Daddy's Bedtime

Got a Lovely
Valentine

VI VALENTINE day is always an event to the children. Are there not
~ pretty postcards and fancy valentines and parties to celebrate the
day? Jack and Evelyn had been saving their pennies for a couple Of
weeks and counting up the little friends to whom they thought they
ought to send valentines. #. #.
And don't you mean to send any valentine to meT' daddy asked, pretend.

Nov" replied Evelyn, shaking a finger at him, lyon know you mustn't
know anything about it Valentines are spises, and it won't be a sDrise If
you are told" ~ a.#.,
Very WELL" daddy replied meekly; then I won't ask any more, but maybe
youll let me tell you a story about a little boy and his valentine.
He was a very tiny boy, not more than four or Eve, and his brothers and
sisters had been talking about Valentine day for weeks.
THE little fellow was very anxious to do Just as they did. He had a whole
quarter to spend, and he wished to send some n a nice valentine When the
older children joked about his sweetheart he opened his eyes very wide and
binked to keep back the tears, for he did not like being made fun of. when
they went shopping little BERTHE wanted to go with them, but they said they
could not be bothered taking such a little boy along and that he would much
better spend his money for candy. 4-@@s.n@ .H# s%@ +.
"Berhe watched them as they went down the street and grandma said,
Never mind. dear; you and I VIII go shopping after while, and you can buy a
nice valentine In the little shop around the corner <h~

THE BOARD OF CONTROL.

Governor Hanna seems to have cut
away from politics and had an eye
single to the best interests OF the state
m naming the board Of control. It
would be hard to find three men in
North Dakota who would more Gapa-
bly, I'LL these high offices, or who stand
higher in their respective communi-
ties than Mr.. Lewis, Mr.. Grant and
Mr.. Jackson.
MIR. Lewis, although well known to
all the state, having served in a very
capable a lieutenant govern
or and held other high Offices, Is best
known in Fargo and Cass county and
no man is held in higher esteem in
this section Of the state. He is, above
all else. a clever, 1evel-headed, keen
minded business man. In fact this
seems to be the dominant characters
tic OF each of these three men.
Mr.. Grant is a man who stands out
in the business life of jamestown, a
man who has achieved success be-
II of his natural ability. He re-
ceives excellent endorsements from
h business world, not alone of his
home town but from others. Among
those who have expressed to The Fo-
rum their sincere belief in his judg-
ment n ability Is f. A. Irish, vice
president of the First National bank
of Fargo. Mr.. Irish states that he
has lone business with Mr.. Grant for
years and has come to have the high
est regard for him as a business man,
and as a straightforward, honest gen
tleman.
This also appears to be true of Mr..
Jackson. The latter is The mayor OF
Williston and president of the COM
merciaI club Of the city OF opportunity,
which shows what the people of his
home town think of his ability. He is
ranked IS one of the leading business
men Of the slope.
Laying aside all prejudice and look
ing at the selections from the stand
point OF fitness alone, it would seem
that Mr.. Hanna has made an excellent
choice. The Forum believes he Is TO
be congratulated on his appointments.

kim Adam Is Dead.

An interesting character died in the
Massachusetts General hospital In
Boston last week. He was known as
King" Adams, the Monarch OF Swan
island in the caribbean sea.
The story Of Alonzo Adams reads
like q 1t is the story of a
wandering Yankee who, always equal
to the situation, was able to win out
by adapting himself to circumstances
or by making circumstances bend
around to suit his needs.
Adams was born at Ellsworth, Ne,
and early manifested wanderlust. He
took naturally to the sea, and, first as
a fisherman and later as a sailor and q
trader, he was seen In all lands.
twenty-five years ago with q number
Of other men he became interested In
the mining of phosphate In the Carfb-
bean sea, and formed the Albion
Chemical CO.. This company char
tered the fishing packet owned By
Adams. with him as master, and fitted
out the craft to locate one Of the
phosphate islands off the coast of
Cuba and mine the product.
The venture was unsuccessful. but
Adams had faith and after the COM
pany had relinquished its claim he as
stunned control, subduing the natives,
and actually setting up for himself q

LIVESTOCK FOR PRIZES.

Every year thousands Of dollars are
distributed to North Dakota farmers
in the way OF prizes. These prizes
are given by various persons or
agencies through corn contests. live
stock contests, potato contests, etc.
Generally the prizes are given in cash.
The Rugby Commercial club Is
planning on a big corn contest in
Pierce county in which 1t will dis
tribute $500. The first prize is to be
a Holstein COW.
The Forum believes hat there is a
valuable suggestion here for other
agencies that will distribute prizes n
the future. Why not, instead Of giving
a cash prize, add to the p~edigreed live
stock in the state by making The
prizes thoroughbred animals instead
Of cash? Even in cases where only
small prizes are awarded, the premium
might be a valuable hen or cock, or
here the prize was more valuable, a
hog, a COW or even a horse.
1T is conceded by the agricultural
experts and by thinking farmers, that
North Dakota needs more livestock.
This appears to be an opportunity for
killing two birds with one stone.

INDEPENDENCE IN PHILIPPINES.

1t is to be hoped that the democratic
administration soon to assume control
in Washington will not pay any heed
to the demands of ~busybodtes and
generally misguided individuals who
insist upon immediate independence"
for the Fflipinos. or upon a definite
promise of independence in the near
future.
The democratic national platform
touched the subject of independence
for the Philippines, but it did so in
language which may be described as
indirect, or merely reasonable. The
platform in question asserted that it
should be the purpose of this govern
xnent 'to recognize the independence
of the Philippine islands as soon as a
stable government can be established,
such Independence to be guaranteed
by us until the naturalization of the
islands can be secured by treaty with
other powers.
That it will be impossible to estab-
fish a stable government such as
the authorities at Washington can
transfer to the leaders among the
Filipino people, within the space of a
lew years, is out of the question.
Congressman Jones of Virginia Is
1he author OF q bill which win be
brought before congress- during the
regular session, presumably, in which
Independence to the Philippine islands
is promised in eight
It is obviously impossible to get a
date before which the necessary work
of paving the way for Philippine IN
dependence can be performed.
The Filipino peoples are doing very
well at present, says The st. Louis
Times. Their industrial and educa-
tional systems are TAR better than
they have ever been before In the his-
tory of the archipelago,

SPANISH PRISONER AGAIN.

The Spanish prisoner who has made
Madrid criminally famous for more
chan a generation Is at it again. The
swfndle is so Anticipated that the po-
Nee wonder how it can be revived ev-
cry few years and worked to advan-
tage in the United States and Eng
land.
The scheme is simplicity itself. A
banker who as made a fortune is in
prison in Madrid. His affairs are in
such state that IL the correspondent to
whom he writes will forward a modest
sum he will put the obliging stranger
PIN the way OF making a large sum Of
money. OF course the prisoner in
Madrid cannot be communicated with
directly, but he names a trusted agent
who will handle the money.
This swindle has been in operation
for more thar thirty years. A quar-
ter of a century ago Henry Labouch-
ere of London Truth exposed it, and it
has repeatedly been shown up since.
IT Is to be hoped the most recent ex-
position of the swindle in the public
press will discourage the Madrid pris-
0ner.

Mrs. Genevieve Vawter, the
beautiful wife of a. prominent
automobile man of Chicago, visit
ed her husbands office recently.
She knocked down the glass parti-
tions, scraped all the pictures
from the walls, overturned the
furniture that wasn't too hefty to
handle, pulled the telephone out
by the roots, and otherwise dis
arranged things. The police were
summoned, and when the patrol
wagon pulled up outside the shop
Mrs. Vawter locked herself into
a closet.
Madame, you'n have to come
out o'there,' said a stout cop
per. us policemen are busy
gents, and We haven't any time
to waste"
There was no response from
Mrs. VNwter, so the policemen
got a kit of tools from their
wagon and set to work to remove
the hinges Of the door. When
the door was lifted off Mrs.
Vawter, smiling at the men for
their trouble, stepped out of the
closet. She wanted to ride to
the station house in one of her
CARS, out was
ed to accept a seat in the patrol
wagon by the coppers whose col
lars were wilted and whose patti
ence had evaporated. 81
Mr.. Vawter, who is secretary of
the Pathfinder Motor CO., got q
bondsmen for his wife, and the
coppers sent a boy out for a dozen
paper collars. A friend OF Vawr-
er's explained things to the po-
lice:
shes insanely jealous, and
from what occurred at the Path
finder office 1t might be said that
she also has a temper. II he
