ED sUMPTUoUs BANQUET LAST
NIGHT AT GARDNER HOTEL
FULL ATTENDANCE,

The members Of the Fargo Moorhead
Automobile Dealers association ban
quoted last night at 1880 o'clock at
the Gardner hotel. It was one of the
most elaborate repasts that has ever
been served at the hotel and the COM

proud in it's excellent cooperation
with Manager Leimbacher who spared
no pains to make it a distinct and un-
usual affair from every standpoint.
There were two big tables spread
for the company which comprised
nearly every member of the associa-
ton and several invited guests. J.
A. Graham, manager of the Fargo
branch of the Studebaker cooperation,
and the new president of the asso-
citation, presided at one of the tables
and Joe Fields, president and man.
ager Of the Gate City Auto Co.. pre-
sided at the other table. Both gentle
men exhibited unusual dignity, parti-
cularly Mr.. Fields, who frowned down
anything that savored of mirth or
hilarity at his table. A number of
SSitAShSu dl ms IhDlS, lnCluulnR MI
Deignan Of the Ford Motor Co., and
Mr.. Hall Of the E. M. F., had to be
reminded at frequent intervals that
no levity would be tolerated during
the whole occasion.
On account Of the paving PROPOSE
tion which came up for consideration
before the city council, Mr.. Hanson
Of the Case car. was obliged to leave
early in the serving of the dinner. 1t
was rumored by some that he was the
associations delegate at the council
meeting to see that good paving was
installed in the city this spring so as
to add to the various companies

An emphatic denial was made of this
statement by number of the members
of the. association. The auto mems
banquet was one of the most delight
full affairs that has been given at the
Gardner in long time and President
Graham and his committee in charge
are to be congratulated on the splen-
did manner in which everything was
arranged.

AT THE oRPHEUM.

One OF the best bills of the season
is now occupying the boards at the
orpheum theatre, and that the peo-
pie appreciate the attractions Man

by the three large audiences yester-

The headline attraction was the

This organization is composed Of three
ladies and one gentleman and the
dances they perform are truly
marvellous. The act winds up with
the gentleman holding one of the

some Of the songs he rendered were
really wonderful. Mr.. Connor has a
entirely new line Of jokes that he
springs and he kept the audience con-
vulsed with laughter.
The Great Kelter and his Scotch
lassie was a very high-class tight
wire performance. Kelter appears to
be as much at home on the wire as
the ordinary individual is on the
street. He turns somersaults, dances
the Highland fling and performs var
1ous stunts not ordinarily seen in an
act Of this kind. The Scotch lassie
sings one or two of Harry LADDERS
successes with a delightful Scotch ac-
cent and performs the Highland
fling very gracefully.
Godfred & Washburn in their sing
ing and dancing stunt are different
from the ordinary turn of this kind.
They taboo the ragtime melodies and
their turn is very artistic.
The Richards, novelty singers
scored again last night with their new
song Knock Wood, and had to re-
spond to an enthusiastic encore
The pictures were up to the usual
high average, and the bill is one of
the best OF the season.

As F'litcraft was hurrying across the

home he saw Griggs Just ahead of
him with a black band on the sleeve
of his light overcoat.
Though the two men had only a
bowling acquaintance, Flitcraft knew
that Griggs' wife had died recently,
and a sudden realization came over
him of what 1t must mean to man to
be deprived of long accustomed do
nestle companionship. 1t was a
thing. he reflected, which might hap.
pen at any time to any married man.
He wondered vaguely, as the light
overcoat with the black band disap-

had been good to his wife. Then he

wife, and then If anything should hap,

How a Play Is Written,

When Eugene Walter writes q play
the tools necessary to the process are
one large room, one outfit of furniture
and one exceptionally rapid stenog-
rapher. Mr.. Walter and the stenog-
rapher enter the room. The door is
locked, and work is begun by placing
the furniture as 1t is to be placed on
the stage-in other words, by setting
the scene. Then the young dramatist
begins to act. He Is all the charac-
tiers in his play. He rushes about the
apartments, quarreling with himself,
making love to himself, now standing
here as one person and then racing to
the opposite end of the apartment to
be another. All the time he is speak
ing the words that come into his mind
as natural under the circumstances,
and the stenographer is taking them
down at top speed At the end of an
hour or two an act is finished, an in

PpRSlAN LORE ABOUT ROSE
Nightingale slngs. His FrenzIed Love
for that Flower and Dies
Beneath Rosebush.

Persian Legendary lore tells some
fanciful stories about the rose which
have great poetic charm. For example.
the poet Altar wrote The Book OF the
Nightingale" telling how all the other
birds appeared In anger before the
throne OF Solomon, asking him to de-
stroy the nightingale, which would not
allow them TO rest by night. but pour
ed forth It's Lays when peaceful ST.
lence should rein all over the earth.
After prolonged argument the bird was
acquitted. for 1t explained with such
pathos that its untimely melody could
not be restrained because of its fren-
zied love for the rose, a passion so
hopeless and undying that II could
never be made voiceless. Another
Persian belief is that nigh'ingales al
ways die beneath rose bushes, stupe-
fled by the scent. Jamie, a Persian
poet, wrote of how "the first rose ap-
peared In Gulistan at the time the
flowers demanded a new sovereign
from Allah, because the drowsy lotus
would slumber at night. At first the
maiden queen blossom was shown
white, and encircled with protecting
guard Of thorns, but the poor night
gale fell into such an ecstasy of love
over her charms, and 30 recklessly
pressed his lovelorn heart against
those cruel thorns, that his blood, so
far as 1t could trickle into the flowers
bosom, dyed 1t crimson"
Another fancy states that the Per
furde OF the rose was gained from
cup of nectar thrown over it by the
little god Cupid, while its thorns were
those stings of bees used by him
as arrows in his wrath at finding
some roses scentless after all his
trouble.

lest they become uncomfortable. This
must surely have been the origin of
the saying: HE would complain of

Miss BOnningfOn'S
Boots
BY James Cofhcorf

Perhaps at more fashionable wa
tering place Miss Bonnington's boots
would not have created the slightest
stir, but at Silver Beach the first ques.
ton asked the newcomer on the piazza
was, Have you seen Miss Bonning
toms boots?" and negative reply was
to admit truly recentness Of arrival.
There was nothing remarkable
about the boots save that they were
Of Nile green waterproof material
laced high upon the calf. At the re-
sort where stockings or at the best
the sort of canvas slipper to be had
at the drug store for a quarter were
considered sufficient, the appearance
Of Miss bennington on the sands at
the bathing hour was the signal for
the gathering Of a crowd of the curl.
GUS.
Natalie bennington protested an In.
difference to the curious gaze Of the
hotel patrons and the natives. She
could not help being aware Of the ex.
element she created, yet she did not
discard the boots.
Ridley told himself a dozen times
that he did not love Miss bennington
because Of her boots. A dozen times
he had started to leave the place and
thus free himself from the web of
the enchantress, yet each time he saw
Natalie without the boots-and stayed
In honest truth he could not tel
whether or not he loved the girl
Aside from these odd bathing boots
her attire was most demure. She af
fected the simplest dresses-and
looked better in them than the WON
en- who wore silks and satins all out
Of harmony with the weather.
Her manner matched her garments
for she was demure almost to a point
Of affectation and never a roguisf
twinkle marred the calm serenity Of
her full, lustrous eyes. Those eyes
were Natalie's greatest charm. Ridley
loved to lie on the warm sands in the
afternoon, sounding the placid depths
of her liquid orbs. At such times he

was sure that he was In love, and he
was-until he remembered the boots
1t was in this uncertain frame of
mind that he took to dressing early
for his bath, and then running up the
sands, around the point well out OF
sight of the crowd around the boats
Not until he felt sure that she had
gone back to her dressing room did
be venture to return, but even with
this expedient his heart continued to
be torn by uncertainty.
But 1t was to the boots that he owed
the final answer to his questioning
heart. He was running along the
sands on his way back to the bath
houses when, on the turn Of the point,
he discerned a huge sun umbrella.
Projecting below the edge he could
see Miss Bonnington's boots digging
desperately beside q mound of sand
that covered the extremities of her
companion. Just as he passed, scarce.
ly making a sound In his bare feet, he
heard kiss; a loud. undeniable
smack.
It was not the sort of a kiss he
imagined some day bestowing upon
the arched curve of those red lips
when he should have at last decided to
speak. He had mentally rehearsed the
scene over and over again, now in 9
dark corner Of the piazza, again under
the.sunshade, but always in his dreams
the scene had ended in her whispered
"Yes" and his lips had touched hers
tenderly, reverently, in the first kiss OF
love.
That Miss bennington should seek
a secluded part Of the beach on which
to indulge her osculatory tendencies
was intolerable. He was a man easily
swayed by little things and the loud
ness Of the smack had sickened him
while at the same time his loss told
him how truly he had loved the girl
He dressed as rapidly as possible and
sought his room. He was too miser
able to mix with the others. He want
ed to be alone where he could think
! 1t all over.
