Mandan, n. D., March 25.-Anthony
Damskey and Joseph Lantz Of St. An
thony have returned from Chicago,
where they went the middle Of the
week to meet the officials of the Mil
waukee road for the purpose of re-
Questing attention to an extension to
an extension proposition. These dele
gates from the ST. Anthony farmers
and business men had a petition, sign
ed by over 200 residents of that sec
ton. asking that that road extend a
branch line from Freda, or some point
in that vicinity, up through the fertile
farming territory south and West of
this city to st. Anthony. The matter
is one that has long been agitated, not
only by those people, but by Mandan
business men.
The petition was presented, but the
men did not bring back very encour-
aging reports of it's reception. How
ever, it is impossible to tell Mt once
the effect these things have, and the
well directed effort Of those interested
may bear fruit unexpectedly, while

Why Girls Leave Home.

why Girls Leave Home" has been
launched on the literary market under
various other captions than this one
familiar 10 a large public of readers
and playgoers; each piece Of such
fiction finishes with a warning that
benefits the class to whom it is ad-
dressed just about as seriously as the
verbally loaned experience. The one
is read and the other is listened to
but after all is said and printed, ev-
cry human being is prone to discover
the real Of everything for himself
Mark Danger takes to the warn
ing" purpose in his book. The Lure
Of the Flame" his purpose is to IL
illuminate ignorance" as the basic
reason that many girls accept temp
tations that lead to disgrace, the
bIighting Of life and an ignominious
death.
In the case Of Zoe" as the author
introduces her. the father failed to
instruct her concerning the evil con-
sequences Of playing with the fast
life" as mere diversion. So Zoe leaves
home and goes straying in the path
that leads straight to hell on earth.
Wen not question Zoe's doom after
that
Zoe is pretty and vain and hasn't
much mental balance; moreover. Zoe
certainly is Willful and selfishly wants
good time We somewhat sus-
pect that If Zoe's mother had spoken
right out about the consequences Zoe
still would have taken her chances
on the fast pace. Girls like Zoe in
real life are apt to scott at preached
facts and consequences and quoted
experiences
Clearly Zoe hasn't many tender
pulses in her heart, and the few she
has snuff out speedily. She's essen
TALLY selfish. She has little sympathy
with the mother who sacrificed
health and strength that the daugh-
ter might have educational advan-
tages. Zoe shifts lovers for larger
advantages until the time comes when
she takes lovers that her debauched
condition attract There's the wild
life in Paris, then the degraded finish.
Mark Danger succeeds in assem-
bling a consistent warning in his
book. but conviction doesn't go with
the warning" that Zoes, in real life,
may be saved from the flame" by
means Of instruction or discussion
concerning the specific evil and con-
sequences. Published by the Mac

Story of Annie

The inspiring fragrance Of a true
hearts devotion is carried into glori-
Gus fruitiOn in Alexander Irvine's lat
est bOok-published by the Century
Company although the life Of the
woman who demonstrates that love
is enough" is impoverished through
the lack Of everyday necessities, even
to the extreme famine at the crisis of
the test Of her creed.
There's the ring of true conviction
in this story, and because the author
takes it's spirit and characterization
from real lie that is alive in his
heart. indeed, the book is a record
Of the lives Of the authors parents.
Annie" and Jamie" Irish peasant
folks envirOned in their own class and
set in the quantity crude town of
Antrim.
No wonder Irvine puts vital heart
throbs into the story, since as the
youngest son Of his mother and the
child nearest a replica OF her own
spiritual insight she sends him into
the world with her blessing, so put
ting the handles of Gods pillow in his
hands"
In her youth Annie" has simple
educational advantages. But her love
unites her with Jamie" Of a cruder
kind. With him she Journeys along
life, often hungry and always with
her hopes perishing: still, love is
enough" and she does her part nobly
and without a sense of sordid sacri-
flee.
The story is a beautiful lesson in
making the best Of It" in all ranks
OF life. Likewise it glows with the
panaCea Of true love in times of des-
perate need and disappointment. The
simplicity Of narration is most pleas
ing. The happenings in the little vii
large are restfully contrasting with
books of fiction on the trend of high
society in big cities"
Irvine sends this book adrlft as a
tribute to his mother-it's a lovely
running mate for Barrie's tribute to
the mother who cherished him into
fame.
