FARGO COLLEGE NOTES..

DR.. Geo. H. Scherer, who is engaged
in educational work at Beirut college,
Syria, emphasized the Importance Of
athletics as a force in educating the
Molsems in an address before the
students at the hill college this morn
Ing.
He said that nothing breaks down
more rapidly the caste system than
athletics. 1t puts the students on
tie same plane and the great sick
ness of Syria, laziness, superstition
n sin, he asserted, must he over
come by a rigorous system of educa-
tion. He further stated that among
the $50 boys enrolled in the college
the voluntary Y. NJ. c. A. work and
Bible study We're very effective IN
outstanding the students.
DR.. Scherer's lecture was much an
lreciated by he students and faculty.
1t was the first of the series which
viii be given each day by someone of
The prominent missionaries now in the
city. DR.. II. w. Reherd will speak to-
morrow morning.
An interesting feature of the great
missionary conference now being held
IN Fargo are the lectures on Bible
study given every afternoon this week
by DR.. Wallace N. Stearns of Fargo
college. The lectures m writings of
DIR. Stearns along this line have at
tracted much attention and he Is

The Ancients Were Extravasant.

Extravaganza n the high cost of
living are topics of the hour. We are
supposed to be spending more money
for the same things which were so
cheap years ago.
But what we spend nowadays is
nothing compared with the extrava-
gance in h good old days of the Ro-
mans. When a festive occasion oc-
CURED, then corresponding to our
Thanksgiving or Christmas, the Ro-
mans were fond of amazing their
guests with costly dainties such as
nightingales. peacocks. and the tongues
and brains of f1amingos. Caligula, the
terrible, dissolved pearls in powerful
acids in imitation of Cleopatra and
spent 100000 on a single repast. A
dramatic friend of Cicero paid over
$4,000 for a dish of singing birds; and
one famous epicure, after having ex-
hausted the sum of $4,000, 900 in his
good living, poisoned himself because
he had not quite half a million left!
Fish was a favorite feed, and the man
sions of the rich were fitted up with
fishponds for the culture of rare vari-
cites, which were sometimes caught
and cooked on silver gridirons before
invited guests who enjoyed the chang
ing colors of the slowly dying fish and
the tempting odor of the coming treat.
Tarbots, mackerels, cells oysters
were popular d%elicacies. and a fine null
let brought sometimes as much as
$240. In game the fatted hare and the
wild boar, served whole, were ranked
first.
But the Romans did not confne
their extravaganza to theeir eating. The
banquet hall was the most important
room in the house. Here were reclin-
ing sofas made of brass or OF cedar
inlaid with ivory, tortoise shell, and
precious metals, and provided with
ivory, gold, SO priced among the Ro-
mans, cost from $4,000 to $4,000
apiece. Seneca is said to nave owned
500 citruswood tables. Vases of murrha
"a substance identified by modem sci
entists with glass. Chinese porcelain,
agate, fiuorspar-were fashionable and
fabulous sums were paid for them. An
ex-consul under Nero had a murrl1a
wine iadle which cost him 100000, and
which on his deathbed he deliberately
dashed to pieces to prevent It's falling
into the hands of the grasping tyrant.
Bronze and marble statues were album
dant in the houses and gardens of the
rich, and cost from $3.50 for the work
of an ordinary sculptor to 100000 for a
genuine Phidias, Scopas, or Praxiteles.

Principally Routine Business Con-
sidered at Meeting Last Night.

The annual reports of the Fargo and
MOorhead Street Railway 20. and the
gas department Of the Union Light,
Heat & Power Co. were reported re-
ceived by Mr.. Price and after the of
fetal reading they were ordered placed
On file. The reports disclosed that
both enterprises were enjoying liberal
patronage at the hands of the citizens
of MOOrhead and the number Of
nickels taken in on the street cars
showed considerable excess over last
yea
The usual application, for the street
railway company for the lease for IN
other year Of the east end Of the
north bridge, crossing the Red river,
was received and the council ordered
that a lease for the current year be
executed by the mayor and clerk. The
company initmated that owing to the
heavy expenses during the past year,
the construction OF the interurban line
to DilWorth, etc. it had been unable
to take up the matter of the construc-
ton of a bridge of it's own.
The monthly reports of city officers
were read and ordered placed on file,
they all disclosed the different depart
ments of the city to be in good shape,
especially the water and light depart :
ment which. are making good money
for the city as usual. The council adj
journed until Feb. 20, when the vote
of the city election will be officially
c~anvassed. The newly elected mayor

Decided on Technicalities.

j. P. Prator, the plaintiff against
w! A. Leutzsinger, an itinerant re-
pairer of typewriters, whom he sued
in the local justice court, a day or two
ago, for 800 and interest, takes eX-
ception to the report of the dispo-
sition of the cases before Justice
Torson, who dismissed the action,
principally on the ground that the
amount of the suit was beyond his
jurisdiction. From remarks by the
attorney for the defendant it was in
timated in the report that there was
little basis for the action, to this the
plaintiff takes exception, he alleging
that he believed he could have es-
tablished a strong case if it had been
fully tried.

PIED PIPER OF nAMELIN
Normal Seniors to Present Mrs. Pea
body's Great Work as This
Years Class Play.

With an ensemble of about ninety
people the senior class of the state
normal school will present for it's class
play this year, The Piper, a drama in
four acts, by Josephine Preston Pea
body. This play won the Stratford
prize in 1910, and was first presented
at the Memorial theatre, Stratford-
upon-Avon. The scene Is the historic
little town Of Hamelin on the Weser,
in the thirteenth century.
The piper is hone other than the
Pied Piper of Hamelin, here boldly
recreated as a vivid human figure;
spokesman, at the same time. for a
world of unabashed idealism. The
plot grows to an end quite different
from all legendary hints. The myth
material has been Invested Of super
natural elements, so that its pathos.
humor and fantasy, its struggle and
it's climax are all wrought out of hu-
man probabilities.
Ii the characters Of the play the
services of about thirty children are
required. The caste will be as fol-

WOULD stem tide
continued From PAGE One.

Carroll and Halvorson, the immigra-
ton board would have this fund at
their disposal.
Would Advertise Entire State.
1t is contended by Mr.. Carroll and
also by Mr.. Halvorson that the state
of North Dakota does not, at the pres
ent time, have even one-fourth of the
people it should have to make living
conditions more pleasant and prosper
Gus for everyone. They believe that
with at least four times as many peo-
pie in the state as are now residing
here. each one would be better off
financial and materially, than they
are at the present time.
One thing they are after is to stem
the great tide of people who are max
ing their way into Canada, and the
idea is to acquaint those people who
are anxious to leave their homes in
other parts of the country, with the
tremendous and ~possibili-
ties of this state.
1t is expected, too, that by properly
advertising the conditions of the var
ious counties in the state, great num-
bers of people will come to this state
annually and thus hasten the day
when the population of North Dakota
will be at least four times what it is
today.
Woulo DeNSloP Nu tn0uSITIeSs
This increase in population would
not only affect the agricultural devel-
opment of the state, but would have
its effect upon the Industrial develop
ment of many of our large cities. 1t
is commended hat a relatively large
population that is accessible for mar
ket and labor purposes is essential to
increasing the population of the state.
The state is one of the richest agri-
cultural areas in the world while the
western part of the state is underlaid
with vast and immensely valuable de-
posits of Ignite coal.
With the establishment of an immi-
grafton board in each county, the par
ticular advantages Of each particular
county and thus of the entire state
would be brought, through adyertis-
ing matter Of various kinds, to the
attention of people who are DESTROYS
of changing their locations. With a
reasonably large sum Of money at
their disposal for the issuance of such
advertising matter, much good could
be accomplished, it is believed, and
the men who are fathering the bill
are confident that wonderful results
will follow its passage as a law.
