The Fargo w. c. T. U. met yester-
day afternoon at the Florence Critten-
ton home, Miss Felthammer receiving
the ladies in the absence of Miss Top
ping. There was a good attendance
and roll call vas responded to with
character sketches, Mrs. Clapp reading
an excellent one of the life Of Nell
Dow. There were several new mem
bers taken into the union and then rst
of the series of "silver" parties was
announced to be held at the HON OF
Mrs. J. A. Murray this afternoon. The
formal programme was then taken up
and Mrs. Hatcher gave.a very compre-
hensive sketch of the life and work
of Mrs. Carrie A. Nation. She began
by recalling the recent visit Of Mrs.
Nation to Fargo, when h spoke In
the Presbyterian church and the Y. M.
g. Al, to large and sympathetic audi
ences, and continued telling OF her Hfe.
which was one of constant battle for
her principles. Mrs. Nations life is
especially interesting because she was
q distinct personality. Mrs. Hatcher
told Of her early surroundings, now
she had been raised almost entirely ny
her negro nanny n consequently
acquired many of the negro snperstl-
tons, which she retained. She was
married unhappily to a DR.. Cover, who
died a short time after their marriage
leaving his young wife with am infant
daughter, who at the time of Mrs. Ma
tons visit in Fargo was being sup
ported at a sanitarium. She later q
ried Mr.. Nation, and on account o.
their lack of sympathy and dissimilar-
ity of belief they were divorced aftei
q short married life. It seems that
there never was a time in the life o.

The NATIONAL
DEMS. DELEGATES
TEN MEN LEAD IN RETURNS
FROM TWENTY EIGHT OF THE
FoRTY.NlNE COUNTIES TWO
OTHERS ARE CLOSE UP AND
MAY WIN.

The foregoing appear to be the sue
cessful candidates for national demo-
cratic candidates.
Returns are very incomplete but in
twenty-eight counties out of the forty
nine these ten lead. Boeing and Con-
my are the eleventh and twelfth. OF
course more complete returns may
throw out the last two or three or
materially change the leadership, but
the most available figures o~btainabIe
by The Forum showed the ten men at
the head of this article were ahead.
There were seventeen candidates for
the ten positions OF national delegates.
The race was a good natured one. All
the candidates were pledged first to
Burke, then after a complimentary
vote they were pledged to woodrow
Wilson. With no fight on as to presi-
Dental candidates it resolved itself
merely into a matter of personal pref
erence for delegates.
All other features Of the primary
campaign have been decided and the
national democratic delegates is g
ly the hangover.

THE J. DAVIS HARDWAR]

Iy crust of bread into his pocket he
crept out again.
From where he stood he could see
the interior of the dimly lighted room
beyond, and curiosity arose within
him. With the tread of a prowling
fox he stepped to the threshold and
peered around the corner. The boy
was sleeping now, while beside the
bed the woman was sitting with head
dropped forward as worn out from
her long vigil she mad fallen asleep in
the midst of her watching. And as
he gazed at their tired faces there
came to Jim picture of many long
years before, picture of when he
had been a boy and sick as this one
now was, when a woman had sat be-
side him the long nights through CIV
ing him his medicine and ministering
to him as she read-what was it she
had read? Yes, he remembered now.
"More blessed to give than to re-
ceive." That was it. He had never
had great deal Of confidence in
these words and had never tried them
out still he had sometimes thought
that one day he would put them to
the test. But he had never had enough
for himself, let alone others, while

coming down in hard, frozen particles
like sifted sands. Across the fields
the wind came nipping like a sharp
toothed terrier, and Hobo Jim glanced
anxiously about through the gloom.
He had been released from the coop"
only that day after two months of con-
finement for having been caught with
dead turkey in his possession, and
he shivered bit beneath his thin
clothes as he hurried along the lone
road. to mako matters worse he was
hungry. broke and friendless, and to
be hungry, broke and friendless upon
Christmas eve In hard enough luck
for any man. Then as he peered, he
saw through the darkness OF the road
side a glimmer of light that twinkled
before his eyes like great star of
hope and he paused with his gaze fast
ened wistfully upon 1t.
With Il caution grown Of long ex-
perience he passed quietly to the back
OF the building and peered through a
window. He could see into the dining
room from here, and as he gazed and

feet of him was table piled high with
good things to eat, while about 1t the

There is enough left for q dozen

away" he muttered as his eyes roved
over the board. Much encouraged by
the sight he stretched forth his
knuckles In timid tap, then putting
on his most woebegone face stood
awaiting his fate with heart that
fiuttered anxiously.
The door opened and man stood
before 1t peering into the darkness.
And as the lamp light from within fell
upon the hobo's cringing form, the
face of the one upon the threshold
darkened until II matched the night.

planning to the sufferer, telling him
that she feared that this year Santa
Claus would pass him by without
stopping. But the boy was unbeliev-
ing.
Santa Claus does not forget.
Hang up my stocking, please" he
told her, and Jim heard her sigh as
she crossed the room to obey him.
Then as the warmth of the house
came stealing softly over him Jim's
eyelids futtered and closed, the last
thing he remembered hearing being
the woman's voice as it began read
ing to the sick one.
More blessed to give than to re-
ceive-" But Hobo Jim was now
sleeping
He was awakened and raised his
head a trifle as he listened. There
had been an accident In the room,
serious accident as he soon gathered,
for through some misfortune the
clock had been knocked from the
mantle and now lay ruin upon the
floor. 1t was the only timepiece they
had, and the woman was worrying
over it considerably, for she no long
er had the means of telling when it
was time to give the boy his medi-
cine, and the proper administration
of the medicine was very important
matter to the sick one. That's kind
of tough on the kid" thought the
hobo from his hiding place. But 1t
was no fault of his and anyway he
had troubles enough Of his own.
Midnight came, and for the last
hour all had been still as cavern.
Cautiously, silently, Jim backed out of
his lair and rising to his feet stood
alert. BY the dim light from the 9TH
or room he could see the pantry.
Then he gave snort of disappoint-
ment. There was not enough upon
the barren shelves to fill one corner
of his hollow stomach, and here were
woman and sick boy to feed of OF
IT. II was disgusting. Slipping mere.

--0@ came CREEPING over mis- F--.
They certainly were in tough luck,
tougher luck than he was in himself,
and the smashing of the clock had
been bad business. For a full min
ute he stood blinking at them, then
for the second time that night he
chuckled as his hand wandered into
his one good pocket. Then he with
drew it, and stretching forth a long
arm slid the big silver watch into
the hanging stocking.
Along the black road Jim went
hurrying, hunger gnawing at his stom-
ach, the teeth of the wind sharper
than ever. In one hand he held the
crust of bread and now and then he
bit at it savagely. More blessed to
give than to receive" He laughed as
he buttoned his coat around his throat
and bent further forward against the
gale.
II dunno-I dunno, but anyway I've
tried 1T out at last. Only thing I'm
sorry for is that won't see that sick
kids face when he finds that old
ticker in the morning."

er than ever. In the bottom of a pock-
ct where he had plunged a hand for
warmth his big, old-fashioned watch
lay ticking and his fingers closed
about it fondly. It was his only pos,
session of slightest value. Twenty
years ago it had been given to him
upon a Christmas eve-twenty years
ago in the days of his boyhood, and
he had carried it with him necessarily
throughout all his wanderings. 81 sup

and bed from that old ticker" he
unused, then his jaw set. "But I
wouldn't part with 1t for its weight in
greenbacks. 1t is the last thing she
if hang for doing it. I'll beg, starve
yes. or help myself when nobody is
looking before I'll part with it," He
showed 1t deeper into its place and
bent forward against the wind.
Five minutes later he again paused
suddenly. BY the wayside another
light was shining, and with a quick
glance up and down the road he stood
listening. Nothing came to his ears
but the low growl of the wind and he
hesitated no longer. Sneaking into
the yard with feet that fell as softly
as the snowflakes themselves he once
more peered through a window. There
was no laden table here, but instead
he saw bed upon which lay a white
faced boy with woman close beside
him. He put his ear to the pane and
listened. 1t was not long before he
learned that the two were alone
in the house, and at that good news
Hobo Jim smiled approvingly.
He passed quickly to the kitchen
door and tried the latch. The door
was not locked and he entered with
the stealth of panther. A spare bed
room with door ajar was adjoining,
and forming his plans as he sneaked
along Jim crept within. Here, in the
darkness, he would hide beneath the
bed, wait until all was still, and then
in the early morning hours fill his
stomach and pockets from the pantry
and silently steal away. Instinct told
him that the woman would sleep be-
side the sick boy and he had little
fear of being discovered. And what II
he was-with lone woman and a
helpless kid as his only bar to escape!
Noiselessly he crept beneath his
shelter and lay listening.
Through the stiffness their voices
came to him in murmurs. 1t had been
bad year for the two in the next
room, year of privation and want,
and the morrow would be the hollow
est mockery of any Christmas that
had ever come to them; day when
a skeleton would preside at their
board and hunger be an unwilled
guest. Patiently the woman was ex-

From out of the long grass that

and hungry, and stood looking at the
still kicking victim. Then he drew
a huge, old-fashioned silver watch
