 Can you tell the origin or significance of the term "blue stocking" as one app piled to literary women?
 It was a derisive epithet for which women were in no way responsible. In or about 175o Mrs. Elizabeth Mon tagu, a woman of means and high so- ciaI standing in London made an ef- fort to introduce into society a more intellectual tone by holding assemblies at which literary conversation and dis cussion were to take the place of cards and gossip. Although her assemblies were primarily of women, men were not excluded, and one who embraced the opportunity to improve his mind by contact with bright women was Benjamin Still1ngheet, a well known naturalist and Inguist of the period, who was the author of a poem on Earthquakes and .'An Essay on Con Yersation." The Montagu assemblies were not dress affairs, and because MT. StiIfingf1eet invariably appeared in blue worsted stockings instead of the con ventional black silk of the period the wits of the day called Mrs. Montagu's lady friends blue stockings, and from that the term was applied to literary women generally. Mrs. Montagu built one of the finest residence houses in London, and entertained the London chimney sweeps every May day as long as she lived She died in 1900.

FAIR Prizes
WORTH While
Manager Gilbreath Wants Farm
ers AL Over the State to Send
, In Their Very Best.

One farmer who exhibited at the
State Exposition in Bismarck last
year took away over $50 in cash pre-.
miums for his grain and vegetables.
Others were awarded premiums that
were valued at much more than the
above amount, but were in the form
of merchandise. What the Exposition
management wants most is the indi-
vidual exhibitor, who takes pride in
displaying the products of his farm.
These kind of entries in numbers
means success to the Exposition.
Manager Gilbreath wishes to empha.
size the fact that he wants the farm.
ers all over the state to prepare their
best samples Of sheaf and threshed
grain, grasses, corn on the cob and
in stalk, vegetables, etc. Anyone
who has anything in the line Of prod
ucts of the farm that he or she is
proud Of, can exhibit the same for
$1.00. A person can enter all classes
for the same fee of $1.00. For in.
stance, a sheaf of grain or grasses, a
peck of anything, 10 ears of corn, the
required number Of vegetables, ETC.,
can all be entered for the total OF
$1.OO. In a very short time the new
premium list, giving the official mum.
Der of prizes, will be off the press and
will he mailed out over the entire
state. To insure prompt delivery,
write w. G. Gilbreath, Commissioner,
for one of these lists and it will be

largely because ofESam Green. He is
our peacemaker s&nd most faithful
player. He has played second alto in
the band for st~hirty:five years without
a promotion. and is by all odds the
worst player ] ever saw, being only
entirely at home IN the key of G., and
he cant play three four time to save
his soul. But his devotion is marve-

band just this night. And when the
dispute between the factions gets to
the point where. Ed Smith begins
gathering up his doll things Sam in

"'Come on now, boys,' he pleads,
we've got to get this piece worked
up. You're all good players. Why, if
P~aynesville had you fellows she'd
have a band. That was my fault that
time. I'll get this here thing right
soon. III. sit out In the trio and you
fellows take IT,
"And pretty soon, as Sam argues,
Eds proud heart softens and he
comes back with a glare at Cooney.
Then Sim Atkinson raps on his music
rack and says, Gentlemen and from
bone players as he has for a quarter
of a century; and a minute later the
band is tumbling eagerly through its
piece once more, all feuds suspended
in the desperate effort to come out
all w at the end with no surplus
bars to be played by some founder

LOCAL TALENT
Of High ORDER
Music Lovers Of City Delighted
With Program Given BY
Methodist Choir.

An audience Of between 300 and 400
enjoyed one of the rarest musical
treats of the season last night, in
the Methodist church, the occasion
being the program given by the mem
bers Of the Methodist choir. Few,
II any, oonN9ft companies that have
visited Bis1llgfck have put Q n u inner

local talent revealed is q revelation
to many, and Mr.. Vandever's work as
leader cannot be too highly praised.
The program was too uniformly sex

for the voices which took the differ

the wonderful harmony of the voices
was particularly noticeable, and call.
cd for enthusiastic encores.
The instrumental selections which
were to have been given by Miss
Flora Harmon had to be omitted,
much to ~theAgeneral disappointment,
because of the illness of Miss Har-
mon. The gap in the program was
filled by Mr.. Vandever, with a solo.
Mr.. Vandever sang the Toreador
song and other selections in Italian,
and showed himself q fluent master
Of both the music and the words. It
Is a source of great regret to all who
know MI. and Mrs. Vandever that
they are leaving the city next week,
for Miles City, where they will take
up their permanent residence.
The several declarations on the
program were most excellently given;
and brought down the house. It would
be difficult to imagine . program of
more uniform high quality and the
people of Bismarck are indeed FORUM
ate to have so capable a group Of
talent in their midst. The complete

IS STRANGER
Jay CALDWELL?
Mysterious ~. G. R." Recently
\. Brought to Dickinson, Seems
Same Man.

Everything seems to indicate that
the mysterious man who was brought
to Dickinson recently is really Jay
Allen Caldwell, the young man who
disappeared SO Strangely seven
years ago. 1t is alleged that Cald-
well q%uarreled with his father, James
A. Caldwell at that time, and that
the latter struck him on the head
with a spade. MY
At all events the young man dis
appeared, and az mysterious ~. C.
R" whose identity has been long in
doubt was picked up in, Minnesota,
a few years ago. The man who has
been brought to Dickinson has a de
preston In his skull above his left
peye, and a long scar running upward
from it, 81 Z 9as ig,rs
An operation was performed on the
head Of -. G. r." manchester about
two years ago. in the hope that he
would regain his speech, and the Iuse
Of his paralXzed right side, but 1.-The
man in Dickinson is still unable to
express himself, beyond the exclama-
ton 'Hi.hi" for eyes," and a vigor-
GUS shake Of the head for "no." He
recognized Mrs. Luff, sister of the
missing Jay Caldwell, and 1he meet
Ing between them was touching.
He has recognized mauy people of
Dickinson and vicinity, and many
there have positively identified him
as the missing man.. There seems
very little doubt Of his Identity,
though Mr.. and Mrs, Caldwell re-
fused to recognize the partially para
lyzed man as Jay Allen Caldwell.
The Dickinson Recorder.Post says:
Seemingly the mystery surround
ing ~. G. R." and the disappearance
Of Jay Allen Caldwell may possibly
be unraveled when the strange man
now in, Dickinson, through his
friends, brings his case before the
court. An attorney has been engas-
ed to represent him in a suit to re
cover property supposed to belong tc
Jay Allen Caldwell. 1t is expected
papers will be filed today, and elimi-
mating the many wild unfounded
theories advanced during general dis
cussion of the case here within the
week, 1t promises to be one of the
most interesting cases ever brought
into court here and full OF possible
startling developments,

one minute and thirty seconds, the
Resolute won the race by fifty-three

Unfortunately at the start. the De-

times are taken into consideration,
the Resolute wins from the Nanitie

on the first leg the Resolute got a
good lift through the sudden shift

on the second round she lost through

NarraEansett shore, and the Nanitie
being able 10 see this, stood out to

tie outsailed the Resolute.
No one can remember when two
