ANANIAS CLUBS
Big BANQUET

Bismarck, N. D., Oct. 2S.-The date
of the Ananias club banquet has been
set. There will be no further post
ponement. This is the first annual
banquet of the club and it will be
held at the Mckenzie hotel on Thurs
day evening, November 81. Col. G. B.
Little, Capt. !. p. Baker and p. G.
Remington will act as the committee
having kindly consented to serv in an
unarmed capacity to see that the first
annual affair OF what promises to be-
come a famous Bismarck institution is
pulled off right. f.
There is always a wide demand for
tickets and it Is believed that the large
Mckenzie dining room will be suf-
ficient to hold the assembly. The
invitations will be sent out this week,
and because of the urgent demand for
plates the tickets apportioned to a
town that are not taken within a few
days will be awarded some other town
which feels that 1t is no getting its
share.
The banquet promises to be. the
greatest success of any. festive oc-
casion in the history Of the northwest.
There will be guests here from he
twin cities, and from Chicago and
Indianapolis.
The Ananias club is a fictitious or
ganization which holds its imaginary
meetings weekly and the proceedings
are reported by the humorous edi-
tor of the state, Col B. G.. White
head, for his newspaper. 1t is the
idea to have most of the leading men
of the state at the banquet. and it
promises to be filled with fun from
start to finish. There are six demo-
Gratis and six republicans on the pro-
gramme. What Is said that night will
not be reported in the newspapers.

WILLING TO SHARE PENNIES
Generous Act Of Street Walt That
Gained Him a Friend in
Great Novelist.

Charles Dickens, the creator of
many delightful child characters,
earned a million dollars during his
lifetime with his pen, but often walk
ed the streets of London in search OF
material for his books without penny
in his pocket.
One evening while doing this he
was accosted by a small boy who
asked him for penny. Dickens search
ed his pockets. but they were empty,
and so he told the boy, who was sniv-
ering in the cold.
Poor mani" exclaimed the little
fellow, "we'll go hunks togetherl"
Dickens stood back In the shadow
OF the street to see what the outcome
would be. The lad continued TO beg.
and finally gained two pennies. He
came dancing to Dickens with jolly
ring In his voice.
Now" he said, wen have two hot
buns apiecei"
Such generous spirit under such
trying circumstances struck Dickens
80 forcibly that he took the lad home
with him, and there he was fed and
clothed, and started on the road to a
better life.
