ALWAYS A CELEBRITY.
Nobody Recalls That in a Previous
Incarnation He Was Humble.


DR.. Julia Sears, head OF the New
Thought School, says: There are
enough people on the planet today who
remember one or more of their incarna-
lions to make II a certainty that reincar-
nation is a positive fact"
All right. doctor: we'll add this to our
list of positive facts. which is already be-
coming somewhat unwieldy. Still. there
is a question which has been puzzling US
a good while. and we now make bold to
ask: Why is it that, among all those peo-
pie who remember one or more Of their
incarnations, not one can remember be-
ing hod carrier. an undertaker's assist
ant or an office boy in a soap factory
There is a strong tendency to run toward
royal families, court musicians and PHI
losophers. Two or three persons can dis
tinctly remember having been Joan OF
Arc. and the number of reincarnated Ma
poieans and Louis XIVs is growing all
the time. But the man we are anxious to
meet is the chap who can remember with
pleasure his incarnation as the brawny
white wings who pushed the scoop
around the arena of the Roman Coliseum
after the show was over and the animals
retired, or the employe Of the imperial
health department whose duty 1t was to
descend into the Cloaca Maxima when 1t
got clogged
Another New Thought which comes at
this moment is in connection with the
statement of DR.. Sears that she was the
Italian singer Marsha four hundred years
ago, was bitterly discontinued, and now
she longs to sing and cannot. There's
matter for rumination In this. We shall
hurry away now to tell the young woman
in the apartment adjoining ours that the
reason she longs to sing. or thinks she
can sing, and cannot, is because she had
sweet pipe several hundred years ago
and didn't make the most OF II.

Remarkable discoveries, throwing con-

Y Bedford STANDARD

From the New Bedford Standard.
Not many Of the mill girls of the SOs
and 4Os became DISTINGUISHED in the lit
erary world. as Mrs. Robinson did, but
there were scores Of them who made their
lives blessings to the world. Some OF
them earned the money with which to
educate themselves according to the ways
Of their own times: some of them earned
the money to assist in educating their
brothers; some OF them earned the money
to help the last years OF the old folks.
Many of them married the doctors and
the lawyers and the clergymen and the
successful business men Of their localities
and became influential in the circles
which they afterward graced and hon
ored. They came into the new industry
from the farms Of Now England ana
they went out from It into every part OF
the country, educated and broadened. to
be good wives and mothers and to be
pioneers in many good words and works.
More than one greatly successful man
of this generation looks back into the line
of his ancestry to find a New England
mill girl who was q wonderful factor In
making his life what it is.

Government Crop Report
Shows This State Has The
Best Percentage

North Dakota wheat prospects, at
the present time, are rated at nine
ty-two per cent by the government in
the crop report. The showing is un.
usually good, in view Of the fact that
the average for ten years, at this time
of the year, has been eighty per cent.
Not only is the North Dakota per-
centage high, as compared with its
own past record, but it is also higher
than the percentage held by either
Minnesota or South Dakota. Mime
sofa is rated at eighty-nine, while
South Dakota is rated at eighty-three.
The ten-year record for Minnesota is
eighty-six, while the ten-year record
for South Dakota is eighty-three.
North Dakota oats also are rated
high, being ninety.one per cent, with
Minnesota scheduled at the same fig
ure. The ten-year record for North
Dakota, at this time, is eighty-six,
while Minnesota leads by one point.
South Dakota is rated at eighty-five
per cent, which is one point higher
than the average.
The showing by this state, as COM

WASHINGTON, July 11.-Great

likely to have little effect in delay.
ing the passage Of the canal bill, &C.

Senate 1t is declared there will be

from the position in favor of the free
passage of American ships.
While reasons for the request for
delay are not stated, there is no doubt
that the British government is con.
cerned in clause to grant free pass
age through the canal to American
vessels in coastwise trade, and that
which relates to the passage of rail-
road owned ships of Canadian rail-
ways. and 1t is thought some of the
representations are to be made in
their behalf. The canal bill has been
regarded as extremely urgent, and
England's note blocks the program for
it's expedition. Innes has been in
formed Of this and 1t is hoped this
will have the effect of Fastening the

COST Of LIVING and

Grave Matter That IS Nov
Being Discussed Il Na.

'
Bismarck Tribune WashiDgton Bureau.
Z WASHINGTON June 11.-All talk
about the high cost Of living is being
knocked into smithereens by the chat
that is going the rounds Of the Ma
tional Capital about the high cost Of
dying. It's grave matter anyhow;
but the undertakers and liver-stable
keepers want the living public to re-
cognize the seriousness of their situa-
tion, and urge that there's no joke in
it," Joke or no joke, however, they
are about to put their steam roller
at work, not to hatten out prices, but
to do that trick with the purses or
the pocket-bo0ks Of those who are so
unfortunate as to have to call In their
grewsome services.
The Washington undertakers now
assert that whilst the cost Of living
has gone up, 50, too, must the cost
of being carried to the grave. At
present, liverymen charge $4 for q
hearse for q funeral in the city, and
So for funeral at Arlington, or at
other nearby suburban cemeteries.
For carriages for funerals in the city
"a each is the regular charge, S. be-
ing the cost Of those going to the su-
burbs. The undertakers now say that
they will add another dollar to the
hearse hire and also for each and
every carriage. Hay for horses now
costs $50 a ton and oats from Toe
upwards bushel; other foods for
their animals have also mounted pari
passu, until, say those grim jokers, q
horse costs nearly It's weight in gold
to keep.

Lewis Mundt Of Devils Lake, in a
timely address, heartily complimented
President Bruegger for his painstak-
ing and conscientious efforts in behalf
of the interests of the State Retail
Dealers Association during the past
year. That Mr.. Mundt voiced the
sentiment of the entire organization
was very evident from the hearty ap-
plause with which his remarks were
greetea.
The law relating to transient mer-
chants was up for discussion and
many of those present expressed their
views upon the subject. The transi-
ent merchant law has been found con-
stitutional in all lower courts, and the
merchants association will make an
effort to bring one Of its cases before
the supreme court for final decision
One phase of the law which is OF
special interest in North Dakota, is
that relating to farmers who sell
merchandise from box cars, or who
even rent stores for the purpose OF
disposing Of merchandise or produce.
It has been disclosed that acts Of this
nature are fragrant violation OF the
transient merchants law, and they
have been dealt with accordingly, The
farmer may bring his produce into
town and sell 1t but he cannot load
his goods into box car and sell them
without violating the law.
