The CHAPEL EXECISES
Anniversary Of James Whitcomb Riley
Observed This Mornins-Readinss
by Mrs. Nye,

The feature of the exercises at the
state normal school this morning was
the observance Of the fifty-nin an
niversary of the birthday of James
Whitcomb Riley, which fell on last
Monday, and which has been observed
in various ways all over the country
during the week.
The programme opened with the
sing Of an anthem by the quartette
choir of the Congregational church.
Miss Margaret Huntoon, Mrs. Wheeler,
The Strain Uprise, Allelulia, by Dud-
ley Buck, with Mrs. Lewis at the piano.
1t was given very creditable rendi-
ton.
After calling the attention of the as
sembled students to the general obser-
walton this week of the birthday an
niversary of the great poet, President
Weld said it was fitting that a. school
should observe his birthday. He won
dered how many before him had read
any Of the beautiful verses penned by
Riley. Not in the spirit of chidng, he
said that 1t was perfectly natural to
assume that very few of the pupils
had done so; however, he urged them
Of the twenty volumes Of verse which
Riley had written. He was the poet
of the people, because he interpreted
the thoughts of the people. So that
he students could learn and know
more about Riley, Mr.. Weld said he
had asked Mrs. G. A. Nye, a former
member of the school faculty, to give
her version of Riley and read some of
his verse.
In that perfectly natural nannoer
so characteristic of Mrs. Nye, she gave
beautifully prepared outline of
Riley's writings and began her re-
marks with an apt quotation which
began, When life was like a story" 1t
was a verse penned with the poets
own hand on the fly leaf of one of his
books. Mrs. Nye used many anecdotes
| to illustrate and interest her youthful
J hearers, the attention of whom she
commanded from first to last She
said Riley was present day poet. He
was considered the American Words
worth. No one more than he had sue
cessfully reached the hearts of the
people--the common people. He was
| loved for the very same reason that
the people of Scotland loved Bobby
Burns. During the progress of her
remarks Mrs. Nye read verses by Riley
in perfect harmony to the thought she
wished the students to carry home
with them--a wish to know more oi
him. She read snatches from Child
| hood. Neighborhood and Selfhood, and
4 she referred to his lines on The Chill
dren OF the Childless. Closing, Mrs
4 Nye read two beautifully impressive
1 selections. one of which was from the
i poem BereaYed. The expression o.
j appreciation from the students wal
quite pronounced.

ABOUT 3 o'cLocK--HAp SERVED
THREE TERMS AS POSTMASTER
OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS WAS
RESPECTED OLD CITIZEN.

Not unexpectedly, to the family and
friends. Edward L. Bjorquist, for three
terms postmaster of Moorhead, passed
away about O'clock this morning, at
his home. SIS Tenth street south, sur
rounded by nearly all the members OF
his family. . .... ...,. .#
For a long time Mr.. Bjorkquist has
been a sufferer from the dreaded tu-
berculosis. Not for year or more
has he devoted all of his time to the
office and has left most Of the prac-
tical details to be administered by his
deputy, Mr.. Fay. He was at his desk
about a week ago when his strength
failed him and he went home telling
some Of his close associates that he
thought he would never be able to
leave the house again.
Mr.. Bjorkquist became permanent
resident of Moorhead in 1882, and
some of his friends say he visited here
first in 1879. He established himself
here as q contractor and the court
house and some others of the larger
structures in the city were constructed
under his direction. He was born In
Sweden, May 26, 1857. He was twice
married and he is survived by his sec
ond wife and several children. He
also has two brothers who are resi-
dents Of this city, Carl J. Btorkquist
and A. NJ. Bjorkquist.
He was a prominent member and
communicate of the Swedish Lutheran
Bethesda church, as we'll as liberal
supporter. The funeral arrangements
are pending the receipt of replies to
kilograms which have been sent to dis
tant relatives and friends, but the OBJ
sequies will probably be held next
Monday or Tuesday. Mr.. Bjorkquist
was very highly esteemed in business
and social circles and enjoyed the full
est confidence of all with whom he
had to do.

Grand knight Clements and Wife Will
Long Remember This Day and

There was no attempt made to cele-
brate Columbus day in this city. The

for a celebration and the Knights Of

stration on this occasion. 1t was just
420 years ago today since Columbus
discovered America and in some of the
states the day has been made a legal
holiday.
Columbus day is now legal holiday
in thirty states. They are: Alabama,
Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colo
RADIO, Connecticut, Delaware. Idaho, H.
lInots, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine,
Maryland, Massachusetts,. Michigan.
Missouri, Montana, Nebraska. New
Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio,
Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island. Texas, Vermont, Wash
ington and West Virginia.
However, the day will not be for
gotten by the Knights Of Columbus of
Fargo, for from this day, Grand Knight
P. w. Clements and wife will date
the birthday Of their little daughter
who arrived at the family residence
about 10 o'clock this morning. The
mother and little one are getting along
nicely and the grand knight has been
kept busy at the telephone returning
thanks for congratulations that have
teen shoWered on him.

The hauling of a theatrical company
was in charge of Agent Lindsey, says
the New York correspondent of the
Cincinnati Times Star. He contracted
to take complete charge of a good
sized operatic company for three days,

The contract was a good one, and MIR.
Lindsey determined to make the oc-
casion memorable. Il will set the best
table you can find In the state said
he to the theatrical agent. Il will
guarantee there will not be single

So he bought all the steaks and
chops and Holsters and shell fish and
all of that sort OF thing that he could
find in the market, and planted them
in the ice box, and hired a relay OF
chefs and undertook to feed those
chorus ladies out of slenderness. There

ordered eggs.
"Got to ohder noah aigs by wire

For dinner that night thirty eight
OF the company ordered eggs in some
style. The chef wired ahead for more
eggs. At breakfast the next morning
the entire company Of forty wanted
eggs, and not one of them wanted those
At lunchheon thirty-two demanded
more eggs. That night the first pait
