SOCIETY AND HOME TOPICS FOR WOMEN
By MARION HARLAND

1 highly instructive to students of philoiogy: 1 "A vocabulary of Esperanto consists of I root words, to which one must add the proper grammatical ending to give the word it's sense as a noun, an adjective, an adverb, as the case may be- Thus
 suppose we take the root "bon'-which contains the idea good, and add to it the adjective ending A We then have bona, the Esperanto work for good Suppose we add the noun ending O to the same root; ; the result would be bono, in English a good Again, suppose instead of either of these endings we added the adverbial
 E to this root; the result would be bone
 H hich in English would be well. But to give further modification of the root idea, there is provided a series of prefxes and suffixes-about 40 in all-which are used
 in conjunction with the grammatical end-
 ngs. Thus, if we continue to use the root bon, we can make it's meaning just the opposite-that is, bad-by adding the prefix maj to it: malbona' (Mal in the same way changes the meaning of any root to which it is affixed, but does not contain in it's meaning any sense of bad ness. For example, alta means in Eng glish high, malalta means low) Out of this root we can make a verb by adding the suffix ig to it, thus, bonigi, meaning in English To make good, the suffix fig having the property of adding to the root idea a sense of causing or making, and the letter T being the ending for the in-
 initive of the verb. As this is merely to give you an idea of the construction of the language, I shall leave the satis- fac tion of your further courtesy to that roint-if you have any-to your own in- itiative. ESPERANTO"
 Curiosity and the desire to go further into the examination of the wonderful method which is to make the whole world of one speech go without saying.

Thought No Lives Were Lost,
Though Hundreds Fought
Night and Day to Sub
due Flames.

: Cannon Ball, N. D., Oct. 5.-One Of
the worst prairie fires ever known IN
this section swept through here yes
terday, and conservative estimates
place the damage at $150,000. Horses,
barns, haystacks, farm implements,
everything was swept away, and hum
dreds of families are left shelteriess.
The fire was not started by rail-
road engine, as is so common. A
South Dakota farmer, by the name
of johnson, living this side Of NC
Laughlin, is said to have started the
fire by accident, and it swept before
the wind with uncontrolloble fury.
So fierce was the heat that men
could not stand before it, even sew
eral rods away.
A number of persons fighting the
fire were burned, but it is hoped that
no lives were lost. Mr. Witzleben,
the principal of the school, had his
shoulder dislocated. The concensus
of opinion is that Mrs. Cowboy was
the hero of the day She is an old
Indian woman, who earned the andy
ing gratitude of the fire-fghters by
bringing them water to drink as they
fought along the line OF the fire.
Much unthreshed grain belonging
to white settlers was destroyed. The
country is black as midnight for mile
after mile, and is a pitiable sight.
Many cattle and horses were burned.
Hundreds of people fought the blaze
for 36 hours, and Sunday got it par

cally burned itself out now.

were gaudy with paint and decora-

The geographical complexion OF
North Dakota is due to be chang.
ed, if an action, begun by e. B.
Baker, formerly of the Fort Berthold
Indian reservation, against the coun-
ty OF Mountrail, is successful when it
comes .efore the supreme court here
this afternoon. The suit, involving
the fate of some 90 or 80 townships
now within the boundaries of the re-
servation, is practically without pre-
cedGnt in this state. presenting phas-
es widely different from the one SINH
lar action in the annals of the North
Dakota courts.
The object Of the proceedings is to
estahlish, if possible, the fact that all
that part CT Mountrai county which
was within the boundaries of the cid
Fort Berthold reservation, is now
wrongfully and illegally included with
in the county Of Mountrail, and there
fore the county has no power or right
to tax the people withm the bound
aries of the old reservation, or to eX-
ercise any authority over them.
Inc real purpose OF the SUIT IS to
establish thai these lands are outside
Of the county, and not subject to the
authority of the county government,
with the idea that these - or 80
townships may some day be organic
ed into county of Itself

sented by B. A. Dickinson of Ryder
and Dudley Nash Of saai % OF !, and Noun

ternoon.
