AN EXPENSIVE DRINK.

Tea at IS shilinGs cup is a pretty
bizarre price even at bazaar, but this
was the extravagant charge eXtorted az a
theatrical charity bazaar held IN the
French capital last year. The lady would
take nothing less, the other actresses who
were the presiding goddesses Of the func-
ton being equally unreasonable.
Another charming lady whose bewtchins

In it two Americans, two Dutchmen.

and the proprietor of the restaurant

the piece, are playing at crOSs-purpos-

mostly by the Germans, who add to
the complications by their eccentric
actions, brings the situation down to a
climax that brings all hands in a
merry mix
1t is not on this one scene alone
however, that the production depends
There are two acts of ludicrous COM
plicatiOns, commencing at an Ameri-

Paris. A double love story, coupled
with an attempt to force marriage

The train carried an extra coach and
it was well filled. People returning
from outside points to spend the holi-

view the country or on business mis-
sions formed the large crowd of pas
sengers. A coach was set out here to

GERMANY SURRENDERS CHINA
Secret Arrangement to Annex 1t to
California Disclosed
JAPAN STIRRED
Minister Wun-Wing- Won Over
by Imperial Valley Envoy,
Barbara Ware

German secret State circles
will undoubtedly be reused to
know that full publicity has
been made of the diplomatic
fact that, acting merely in a
clerical capacity for the au-
thor, we had the, privilege last
spring of forwarding to the pub
fishers the final manuscript of
THE Winning of Barbara
Worth Having an abiding
faith in the merit and influence
of the book to-be, and rejecting
that pictorial presentation was
potent factor with the public
today, the thought arose that
truthful and artistic delineation
of actual development of Bar
bara's desert would be of value
both at home and for sending
abroad.
We therefore placed an order
in Germany for the manufacture,
for us exclusively, of a line of
fine China, both thin and medi-
um, to be decorated in highest
art from subjects furnished by
us, photographs of actual nat
ural scenes of this desert"
The commission was entrust-
ed to a German artisan whose
name is little known in this
country. But where it is famil-
lar, it is one of those names pro-
nounced, by not sounding any of
the latters in it, Yonrote. Cruel
as is the name, it nevertheless
is recognized in Germany as
that of an exceptionally accurate
and delicate delineator. The
beauty of his blendings and his
rich and softened colorings are
exceedingly rare, yet never false
or discordant.
Our hopes were high, our eX-
pectations confident. In the fin
ished product both have been
more than fulfilled; and we take
pardonable pride in present
ing to this valley worthy ware,
originated here and christened
for it's typical heroine, Barbara.
The subjects are hand-painted
scenes, painted by the hand OF
the Almighty.
Henceforth Barbara ware will
be souvenir OF this valley, rich,
glowing and growing, and it's
W rthy exponent wherever seen.
Its tuff to be pore; but it's
porer not to be at ALL And so,
while we have all the Barbara
ware that exists, we have not a
very large stock. 1t will be ad-
visable for you, therefore, to
make your selections from it
early, remembering that every
piece you obtain is of the orig
inal creation of beautiful truth
ful and artistic BARBARA ware.

The w. C. T. U. met with President
Mrs. FRANK Smith yesterday after
noon. Though the stormy weather
kept some of the members away, a
good meeting was held. Two new
members were gained. Plans OF
work for the new year were dis
cussed, and new forces set in mo-
ton. The departments Of rescue
work. press work, social and moth
er's meetings, contests and scientific
temperance instruction all came up
for consideration. The ladies are
eager and hopeful in their work, and
their slogan is growth.

sent, but your boys never will by my

PASSING OF THE PIONEER.

The news reports tell of the death
in Louisiana of Col. w. H. Robinson
of Mayville, one of the pioneers OF
North Dakota. Col. Robinson was
well known throughout the entire
state. He was a member of the first
state senate in 1SS9-1S90, and filled
many public offices. He was well
known in the commercial world as
we'll.
One by one the old timers are pass:
ing down the long trail from whence
no prospector returns. The men who
helped to build up the commonwealth
are aging fast and that very fact Is
significant that North Dakota is ceas-
ing to be a young state. The stalwart
men and women who braved the hard
ships of the early years, when COM
forts were fewer than the present and
Injuries yet unknown, are commenc'
ing to see the first fruits of their
handiwork. Probably no one else
takes so great a delight in the ad-
vancer}ent and progress Of this land
of opportunity. Their ranks are thin
ming and will diminish much more
rapidly as the years speed on. In
their stead new faces are to be seen,
young, strong, full of the same en-
thusiasm which characterized the
frontiersmen. Let the youth Of the
land turn to the example act tor them
by those who first took up the work
Of Transforming the prairie land into
a region of beautiful homes. If the
younger generations labor with the
same zeal and interest as did the
early settlers, the future prosperity
and fame of North Dakota is assured.
