"R MUST tell you" said daddy to Jack and Evelyn, "abouta spud Coons
New Years resolutions. spud Coon had been a very naughty raccoon
i ~ during the Christmas holidays He had been stealing a great many Of
had also gone TO many dances He had always come home very much ex-
hausted and stayed In bed late every morning
"of course too many dances. too many chicken feasts and such late hours
began to make Spud Coon feel wretched. he got extremely worried about
himself, and evening-t wa New Years eve. by the way-Spud Coon de-
cded he would go to see Dr.. Red Fox. "
Now, Dr. Red Fox had been very naughty when he was q Rtle fox, but
age had given him a great deal OF common sense, and he was as clever as a
fox cal be- which is pretty clever you know. NJ
"spud Coon found him all alone in hs Office which was about a mile
through the woods from where Spud Coon lived. Dr. Red Fox was seated IN a
wooden stump reading an enormously big book, and he looked very wise with
his spectaces o n his nose
"How do you dc, Spud CoonT said Dr. Fox a he looked up from his book.
"Oh, very poorly! 1 am afraid I am going to de- replied spud Coon.
""Why, what's the trouble"
"Oh, doctor, I've very bad pains in nay head, and my legs ache, and I
don't know what is the matter with me!
"Dr. Fox took his spectacles of his nose and, leaning back OF the stump,
sighed heavily.
"WeH, I know what the trouble is, Spud Coon; you've been eating too
many chickens, and too much OF anything is bad for you. Then you've stolen
them, and your conscience is troubling you, for you really re a good coon at
heart and late hours-they are awful for you. You should get up early, go
keep IN like this and DR.. Fox looked very grave, you'll be all doubled up
with rheumatism so that your joints will get stiff and you will not be able to
walk without nmping and no me will care for you
"Spud Coon felt for a few momentst that he could never give up dances and
chicken feasts, % accustomed to them had he become, and he had greatly n
joyed his lazy and gay life But he realized how dreadful 1t would be to grow
old and infrm before his time, g he bravely decided that his New Years reso-

AN EARLY SHOPPING TRAGEDY.

The chorus sang, SHOP early!"-twaS
the chorus Of acclaim
That seeks to rescue Christmas from
a shocking shopping shame.
From every side we heard it, and we
read it in the press;
The billboards also Haunted it-'twas
everywhere, l guess.
Miss Alice Aramantha De Buster
berg began
December first to get immersed in the
early shopping plan.
She came downtown at s o'clock with
in her limousine,
And in her purse she carried rolls Of
long and lovely green.
From s to 6 she shopped and shopped
but didn't buy-not yet,
Because she didn't know for sure ex-
aCtly what to get
For Agnes, Arabella, Adriana and the
rest;
So home she had her chauffeur drive
exclaiming, what a pest"
Miss Alice Amarantha Ann came
down again next day.
From shop to shop she shopped anC
shopped in quite the selfsame way
AS yet she couldn't quite decide just
what to get for Tad,

And every eve. till Christmas eve, shC
kept on shopping early
(But never buying anything), till sht
was crazy, nearly.
On Christmas eve she came at noon
she had to have a rest;
She rushed about from shop to shoI
in fierce and frantic quest;
But everything she wanted had beer
purchased by the others.
Who had to act as Santa Claus fol
parents, sisters, brothers.

ARE PARDoNs RESPONSIBLE?

A subscriber to The Forum living at
Minnewaukan, in a communication
published in this issue, lays the blame
for the recent l~ynching at Williston
to the door Of the state pardon board.
Undoubtedly there is ground for this
accusation. There is no doubt that
the pardoning Of the life term murder
er Remington some time ago had a
direct effect, not only on the lynching
at Williston. but also on the one at
Dawson, very shortly after Remming-
ton was given his freedom.
In the communication from Mime
waukan there is an error however. The
writer states that the governor, who
is insisting on a thorough investiga-
ton into the Williston affair, was a
member Of tho pardon board that
freed Remington. This is not true,
the Remington pardon occurring
during the administration previous to
Mr.. Hanna's.
During the last session Of the legis-
1ature The Forum urged the passage
of a bill amending the laws governing
the state pardon board and taking out
of the hands Of that body the authority
to grant pardons to persons convicted
for life. In the light Of the Williston
affair, added emphasis is given to the
need for such an amendment.

The Modern Trust COMPANY.

A revised edition of The Modern
Trust Company is published this week.
The authors are Franklin Butler Kirk
bride. formerly treasurer of the Penn
sylvanla Company for Insurance on
Lives and Granting Annuities, and J.
e. Sterret, c.. P. A. The purpose of
the work is expressed as follows in the
preface OF its first issue:: 1.-THE aim of
the present volume is to describe the
functions and organization of the trust
company as 1t exists in the United
States today. It's history, which dates
from the granting of the first trust
company charter in 1922, has already
been told in a number Of interesting
papers n addresses and is, therefore,
not repeated. Practical experience.
consultation of all available literature,
the examination OF trust companies in
various parts of the country and con-
f%erences with their officers, have help
ed to make a. composite picture. The
forms and systems described are those
which have commended themselves in
the authors judgment as best adapted
to the needs Of the average trust COM
pany. '& "E'"- >& - -.
Since the books first appearance
there has been a steady and healthful
growth OF trust companies in the
United States with consequent
changes in conditions surrounding
them. This fact has necessitated a
somewhat thorough reworking OF the

Lights and Even An American Bar.
Hector Fuller in Indianapolis Star:
To drop into Bangkok, the capital Of
Siam, from the far east, especially
from China, is to feel almost at home
again.
You have to go up the River Menam
about twenty miles to reach Bangkok,
and the approach to the city is n of
the most picturesque in the world. 1t
was early one morning when my lit
tie Chinese steamer from Penang en-
tered the river. and soon, through the
lists rising from the river and the can
ais, the morning sun began ITO strike
the queer-shaped spires and towers Of
the innumerable Buddhist temples,
colored like the rainbow, that rose
above the vapor. ".
But modern hands have laid hold Of
Bangkok, and as we went ashore some
of the electric lights were still burn
ing, and as we made our way to the
hotel electric cars went whizzing by,
changing their gongs, and, In the dis
lance, mingling with the hum of a city
of nearly 100000 souls waking from
their rest, could be heard the shrill
whistle Of the modern American loco
motive.
All oriental hotels have a strange
sameness. Always the ~obsequies,
bowling servants, Japanese, siamese
and Chinese; usually the same blue
frocked im~perturbable Chinese clerk,
who watches you while o register,
and in perfect English asks you
whether you have had a good voyage
and If you propose to stay long. And
then-almost inevitably-if you be an
Englishrnan or an American and
alone, he viii add:

BETTER FARMING MOVEMENT.

Secretary-Manager Cooper of the
North Dakota Better Farming asso-
citation. and recently elected director
Of the experiment station work by the
government in North Dakota, is now
In Washington in conference with the
department. of agriculture. He will
assume his new duties Jan ! and from
that time on the experiment work and
the better farming movement will be
under one general direction.
The better farming movement was
started by business men who realized
the imperative necessity Of a change
in the farming methods in this state
and also that the station was unable
to start the plan at the time for lack
Of funds. Now that the plan is well
under way it was deemed advisable to
effect the combination that there
might be no conflict in the efforts Of
the two movements and better results
could be obtained.
Director Cooper stands high with
the officials of the department of agri-
culture in Washington and has ar
ranged to secur more direct cooper
alton from that source than ever be-
fore because of the new law which has
become effective for extension work.
He will he able to get additional men
from the department who are expert
enced and trained along the special
lines necessary in this state.
During the winter the field men of
the better farming association have
been organizing farmers clubs. The
number is now almost 500 and it is
planned to secure a total membership
in these clubs Of 100, 900 during the
coming year. This will be a great
force for improved farming and it's
combined cooperation will be under
the general direction Of Mr.. Cooper
and his lieutenants Of the college sta
ton and the better farming movement.

COMM uNICATlON,

Minnewaukan, N. D., Dec. 19.-To
The Forum: The whole country is
stirred, and justly so, by the dis
graceful lynching of the murderer at
Williston.
It is fitting that an investigation
should be made, but what is the cause
lying back Of this lynching, that
would aus ordinarily law-abiding
citizens, to take the law in their hands,
as in this case? 1t is not because
they saw the likelihood of the prison
er serving a few years and then par
doned out?
1t is right that the governor should
order an investigation but, should not
the investigation go further back, and
even start with the governor himself,
as a member of the %pardoning board,
who would pardon such q cold-blood-
ed murderer as Joe Remington and
like stamp, and the likelihood that
they would pardon Cleve Culbertson
after a few years of Imprisonment on
his good behavior?
1t may not be best to take away the
pardoning power Of the board alto
| gether, as an innocent man, sometime
might suffer; but just SO long as the
pardon board misuse their powers, and
pardon deliberate cold blooded muir
derers, just so long will we see the
lpeople take the laws in their own
hands. A Subscriber.

What Is Wealth.

Memoirs of Ii Hung Chang: But,
after all. what is wealth. My noble
and severe parent had it in goodly
quantity, but it cannot be said thai 1t
made him happy. He was far from
being a happy man. / suppose that
when he was the husband Of one wife
he thought he would be happy with
two; but when the second was there
1t appeared his idea Of happiness call
ed for another.
T am glad that 1t did--but this has
nothing to do with the argument--for
that third and lesser wife was my own
good and mild mother, who scolded
only when it was absolutely neces-
sary, and who raised a son to my
father who has been able by his own
exertions to lift himself above all the
other children and at the same time
put rice in their pockets and hams
over their shoulders. e., to assist to
wealth and Office.
And so it is with many people. ]

seemed as very gifts Of the celestial
