O,tting Even ], a Poor LIte Purpo.e.

NNNN~1 eNNA - - ~ @NA@~ =
The man who lives to punish an
enemy has q poor excuse for existing.
Getting even, wreaking revenge, is
too mean . purpose for a noble life
to set itself to. No large heart or
mind has room, and no life that Is
worth while finds space. for such q
passion. Il is q mistaken notion to
imagine that strength Of character is
denoted by memorable hate or un-
yielding vindictiveness. They are
the signs Of weak character. Of q
small soul. How can elements that
corrode and burn and disintegrate at
the same time build up? That is
what the elements or the passions of
revenge and hatred do. They leave
the life that harbors and nurtures
them bereft OF substance that was es-
sential to growth and development.
Lofty ideals cannot live in an at
mosphere that bresthes the incense
OF sordid purposes Deeds worth
doing never come from a hand that
devotes itself to such connivance.
The.man who cannot rise above per-
sonal injury, to say nothing OF peeye.
Is too lame n creature to reach a
high round of usefulness. All law
contemplates some offense and some
pain, and no one is above law. But
law that Furnishes does not act from
the spirit of revenge. The parent
who chastises a child in anger has
done worse than spare the rod and
spoil the child" That is mot the
purpose OF parental oversight. 1t is
not the purpose of civil law to wreak
vengeance, but to visit justice where
IL is due. The state holds no grudge
against the meanest criminel. Why
should individuals demand more
than the state?

SCHOOL Meeting Was
HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL
DRiSCOLL'S NEW CONSOLIDATED
SCHOOLS HAD FINE EN-
TERTAlNMENT.
Rooms Were Decorated in Attractive
Manner With Product Of Prairie
and Field.

A most interesting and inspiring
teachers and parents meeting was
held in Driscoll last Saturday after
noon. Tho teachers and pupils of the
Driscoll consolidated schools had dec
Grated the room in most artistic and
tasty manner with the products of the
neighboring farms. All kinds of
grasses, grains, corn and vegetables
were displayed giving the visitor the
impression that he was in the Bur-
leigh county room at the great expo
sition recently held in Bismarck.
This is comparatively new fea-
ture in the educational work of our
state, but the idea is good. Its aim
is to bring the school ans the home
in closer contact, and what can be
more appropriate for decorations in
school room than the things which
are raised on the farms around the
school? The teachers in the Dris-
coll schools certainly set worthy
example for other teachers to follow
and they deserve our most hearty
commentator for their efforts. 1t
no doubt caused the children and the
parents to talk in the honey about
the. coming meeting and the decora-
tions and the result was a well
packed room with appreciative lis
teners.
The program opened with some
we'll rendered motion songs, games
and plays by the little folks from the
primary department, in charge OF
Miss Lucille Wilson, after which the
program was carried out substantial
ly as given in the Tribune few days
ago. The teachers taking part had
given their subjects much careful
study and their papers were both in
structive and interesting. Miss Eunice
Bracket, principal of the Driscoll
schools, gave an able discussion OF the
teaching of agriculture. This sub
Jet is destined to receive a promi.
nent place in our school course Of
study in a very near future and the
teachers will be required to meet the
demand. Those present were given
MANY valuable hints which they will
take with them into actual practice in
their schools. The papers read were
all of a high order. do not know
that have enjoyed any teachers
so thoroughly as l did this
one. Several teachers drove in over
Is miles which goes to show that we
have some of the right spirit among
them.

KEEP THE kidney WELL
Health 70 Worth Saving, and Some
Bismarck People Know How
To Save Il,

Many Bismarck people take their
lives in their hands by neglecting the
kidneys when they know these or
gans need help. Sick kidneys are
responsible for vast amount of sui
fering and i'll health-the slightest
delay is dangerous. Use Doan's Kid.
ney Pills-a remedy that has cured
thousands of kidney sufferers. Here
is a Bismarck citizens recommen-
dalton.
John Myers, 304 s. Ninth St., Bis
marck, N. Dak, says: about five
years ago I began to suffer occasion
ally from backache and here was a
weakness across my loins that made
it impossible for me to lift. Stoop-
ing caused sharp twinges through
my kidneys and finally dull, throb
bling ache settled in my loins. The
kidney secretions became irregular
in passage and though I doctored, l
did not seem to improve. Finally I
obtained a supply Of Doan's Kidney
Pills from the Lenhart Drug Co. and
as they helped me from the first, l
continued taking them until I was
I'll. Since then on one or two oe.
casions, I have used Doan's Kidney
Pills and they have always acted
satisfactorily.
