TIED THE KNOT OVER AGAIN
Couple Found Divorce Decree Had
Not Been Filed Before First Zero.

Honorable Daniel Cupid must have
shot a double amount of love arrows
and then crossed his trail in ono in
stance at least: for Dave Houston and
Mrs. George James were married q
second time In Fargo Friday.
Love laughed at almost everything
in this case. except a little trifing
matter of divorce, and after very
thing WAS nicely settled. laughed a lit
tie more and Il hit harder.
Mrs. James was granted a divorce
in Grand Forks last September. BE-
cause she could no be married. in
this state for three months after the
divorce was granted, Mrs. James and
Mr.. Houston ven to Wisconsin where
the knot was tied.
Later they learned that the decree
of divorce was not filed by the attor-
ney until a month later than they
thought it had been and after their
marriage had taken place.
Fearful lest the knot they had had
tied in Wisconsin was no tied Sc
curcly enough, they went to Fargo
and were married all ovcr again.
Mr.. Houston is the SOL of tho late
ID. II. Houston, a bonanza farmer of
the Hunter district and one of the
first inventors of the kodak.
The bride was formerly in charge of
the detention hospital in Grand
Forks.

Today is Ash Wednesday and tho
beginning of the Lenten season. Ac-
cording to the rules of the Catholic
church this admonition is given:
"Remember. "a that thou art dust
and unto dust thou shalt return"
Sucll. is the admonitiOn given by the
mother church as she signs the fore
head of each one with ashes mt the
beginning of Lent. 1t is an admoni-
ton which man needs to hear very

especially during this holy season.
The ashes is obtained by burning the
blessed palm remaining from the pre-
vious year. and she invests its bless

ceremony. Before the principal mass

that thou art dust and unto dust thou
shalt return" The spiritual effect of
this action follows from the fact hat
blessed ashes is one of the sacrament
ais of the church. and. therefore, has
power to excite. pious dispositions and
arouses holy desires in those who re-
ceive it with humility and thus pre-
pare them for the more easy and effec-
tive reception of grace. The whole
ceremony Is symbolic of %pennance and

GRAND FORKS TO GET
ADDITIONAL TRAIN
SERVICE?
Proposed Change Would
Send Nos. 3 and 4 Through
This City

The visit today of Assistant Gencr-
Dakota division OF tho Great Northern
is believed in railroad circles in Grand
Forks to hint at Il proposed change in
the passenger schedule to take Of
feet probably April /.
While nothing official has beer Civ
cn out concerning Il change in the
time table of the Great Northern. il
is rumored that trains Nos. 5 and 4
will be u through Grand Forks, Far
so and Fergus Falls.
At the present time trains Nos. 3
and 4 run through Devils Lake and
over the Aneta line to Fargo. Should
the proposed change be made these
trains will mean additional import
ant service through Grand Forks and
there is a possibility thai they will be
run as through trains from Chicago to
tho coast.
IL the time table is revised to affect
trains Nos. 3 and 4 the westbound
train will most likely arrive in Grand
Forks at S o'clock in the morning.
The eastbound train will probably ar
rive here about 1880 o'clock in the
afternoon.
This proposed change may also af-
feet the running time Of train No. 9.
which is forced to wait in Barnes
vile our or five hours to relieve train
No. s out Of C%rookston.
Increasing travel is reported tn be
making additional passenger service
between Chicago and the coast ncccs-
sary and the most likely step to re-
lievc the situation is said to be the
operation of trains Nos. 5 and 4
through Grand Forks.
The visit of tho assistant general
passenger agent is taken to- indicate
that tho change will be made not later
than the first of April. Mr.. Wilde is
accompanied owe the Dakota division
by l.. l.. LaRue. travelling passenger
agent. They are said to be studying
conditions preliminary to the propos-
cd change.

UNPOPULAR TAX,

Among other unpleasant taxes
there used to be a tax upon the Eng
fish hearth. In 1862 it was ordered
that ''hearth money" SO cents,
should he collected for each house
holder for the privilege of warming
his feet. This, too, on each hearth
fire or stove in his house. It was not
popular tax. 1t was hard to evade.
The tax collector was given power to
count the chimneys from the inside
of the house, and chimneys, unlike
windows, cannot be blocked up and
concealed until the assessor has
taken their number. The tax was
collected with vigor until William
III. repealed it, Gin order to erect q
lasting monument of their majesties'
goodness in every hearth in the king

TALKING LOSES MANY A JOB
Man Who Succeeds Is Not He Who
Spends the Working Hours
In Conversation.

Conversation has lost many a man
his job. The man who spends part
Of his working hours in conversation
decentralizes his energies, weakens
his ability to concentrate and pours
sand into the machinery of the insti-
tuition.
The man who puts "the punch"
into his work is not the man who
gossips with the man at the neigh
boring desk, or who hangs around
corridors and corner cigar stores in
dulging in idle conversation.
The man who makes the toilet
room of an Office building social
resort never gets to the top of the
ladder. The toilet room orator may
be popular with the drones of the in
stitution, but it is always observed
that he has neither influence nor
money to lend He is generally the
kind OF man who tries to use "pull'
to get a raise.
Failure in life is the result of the
abuse of opportunity and malinger-
ing. It is the man who keeps busy
who keeps healthy, and only the
healthy in mind and body rise to the
top.
Some men are SO busy looking for
help that they forget to help them
selves.
The only pulp that counts in
getting closer to the goal of success
is the pull that comes from per-
sonal effort on ones own behalf, abil-
ity and push.
The man who expends his energies
in expatiating ON the merits of this
or that baseball club robs himself of
the energy required to seize opportu-
mites and advance.-The Mediator.

Helping to Develop State.

Nothing is nearer to the hearts

JOAQUIN MlLLER'S HOME.


Many years ago, soon after Joa-

him where he lived. His reply came
promptly: "Three miles east, one

you have graphic, symbolic state
,ment of Joaquin's mental habitat.
He lives nearer the rising sun than
most people and his normal dwelling
place is "a mile perpendicular" His

far seeing, blue, prophetic, keen,
kind and his soul attuned, when he
sings, to the harmony of the spheres.
