AnabiIfty.

Anability is a real ornament the most beau
uful dress that woman can wear and
worth far more of winning favor
than the finest clothes and Jewels ever were.
The exercise OF anability creates an instan-
taneous impression in your behalf. while the
opposite quality excites quick a prejudice
against you. So true Is this that were we asked
TO name any one quality which, aside from
mere mental powers contributed largely to sue
cess, we would mention affabtty
1t Is good to meet in friendly intercourse
and pour out that social cheer which SO WHITES
the weary and Responding heart. Give to all
the hearty grasp and the sunny smile They
send sunshine to the soul, and make the heart
leap as with new life and JOY. Thus may we
become brothers In every good word and deed
and peace and goodwill spread IN the world.
We long for friendly intercourse and when
deprived of the society of others Pine and
grow sick at heart, we become msanthropc
and gloomy. The summer of the heart changes
to dreary winter, and our lives seem overcast
and gloomy.
In urging affabty do not ignore the fact
that there many to be found in every walk
OF life with whom the less one has to do the
better that you would think of taking
"a serpent into the bosom of your family as some
people who infest society But this lamentabis
fact does not lesson the claims Of affability

applies only to workmen. Whether this de-

About the most futile thing man attempts
is to dictate to woman what she shall wear and
what she shall no twear. Mayor Carter Har-
rison should have known this when he issued
his edict forbddng the wearing of long
horizontal pnmes on ladies' hats in street cars.
Even aside from this his lordly command is
superfuous. The horizontal feather nuisance,
and 1t is nuisance will cure itself regardless
of his interference. For long time city coun-
cimen stormed and passed ordinances, and "Old
Subscriber and Constant Reader" delivered
TRADES In the newspapers, against the long hat
pin. The women merely turned up their
pretty noses and kept right wearing them.
Finally, when the men had subsidized in wrath
full mpotency. they said they knew all along
those pins were dangerous and then they dis
carded them of their own sweet will.--Cleve-

are looking for a way to save their hides from

The steady advance of Villa, and the steady
OBJECTIONS of Huerta commanders prove that
President Wilson has proceeded wisely in his
campaign of elimination. With the assistance
OF Europe he has shut the dictator off from
the cash supply and without cash a dictator in
Mexico or elsewhere can not last long. 1t is

,uRc0UN1ED YEARS OLD
Fossil Animals and Plants of the
Early World Constitute the
ceoIogist Key.

The work of the United States
Geological Survey in paleontology--
the study of fossil remains of an
imals and plants that lived ages ago
has a distinct bearing on some
of the very practical economic pro-
bems of to-day.
The descriptive paleontologic re-
ports are often treated as pure
SCIENCE" yet instructive, striking,
or tedious as may be these delinea-
tons of the groups Of animal or plant
life which lived on the globe in some
particular epoch, there is not one of
these papers describing the fauna or
flora of a formation that does not
prove sooner or later to possess
practical VaueEand to be essential to
geology in its constantly increasing
refinement of study and results.
Without paleontology the geologic
classification. of formations. their
correlation, and the determination of
their mutual relations would be i'm
possible. In fact, real and symmet-
rical-progress in geology is impossible
without corresponding inter-related
development and refinement of its
hanimaid paleontology. The study
of the economic geology of any re-
gion of complicated structure is blind
and inconsequent unless the time
relations of the strata concerned are
known. These relations are indicat-
ed by the fossils which the strata
contain. (From Thirty-third An
nual Report Director U. S. Geological

4He Was Good To His Mother

How many of the young men
who read this column could truthfully
have the above said of them? An
exchange tells Of a group of young
men who were speaking of a man
who lay without hope at the point
Of death. They spoke Of certain
excellent quality possessed by him
and passed lightly over any weak
neses he may have displayed.
When one said, ''He has always
been good to his mother" all spoke
at once in approval. The rest Of it
became minor. The supreme test
had been passed. He had beer
unusually good to his mother and
the verdict covered his other weak
nesses like mantle and overshaded
all else. that had been said in
condemnation. He was extremely
good to his mother,
If charity covers multitude of
sins so does the love and obedience
of a man for his mother. There ara
no virtues more highly applauded
by grown men and women. And
yet they are not uncommon.
Reverence for holy things is not
uncommon and one of the holiest on
earthorin heaven is a mans moth
er.
Accomplishment Of great deeds is
not necessary for splendid epitaph.
He was good to his ''mother. (" is
afinet tribute to dead mans worth
lthan was ever craven on the saoophs-
q Of conpuering kings.

ROAD DRAGGING.
LAW IN MISSOURI
is BELIEVED TO BE A GOOD
ONE FOR BUILDING UP
COUNTRY ROADS.

A new road law enacted by the
recent Missouri legislature THAT
applies to every county in Missou-
ri is what is designated as the
County Seat Road Dragging
sions of which afe to have all
public roads connecting the county
seat towns of all adjoining coun-
ties improved by a regular SYSTEM
attic plan Of road dragging.
The headquarters of the North
Dakota Divisions Of the Meridian
Road calls attention to this law,
which provides for the appointment
of a county highway board by
the county court, to, consist of
three members, Of which the
county highway engineer is one,
who hold their positions for two
years and serve without compen-
sation. This board, acting with
the state highway engineer, is
authorized and required to select
1.-THE most practical road from the
county seat to the county seats of
each adjoining county" After
these particular routes, which are
to be designated as county seat
roads, have been selected the
state highway engineer certiies
to the state auditor the number
of miles of such highway in each
county. The county highway
board contracts to have such
roads dragged under certain pre-
scribed regulations at a cost per
mile per year. of not to exceed SIS

state good roads fund, and all
claims under these contracts are
audited jointly by the state high
way engineer and the county high

auditor for payment, and these
payments to the several counties

ton thereof. In other words, it
is direct free donation from the
state road fund to several counties.

BODY ] FOUND ON
MISSOURI RIVER
NUDE CORPSE WITH BULLET
WOUND IN CHEST DISCOV-
Erred NEAR BISMARCK.

Bismack, N. D., July 1.-THE
body of a nude man was found on
the shore of the Missouri river
about 35 miles south of Bismarck,
by a stage mail driver coming to
Bismarck. The coroner at Linton
was notified and he had the body
buried this evening in the ceme-
terry near where it was found.
The body was devoid of all cloth
ing, and could not be Identified
1t had a bullet hole in the chest
and the man had evidently been
killed before being thrown into
the river, and had bees in the wat
er about ten days.
He was about 60 years of age
and Weighed about $50 pounds.
1t was% a first thought it might
have been the body of Brakemas
Rutherford, who disappeared
from a. freight train while cross
ing the river, between Bismarck
and Mandan in April, but this
man was too old for him.. 1t is
thought now it might possibly be

MUST GET NEW
MARRIAGE LICENSES
MARRIAGE LICENSES ISSUED
IN JUNE ARE NOT GOOD
ss. FOR JULY MARRIAGES.

Fargo, July 17.-Judge Hanson
OF the county court desires to call
the attention of ministers and 9TH
ers who perform marriages that
there is a phase of the new mar
riage law, which went into effect
July !, that is very important to
all Interested.
During June good many mar
riage licenses were issued and of
course under the law in effect at
that time. Many of the licenses
were 3 used that month, but many
of them were not used and accord
Ing to Judge Hanson's ruling they
cannot be used in July, for the
reason that there has been no ex-
animation pursuant to the provi-
sions of the new law, and holders
of licenses issued in June must pro-
cure licenses issued in July In or
der ito make the marriage legal
and competent to be properly rec
orded according to law. It is un-,
derstood trat some June licenses
have been presented to ministers
since July ! for the performance Of
the ceremony and have been return

CREO|T TO NELSON
INSTEAD OF BANGS
NOT WILLING TO GIVE BANGS
CREDIT FOR CLEARING
ANDERSON,

Washburn Leader: Tracy Bangs
is generally credited with clearing
Walfred Anderson Of tho charge of
numbering Banker Funk. We are
Of the opinion that J. e. Nelson
had more to do with that than
Mr.. Bangs did. Mr.. Bangs may
have planned the work which Mel
son did that cleared Anderson.
The old saying that nothing Is
settled until it is settled right,
is true of the Anderson trial at
Washburn. 1t appears that the
trial of Anderson TOT the murder
of Funk was a good deal OF
farce. 1t is claimed that, there
is a lot Of perjured testimony
and suppressed testimony. How
true these claims are we do not
know. But it Is certain that Wash
burn practically unitedly believes
that Anderson killed Funk. Al
ready one star witness for the
defense has been arrested for per-
jury and Is now lying in jail
because he cannot raise $4,000
bail. Anderson offered $4,000 cash
bail which he refused to accept
but If he gets out he will have
to accept. There Is an insistent
demand for a grand jury and the
end is not yet.
