~ What Becomes
OtOTV Of New Year.
Resolutions
Father Time Held an
HourgIass.

THE children had been considering what New Years resolutions they
ought to make
more" Jack announced
"Apd / suppose I ought to resolve not to read 50 many story books"
sighed Evelyn. ,.a ##
ut isn't any use to make the resolution unless ron intend to keep it."
daddy warned. 81 had a dream the other evening I thought / stood In the
palace of old Father Time. In one hand he held his scythe and I'm the other
the hourglass with which he measures the length of the year.
81 noticed that almost the last grain of sand had run out of me end Of the
glass into the other, and 80 / was not surprised when he cried in q loud voice:
"Tt Is finished and a scrrowful old man stepped up and took the old hour
glass away from Father Time.
THAT'S the old year. one Of the court people whispered to me-
"PCor old fellow; he's leaving u.s.. We shall never see him any more
some Of those in the hall murmured. He did some good things and a a
jolly good friend, but here comes the New Year See how much handsomer
and cleverer he is
"a charming young mar was stepping up to the throne Of Father Time.
handing him another hourgiass #H# @
"T have here some young friends that / would like II introduce to your
majesty the youth said. Then noticed a hong line OF little creatures stand
ing behind him. ~
"These are the New Years resolutions Of my new subjects N earth; the
New Year said. They are to be my little servants during my reign
"Ah, indeed! Father Time said dryy. I hope they may be a healthier
lot than those Of last year. There; think you are going to lose one nowH
"And every one turned to look at one of the little resolutions that turned
suddenly pale. #% =E##" t"## z@#@s&,
why exclaimed the New Year. that's Jacks resolve always to hang
his hat IN the hook in the hanr
ICES forgotten the little resolve mOaned. I'm a broken resolve And
the poor little thing faded away before u eyes
EVERY time a resolve is broken there is less chance OF a strong, healthy
resolve taking his place next year. If the children knew this perhaps they
would be more careful Father Time said kindly.
"TN mention it to them, your majesty l cried. And then I opened my
eyes. 1 had been mapping in my easy chair by the sitting room fire."

The Orpheum's Bill,

Manager Fowler had another of those
very pleasing musical numbers in his
house yesterday for the opening of the
last half of the week and the three
audiences of the house were delighted
with the act. 1t was the Hoyt Musical
Comedy CO., composed of male and
women singers, who make real music
and have a very musical comedy, which
is produced with much appropriate
scenery. It is entitled Musical FrivoI-
tiles, and made a big hit.
John Z~Ouboulaski, known the world
over for his comic pictures from clay,
as well as his musical ability, had a
good act. His work in clay was ex-
CeedinEly good and the musical part
Of his fifteen minutes on the stage was
we'll spent. Miss Evelyn Dare rend-
cred the pretty song, Who Knows, in d
most effective manner and secured an
encorc Mr.. and Mrs. Blessing have
a very pleasing sketch, A Test of
Friendship, which was nicely done, and
has some pathos as we'll as a good deal
Of wholesome comedy. Terry & Frank
known as the dancing demons, gave a
fine terpsiChorcan exhibition of &C
CentriCity and fancy steps that was
most pleasing. 1t is a show hat will
please all manner Of theatre gOers and
all shows at this house open and close
with the Orpheumscopc and the Coscio
orchestra.

viii be received with popular acclaim.
That Is precisely what the people of
the United States, smarting under the
sense of inl%personal injustice that at
fects the community more than the
individual, have been seeking for half
a dozen ear past.
If the new president lives up to this
solemn declaration, and there is album
dant reason to believe he will, this
country will have realized the era Of
social justice that Colonel Roosevelt
and his 100000 supporters sought to
bring about in the last campaign.
Those who know the workings of
Colonel Ro0seVelt's mind are confident
that the magnificent fight be made In
the fall for a change in the methods
of governmental administration was
wholly based on his desire to bring
such reforms about, and not at all on
any personal ambition to hold office.
1t will be found in the future that
In all undertakings on the line Of his
Stanton speech Mr.. Wilson will have
no flrmer supporter than Colonel
Roosevelt.

Gall Stones Removed
Without an Operation.

After suffering for one year with gall
stones, / was told by a friend to try
Swamp-Root. I began with the fifty
cent size and after using four bottles
found hat I was much better. Then
began using the larger size bottles and
after taking three bottles l was cured.
That has been seven years ago this
summer and 1 have never been sick
since that time from this disease.
I can cheerfully recommend DR.. Kill
mer's Swamp-Root to any one for kid
ney and bladder troubles hoping it may
do as much good for many people as it
did for me.

FRIDAY, JAN 8. 1918.
MADE IN FARGO.

What is the need of a Home Pro-
that came from every side when the
adea was first preached in Fargo about
q Year ago by Secretary Slime Of the
commercial club. Surely our home
people know what is made here-and
anyhow there are not enough goods
made in Fargo to make a showing.
Those were some of the objections
made by the manufacturers them
selves.
But the first Home Product show
was an astonishing revelation. Was
that really made in Fargo" That
was the common question at the big
building crowded to the doors with
the things that are made in this city.
1t was a potent proof of the need Of
Publicity.
This year the show will far Surpass
last years effort. The arrangements
arc now practically complete, as an
nounced in The Forum last night.
Daring the year a number of new
Enterprises have come TO Fargo and
tho whole show will be on u more
elaborate basis.
Following are some of the things
made in Fargo that will be shown
at the show: fur goods; carpets
and rugs; trunks. v~alises, hand bags
and other goods. along that line;
crackers and all the goods made in
up to date biscuit factories; adjust
Rbic bed springs-something new and
unique; four and it's by products;
electricity and gas; butter. ice cream
and by products; florists goods; silos,
ali kinds Of up-to-date show cases;
pianos (assembled); hair dressing
goods Of all kinds; confectionery;
metal culverts; sash NJ doors; cOrnice
and other ornamental metal works;
iron foundry manufactures; awnings,
tents etc, Cmade in MoOrhcad); all
kinds of welded goods, plated and
uletalized goods; picture frames; iron
castings and other foundry products;
home roasted coffee; harnesses and
other leather goods; mattresses, feather

pranted and bound products, not for
gettfng the newspapers; hand painted
chinaware; bottled goods, including
drinks, extracts etc; tanned goods;
wool and knitted goods.
1t is quite a formidable showing
and the best part of it is-as will be
amply proved to those VINO visit the
big show. that the Fargo manufacture
ed goods stand the test of worth.
They take their places on the market
and win out in competition with the
factory made goods of the entire
country. Those who come to Fargo
Tri-Stste convention week should not
fail to take in" this show. 1t will
amaze even those who think they are
familiar with North Dakota manu-
featured products.

In THE HOTEL LOBBlES

H. B. Plummer, who used to run the
Commercial hotel down at Casselton,
was a visitor to the city a few days
and was a guest at the Waldorf.
He is at present selling insurance. DO
you know hat | find there is just as
much kicking among my customers
now as there was when | was a regu-
lar boniface,'' said Mr.. Plummer. 1T
appears to me TO be the nature of most
mankind to groWl. They used to growl
at the food and kick at the service,
but after I had left the hotel business
TO 90 into insurance | was almost pos
tive that the kicking would cease. l
couldn't conceive how it was possible
for d man after he had paid his in
surance and secured his policy, to find
anything to complain about. And yet
they do.
Let me tell you something" he con-
tinued. Il insured an Old fellow for
$4,000 and for a time he appeared to
be we'll pleased, then he got to groWl-
ing and l asked him what was the nat
ter and he told me the policy cost too
much. l explained the usual story of
having to pay a good price to get some
thing that was really reliable, and that
stopped him for a time. Then the next
time | anne around his way he started
in again, and as true as | tell you,
when | asked him what was the trouble
he said that he didn't feel like paying
any more, as there was no more show
of his dying then than there was when
he first took out the policy. Yes, hu-
mainly is made up Of queer critters.
Willis Melville, a prominent attorney
of the city of Chicago, has been pay
ing an extended visit to the northwest
and stopped off in Fargo for a few days
to see some friends. Il certainly am
very much pleased with what l have
seen in this city" said he. 1T is filled
with business men who seem to know
just exactly what they are doing and
who proceed to do what they intend
to with dispatch. / have been over the
state considerably in the past few days
and I find the same kind Of hustle out
in the so-called rural districts that
find here. North Dakota is a great
state"
Donald Campbell, the we'll known
farmer and business man of Hanna,
ford, this state, was a visitor to the
city a day or two ago and was a guess
at the Waldorf. "Hannaford is .
growing section" said he land we me
with good crops the past season, and
better still, we got the most Of oul
grain marketed, but of course not with.
out some trouble. While T canno
name any particular buildings that ar,
to be erected in u locality, still
hear of several of them" In addition
to being a farmer, Mr.. Campbell is alsI
a horse raiser n dealer of some mag
nitude and he finds the business to b.
profitable.

MAKING THE PERFECT RACE.

Eugenics-newest interest of social
npheavers-was only a study of
heredity a few years ago, unknown to
most people, pursued by persons with
a passion for getting figures gathered
together into orderly tables. Eugenics
Is d different thing today. 1t is a
programme.
1t is proposed, through eugenics, TO
make man all over, make him disease
proof and passion proof, strong as an
OK and a god in intellect. AS the I'M
ut are eliminated, the strain is to
Improve. AS the weak are suppressed,
human weakness will cease to nullify
and generally muss up the plans and
specifications Of the ~upheavers.
There seems only one serious fault
% find with the programme of
~eugenics. 1t doesn't match up with
history. Lord Bacon was at once a
moral leper n a giant mentality.
Peter the Great was great in spite of
epilepsy and something of the same
sort, is remembered of Napoleon. Cecil
Rhodes, by the eugenics standard, was
nnfit, being a consumptive, and would
have been isolated early in life. Keats
would have come in for the same
rigorous treatment.
IL the rule that alcohol leads straight
to insanity were true, all the English
Scotch and Irish stock in this genera
ton Of Americans would be in asylums
tor the insane. or those for imbeciIes
For the foreoears OF that stock were
entitled to all the first prizes as heavy
drinkers.
Eugenics is no doubt an interesting
subject. It must be pleasant to think
of identifying humanity as florists
beautIfy flowers, or doing with it al
breeders OF cattle and race horses do
I'm the end that mankind may be per.
feet. The difficulty comes in decidins
on who shall have license to beger
che perfect race

At the Grand.

The very prettiest production that
has yet been given by the George Web
ster Stock Co, is that for the last half
OF this week, when Marching Through
Georgia was the vehicle which the
players rode farther into the affections
of the people of Fargo. The scenic eff
tects Of this bill were great, the n
great scene of a full southern home,
was simply grand. The different char
aCterS were exceedingly well sustain
ed. Miss Madel Won VOIner in the star
part Of Queenie. had a very pleasing
character to portray and she did nicely.
Madge Carson, as Nanny, did the
character Of the kindly old negress to
perfection. and the Molly Hatters Of
Miss Zollman was excellent, while the
male character Of Miss Gillian was also
Well done. Pat Carson as the Irish
sergeant had a good part and made
plenty of fun. The General Mason of
Joe Golden was also well sustained.
and 50 was the Corporal of Charles
Hart. Jack Carleton had a good part
in Lieutenant Crowley and the work
Of {. c. Miller as the confederate Of
iiCer was also well done. The scenic
effects were very fine and the audi
cnccs, all large, were very much pleas
ed with the performance, for the piece
was well played.
