Daddy Bedtime
G. The Little Boy
OLOIV - Who Went
Bear Hunting

"%AHE little boy In this story" began daddy nj evening lived in this
country more than a hundred years ago, when there WERE bears in
many parts of the land. The people did not like the bears because
they ate chickens and ducks and geese and little pigs and sometimes
when very hungry they would attack people also.
"Samuel-that was the boys name-was ten years old when one day one

how a bear had got into his sheep barn the night before and had carried away
one Of his little lambs. He wanted all the nedghbOrs, with samuers father, to
help him hunt the bear. He's a big beast said the neghbor, and will give
us trouble, / fear. I know he's vwy large by the size Of his tracks
Then the neighbor went o 30 call for more help Samuers father said,
Mother, I q m going out to help hunt Neighbor Browns bear L want 70 go,

o my last birthday
AT first Samuels father would not hear of his going on the bear hunt 1t
wa too dangerous for boys, he said. But Samuel begged and pleaded and
coaxed so much that at last his father said he might go If he would promise
to keep at a safe distance behind the hunting party. Samuel promised, and
OF the two went to join the hunting party, the father carrying his great long
hunting musket and Samuel with his little gun.
FOR a time they traced the bear by the bits Of fleece he tore from the poor
little lamb, but after a time there ws 40 fleece, and they did not know which

at once they heard a terrible scream. It was from Samuel who had loMered
behind and had been seized by the bear.

was holding Samuel by the leg. But they dared not shoot at the big beast for

the others could Ere at the bear, and they soon killed him with their guns.
Poor little Samuel was Ill for a long time. The bear had bitten his leg
badly, and he could not walk for months. The old story which tells about

The body of the horse is oblong
whilst the head is oval or egg-shaped
It's back legs are angular, but the front
ones form two perfect straight lines
The tail, if allowed to grow, as II
should on account of keeping off the
flies, would then form a long, movable

the lectors Of each municipality and

municipal legislation OF every
character" Now supposing that some
municipality or district would vote to

them from doing so?

Mr.. Kraabel's contention is right and
this clause would have opened the
state to local option, IT would have
proved a very harmful measure.

SONNET.

To one who has been long in city pent,
IT'S very sweet to look upon the fair
And open ace Of heaven-to breathe a
prayer
Full in the smile OF the blue hrma-
ment.
Who is more happy when, with hearts
content,
Fatigued he sink into some pleasant
lair
OF a " grass, and reads a debonair
And gentle tale OF love and anguish
ment?
Returning home at evening with an ear
Catching the notes of Philomel-an
Watching the sailing cloudlet's bright
career,
He mourns that day so soon has glided
by;
Zen like the passage of an Angels
That falls through the clear ether
silently.

kRAASEL's EXPLANATION.

Every man is entitled to his dav in
court and The Forum is glad to make
public, Lieutenant Governor Kraabey's
explanation of his reason for deciding
that tie vote on the initiative and
referendum clincher motion as he did.
Mr.. Kraabel has been criticised severe.
ly by the state papers and the state
ment that appears in this issue Of The
Forum under his signature, is the first
public statement that has been made
by Mr.. Kraabei.
The explanation is somewhat
lengthy but the meat of it is that,
first, he believed that as presiding Of
ficer he should consider any motion
that does not carry, as lost; second,
that he believed that the Ployhar-
Blakemore bill would have let down
the bars to the liquor business and
allowed local option.
Mr.. Kraabel also contends that the
bill was weak in providing only the
maximum number Of voters required
to sign petitions under It's provisions
hut this would have undoubtedly been
regulated BY legislation before the bill
became operative.
Mr.. KraabefN vital criticism, and
undoubtedly the one which had the
most weight with him, Is regarding
that clause which hs quotes. He
says:

GROWTH OF TELEPHONE.

Attention is drawn anew to the part
which the telephone plays in the daily
life Of this country by the annual re-
port of the American Telephone Co.
covering the operations Of the Bell
telephone system in the United States.
1t does not require a very old citizen
to remember when the telephone was
q new thing. exceedingly limited in it's
operations, at best. n to be able to
talk for a few miles was considered
quite an achievement.
Since those early days the telephone
has become an integral part of the ma
TONS business n social life, so much
so that to imagine giving up the serv-
Ice would be difflcult. From the first
short lines, invention has come to the
aid Of the public until now it is pos
sible to talk across the continent and
messages over 300 to 500 miles
are not usual. AS a social
adjunct the telephone has also
played the large part. Among other
things the monotony of isolated dwell
ing is relieved n the farmhouse
made a hundred times more attrac-
tive.
So far from the demand being al
ready supplied, during 1912 there were
S23,449 more telephone stations as A
net result of the years operations, the
total number being 7,456,074. An idea
OF the use to which the telephones
are put can be gained from the fact
that there were nearly eight and a
half billion conversations over the
Americans wires during the year. The
company reaches 10000 cities, towns
and hamlets, which exceeds the mum
Der Of postofices by $500 and the
number Of railroad stations by TO-
600.
That the telephones ADVANTAGES are
appreciated more in this country thar
in Europe, it is stated thai Europe
has only about two-ifths Of the tele-
phone traffic of this country. though
nearly twice the amount of irst-class
mail traffic, which means that Ameri-
cans use the telephone in many in
stances where the Europeans are con
tent to wait for the slower post.

of $12,500 as it was an item for one
years maintenance, so as q matter of
fact the chool has $12, 500 for main
tenance for two years and an appro-
priation of $4,000 for a new building
which we understand was badly
needed.

lime OF the meeting P. P. Claxton, ma

FARGO REAPING BENEFIT.

Recently there vas inaugurated by
the Great Northern a change In train
service. that caused little more than
a ripple in Fargo circles, n yet which
will be a big thing for the city. The
change referred to is the new service
on the Portland branch Of the Great
Northern.
How many Fargoans are familiar
VITA the names Of these towns; Rose
Vile. Clifford. Galesburg, Erie. Mason,
or even Portland itself" And yet all
these towns are on the Portland
branch Of the Great Northern which
is now as directly tributary to the city
as is the southwestern line.
The Great Northern is now running
the Portland trains directly to Fargo
instead Of stopping them at CasseltOn
as formerly. People along the line
who want to come to Fargo can get
on the train at their home town and in
a few hours be at the metropolis.
heretofore they have had to stop
off at Casselton, and depend on catch
ing a n. p. train to the city, perhaps
having to stop all night at Cassel-
ton.
In this issue of The Forum viii be
found a clipping from The Portland
Republican, which shows how the
people Of Portland and the other
towns along the line are rejoicing at
the change. 1t will be as much or
more to the benefit OF Fargo met
chants than to the people Of these
towns, although every town along the
line will be built up and strengthened
by thus getting in direct communica-
ton with Fargo.
This is only another indication of
how the Great Northern is building
up Fargo as the hub city Of it's line.
