Daddy: sBedtime
c. Prince Hyacinth
OEOH " ---r And His
Wonderful Nose.

~ ELYN called Jack nosey because he had been prymg into her workbox
and scattering the needles and thread about Daddy said:
- Dear me-, what a name for a little girl to call her brother! Now,
If poor Jack had a lose like Prince Hyacinth such a name might fit
but with a little snub nose like his there is no excuse for It,"
"Who "a Prince Hyacinth?" Evelyn asked, hoping to change the subject
prince Hyacnth was the son of a king and queen who lived in the time Of
the fairies. He had a cry long nose and his mother would never allow any
one to tell him it was too long The little boys father died when he was a
small child. The reason he had such an odd nose We owing 70 his father hv-
ing offended a very powerful fairy.
$50 as the little boy grew up his noseb became longer and 10 er until people
who saw him for the first time could hardly help laughing. But they did not
dare laugh before the prince or the queen Or they would have ben punished.
"The court people got into the habit of telling the prince that his long nose
ceverer this person was likely to be.
"After awhile when the prince grew up, the queen, his mother, began to
look around for some nice princess whom he could marry. But the nice prn-
Hyacnth' as he a called. The queen was very angry that no oe should
cess in a PARKWAY land. When she wrote tot the young lady's parents they said
this ws really for the princess to decide and for the prince to come and make
them a visit and get acquainted with their daughter
1.-THE prince started out and he had to pass through many strange coun-
tries Sometimes rude people laughed at his nose, but the prince was 81 used
to hearing it praised that he did not believe there could be anything wrong.
Nov, when the prince himself should find out that his long nose vas not
nice the fairys enchantment N it would be broken and tn nose would shrink
and be a handsome, well formed nose just of common size
Well, when the prince reached the home of the poor and pretty princess
and the king and queen, her father and mother led her up to him he wa so
charmed with her that he stopped down to kiss her lovely white hand, but his
nose wa so long it got tin the way.
"Plague take the old nosev the prince mutered, and like a fash his long
nose was gone and a handsome short nose had taken its place. And then the
princess, of course, married him., and the queen, his mother, vas much de-
lighted"

"Home" and "A Career"

American Magazine: Nine. Louise
Homer sings on an average Of ten
times a month in the New York Met
rOpOlitan O~perahOuSe, where she has
for many years held place as leading
contraltO-wOrking hard and giving
time and energy to her art. Mrs. Sid
ney Homer, in her uptown New York
home, is an exceptionally Watchful
and devoted wife and mOther-person-
ally supervising the welfare and train
in Of her five children. This woman is
singularIy gifted in each capacity;
combining the two as she does, she
becomes truly exceptional.
The home life OF the Homers has
been ideally happy; one has but to
listen to the beautiful songs Sidney
Homer has composed and dedicated to
his wife in order to realize that. And,
apropos Of these sons, outside of Mr..
Homer and two celebrated profession
al pianists, Nine. Homer has found
that her daughter, Louise, can play
the difficult accomplishments very
creditably.
Louise is the baby who went along
on that first trip to Paris, but who
noW, grown to 16 years and herself
possessed of a lovely, promising mezzo
voice which is to be in training next
year, writes home from her school at
WestoVer that her ambition is to be
oDIC play IllC d WnGn
her mother sings her fathers songs in
public. How would that be for a de-
lightful combination?
Neither Mr.. nor Nine. Homer wish
to force or rye their children to study
music, but believe in helping them to
develop any talent they may have.
But Louise is not the only m%usically
talented one Of the Homer children.
Little Sidney, 10 years old, is showing
himself musical. He was only 4 years
old, a baby, when he sat through an
entire "Parsifal" performance, quietly
and enjoying it.
Katherine, the beautiful child with q
face like an old masters painting, and
Anne are 5-year-old twins and have
not yet a much opportunity to be-
tray their gifts; but little Anne, new
ertheleSs, is histrionic and energetic to
the degree that she frequently enter
tains her little sister in the nursery
with make believe operas - going
through the various parts, singing
gibberishly, Stimulating applauding,
taking curtain calls and explaining
whatever necessary.
Louise Homer's operate career has
had absolutely no effect Upon her
home life, say her friends. Homers'
is an oId-fashioned home in that it is
ruled over by love, and in that the
father and mother owe to share and
share alike their joys, SORROWS and re-
sponsibilities. A glimpse at it renews
faith and courage, for it proves that
an artist, if she is determined and
strong, can have both a home and a
career.

tended the littoraI a great many miles
at its delta. 1t is so high now that the
law Of gr~avitation will compel it to run
down hill, and because of less resist
ance it viii find it's way to salt water by
a shorter route. 1t may be that this
will destroy the Mississippi river and
the jetties during periods of low water,
but that is a negligible question. New
Orleans need not suffer because a ship
n can be opened up from B%arataria
bay, which will give her access to deep
water. This work can be done at a
relatively small expense; but if New
Orleans a to be wiped off the mar
altogether 1T would matter little in
comparison to the saving Of the i'm
mense properties throughout the Mis-
sissippi valley.
There is likely to be very much con-
tributed to the discussion of flood con-
troll Of an educational character, and
when the American people once under
stand the question thoroughly they will
not fail in finding a remedy for exist
ing evil.

DRASTIC FLOOD REMEDY.

Unusually heavy damage to property
and life this spring has brought more
than the ordinary discussion of meth
DDS Of prevention. In Ohio and Indi-
ana, where floods of even moderate
size are rare, there are calls for gov
ernmental aid in the building Of reser-
Voirs or the deepening of channels.
In the Mississippi river territory the
flood is an annual event. Years ago a
large part Of the stretch between Cairo
and New Orleans was unprotected, the
overflow strip along each side Of the
river being either ~untenanted or with
q few shacks which could be abandoned
without serious loss. Later on a sys-
tenn of levees was built all the way
along both sides of the river where
needed, and in the height and strength
of these entertainments the people put
their trust. AS a result Of this protec-
ton large areas were reclaimed for
cultivation. .,
But when extraordinary strain is
placed on these levees as in the last few
weeks, the earthworks give way in nu-
merouS places, to the destruction of
property in it's path, though to the adj
vantages of the region above, where
the stage Of the water is lowered.
So acute has the situation become
that The Memphis News Scimitar
calmly discusses and evidently favors
a plan which it admits may wipe
New Orleans off the map in a
cial sense by so dividing the Missis-
sippi river that the crescent city would
be deprived Of a deep sea connection.
The scheme as advanced by a cores
pendent is to dredge from a point six
ty miles south of Natchez to the At
chafa1aya bay, via Morgan City, thus
splitting the Mississippi and shorten
ing the distance to salt water by IFS
miles.
Commenting on this proposition The
News-Scimitar says:
The Mississippi river is running
along a hogs back, as all rivers do in
time that flow through alluviai soil,
ana it has deposited its burden and ex-

over go. This showing is not as good
as the railroads have been making for
the past few months. The percentage
of gain in net should be at least equal
to the percentage of gain in gross
earnings. Some bad weather in Febru-
airy, coupled with increased operating
expenses which for February exceed
ed last years expenses by $1S, 10000 600,
were the prime causes Of the small
gain in net. In spite of the somewhat
u~nfavorable showing. in net, there is
a hopeful note in the fact that both
gross and net earnings for February
were the largest eve reported for
hat month.
Coke shipments are again approach
ing normal, the last weekly report
showing production of $4,000 tons and
shipments of $4,000. The average Of
weekly shipments for the first quarter
Of the year was 100000 tons. More

late in any previous year except

For the month of March our mer-
chandise exports amounted to $751;
900, 900 as against $205, 000, 900 for
March, 1912. Our imports aggregated
$155, 600, 900 compared with $157,OOO,-
QUO Tor MaTCQ laSL year. ouT ldFof-
able balance Of trade for March was
1872, 900, 900 and for March 1912 was
$48, 900, 900. The falling off of imports
is accounted for by the waiting mood
Of importers who are looking for tariff
reductions. Some of the decrease in
exports is traceable to floods and
storms which caused many heavy
manufacturing plants to temporarily
suspend operations.
Our exports of gold exceeded our
imports by nearly $14, 900, 900 in March
while in March 1912. HI gold move
ment was only $4,000 600 against us.
This outflow of gold has caused some
uneasiness but the only real effect
which has been or will be felt from
it is increased interest rates. So long
as Europe owns American securities,
there will be an outflow Of gold in
payment Of interest and dividends and
the balance of merchandise trade in
our favor must be large enough to
offset these payments. In spite Of the
outflow of gold, the banks have been
able to maintain their legal reserves
il the face of unusually heavy BUSH
ness operations which have given con-
slant employment to the available
supply of money.

HOW TO DESTROY
THE DANDRUFF GERM
BY A SPECIALIST.

That the dandruff germ is RESPONSE
Bile for nearly all the diseases to which
the scalp is heir, as well as for bald
ness and premature gray hair, is a
we'll known fact, but when we realize
that it is also indirectly responsible
for many of the worst cases OF ca
tarrh and consumption, we appreciate
the Importance of any agent that will
destroy it's power. We are, therefore,
particularly pleased to give herewith
the prescription which. an eminent sci
enlist states he has found, after re-
peated tests, to completely destroy the
dandruff germ in from one to three ap-
plications. 1t will also almost imme-
diately stop falling hair and it has
in numerous cases produced a new
ha~ir-growth after years of badness.
This prescription can be made up at
home, or any druggist will put it up
for you: 6 ounces Bay Rum, 2 ounces
Lavona de Compose, one-half drachm
Menthol Crystals. Mix thoroughly, and
after standing half an hour it is ready
for use. Apply night and morning, rub
bling into the scalp with the flnger-tips.
If you wish it perfumed, add half a
~teaspoonful of To-Kalon Perfume,
which unites perfectly with the other
ingredients. While this preparation
is not a dye, it is ~unequalled for re-
storing gray hair to it's original color.

THURSDAY, MAY I, 1913.
EAReo,s NEW COMMISSION.

The Forum believes that the city OF
Fargo is to be congratulated on the
commission that was named yesterday
by the voters. The commissioner is
composed Of men who have all made
good" in a business way and can
be depended on to give the city a
splendid business administration.
Under the commission that was
named yesterday Fargo will also be
run along clean moral lines.
The election yesterday undoubtedly
proved a very great disappointment to
some people, and as much of a sur
prise to others. In an election in which
there was such a big field from which
to make a selection there could not
help but be bitter disappointment for
a great many.
The president of the new commits
sion, H. F. Emery, had the remarkable
n of being named by reclamation.
Mr.. Emery is one Of the city's best
known business men and no better Sc
lection could have been made.
Joseph Ames, who had the honor
of being given the high vote for COM
missioner, has made a marked success
Of all his business ventures, is q man
Of high moral integrity and will prove
a capable mar as head Of whatever
department he is named to take charge
Of.
Alex Stern received only four votes
less than Mr.. Ames, the high man..
The Forum believes that Mr.. Stern
will prove to be II of the most valu-
able men on the commission. 1t is
rumored that he will be placed in
charge of the department Of finance,
an office for which he is fitted by long
years of experience. With two such
men as Mr.. Emery and Mr.. Stern, both
of whom have made a special study
of finance, and with the cooperation
and assistance of the other commits
sioners, all of whom have had years of
experience in business lines, Fargo's
tangled financial web should be quick
ly Strengthened out.
J. J. Jordan, the we'll known editor
and receiver of the United States land
Office, will also add materially to the
strength of the commission. He re-
ceived only % votes from the high
man. Jordan has proved to be a cap
able and efficient officer in the years
he has been in the local United States
landofice, has made a financial suc-
cess of all his business undertakings
and The Forum believes no wiser
choice could have been made.
r. B. Blakemore has always stood
for progressive, up-to-date methods in
government. He is a mar of excep-
tional business ability, and will add
greatly to the strength and efficiency
Of the new commission.
These men have been placed in
charge of the city government, and
they should be given an opportunity to
work out their own ideas unhampered,
and with free hands. 1t is reported
that petitions are already being circu-
lated in favor or certain candidates
for appointment. Every one Of the
men named OH this commission has
long been a resident Of Fargo. and
they should know the city and it's peo-
pie we'll enough to make their own
selections for the appointive Offices.
They know with whom they can work
to the best advantage and should be
left free to name the men they want.

PRACTICAL

1t was said that the Erdman act was
not practical legislation, and yet an
other grave issue has been settled
through the medium Of it, the firemen
on the eastern railroads being award
ed more favorable working conditions,
as we'll as wage increases averaging
between 10 and II per cent, and the
public being relieved Of all possibility
of a disastrous strike.
What makes the Erdman act effec-
tive is the tremendous power of pub
lie sentiment behind it. All that such
legislation proposes is that these mat
tiers over which capital and labor can
not agree between themselves. should
be adjusted through q board Of arbi-
tration. 1t is only in extraordinary
cases that such an adjustment cannot
be made, and on reasonable grounds
without fear or favor one way or the
other.
That is as it should be. In this in
stance the tiremen demanded an in
crease OF wages which would amount
approximately to 81, 900. 900. The
award Of the commission cuts his sum
down to between $500, 900 and 81
100000. The engineers wage question
was settled last year in the same way,
1t is a happy arrangement all around.
The employees gain better terms, the
employers save the expense Of a strike
that might result to their further dis
advantage, and the public is spared tie
effects of a struggle that would hit
peace and prosperity a solar pleXus
blow.
Would that all laws were as prac-
teal and beneflcient as the lIrdman
act!
