are too poor to pay for their member
ships and need the influence OF the
association. Several business men have
expressed a willingness to give a prize
to promote the work.
Lectures Given.
Professor Randlett OF the A. C. has
been interested in the work and is
planning to help out in the proposition
with a series of lectures About three
lectures will be given the boys who
enter the competition before the work
Is started.
These lectures will be continued
throughout the summer at intervals Of
about once each week, and will al
ways be given with the idea OF in
struction. Trips of inspection will be
made at the different gardens and on
such occasions suggestions will be
given the youngsters regarding their
work.
Seed Given Free.
The Fargo Seed House has signified
its willingness to furnish free of
charge the seed that will be used by
the lads. With this provision made
the work can be carried on at prac-
tically no expense to the. boys and the
poorest lad can enter into the field OF
competition.
The lads will be given all the vege-
tables they raise, except those used to
be judged upon by the judges who will
award the prizes. In this manner they
will make little ready money for
themselves by the sale of their pro-
a. -
the best variety.
Next Years Work.
Next year 1t is planned TO allow girls
to enter the competition, which will
be of different variety. Flowers will
be raised, as well as vegetables and
garden truck.
The competition will be carried
along in the same line and the general
basis will be like the one this year
with the exception of girls being en-
tered as well as boys, and flowers will
be raised.
The Park Plan.
With the permission of the park
board, 1t is expected that a tract of
land somewhere in the central part OF
the city will be secured and this
turned over into a small park Here
the young landscape gardener viii be
given the opportunity to work out his
and her ideas, and they will have the
absolute care Of the park, except for
the direction OF an older head.
The work is also expected to go into
the present park property, where an
effort will be made to beautify the
Fargo park grounds and increase the
civic pride of the city.
This gigantic proposition is expected
to receive the sanction of the CONNER
cial club at the meeting tomorrow
evening. superintendent Hoover of the
city schools and Hugh Miller score
| tary of the boys department OF the
Y. M. G. A, were in consultation to-
day on the proposition and the outlook
for the success OF the AFFAIR seems
most encouraging.
Mr.. Miller said 10 a representative
of The Forum this morning that in
his mind this was going to be one OF
the biggest things that Fargo could
undertake for the civic 'betterment OF
the city.

BY DOLLY DALRYMPLE

In contrast with that gentle wife who "coddled" her grouchy husband with kisses and caresses, is the story that clever lawyer told me the other day of one of his clients-an ungentle person who when her husband declined to kiss her and show signs of his amatory atti- tdde toward her, smashed his head with a hammer.
 "I wish you might talk with the re- taliatory lady, said the lawyer man. We've got to make report on her san ity ard maybe your opinion as a judge of your sex's oddities might-er-er throw some light on the subject. She very near ly killed her husband and was herself hurt by a policeman when she fought against arrest"
 This grows interesting" I exclaimed. Tell me the whole story.''
 Mary is common but pretty sort of creature, and always showed the ut most suitability. I'm told" my lawyer man related. Never did she show any hatred of her husband. John had been tie. amioable. and he gave her most of what he made. She had every reason 10 have and 10 hold him
 Maybe she just naturally lost her taste for him." I suggested
 My lawyer man ignored the levity and continued his story.
 "WheI I went to see my client I inn pressed upon her that she had made a great mistake in her behavior. You are accused of trying to kill your husband"
 q did my best to accomplish that end" she replied quickly. T smashed his head with a hammer"
 why did you wish to commit such a cri,ne?" I asked.
 Gently she replied:
 "I wanted to kill him because I am a woman who needs love and affection, and he prt his ed 1t when he married me, and he didn't live up to his contract. l was lovirs wife, as my husband would testify if he were not prejudiced."
 You say you are affectionate and yet you are murderous?" remarked.

AN ATTRACTIVE RECITAL

Probably no severer test of pianist's ability can be found than the rendition of an entire programme before critical audience. A musician of average ability may present one or two numbers accept ably, but the excellent memory, interpre- tative ability, variety of style, boise and endurance requisite for the presentation of an interesting programme command ones respect and admiration. All of these qualities were evinced in a large degree by Miss Stella Gertrude Wood on the occasion of her certificate recital recent ly given at the Mendelssohn School of Music. Although quite petite and child like in appearance, Miss Wood evoked a sonorous singing tone from her instru- ment and displayed 8 surprising amount of ease and strength in difficult pass ages. Particularly was this noticeable in the Liszt rhapsody and the Hitler concerto, both of which numbers abound in bravura passages.
 Miss Woods pedal work was partic- ularly excellent as she was able to pro- duce the purest legato without over tapping harmonies in the least The SOL emn chords in "Ase's Death and the ever beautiful Evening Star,' were particu- larly impressive. This beautiful round legato was also apparent in her execution of her own composition, "Evensong," which exhibited not only the training she had received in harmony and compost ten. but breathed spirit of innate poetic feeling IS well.
 Miss Woods teacher Mrs. Monetta Stribling Wells, presided at the second piano and played the accompaniments for Miss Montague, whose rich mezzo-so- prano voice was heard to advantage in the two numbers contributed by her to the evenings enjoyment. Miss Woods friends are pleased to note that she will continue her studies. Much will be ex- pected of her as she is a sister of Anna Lou Wood, the charming coloratura so- prano.

 'But your husband loved you" I ob- seIved. He worked like dog for you and gave you nearly all he made,'
 That's just like man." Mary said, vehementy. "They think that's all a woman wants. Board and lodging. I married Jim because l believed he would leye me and caress me and fondle me and kiss me. all his life long. Every woman thinks that the right kind- of hus hand will provide her with clothes and food and the necessities of life. That's natural. After the first year we were married, want to tell you, that I might just as well have been a chair or a coal scuttle or a settee on the front porch, for all that Jim ever showed any signs of affection. He'd pat his dog S head in passing, and go by me, his wife, without even as much as looking at me. And that's how it all happened. He came home one night, and after we had eaten our evening meal in silence he be- gan to write. I sat and looked at his hack sLst as long as I could. Somehow

I wanted to kiss him; he pushed me away and said Let me be. I've got to finish this report"
 Sobbing convulsively, Mary continued:
