The Church Social
BY GEORGE FITCH.
Author of "At Good Old siTash.,

n ONE people eat to live and some eat
for pleasure, but the church social
- was invented for the purpose of
enabling people to eat for religion
The church social IS the solid rock
upon which rest the finances of the
American church. When the soliciting
committee has resigned in despair and
the wealthy pillars of the church have
gone quietly away to avoid the pain of
refusing to double their contributions
the church social steps Dravely in and
makes up the deficit. When the new
church has risen as high as the spire
and thumbscrews couldn't get another
dollar from the fattened congregation
the church social rolls up its sleeves and
carpets the edifce, puts IN the stained
glass windows and buys the organ.
When times are so hard that the banks
stop lending money on government
bonds and strong men cry out in de-
spair over the task of paying the gro
Gerry bill the church social biltbely
gathers up SlI3.25 and sends it to the be-
nighted heather southwest of the Congo
river.
A church social is easier to pull off
than a riot in Ulster All that Is neees-
sary IS to gather a wagon load of fried
chicken, potato salad, cold ham, veal loaf,
blonde, brunette and Senegambian cake
and pie IN its various forms and arrange
the swag tastefully in the church dining
room. This is done BY the women of the
congregation. The men are then adj
mitted and shortly atferward all that IS
left is a scene Of shocking ruin and SO
in the treasureT's purse
The secret of the church sociaTs sue
cess is its financial system. After man
has eaten fried chicken, escalloped
oysters, larded beef, four kinds Of salad,
three kinds of pie and eight eolors Of
cake he does not ask for his check and
find that he owes s6.45 to the house ex-
elusive of tips. He gives a quarter to the

Glacier bay has extended that field
from Alaska into Canada, giving the
Dominion a new harbOr far north Of

the recession didn't happen years ago,
for then the boundary would have been
pushed inward, adding hundreds Of
square miles to the area Of Alaska"
The Alaskan boundary tribunal, in
1903, decided that the United States
was entitled to continuous strip of
territory which extended around the
heads of all the inlets, thus excluding
all contact Of British territory with the
sea from Portland canal north to Mt
81 Elias. 1t also fixed the eastern or
interior boundary line at designated
mountain peaks to conform to this de-
cision. This line extends practically 10
leagues from the ocean.

A NEW TEMPERANCE SOCIETY,

From The Texas White Ribbon
Acting governor VIII II. Mayes, who
is both a prOhibitionist and a prac-
teal temperance worker, has started
new temperance society OF his own. As
acting governor he had occasion to
issue number Of pardOns and in every
case where the application for pardon
shows that the applicant has led an
Incorporate life or committed the Of
fence for which he was convicted while
under the influence Of liquor, governor
Mayes made il a condition Of the par
don that the applicant must hereafter
ABSTAIN from the use OF all intOXicat-
ing liquors. He required the par
doned men to sign an agreement
Of this kind before his release and the
pardon may be Cancelled should the
agreement be violated. This may never
become large temperance society, but
it viii doubtless bring happiness to a
number Of homes, for the man whose
freedom from Imprisonment depends
upon it will hesitate long before he
takes a drink Of intoxicating liquor.

Please allow me a little space in

out IN order to give some weight to
my opinion on the subject, for the
benefit of students of the Spanish
language.
In general we may say of diction-
ary- IN connection with translation
work. what Mr.. Roosevelt said of guns.
MI standard guns are good, but the
main factor in shooting is the man
behind the gun SO in making trans
lattons. the main factor is the know
ledge of the languages that the trans
lator possesses. aside from the imme-
date use of the dictionary.
Literary or documentary Spanish
cannot be translated properly, even
with the use of a dictionary, unless the
translator has an extensive and gram
matcal knowledge of the languages
with elasticity of expression enough
to preserve the idea intact under an
entirely different dress. The dictiOn-
airy gives the words, but it is not sup
posed to give the grammar and the
coloring peculiar TO each language.
These latter qualities come to a trans
lator only through study and prac-
tice.
For the benefit of students Of the
Spanish language I will mention two
dictionaries. first and principally that
OF Nelazquez and then the one of Ar
turo Cuyas. Both are published by
Appleton and company. The dictionary
OF NelazqueZ is not only common

100 Years Ago Today

n NE HUNDRED years ago today the
Kentucky legislature, in COM
pliance with a request from presi-
dent Madison, set aside a section OF the
state penitentiary for the confinement of
British prisoners. The war had now
continued is months and the problem of
caring for the prisoners taken by Amer
lean arms had become a perplexing one.
The vast extent of country covered by
the operations of the war and the diff
culties then existing in the way of trans
pOrtation combined to hamper a ready
exchange of prisoners by the opposing
sides. At the same time the states were
beginning to protest vigorously against
the expense of keeping the British cap
tives. In an effort to free herself from
the burden, Massachusetts went so far as
to pass an act forbidding the cOnfine-
ment in her jails of prisoners not com.
mitted by her judicial authorities.

Will Give Trees
To School Children

The following was received by
us this morning from the North
west Nursery, at Valley City, N.
D. Arbor Day comes on the
18th day of May this year, and
on the lO-l2th Mr.. Bunker will
give these trees to the school
children free of charge. This
shows that Mr.. Bunker is public
spirited and we think that by
giving the trees at this time Of
the year it will induce many
people to plant trees, which this
country needs badly.
The Bunker Cash Grocery Of
your city have contracted with
us to furnish them a quantity Of
young trees to be given away
free for planting on Arbor Day
to the children Of your city and
the surrounding country. The
mere fact of their generous offer
hardly needs any further COM
ment from US. We believe the
business men of the state are
realizing more and more the
great value that trees will have
in the prevention Of winds and
conservation Of moisture in our
state. 1t is a splendid thing
when far sighted business men
see the great need Of our state
and come to the rescue in SO lib
eral and substantial A manner.
The action taken on their part
should result in awakening an
interest in the planting of trees
in the minds of the young people
OF our state. AS they reach
maturity, they will be more
greatly impressed with the great
value of trees to our state than
their fathers who have been
passing thru the busy days Of
hardships.
