of a tree"
1 thought the comment worth passing
on.
mo. ] am not taking a single thing
to sew or a single solid book to read.
Tn going to have the most d~eliciously
lazy time that ever was"
So heard a woman say the other day
DO you know have a Numerically
different receipt from that for M
the most thoroughly lazy time.
It is. TO be sure to take some one or
two little tasks with you on our vaca-
ton.
For l don't think you can ever be
quite so delightfully."- indolent as when
you have something that you ought to
do but aren't doing.
The feeling that you have absolutely
nothing to do and two or three weeks
to do it in is apt to induce ennuf. but
the feeling that you have something
that you really ought to do gives a de-
~licious stolen fruit sort of flavor to
your idleness.
In the same way the story that you
snatch the time from ciamorous duties
to read is always more interesting than
the book you sit down to with an after
noon to be whiled away.
But you didn't want to exert your
self at all on your vacation and even a
little task would mean some exertion.
But l didn't mean to do all the task.
Bless you, no. That would spoil the
spell. Just have it to do.

TO Hold CONFERENCE
Decided at Meeting Yesterday After
noon 20 Hold Laymsn's Missionary
Conference This Spring. "

At the meeting or those interested
in the movement for the annual con-
ference Of the missionary laymen OF
the various churches, yesterday after
noon at the Y. M. G. A., it was de-
cided to hold the meeting this spring
the same as last year. A committee
OF arrangements was appointed, con-
sisting of w. j. Clapp, chairman; Fl H
Aaker, secretary; w. J. Lane and
Stewart Wilson. Mr.. Wilson was made
treasurer of the committee
1t was decided that the conference
this year would begin April and last
two days. There will be but one mass
meeting during the gathering, that to
be held on Sunday afternoon. All
the other meetings will be in the reg
ular schedule of the conference.
A year ago large conference was
held which was one of the most largely
attended religious gatherings ever held
in the city Of Fargo. On account of the
pressing business of the leaders Of the
movement this year, 1t is not thought
that the meetings can be conducted on
such elaborate lines, but an effort will
be made to make the laymen's mis-
sionary conference one of Importance
and one to be remembered, helpful in
every detail. .-n

CLAIMED TO BE
OF NOBLE BIRTH
JOHN 5ERIsFoRp, WHO WAS
FROZEN TO DEATH or BOYLE
FARM, SAID He WAS RELATIVE
or LORD HERlsFoRD-To BE
BURIED IN COUNTY CEMETERY.

John Berisford, known as Old John,
who was found frozen to death in a
field on the farm of Sheriff Henry #.
Boyle, near Alice, night before last
is said to have stated he was a mem
Der Of the famous Berisford family OF
England and a near relative of Lord
Berisford of that country
1t is believed by number here in
the city that it is possible the dead
man, who will be buried in the county
cemetery, stated the truth and was a
member of the famous family of the
English peerage, as such relation
ship would not be at all impossible.
In this country there are many of the
second sons OF prominent English fam
lilies who have come to America for
one reason or another and who have
never returned to their native heath.
Several are OF the opinion that the
old man may have been a member of
the famous Berisford family and came
to- this country either to make for
tune and failed in the attempt, or came
at the request of his relatives who
were not favorable to some of his
personal habits.
Tt was recalled this morning by one
of the older citizens of Fargo that a
member of1the Berisford family was
killed about five years ago last Christ
mas, shortly before Christmas day, in
a railroad wreck in this part Of the
country. 1t is believed that possibly

Because OF the fact that he was not
entirely in sympathy with st. Patrick's

started nice little fight this morning
on Broadway.
The driver of the express wagon ap-
.peared in front Of a Broadway business
house with yellow ribbons streaming
from different pieces Of harness in open
defiance Of the Irish green. He made
so bold as to enter the business house
and defy any man to remove the col
ors from his horse.
While Mr.. Expressman was deliver

emerald isle removed the yellow
strands from the harness. on the re-
turn of the driver he discovered his
decorative effect spoiled so proceeded
to wade into a crowd OF bystanders,
which he suspected of the trick.
Have you those yellow ribbons"
said he to one of the crowd and receiv-
ing reply to the affirmative. he back
ed the ribbon fancier against the wall.
AT this juncture the holder of the rib
bons throttled the driver and came
very near choking the expressman.
The two men We're then put outside
and on the street the driver took a
swing at his opponent and skinned his
nose. However. the holder of the rib
bons was an old experienced pugilist,
at least he seemed to be, and peltered
the express driver, placing a "palr of
lampblacks on his window lights"
A woman suddenly appeared between
the two fighters and stopped the melee,
reprimanding both of them severely
for carrying on in such a high- handed
way on the big day of the Irish.
A large crowd gathered around the
scene of the fight, supporting the man
who took down the hated yellow rib
bons. No arrests have been made -a
