bank, and later had gone to VIM. Lu-

before Miss Crandall and Mrs. Luken-

tanned at once for his arrest, while the

a MORNING PRAYER.

In this busy age few people stop to
pray as much as they should, unless
they are In trouble. In the midst of
this holiday season, there is something
very appropriate in the following pc
tition, from the pen of Edward Dreier,
and should every reader of The Fo-
rum look the two short paragraphs
over each morning and try and profit
by them during the day, he and she
could help greatly in making the
world better and those happier they
might come in contact with. Read the
words carefully and try and make the

Thoroughly Chilled.

Chicago Post: The story about Eph
Jackson seeking the north took root
and another one blossomed.
The darby in question had simmered
in the heat Of st. Augustine all his
life, and was decoyed by the report
that colored men could max, as much
as "a day in Duluth.
He headed north in a seersucker
suit and into hard winter. At Chi
cago while waiting for a train he
shivered in an engine room. and on
the way to Duluth sped by miles Of
snow fields
On arrival he found the mercury at
Is below and promptly lost the use Of
his hands. Then his feet stiffened and
he lost all sensation.
They picked him up and took him
to a crematory for unknown dead.
After he had been in the oven for
awhile somebody opened the door for
inspection. Rastus came to and
shouted:
shut dat do and close dat draff!' =

WISE USE OF. SCHOOLS.

The tendency to use school build
ings as civic centers is gaining in pop
ularity In fact, the sentiment favor
ing such tendency might be said to
have reached the stage where it is
sweeping the country.
Boards Of education generally are
favoring the use of school buildings
for social centers. 1t is an easy matter
to rearrange the rooms so they can be
used for Improvement clubs and 9TH
er civic bodies The average school
covers about the proper territory to
form unit for this kind of work. The
use of the school buildings by the par
ents for social and civic purposes will
mean neighborhood cohesion-develop
ment and advancement.
The time has arrived for the use of
the school buildings to the best adj
vantage. Instead of being closed ex-
cept during school hours they should
be thrown open for any public purpose
for which they are available. This
method will stimulate the discussion
Of problems relative to the upbuilding
Of the community.
Buildings which have cost the tax
payers large sums of money-should
be used so they will give back to the
citizens the largest value possible.
There is no reason why the people
OF Fargo cannot derive great benefits
from his new plan. The adoption of
such a system would mean wider ed
ucation-gfeater improvements and
a more beautiful city.

The development or science is a won-
drous thing to see.
How they used to do without 1t Is q
mystery to me.
When the old folks used to linger in
this mundane vale of tears
Till they reached the ripe old age of
just about hundred years;
When they didn't spend on doctors
bills solitary cent
And each one had HIS appendix to take
within him when he went.
There was no optometrist to fix their
eyes and make them see.
But a 90-year- old man could read fine
print nice as could be.
When their eyes at last went back on
'em they had no great expense.
But purchased steel trimmed spectacIes
that cost 'em 40 CENTS
No infantiIe paralysis Or brain flag IN

They lived along until they just dried
UP and blew away.
Seems as though it's mighty hard just
now to keep out OF the ground;
There Is some new tangled ailment
every time you turn around
When q feiIer,s feeIin' healthy and he
looks 1t in the face.
They're sure to find some new disease
and make 1t fit his case.

Any place you chance to know,
And when you can live lust so''
You can we'll afford to throw
Your mazuna to and fro:
When the dollars to you flow
And you have all you can stow,
And your credits never low
And you can go in for show
That's cinch.
But it's not cineh so fine
To be happy, friend of mine;
When you're very badly bent
And You haven't got cent;
When your last kopeck Is spent
And you've got to pay your rent
And you can't get what you've lent;
When, at least to some extent.
Your friends question your intent
And you're dressed just like the gent
In the comic supplement
And are spurned where once you went
BY unanimous consent
That is very different;
Yes, indeed.

TWENTY STUDlNTS ARE ILL.
Typhoid Fever Epidemic at Cedar

Cedar Falls, Nov. 28.-The epi-

Falls has created unusual conditions
in this exceptionally healthy city and
every effort is being exercised to
care for those who are sick. and to
prevent further spread of the dis
eose. Those students who are not
n a normal condition are advised to
90 to their homes for the balance of
the fall term. In anticipation Of the
approaching Thanksgiving vacation
many left last week 10 remain until
the orening of the winter term.
An emergency hospital has been
orened at 1921 Walnut street where
those who could not be admitted in
70 the reg lar college hospital, are
"eceiv'ng necessary care. The state
has provided for the care OF all who
may be STRICKEN and If necesT ary the
gymn asiuE' will be converted into

.welve professional nurses and in
incubation is offered to all students
who desire it. Within few DAYS a
srecial'st will be In Cesar Falls to
administer the vaccination 70 all who
wish it. At pre"ent there are only
about twenty students sick with ty-
phoid fever and every precautionary
means is exercised TO prevent its
spreading.

water at present is free from any

arose from the water, which Is still

Thanksgiving is the mark Of truly

pressing to him our sincere gratitude,
We become selfish in our demands. God
delights to impart his mercies to us,
but he also takes pleasure in our
gratitude to him for his benefits. Only
an appreciative heart is able to fully
enjoy Gods unfailing goodness. 1t

praise, the more We viii see how our
path and our daily way are beset with
