WEBSTER DEFINES SHINING AS
"VIOLATING DUTY"

WEBSTER DEFINES SHINING AS
"VIOLATING DUTY"
1t is the duty of every man, woman
and child in Williston to help build
up the city-to make it prosperous
and make it grow-to encourage out
siders to come in. When you send
East or North or South or West to
"replenish your wardrobe"-to pur-
chase "new furniture for your home"
when you send your money to mail
order houses-do you realize that you
are SHINING AGAINST YOUR
HOME TOWN-that you are V1O-
LATING YOUR DUTY TO WILLIS
TON? Well, you are. You are
laughing at your local merchants
prolonging the needed municipal i'm
provements- decreasing the value of
North Dakota Soil-discouraging the
most worthy efforts to cater to your
every wish-fooling yourself by send
ing that dollar out of Williston. It
is natural for every person living in
Williston to desire to purchase the
best of all that makes life worth liv-
ing. From a personal standpoint
clothing, hats, underwear, food con-
fectionery and the innumerable pleas
ures and recreations so necessary to
balance ones existence
Or, from your home standpoint,
timber, stone and cement to build
your home with-plumbing, flooring,
moulding, ETC., to finish it off proper
ly-furniture, appliances, furnishings
to make living comfortable
No one gainsays you this privilege
but would it not be better for you
to buy these things in Williston if
you can supply your wants just as
we'll aid at the same price? BY do
ing this-by keeping that dollar in
Williston you encourage the develop
ment of the City of Williston-your
home town.
BY this action of yours in recognize
ing merit-you warrant the entrance
of new industries, the expenditure of
huge sums to start them. Such i'm
provements attract attention to this
city Of yours-it attracts investments
in it's possibilities and its future prob
abilities. You are hurrying forward
the time when Williston will come into
it's own-when the state and country
will recognize it's advantages. BY
keeping this dollar at home you are
helping yourself-the coming genera
tion and the future recognition of
Williston. We believe it is your duty
to give this subject serious considera
ton. We ourselves believe it is so
serious that the following articles on
this subject will contain the expert
ences, ideas and suggestions of over
500 merchants and business men in the
Northwest as to what they think the
result will be when we are no longer

Ryan added doggedly. I'VE don't

The way he said it made Gloria feel
that he meant business. All she could

SCREAMED WITH PAIN
Insect Allies Of a Hermit Arrive In
the Nick Of Time Just as the Door
Of the Cabin Is About to Give Way
Before Attack,

Palisades, Neb-Honey bees drove
two would-be robbers from the lonely
hut Of Ralph Dawson, fifteen miles
northwest Of here. Dawson, who lives
the life of hermit, told the story
The men, who were apparently
tramps, appeared near Dawson's little
home in a deep draw near the French
river Dawson refused to open his
door to the strangers.
He has no gun and there are no
dogs about" One of the strangers
said. I'VE will get his money before
we leave"
The honey bees in score of hives
about the hut became alarmed at the
presence Of the strangers and their
violence. Soon swarms began to sting
the tramps. Just as the door was
about to give way the bees became
more vigorous, and the would-be rob-
bers were forced to fee.
One of the tramps ran to the French
river and escaped the attacks of the
bees by plunging into the water. He
swan to the opposite bank and dis
appeared
The other ran in an opposite d.
fecton with hundreds of bees after
him. Dawson says both men were
screaming with pain when they dis
appeared.
Dawson did not tell anyone about
the attempted robbery and the vic
tory of the bees until he brought a
quantity of honey to market.
He said he left the bees an extra
large amount of the honey for the
winter because of their valor. He de-
clared that he had only a small
amount of money in the house at the
time the tramps visited him. He
says he will not keep any there is the
future.
He has purchased revolver and
shotgun and is determined to help
the bees hereafter if unwelcome visit
ors approach his hut.
Dawson probably Is 40 years old,
and no one appears to know when
he came to this vicinity, 1t is be-
Iieved that he, has been disappointed
in love. While no one has visited
him in his lonely home, it is said
that his little library contains many

This threat had an unpleasant
sound Hitherto the girl had not
feared for her own safety, hat his
surly remark frightened her. The one
thing that kept her steadfast was the
thought that she was protecting the
man she had loved; yes, the man she
now loved more than she ever had.
She did not know how he happened to
be there; she did not know how he
regarded her; she only knew that she
loved him. that she would give her
life sacrifice to save him
Ryan next appealed to Little Ella
Ella, that guy come in here Where
is he? We amt goin' to be scared
by any fool girl She don't know who
wants him. Now give i'm up"
Don't say a word" Gloria told her.
You gotta stick by us, Ella. This
amt no ordinary job"
At Ryans injunction to stick by
him, Little Ella seemed to waveT.
Don't you fergit who yer friends
are. Who keeps you from bein'
jagged? Mike Noonan. Who lets you
stay. here when you can't pay, an
feeds you? Mike Noonan"
That's So He has been good to

This was easier said than done, but
Little Ella was willing to make the
effort.

Open this door, you she-devil"

And then interrupted another voice
with suggestion that made Gloria
grow faint.
"Aw! Let's bust it In. He's in there
all right"

one.
Then came the heavy thuds as the
men threw themselves against the
door, The knocking at the gate in
Macbeth had no more poFtentious
sound in the play than had this at
tack upon her stronghold to Gloria
She felt all the nervousness of troops
under fire that must remain inactive
awaiting orders. There was nothing
she could do but wait until the door
was battered down,
This was not long in happening. AS
she stood in front Of the trunk ner
yously twisting her handkerchief in
her hands, at one last mighty effort
the bolt yielded, tie door flew open
and two men stumbled into the room.
Little Ella recognized them both in
stantly They were Buck Kelly and
Turkey Ryan, notorious denizens of
the underworld. If ever there were
two yiciouS-l0oking cutthroats, these
men answered their descriptions. To
make their ruffianly appearance worse
they bore the marks of their recent
encounter, kelly's left eye had
sWeled almost closed, and Ryan had
a long cut across las cheek where
Wright's ring had left its mark with
slashing blow. He had done even more
damage than this, but these showed
the plainest. Needless to say, their
tempers had not been sweetened by
the episode
Now, damn you" Ryan began
savagely,
Stop" Gloria commanded. What
are you doing here?"
Until she spoke they had not seen
her, and both men were taken much
aback. To find lady there was
something they had not expected
What the" Ryan gasped, but
checked himself and then continued
in a slightly more respectful tone. Il
begs yer pardon, miss, but what are

That's none of your business. You

This encouraged Little Ella to take
her part in the discussion, which she
did with her most strident tones.

it was not this TRADE which had the
most effect upon them, Both quailed
before Gloria, who stood cycling them
sternly. Then they looked at each
other, and without a word of apology
