Foy fved his gaze on the fat mans
over his face. His eyes became dull
and staring. His jaw hung slack and
loose. Nv

Conan now seemed to lose all pa

"Oh. hang it," he said, "give him a
ring or two and let us have some

But the fat man, tearing his pudgy
hand from the persistent Foy's grasp
rose and ran full tilt for the door.
"Conductor,s stop!" he shouted.
And he leaped off two blocks before
Madison square was reached.

EARLY o~UAKERESSES.
Mary Fisher the First to Be Publicly
EIoaaed In England.

FiOS9SS th -NS'0'Ns
No feature Of the early Quaker move
ment was 80 surprising to contempt
rary historians as the prominent part
taken by women of all classes and po-
sitions in spreading its message.
'"They were not a whit behind the
men," remarks one seventeenth CEN
fury chronicler, "in courage or In con-
tempt to material obstacles, initiating
them not out Of a womanly precip1-
fancy and boldness, but upon a de-
terminate advice " d . changing, as
it were, their sex and being transmit
ed from women to men,"
A staid matron named Elizabeth
Hooton was the first to be convinced"
by Fox's teaching and became In the
year 1649 the first woman preacher
among the Quakers. Ann Dowfer, the
young daughter Of a clergyman, car
ried the message to London, gathering
round her the nucleus Of that Society
Of City Friends which grew to be the
model and rallying ground for other
towns and nations. Margaret, the
wife of Judge Fell, was the nursing
mother Of the infant church-the CEN
ter Of all it's activities, the helper and
the ultimate appeal in all its distresses.
Mary Fisher, a servant girl from
Yorkshire, heads the long list Of heroic
sufferers In England who were public
" fogged for their religion. She, too,
with an older woman, was the pioneer
who brought the Friends doctrine to
New England in 1866 and tasted the
first fruits of the persecution which
was meted out to her fellow believers.

Beginning Of Johnson.

"The late J. A. Johnson first ap-
peared on the horizon Of the city's
politics as a formidable figure in 1885
when he was elected mayor the
first time. He only served one year
then. He was succeeded the next year
by the late Charles Scott, a business
partner of the late Joseph Lamont,
who was deputy y. S. marshal under
Mr.. Shea when he died not long ago.
Mr.. Scott served from 1886 to 1887.
1.-THE late Maj. Alanson w. Edwards,
founder of The Forum, then vas elect
ed in 1887 and served until 1888. He
was afterward United States consul
to Montreal under President Mckinley.
Major Edwards was the last one-year
term mayor Of Fargo for in 1888 the
tenure was extended to two years.
Seth Newman "a the first two
year term mayor. He did not serve
his full term for he resigned on March
"a, 1890. He is now dead. Martin
Hector vas chosen by the city council
u fill his unexpired term Of about a
month. Mr.. Hector was succeeded by
the late Col, w. F. Ball who was
mayor from 1850 to 1892.
Emerson H. Smith was then elected
mayor and served n term until 1894,
and it was during his administration
that the big fire occurred. Colonel
Ball was reelected in 1894 and served
until 1896. Then came the second
johnson epoch.
johnson Three Terms.
1.-THE late Mayor Johnson was elected
mayor the second time in 1895. He was
reelected in 1898 and it was in his
second administration that I became
treasurer. In 1900 he was re-electeC
for a third consecutive term, though Ii
reality it was his fourth.
Mayor Johnson had a personalit!

Mr.. Elliott was elected to succeed

of mayors.
when 1 think back over all these
years and my association with these
different men, many of whom are gone,
1t brings a rather sad thought. I've had
my fights with a good many of them,
but when alls said and done none of
them were poor fighters. 1t was give
and take and I think 1 did my share at
giving"
Those who remember the strenuous
career of the treasurer will know that
this is true. He was first elected In
1898 to succeed John Urion, who resign
ed the office soon after his election,
Mr.. Mitchell won every political fight
for the treasury thereafter until 1908
just ten years. Sometimes big fights
were made against him, but he wealth
cred the battle. IN 1908 he was defeat
ed by w. G. Laizure, formerly of the
Merchants National bank But in 1915
he was reelected over Mr.. Laizure. IN
1912 he had no opposition.
AS the watch dog Of the treasury
and Lord Nelson's private secretary
Mr.. Mitchell for years has had a wide
reputation OVer the state.

FATE.

Two shall be born the whole wide world
apart,
And one, a maiden lonely M remote.
Dreaming the world-old dream forever
new,
Shall write her name upon a new-laid
egg,
Or paste her address on a butter crock,
Or slip it in a crate of summer
squash
A box of berries or a bag of beans;
And send it forth freighted with deep
desire.
And one who waits beyond the hazy
hills.
: Below the utmost purple rim Of earth
In some far, stately city by the sea,
Shall get the egg. the box, the butter
jar;
iShall cas- in his heart the name 1t

And by a sweet phychometrizing know
It's message, scOffed by others, is for
him;
And find his own hearts home. And
this is fate.

Gotham's Potter's Field.

In New York's potter's field more
than 5000 bodies are buried in the
course of a year. New York's pauper
dead make it necessary that as many
as eighty workmen and half a dozen
keepers be maintained at potter's field
all the time. The "feld' Is on Harris
island, at the entrance to the sound,
eighteen miles up the East river, and
the gravediggers, drivers and general
e%aretakers are prisoners from the
workhouse force on Blackwells island,
with a head keeper and several as
~sistants, not prisoners, to supervise
them.

MITCHELL TALKS
OF BYGONE DAYS
CITY TREASURER, OLDEST CITY
OFFICIAL IN POINT OF SERVICE,
LOOKS BACK THROUGH THE,
YEARS AND RECALLS AssoCIA-,
TON WITH DIFFERENT MEN.

, Charles H.. Mitchell. Fargo's ener-
getic city treasurer virtually since
1898, Is the oldest city official in the
point Of service and the only survivor
Of the original group OF men who en-
tered the present city hall when it was
first opened for occupancy.
Mr.. Mitchell has been a resident Of
Fargo for many years and clearly re-
calls the growth of the North Dakota
metropolis since it was virtually a.
prairie trading post. In one way or
fed with the life of the town since it's
incipiency and has been closely asso-
ciated with all the officials since the
first mayor of Fargo, George Egbert,
in 1875.
During his political career in the
city, the treasurer a earned q Tepu-
tation for being a vigorous fighter.
one not afraid to stand for his con-
Victions n one who has been the
central figure in many battles. He was
no respecter of persons and would
just as soon tell the mayors Of the
city and the district judge where to
get off as he would the humblest citi-
zen on the streets, as will be remem-
bered by his memorable conflicts with
the late Mayor Johnson, Judge Pol
lock and others.
MitcheII's "reminiscences.
"In the years l have been connected
with the city's affairs, both in the
council and as treasurer said the
treasurer today, II have seen a good
many men come and go. There have
been great times in this old town In
it's official family.
One of the sad features Of 1t to me
is that so many or the old leaders are
passing. New kings have risen over
this Egypt which knew not Joseph. ]
have been thinking of all of Fargo's
mayors. once active men, and how
many of them have departed from this
sphere.
"When I was first elected treasurer
Mr.. Johnson was mayor. He was the
political WarhOrse who stamped his
name upon this community in a way
that will not soon be forgotten. Mr.
Johnson was the only man who died
in the office and who served as the
city's chief executive the longest. We
never particularly agreed as the ole
timers can testify, but the thought OF
him brings back a breath of the days
when we all were younger.
