The AUDITORIUM
Committee WORK
PRESIDENT SMITH OF THE COR
PoRATIoN VERY MUCH PLEAS
ED WITH THE MANNER IN
WHICH THE PEOPLE HAVE RE-
sPoNDED-WAITINe FOR MORE.

1t isn't likely that there will be much
done with the auditorium proposition
in the way Of building or securing an
architect until several of the well
known capitalists Of the city who are
away get home.
It is the intention of the committee
which has the matter in charge for
the Fargo Commercial club and which
will be a part Of the armory corpora
ton not to take any steps in this dt-
rectton until every CEN of the money
has been subscribed. Then the stock
will be issued and it is believed that
the stock will pay a small dividend
and in the end the members Of the cor
poration will receive all their money
back again.
w. w. Smith, who heads the commit
tee and is president Of the corporation,
states that he is confident of winding
up the business in q Shor time. The
company has a capital stock Of $50, 600,
but 1t is intended that $4,000 of this
will be used for the building alone. The
lot is estimated to be worth not far
from $4,000 and after the building is
up and the military company begins to
occupy it the statement is made that
the $500 allowed by the state to the
company for paying rent can be appli-
ed to the upkeep of the building, The
armory will be in charge of Co. 3 and
will be used for all manner of purposes.
The people of the city have express
ed themselves as being very much
pleased with the work of Mr.. Smith
and those who have been associated
with him in the enterprise, at the same
time speaking in warm terms of the
work that was done by the late ]. B.
Folsom, who was the first chairman of
the auditorium committee.
Mr.. Smith is still busily engaged
seeing" those who have not already
taken stock in the building.

began to grow more and more pointed
and personal, and her lingering looks
took on deeper and deeper tinga Of
affection, he scovered to his dlsrnay
that she was meditating nothing less
than fresh plunge into the sea Of
ms trimony, with him as a swimming
partner.
The man who had looked with 8
calm eye and placid composure into
dea h-dealing musketry and cannon
now felt sinking of the heart which
almost caused his knees TO knock to-
gether In very anguish OF terror.
He was man of naturally fine aensi-
bilities, and although attrition with
the hard-fisted facts of life had worn
them to a cal'ous, he could not but
oil keenly the awfulness Of the
sitration He sympathized with hts
landlo DIV, who had been so forbearing
toward him. but yet the idea that she
might exact a requital of the debt BY
expecting him to lead her to the altar
filled him with horror.
PsImistry Saved Him.
II was at this point that the pro-
fessor rose to the full height OF the
occasion. He invoked the aid OF
pahnistry. The next time Mrs. Aliis-
ton submitted her hands to his inspec--
tion he started back with mingled
surprise and alarm.
"A new line has formed in your
right palm" he exclaimed. "It Is still
SO faint that none but the practised
eve of a palmist can see IT. l can
trace it from the ball of the thunb, or
Mount of Venus, as we call it, across
the palm upward until 1t cuts a So
called line of affection near the edge

In his youth Professor Polydore
had accompanied u mighty Nimrod
on a tiger hunting expedition through
India. OF hair-breadth escapes from
the numberless deadly perils of the
jungles he could talk most interest
ingly by the hour. Unfinchingly he
had gazed into nearly all of the my
Rad faces which death assumes; not
quailing before bowling, roaring
trumpeting beasts; standing un-
daunted amid bursting shells on bat
tletlelds; watching without trepidR-
ton the breaking UP of ice foes on
which he had become marooned dur
ing polar trips-nothing, Ill a word,
seemed able to shake his fortitude or
wiring from him a single sign OF
terror. until he met his Waterloo at
the hands of an elderly, but not I'M
handsome, woman.
Never was there a milder, kindier,
more sympathetic person than Mrs.
Alliston, Professor Polydore's land
lady. Even his failure to pay rent
for his "parlors" for three consecu-
tive months was insufficient to CORFU
gate the unruffled surface of this
rather well-to-do widows temper.
Never once had she as much as hint
ed ut his arrears. On the contrary,
tAVa teih HEi MS Atbt lt1G NNEtlEI SttlIl-

The day the second months rent
became due Professor Polydore re-
auested permission to read Mrs. AL
liston's hands.
81 shan't accept any pay" he said
with his most gracious and engaging
smile. And she. good soul, deemed
herself more than repaid for the rent
by the wondrous Information he
ELECTED from her small, well-shaped
hands.

hill just ahead, and there you are"
But when he and Dorothy reached
the top Of The hill they found some
thing very much more interesting.
Thousands of tiny moonfolls were
operating what looked like long
searchlights, the rays of which shot
out over the sky with wonderful
brilliancy.
How Beautiful" Dorothy cried,

in charge of it to step aside, and
gave Dorothy the light.
Dorothy grasped 1t firmly and
waved it q little. A shaft of light
immediately shot across the sky.
The Man in the Moon took her arm.

he exclaimed excitedly; ''these
beams are for the earth. You
mustn't let them wander all over
the sky"
Excuse me-" hastily apologized
Dorothy. She tilted the camera
little and her moonbeam went

OF a little sick girl. who turned on
her pillow and smiled in her sleep
before her watching mother drew the
curtain.
Dorothy found suddenly that she
could see the earth with no trouble

her that this was because of the
magic III the moonbeam I'VE have

Dorothy did so, and there was
her own dear, Dear home, the nur-
sery, with baby Buster sleeping in
his crib, his old Teddy Bear beside
him with his feet ON the pillow and
his head under Busters arm.
Dorothy wiggled the moonbeam,
and Buster stirred. Then she be-

and tilted the moonbeam upward,
where it flooded the sky and then
lighted q poor, lono star.

WOOD RIVER DAIRY.
Visit to the Place Where You
BUY Milk and Cream.

The Recorder editor had the pleas

Dairy one night last week, and he
has only good words to say for all
he saw there The place is the old
Land ranch, south of town, on the
Little Wood river, and an ideal place
for stock or dairying Messrs Lane
& Mcintosh have put in as fine
herd Of Holstein cows as one would
find anywhere in southern Idaho.
number of the COWS came from Wis
consin, though some others are ma
tive bred; but all are of excellent
color, markings, and breeding. They
have the run of fine tame grass
pasture, without which 1t is prac-
tically impossible to keep cows, es-
pecially we'll bred cows, up to their
best. The milking is done in well
kept whitewashed, sanitary stable,
one that would be approved by any
inspector, howeverfinicky he might
be. The milk is taken to a milk
house well screened and white
washed and used for no other pur-
pose than for milk The bottles are
scalded thoroughly before using, and
whatever extra milk Is separated for
the cream, is handled as though it
were under the eyes of an inspector
all the time. 1t is well known a1non
the patrons of the Wood River Dairy
that the milk keeps sweet for an un-
usual length of time which is due
to the care Mr.. Mcintosh gives it in
the handling.
1t is a real pleasure to go to as
well kept a place as this and see

M. P. johnson Farm Sold.

Walter Stevens, lately of Provo,
Utah, has bought the M. P. john
son place at Marley, and takes pos
session this week. Both parties
were in town the first of this week,
to close up the deal. There is 200
acres in the farm, and the price was
$4,000. Mr.. Johnson who has been
suffering from rheumatism, expects
to go down to the hot springs near
Ogden to try to get relief; from
there, the family will probably go
to San Diego, California. However,
he is so certain that this country
is the best there is for farming
and stock that he says he will be
back here to stay If he can get
rid Of his rheumatism. This is
the largest farm sale reported in
this part of the county for two years
or thereabouts.

This weeks Recorder is supposed to
know nothing of the big excursion to
the dam, which occurred on Friday, a
day after the nominal publication day;
but in this case it is violent supposi-
ton, for the Recorder is Intentionally
late enough to know all about it.
No more successful event of the kind
was ever staged in Idaho. There was
li0ht shower in the morning, to cool
the air and lay the dust; but the whole
day was ideal for out of doors. About
400 people were on the train, 120 from
Gooding, 100 from Shoshone, 80 from
Dietrich, and the rest from Richfeld.
The train was unloaded at the Big
Wood River bridge, mile this side of
the dam. Six autos were provided to
take the ladies the rest of the way;
though the crowd being so large, sew
eral trips were necessary, and the last
ones were rather late.
At the dam, almost everybody in the
company employ was on hand to give
information or assistance. No one had
a chance to get away without learning
about the water shed and unequalled
water supply, the construction of the
