CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
BY A. w. MACY
RIDING THE STANG.

In the north of England it was
formerly the custom to punish
wife-beating, hen-pecking and
other fraiities incident to mar
ried life, by a peculiar process
known as "riding the stang" 1t
was so called because the leader
was borne on "stang," the
north country word for a chair
fastened on two poles. In south
ern England the process is called
trough music" The offender
was called upon by a company
of men, women and children and
treated to a loud and hoisterous
serenade, the instrument being
cows horns, fire shoVels, tongs,
frying pans, pot lids used as
cynbaIs, tin pals, and other i'm
pIements ard utensils capable
of producing loud and discordant
noises. Along with the din the
serenaders would keep up con,
stant hootine and yelling, and
make many jeering remarks to
the cuIprit. If one application
was not sufficient, the perform
ance would be repeated; some
times, in flagrant cases, every
evening for a week. This form
of punishment is known to have
been meted out to wife-beaters as
late as 1862, and there is some
ground for believing that the
custom still survives among the
lower classes in some parts of
England. In this country newly
welded couples are sometimes
treated 60 sererade somewhat
resembling the above ceremony,
but it is always good-natured
and does not carry the idea Of
punishment. We call 1t "chariv-
arI," pronounced "shiv-a-ree."

THERE are some women who live for
nothing but clothes. Think Of that!
Bits of chiffon and lace and silk make
up their whole existence. They sew for
weeks and months IL they are poor,
shutting themselves out from the
blessed air and sunshine-yes, even
from the companionship of friends-in
order to have what they consider APP
propriate trousseaux for the different
seasons.
II they are rich they waste almost
the same amount OF time going to diff

Ing out the stores and matching their
samples. Their one agony is lest they
may not get the very latest shape in
hats or the newest dictate from Paris
In regard to skirts.
Pale, listless and worn to shadow
from lacing and the bad air in dress
making establishments and shops, such
women go through life without getting
any real pleasure or benefit from IT..
They are merely manikins for the lat

GREAT NORTHERN
BUSY GRADING

Esmond, N. D., May 12.--It is con-
fidently expected that the Fargo New
Rockford Minot cutoff of the Great
Northern, which passes fourteen miles
to the south of Esmond, and also the
Drake Devils Lake. Fordville cutoff of
the 500, which passes nine miles to the
north of Esmond. win be completed
this year.
Officials of the 500 drove from
Drake along the course Of the new 500
line across Pierce county, a few days
ago. and while they gave out no in
formation regarding the intentions of
the company, their presence here is
significant. All but three or four pieces
Of their right of way from Drake to
the eastern boundary of Pierce county
has been decided. and for the remain
ing tracts condemnation proceedings
will probably have to be brought.
Since November deeds have been rec
orded in Benson county every few
days. Probably three-fourths of all
the grading from Drake to the eastern
border OF Pierce county, or the west
ern border Of Boston county, has al
ready been completed. No grading
has yet been done In Benson county.
1t is said the Great Northern has
resumed grading operations on its
line, and If the Great Northern COM
pletes its cutoff it is expected the 500
will not fail to follow the example.

FARGO CHURCHES WILL OBJ.
SERVE NATIONAL MOTHERS
DAY SUNDAY MORNING AND
EVENING - CARNATIONS WILL
Be WoRN-FEATuREs OF DAY.

Mothers day. which has become a
universal day of observance in all the
churches and schools of the country,
will be generally observed in the Far
go churches Sunday morning and eve
ming. Most of the churches will hold
special Mothers day services in the
morning, but the evening service cat
the First Baptist church will be de-
voted to the observance of the day In
stead.
At the First Congregational church
DIR. r.. A. Beard will preach a sermon
appropriate to the occasion. The
church will extend welcome to all
and all should wear a white carnation.
Those not supplied will be provided
with a white carnation at the door
There will also be appropriate music.
At. the Baptist church there will be
special choral service arranged es-
pecially for the occasion, and other
numbers and features, including an
orchestra, which will mark the day as
one Of the most impressive Of the
church year A large chorus will
render several numbers and junior
chorus, consisting Of about fifteen
voices, will supplement the other
selections of the evening. Rev Mr.
| Peterson's sermon will be devoted ex-
clusively to the subject of Mothers
day, and it will be one everyone
should hear.
| Rev. Mr. Walters Of the First
Methodist church will hold a specia
Mothers day service Sunday morning
as will also Rev. @. r. Adams at the
First Presbyterian church. Nearly al
! the churches will have special music
for the service, and the sermons will
| be well worth the hearing. Every
minister in the city is anxious to have
large congregation and if the daj
is fair they all feel there should be M
excuse for one to stay away on so i'm.
portant day.
Rev. C. F. Sewrey of the Broadway
Methodist church will discuss Woman
kind and Motherhood. At the conclu'
sion of his Sunday morning servic'
each man attending will be presented

church. Everybody is cordially invit
ed to all of these services.
Everybody attending Mothers da!
services at any Of the churches is re
quested to wear a white carnation il
honor of the many mothers in tn
land. In some places two colors
flowers are worn on Mothers day,
white carnation in memoriam, and
red carnation to denote that the par
ent is living.
This feature will not be preserved I
Fargo this year, however, and all tn
ministers simply request the wearin
of a white carnation.
