CARE OF THE POOR.

In preparing for passage an ordin-
ance putting in effect the provisions
Of a new law for the ears CT the poor
the Grand Forks :ty coun' cakes
a position in .hc 1T rank OF north
western cities on this important ub-
iect. st the council meeting last
night the ordinance on this subject
passed its first reading, and Will
doubtless be finally passed at that
time.
The distinctive feature of the or
dinance is that it directs the commit
tee in charge of poor relief. and the
supervisor employed under the direc-
ton of that committee. to be diligent
in the effort to relieve cases of dis
tress, and also to take such steps as
relief in the most effective possible
manner and without making dona-
tons OF money or goods where they
are not needed, and where they will
do no good. 1t is necessary. of
course, that the DOOR be relieved. But
much &C the work that is done for
his purpose is worse than wasted,
because it is done unsystematically,
without proper information, and tend
to encourage professional pauperism
rather than to relieve cases of real
distress.
The proposed ordinance contem-
plates the collection of full informa-
ton about eevry case in which appli-
cation is made for aid. 1t is expected
that the proper official will ascertain
all the available facts about the
situation and character of the appli-
can't, HE or her habits, capacity for
work, family connections. and every
thing which can assist in intelligent
action on the case. 1t will he the
duty of the official to use every effort
to secur employment for INDECENT
persons able to work. and to refuse
aid to those who are able to work and
refuse to do so. All of this will as
sist in the bestowal of real charity.
The suggestion was made by Alder
man Dinnie last night, and concurred
in by other members of the council,
that steps should be taken if possible
to see that men who are earning
wages do not squander their money
M then have their families sup
ported by the public. Possibly a pro-
vision covering this cannot be made
a part of the ordinance, but it will he
possible for the committee, with the
assistance Of the criminal courts, to
bring powerful influence to Zeal in
this direction.

A FAMOUS BREEDER.

When we read Of the egg laying
contests at Mountain Grove. Mo-, and
Of the international contest at Storrs,
Conn, we see that the leading pen
is that of Tom Barron of Catforth,
near Preston, England, about twenty
eight miles from Liverpool. Mr.. Bar
ron's birds are white Leghorns. and
the fact that his birds. after travelling
from England to the contests here
have begun to lay within three or
four days after they have been placed
in the contest has been a topic of dis
cussion among chicken raisers. Many
theories have been advanced as to the
reason of these birds maintaining
their wonderful egg records. These
birds have certainly set American
breeders to thinking.
Mr.. Barron is a wealthy mar and
he made his money in chickens. He
began with only a little mone and
no experience. His start was not
made with five hundred tlrds either,
which is something beginners must
keep in mind. His beginning, Ike that

twenty birds. That was back in 1894.
thirteen of which are given over to
poultry, the other seven being used
for meadow hay for the cows. which
are a result Of the profits Of poultry.
The poultry has enriched every
acre OF the ground. ground that
previously was thought practically
worthless Indeed, the mar from
whom Mr.. Barron bought the farm
was compelled to buy hay to feed his
cows. Yet it now supports ten cows,
and gives Mr.. Barron plenty Of skim
milk for his chickens, and in addi-
ton gives plenty of surplus hay.
The business was put on IL Seei

she didn't see why his going should

completely changed the following
week, when the untimely death of he,
father left her quite alone.

A Chicago gentleman is distribut-
ing copies of a circular in which he
maintains that the consumer of inn
ported goods does not pay the duty,
because. as he points out. the custom
is for the shipper to pay the duty and
take a receipt for it. AS the govern
ment does not collect two duties, it is
clear, of course, that the consumer
does not pay the duty. 1t is odd what
kinks get into peoples brains m
times. The question Of interest to
people generally is not who advances
the burden of the duty falls in the
last analysis. No generalization on
this subject would be correct. because
the facts vary with each separate
the whole duty falls on the foreign
producer. In other cases it is borne
entirely by the domestic consumer. In
others it is distributed. and several
people share in paying the cost. If
an article is produced in such abund-
ance in this country that the local
production is equal or nearly equal
to the local demand, if goods Of that
character are imported the foreign
shipper or producer will have to stand
the whole duty. The price which he
receives will be the local price less
the duty If the article is one which
is not produced at all in this coun-
try, the domestic consumer will pay
the duty. The ase is perfectly sim.
pie. yet there are many who are con-
fused over it.

He wasn't in the egg laying competi-
ton then. In fact, 1t has only been in
recent years, when, with money to

There have been. many deriders of

used the trap nest and by careful Sc
lection has brought his contest birds
to their present position of being per-
haps the greatest layers in the world.
1t is not SO much the trap nest either,
because it would not pay most of us

THE OLD ROMAN LEGION.
Principles Upon Which It's Military
Strength Was Builded.

Principles Upon Which Its Military
Strength Was Builded.
The Roman military unit was the
legion Of from 1000 to 5000 men. di-
rided into ten cohorts. The strength
of Roman arms lag in three things.
The first of these was careful se!ec-
ton Of men from among such citizens
as were practiced in arms. The Sec
ond dependence was upon discipline.
Warlike youths accustomed themselves
to the use of arms as recreation, so
that it was said that their sports were
battles without bloodshed and their
battles bloody sports. The third point
was the prompt adoption Of all i'm
provements suggested by the expert
ence Of foreign wars.
The Roman legion was practically
never defeated so long rs these three
principles remained in force. The Sc
cret of its strength was the spirit Of
the men. who in their perfect disci-
pline expressed their glory in Rome
aud their confidence in themselves.
The most brilliant achievements Of
this military instrument were attained
by Caesar. who aroused the devotion
Of his troops to the highest roint bF
making common cause with them in
the pursuit OF valor. AS Plutarch says.
He showed them that he did not heap
up wealth from the wars for his own
luxury or the gratifying Of his private
pleasures. but that all he received was
but Il public fund. laid by for the re-
ward and encouragement Of valor."-

NapoIeon's Concentration.


The leading military principles Of Ma
poleon were to seize the initiative by
concentrating ones forces from march
ing into fighting order as quickly as
possible and, having massed the troops
as compactly as effective action Will
permit, to attack swiftly. This attack
must be upon q portion only of the
enemy's army. and the weight Of ones
whole force must be crowded in, so
that at the point Of action a decided
superiority is attained. This theory
sf action he often explained to bis gen.
erals. Moreau, in conversation with
Napoleon in 1899. remarked that it
was always the greater numbers that
won, to which Napoleon replied: "You
are right. When, with inferior forces
had large army before me con-
centrated mine rapidly and fell like
lightning upon one Of the enemy's
wings and routed it. Then I took ad'
vantage Of the confusion which this
maneuver never failed to produce IN
the opposing army to attack 1t on an
other point. but always with my whole
force. Thus beat it in detail, and the
victory which was the result was al
ways, as you see. the triumph OF the
larger over the lesser. edward -
