A. & M Has Large Attendance.

/
| Rabbi Max Raisin spent Sunday
at the A. & M. College, where he
preached to the student body and
others in the college chapel and
while there was the guest of Prof.
Magruder.
DIR Rabbi talks interestly of the
college situation and of the facts
he gathered while there, and being
a man Of great intelligence, always
conservative, the information he
gave to representative of The
Dispatch yesterday will be crafty
ing to the friends of the college,
and is also very much in line with
what has heretofore been published
in this paper.
Speaking of the number of stu
denss present, DR.. Raisin said there
was over three hundred at the chap
ell exercises Sunday and that many
were not in attendance because
they went to iowD to church and
some had gone home on account of
Thanksgiving and had not return
ed. His information was to the effect
that there is now over 700 students
attending the college, and that Of
thel50 who are out, some will re-
turn after the holidays. Some will
not be permitted to return at all.
DR.. Raisin states that from the
information he gathered there had
previously been lax system of dis
clpline, and that Pres, Hightower,
recongnlzing the military character
Of tue school, had determined to
lnforce disciplinary measures more
rigidly than they had been enforced
in the past, believing that the best
interest of the college required this.
Some Of the students appered to be
hotheaded and resented this and
when the order was made against
the students talking to the ladies
during school hours it was seized
upon as a pretext for showing re-
sentiment toward the college author
ities. DR.. Raisin says that no one
who knows Prof. Magruder believd
that he could or would be rude to
young ladies'; that he was the last
man in the state who would be gull
ty Of such conduct. DR.. Raisln
says that he found DR.. Magruder
% be one of the most elegant and
cultered gentleman lie ever wnew;
venerable, loveabIe and polished
man and is credit to the state.
1t was the impression of many,
so Dr. Rasin found, that the trouble
at the college would result in good
and be finally of great benefit to
that institution i'll that it would
mean that in future pupils would
understand that they would have
to recognize the college athorities.
and obey the rulesthat are promul-
gated. Meridian Dispatch.

THACkERAY'S THANKS.

Thackeray's playful habit of wrap ping rhyme up in prose is happily il- lustrated in the letter below, which was written to his friend Hole:
 "Did you ever write and comply with your desire to have a page of autograph? You're welcome to 6 quire. Tell your friend the lady l have no pleasure higher than in writ ing pretty poetry and striking of the Tyre in compliment to gentleman whom benevolence did inspire t, send me partridges and pheasant killed with shot or wire but what ever the way of killing them, equal ly admire) and who of such prac- tices, I trust, will never tire.

WHY HOTEL MEN GO INSANE
Driven Distracted by Women Who Make Extravagant Demands for
 Few Days Stay.

"Ah;" exclaimed the manager of a fashionable hotel, as he held his hand to his burning brow. 'Women! !! Womenl They look the whole hotel over, make the most e1acting de- mands for the comfort of their fami- lies during a winter season, and then suddenly change the whole thing. After waiting upon two women in one day and arranging things so they will sign leases, the most expert hotel man is mental wreck.
 "Women who expect to remain only few days or weeks are no bet ter. They will write and engage rooms, and if they find we have giv- en them exactly what they ordered the shock is so great that they change their minds instantly and ask for something entirely different. And yet we must smile" New York Herald.

HcMEN DESIGNED FOR ANGELS
Sut the Devl! Ran Away With the Pat tern, Says Mrs. Easton of
 New York.

The Club for the Study of Life as a Fine Art opened its third sea- son the other afternoon with an ad- dress by Mrs. Mildred Manly Eas- ton, president and founder of the so- city. Mrs. Easton's subject was. "You-a Personality" About 200 women were present at the session, which was held at the Hotel Astor.
 "Right thinking" said Mrs. Eas- ton, ''is conductive to right living. All women were cut out to be angels, but the devil ran away with the pat tern, and now it is only by thinking along the right lines that a woman can be her own true self.
 "lf you want to be leaders, think right, be original and keep young. Doing the first two will make the third easy. Getting old, that is for a woman, is merely a habit. Forty is the age when woman begins to live. At that time she is eighty years young and eighteen years old. If she is not, then something is wrong.-New York Herald.

BREAKING THE SABBATH.

The wide divergence between the ideas of suitable Sunday observance which prevailed in the early years of the last century and those in force today is pretty we'll shown in the following story of the Beecher chil- dren, told in "The Life of Harriet Beecher Stowe" One Sunday little Harriet had been trying to feel and count her sins, but with poor suc- cess, as she felt so very well.
 Her two younger brothers, Henry and Charles, slept together in a trundle-bed in a corner of the nursery, where she also slept. She was walked up by the two little fel- lows chattering to each other while they lay in their bed, making little sheep out of cotton pulled from holes in the old quilt that covered them, and pasturing these sheep on the undulating hillsides and meadows which their imaginations conjured up amid the bedclothes.
 Suddenly Charles eyes grew big with fright, and he cried out:
 ''Henry, this is wicked! It's Sun- day"
 There was a moment of consterna- ton, followed by silence, as both lit tie heads disappeared under the old coverlid.

WOULD DO HENRY MUCH GOOD
Wise Wife Appreciated the Bishops Reply to Her Too Serious
 Young Husband.

At the opening of large relig- ious meeting in Iowa a few years ago a missionary bishop from neigh boring state took the usual steps toward putting his audience in good humor by paying some compliments to the state in which they were as sembled. He praised the products of Iowa one by one, and congratu- lated the people on living in so rich a land.
 When his speech was ended sol emn young clergyman rose and said that he ventured to call the bishops attention to one serious omission from the list of Iowa products, namely-eggs. The bishop, abun- dantly endowed with humor, prompt ly replied, to the delight of the as- sembly:
 q am extremely glad to learr that the hens of Iowa have so com petent young rooster to crow for them."
 Now, besides his humor, the bish- up had tender heart, and could not help fearing that his impulsive re- tort might have wounded the young man-to say nothing of the young mans wife. When he met her at a reception after the meeting his fears were happily dispelled.
 ''I want to thank you," she said. ''for your speech-especially for your answer to my husband. It will do Henry great deal of good"
 Fortunate Henry! Fortunate ev- cry young husband with an inclina- tion to take himself too seriously who has wise and devoted wife with an inclination of quite the op- posite kind Youths Companion.

The PeeviSh Child
 Needs a laxative

It is natural for child to laugh and play and when it sulks drowsily or cries you may depend on it something physical Is the matter. If you see no evidences of a serious ailment you will not be wrong if you quietly give it a dose of milo laxative that evening on putting it to bad.
 The remedy most generally recom- mended for this purpose is Dr. Cald- wells Syrup Pepsin, which mothers throughout the country have been giving their children for quarter of cen- tury. Today thousands of families are using 1t where hundreds used it then, and there must be good reason for this word of mouth recommendation.

FIGHT IN SIGHT
Difference Over Insurance Tax Nav
bring on Suif


Bismarck. n. D.. Feb. 26.-There
is a radical difference of opinion be-
tween the Fidelity Mutual Life of
Philadelphia. the Northwestern Mu-
ttal Life of Milwaukee and a number
of other life insurance companies, and
the insurance department Of this state
over the amount of premiums on
North Dakota business with which the
companies shall be charged for taxa
ton purposes. Taxes on gross prem
iums taken in his state in 1911 are
being paid under formal protest, and
unless the companies or the depart-
ment "give in" the matter in dispute
Will have to go to the courts for
judicial determination. The specific
protest to the department on the form
of gross premium return is directed
against the inclusion in the total of
taxable premiums of sums credited
TO M assured over the ac-
tually used by the company for prem
lum purposes. This excess the com
pany claims. in every instance has ac-
rue and been taxed in the year pre-
ceding that for which the report has
been made. h question has been
before the courts of various states and
the companies hold that their view of
the matter has been sustained in most
cases. Last week. however, the comp
troller of the currency held hat the
companies must pay the federal tax
on the gross premiums taken, thus
sustaining the position of the North
Dakota department.

MEFF0RO IS IN
MONTANA JAIL
Man Who Escaped From
Bottineau Located-Will
Be Brought Back

Bottineau, n. D.. Feb. 26.-George
+. Mefford, who escaped from the
Bottineau county Jail. is serving n c n
tence in the Dawson county Jail in
Montana, and us soon as his term ex-
pires there he will be brought to this
city to face the accusation made by
Bottineau officials. A photograph re-
ceived by local authorities has made
the identification complete.
Mefford's cas is peculiar. He was
arrested here charged with attempt
ing to secure property from a woman
whose husband had died only a short
time before. His escape from the
county Jail was effected with a num-
Der of others.
Shortly after he escaped here he
was arrested in Dawson county. Mont,
and the charge against him was prac-
tically identical with that made
against him here. After he had been
in the Dawson Jail a short time he
was successful in feigning insanity to
such an extent that he was sent to
the Montana asylum. There he re-
manned ten days. when the asylum
authorities detected the fact that his
insanity was spurious, and he was
returned to Dawson county.
Mefford is also wanted in Minne-
sofa, supposedly at Bemidji. for for
gerry. He came to Bottineau county
from Bemidii.
