LONGFELLOW CLUB MET
Old Residents Tell of Experiences Dur
ing Farao's Growth-History of So
eial Center Work interesting.

One of the most interesting meet
ings in the history of the organization
was that which was held last evening
at the Longfellow school by the Long
fellow Neighborhood club for the old
settlers. .
Professor Vowles opened the pro-
gramme with a talk regarding the
educational differences and conditions
in Germany, England and the United
States. He took up largely the posi-
ton occupied by the various forms Of
athletics in our country and England
and prescribed that remedy for the
universities Of Germany, where stu
dents have a tendency to grow morbid
and suicides are frequent.
Mrs. Shaw was heartily encored for
her paper on Woman's Sphere-From
a Mans Point of View. Her ideas
were most striking and original. She
responded to the encore with a Ger
mans version Of Barbara Frietchie.
Judge Miller then spoke on the fut-
ure of Fargo, telling what might be
done and what was most necessary
for an up-to-date city. He told of the
! growth of the city as he had witnessed
it in his thirty-four years of residence
here.
Mrs, F. H. Wilder was called upon
and she gave an interesting history
Of the social center movement, the
plan being adopted now in many places
being far removed from the old-timt
social settlement work. A messag,
from Mrs. Gilbert Haggert was reat
telling of her pleasant surrounding
in the west and offering greetings tc
the club.
One of the principal talks of tn,
evening was that given by Col, w. B
Douglas, one of Fargo's most promi

THE CHINESE REEL

11E NI11INEO6 MILL
Horace Aloysius Upper, pro-
fessor in Chinese literature at
Gables college, was strolling over
the campus, lost in thought.
"Shall 1 or shall not ask Miss
Virginia Smith to become my
bride?" he muttered. 1t was
problem which had vexed many
of his waking hours. Miss Smith
was professor in mathematics at
a neighboring feminine institu-
ton. United, they would possess
complete mastery of Chinese lit
erature and mathematics. But
Prof. Upper was constitutionally
averse from rash and precipitate
action.
The sudden swapping of
string and fall of a light object at
his feet recalled him to himself.
Upon the ground lay a broken
parcel containing his last weeks
laundry. Thus reminded, he pro-
ceeded to the residence of All
Win, professor in Chinese sapon-
ifcation to Gables college. There
was nobody within the shop.
Stepping through into the back
room, Prof. Upper perceived the
Chinaman seated over a bowl,
which rose an overpowering
aroma. His eyes were closed, his
face a CHASTITY white. Instantly
Prof. Upper knew that the old
man had been preparing opium
and had been overcome by the
fumes. Itwas the work of mo-

Upper. Let me see that ring

fessor's finger. "You turn him
so, all things of future lifee come

Reveals the future, eh?" said
the professor, thinking of Miss
Smith. Lets, see" He turned
the ring.
Instantly he was out of the
shop and travelling at breakneck
speed toward Miss Smiths house
five miles away. He was there in
a couple of seconds and in the
parlor. "Will you be my wife,
Virginia ?" he heard himself say

Smith, sinking her head upon his

they were back, and, quicker than
thought, a succession of events
rushed past. "It's a fine boy"

 The New Haven railroad is accus- ed of having promised electrification for Boston and breaking that prom fse. When merger of the Boston & Maine and the New Haven was un- der consideration by the commission on comemrce and industry about five years ago, the New Haven was asked what it would do if 1t were 1ermitted to make the merger The New Haven said to the public through that commission that if it were permitted to merge the proper ties and go on with it's plans as con templated it would agree that within five years it would electrify the rail- roads within the metropolitan dis trict of Boston.
 The commission did not recom- mend the plan of the New Haven company. On the contrary, it refus- ed to recommend legislation for the unification of the properties but sub nitted a plan which was not accept able to the New Haven and which was rejected by the legislature.

 typical example of this group was a little boy, nine years old whose ed- ucational treatment was conducted by Dr. Town for several months under the supervision of Dr. Lightner Wit mer. He was a delicate, sensitive boy, much too childish for his years, and impressed one as having much more mentality than he could command. would occasionally surprise one by remark indicating a high degree of in- telligence. Though his speech was marred by an infantile stammer Of a severe type he formed complicated ssn- tences and used the longest words without hesitancy. Left on the porch to play. he was found ten minutes lat CT standing in the identical position. He would also sit at table without eating, until started by a word of suB- gestton. There was clearly a defect initiative, negativisrn, and poor emo tional control. An allied condition Waa a marked echo1a1ia.
 At the Lincoln State School and Col ony where pr. Town is director of the department of clinical psychology. she has found among 45O children only seven cases similar to this boy. "These cases" concludes pr. Town, "do not present the usual picture of feeble mindedness. neither do they present such a picture with a later grating Of insanity, neither do they typify the insane child; they present the picture of defective, incomplete development complicated from the very begfnnins by an aberrant functionfng of cer- tain mental processes still in course of development, which aberrant func- tiOning doubtless interferes greatly with the devolpmental procese.''

controversy which he has started against the New England railrpad q system. Yet he maintains orga- nization that has been preparing for very many weeks to infIame the pub lie by vo1leys of attacks of the most personal, vicious, cruel and unright- eous character upon me personally, and upon my-management of the New England lines, assailing my in tegrity, denouncing the financial management with false and distorted figures, and defaming New England in every newspaper avenue, in New England and New York, open to his skilfu1ly trained organization.
 The answer to his false figures is the Validation report of the state Of Massa chusetts two years ago, and he has not one new figure except that which is false or distorted from that report, and he has had nearly two years in which to twist and distort those figures. The assaults upon the purchasing department of the New England lines are answered in the of ficial report of the public utilities commission of New Hamp pshire, just made public, after a year of inves- tigation regarding railroad contracts and supplies.

 Make the baby's toys as bright as possible with color, but don't load him down with pink and blue ribbon in dressing. Let the clothes be as fine and dainty as you like, but without fril1s and furbelows.

 Yellow in all shades is much in de- mand this season and every one is beautiful, but not all are equally be- coming. Some of the deep gold shades, for instance, are lovely to look at but desperately trying to wear and must be softened by quantities of black lace or velvet, The juxtaposition of gold and black is exceedingly smart.

THE NEW SUFFRAGE
 CAMPAIGN IN CONNECTICUT

Many new features will be intro duced into the suffrage campaign which is to begin in the middle of January. In the ten towns which the campaign Is to reach, a large show window will be secured, and a contfn- uous exposition of suffrage principles and personalities will be made In a large frame in one part of the show window there will appear cards bear ing reasons why women should vote. These reasons will be changed ire cuently and in the course of the week some twenty or thirty reasons will have been exhibited. Another frame like the reasons, will be changed from time to time, and in the course of the week sixty of these pictures will have become familiar to the passers-py; will include statesmen and lawyers; editors and journalists; authors and artists; singers and musicians; social workers and phtlanthorpfsts; ministers and religious workers.
 The most interesting Of these exhi- bits however will be one which will times a day This Is in the form of a voiceless lecture.

Personal Statement.

Now let me say a few words per- sonaliy Ought not the New England lines on fair terms tQ. give preference to home industries in the purchase of equipment and supplies? I have endeavored to give such preference.
 It is under this policy that a very large amount of capital has been put by New York and western interests into the construction lines at Sagamore, Mass, and Worcester, Mass, and under this policy our or ders have been given, first to plants upon our lines, next to those in New England, and when terms were un- satisfactory we have given the or ders elsewhere with reluctance.
