ERNLY EQUIPPED CHANGES
TO BE MADE.

Devils Lakes popularity as a hotel
town is continually increasing in the
eyes of the travelling public and al

THE SAINT ARIUM
At DUNSE|TH
DUNSEITH PLACE WOULD BE
FILLED TO CAPACITY IN A
WEEKS TIME,

Grand Forks, N. D., April 5.-"If
the sanitarium at Dunseith were COM
pleted at the present time it would be
filled to capacity in week. The rea-
son for this is because the people are
becoming educated to the knowledge
that tuberculosis is a disease, which,
while not fatal, is dangerous, and that
tho public is learning that it is each of
three things, infectious, preventable
and curable.'
Such was the statement made by
DR.. J. Grassick, secretary of the state
board of health, when questioned as to
the progress being made in the cree.
ton Of the stste sanitarium for tuber.
cular patients at Dunseith.
"The much needed and much talked
of sanitarium will be veritable lit.
tie city in itself when completed and
its motto will be right living.'n said
DIR. Grassick. "The foundation of the
cure for tuberculosis is right living and
the rules which will be laid out for the
patients will conform with those Of
God and nature. An athlete would
have but small shift among his fellow.
did he not live right, and is behoove!
every person to live as near rightly a.
possible

sneers.
So often this sneer is hidden under,
polished exterior. The girl does not
at first realize the sting. She calls.

breeding or great intellectually.
She begins by needing that sneer,,
first in triaes such as behavior or,

It takes a brave woman and an ex.

deadly influence her whole view Of life
Is changed. A girl Of sweet nature

ONCE THE HOME OF AUDUBON
Beautiful Mansion Where Great Natur..
altst Died 10 Now a New
York Tenement.

In q dismal hollow, at the foot OF.
One Hundred and Fifty-eighth street,
New York, overlooking the Hudson, is.
a great square house that looks as
II it ought to be haunted-and per.
haps 1t is. It was once magnificent.
Its lawns were perfect and its foun.
tains played in the sunlight. On
every side Of it were other handsome
homes. and all the owners were
friends of long standing. Now the
granite wall Of Riverside drive almost
cuts into the roof of this fine old
mansion. Italian laborers live In It
and unkempt babies sprawl upon its:
porches. A giant apartment house
towers over it and only the rays Of
the western sun ever reach its
windows.
It is the old home Of John James
Audubon, the American naturalist,
which he purchased in 1912 and lived
in for some years with his sons
Victor and John and their families.
He died there in 1851 and was buried
in Trinity cemetery, near the woods
that formed part Of his estate and
which were later called Audubon
park. For five or six years Audubon
park has been but memory, only q
few dilapidated homes remaining In

HIunders Of Royal Authors.

6Iunoero OF Hoyat AUtnoTos
Royal authors sometimes need q
deal Of editing. A glazing instance is
Frederick the Great. whose spelling
and punctuation astounded Carlyle,
says the London Chronicle. "A steure"
for "a cette heure" was q specimen Of
the former, land as for punctuation,
he never could understand the mys-
terry Of it; he merely scatters few
commas and dashes az II they were
shaken out OF a pepper box upon his
page and so leaves it,
How, asks Carlyle, can such sloven-
nness be explained In q king who
would have ordered arrest for the
smallest speck Of mud on a mans bun
belt. indignant that any pipe clayed
portion of a man should not be per-
fectly pipe clayed?" He can only con-
clude that Frederick really cared lit
tie about literature after all. Also
"he never minded snuff upon his own
chin, not even upon his waistcoat and
breeches." Il am a king and above
grammar" said another monarch.

About the Camel.

In a school in the South Of ireland
p schoolboy Of tender years Is said to
have produced the following essay on
the camel:
"The cannimal is sheep Of the des.
ert. It is called backteria because
It has hump on its back. Tho canni-
mal is very patient, and will lie down
and die without groan, but when it
Is angry it gets its back up, which is
called taking the hump. The shep-
herds Of cannimals is called Arabs.
When they live in towns they are
ealled street Arabs. When the canni-
NAL goes on journey it drinks as
much as it can to last for many days.
Such animals are called accQuiducks.
Those that cannot carry enough are
called inebriates."

Hurt Of Unkind Words,

Unkind words are sharper than
swords. II you cut your finger there
Is but temporary pain. If your heart
Is hurt with sarcasm or brutal speech
the suffering continues as long as your
memory is working. Since We all
know the agony Of injured feelings it
certainly behooves all Of US to be
sparing with stinging conversation.
AS one grows wiser and older one
pays little heed to what others say.
Unkind things then apparently don't
have the power to hurt. The older,
wiser ones just twirl their thumbs and
smile. It is a great relief when one
gets to that point Of perfect tranquil
lily.

DICKENS As he WAS IN 1889
Interesting Description Of Great
Writer Published In the knicker-
booker Of That Year.

In person he is a little above the
standard height, though not tall. His
figure is slight, without being meagre,
and is we'll proportional. The face.
that first object Of physical interest, is
peculiar, though not remarkable. An
ample forehead is displayed under a
quantity Of light hair, worn in a mass
on one side rather jauntily, and this
Ia the only semblance Of dandyism
in his appearance. His brow is
marked, and his eye. though not large,
is bright and expressive. The most
regular feature is the nose, which
may be called handsome; an epithet
not applicable to his lips, which are
too large. Taken altogether, the
countenance, which is pale without
sickness, is in repose extremely
agreeable and indicative of great re.
fnement and intelligence.
Mr.. Dickens manners and converse
ton. except perhaps in the perfect
abandon among his familiars, have no
exhibition Of particular wit, much less
Of humor. He is mild in the tones of
his voice, and quiescent. evincing
habitual attention to etiquette and the
conventionalisms of polished circles.
His society is much sought after, and,
possibly to avoid the invitations press
ed upon him, he does not reside in
London, but with a lovely wife and
two charming children occupies re-
treat in the vicinity. He is about 26
years OF age. but does not look more
than % or "a. Mr.. Dickens is en-
tirely self-made, and rose from an
humble station by virtue of his moral
worth, his genius and his industry

mer mayor of Devils Lake the follow
ing prominent mention:
The Weinhard- Astoria hotel of this
city has been purchased by F. NJ. Whit
man, a we'll known hotel man Of Dew

merly owner of the Sevilla hotel in
Devils Lake, and was a prominent fig

there for twelve years, having been
mayor of the city for six years, during
which the city grew in population from
1000 to 5000.
Mrs. Whitman, who is at present in
California, will arrive in couple Of
weeks, and son, who is in Dakota,
will also arrive shortly and assist Mr..
Whitman in the conduct Of the house.
The Weinhard-Astoria was built in

house has become one of the best

GIVE REALITY TO THE CHILD
Writers Of tho Nineteenth Century
Responsible for Valuable Addl-
ton to Literature.

Children were only found yesterday.
Before the nineteenth century the
child mind and the child heart were
not supposed to have enough in them
to interest the majestic adult. It is
true that you find delightful baby
in Homer; that in Vergil there Is the
prettiest glimpse Of little girl, and
up and down in the classics you may
meet half dozen other pleasant
shadows Of children. But they are
only shadows, only at the most charm
ing pictures. They give you as much
as II they were painting or sculpture
for In children's bodies art has al
ways had interest enough-only what
a child looks like. the pretty weak
ness, the instinct for play, the native
gesture and movement. Not till the
return to nature" not till the spirit
Of romance moved on the waters at
the end Of the eighteenth century, do
you find poets beginning to tell Of the
thought and faith in a child's mind.
the mysteries of the child's heart, the
fancies that are dreams and the fan.
cies that are visions. You may think
that they have gone too far, that they
read into childhood the laborious
philosophizihg and sometimes the la.
bored sentimentality of the adult. But
no one who loves children will deny
that the best Of the children in nine.
teenth century books have far richer
reality, far fuller life than any that
were born in earlier words. And some
Of the best are in Dickens.
