names that centuries cannot forget,
an among these names will appear
| that of Abraham Lincoln. he will
stand to the future as those old Ro-
man statesmen stand to us, only
brighter, for there will be nothing
to soil the beauty Of his fame. Ter
rible as was the tragedy of that
April night, yet it may be sadly true
that Lincoln died at the right time
for his own imperishable fame
His life work was finished without
failure and it was fitting that his
precious blood should be the last to
be shed in the stupendious Struggle.
He had called over two hundred
thousand heroes to lay down their
lives and then his own was laid down
beside the humblest private soldier
or drummer boy that fills the sacred
moulds of Shilo or Gettysburg. In
an instance, as it were, his career
crystalized into that pure white
flame which belongs only for the
martyr for justice, law and liberty.
We have no Westminster Abby,
with it's time-defying monuments in
which to enshrine our great and
honored dead. We do not need it.
but here and there, in quiet church
yards, we have laid them to rest.
And SO the great Lincoln was
taken from the scene of his
achievements and glory back to his
old home, among friends and neigh
bors at Springfield. There with the
nation and the world for his mourn
ers, he was buried. Yet we shall
still hear his words in every school
house and college, in every cabin at
every public meeting. We shall
read them in newspapers, school
books and magazines; even here in
cur little Circle, because they are all
in favor of right, and liberty and
truth, and of honesty and reverence
to God. Though dead he yet
speaketh'' and his words will still
shape the national character and his
teachings will prolong the life of the
republic and if Providence sends us
Lincolns enough it will live forever
and the government of the people,
by the people and for the people
shall not perish from the earth.''

The Cost

If we had never known, dear,
The glory of sweethearting;
We would not weep alone, dear,
And know the pain of parting.
If JOY had never blessed us,
We never had known sorrow;
If love had not caressed us,
Grief could not come tomorrow.
Who knows no darkened hours
He never loved the sun.
He never loved the flowers
Who holds no withered one.
Who has not in wild gladness
Clasped life with eager breath
Can never know the sadness
Of one sharp pang of death.
But for the things we've had, dear,
We never could know loss;
But for what made us glad, dear,
We need not bear the cross.
O Heart, amid thy weeping,
Remember through thy tears
How memory is keeping
The treasure of the years;
No star in Heavens meadow
Shines till the day is done;
There could not be shadow
If it were not for the sun.

Kiss Detected Drinkers.

1t may be said without fear of
contradiction that there is no custom
so universal, and so common to all
people of the earth, as that of kiss
ing. The kiss is one of the oldest,
if not the oldest, custom in the
world. It's origin dates back to a
period before history was written,
and the kiss appears and reappears
in various countries and various ages
in one guise or another, either as a
demonstration of love, mark of affec-
ton, of sign of reverence or venera-
ton. The custom of kissing may
have originated with the Jews, but
it is more likely that it was an old
custom even in the days of Noah.
1t is altogether probable that it had
it's origin in sort of spontaneous
combustion" in the garden of Eden.
But no mention is made in the Bible
of an exchange of courtesy through
the lips in the garden of Eden, al
though the custom may have been
too old even then to deserve passing
comment. AS custom the kiss,
among the Jewish nation, was con
fined to kissing with the lips in the
case of relatives and kissing on the
cheek in case of friends. The Gus
tom was widespread and was merely
a mark of affection and friendship.
Travellers having business with
the Jews came to admire the Jewish
custom of kissing and helped to
spread the gospel of the kiss among
the other. nations of the earth.
The Romans proved adapt pupils
of the Jews in this respect and the
custom of kissing became flourish
ing institution among the Romans
at al. early date.
When kissing became the rage in
ancient Rome the significance at
taching to it was modified. 1t be-
came customary for the early Christ
ians to kiss each other before The
service, as an indication
Of brotherhood. By custom the kiss
became graduallya useful instrument
and it became the prerogative of any
one to kiss any woman at sight.
The theory was that as the use of
wine and intoxicating beverages was
women by law, by kissing
a woman it was possible to ascertain
if she had broken the law and i'm
bibed from the flowing bowl. Itwas
great in those days to be police
man in Rome. But somehow ugly
were never suspected of hav-
ing taken nip, and the result was
that all those naughty Romans stood
around on the corner waiting for
pretty women to pass that they
might sample their breath and their
lips, too. This may or may not be
the origin of the corner loafer. Of
course, this promiscuous kissing be-
came great evil and public nuis
ance, especially as crowds would
gather around good looking women
and tie up traffic. The Emperor Au-
gustus, as well as Tiberius, 9. little
later, found it necessary to enact
lawsprohibiting kissing on the streets
and after the ordinance was enforced
the kiss was used in smaller doses,
much as it is used today. But the
Romans were the apostles of oscula-
ton and diffused the practice in con-
junction with their war business.
From one end of the known world
to the other they licked the men
folks and kissed the women Elk.

John J.. Vertrees, who defended

A well known lawyer is telling a
good story about himself and his eff
forts to correct the manners of his
Office boy. One morning not long
ago, the young autocrat blew into his
Office and tossing his cap at hook,
exclaimed: Say, Mr.. Blank, there's
ball game at the park today and
Pm going"
Now the attorney is not a hard
hearted man, and was willing the boy
should go, but thought he would
teach him lesson in good manners.
Jimmie" he said, that isn't the
way to ask favor. Now you come
over here and sit down and I'll show
you how to do 1t.
The boy took the office chair and |
his employer picked NY his cap and
stepped outside. He then opened |
the door softly holding the cap in his
hand said quietly to the small boy
in the big chair:
Please sir, there is ball game at
the park today; if you can spare me
l would like to get away for the af-
ternoon."
In a flash the boy responded:
Why certainly Jimmie, and here is
fifty cents to pay your way in."-

proved horse for farm use, many
farmers actually trying to do this by
breeding the same mare to Percteron
stallion this season, to a Clydesdale
the next, to jackass the next, and so
on Indefinitely. 1t is high time to
abandon the foolish policy of tndis-
criminate horse breeding.
Let US see how we can improve on
this method. First you must select
one of the draft breeds. l will not
attempt to tell you which one 1t should
be. That should be governed by your
own liking. Let us first consider the
brood mare. Farmers often expect,
and wrongly so, that ten or twelve
hundred pound mare mated with a ton
stallion will produce high class draft
colt. Violent crosses OF this sort
should not be made. Breed like to
like" and like will be produced with
a fair degree of certainty. The nearer
the mare approximates the sire In
blood. in type, in conformation. and
In temperament, the better will be the
outcome of their mating. An extra
good sire does not necessarily Offset
all the weak points Of the mare. No
matter how fine may be the sires used,
it Is slow uphill disappointing work
to build up a fine stock of horses from
understood mixed-bred poorly formed
mares. 1t is an insult to the sire to
mate him with such mares. and his
opportunity for great good Is ruined
thereby. Stations have come to US
from abroad that have made great rec
ords among mares of their own breed
and type at home. Here they are
mated hopelessly with unsuitable
mares, and their breed has often been
wrongly blamed for their failure. The
brood mare. to produce typical draft
stock, must herself be of draft type.
that is, low down, wide, roomy, COM
pact, strong in muscle, with good flat,
clean, f1inty bone, free from undue
coarseness. especially good in legs,
joints and feet. we'll set hooks, reason
ably long sloping pasterns and good
large well shaped hoof. If you can
possibly afford it, and are sure that
you will take proper care OF her and
her colts, by all means have pure
bred mare. But If you won't take good
care OF them you had better leave that
part Of the business to those who win.
u We should have more pure-bred
mares in our northwest. The Interna-;
stional exposition has proven. time and
again. that ours can raise as good a
draft horse y; $ any other country on
earth. Then why should We be, send.

to do so through his Dealings, and &C.
Quaintance with eastern breeders, and
his better knowledge of horses, and
their values. He Is in a position to be
of great service to you, and to save
you considerable sum Of money.
j; From now on, let us see to it, that
every colt born on the farm is sired by
q good, sound, pure-bred stallion; and
from the best brood mare that we can
afford to own. Let us be sure the
youngster Is well fed and cared for
during the first winter. and right along
until he is fully matured. always bear.
ing In mind that the stunted colt never
makes full sized horse.
/ In short, If the farmers will pay
more attention to breeding their mares
to the very best stallion that they can
secure, instead of to the cheapest, or
the most convenient one. as many of
them now do, and If they will take
proper care Of their brood mares and
colts, they shall find that this Is the
most profitable stroke of business that
they can put into effect on their
farms

Assistant City Engineer Ivan Nc
Ilrath of Grand Forks for the next sew
eral weeks will be engaged in making
a Typographical map and other engine

for the state sanatorium for tubercular
patients at Dunseith. The state has
some 240 acres of land selected as the

and Mr.. McIlrath is employed by the
board in charge to survey the land,
make a Typographical map, solve vari-
GUS problems in connection with sew
age and also a water supply. With
this preliminary work completed, the
board will then be in a position to go
ahead with the work.
