HORSES STARVE

Grand Forks, March Gin an open
letter to the Minot Independent it
tells of bad state Of affairs in Ger.
tain localities in Ward County. Ac.
cording to Mr.. Allen there are several
instances where horses hav already
died for lack of proper nourishment
and food. It is not a case of neglect
either, and it cannot be helped unless
those farmers receive aid at once.
In many cases, Gays Mr.. Allen,
horses have been compelled to subsist
only on wheat straw and during the
stormy weather it has been known
that they have gone for from two to
five days without water. A plea Is
made to thee ounty commissioners to
provide relief at once.

STRANGE COINCIDENCE
ASREV. NEWCOMB SPOKE
REcITED POEM OF SAMUEL WAL
TER Foss AT MINoT MEETING
SUNDAY NIGHT,
About same Time He was Recitinq Il
to Congregation Mr.. Foss Passed
Away at Massachusetts, Home.


The Minot Reporter contains the
following account Of an interesting
coincidence which occurred there as
the result of Rev. Geo. B. Newcomb's
reading poem of Samuel Walter Foss
in his Sunday night address, which is
one of his favorites and which he has
often read to the boys at the state
penitentiary of which institution he
is the chaplain:
Rev. NeWcOmb delivered the address
in connection with his work as state
superintendent of the Society for the
Friendless:
A rather strange coincidence &C.
CURED on Sunday night which will
prove interestoing to those who heard
Rev. G. B. Newcomb's sermon last
Sunday night. At thee lose of his
sermon Mr.. NeWcomb quoted a poem
written by Sam Walter Foss. On
Tuesday Rev. Newcomb read of Mr..
Foss' death which occurred on Sum
day evening about the time he was
reading the poem. Mr.. Newcomb read
the poem to the cOnvicts at the peni-
Tertiary at their Christian Endeavor
meeting a week ago yesterday and it's
beauty so touched the heatrs of the
prisoners that they requested him for
copies of the poem. While her on
Sunday night several people who were
in the audience presented Mr.. New
comb with sufficient funds to have
several hundred copies of the poem
printed for distribution among the pris
oners. The account of Mr.. Foss' death
and :opy of this poem follows:
Sommerville, Mass, March AFTER
a long illness Sam Walter Foss, the
author, poet and lecturer, died at
Charles Gate Hospital in Cambridge,
Sunday evening. He was born in
Canadian, N. H., in 1858. Mr.. Foss
was best known to the general public
as the author of numerous poems,
including Back County Poems,"
"Whiffs from Wild Meadows"
Dreams in Homespun," Songs of the
Average Man." etc.

who are bad,
AS good and as bad as l.;
would not sit in the scorner's seat
Nor hurl the cynic's ban;
Let me live in a house by the side of

The men who press with the ardor Of

The men who are faint with strife;
And turn not away from their smiles

And mountains of wearisome height,
That the road passes on through the

And stretches away to the night;
But still rejoice when the travellers

And weep with the strangers mourn,
Nor live in my house by the side of

Like man who dwells alone.
Let me live in a house by the side Of

Let me live in a house by the side Of

has been carried to the members of
the various denominations who have

croft. Arrangements have ben made
each Sunday during the summer to
have services at the mountain resort
Preachers and laymen from Ell Paso
have made trips up the mountain to

religious exercises at Cloudcroft have
proved one of the most pleasant things
at the resort.
One church club has not allowed the
heat to interfere with it's regular
meetings. This is the mems club of

STATEHOOD CELEBRATION.
Las Cruces, N. NJ. Aug. 2

Las Cruces, n. NJ, Aug. 25, 1911.
Editor Ell Paso Herald:
After reading your story of the
meeting of your chamber of commerce
regarding the Ell Paso statehood cele-
bration for New Mexico and Arizona,
l desire to suggest that the big cele-
bration that will cover the larger
number is better for New Mexico and
also for FL Paso.
We have lived for years near the
northern border of the territory and
spent a few months of the last year
near the eastern border, and know all
New Mexico well and feel sure that
while a banquet to 100 New Mexico
men would be well attended it would
not be wholly representative and
would not benefit Ell Paso as the gen.
eral widespread Invitation will do
with a LOW railroad rate.
Of course, unless you can secure a
real excursion rate, the banquet plan
is best Being well acquainted with
all New Mexico, will say that as far
as Ration on the north and as far as
Clayton on the east, trip to FL Paso
is among the people a thing to be
reckoned for and a Mecca all hope to
reach sometime.
If the rate is made you will have no
trouble bringing many thousands to Ell
Paso from New Mexico. / believe New
Mexico newspapers will help gener-
ously.
Of course a banquet to leading in
fIuential' citizens, perhaps fewer than
200. might be useful to arouse per-
sonal interest among the class of men
who lead in each city and who would

them to president Taft and ! to the

THE treaties pending in the senate

the churches, Catholic and Protestant,
peace, founded in righteousness and
equity; the recognition OF right as
above might; the appeal to the moral
order as the clearest expression Of the
will of God The interest of the
churches in the confirmation and sue
cess of these treaties ought to be in
tense, practical and efficient The
Christian sentiment Of the United
States is really on trial in this matter.
If the churches are silent now, II they
