@. The Story Of the
DOW Selfish Little
49,. Oyster Crabs.
sAren't you fattsrsrs ?'
laughed daddy.

&C. ~oU know, ! think oyster crabs are perhaps the most selfish of all the
sea animals" began daddy as the children were waiting for their
usual bedtime story.
, WHY" was, OF course, Evelynts first question.
Well" said daddy, they don't do anything for themselves They just
completely live of oysters" 70"
oh" said Evelyn, "aent they any connection or relation to the oysters?
Why ire they called oyster crabsT' $685.
First I will answer the first question: said daddy, land then the second
ter crabs, however, because, above all things, they love the juice of an oyster
way they get It,
First OF ALL the oyster crab hovers around the oysters and then picks out
a nice, fat juicy looking oyster saying to himself: You look as If you could
feed M we'll without any effort ! think / will crawl into your SHE'LL So
then he craw1s right inside the oysters shell and proceeds to enjoy himself
He prefers just to sponge o Others, and yet no n has eve heard of the
oyster trying to live and thrive on the crab in that way.
II think it's 81 much nicer when the birds, fishes and animals do things
for themselves and have some pride Now, take the birds, for instance. You
can't imagine them lot building their W nests. And they take such pride
in their families and their homes. And the sam is true Of the animals and
also OF the fishes and other sea animals.
"of course some animals have to live o others, which often seems cruel
but then it is their way, and they must live. But the oyster crab is just too
lazy, and he is Sc selfish that all he can do is to crawl into another fshs shell
Ind suck the juice he finds there"
81 think the oyster crab must be horr1d" said Evelyn. what do the little
mes oE'
"Oh, they re trained and taught when they IN YER 81 little to do just
The same thing. In fact they have been selfish 81 long that I don't suppose
they could be anything else It almost seems tt be second nature with them"
But it is very interesting to know all about the oyster crabs anyway
said Evelyn.
And we couldn't be selfish because d daddy isn't selfish like the oyster
crabs daddy is" added Jack.
Aren't you the worst little haherersw laughed daddy. "You win have me
such a spoiled child before long!"

DEFINITE PROGRESS.

During the past five years there
has been a systematic campaign under
way in North Dakota to increase "di-
versiied farming" This movement
met with a hearty response from
North Dakota's progressive farmers
and 1t has been known that the state
has been making great strides away
from the n crop idea.
In this issue The Forum publishes
some definite figures showing exactly
how much progress has been made in
tho past three years in the way of in
creasing feed grain acreage, and in
livestock growing. The figures were
compiled by Commissioner of Agrlcul-
ture Gilbreath from authentic sources
These figures prove conclusively that
the diversified farming idea has taken
deer root in North Dakota. and the
figures should pe studied by every
person interested in the growth of the
state The figures on corn and dairy
cattle are especially interesting and
significant.
The Forum has been an enthusiastic
advocate of diversified farming be.
cause it believes in that direction lie
the quickest, surest and greatest pros,
perity for North Dakota. There is
"big money in raising hogs. in grow
ing corn, in dairying. but there is
more than that, there is a surer ar
more frequent return than from ex-
elusive wheat or fax raising.

When it becomes the fashion in

cunning men, there will be written a

at 15,.at which age his skill exceeded
that of man a veteran mechanic.
From that time onward his activities
lay in the realm Of better and simpler
mechanical devices. His services 10
the world have been inestimable.
Fortunately, too. his skill did not lie
alone in the direction OF execution. AS
an organizer he was also d. master. He
possessed a sort of engine room dip.

effect OF multiplying his other merits

If our sense of proportion were not

TESTIMONY THAT CANNOT
Be DOUBTED

I wish to testify to the good that
your Swamp-Root did me. I was
bothered with Kidney trouble and lame
back for some three years; had taken
medicine from several doctors but
without effect. I finally tried DR.. Kill
mer's Swamp-Root, and after taking.
three bottles was completely cured. I
have also recommended it to several
friends who have been completely cur
ed of kidney and bladder trouble. In
n case a friend Of min in Toledo
took two bottles of Swamp-Root, which
dissolved a stone in his bladder. He
has not been troubled since. Also a
friend in Springfield, Ohio. who was
employed at the Springfield Metallic
Casket Company was completely. cured
of kidney trouble after taking Swamp
Root. / give this testimonial unsolI-
cited, for it may be the means of help
ing some else.
Yours gratefully.

Commander r. G.. f. Evans, who
was second in authority In the en-
petition Of Captain Scott to the
south pole. has come to the United
States to lecture. He is the first
member of that famous expedition
to come to the United States,
He was captain of the Terra
Nova during the whole period of
the explorations and was in COM
mand Of her when she sailed back
to Cape Evans, expecting to Pick
up Captain Scott and his victori-
GUS party, only to learn that all
had died.
"One of the saddest days of my
life was that when we returned
to Cape Evans in the Terra Nova"
said the young officer.
We had prepared a gala feast
aboard the Terra Nova that day.
We had brought out the best food
and wines we could buy at Mel
bourne, as. we expected to feast
Captain Scott and his men, who
we were positive had discovered
the pole.
THE Terra Nova was dressed
with flags as we sailed up to the
little settlement at Cape Evans
and the saloon was decorated
with bunting and flags.
We anchored in the stream. and
as1 looked at the group Of men
standing on the shore l realized
that Captain Scott was not among
them.
81 do not see Captain Scott" I
shouted, making a trumpet of
my hands.
NO" shouted back n Of the
men. Captain Scott discovered
the pole on Jan. IL last year, but
he and his party persisted on the
return journey. We have the rec
ords."

COMMUNICATION

To The Forum: The beautiful city
Of Fargo, with it's fine lawns and
grass curbings, that 10000 people
cross and use as public walks, among
the throng finely dressed women with
split skirts.
Residents in order to protect their
grass plots have to put up heavy wire
fences, which makes one feel like .iv-
ing in a prison looking out through the
oars, to say nothing of the empty
whisky bottles which have been
thrown on the lawn to be picked up
and carted away, also wagonload after
OF papers and discarded
sacks OF all sizes and candy boxes. II
the bottles had been thrown in the
street they might have injured some

A CAUSE FOR DlsTRusT.

merce Commissioner Harlan upon the
accounting methods and practices of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
railroad, in connection with it's subsid-
iary line to Puget sound. in his report
upon the inquiry into that matter, at
ford another Illustration Of the penal
ties which the railroads of this coun-
try are undergoing as the result of a
variety Of unlawful or Bile
transactions.
Nothing is more important thar that
the reports and statements of railroad
corporations regarding their receipts
and expenditures and their financial
condition should be as accurate as
possible, and, above all. not calculated
to mislead the public or intended TO
deceive investors for the profit of
spectators. Hardly anything could be
more dishonorable than for RESPONSE
BILE officers to have accounts manipu-
lated or perverted to serve their own
ends or their individual gain.
That accounting officers or book
keepers are incompetent or careless is
no excuse Inc it is seldom a truthful
explanation where irregularities" are
disclosed. What is done is pretty sure
TO be the result of instructions or ex-
pressed desires, which subordinate
employees cannot disregard and keep
their places.
The situation of the New Haven
railroad system, the recent scandals
connected with Rock Island and the
Frisco. and these disclosures re-
garding st, Paul, go far to explain
why the railroads Of the country have
fallen so much into d~isfavor and have
such difficulty in regaining confidence
and having their present claims fairly
considered, comments The Journal OF
Commerce. They are suffering the
penalty Of past misdoing and it be.
hooves their managers to be especially
scrupulous in their representations
hereafter. The penalties cannot be
confined TO the real offenders.
Commissioner Harlan well saws.
~Ths general public interest demands
