for three days, when the southern army was defeated. s###
Among the soldiers In the Union army on the day when the lighting began

TROUBLE FoR AUTO OWNERS.

Recently the Fargo Automobile a
eompel all local auto owners to get
their state licenses, There are many
local owners who have neglected this
little matter and they are liable to
arrest at any time. The local club
has given the owners until June / to
get their licenses, and after that they
will see that prosecutions are made.
That the trouble is No confined to
Fargo but is statewide is evident from
The Bismarck Tribune:
There is trouble for a large number
of automobile owners in this state,
when things get to working. There
is a law in this state which makes it
the duty of the chief of police and
other officers to arrest any person
running an automobile without a Ii
eense. Not only in Bismarck are
there many of them, but they are all
over the state.
Willisten has a committee which
has written to the secretary Of state
for a list of those who have secured
licenses for this year. This has
been forwarded and it Is understood
that this committee intends to have
arrested all paIftleS who have not Sc
cured licenses. The money from this
fund goes into the good foads fund,
and the friends of good roads in every
county in the state intend to make
1t their business to see that there is
q license for every automobile which
runs in the state.
Just as an instance Of how easy it
is for a law to fall into disuse. 1t is
cited that he demand SO far this
year for automobile licenses has fall
en- off at the office of the secretary
OF state In a woeful degree. This
would Indicate that the automobile
owners are not paying the necessary
attention to the law requiring the IL
censes. This has been noticed by the
good roads association and it is the
intention to commence a~rresting those
who have no license, and shutting up
their cars till they have the neces-
sary license.
About twenty arrests over the state
have already been reported through
this law, Inc it is expected that they
will follow thick and fast. The police
and other officials should make it their
business to get after the violators for
sin of omission, in order to save
themselves the discomfort Of a repri-
mand from the mai higher up, and
every n of whom is to receive his
instructions within a few days.
The state wants the money.

There liz no doubt that so far ais dis

SAFER SCHOOLS DEMANDED.

The United States bureau Of edu-
is set out hat in various states, I'M
safe school houses continue to be con-
structed. This is lone in the face Of
appalling disasters which have result
ed from the veritable f~iretraps which
were being used for educational pur-
poses.
The report indicates that Ohio,
Massachusetts, and Kansas have learn
ed the lesson taught in such calamities
as the ~Collingwood catastrophe, as in
those states the school houses being
built r so constructed as to insure
the safety of the children, but it is
pointed out in the report that other
states have failed to observe the
necessary requirements for safety.
The report criticises and, condemns
what it terms "gingerbread' school
houses, which are built to tickle the
fancy of school boards at the expense
Of safety and other efficient qualities,
such as comfort and light.
1t is surprising that the people of
each community, who furnish the
children for the schools, do not com
pine in forcing a complete reform in
this most important matter, for it is
their business to see that their child
rem have the proper protection against
possible fire, and wherever there is a
IRE trap in the construction of a
school house it should be removed,
though it should necessitate the
destruction Of the building.
1t is not enough to train the
children in an adequate fire drill
which, at a given signal, win enable
them to leave the building promptly
and without confusion. While it i:

sufficient protection and does not TAX

THE LAST OF THE MoHIcANs

Ed. Pierce, in Hits and Mrs: One
warm day when the flies were around
the paste pot, a tramp printer blew in
and, after a few desultory remarks
about the weather, took off his left
shoe and emptied the gravel contained
thereln on the floor. He said he had
peer Following a gravel train for two
days, and he guessed 1t was too fast
for him, n he would rest up for a
spell II he could get a little work. He
looked as fl as a blown-out tire and
the foreman gave him an order on a
restaurant for a meal.
When he came back he took off his
dress coat n dug up a thirteen-em
rule and the foreman gave him a mage
of tax list copy and he went to work.
BY. 8 O'Clock he had a galley UP, an
unheard of thing in the office. He ask
ed no questions, but pounded up the
names of delinquent property
with their "swA" and 'tneA" with
sections and ranges to match, as
though he had known them all his life.
After supper he came back and cor
rected the proof. It was as clean as g
Sunday shirt, and the editor of the pa
per was so pleased that he gave him
a pair of shoes, a cigar and So of
the till.
The old print said his name was
Gordon Farmer, but he worked more
like a Gordon setter. He had held cas-
es on The Omaha Bee, st. Paul Globe,
and ten years ago he owned a house
and lot, rode on vanished cars and
had his laundry delivered to him every
Saturday night; often took a bath,
and had his name on a cup in the BAR
Der shop. But the machines took the
place of hand composition and he be-
gan travelling around the country,
working when opportunity and neces-
sity combined against him. He was
sick of rowing n vas looking for a
steady job.
The editor offered him SIS a week
and a spring bed in the stock room to
sleep on. The old print accepted the
offer, but the So in cash was his down
fall, and the next morning he was
sleeping under a grain door in a brown
boxcar going south.
