SATURDAY, MAY {, 1911.
WHY NOT GO TO CHURCH,

Sunday is the day set aside for rest
and devotions. If you haven't been in
the habit of attending church services
in recent years--try 1t tomorrow. Get
up a little earlier in the morning than
usual-go to some place OF worship
mix with devout people. II it should
do you no real good--it will certainly
not contaminate you.
Fargo has great many different de-
nominations. Many Of the churches
have able and eloquent pastors. There
is sufficient variety to please the most
particular.
Even If the discourses Of the clergy
men should fail to attract or benefit
perhaps some simple invocation may
arouse memories long forgotten-and
lead to holier and higher thoughts.
The church music cannot be over
looked. The deep tones OF the organ
the well trained choirs will delight.
Some familiar songs will be heard-re-
viving tender recollections Of early
childhood and youth--and Of devoted
and sainted mothers.

ANOTHER DEAD LETTER.

The Tacoma Ledger amuses it's read
ers in a recent issue with description
of how Washingtons new anti treat
ing law works-or fails to work-in
Tacoma.
Two men enter dramshop and one
OF them asks the bartender for drinks
for himself and his companion. The
bartender points to a new legend, mo
treating allowed and shakes his head.
However, the purchaser may ask for
q drink and a cigar (the cigar being
for his companion), and Immediately
his friend can purchase drink and a
cigar-and thus each has treated the
other, and each has obtained a drink,
which he wanted, and has obtained a
cigar also, which neither may have
cared for particularly.
Still the law has been kept-accord-
ing to the letter and as far as it posi-
bly, can be-though in fact it has been
made void.

INDIGNATION" MEETINGS.


When the house first decided not to
start impeachment proceedings against
Judge Cowan, some fellows--with po-
litical AK to grind-buncoed few re-
formers" into holding Indignation"
meetings.
A sufficient number Of spineIess
members OF the lower house were in
fiuenced by the gatherings in four
towns of the state to change their
vote.
The net result is 100000 expense
account the taxpayers of North Da-
kota must pay.
Now that the senate impeachment
court has found Judge Cowan not
guilty-it's up to the "indignators" to
''indignate" some more.
Their disappointment must be great.
It is generally contended that under
the North Dakota law there is only one
Improbable offense for a district
judge-habitual drunkenness. On this
charge only three of the forty nine
members voted that Judge Cowan was
guilty.
Not single majority vote was given
on any charge. There was only one
tie vote. At least two OF the three alb
sent members of the senate were
known to have been believers in the
innocence of the accused.
The clique responsible for the heavy
expense to the state-the bitterness
and ill-feeling created-must rather
feel their efforts were misdirected.
They have, of course, the personal
satisfaction of knowing they were the
means of causing Judge Cowan, his de-
voted wife and his family much worry.
Probably that is sufficient gratlfca-
ton for their small souls and a safety
valve for their spite and spleen.

TABLOID HOUSEKEEPING.

The Chicago Record Herald has the
following comment on the modern
methods Of housekeeping in large city
fats:
Engaged couples who are wondering
how to adjust loves young dream Of
married bliss to the high cost of living
may find message of joy in the an
nouncement that new building on the
south side consists OF room apart
ments, each ingeniously fitted with dis
appearing furniture so as to give all
the comforts of four or flve room fiat.
The bed disappears into recess in
the wall ventilated from the outside; the
kitchen and pantry appliances in like
manner become invisible when not in
use; the wardrobe has a similar
change. BY pressing a few buttons the
apartment may be transformed into
kitchen, dining parlor or bed
room at will. During the day it has
all the appearance of a comfortable
living room. 1t is the climax of tab
loid living.
The housekeeper with time no
lions of the need Of plenty of room may
be aghast at the notion of this sort of
housekeeping, but 1t obviously win
have many advantages. II the new
building is a success we may look for
extension of the disappearing idea. It's
application to the fiat of the future
may solve the servant-girl problem.
The possibilities of the one-room fat
would seem to be unlimited for young
couple-until the arrival Of the baby.
What could be done with the baby?
Perhaps 1t also could be made to dis
appear in the wall and reappear at the
pressing of button.

Tales Of the Street

Charlie Blakesley recently lost one
of his fancy chickens and few days
ago he received the following letter
which offers suggestive clues toward
catching the alleged thief:
Buffafo, N d.. Charles Blakesley.
Dear Sir: see your ad. in The
Forum and want the $40. Kindly find
out IL fellow whose first name Is
Cliff Il do not know his last onel was
In Fargo when the rooster was stolen.
If he was. in Fargo you will find
feathers on his clothing and If you will
swear out a warrant in Buffalo, this
evidence will be enough to convict
him. In fact you do not need any
evidence to convict him of stealing
chickens-where he is known.
Your truly.
i. S. Brown.
Blakesley believes that there is
certain knight of the grip in Fargo
whom he can now ask some peculiar
questions regarding his missing
rooster.
Bill Grasse went into a country ho-
tel in the western part of the state
a few weeks ago to eat his noon day
meal. Bill asked the freckle-faced
waitress what she had to eat and 1t
didn't sound good. He thought he
would order something special.
Now you may bring me in a bat
ter of scrambled eggs said Bill.
Make 1t about four eggs. Then
bring me in a little coffee and some
bread and butter and that will be all
for today, guess
The waitress looked at him and then
started for the kitchen door. Bill likes
salt quite well and the remembrance
of his liking just came to his mind
as the lady of service reached the
kitchen door,
"Say, Sarah" That wasn't her
name, but that's what Ell Firma Bill
called her. Il like salt fairly well.
Just mix in that batter a little salt.
Put I'm about as much as you could
put on quarter"
When the scrambled eggs were serv-
ed Bill looked at the feast most ad-
miringly, He took a portion into his
plate and proceeded to eat. But one
bite was enough. 1t was sea salty and
then salty some more. In fact the
cigar salesman began to think it was
all salt.
Say, waitress" he fairly shouted,
II thought told you to put as much
salt in this batter OF eggs as would
go on a quarter. 1t tastes like you
had dumped whole salt mine in it,"
mo, sir. No, sir" replied the girl.
"the cook didn't have a uuartar CO
she did the best she could, sir. she
shook salt off on four nickles and five
pennies, and put In just what the
money would carry, sir"
And then Bill laughed.

MARRIAGE.

There is note Of universal kind in
an item which comes from Chickasha.
Okla, where husband and wife have
become involved in a somewhat odd
ENHANCEMENT.
An agreement was signed by both the
man and the woman before the we'd
ding ceremony was performed. The
woman was to receive the sum of $3.50
per year for every year she lived with
the man--on condition that they should
ever decide to separate.
A separation, sooner or later. might
have been considered inevitable. un-
der the circumstances. 1t appears
that the woman began to worry very
soon after the marriage ceremony was
performed. She feared that her hus-
band was not saving enough money to
pay her $3.50 per year-in the event
that they ever decided to part. And
so burdensome did she make his life
that the separation has now occurred.
aid in collecting the money due her.
1t is not difficult to frame arguments
against the marriage that Is binding.
or difficult to break. Liberal" minds
inquire why the word Of the minister
or the official should be respected
when it is so often obtained readily
for small fee-from people whose
lives may be in no manner sanctifed.
The answer must be that the mar
riage tie-as II is recognized and re-
spected by the world as whole
serves as an anchor when the storms
pass. When the god or goddess proves
to be of clay-there is a speedy i'm
pulse On the part OF the youthful and
disillusioned to run away from the
partnership which has been formed.
But the restrictions established by
church and state serve to stay those
who are wounded and impulsive. In a
great majority of cases there grows
out of the infatuation of youth-an
affection which recognizes in the de-
throned idol needy, struggling crea-
ture, that aWakens compassion and
patience-and deep sense of duty.
Soulmating and provisional mar
riage would be all right IL life lay all
On the surface. People who are ca
pable of growing-and who make their
prayer daily for growth of the right
kind-accept the old ties-and count
on the old rewards.

Of the price paid for the poem.
The whims of collectors cannot be
accounted for on any reasonable
grounds. They are In a class unto

will probably agree, however, that the

Gray's Elegy is. perhaps, one of the

language. There Is probably not a

the United States who has not either
