THE TWO LEGACIES By w. Quad
Copyright 1911. by Associated Literary Press

In the whole county OF Broome rnere
was not a more unassuming man than
Peter Day. He was an old bachelor
and worked in a grist mill in the VII
lage OF Coburn. He was not an edu-
Gated man. and he had no ambitions.
In the same village lived Miss Anna
Green. old maid. She had the only
millinery store in the place. She was
also unassuming and uneducated. Mel
ther had she any ambitions. She just
wanted to be a milliner and dress
maker. How It came about that Pc
ter Day and Anna Green became ac-
auainted and engaged to be married
was a matter that many people could
not understand. but it was known that
they intended to get married-some
time.
One day two important letters reach
ed the postofiice at Coburn. One was
for Miss Green. 1t was from a law
yer in Indiana. who stated that her
maiden sister. who had been living In
that state. was dead and that she had
left her all to Anna. That sister had
not been heard from in ten years. The
other letter was for Peter Day. 1t
was also from a lawyer An uncle OF
his in Vermont had died and left him
his all. The receipt Of those two let
ters was to make a sudden and great
change in two lives.
Peter Day had not bad a holiday in
thirteen years. He had been as steady
as an old clock. He had scarcely read
that letter. however. when he went to
his boss to say;
"You can take your old mill and go
to grass with it. I'm not going to be
anybodys slave after this"
And Peter almost paralyzed the town
By dressing up and loafng around and
actually entering a saloon and calling
for a beer
Miss Green had always been very
humble to her customers. She had
felt 1t her duty to abase herself. She
would no more have dared to dun one
of them for a bill year old than to
have put her hand in a lions mouth.
And now what a changel Within six
hours after receiving that letter she
was saying to Mrs. Adams:
IF you don't like that hat you
needn't take it. and you'd better be
paying something on that old bill or
quit coming here"
When Peter Day went sparkling bis
habit was TO slip into the house as II
he expected to be kicked out again.
He didn't stand up or sit down or
cross his feet or drop his hat with
out asking TO be excused for the same.
Those two letters had reached town
of a Monday morning. Sunday even
fnc came before Peter called on Anna
He had been thinking, and so had
ehe, that there should be no slipping OF
sliding. but a bold gait and a bold
front. He sat down without being
asked to. and he held his position like
q man in possession. Instead of saying
that the Iong drought was killing the
corn he opened with:
"See here. Anna. there's a cast in
your left eyer
"What-whst on earth do you mean
sirlv
"And you've hump to the middle Of
your nosef'
'Peter-Afr. Day.
~And don't like the color Of youl
hairr'
"Sirl Sirl'
"And you don't know nu 'in' abou
grammar. and you can't sing fo
shucks I'm here to say our engage
ment is offl'

FRECKLES GONE
9Simple Remedy From \. B. Danf0rth
Removed Them" Says Society
Lady.

'The best skin specialists told me
that nothing would remove my freck-
les and that would carry them to my
grave" said a we'll known society
woman. but / fooled them all with
new drug, othine-double strength,
that / bought at n. B. Danforth's.
which cleared my skin and gave me
a fine complexion
The action of othine is really re-
markable, for when applied at night,
many of the freckles disappear en-
tirely by morning. and the rest have
begun to fade. An ounce is usually
all that is needed, even for the worst
case.
Be sure to ask n. B. Banforth for
the double strength othine. as this is
sold under a guarantee Of money back
If it fails to remove the frcckles.

ENROLMENT Of new
%PUP|LS--350 IN
THE CITY
Many Will Enter During the
Week-Meeting of Teach
ers Successful

Today was the first day Of actual
work in the city schools and some
5000 children started on their way to
greater knowledge. The total enroll
ment In the various schools will not
be definitely known for several days.
Many pupils are coming in late and
the teachers will be kept busy for
the rest Of the week, as they have been
today, enrolling the late arrivals.
Today marked the first days work
In school Of $50 children enrolled in
the first grades. The largest number
Is in Belmont school where ITO chill
dren are enrolled in the three rooms.
The Wilder first grade is second with
stxty-two pupils in two rooms. Roose-
welt has sixty primary students, Wash
ington has fifty, Winship forty-seven
and Central school twenty-one.
This enrolment will be very large
ly increased during the present week.
The pupils will be divided in the
next few days to apportion them to
the various schools so that none will
be especially o~vercrowded. A large
number will be transferred from the
Washington to the Winship school
Wednesday. 1t is also probable that
some will be transferred to the Gen.
trail school.
An interesting meeting of the teach
ers was held Monday afternoon. Sup
e%rintendent Kelly gave a short talk in
which he outlined the work of the
year and gave a number of valuable
suggestions. The talk was especially
for the benefit Of the new teachers
although the meeting was attended by
all. An opportunity was given the
teachers to ask questions regarding
their work and a general discussion Of
rules and methods resulted.

Northern were we'll filled with the
party enroute to, the meeting. Near
ing Grand Forks in the morning, at
Crookston we were met BY j. Neal
Dow and Fred Parson. At Grand
Forks we were received by the hotel
men of the city with automobiles and
were quickly housed.
what I wish to make brief COM
ment or is the splendid little city Of
Grand Forks, q city having q popula-
ton between $4,000 and $4,000, which
has hotels, business structures, pub
lie buildings, streets, parks, golf
grounds, club houses and other pri-
vate utilities that would be a credit
to any city three times the size of
Grand Forks.
1T is said that every great insti.
tuition or business enterprise is the
elongated shadow Of one man. It is
probably still more correct to say
that every city is the reflection of the
enterprise, public spirit and altruism
OF a few citizens, who have the abili-
ty to leaven the whole lump. A city
or town without one or more such
citizens will ever remain a dead
one."
There was not a hotel man who
attended the hotel meeting at Grand
Forks who had not before been in the
city that vas not astonished beyond
measure at the beauty and growth of
this little city. with its trim business
buildings and homes, it's wide, clean,
paved streets. and the apparent
prosperity that characterized abso-
lutely everything in and about It,
Everything seemed to smile and say.
here is peace and plenty. The album
dant, luxuriant crops, the rich black
soil, all attested to it's wealth. its
growth, and the future increase in
this territory"

APPROPRIATION TO Be MADE
City Council VIII Meet Thursday
Estimates Are Nearly the Same
as Last Year.

The city council will meet on Thurs
day evening for the purpose of making
the appropriations for the coming
year. The estimates of the various
departments Of the city have been
filed but they have not yet been passed
upon by the ways and means commit
tee Of the council.
The committee will meet sometime
before Thursday evening and will then
go over the estimates and make such
changes as are deemed necessary. As
adjusted by the committee, the esti-
mates will go before the council for
final action.
The estimates turned in by the sew
eral departments are very nearly the
same as last year. Last year the APP
preparations for streets was higher
than usual on account Of a deficit of
$500 left over from the year before.
The amount needed this year will be
about the same on account Of the pur-
chase Of the new street fusher and
the extension Of the paving making 1t
necessary to clean a great deal more
Of the streets than formerly.

PLACE GRAND FORKS
ON THE MERIDIAN
ROAD ROUTE
to Make This City a
Part Of Higrway From
Winnipeg to the Gulf

The Meridian road, a movement that
calls for the construction of a road
from Winnipeg to the Gulf of Mexico.
will pass Grand Forks, decision to
that effect having been made as a re-
suit of the findings of H. p. Albright.
the pathfinder from Kansas who was
in Grand Forks several weeks ago on
q run from Kansas to Winnipeg. The
Meridian road movement is one that
extends through all of the states af-
fected and it is proposed to make this
highway one Of the greatest in the
United States.
According to the plans which have
been unfolded to the Grand Forks
Commercial club by the sponsors of
the movement, 1t is proposed to have
representatives from the various coun-
ties of the eastern section of the state
hold a meeting and lay plans for the
mapping out of a road through the
counties, touching Grand Forks, Far
go and Winnipeg, that will become q
part of the great international high
way.
The states Of Texas, Nebraska, Okla
home and Kansas have already en-
dorsed the movement, which gains its
name from the fact that the proposed
road will follow closely along the
meridian from Winnipeg south.
This plan has gained it's greatest
impetus in the southern states where
meetings have been held. Routes
have practically been decided upon as
far north as the South Dakota south
ern boundary line, but from there on
only the tentative route that was laid
out by Mr.. Albright OF his recent trip

TRIXIE FR|GANzA WELL LIKED
sThe Sweetest Girl in Paris" Has
Plenty Of Comedy and Music and
O Clever Coincidence.

That Trixie Friganza is as clever
a Coincidence as has appeared at the
metropolitan for some time is the opin-
ion Of the audience that greeted her
Monday evening in 1.-THE Sweetest
Girl In Paris" She is a fun maker
in speech and action and though she
is rapidly growing fat she does not
let that interfere with her desire u
wear tho harem skirt. The show is
light but lively, and Miss Friganza
keeps 1t moving through two bright
and tuneful acts with the assistance
of a competent company of fun maxi
ers and a splendid chorus. The mu-
and the entire production with it's
generally pleasing.
Miss Friganza has three songs in
to which she carries her laugh pro-
ducing talents and brought
her back several times. That's The
Way limitations Look to Me" was per-
haps the best but Don't Forget the
Number" is the catchy one. Miss
Daisy Leon as Mary Blake, a student
Of music, carries the. heavy feminine
voice of the company and though she
speaks her n sas though she had
studied them for weeks she has voice
with music and sings 1.-THE Sweetest
Girl In Paris" to perfection. Robert
Leonard as Duquesne Armstrong
looks the part Of a m%illionare's son
and has a voice that called forth
much applause. OF his three songs
II Love Them All From A to q" was
perhaps the best. Miss BERTHE Heron
as Myrtle Johnson, the Chicago buy
er was another good singer and she
was quite at home under the spot
light.
Catherine Rowe Palmer as Anette,
the burlesque maid Of all work, was
a scream and her terpsichorean eff
forts in the first act convulsed the
house but she got a real hand when
she put on a toe dancing act that was
real art later in the show. William
Edwards as Coboose. the tenor who
had lost his voice. gave a fine char
acterization of the Italian singer.

ONCE TRIED
FOR HIS LIFE
IN EAST
Man Arrested and Afterward
Freed at Larimore Has an
Unusual Record

Stanley Smyth, though he admitted
In justice court at Larimore last
night that he had once been tried for
his life in Pennsylvania and that he
had also had a long seige of boot
Logging in northern Minnesota, failed
to tally in all details with the de-
scription of NJ. e. Schmidt, wanted in
Los Angeles, CAL, for completely in
the destruction of the Los Angeles
Times building last October.
Smyth's hearing before Justice La
Shelle was for the purpose of deter
mining, if possible, If there were any
good grounds for holding him for the
Los Angeles authorities, but the JUS
tice said there was not.
Smyth proved an interesting pris-
one during the time that he was in
custody. His record, by his own ad-
missions. was anything but bright.
