A MONA LISA STORY.

New York Post: Two years ago there appeared in Denmark a book entitled Mona Lisa the subject of which is the theft of that famous painting from the Louvre It's author adopted the pen name of Hojen, but no one except the publisher knows who he really is. The gist of the story is that the director of the Louy- re, "Bromol," one day delivers a learned lecture on the ''Monna Lisa" to a group of copyists, pointing out its beauties and subtleties Acciden- tally one of the listeners comes in contact with the canvas, and some Of the paint rubs off. The director is dismayed, realizing instantly that some one has substituted copy for the original. The author then de scribes the sensation not only in Par is. but throughout the civilized world, and the efforts of the detectives, who finally succeed in locating the painting ip the studio of an artist who had stolen it more as a joke than in the hope of a reward for its return. The director agrees to keep the matter secret, the artist is not punished, and the picture returns to Is place. Is it possible that this story prompted the actual theft of the picture2

CATTLE SALES BEGIN
 IN NORTHERN SONORA
High Prices Will Bring on Sales Despite Depleted Range
 Conditions

Ii has been said that there would not be any important shipments or stock from Sonora across the line this fall. the assigned reason being the large shipments of last spring and that the ranges were consequently de- pleted- 1t may be that the shipments will not be so large as in the spring, but an effective denial to the state ment that there will be no sales IS found in the fact that two have al- ready been completed, and that cat tie buyers from the north are now ln Sonora seeking to make purchases
 Word has been received in Bisbee that R. V. Pesquiera has arranged for a sale of cattle from his northern Sonora ranch, running well into four figures as to the number sold, the name of the purchaser not having been ascertained. On the top of this dnformation comes the report thGr John Hohstadt has sold TOO head or steers to a cattleman named Heglanu' a part to go on ranges in this coun- try for fattening, and a part to go at once to eastern markets.
 Shipments of cattle after the last spring roundup were heavier than usual and at better prices. Stock men at that time hardly expected that the good prices which they recelved would continue this fall, but in thls they have been agreeably disappolnt- ed, since prices promise to be higher than ever before. Cochise county telt the benefit of the prosperity of the cattle raisers last spring, and may expect a repetition of the spring con ditions in the coming fall.

STORMY PETREL
 MRS. HELEN GRAY
That TireleSS Investigator Is Now After the Reclama-
 ation Service

For the purpose of gathering ad- ditional evidence to prove alleged extravaganza in the reclamation ser vice, Airs. Helen Pierce Grey, special investigator Of the congressional committee, appointed to look into the expenditures of the interior depart ment, returned to Phoenix last even ing. She spent the morning at the local reclamation offices, in the Wa ter Users building and early this afternoon left in an automobile with Engineer Howard Reed to view the granite reef dam and irrigation sys- tenn on the south side, according to the Arizona Democrat.
 Mrs. Grey first appeared in Phoe- nix about ten days ago. but spent only one day gathering evidence. She visited district and supreme courts and had some words with several of- ficials. claiming that she could not get the information she wanted. The same day she had a stormy interview with former Governor Joseph H. Kibbey, who was attorney for the Water Users association a number of years.
 AllEE htI bIAtl stay hNlt &aAASs NANs went to Casa Grande., Ever since then she has been at Casa Grande. Florence and other points in the Casa Grande valley. She spent much time on the Sacaton reservation talking 10 the Indians, and attended several meetings of the redskins. She is at least partially responsible for the resolutions of protest recently for warded by the Indians to the inter. for department. They are protesting about various things, notably the ir- rigation of the reservation by means Of pumped instead of river water.
 Now Mrs. Grey is back to gather further information about the recla- nation service She told Engineer Reed this morning that she had some evidence very damaging to the ser vice. He replied that he would be delighted to show her over the val ley, go into records with her, and show her where she is wrong. Among other things he insisted that she should see the granite reef dam, hence this afternoons auto trip.

RREVITY.

Golfers Weekly: Robert Louis Stevenson was a close student of style and has left more than one in teresting discussion of the technique of writing. In a letter to R. A. M. Stevenson, dated October, 1883, he says:
 There Is but one art - to omit, Oh, if knew how to omit l would ask no further knowledge. A man who knew how to omit would make an 1liad of a daily paper"
 To men engaged in editorial writ ing (which in America is the art of making ideas effective before a vast audience), and to young men and women in college who are planning to enter journalism, we recommend that the above few words of Steven sons be committed to memory and put into practice.

MINING NOTES

At the old Silver Queen mine at Superior. in Gila county, the vein has just been cut on the eighth level and is looking even better than it did on the 650-level. where a shoot of high grade ehalcocite ore l20 feet long was opened up.
 The Silver Queen mines is owned and operated by the Magma Copper company, which Is controlled by the Gunn-Thompson people.
 1t is developed by a vertical shaft 500 feet deep and considerable drift ing has been done, the best ore hay ing been opened up on the 650-foot level
 Twenty-Five men are employed and five six-horse teams are en- gagged in hauling supplies from Florence and ore on the return trip.
 A considerable flow of water was encountered recently. but it is being easily handled. by the present pump ing equipment.
 The Silver Queen has passed through most of the vicissitudes in. cident to the development of a prop erty far from a railroad. and now seems to be in the hands of people who are financially able to make q mine if the stuff is there.
 This mine was opened up over 8 quarter of century ago and con, sisted of two claims known as the Silver Queen claims. A vertical shaft was sunk 400 feet and, at the time of closing down, Is reported to have had good showing of cop, per, the ore also carrying about one ounce of silver for every unit of copper.

CHASE CREEK COPPER co.

s. s. Campbell, of Boston. general manager of the Chase Creek Copper company, In which l. N. Stephens, of this, city, is heavily interested
 was a visitor in Clifton last week, coming oyer from Stafford, where he is also interested in mining and irrigation enterprises in that sec tion. The tunnel on the Chase Creek property, which consists of forty claims, is now in 2O0O feet and within the next three hundred feet it is the expectation of Mir
 Stephens to cut the big dyke which shows on the surface at a depth of twelve hundred feet. Work on the tunnel, with this end in view, has been going on for the past two years, sometimes with a large force and sometimes with a small shift, as the finances of the company would permit It is expected that the big dyke will be intersected sometime during 1s13.-Copper Era.

SOVEREIGNTY IN NEW HANDS.

We have a new sovereign, it ap- pears. Most of us were ignorant of the fact until last week, but there is no longer any excuse for misinfor- nation. Mir. Taft has introduced us to the monarch and it will be our own fault if we do not get better acquainted
 Our new sovereign is a tariff board. Kings sometimes abdicate and run away, but this is the first time in American history that a president has surrendered his authority to a com mittee of experts. We do not be- lieve that their rule will extend be- yond the 4th of March, 1913.-St Louis Republic.

VEGETABLES IN TUpoR's TIME.

London Chronicle: What did people eat before they had the potato as a staple article of diet? Apparently they had most of the vegetables that we have now. Of LOndOners in the time of the Tudors, Sir Walter Be sant tells us that they ate lettuce as a separate dish before the meat, used turnip leaves as a salad and roasted the turnip itself in wood ashes; horseradish and carrots were known to them and capers were served boiled in oil or vinegar. Cucumbers rad ishes, paTsnips and cabbages also figured at the Tudor table, for which, by the way, they boiled their oysters and spread their beef with honey. It would be fun in these pageant days to eat-or refuse-a Tudor meal.

CONQUER RHEUMATISM
Treatment Given at DeHarths Hospi-
tai e a Most Complete
Success.

The DeBarthe treatment for rheu-
matism and kindred troubles has been
attracting attention from many parts
OF the state. After nearly two months
the patients who have taken treat
ment report wonderful improvements.
When II is considered that patients
have received relief in so short a time
by the DeBarthe treatment, it cannot
but be accepted as most wonderful
remedy 1t is gratifying, to those who
have this terrible affliction, to know
that there Is treatment for rheu-
inatism that Is certain in its results.
After one weeks treatment at the
HOSPITAL, located at Sill Eighth street
south, Fargo. N. D., patients return to
their home and continue the treat
ment under the direction of the hos
pital for about two months. This
home treatment does not interfere
with the patients daily work.
The management of the hospital is
most liberal In offering free consuita-
ton and advice to those who wish to
see the physician regarding their
trouble. 1t is surely a great advan-
tage to the people of this state who
are suffering from rheumatism to have
this wonderful treatment so near at
hand. This treatment accomplished
more in less time than any other
which requires long tedious
journeys and heavy expense.

OLD FASHIONED FAMILY PEW
In That Rested the Strength OF the
Church, and It Should Be
Restored.

One sometimes hears a deal of non.
sense about the danger of creating a
prejudice against religion In the mind
OF child by making him attend
church once a week. The danger
would seem to be about one-tenth as
great as that Of arousing a prejudice
against education by sending him to
school twice q day. In both cases the
remedy lies in the good sense OF ths
parents and their estimate of the
value of religion and education care
fully instilled into the chiId's mind.
The strength Of the church has been
IN the old-fashioned pew, with father
az one end and mother at the other,
and . stairway OF more or less restless
children. From that pew have gone
out the upright, devout, consecrated
men and women who have loved the
church and maintained her worshiu
and done her work in their several
generations. For the sake OF the
church, and especially for the sake OF
the children, let it be restored

to attend both Sunday school and the

N. D. DRY FARM
CONGRESS MEET
SECOND ANNUAL MEETING WILL
BE HELD AT DICKINSON DEC.

TEND KNOWLEDGE OF BETTER
FARMING METHODS.

The second annual meeting of the
North Dakota Dry Farming associa
ton is to be held at Dickinson. N. d..
Dec. and 8.
This association was organized mi
marily to extend the knowledge Of
farming methods in those areas Of the
state where the conservation of mois-
ture is a matter Of Importance. Where
the rainfall is around fifteen inches
special care must be taken to utilize
the moisture and 1t is the aim OF the
Dry Farming congress to emphasize
this fact and to extend knowledge con-
corning 1t.
The amount OF our rainfall has q
profound influence upon our methods
Of farming, and therefore 1t is within
the province OF this association to
treat practically all questions that
have to do with the farm. The idea.
has been common that the term s'try
farming" is associated only with grain
production, but nothing could be
farther. from the truth.
1t is the aim OF those interested in
good farming to see every farm in the
state placed upon rational and proft
paying basis. IN order that this may
be done, strict attention must be paid
to the conservation of moisture, at
least In the major portion OF the state.
But this does not mean that anyone
line OF farming should be followed. to
the, exclusion Of others.
It Is becoming generally realized
that mixed farming is generally to be
the most successful in this state This
being the case. particular attention
must be paid to live stock. In order
that We may get the best from the live
stock close attention must be paid to
the growing of forage and grains to
seed them. This leads immediately
% a consideration Of corn, alfalfa and
grasses and to other forage crops, as
ar as they are successful.
It has been found that our soil is
veil adapted to small grains. and
here is no reason why the growing OF |
hese should not form an important

WHAT ONE MUST Do TO

Is Not So Easy Matter to Become CizsnRead Over
the List Of Questions and See # You Can Answer
Them OFF Hand

That 1t is not the easiest matter ii
the world to become naturalized cit.
lien Of the United States is fact vel
known to number Of residents Of
Fargo.
It would be surprising to the aver
age Fargoan IL he knew or could be
told the number Of people residing in
the city and receiving the same pro-
lection as a native American but who
are not citizens Of the United States.
Fargo has not a large foreign popula-
ton as have many cities where the
population Is much smaller. but still
there are many men who have made
this city their home for years who are
not Americans and who have not taxi
en- out their naturalization papers
Then there are others who at some
time took out their first papers, but
never have taken the second and final
papers. The limit in which to take
out the second papers, in many in
stances, has expired. and If at any
time they decide to become American
citizens they must need to begin all
over again.
All persons of foreign birth must
take out first and second naturaliza-
ton papers in order to become citi-
Eens of this country unless they come
under the following exemptions: in
which case they take out only one set
OF papers:
A person 81 years Of age who has
been honorably discharged from the
United States army.
A person n years old who has serv- |
ed i've years in the navy OF the Unit
ed States.

You must live five years In the Unit
ed States before you can ask for your
second papers.
Your first papers must be two years
old, and you must be full FIVE years in
the United States before you can ask
for your second papers.
You can get your first paper as soon
after you are 10 years old as you see
fit.
You must be 81 years old before you
can ask for your second papers.
II you have lived in the United
States before you were IS years old
that time counts just the same as 1t
does after.
A first paper taken out in one state
is good in another.
