WOMAN SEEKS HER AFFINITY
Travels Far and Wide Looking for
Unknown Who Dying Husband
Said She Should Wed

New York.-The most remarkable
story told for many moons to ship
news reports was recited here by
Mrs. Eugene Williams, beautiful,
wealthy, aged nineteen, and a widow,
as she sailed away for Sweden to find
an affinity she has never seen, nor
whose name she does not know.
My home was in Detroit" said Mrs
Williams. When / was sixteen, Mr.
Williams, who lived in Pittsburgh. met
me. 1t was love at first right We
we're married. Two years ago he died
On his deathbed he called rue to him.
Il don't want you to marry again
unless you marry one OF my boyhood
chums, said my husband. lie lives in
Sweden. He Ii your perfecl aftinity.s
Before he could say any more he died
Three times since then have
sailed to foreign lands, locking for
my affinity A dozen times thought

and here the little widow displayed
a hand covered with solitaires-.'but
each time / found 1t was not the right
man. l don't know his name, don't

the girl waving a farewell from aboard

FREIGHT IS inter. Estate
Attorney General Gives Out His Yer
sion of Traffic Over the Great North
ern- Moorhead- Breckenridge Line,

Freight traffic between Moorhead
and Breckenridge, Mimi, on the Great
| Northern. is held by Atty. Gen. Lyn-
! don A. Smith to be Interstate because
the line runs for miles in North
! Dakota, crossing the Red river at
Brushvale into North Dakota n re-
turning again to Minnesota at Wah-
peton, across the river from Brecken-
ridge. Accordingly, freight shipments
on his line will take Interstate rates
and will not be affected by the Cash
man law.
The attorney general practically
confirmed the railroad and warehouse
commission when it issued an order
q short time 6 to the effect that
farmers at Comstock, Rustad, Wolver-
ton. etc. could route their grain ship
ments via Moorhead if they so desir-
ed, because it vas the natural course
to pursue for such traffic. The COM
mission declined to pass on the several
points dealt with by the attorney
general. The case at bar was
initiated by farmers at Comstock who
placed their contention before the
railroad and warehouse commission.
The situation is very similar to
that Of the Great Northern line be-
tween the twin cities and Duluth,
which runs for several miles in Wis
~consin, and hence is beyond the jul
risdiction of the Minnesota railroads
and warehouse commissions On the
other hand, the Northern Paciflc's
line to Duluth, which is wholly with
in the state, is subject to supervision
by the commission.
1t is believed that the effect Of the
ruling as to the Moorhead -Brecken-
ridge question will be to divert near
ly all the freight traffic over the
Great Northern between the twin
cities n Moorhead ove the line in
question, as it is expected that the
interstate rates will be lower than
the eastman distance rates.

Splendid Amateur Actina.

Large and delighted audiences
greeted the company of local players,
the M. c. D. c., Tuesday and Wednes-
day evenings when Elinor Marron's
rural comedy, The Dairy Farm, was
presented IN the stage Of st. Joseph's
hall. The time of the play was sum
mer and Christmas in 1854 and late
fall and Christmas in 1856. The por-
trayals Of the different characters
were splendid and there were several
instances Of the demonstration Of nat
ural ability in the depletion of real
rural life. The play was staged under
the direction Of Joe Laden; whose
work appeared as that of a veteran in
the production of a charmingly writ
ten play as The Dairy Farm is. The
staging and scenery AIDED greatly to
the success Of the production which
heartily pleased the many who at
tended and who so emphatically ex-
pressed their approval. Mr.. Laden
showed conspicuous discrimination in
the selection Of Owen Lamb as the
squire who owned the farm and he
was strongly supported in all Of the
ClimaXeS.

Fine New Library
Dedicated at Leonard

On Wednesday, Nov. 20, there gath
tween 400 and 500 persons to be pres
ent at the transfer Of the newly erect
ed and newly fitted building, in future
to be used as. a public library, from
the hands of Edgerton Watts, who has
BEEN postmaster in Leonard for the
past thirty-one years, to the town and
township. The building was erected
as a memorial to Mrs. Mary e. Hewitt
Watts, wife of Mr.. Watts. In the
morning, soon after the arrival Of the
train, the school children and towns
W. Danford led in prayer. j. l.. Smith
read a history of the progress of the
library, and Mrs. ,Budlong delivered
an address on what the library ean
to the children, after which they ad-
journed until 1880 p. m. Mr.. Green Of
the bank acted as chairman.
In the afternoon n quartette from
Casselton rendered some splendid
music.
o L. B. Ham was the speaker OF
the day and praised the citizens Of
this active little town in one of the
states best agricultural sections, for
their progress and for the example
which has thus been set to other
North Dakota communities.
SFGGiT TO FlonGeFs
Credit for this new evidence Of
North Dakota progressiveness was
pointed out by Atty. J. A. Smith, first
Eigerton Watts. n Of Leonard's
| pioneer citizens, who for many years
has had in view something of this
nature, something which would serve
to aid and assist his neighbors and
fellow townsmen and also serve as
a token Of esteem to his friends and
associates who have made this part
Of Cass county what it Is.
The plans Of Nh. and Mrs. Watts
were interrupted by the death Of Mrs.
Watts a few years ago, but were later
taken up by Mr.. Watts, who decided to
carry out the plans which meant so
much to his wife.
Accordingly he set aside a plot OF
land to the northeast Of the village
and began, in 1911, the erection Of the
library building, a modern f1reproof
structure and .upon the completion OF
same presented 1t with it's contents,
consisting of 700 volumes, to the peo-
pie of the township.
The people, at the last general cleo
ton, voted a small tax upon themselves
to provide for maintenance, also
elected the following board Of direc-
tors, who serve without compensation:
Fl. P. Green, president; Ole Anderson,
J. L. Smith, Fred Schroeder and Mrs.
r. E. Alt.
Mrs. BudIong Speaker.
Mrs. Minnie Budlong Of the state Ii
brary board followed Mr.. Smith as
speaker and talked entertainingly re-
garding the books to be found in the
travelling library loaned to the local
people by the state. Part Of her mes
sage was particularly for the little
folks and it was noted during the
time given to inspection Of the build
ing that many of the boys and girls
were already looking for he books or
which she spoke.
The speaker also had a word Tor
the adults, pointing out the value OF
good books as a source of inspiration
and the means of creating vision so
necessary to the building of a sue
cessful life.
