transferring her hand and fortune
from Count Bonl TO the Prince de
Sagan, she sold out her holdings in
Missouri Pacific to obtain ready money.
II was time of financial stress, so that
George Gould was unable to take over
his sisters shares. The countess not
only took loss in the selling, but she
also sold out the control OF the Gould
family either unwittingly or without
caring.
So that Anna's foreign alliances have

notoriety and money. but also their SUI

Economically, the history of the
Gould family illustrates how little
after all the American people have to
fear from great wealth. Even Jay
Gould had his economic uses. He de-
veloped as well as destroyed, and he
fastened the day of long railway sys-
tens in the place of strings OF local
lines. Great wealth in the hands OF
succeeding generations loses control

A Man of the WnrId.

When Rachel Crothers wrote A
Mans World, the four-act play in
which Miss Mary Mannering appeared
before large audience at the Walker
operahouse last evening, she appears
to have been reading the reflections
from a human mirror and to have rec
orded very many of the human char
acteristics common to the most OF
mankind-and women, too The play
is intensely human. And, too, lust
as Miss Crothers makes one of the
players declare the book by Frank
Ware, the central woman figure of the
story is a bully good book, SO the YER
dict of those who saw the show was,
1t is bully good show"
The story is as old as the story of
love itself. A woman wronged died
when her child was born as a part of
her punishment. The child was adopt
ed by another girl who allowed scandal
nongers to weave a story about her
name rather than tell the truth, pre-
terring to protect the Riddle"
She was preaching the doctrine of a
new cult, that men and women should
be measured for their wrongs by the
same rules, and she learned to loathe
the childs father because he had al
lowed the wronged girl to go out alone
IN the world to bear her shame and
child to bear the stigma "Kiddie' was
born under.
She, of course, fell in love with the
child's father and the force of the play
comes in her sending him away when
he refused to accede to her demand
that he confess he had erred in his
treatment of the child's mother.
Miss Mary Mannering has strong
story to tell in her play and she has a
capable company to help her tell it.
There were parts of the third act that
seemed hardly to measure UP to the
high standard of the play as a. whole,
BUT they were brief and the play pleas
ed. There are many tense situations
when the force of a woman of strong
character rises to face a crisis, and in
all these Miss Mannering satisfied and
at times delighted.
Miss Mannering was strongest at the
end of the third act, where her clever
artistry aroused the audience to high
pitch of enthusiasm.
Mark Short, the Kiddie, was evident
ly girl. Boy or girl, the work was
clever.
Chas. Wingate as Fritz was a splen-
did character. His work got him APP
plause second to the leading woman.
Alphonz Either was handsome
lover. but his lovemaking was not a
convincing characterization.
Helen Ormsbee as the unloved and
ENJOYABLE and maid artist, was es-
pecially good in the lugubrious plant
she sobbed out to Miss Mannering
about never having had a sweetheart
in all her life.
The rest of the cast was satisfac-
tory

FRIDAY, FEB. "a, 1910.
cHILDREN's HOME.

superintendent Hall of the North
Dakota Children's home sounds a note
OF warning against S. B. los, intro
duced by Senator Pierce Of Ransom
county. The bill multiplies the duties
of the state humane officer and divides
the responsibility Of caring for the or
phaned children of the state.
The home has done such noble work
in the past that it would be mis-
take TO handicap its efforts by a dupIi-
cation of authority.
In The Children's Home Finder, Of
fetal publication of the society, there is
an extended statement on the situa-
tion. The home seeks no appropria-
ton from the state-being supported
entirely by voluntary subscription by
charitably inclined people OF the state
This will prevent an additional bur-
den Of taxation.
1t seems that Governor Burke nam
ed w. A. Blake as state humane agent
to prevent cruel treatment of dumb
animals. This is a very worthy cause.
1t is understood Mr.. Blake did some
good work. Later, however, apparent
ly without authority-he branched out
in the children business and invaded
the field heretofore occupied by the
North Dakota Cnildren's home, the St.
Johns Catholic orphanage and other
elementary institutions.
AS result the present legislature
was called upon to make an appro-
priation for deficit in Mr.. Blake's ex-
pense account.
The Pierce bill provides for a $4,000
salary, $1,000 expense account and
for counties expending not more than
$500 for prosecution of individual
cases.
The Forum feels that Mr.. Blake
should either stick TO the animal side
Of the game--or If he is the best man
for caring for children-the North Da-
kota Children's Home society should
discharge Superintendent Hall and
place Blake in charge. There is cer-
tainly no necessity for a duplication
of effort-and the resultant confusion
from conflict of authority.

ARE MICROBES
in YOUR SCALP?
1t Has Been Proved that Microbes
Cause Badness.


Professor Unna of Hamburg, Ger
many, and DR.. 'Sabourand, the leading
French dermatologist, discovered that
a microbe causes badness. Their the
DRY has time and again been amply
verified through research experiments
carried on under the observation Of
eminent scientists. This microbe
lodges in the Sebum, which is the
natural hair oil and when permitted
to flourish it destroys the hair folli-
cles and in time the pores entirely
close, and the scalp gradually takes on
a shiny appearance. When this hap
pens there is no hope OF the growth
of hair being revived.
We have a remedy which will, we
honestly believe, remove dandruff, ex-
terminate the microbe, promote circu-
lation in the scalp and around the
hair roots and overcome badness, so
long as there is any life left in the
hair roots.
We back up the statement with our
personal guarantee that this remedy
called Rexall "93" Hair Tonic will be
supplied free of all cost to the user
IL it fails to do as we state.
1t will frequently restore gray and
faded hair to it's original color, pro-
viding loss of color has been caused
by disease; yet it is no sense dye.
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic accomplishes
these results by making every hair
root, follicle and pigment gland strong
and active, and by stimulating a nat
ural flow of colorinR niement through
the hair cells.
We exact no obligations or promises
We simply ask you to give Rexall
"93" Hair Tonic thorough trial and
il not satisfied tell us and we will
refund the money you paid us for it.
Two sizes, prices so cents and $780,
Remember you can obtain it in Fargo
