Travellers Tales

Il had a cussed sight worse expert
ence in trying to be an actor than
Bob Mcintyre ever did," said Frank
Promo, as he reached over the hotel
counter and borrowed a paper from
the hotel reporter just to read

Il was cast for the title role in the
Drummer Boy of Shiloh and had stud
led well UP in the part until / could
say 1t backward and forward with
out so much as slipping a letter. It
was a fine play, in which in the prison
scene ! was supposed to be in rags
and starving. / wasn't so fat as
am now. There were a lot of envious
galoots in the town / lived in, which
was in the state of Montana, and

ant part in the whole play.
In the town was a club of half
grown boys ranging in age from II
years to 90, and we had a pet black
bear that everybody used to play with
for 1t was as gentle as a. kitten.
The night of the performance ev-
erything was going along nicely until
after the third act when / was SUD-
posed to appear In my rags went
into the dressing room. for me play
ing the star part / was given the star
chamber, one might say, and began u
disrobe. The room was dark on the
floor for the light was high up and
its rays were hidden from the floor
by a shelf that projected out from
the wall. ! kept on disrobing until
hadn't anything on excepting a pair
of flesh colored underclothing which
had bought because the flesh color
was supposed to show through the
ragged trousers and coat I was to
wear. Well just as was about to
put on my trousers sat down on a
chair and there underneath the shelf
saw bear and he looked as big
as house to me. / didn't wait to
examine, but let out screech that
sounded like the fire whistle Of Fargo

roll curtain about six feet up where
the stage hands were putting down
some stuff to look the ground. You
could have knocked me into a cooked

SHORTAGE OF HORSES.

The quartermaster general of the
army reports that there is a shortage
in this country of horses suitable for
the cavalry and artillery branches of
the army. The government is unable
to secure at the present time 1000
horses Of the required standards that
are needed. He has asked cooperation
between the government and the farm
ers Of the country-in the breeding and
raising Of horses suitable for the mill
tary service.
In this respect the United States
stands now where all of the European
governments have stood for many
years. In all of the countries of con-
tinental Europe the governments have
been forced to extraordinary steps in
order to secure horses suitable to mill
tary requirements. In some countries
the government itself conducts breed
ing farms-in others it furnishes breed
Ing stock to farmers who will raise
animals suitable for military use-of-
fering them good market for their
produce.
This country has been ransacked
over and over again by representa-
tives of foreign governments to secure
horses suitable for army use. There
were many thousand head of horses
and Of mules sold to the British gov
eminent at the time of the war in
Africa. Prior to that time the price
OF horses was so low in the United
States that there was practical ces-
sation Of horse breeding in the range

stocked with horses.
1t ii but q brief time since that the
prediction was made that the horse
was doomed to disappear from prac-
tfcal use--his place being taken by the
motor vehicle OF some kind or another
Now It seems that the country cannot
even furnish its meagre little army
with horses suitable for military pur-

CARE or THE EYES

Recently the New York board of ed
ucation ordered put into all school
books a circular containing warnings
and suggestions regarding the proper
care of the eyes. 1t is wise policy.
Pupils very often neglect and abuse
their eyes-and in some instances par
ents and teachers are unable to find
it out until the injury has progressed
to dangerous stage. The New York
board of education says in its circu-
lar:
Your eyesIare worth more to you than
any book Your safety and your sue
cess in life depend on your eyes there
fore take care Of them. Always hold
your head up when you read. Hold
your book fourteen inches from your
face. Be sure that the light is clear
and good. Never read with the sun
shining directly in the book; never face
the light in reading. Let the light
come from behind or over your left
shoulder. Avoid books or papers print
ed indistinctly or in small type. Rest
your eyes Dy lOOhInB away lIOiH the
book every few moments; cleanse your
eyes night and morning with pure
water.
No doubt these simple suggestions
will do much to protect the eyes Of
pupils in New York schooIs-provided,
of course. the teachers and the par
ents of pupils see to it that they are
carried out.
In the most favorable circumstances
the human eye will suffer under mod
era conditions of Iife--and 1t is well
to begin early in life to care for the
eyes.

Valley City Times Record: There
has been much silly twaddIe sent out
from Bismarck relative to the unpopu-
larity of Senator McCumber and that
his election was endangered. We are
firmly convinced that the defeat of Nc
.Cumber would be for the best inter-
ests of the state of North Dakota, but
the people have virtually elected him
senator and it should be ratified by
the legislature.
The nomination of the United States
senator by the people in North Dakota
virtually amounts to an election, and
while the fact that an antiquated
clause of the United States constitu
ton makes it necessary for the legis-
lature to go through the form Of ratifi-
cation, they should not forget that the
people have chosen, not a candidate
for the position, but the official itself.
This fact was pretty thoroughly es-
tablished by the action of various leg
islatures in electing to the United
States senate men of different political
faith than the dominant party.
jamestown Alert: The legislature
has organized without great factional
struggle. The dominant influence in
the house organization was in the
hands Of the insurgent members of
the republican party, and it appears
that the senate also had small ma
jority of republicans who had a lean
sr,1m AI,nL nE h.
organization was made after the usual
plan of caucusing and agreeing upon
the names Of the leading employees, and
the distribution of the legislative pat
ronage which the law and custom
give to the legislature. The chief note
in the organization seems to have been
sounded both by the speaker Of the
house, and by the presiding officer of
the senate, and this is a fulfllment of
pledges made by the representatives of
the majority party in the state in its
platform adopted last year, previous to
the fall election; also to conduct the
session as economically as consistent
with good service, and to appropriate
no unnecessary sums Of money for the
tax payers to meet. The watchword
Of economy will be welcomed by the
people of the state generally.
The republican platform presented
some excellent demands and pledges
for the people of the state. and the
majority of the members of the leg
islature are said to be earnestly de-
sirous of carrying out such pledges as
far as lies in their power to do. While
the tendency of the times Is to look
to some individual who has acquired
a temporary public prominence for
legislative relief from the hard condi-
tions of earning livelihood, yet ex-
perience has proved that only by or

In presenting Henry Woodruff in
The Genius, Mort H. Singer is to
give the theatre-goers the first OPP
portunity of passing judgment on the
new style of high class entertainment,
which we have heard so much of late
~. The critics have given several APP
propriate titles for it but Mr.. Singer
claims the correct definition is a song
comedy. The new style of Offering
does not require the services of sixty
or seventy people, but it does re-
quire artists who can act as well as
sing, even to the prettiest chorus lady.
1t will undoubtedly meet with the
same approval when it is presented
in Fargo as it has in New York and
Chicago. The Genius is from the pens
of VIM. and Cecil DeMille. while Paul
Reuhens is responsible for the musi-
cal numbers. The play was staged
by VIM. Post, recognized as one Of
the foremost in the business, while
Harry Pilcer instructed the chorus in
the dancing novelties.

PANAMA LIBEL SUITS.

Colonel Roosevelt accomplished many
things as president. He also made
mistakes. One of them was his at
tempted throttling of the newspapers
of the country through the institution
of the suits generally known as the
Panama Libel cases. The courts have
decided adversely as to his contention.
The Minneapolis Journal recently COM
mented editorlally as follows:
The United States supreme court has
by unanimous decision thrown out
the Panama libel suit for want of iur-
isdiction, holding that the government
has protection against libels in the
laws of the states.
The case was one in which President
Roosevelt caused libel proceedings to
be instituted against The New York
World and sought to have the trial held
in Washington. Failing in that. he
turned to the federal court for the dis
trict Of New York, on the plea that the
libel had been circulated at West Point
which is a government reservation.
Judge Hough dismissed the matter, on
the ground that there was plenty of
state law to protect people from libel
even on government reservations. The
administration appealed and has now
been Knocked out in the highest court.
The decision and the refusal of
Judge Anderson to allow The Indian
apolis News to be hailed from it's own
state to the District of Columbia for
trial, merely because the paper had
some circulation in Washington. form
twin rebukes to the strenuous insist
ence of Colonel Roosevelt to have his
own way.
Whether a libel shall be tried in a
federal or state court is probably not
vitality important, as either can be de-
pended upon to be fair to. both sides.
but it would be a more serious matter
IL defendant could be dragged from
his home to a distant part of the coun-
try to be tried. An editor ought to have
the right to be tried where he has his
business, his papers, his records his
defense, instead of where a few fugi-
tive copies of the alleged libel may
have been circulated.
The impression is strong that in the
Panama libel proceedings a deadly
blow was aimed at the freedom of the
press, blow which the courts have
boldly and frankly warded off.
