Day Presents Uninteresting Fea-
lures With Few Minor
Changes.

New York, May 2.--The day in
the stock market was dull and in
most respects uninteresting The un-
dertone was generally formal and in
places decidedly strong but specula-
tive interest was light, with an utter
absence of participation by the pub
lie, Active demands again were re-
strlcted to a handful Of speculative
favorites.
Reading, after some early hesta-
ton, rose to Sits with a sympa-
thetic rise in Lehigh Valley. Special
ties were conspicuous at odd points
advancing 2 and and even 4 points
in the course of the session Ameri-
can Tobacco and some of its former
subsidiaries were weak declining in
connection with a report that the
House would support the resolution
providing for a review of the Amerl-
can Tobacco decision.

Something of a selling furry

Wheat Rally Sharp.
There was sharp rally in wheat
quotations when an authoritative
estimate appeared, putting the win

the market gradually slipped back

The Unconquerable Spirit of Man.
The discovery of the south pole is
now an old story. Yet its lesson and
its inspiration will never grow old.
Its lesson is that careful preparation
as to every detail is the secret of great
achievements. Its inspiration lies in
the fact that the spirit of man can
conquer all things.
The unassuming way that Captain
Amundsen went about his task, the
faith he displayed in going deeply into
debt that he might achieve his pur-
pose, the fact that he did not divulge
his plans until ready to make the dash,
the ample preparations that rendered
this journey SO much safer and easier
than any other polar exploration in
history, the conquering Of the south
pole In order that he might raise funds
to carry on extensive explorations in
the arctic regions, the simplicity of
his narrative after accomplishing a
ASoI lhdL dllSuC NcIl nave luIlleu ally
mans head, the struggle over the
mountain range, the thrilling journey
to the pole. all these give a touch Of
the heroic to the achievement and
make a powerful appeal to every
heart. There are few tasks so great
that some man will not prove equal to
their performance. Whatever offers a
challenge to the soul of man will in
time receive an acceptance Of the chal-
lenge.
Amundsen's feat is worthy to go be-
side that of Peary. OF course. there
were no such difficulties in the antarc-
tic as the arctic. for the reason that
the south pole is situated on Il CONT
nent. while the n conquered by
Peary is or an ice pack resting in a
great ocean. Yet either was difficult
enough to be worthy of conquest.
Aside from the practical utility Of
the discovery, the gain to science. the
chief good Of the achievement is in it's
example. The spiritual victory was
greater than the material.

WELL TOLD STORY
By a Langdon Resident of Cure by
Using Doan's Kidney Pills.

The following has more interest for
Langdon residents than 1t otherwise
would have because Mr.. Syre is one of
ourselves, a citizen of Langdon. If it
proved of assistance to but one person in
Langdon, it will have been worth the
telling:
W. H. Syre, manager Atlas Lumber
Co., Langdon, N. Oak says: II can
recommend Doan's Kidney Pills highly,
having received great benefit from them.
Off and on for fifteen years, l was sub
ject to attacks af lumbago and about a
year ago when suffering in that way,
l gave Doans Kidney Pills a trial. Their
merits we're soon proven and after [ had
taken the contents of three or four boxes
my trouble had entirely disappeared. I
have had no cause for complaint since
then and I give Doan's Kidney Pills the
entire credit"

Obituary of Mrs. {. j. Fox

The death Thursday morning follow
ing a prolonged illness of Mrs. E. J.Fox,
after months of suffering borne with the
patience and fortitude of a true christian
gentlewoman, brought along with it a
feeling of sorrow that entered the home
OF every Langdon resident. The passing
Of Mrs. Fox to the eternal rest beyond
the grave was something that those who
had visited the bedside and miristered
to soo,he the sufferings of the patient
knew to be the eventual outcome, but
this knowledge did not tend to assauge
the grief of those upon whom the bur-
den of loneliness and broken hearted SUI
fering fell with its greatest weight:
The deceased was born at Brewers
Mills, Ontario, in the year 1864, her
maiden name being Mary Joyce, the
eldest daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Lawrence
Joyce, who at the time eff their demise
some years ago we're residents of King
ston, Ont. On September End. 1889, oc.
Cured her marriage at the family home
in Langdon to E. j. Fox, of this city,
Mr.. Fox bringing his bride to Langdon
after a brief honeymoon on the trip west
-Four children were born to them, of
whom two sons, Charlie and Lawrence,
are living. Their daughter Kathleen,
died about seven years ago and another
grave in the family lot at Calvary ceme-
terry marks the last resting place of a
son who died in infancy. The home and
social life of the Fox family was of such
a beautiful type that it was the admIra-
ton of the entire community amid whom
they have made their home for upwards
of twenty years. Mrs. Fox wassa woman
of admirable qualities and was univer-
sally respected and esteemed. The
home life of the deceased with her hus-
band and @children was always happy
and the affection which it became her
lot to bear the last few months was
borne with the fortitude and courage of
n who's life had been we'll spent in
service and earned its reward above.
The funeral was held Saturday fore
noon from st. Alphonsus church, the
service being conducted by Rev. Father
ODriscoll, whose opening scriptural
quotation BLESSED are the dead who
die IN the Lord" may be said to very
aptly apply to the life of the deceased
Mrs. Power. a sister of the deceased from
Lorraine, N. D., has been in almost con-
slant attendance during her illness.
The bereaved family have the sympa-
thy of all in their sad hour of affiction.

How Shor:iin..

Recently there W. paced or the
bulletin board OF Wei r>,ey college a
list of rather surprising "drn'ts."
They are supposed Ia have been pre-
PACED by the SluAr ;'A. Wellesley. it.
may not be necessary ru explain. is in
Massachusetts and is Il college for
women. This makes TIN Irrforn nnce
all the more surprising. 1t would have
been bad enough for boys to have per-
petrated such cheStnuts and blase SEN
timents, but for %girlS-und in Massa-
chusetts-it is simply astounding.
Among the "don'ts" are the following:
Don't swear or use bad language, not
because we object to it. but because it
sounds bad.
Don't firt with the handsome fellow
down in the village. His wife may not
like it.
Don't retire with undrawn curtains.
The rubber industry is f%1ourishing in other
places than South America.
Don't chew candy or anything else while
on the village streets. If you must chew.
try the rag.
Don't believe the chap that tells you he
loves every hair on your head. He prob
ably means every one on your bureau.
Don't be a freak. The squirrels have
enough nuts to attend to now
Don't kiss each other in the public high
way. It's awful to see a woman doing q
mans work.
Don't study too hard. Folks may think
you are preparing to earn your own liy-
ing.
Don't show your dislike Of a hated in
structor. Give her some of your home
made fudge.
The others presumably We're worse
and We're mercifully omitted from the
press dispatches. Among some moral
maxims that should have been includ-
ed. but probably were not, are these:
Don't repeat Jokes that have seen better
days.
Don't use slang or. If you must use it, let
it be up to date.

funny.
Don't mistake near ~vulgarity for humor,
1t is hard to talk of a thing like this
l n temperate language. These young
women come from good homes and are
being prepared to become wives and
mothers and to take worthy positions

let US hope that this exhibition of bad
taste was only a schoolgirl prank, the
work of a practical joker.

Changed Views of the Dance.

views or n Dance.
The last twenty years have seen a
remarkable shifting Of positions with
regard to the dance. Within the mem
DRY of the middle aged there were
many communities in which public
opinion, as represented by the people
of the best standing, was almost
unanimously opposed to the institution
of "promiscuous dancing" by which
term "a meant any form of dancing
in which persons Of both sexes took
part. In those same communities, at
the same time, kissing games were in
| church sociables. OF course society
in the larger cities, even then, delight
ed in the dance, and the churches, with
some exceptions, countenanced if they
did not give their formal approval to
it so long as it was a purely social
function. But society and the church
alike frowned upon the public dance
hall as dangerous to the morals of the
vast majority of young city people
who are mot in society"
Now the church and society seem to
be on the verge of a reaction toward
the old idea Of the dance as danger
GUS in any stratum Of society unless it
Is subjected to a rigorous censorship.
The influence Of the dance hall is
felt in the Smart Set" which has
taken up the turkey trot.' the
"grizzly bear" and other dances Of low
origin. and a counter movement is on
foot to bar them from decent society,
If not to prohibit them in public
places.
At the same time it is significant
that in New York earnest men and
women philanthropists are striving to
establish public dance halls which
shall be conducted with decorum and
give to the poor an opportunity for
innocent recreation and that a Mil
waukee church has projected a dane
ing school to counteract the evil in
fuence of the places Of general resort.

The Way of the Arab.

A traveller in Egypt writes: "In a
camel caravan we N met in the
desert there vas a beast with a gigan-
tic Load Of cases towering above and
on both sides Of him. On the left flank
OF Ibis mountain Of cases rode a small
Arab slung in a sling. The reason
was obvious-the camel engineers had
m~1scalculated in loading and had put
too much on the off side, thus giving
the camel a heavy list to starboard.
Arab-like, being too lazy to repack,
they had corrected the error by using
a light Arab as trimming ballast"

The Left Handed brotherhood.

There has been organized in New
Jersey 1.-THE Excellent Order Of the
Knights and Ladies Of Ehud." the
same being a society Of left handlers
or ''southpaws." The clergyman who
promoted the organization modestly
said that all left handed people are
geniuses. We believe that red headed
people and those who have been oper-
ated on for appendicitis have also or
gained, although they did not claim
to be geniuses. There are societies of
fat men, likewise pegleg ~brotherhoods.
but there is no record that they boast
of mental superiority. The South
paws" however, assert that they are
original and different. Following this
logic to its bitter conclusion, it must
be that the man who loses his right
hand and is forced to use the left
%thereupon undergoes an intellectual
transformation.
The taking of the name Of Ehud
may mean something to Bible readers.
Of whom there are unfortunately too
few. The writer must admit that it
took some diligent hunting to locate
Ehud. He was a Judge Of Israel who
killed Eglon. the Moabite king that op-
pressed the land. On the pretense
that he had a message from the Lord
for Eglon, he showed a two edged dag
ger n cubit in length into the kings
abdomen. But all this is beside the
point. The important fact is that
Ehud was left handed. Presumably
he tented at giving the prophetic mes
sage with the right and drove the dag
| ger home with the left. According to
the modern Interpretation, it was a
stroke Of genius.
The claim of the organizer of THE
Excellent Order of Knights and Ladies
of Ehud" is that left handed people
have left handed mentalities. 1t is this
that gives them their intellectual class.
| But is it not a left handed compli-
ment?
If ambideXtrous persons are admit
ted to this new southpaw organiza-
ton it will probably be as associate
members.
