and their children, but they resent
a philanthropy which provides oppor-

lions which make IL possible TO take
advantage of them.
After a general discussion. Mrs.
Freeman read a splendid paper on
The Quakers. whose history began
with the biography of their leader.
George Fox, the great religious and
social reformer. The establishing of
the quaker faith in England and Am
erica was attended with severe and
cruel persecution. They have always
had a high standard Of religion, have
always been advocates Of the simple
life, opposing all Unnecessary forms
in religious observance and urging
plainness of speech, behavior and APP
parel.
They believe In helping others quiet
" and u~nobtrusively and their infiu-
ence has been strong and lasting.
Peace and freedom for all have been
their motto from the time that Will
liam Penn made negotiations with the
Indians and the quaker academies
were the pioneers of the public high
school. Through all time they have
stood for highest christian ideals and
Mrs. Freeman concluded by saying:
"Of late years the quakers have given
much of their time to church unity,
church schools and colleges. and wide
missionary work and evangelism and
the church is in q fair way to do
even more than her proportionate share
IN the evangelization of the world
The name quaker has thus come to
be synonymous with conscientious in-
tegrity, honesty and industry"
After a business session in which
several new members were voted in,
a happy social time was spent and a
delicious luncheon was served by the

FROM FORUM item
THE ITEM IN THE TWENTY YEAR
AGO COLUMN OF THE FORUM
ABOUT BUFFALO HORNS RE-
CALLS SOMETHING OF THE
EARLY DAYS.

Minot Optic: Captain Flint pur-
chased 1000 sets OF buffalo horns at
Minot and had the same for sale; they
would now be worth something.
The above item from the twenty
years ago column Of The Fargo Forum
win make many old timers grow rem
iniscent Twenty or twenty five years
ago the chief industry of Minot, then
a mere village. was the collection and
sale Of Buffalo horns. Today a set Of
buffalo horns is almost as much q "a
riosity here as 1t would be on Ftftd
avenue, New York.
Mlnot old settlers state that when
they first came into this country the
buffaloes roved the praIries In droves
and grew fat on the abundant grasses.
The buffalo chase was an exciting
sport OF that time. The Indians or
ganized parties that drove the buf-
faloes from one place to another.
They would keep up the warfare until
the entire herd was wiped u As
time went on and the frontier became
settled the buffaloes became scafcer
and scarcer. Many were killed while
others were driven further west Until
they were a thing Of the past in this
territory.

BAY View CLUB MEETING
Last Meeting Of the Ysar-Ths Pro-
sramme Included Two Ex-
ceIlent Papers.

The Bay View Study club held its
last meeting Of the year on Monday
afternoon at the home of Mrs. w. h.
Allen on Eighth avenue south. Mrs.
Frederick Stratton gave a very excel
lent book review of Homestead, whose
author made an intimate study OF the
conditions governing the households
of the mill workers in the town OF
Homestead and has put the resul
into book form for the benef1t OF the
public. The unskilled workmen, usu-
ally foreigners, have the heaviest work
to do. and are paid the lowest wages.
AS a result the conditions surround
ing their home life are most deplor-
able. The districts where these la
borers live are greatly ~congested,
many families of sour or five living in
ne-room tenements, many having two
or more rooms being compelled to
use he kitchen as a sleeping room.
The street in front is an alley, with
shabby houses on one side and barns
on the other, the back yard being a
payed court surrounded on three sides
by houses and on the fourth by low
stables.
This is an example Of many homes
in Homestead, and other mill towns.
Life for the families of the skilled
workmen is brighter. The houses are
more attractive and sometimes there
Is a flower garden and a small lawn.
Some of these workmen are paid high
wages, but drink, without which the
mill hands think they cannot work,
takes a large part of the wage. In
the homes Of all OF these mill workers
much depends on the health, good
sense. capability, and thrift OF the
housewife. Strikes. cuts in wages, ac-
| cidents, sickness, death, etc, play an
important part IN the homes.
The owners OF the mill have spent
money for the best interest Of the
