Tho towns on the main line are put

account of the new train schedule on
The Great Northern that goes into eff
feet the first of the month and per
maps they have reason too. To the
new branch through New Rockford
have been transferred several of tn"
passenger trains that heretofore run
over the main line fom Minot to the
Forks. The towns affected will be left
with very unsatisfactory train ser
vice and are doing their best to have
! it remedied. We, on the branch, are
never bothered by such small things
as new trains, transfers or changes il
time, consequently there is one small
advantage on being where we are.

BOUGHT HOUSES ON FIRE.
Queer Trade That Enriched Cato ard
Crassus In Ancient Rome.


One of the strangest businesses in
ancient Rome is mentioned by Juvenal
In his "Satires," and we hear of it also
from historians. 1t consisted Of buy
ing houses on fire.
The SPECTATOR hurried to the scene
attended by slaves carrying bags of
money and others carrying tools,
judged the chances of salvage and
made a bid to the distracted house
owners, who were glad to accept any
thing as a rule. The bargain struck in
all haste this earliest of fire asSurers
set his slaves TO work and secured
what he could. Sometimes even he put
out the flames and so made a coup.
1t was a business for capitalists, but
the poorest who speculated in Il small
way could hardly lose if he had pres
ence Of mind enough to grasp the
chances.
Thus Cato the elder and, above all.
Crassus laid the foundations of their
wealth. The latter had a passion for
such gambling. He gradually collected
a force Of carpenters. masons and such
artificerS - slaves, of course - which
reached 500 men. Not only dill he buy
houses on fire. but also. enlarging upon
the common practice, he made bid
for those adjoining which stood in dan.
ger. His proposals were commonly
welcome, so helpless We're the people
and so great the poril. BY this means
Crassus became the greatest owner Of
house property in Rome.

DODGED THE TRAP.
The Way DR.. Maryland Was Not Cor

DR.. James b. Angel tells in his
"reminiscences the following enjoyable
story of his college days at Brown uni
versity under the presidency Of DR..
Wayland:
The doctors son, Heman Lincoln
Wayland, one of my classmates. inner
fled from his father a very keen wit.
The passages between father and son
were often entertaining to the class.
One day, when we were considering a
chapter in the fathers textbook on
moral philosophy. Lincoln rose with an
expression of great solemnity and re-
spect and said:
''Sir, would like to PROFOUND a
question"
We'll, sir. what is it?' was the re-
ply.
well, sir" said the son. lin the
learned authors work which we are
now perusing l observe the following
remark" and then he quoted.
The class saw that fun was at hand
and began to laugh.
well. what of 2" asked the father,
with a merry twinkle in his eye.
why" continued the son. lin an
other work of the same learned author,
entitled On the Limitation of Human
Responsibility I find the following
passage"
He quoted again. Clearly the two
passages We're irreconcilable. The boys
were delighted 70 see that the doctor
was in q trap and broke into loud
laughter.
We'll, what OF it?" asked the doctor,
and his eyes twinkled still more mer-
rily.
Why" said the son, with the ut
most gravity, sit has occurred to me
that l should like to know how the
learned author recOnciles the two state
ments."
"Oh," said the father. that is sim
pie enough. 1t only shows that since
he wrote the first book the learned au-
thor has learned something"
