RECOGNITION
Took Novel Method to Get the Glad
Hand

There is considerable agitation
throughout the country over the de-
cline in church attendance every
where, and while many are the
reasons assigned to such actions,
such as auto mania, too liberal views,
and so on, ad inhnitum. perhaps the
absence Of the glad hand may have
considerable effect for a story comes
from Chicago through last Sunday
Tribune which says.
To illustrate the "ofhshness" of
some churches Rev. Timothy Stone,
pastor OF the Fourth Presbyterian
church, speaking at the First Presby-
terrain last night. told a story OF a
man who sat through the service one
Sunday morning wearing his hat.
When requested to do SO by the
usher, he removed the hat smilingly.
The usher afterwards asked him il
he had worn the hat purposely or if
it was merely absent-mnded negli-
gence.
NO" said the man. Il have been
attending this church regularly for
nearly two years and no one has
ever spoken to me in all that time.
/ just thought ! would leave my hat
on my head this morning to see if
it would serve as an introduction
to some one, | am glad to meet you. "

BAR N. D. WOMAN
FROM CANADA
HARDWOOD WOMAN WHO WANTED
TO GO ACROSS THE BORDER
HELD BY CANADIAN OFFICERS
WHO SAY SHE Is MENTALLY
DERANoED.

Held on the Canadian line on the
grounds that she is mentally deranged
is the experience Of Pauline storle of
Harwood, N. D.
Some time ago the storle woman
disappeared from her home at Har-
wood and went to Valley City where
she purchased a ticket for a station
in Canada. Her actions on the train
were rather queer and when she
reached Portal she was held by the
Canadian immigration officials.
The actions OF the woman were
carefully watched and the Canadian
officers decided that she should return.
She was placed on the train and sent
back to Valley City where she was
held for few days In the custody
of the sheriff.
Certain cards and letters on the per-
son of the Storle woman led the sher-
iff to believe that she lived in Har-
wood and an investigation was made
at the Cass county town 1t was
learned that her home was at Harwood
and the citizens OF that town say that
she has acted queer at all times, and
seems to be very feeble minded. She
has one child.
Today in the county court the in
sanity board conducted an examina-
ton of the case. Several witnesses
were down from Harwood to testify.
