RUFF AND HIS WORK.

The Rev. =. Parkes Cadman, pastor of
the church, was assisted by the Rev.
David Loinoz and by the Rev. II. Han.
del. one of the chaplains OF the Fire
Department. In his sermon Mr. Cadman
said.
Mr.. Woodruff died fighting for causes
In which his conscience bore witness.
His civic virtues showed to the end. lie
obtained an enviable place among his
fellowm,n because OF the strength Of
his sturdy and aggressive character
which never coveted ease nor permitted
| Itself to be entirely absorbed in the pur-
suit OF gain.
Mr. Woodruff was Independent OF the
lure o. money In public office. lie did
not worship the golden calf nor prosti

tegrity. 1t would have been well 70,

Mayor Emery's proclamation is due
to the tropical climate Of Fargo, and
it is presumed that the mayor of
Moorhead will soon issue a similar
proclamation.
The city of Grand Forks. is evident
ly not sharing the climatic conditions
Of Fargo. Situated so much farther
north, it is no wonder that The Grand
Forks Herald advised all its male
readers on Tuesday morning not to
venture forth on that day with their
straw hats, c~autioning every mar that
it would be committing the worst kind
of a faux pas" if he did.
There is such a difference between
Fargo and Grand Forks in the point of
their climatic conditions anyway.
While Grand Forks is apparently
freezing to death so that the daily
press of that city is advising its male
readers to don their derby hats; the
people of Fargo are enjoying the
balmy air of this tropical cline.
In the city of Minneapolis the con-
ditions are similar. Mayor Nye has
issued a proclamation quite like that
issued by Mayor Emery this morning.
But it is now perfectly proper to
wear you summer straws until the
morning Of Sunday, Sept. Fl. Not
until her will it be in good form to
appear in your fall headgear.

Travellers in Central
America Have to Be Diplomats

proficient in the course of a few months
to travel in these countries. The COM
mercial vocabulary is not SO extensive
as to constitute a considerable task,
and that attained the traveller is
equipped for business. The rest will be
easy to learn, and should be learned If
the man Is to stay in the trade, for
1t enables him to become better &C
quainted with his trade and to get
upon a more social and intimate foot
ing with the merchants, who value per-
sonal acquaintanceship and friendship
very highly and who are very loyal
to the travelling men whom they know
and consider their friends.
Discretion and Tact Essential.
Finally, the discretion and good
sense of the man selected for travel
in these countries should be given
equal consideration with his ability
to produce business in the United
States. A. small breach Of good taste
or custom may have. most unlocked
for effects, and is well illustrated by
an instance that is well authenticated.
TWO American travellers were making
their way by train from the seaport
| where they landed to the capital of
one OF the Central American republics.
The circulation medium of the country

United States money, Is worth about
5 cents on the dollar, and some of it
is rather ragged from constant use.
| One Of the two travelling men had
secured a pocket full Of it and appear
ed to derive much amusement from
the large denomination Of the bills
and their small value in gold. He
called it monkey money" The phrase
seemed to tickle him immensely. He
used 1T on all occasions, In, buying
fruit from the natives at stations, In
dealing with the commercio, or train
tbutcher,a and to the conductor. He
generally had a lot Of fun over 1t. Al
so In talking with his companion he
mentioned the firms he expected to do
business with on his arrival at the
capital.
He did no business there. One of
the business men he expected to sell
to was In the seat right behind him
on the trip inland. He understood some
English and was so incensed at the
foolery OF the traveller rejecting upon
the money of the country that he took
1t upon himself to communicate with
every firm mentioned by the travelling
mas as prospective customers, AND
acquaint them with the mans Views
as to- monkey money and the coun-
try that had such money.

The Treaty With Nicaragua.

Chicago Journal: The only resem-
blance between the treaty with Nicar-
aqua proposed by the Wilson admin
istration and the scheme evolved by
advisers Of former President Taft is
that both plans seek to restore order
in a distracted country.
Taft would have forced a loan on
the Nicaraguan government. Wilson
would buy from that government a
perpetual option on the Lake Near
aqua canal route. The scheme that
failed would have made Nicaragua less
independent than any state in the
Union. The plan now proposed leaves
that country free to do anything that
a wise and civilized government would
to have done.
Under the circumstances. the pro-
posed treaty seems the best plan avail
able. 1t is open, honorable, clean. II
is free from faint of privilege. II
makes for peace and good government
Unless some senator has a better de-
vice for preventing anarchy and fore
stalling European interference in a re-
gion SO close to the Panama canal, the
treaty with Nicaragua should be &C
cepted.

The MISSION ON
FRONT Street
FARGO MAN is INTERESTED IN
THE LITTLE MISSION AND THE
GRAND WORK 1T is DOING
GIVES OUTLINE OF THE THINGS
DONE THERE.

To The Forum: A few years since,
/ became interested in the Front street
mission. o. E. McCracken and a few
of the faithful, were striving to help
others less fortunate than they.
Sometimes it looked like a hopeless
task to continue the work under such
adverse circumstances. The zeal and
honesty; Of those engaged in this
labor of love; enlisted my sympathy
n cooperation. I did all in my
power, to encourage the few in their
good deeds. Let us thank God that a
measure of success has been obtain
ed. ...5. ...,... ..
Last year a fine building was erect
ed, well equipped for mission work.
In the basement is a large room, free
to those unable to pay. On stormy
days, a group of little people congre-
gate in the basement, for a few hours
Of play. A mission worker is always
in attendance to care for the little
ones. Fifty boys and girls attend
| Sunday school. The writer believes,
that many of those boys and girls,
will some day lie among the best men
n women in Fargo. Let us hope
that this may be true.
One grand woman gives her entire
time to the mission work. .She visits
the sick, distributes clothing to those
in need, and when able to do SO, gives
food to many unfortunate ones. There
is no salary asked for the services Of
this faithful woman, whose daily
visits bring joy and gladness to many
lonely ones. ~
The Importance of the Front street
mission, is recognized from the fact,
that aid has come from our governor
down to the citizen In private life.
Many who are unable to engage in the
work themselves, have given quite
literally Of their money.
The writer has neither solicited nor
received money for the mission, but
is always glad to accept clothing, new
Or second hand, to help along in the
work. A class of people are reached
here that never attend religious serv-
ice anywhere. w Then the glad tidings
must be carried to those unfortunate
ones for whom Jesus died.
There is a debt of owe $4,000
against the building, which should be
paid as speedily as possible. If every
one who is able will give just a little
the debt can o. be paid. With this
burden removed, the mission workers
would take on new courage, n dc
much to help a, class of people whose
environments are against them.
The writer does not believe the PEG
pie Of Fargo desire the mission work
on lower Front street to be abandoned
i o. e. McCracken deserves some praise
for his untiring effort in the mission
work.
In conclusion, let us not forget the
faithful workers On Front street. They
are making a mighty effort to leat
unfortunate ones out of natures dark
ness into the glorious sunlight O.
truth, liberty and right doing.
