the college is accomplishing great
work. Under Professor Fish's in
.struction the students have acquired
a great interest in speaking, and con-
siderable talent has been developed.
Through the many different contests
and classes, "a large number of the coll
lege people are trained in expression,
Not only the exceptional speaker is
encouraged, but especially the back
ward, bashful type.
The students are seen to enjoy the
public speaking, whether or not they
intend to be political lecturers, plat
form orators, or circus criers. Public
speaking is for everybody, and it Is
separated from the professional Spirit
at Fargo college. 1t is given a broad
relationship to the whole college cur
riculum. As William James said:
Expression is indispensable to last
ing and useful impression"
With the purpose in mind Professor
Fish has adopted the slogan, Public
Speaking for Every Student and the
students seem to have rallied round
with enthusiasm.

ANOTHER HOSPITAL ROOM.
Mrs. Il. Anundsen VIII Furnish
Room in Honor of Her Depart
ed Husband.

The hospital authorities were Of
ficially notified on Monday by Mrs
B. Anundsen that she would furnish
one of the rooms in Decorahs new
hospital. 1t will be in honor of the
late B. Anundsen, who was one OF
Decorah's best known and most
highly respected citizens, and for
years editor and owner of that well
known NGEwlegian newspaper, The
Poster. This donation is very
pleasing to the hospital authorities
and Mrs. Anundsen is to be COM
mended for her kind act.
The hospital is rapidly approach
ing completion. The grounds around
the building are being graded and
leveled off, and the site is presenting
a handsome appearance. Fair week
visitors marveled at the beautiful To-
cation and the handsome building,
which will soon be ready for occu-
pancy.

DEBORAH PEACHES.
Even G. Rudd Has Fine Bearing
Tree in His Yard.

That we are living in the garden
spot of the world right here in De-
corah there can be no doubt. The
climate is ideal, and the crops are
always good Most anything under
the sun can be ra!sed-here. A sight
we'll worth seeing is peach tree in
bloom and loaded with large, juicy
peaches, growing in the yard of
Even Rudd, just opposite the Blags-
vedt home on Pleasant Hill. Mrs.
tRudd has already canned several
quarts, and the tree is still loaded.
The peaches are large and of good
flavor. The tree grew up of its own
accord, not having been planted or
cared for in any particular way by
Mr.. Rudd. 1t is now about five
years old, and this is the first year
that it started to bear. The tree is
about II feet high. Two samples
from the tree can be seen in our
office window, and they are worth
seeing too.

TIE STYLE SHOW.
Ladies OF DEBORAH Given Rare
Treat at GraCeman q Co.'S.
Yesterday.

The much talked of living model
style show advertised to take place
at Graceman e Cos. was held yes
terday afternoon and evening. The
young lady models arrived in the
forenoon from Chicago, and after
dinner the style show was put On at
Graceman & Cos. store. OF course
! it is needles to say that the store
was packed with an immense throng
of ladies and misses, all anxious to
get a glimpse of the pretty models
and the handsome creations they
displayed. We might mention the
fact that the fair sex were not the
only interested spectators, as the
men were also there to drink in the
beauty of the show
The models were the Misses Effie
and Gertrude Young, Miss MCGEE
and Miss Light. A platform was
erected in the center of the store,
and the models promenaded before
the spectators on that, and also up
and down the aisles, wherever there
was vacant space. Three perform
ances were given, two in the after
noon and one in the evening, be-
tween and s, as the models de-
parted on the S:45 Milwaukee.
In the afternoon Mrs. B. NJ. Ora
ham and Miss Helwig furnished ex-
cellent and entertaining music on
the piano and violin, and in the eve
ming, Miss Myra Moran ofIiciated in
ia pleasing manner at the piano.
Imported models in gowns were
shown first, all of the Lady Duff
Gordon or Lucille line. Opera coats,
showing variety of cape effects
were shown next, and after that
suits occupied the stage Some thir-
ty different style garments were
shown, and of course in a most ar
tistic and graceful manner. One suit
shown was priced at SlI0 and a
gown at $500.
All of the gowns shown were the
property of Graceman & Co., and the
firm enjoyed a big sale of various
gowns and suits. The show proved
Ione Of the most interesting events
for the ladies ever held here and
Graceman & Co. are to re congratu-
lated on their enterprise. The grace
played the different coats and dres-
ses proved most interesting to the
big audiences. The millinery used
in the show was furnished by the
Holland millinery.

Sam Barth an Inventor.

Sam Barth. Of Pleasant township,
is always inventing some new pat
ent, and valuable ones too, although
he never sends in to Washington for
patent. His latest invention saves
many a fine chicken from drowning
in the stock watering tank. He took
strip of chicken wire, nailed ends
and SIDES to it and dropped it into
the tank. 1t floats and when the
chickens accidentally fly or fall into
the tank, the wire saves them from
drowning. Hundreds of fowls are
drowned in this manner every year,
but this invention of Mr.. Barth' s
will save them all. A number of Mr.
Barth's neighbors have already sup
piled the watering tanks on their
farms with the screens. 1t certain
ly is a novel idea.
