THE UNCOMMERCTAL,
ARTIST
BY Berton Braley.

He owes his landlord for the rent
His laundress for the wash,
But his artistic temperament"
Takes debt as but josh;
He owes his tailor for his clothes
But, hand upon his heart,
He'll tell you how he simply
1oathes
This Cheap, commercial art"
His highbrow paintings do not
sell,
His low brow sketches do,
The artist knows this very we'll
But to his Art he's true.
And though his laundress want
for bread,
His landlord want for pay,
The high art bug is in his head
And will not go away.
I'm wrong; maybe, as l suppose
l very often am.
But | believe this high art pose
Is pretty much a sham.
He'd better far be painting floors
Or doing fashion stuff"
Than playing on his creditors
This art for arts sake" bluff.

knew how precious the tree was,
but that day he Forgot"
His father was very angry and
asked who had cut down the
tree. George spoke up bravely
and said, 81 did it, father You
see he was not a coward, afraid
to tell the truth. He would not
let someone else be blamed for
the wrong he had done.
Another time, when he was a
big boy, after his father died, he
rode a valuable young colt with
out permission. The colt was too
young to- ride and reared and
struggled so in his fright that he
dropped dead. George knew
that he had done wrong, but he
confessed the truth manfully.
The boy Washington was al
ways loving and obedient to his
mother. When he was 10 he
wanted to go to sea to be sailor.
At first his mother consented, but
when the time came for him to
go she could not bear to have him
leave her.
So he stayed at home with his
mother, although he was terribly
disappointed that he,could not be
a sailor.

GETS A HANDSOME EN-
DORSEMENT FROM N.
ID. VOTERS
Easily Leads Roosevelt and
Taft and Secures Eight
Delegates to Nat.
Convention


, The people of North Dakota show
ed their true colors Tuesday in the first
Presidential preferential primary held
in the United States naming r obert
M. LaFollette of Wisconsin as their
choice for the head Of the Republi-
can ticket. North Dakota will send
eight delegates to the Chicago con-
vention instructed for LaFollette.
Roosevelt made hard fight for the
delegates but was defeated in almost
every precinct. The vote for Taft
was insignificant.
For some time managers for the
three candidates have been in North
Dakota putting up hard fight to
secure the delegates. The vote in
North Dakota will give the Progress
sives more encouragement and it would
not be surprising if the Wisconsin
Senator would carry many of the
states in which the preferential pri-
maries are held.

CINE is Badly Damaged

A serious wreck took place yester-
day afternoon just below the box
factory in this city when an extra
which was acking up into the city
crashed into the switch engine (which
was standing on the track. The
brakeman in charge of the extra and
the engineer and fireman on the
engine saved themselves from injury
by jumping just before the crash oc-
cured.
The wreck took place on the curve
coming into the city. A heavy mo-
gul engine was backing up the ca
boose and FIVE empties and was COM
ing down the grade running at a
good rate of speed. The brakeman
did not notice the switch engine un-
til they were almost upon it. He
then claimed that he had only time
to give the alarm to his companions
and make an attempt to give a signal
to the engineer and then Jump to

Was Largely Attended

The st. Louis Hall OF the Catholic
parish was crowded to the Doors
Saturday evening for st. Patrick S
celebration. Supper was served to
some two hundred and fifty people
and was followed by very interest
ing program at $50. The tot al re-
ceipts were $112, On Sunday after
noon the program was repeated for
children and again the hall was
packed to overflowing. 1t is becom-
ing more and more evident that the
St. Louis Hall is altogether too
small to accommodate the I throngs
that frequently gather there for en-
tertainments or for other social en-
joyments, so very probably the
June closing exercises os the Paro
chial school will take place in the
opera house..
The program rendered contained
twenty numbers out laSteu Only an
hour and half owing to that pre-
cision and nicely characteristic OF
all work undertaken by the Francis
can Sisters.
Several music pupils of Sister
Carmel, also others not from the
schoo, contributed their talent to-
ward the program. A feature was
