THE INFANT YEAR.

Like smile upon the face of Time
Comes forth the infant year.
With possibilities in store
That make the Nations fear;
Keen Progress guides its toddling
steps
And bids it HE away,
TO mount the hill Of Enterprise
And seek the brighter day
Grave Science marches in the van
With concentrated frown
And bids the infant help her weave
For sons of men a crown;
Prosperity is beckoning
With smile upon her face,
And knowledge spreads her arms
awide
With all-inyiting grace.
The Daily Press sends Mercury
To bind and hold the earth
IN telegraphic leading strings;
And tragedy or mirth
To gather, day and night the same,
That they may give to men
The happenings that have their birth
Throughout all human ken.
The mammoth ships sail far and wide
And Commerce holds the helm,
Save round about the Dardinelles,
Where War would overwhelm
The messengers that long have borne
The flag of trade and peace.
In league with fiery Turcomen
And sons of ancient Greece,
The Anglo-SaXon sees the lights
OF great achievements near
And in the strength of unity
Stands forth without a fear;
The sun is shining on the Slav
And all along the way
Where Ignorance was master once
Now shines the light of day
Go forth then infant year, go forth!
No age has ever flown
AS rich in opportunities
For progress as your own.
Go lead the world to better things,
To knowledge and the right,
so that the eyes of History
May view you with delight

of age-and | would recall my grand
fathers stories of the days when they
were the force in the Republic, and
the runaway "niggers," and the rifles,
and the great blazing up of liberty in
the land, and it seemed to me that
Time, or what Thomas Hardy calls the
Ironic Spirit, or perhaps it was only
the politicians who were managing the
convention, had played some grotesque,
stupendous joke on those patriarchs.
Did their old eyes, gazing so strangely
on that scence behold its implications?
Did they descry the guidepost that told
them how far away they really were
from that first convention and its
ideals?
But whatever the reflections of those
two aboriginal republicans, or what
ever emotions or speculations they
may have inspired in those who saw
them, the torch of liberty being ever
branished somewhere in this world and
tossed from hand to hand-they had
done their part in their day, and might
presumably be allowed to look on at
the antics OF men wherever they chose,
in peace. They had known Lincoln,
no inconsiderable distinction in itself!

The Theatres
At the Theatre.

The show for the last half of the
week is one that meets with the ap-
proval of all. There is much to anuse
and plenty to entertain. The feature
act, Bob Fitzsimmons,' an Australian
kangaroo, is some boxer. This act is
one of the most novel acts ever seen in
vaudeville. 1t Is remarkable how nat
urally the animal takes to boxing. He
semms to thoroughly enjoy it. He is
a comedian of some class. also, and
puts UP some funnyjokes on his train
ers and the stage hands.
Robinson e. Romaine are a pair Of
nifty looking young entertainers with
a good breezy, up-to- the minute act
which was greeted with lots Of ap-
plause. The male member of this
clever pair deserves special mention
on his Scandinavian political speech.
1t is a gem Of its kind. S 4 IAN
Heennelia, the man Of mystery, is
another feature act. He performs a.
number of feats Of legerdemain, all Of
which are new and mystifying, while
his sensational illusion, Rosa, the sing
ing head, puts the audience to guess
ing.

show are a couple of comedians with

banjos. on which they give some act

MECHANIC lien
LOSES PRECEDENCE
LUMBER DEALERS AND CON-
TRACTORS. sHoRN OF AN AD-
VANTAGE IN NORTH DAKOTA
BY ACT PASSED BY LAST LEG
ISLATURE.

The lumbermen and contractors no
longer have the exclusive snap in
North Dakota they formerly enjoyed.
The mechanics lien has been subju-
gated. 1t no longer runs rampant over
the state, taking precedence over first
mortgages, even If filed later.
The last legislature restrained the
wild career of the mechanics lien. A
man might make a. first mortgage loan
on piece of land or building, get q
clear abstract and think he was safe,
but If some-lumber or contractors bill
incurred prior t. the mortgage was
unpaid, a mechanics lien could be
placed on the property and it would
have to be satisfied first.
This cannot happen any more. Due
notice of intention to foreclose or file
liens must now be given and the own
er'S consent must be secured. The lien
cannot take precedence over any mort
gage filed prior. The old measure was
regarded as class legislation in the in
terests of the lumber dealers and con-
tractors.
Contractors on municipal work are
hurrying their jobs to completion. The
paving work is completed in Fargo and
is being finished in Mandan and Minot.
There is some sewer and Waterman
construction work remating to be
done here, but it will soon be finished.
Enderlin and Beach have completed
large contracts, while those in Valley
City, Minot and Grand Forks will be
finished before cold weather.
The Farmers State bank at Aneta
and the Security bank at Fairview
have let contracts for new buildings
and the Pierce building at Wahpeton

POLO ACCIDENT

Colorado Springs, Colo, Aug. 20
Foxhall Keene, a member of the Am
erican polo team in its recent contest
with England, was seriously Injured at
the polo tournament of the Cheyenne

was thrown in the play and his horse
rolled over on him. His right shoulder

eastern polo crack since his accident
previous to the international series in
June. On Monday Keene was slightly

Downtown Plant in Winnipeg.
In connection with the meetina. in
Minneapolis it might be stated that
there was a proposition outlined TO
the assembled magnates for the pur-
pose Of securing a downtown plant in
Winnipeg. With the attendance fig
ures around the 100000 mark for the
past season, and this at park that Is
removed from the business center OF
the city, it is believed that the secur-
ing Of park in the business center
of the city would make Winnipeg one
of the best baseball towns on the con-
tinent. ..-. IA. r.
1t is understood that there is some
American capital ready to back the
venture: also it is given out as a fact
that the present owners of the Win
nipeg franchise have declined with
thanks the proffer Of the additional
money for the building of new plant.
won't consider an offer to dispose of
their holdings.
' Plans for Next Season. .-..
IL -USSluS TO look as IL DaSeDall IS
upon a solid basis iii this section
the country. Heretofore the old bug
aboo regarding the disbanding Of the
league has been prowling around
shortly after the season has been d
month or two old. There was nothing
like that during the season past.
Conrad was the only magnaIe who
set up the calamity hoWl-and Con-
rad stands about as much cnance 10

does in the vicinity of the open CRATE.
Winnipeg has become in the past
season the best baseball town that
this league has ever had. Grand Forks
has had one of it's best seasons. 1t is
believed that Port Arthur and Fort
William will make excellent fran
chise holders, or a franchise holder,
rather In another season the .article
of baseball in the league will improve
over the article played this year, as
the undesirable material will have
been weeded out in the shape of man
ayers and experience will have added
it's store of knowledge to guard
against the mistakes of the past. Also
it is very likely that some new UNI
pires will be lined up during the win
ter season and that the problem Of
making the games shorter will be one
taken to heart with serious determin-
alton. r..

Beef lea.

Chop the meat fine-it is better
chopped by hand than passed through
the mincer, as much of the juice is
apt to be lost in the latter process. To
every pound Of chopped meat. one pint
of cold water should be allowed, and a
small teaspoonful of salt should be dis
solved in this before the meat is add
ed.
Cover the bowl in which the meat
and water are standing, and put it in a
cool place. During the three hours
while it remains there the salt will
draw the juice from the meat.
Twenty miutes' cooking will suffice
to complete the process. but care must
be taken that the whole merely SIM
mers and does not boil.
