied means, left his Southern
home and spent several months
IN prosperous agricultural Sec
tion, working on farm, with a
view of studying progressive agri-
cultural methods. After his re-
turn a neighbor, in an attempt to
belittle his attempt to learn by
visiting other sections, asked our
friend what he learned while a.
way studying fancy" farming.
The reply was that he had learned
many things, but the one that he
had regarded as probably worth
the most was that he had learned
How u real farm ought to look"
Twenty years later, although
our friend had passed through
seasons of hard work and desper-
ate struggles and had lived in
Typical Southern section with it's
SCARED and quilted fields and un-
painted buildings, he had won a
marked success, and not guile
marred the beauty of his splendid
farm and the nicely kept lawn
and tastily painted farm build
ings,-including barIs and other
out-buildiDgs as we'll as the house,
showed that he had not forgot
ten the lesson learned many years
before.
Now it is folly for any one to
state that this man was able to
paint his farm buildings because
he was successful He painted
: them before he achieved success,
and the spirit and taste which
caused him TO paint his farm
buildings filled up the gullies and
clean up and keep tidy the whole
5 farm, was the same spirit of pro-
I gress and good sense which en-
abled him to achieve success in
5 his farming. He did not do these
T things because he had more mon
ey than his neighbors, but ne had
. more money because he did such
e things TAFT Butler, in Raleigh

Keep Your Troubles to
Yourself.

"Why ! Lost My Positi on" il
the subject of a practical talk t.
business girls in the Septem Der
Woman's Home Companion
Here is one good peice of advice
told in story form:
GA catastrophe recently over.
took q business acquaintance OF
mine: at forty she lest a position
which she had evey reason TO think
was hers for life. Death had re-
moved a long suffering chief and
had given her new one. The
first man had become accuston ID
to the little tale of woe Vith
which she prefaced the mornings
work-the pneuralgia which had
marred her nights rest, and the
petty annoyances of suburban
travel. In reality, she has few
real aches and pains and she a.
dores committing. Her old chief
had learned to run through his
morning while she rambled along
conversational lines. The new
chief considered rambling waste
of the firms time. He did not
stop to remember that his prede-
cessor was partly to blame for the
unbuslnesslike conduct of his
stenographer, nor her long years
of faithful service; he simply gave
her two weeks notice, and secur-
ed a stenographer more to his lik.
ing.
Just because your employer
possesses more than ordinary self
control, and does not tell you
bluntly that yon annoy him, do
not imagine that he is satisfied
with a chattering orgigling work
er. Probably he has dropped a +,
hint or two which you hove ignor-
ed, and he is now waiting a plaus-
sble excuse TO Sud you in search
of a new position. So, if you have
good position which you would
like to hold, why not occasional
ly take personal account of stock?
