gypsies are herew

"THE gypsies are herer'
Many of US remember the
awful scares of ingenious
childhood when the word
went round. In fact, very often we
were the first to note the presence of
these strange people, of whom we
stood In mortal terror, fearful that at
some unsuspecing moment they would
grab hold of US. rudely thrust US into
one of their mysterious and forbid
ding looking wagons and make off
with us, especially if we We're BID lit
tie boys and girls and didn't mind our
mothers and fathers as we should.
And a better behaved lot of children
1t would have been hard to find any
where. Even If we behaved the very
best we knew how we had doubts
and such serious and calamitous
doubts they wereLthat the gypsies
would steal us anyway.
In the days when this haunting fear
gripped US we didn't want to know
anything about the gypsies. All we
wanted was for them to go away-far,
far away. The reinsurance of parents
that the gypsies really wouldn't steal
us, that the story of their doing such
<terrtble things was untrue, was never
convincing. Recollections of the one
time dread bob up when, grown up,
unafraid and humanity curious, we
venture into the midst of these pill
grims OF the road to look them over at
close range and take note of how they
live.

CLUB WILL CONSIDER
Three IMPORTANT Matters Will BE
Subjects for Action Before Com
mereiaI Club of Moorhead.

Three matters Of paramount inter-
est to the city of Moorhead generally
will be considered at a special meet
ing of the commercial club, a call for
which has been issued by Secretary
Wright, for Friday evening at the
usual time.
First will be the action to be taken
by the club in connection with the
formal opening of Moorhead's new
~ireproof hotel, the Comstock, an en-
terprise which the club promoted and
got behind of within a month after
the destruction of the Columbia, Jan.
2, 1911. Under the auspices of the
club the site for the new hotel was
purchased and transferred to the COM
pany which constructed the new
house, The Northwestern Mutual In
vestment Co., Fargo, and h idea pre-
walls that the club should undertake
the arrangements for the formal open
ing of h new house.
Another question to be threshed
out will be the matter of the election
ordered by the board of education
providing for the voting on the propo-
sition to bond the city for the sum
of $75, 900 to be used for the erection
of a new high school building, etc
| Some means will be devised for the
| placing of all the facts before the
| people informing them just what the
bonding Of the city for the amount
asked for means.
Also, the club will consider and
| take some action regarding the pro-
posed new Sabin-Baker road. The
committee in charge will make a re-
| port and probably some suggestions.

The facts in the case show that n
Of the city's best now physicians
who has been prominently identified
with a number Of its medical insti-
tutions rendered a bill for $12 for his
treatment for the disease known as
h-ydrocephalus, or water or the brain,
of a boy In New jersey. The doctor
a physicians now recognize \
this disease is in some cases curable
by medical treatment, while the In
dictment says that it Is incurable eX-
cept by surgery. AS the doctor In
question did not attempt the latter
method the charge of obtaining mon
ey under false ~pretenses ts made.
Should the state win its case a Curl
GUS situation would arise under which
it might be called upon to codify all
diseases with the proper treatment
for each, for physicians might be
slow II undertake treatment If such
an act, through conflict with the
views of the authorities, might lead
to indictment and punishment. A
legal code of all diseases and their
proper treatments would undoubtedly
be a remarkable work, and the pic
ture Of the authorities prescribing
castor oil for juvenile stomach ache
is no less wonderful than would be
the predicament OF a physician who
at a critical moment happened to
have misplaced his code book.
$50 - H
Cops de luxe, a variety hitherto UNI
known, capable either of chasing
crooks or furnishing exhaustive infor-
nation to feminine bargain hunters,
and calculated to make the ordinary
policeman turn green with envy, ara
soon to grace Fifth avenue, according
to the plans of merchants whose es-
adjustments line both sides Of that
famous ~thoroughfare. For some Tins
complaints have beer common that tha
famous street of ~millionaries has be-
come a favorite hunting ground for all
sorts of panhandler's. Accordingly
Fifth avenues merchants now propose
to introduce guardians of their own
imposing physical and sartorial re-
quirements which will make them th@
observed of all observers. AS a start
it is planned to put eight men IN duty
in the Fifth avenue business section.
Two OF them will be plain clothes men
in a technical sense at least, though
| whether they will be clothed in frock
coats and silk hats is not yet announc-
/ ed. The other six, however, will be
uniformed in gorgeous style, resemb-
ling somewhat the London 'bobby" and
somewhat the Prussian grenadier. Each
member Of the new ultra exclusive
force will be Of ~hercnlean build and
clad according to present suggestions
in a blue uniform with crimson or gold
facings. Not only will they be expect
ed to detect and Danish all crooks, but
to be walking encyclopedias Of the
knowledge dear to the feminine shop
per. Altogether their advent will set
a new standard in the police service
not only for New York but the whole
country as well.

STORE ROBBED
AT DLWORTH
BURGLARS GOT BUSY AT REM.
LEY & OLSON HARDWARE
STORE AND SECURED ABOUT
$50 WoRTH OF MERCHANDISE
SAFE NOT TOUCHED.

Burglars entered the branch hard
store of Remley & Olson at Dill
worth after IL o'clock last night and
merchandise to the value of about
$50 was taken from the shelves and
glass cases, principally knives, razors
and other cutlery. The robbery was
reported to the Moorhead and Fargo
police as soon as discovered, but up
to late this afternoon no clue to the
thieves had been found.
Entrance was effected by the break
ing Of a window at the rear OF the
building. Remley & Olson say that no
attempt was made to interfere with
the safe, but S. in change was taken
from the cash till. The FIRMS man
ager of the Dilworth branch store did
not close up last night until IL o'clock
and everything vas in good order
when he left. The theory OF the police
is that whoever did the job were ex-
pedious in the work and probably left
the town on one of the night trains
too smart to take the risk Of dis
posing of any of the stolen stuff in
Moorhead or Fargo. Chief O'Laugh-
lin and the local policemen are keep
ing a sharp lookout on all suspicious
characters.

Col. Archibald Oracle. u. S. A.,
who was a passenger on the IT,

great liner as she took her fatal
plunge, and came to the surface
just as a collapsible canvas raft
was floating by, With a COM
panion in the water he rescued a
score of seamen.
Colonel Oracle had just COM
pleted in England a diplomatic
history of the events in connec-
ton with the war of 1912, and
mourns the loss of the manu-
script, of which there was no du-
plicate.

cape in a current magazine Col
onel Oracle tells how he plunged
from the Titanic and finally, with
a number of other men boarded a
bbat which had been floating up
side down. when the compile
ment Of men was about thirty"
he says, I'VE could not take a
single one more on the boat. If
We had, it would have collapsed.
The men struggling in the water
appealed for help but we had to
explain to them that to assist n
would be to destroy Us all. An

planned said, All right boys;
goodbye, and God bless you'll
sAll night long we lay upon this
boat, the water frequently up to
our waists. The Lords prayer
was repeated over and over again
in unison by us ali. Towards
dawn, in order to be seen better,
we all stood up In column fashion
two deep, and frequently shouted
for help. But for anyone to have
turned about to look back at that
time would have meant almost
certain destruction

To smoke or not to smoke
that is the question that is just
now agitating Zion City, ILL.,, the
model town founded by Alexander
Dowie some years ago., and now
presided over by his successor,
Wilbur Glenn Voliva. Recently a
new factory started at Zion City
and VoIiva discovered that some
of the employees used tobacco. The
use of tobacco is against Zion City
ordinances. So Voliva sent an
emissary to the workers, to urge
them not to smoke.
You have come to break our
laws" he said. you have come
to make unclean this city of purity
with your nasty unclean tobacco
habits and worse curse of drink"
Voliva and his followers declare
they will drive the smoker out,
mot by carnal weapons, but
through prayer and the mighty
sword of the spirit of our religion"
