PLANS FOR new
SCHOOL BUILDING
ARCHITECT cRARsE GETTING
REAnv To SUBMIT PLANS ron
NEWWARD SCHOOL IN FOURTH
WARD ON EENTHI
STREET SOUTH.

Plans for the new ward school
building in the Fourth ward on the
south side are now being prepared
to submit to the board OF education
| by Architect Sam Crabbe. Mr..
! Crabbe's force is busy at work on the
| drawings. which If carried out ac-
cording to his ideas. will be one OF
the handsomest public educational
structures in the state.
| When completed the building will
cost approximately $4,000. 1t will
| have no equal in North Dakota pub
| lie schools and will be strictly mod
ern in every particular. Many of the
old ideas governing the construction
of school buildings will be eliminated
and the edifice will compare most
favorably with the buildings of the
larger eastern cities and the prevail
ing plan according to the newer styles.
The building will have about twelve
class and recitation rooms, we'll ven-
tilated and excellently lighted. Aside
from this a finely equipped gymnas-
ium for the boys and girls, with
modern dressing and bath rooms, will
be one of the newer and modern fea-
lures.
The gymnasium Of the structure
will be large and commodious, 100
feet long and 40 feet wide. On either
side will be spacious lavatories, one
for girls and one for the boys, so that
the gym can be arranged for classes
for both sexes without any interior
ence.
half square will be utilized for
the site of the building, the grounds
covering an area of 300 square feet.
The location has been chosen at the
corner of Eighth avenue and Thir-
teenth street south, which is in the
heart of one of the most rapidly
growing sections of the city.
Architect Crabbe has made a care
full study of school buildings and has
gone we'll over his plans for school
buildings and those of eastern archi-
tects in the preparation of the plans
for the building which he hopes soon
to have ready to submit to the MEM
bers of the board Of education for
approval.
Name Is Needed.
No name for the new building has
yet been chosen. It Is understood
that the names of several of the
presidents of the United States have
been proposed, but that it is mat
ter entirely of conjecture yet. A
more popular idea has been suggested
in allowing the people or school chill
dren of the city to name the building
by contest, which, If put into opera
ton will create great deal Of inter
est and enthusiasm, and give the
children a hand in naming their own
building. Just what may be done
along this line has not been yet de-
cided upon, but it is understood that
the members of the school board are
not at all opposed to such an idea and
may decide upon that method.

The Husky Jamaican Didn't Care to
Work For Nothing.
An English naval officer tells Of be-
ing On,a war vessel which took pro-
visions to st. Kits, one of the Brit
ish West India islands. A hurricane
had left many of the inhabitants in a
destitute or even starving condition.
Hungry crowds gathered at the wharf.
but refused to help unload the food
that was to be given to them unless
paid for their work.
A similar story sheds light on the
jamaican negro. Some years ago a
hurricane devastated the island, and a
large relief sum was raised. much OF
it in England and the United States.
The committee having charge of this
fund sent a wagon load Of lumber to
a husky black man whose house had
been scattered over the parish. He
and his family were living in a rude
shack, made out of odds and ends.

men who were unloading the material

BURN YOUR BRIDGES.
Retreat is Left Open We Are
Apt to Turn Back.

Young men often make the mistake
when they start on an important un-
dertaking of leaving open a way of
retreat if things go too hard, says Ori-
son SWEET Marden in Success Maya
zine. Nc one can call out his greatest
reserves, do the greatest thing pos
sible to him. while he knows that if
the battle gets too hot he has a line of
retreat still left open. Only when
there is no hope of escape will an
army fight with that spirit Of des-
peratiOn which gives no quarter.
Many a great general in his march
on the enemy has burned his bridges
behind him, cut off his only possible re
treat, for the bracing, encouraging ef-
feet upon himself and his army, be-
cause he knew that men only call out
their greatest reserves of power when
all retreat is cut off and when fight
ing desperately for that which they
count dearer than life.
We are so made that us long as
there is a chance to retreat, as long
as there are bridges behind US, we are
tempted to turn back when the great
test comes.

Jack Sheppard as a Text.

Jack Sheppard had great hold upon
the imagination of the people of his
time. The fact that 100000 people wit
messed his execution at Tyburn on
Nov. IS, 1924, upon the tree that bears
twelve times a yeare' is some witness
to his grim popularity. But one Of the
strangest tributes ever paid him was
the sermon preached upon him in a
London church
"Oh, that We were all like Jack Shep-
pardr' began the preacher, to the stu
pefactiOn Of his congregation He went
on TO draw a parallel between things
of the flesh and those of the soul and
to point out that the genius shown in
hOusebreaking might have been be-
slowed upon picking the locks Of the
heart with the nail of repentance. .

A GROTES0UE BIRD.
Remarkable Assortment of CoIcrs ard
Peculiar Shaped Beak of the
Brazilian Toucan.

The very peculiar looking Brazilian
bird, the tOucan, has a body about as
big as that of a good sized parrot, but
its beak is very different and easily
its dominant feature, though this bird
is by no means lacking in bright and
striking cOlOrs. The tOucan's beak is
half as long as its body, and ii is broad
and thin and set on edge vertically,
shaped something like a blunted
Scythe, with the slightly curving,
rounded edge on top and ending with
a hook point turned downward-a re-
markable beak in size and shape-and
this beak is tinted with a remarkable
assortment of cOlOrs, purple and red
and green and yellow, while around
the beak at the head runs a line OF
black
The eyes of the toucan are surround
ed by circles of bright light blue, and
on its breast, regularly outlined, is
broad and deep expanse of bright vel
low in size and shape in proportion to
the bird about the same as the geneF-
Gus expanse of shirt front shown by d
man in evening dress with his waist
coat cut low and well rounded out at
the bottom, this show Of yellow being
edged with q red line. The tOucaI's
body for the bulk Of it is black or g
very deep blue black, but around at
the base of the tail run two bands OF
color, one red and one white.
1t is not a song bird. 1t is sold as
pet, not for children, but to adults,
and it is more often fancied by mem
than by women. 1t takes $25 to $50 to-
buy q toucan.-New York Sun.

THE YELLED PROPHET.
was Most Noted Inipostor of the Mid
die Ages, Duping His Followers
BY the Art of JuggIery.

The celebrated Yelled Prophet OF
history was a Moslem fanatic whose
real name was Haken Ibn Hashem.
He was born about the middle of the
eighth century and became the most
noted lmpOstOr OF the middle ages.
He pretended that ne was an embOdi-
ment of the spirit of the living God"
and, being very proficient in jugglery
(which the ignorant mistook for the
power to work miracIes). soon drew
an immense number of followers
around him. He always wore a gold
mask, claiming that he did so to pro-
tect the mOrtals of this earth. who, he
said, could not look upon his face and
live.
At last, after thousands had quilted
the city and even left the employ Of
the Caliph al MOhdi to join the fanat-
ical movement, an army was sent
against the ''Veiled Prophet" forcing
him to fee for safety to the castle at
Keh, north Of the Oxus. Finally,
when ultimate defeat was certain, the
prophet killed and burned his whole
family and then threw himself into
the flames, being entirely consumed,
except his hair. which was kept in a
museum at Bagdad until the time Of
the cruSades. He promised his faith
ful followers that he would reappear
TO them in the future dressed in white
and riding a white horse.

ROD AND LINE WON.
Contest Between Strong Swimmer
and an Expert Angler.

Contest Between a Strong Swimmer
and an Expert Angler.
A novel contest took place some time
ago at the Endinburgh corporation
baths between one OF the strongest
swimmers in Scotland and a well
known angler. The contest occurred
in a pool eighty feet long and forty
feet wide.
The angler was furnished with an
eleven foot trolling rod and an un-
dressed silk line. The line was fixed
to a girth belt, made expressly for the
purpose, by a swivel Immediately be
tween the shoulders Of the swimmer
at the point where he had the greatest
pulling power.
In the first trial the line snapped. In
the second the angler gave and played
/ without altogether Stacking line, and
several pOrpOise dives were well han
died. The swimmer then tried cross
swimming from corner to corner, but
/ ultimately was beaten, the match end
ing with a victory for the rod and
. line.
Another contest took place in which
the angler employed a very light trout
ing rod ten feet long and weighing
only six and One-half ounces, the line
being the same as that used with the
/ trolling rod The swimmer, whose aim
evidently was to smash the rod, pulled
and leaped into the water He was
! held steadily, however, and in about
five minutes was forced to give in.
The rod was again successful Al the
finish both competitors were almost
exhausted.
