DESTROYS OF Avoiding Error

Under ordinary conditions he was a
mar Of prominence but as he ascend
cd the steps of his residence, very
early in the morning, it was evident
that he desired to be as much other
wise as possible. The cabby was ling
ering near to see that his charge was
safely disposed of for the night. The
door opened before the man on the
steps could get his key to work, and
he was met with the question:
"John, where have you been?"
(Silence.)
"John, where have you been?" He
turned to descend the steps.
"Are you going to answer my ques-
tion?"
"Yesh, my dear, I am. From my
pers'nal knowledge 1 can't give the
desired inf'rmation, N I'm going to
ask the nan that drives the hack"

Schoo Boy Philosophy

The school boy has queer ideas
sometimes, says the Great Divide, as
is demonstrated by the following
answer given to teachers in search Of
information: A poor boy was asked:
"What is a gentleman" ga fellow
that has a watch and chain," he re-
piled, adding, when he a that his
answer was not perfectly satisfactory,
''and loves Jesus" "Medieval is a
wicked nan who has been tempted"
ga demagogue is a vessel containing
beer and other liquids" "Tom, use
a sentence with responsibility in it,"
Tom said, "When n %suspender but
ton is gone there is a great deal of
responsibility on the other one."
"What is a lad?" inquired the
teacher. A very small girl answered.:
ga thing for counting with" "Give
the future of drink" "Present, he
drinks; future, he will be drunk"
"The plural for pillow" "Bolster."
Compare ILL.," sill, worse, dead.'
This recalls the answer of the boy
who said, Masculine. man: feminine,
woman; neuter, corpse "Who was
the first man." asked a teacher.
"Washington," promptly answered
the young American. "No," said the
teacher, "Adam was the first man."
"Oh, we'll l suppose you are right"
replied the u%ndaunted patriot, 'if
you refer to f%urriners." "How did
that blot come on your copybook,
SAM" 81 think it is a tear, Miss
Wallace" "How could a tear be
black, Sam?" ut must have been q
colored boy who dropped it," sug-
gested the resourceful Samuel. "What
made the tower of Pisa lean" "The
famine in the land"

HEALTH LEAGUE MEETS
of Organization
Set Forth. Important
Matters Discussed.

An executive session of the North
Dakota Health League was held at its
headquarters in Fargo Tuesday even
ing and was we'll attended.
The N. D.. Health League was Or
ganized last winter and has a large
membership throughout the state hav-
ing increased its membership AVER 300
per cent in the pa st two months.
The purpose of the league is declared
to be as follows:
"To teach its members how to re-
gain or to maintain health through
the understanding of the laws of
health, apd the principles of right liv-
ing.
"To safeguard them, through edu-
cation, from the evils of unnecessary
surgical operations. vaccination, SER
nm therapy and medical poisoning.
TO oppose the enactment, and secur
the repeal of unjust, oppressive and
un-American laws furthering the in
terests of the medical trust, as against
public policy and individual freedom.
In a statement of principles recently
issued it says:
"The objects of the Health League
are to aid in saving humanity from
the fearful effects of unnecessary oper-
ations, compulsory vaccination and
medical poisoning, to oppose political
empiricism and the employment of
dangerous in the treatment of
the sick and to teach it's members to
regain or maintain health through
natural means and an understanding
of the laws of health and the princi-
Piles of right living. This is of imme-
diate and pressing necessity and it
appeals to everyone having the good
of humanity and their own welfare at
heart.
Plans were made to communicate
and cooperate with the National
Health league in the work of giving
publicity to the methods and to defeat
the schemes of INSCRIPTIONS persons
who seek to enact laws curtailing the
individual freedom of the American
citizen, his wife and his children.

evening at the home of C. r. Allen
and mother, with good attendance de-
syite the decided sharpness of the

program the most interesting number
was an original paper read by J. M.
Cooper on the subject, ''Thn. City VS..
the Farm" Taking a like investment
in both instances, Mr.. cooper went
into figures and succeeded in showing
he farm investment considerably
ahead in money returns. Following
the regular program lists of riddles
were distributed which called forth
considerable mental n-r-g from the
crowd.
The exciting item in the ''eats'' was
a connection of culinary art COM

Parkman and Howe Anderson at the
bachelor apartments on the .Is,h
farm. This was a three-layer compos-
ition Hastily smeared with cream II
