A Joyous Gospel From
Helen Keller

Rebel against the hardness and
injustice Of things as much as
you like. 1t is always well to
keep your fighting edge keen tc
smite wrongs wherever you meet
them. But never doubt the per
manence and excellence of what
is yet to be.
''The great, enduring realities
are love and service. Joy is the
holy fire that keeps our purpose
warm and our intelligence agloW'
Work without joy shall be as
nothing. Resolve to keep happy
and your joy and you shall form
an invincible host against Difficult
ties.
Learn from your books nos
only the days lesson, but the liza
lesson. In all knowledge, in th1
classics, in science. in history ana
literature, and in mathematlCs
you will see the struggle Of mar
to get nearer to God. Resolve
then, as you stand on the TIRES
hold Of your student days Win
an enlightened optimism to cons
secrate your education to the ser
vice of others. When your
thoughts become pessimlsuT
when it seems as if all men vera
deafened by the tumuit of trace
blinded by self-interest and greed
turn the pages of your history o.
England, and you will find ina
the ideals which shaped the AT
glo- Saxon race were not mean %
sordid. American history too =
filed with heroes and marty is
who joyfully pushed aside amp-.
ton and gave their lives TO ''s
common veal
THE world needs more OF ms
spirit of service There is sun
many a desert place where ~
sun of love and the light OF lru..
have not shone."

Viewing the subjet from every
possible standpoint, the life in
surance policy relieves the en-
barrassment covering a very deli.
cate proposition; its giving is also
a graceful, gracious. generous
act, altogether in the line Of com.
mon sense, sentiment, economics
and sound eugenics.
Further, the plan puts the man
on his good behavior. Not only
must he be able to pass the exam.

but he must have the money ia

eral law passed covering this
question. II not that, then lei
each State pass a law of its own
Among the Presents.
That the States have a right to
fix the conditions under which
marriage shall occur is freely ad-
mitted, and no honest or capable
man would object to the insg
nificant tax involved, especially
in view Of the fact that the policy
is worth the money, being issued
by a company supervised by gov.

Under these conditions its issu-
ance would be not only a duty
but a privilege.
You can not very well hand

A life insurance policy, how

found among the gewgaws ana

that it suggests is beautiful, right
hygienic and altogether lovely.
Life insurance, like fire insur-
ance, after all, is for the insured

Fire insurance is for the man
whose property doesn't burn W

fectly wonderful how many astute
married people, with a proper re-

BACK FROM DALLAS CONVENTION

George A. Adams has returned from
Dallas, where he attended the State
convention of local fire insurance
agents While in Dallas Mr.. Adams did
some fine missionary work in behalf of
the A. and NJ. College by urging the
defeat Of Resolution IS and distribut-
ing literature on the subject. Mr.. w.
r. Fairman was also in Dallas attend
ing a convention Of picture show peo-
Iple, and he co-operated fully with Mr.
Adams in behalf of A. and NJ.
Mr.. Adams says he encountered a
general Indifference on the subject, re-
Isulting wholly from a lack of informa-
ton, and believes the friends of the
college should bend all their energies
in campaign of education. He found
a general friendship and sentiment ia
voring the A. and NJ. College, and
there was an utter lack of interest in
the effect Resolution Is would have on
the school.
Mr.. Adams feels that he and Mr..
Fairman "deadened" a lot of timber
which will have its effect in the cleo
ton on July 10.

THE TWO SISTERS.

] know two sisters who are fair
And gentle and demure;
And in their loving eyes they wear
A lustre that is pure;
Pure as the light of silver showers
Among the golden isles
OF happy childhood; and the flowers
Are frightened by their smiles.
Their voices are in unison,
Their aspirations high;
And when their mission here is done
They'll sing beyond the sky.
'Tis sweet to contemplate the past,
With all its pleasant train
OF tender memories, for they last
While life and love remain.
Sweet sisters, may your pathway be
With lilies oyergrown,
AS emblems of your purity,
So innocently shown;
And when your day OF life departs
His promises to prove.
May God reward your faithful hearts
With everlasting love.

Company Threatened to Eliminate
Free Service

Bismarck, N. D., July 31.-There
are some differences between the city
officials and the management of the
North Dakota Independent Telephone
Co. which conducts the local ex-
change here. Years ago the city
granted a franchise to Ed. Allen for a
local exchange and under hat fran
chise h city officials were to have
use Of the long distance service with
out charge. The company has chang
ed hands a number of times and was
finally taken over by the North Dako-
Ia Independent Co., which is still
operating in this city under the old
franchise granted to Allen. But re-
Gently the company now controlling
the local exchange has threatened to
eliminate this free service to the city
and has asked the city officials to
hold that the provisions of the Allen
franchise do not apply as far as
granting this free service. The Of
f1cials are resisting such a proposition
and the result will probably make i,
necessary eventually for the present
telephone management to secure a
new franchise from the city.

U TORNADO.
Fargo Visited by Fierce Storm and
Heavy Damage IL Done.

Fargo. N. D., July 31.-One Of the
worst wind storms that eevr struck
Fargo. reaching the proportions of a
young tornado, did considerable dam
age last evening. %unrooing part Of
the engineering building at the A. c.,
driving a ten-foot board. twelve inches
wide, into the side Of the Max Mergner
residence on the north side, wrecking
a silo, and breaking down a large
number of shade trees.
The wind storm was accompanied
by a severe electrical and rain storm
and a bolt of lightning which struck
the power plant Of the Union Light,
Heat & Power Co. blew out a lot Of
fuses and did other damage, as a re-
suit of which almost the entire resi-
dence district Of the city was with
out light, except on the streets and
in a few districts, during the entire
night.
Perhaps the most unique feature Of
the storm was the damage that was
done to the property Of Max Mergner,
1871 Thirteenth street north. There is
a lot Of building going on near Mr..
Mergner's home and a board at one
of the new houses that are being
erected was picked up by the wind
and hurled with terrific force end
first into the west wall of the Mergner
residence.
