The water he drank was worth "a

cold and pure! And it rushed and
rolled and rippled from the very feet
of a grand old magnolia tree, a tree
whose regal blossoms were at
Johnny's own disposal.
The wood folk often talked to
Johnny for he was a queer lad. He
knew them and he loved them. He
had no brothers or sisters and no
books, and couldn't read anyway His
father worked on the river or in the
distant mill or almost anywhere, and
his mother was interested in her work
and loved to gossip with her neigh
bors when she had a chance to visit.
And besides, she, herself could hardly
read, so johnny, who really loved the
woods and the strange creatures who
lived there, spent much of his time
among them.
There was one particular place on
the river, a place where a little sort
of bayou or lake was formed by re-
peated high water and washouts, that
Johnny thought very beautiful. Here
in quiet pools you could see just lots
of fish with now and then a gar or a
turtle. There were great clumps of
swamp lilies growing here, and when
they blossomed so silently. SO white,
so sweet, Johnny felt such thrills of
joy over them as few souls know.

The owls always told him a great

air which said: "Of course / know, but

There is no sermon, and the only part
played by the congregation in the ser
vice consists of an occasional pro-
cession of one or more to the front to
kiss relic or light taper at some
shrine. These minor ceremonies appear
to take place quite independently OF
the main ritual which is conducted by
the priests within the gates of the
sanctuary itself.
The onIooker has a confused impress
sion of priests appearing and disap-
pearing, now in dull black robes and
now in gorgeous garments glittering
with embroidery and gold: of white
tapers on affairs richly 1T sparkling
through clouds of aromatic incense;
of kissing of books and relics and of
interminable chants uttered in a long
drawn monotone.
The congregation, except for a few
of the very devout, seem to pay little
attention to the priestly functions.
Now and again all heads will bow
beneath some sudden impulse like a
field of corn at a sudden gust of wind,
but as the words of the chants are
said to be in old slavonic it is doubt

the heads of the people wave banners
with strange devices borne by acolytes

boards and flowing robes.
The procession moves to the accom-

at first conveys the impression that

1t is bitterly cold day in January

down upon a little township in one
of the remote corners of Eastern
Europe. A few rows of small, wooden
houses with here and there a building

extending in length for about a mile
and a half and varying in depth from
half dozen rows to one solitary line
of struggling huts are huddled to-

swamp, now frozen mass of witnered
reeds, an abode OF utter desolation in
winter, and in summer the abode Of
countless myriads of mosquitoes and
other insects Of similar sociable habits
1t is holiday today and the quay that
stretches along the side of the frozen
Danube is deserted save for one ragged
gendarme, who seems almost too over
come with cold and ennui to attempt
to prevent any smuggling from the
few ships lying alongside the quay,

ergetic enough to try. But there are
no signs Of life aboard the vessels nor

loaded with grain from the upper
reaches of the great river and remind
ing one, with their curious Greek
names, of the classic days when the
Argonauts took back from these re-
gions their tales of the frozen Hyper
borean to the sunny isles of Greece.
Above the steamers the tall grain
elevators stretch their gaunt arms in
idleness, and the only sounds that dis
turb the stiffness are the voices of
the black sea- crows, that still, as they
hop across the broken ice chatter as
their forebears did in the days when
Ulysses came to Calypso's magic isle.
For weeks the little town has been
cut off from the rest of Europe by
the freezing of the Danube and i'm
memorial custom has fixed upon this
day to celebrate the return of spring,
so anxiously awaited with it's promise
of the breaking up of the ice.
In the early part of the morning
while the rest of the population are
arraying themselves in gala attire a
few men have been busy clearing a
space near the quay and buildings, a
large cross out of blocks of ice cut
from the frozen river. Hard by they
place a tub of water also drawn from
the liver, and a small table with a
pair of silver candfesticks completes
the paraphernalia for the ritual to
follow.
About ten o'clock there are signs of
activity along the wharf which con-
stitutes the main street of the town.
A few idlers, busy like wasps doing
nothing, stagnate around the cross of
ice and are gradually Joined by others

II TRADED | De } AUTO
FOR SLOT MACHINES
...... BADLY SIUNG

FARGO, N. D., Aug. 5-Carl Void
came up from hendrum day before
Yesterday to sell his automobile and
he sold it.
He received for it four slot ma
chimes worth $25 each and $1O IN
cash, which was part of rather pc
culiar flimflam game, of which ne was
the victim. Mr.. Void is we'll KNOW,
business man of his town and ne mao
machine which he desired to dis
pose of at $500 net.
In some manner he became &C.
ouainted with three men and they
engaged him in conversation, he told
them his object in coming here and
thew in turn told him about the slot
machines which they said each took
in $40 a day, he wanted to know why
thew wanted to sell them and was
told that they were tired of the busl-
ness.
He explained to them after they
had offered to trade the four machines
to him for his auto that he had no use
for the slot contrivances, but they said
he could easily sell them, and thus
the dicker went on. One of the trio
left the party for a few minutes but
returned again.
Not long after a we'll known COL
ored man appeared on the scene and
he was part of the plant for he at once
began negotiating for the four slot
machines and finally agreed to take
them for $500, at the same time hand
ing to Mr.. Void $40, for by this time
he had agreed to take the machines.
After this bargain was made the
three men got Mr.. Void to 60 to a
notary public, where he gave bill of
sale of his auto for the four machines |
The coon was to have appeared yes
terday morning and pay the $500 due
on the four slot machines, but Void
was told when he appeared at the
pool room where the coon was en-
ployed that he had been called sud-
denly to Grand Forks.
1t was only then that Mr.. Void saw
that he was bilked. Now he wants
to recover his machine and unless
it is turned over his attorney will
cause complaints to lodge against the
three men and the coon for fraud and
swindling.
1t is expected that the case will be
settled in some manner tomorrow.
City Attorney Shure has been engaged
by Void.

BARRIERS Plan ]. .
RAISE RATE

Ten cents for a neck shave will be
the order if the efforts of the NORTH
Dakota BARRIERS Association are sue
cessful. The annual convention-will
be held at Fargo Tuesday, and one Of
the main objects is to get the Fargo
BARRIERS IN line for this raise. Al
present Fargo makes no extra charge
for neck shaving, Grand Forks has a
charge of five cents, while Devils
Lake and Minot have boosted the
price to ten cents. Unless the barber
in Bismarck is stopped before he
shaves the neck it costs you nickel
extra.
While the proposition of increas-
ing the price of neck shave is the
one which is of greatest interest to
sition to be considered by the conven-
ton. A movement is on foot to oper-
ate a central supply store to enable
the BARRIERS to get their supplies cheap
er tand keep their money in The state.
Other matters of interest will also be
discussed.
The association has been organized
little over two years. The organizer
was A. N. Ekler of Minot, president
of the state board of barber examin-
ers. Mr.. Ekler has been in Grand
Forks for the past few days attending
a meeting of the board and arousing
interest among the local BARRIERS.
The last meeting of the association
was held in Devils Lake last February
and the Fargo meeting is an adjourn.
ed session Of the Devils Lake conven-
ton.
A unique feature of the association
is that both the bosses and the journ-
eymen are included. The journeymen
Of Grand Forks and Fargo are men,
bers of the international union. The
association does not aim to destroy
the union but seeks to bring the en-
ployers and employees closer together
for thei rmutual benefit.
The Fargo meeting will be presided
over by E. M. Sitter of Minot, first
vice president in the absence of B.
Mullen, who held the position of pres.
ident prior to his removal west.
Ed Richardson Of Devils Lake is
secretary.

ONLY One COUNTY
YET TO REPORT

The state bord of equalization did
not meet until 2 o'clock this after.
noon on account of the fact that the
assessment returns are not yet all in.
Williams county is now the only
county out with the exception of Am
brose city in Divide county.
The county board of William just
completed it's labors late Saturday and
Auditor Aaen telegraphed State Audi
tor Brightbill that the real estate ap-
praisement would be mailed yesterday
and that the personal would follow
today. As soon az these returns are
in the state board will then be in posi-
ton to get down to work, but not until
then.
The annoying delays are caused by
the negligence of the townships as
SCISSORS. In one township in a certain
county of the state the assessor failed
to make his report and after frequent
notices to which he did not respond,
the sheriff was sent out to bring in the
returns. He found the assessor in a
state of great anxiety. Finally the de-
linquent confessed that he was unable
to make up the returns and that he
could find no one in the county who
was competent. This condition is
probably responsible for much of the
delay.
Many county auditors and commits
sioners arrived in town last night and
today to meet with the state board
this week and from now on the ses.

Deputy State Auditor Jorgenson has
been the busiest man around the state
