MARITIME EXPRESSIONS.

Marittne expressions used metaphor.

This last metaphor is extremely an.

Athens in the same way A Tamil
saying embodics like metaphor. "T|.
soul Is the ship. reason is the helm.
the oars are the souls thoughts. and
truth Is the port" An old collection

The Arab SteOd.

An Arab steed Of pure breed would
probably be outpaced in race by an
English thoroughbred, but in other re.
spects it outshines Its western rival.
1t is so docile that it is treated by its
owner o. one Of the family, and 1t has
IN iron constitution, for 1t sleeps out
at night without covering or shelter.
Nature protects the Arab horse with a
thick, furry coat, which is never
touched by brush or comb and which
falls of at the approach of spring,
when the body and legs, which had
been shaggy as those Of bear, again
resume their graceful beauty and glis-

ton for the ensuing years work.
The North Dakota national guard
has an enviable reputation among
similar organizations of other states
for it's indefatigable efforts and it's
hard work in military practice. Among
those who are in the city are Col. w.
C. Treumann, who will in all proba-
bility be appointed adjutant general
within the next day or two, Gen. E.
C. Gearey of Fargo who piloted the
state rifle team to victory in the re-
cent national team match at Camp
Perry, Ohio; Capt. Bob" Thomson,
Capt. G. A. Fraser, Capt. Frank Hen
ry, Capt. J. NJ Hanley, recently elect
ed speaker of the house; Capt. Thor
aldson, deputy state treasurer; Capt.
Wells of the battery, and many other
officers and enlisted men.
Owing to the fact that the remain
der of the delegates will not arrive
in the city until this afternoon, the
first session of the convention will
not be held until 2:30 p. nj. All of
the meetings will be held at the arm
Dry building An invitation has been
extended to the officers of Fort Lin
coin to attend the sessions and it is
expected that some of the regular
army officers will present papers on
topics of vital interest to the asso-
citation during the convention.

CAPITOL CAR LINE WILL RUN
CONTINUOUSLY AFTER
O'CLOCK.
It Is Expected that the State Func-
ton This Year Will Be One Of the
Most Brilliant Ever Held.

Tonight the inaugural ball will be
held at the state capitol and it is ex-
pected that it will be the most bril-
liant of any state function that has
ever been held in the Capital City. A
large number of the wives and daugh-
tiers Of the legislators arrived in the
city Thursday and more will reach
here this morning to attend this ar
fair. It is anticipated that fully five
hundred people will be in attendance
at this event this year.
For the accommodation of the pub
lie the capitol car line will commence
at Z o'clock this evening and will run
as fast as possible from that time un-
til the ball is over. This will be a
great convenience to those who wish
to use the line to reach the capitol

In regard to the proposed library,
Secretary Libby said:
IF the society waits for increased

Doubtless at the expiration of that
period, even with the enlargement of

Il 10 Said to 30 tho Oldest Harbor
Beacon In America.
The outer light of Boston harbor is
Boston light, eight miles below the
city and at the very outer end Of the
channel that ocean liners follow. 1t
stands on Little Brewster island, a
pile Of rocks partly grassed over in it's
gentle hollow on the sheltered side.
Three families live here-those of the
head keeper and his two assistants.
In all the Inhabitants number dozen
souls.
The light itself is said to be the old.
est in America, built in 1715 by the
government of England. 1t is Of
rough bowlder stone, hoped with
iron bands, and its lean, whitewashed
form is a landmark and seamark far
and wide.
A rustic iron railway for carrying
coal leads up from the waterside to
the engine house, where is an engine
and boilers in which steam is kept up
continually to operate the siren fog
horns. Their great trumpet-like forms
protrude through the wall Of the build
ing on the seaward side. In foggy
weather one can hear from the open
windows the farof mooing Of the fog
horn on the Boston lightship, seven
miles away, as the keepers on the
ughtship can hear this one at Boston
light.
An old cannon lies on the ground
near the lighthouse. 1t was provided
by the Cunard Steamship company be-
fore the foghorn was installed to give
signals. 1t is unused now. But in
addition to the great revolving light
In the tower there is a set Of red and
white range lights that give the loca.

that they are out Of their proper loca.
ton, but If white they are safe.

RY. COMMISSIONERS
have BUSY SESSION
MATTER OF FRACTION OF MILE
IN MI cage BOOKS
THRESHED OUT.
Complaints from Southwest and
Northwest Sections of State Receiv-
ed-Launderers' Hearing at Fargo
January IL.

At the meeting of the railroad COM
mission the complaint of travelling
men of the state in regard to the
pulling" of mileage books was under
consideration. In petition sent to
the commission it is stated that when
there is fraction of mile in dis
tances between towns conductors tear
off for the full mile, whether the frac-
ton is more or les than the half of
a mile. The request of the commit
tee was that the mileage books be
marked on the half miles. The rail
road men made another suggestion
that will probably be accepted by the
commission. The conductors will be
instructed to draw the extra mile
where the distance is six-tenths or
more over the even mile and to draw
the short mileage where the distance
is four-tenths or less than the even
mile. This will give the travelling
men what they asked for and at the
same time will save the roads from
changing their forms of mileage.
A complaint was before the board
from Gascoyne regarding the depot at
that village which is located on the
Milwaukee, Puget Sound road in the
southwestern part of the state. The
petition recites that the depot there
is, simply an abandoned boxcar and
that it is not heated. Trains are sup
posed to stop there ION flag" but this
they often fail to do even when the
signal is out. President Stutsman Of
the commission will make a trip to
Gascoyne to investigate conditions.
A petition was also received from
the Ambrose-Flaxton branch of the
500 in which it is said the train SER
vice up there is entirely inadequate
to the needs of the towns along the
line and that the trains are ruin with
great irregularity. Commissioners An.
derson and Mann were delegated to
make trip of investigation over the
line and report at the Fargo meeting
of the commission January IL.
At the Fargo meeting the matter of
the complaint of the launderers asso-
citation regarding the return charge Oh
empty carriers will be taken up. This
matter has been pending before the
board for some time and has been
postponed on several occasions for the
convenience of the attorney interest

John OHroat's house was formerly
situated on Duncansby head, the most

Is said, from IIn!'lnd about 1850. The
expression so often heard, "From John
