WOND[RFU Ill

The Holiday decorations of the var
ious stores in our city surpass in
beauty all former decorations. There
is not a store in the city but what
has made an extra effort to make
their place Of business attractive, and
they have succeeded to a pleasing de-
gree. It shows that our merchants
are alive to the fact that a neat and
attractive place of business, not only
at Christmas time, but at all times, is
one of the things that brings trade.
The stocks Of goods in the avrious
stores in the city are the best to be
found in any city the size of Devils
Lake in the state, and possibly any
city in the state. It is a pleasure to
make an inspection of the various
stores in the city just to see how neat
and tasty the stocks are displayed,
and what beautiful decorations have
been fixed up.

JOSEPH SH[LvER
DELIVER ADDRESS

Fargo, N. D., Dec. 21.-The fifth
annual Boys and Gilrs' Institute of
North Dakota has closed and the dele
gates have returned to "a counties of
the state to spread the: gospel Of better
rural conditions for the boys and girls
of North Dakota. They have spent
the last four days at the college which
have been days packed with instruc-
tion and entertainment.
Election of officers for the coming
year was held in the Little Country
theatre and Joseph Shelver, former
president of the institute presided.
Jay Wilcox of Renville County was
elected president of the institute; Wal
ter Granlund of Ransom county, was
chosen vice president; Mable Poe of
Williams county, secretary, and Har-
vey Shortridge of Cavalier county,
treasurer.
Earlier in the day Joseph Shelver,
aged ID, of Devils Lake, gave the
presidents address to the institute
and without the use of notes or re-
minders of any kind, delivered an ad-
dress to the members worthy of a
much older boy. He first told of how
the delegates appreciated the hospi-
tality of the agricultural college and
the efforts of the faculty spent in
their behalf. The work of the Boys
and Girls Institute, he said should
be wider known, and therefore he be-
ieved that similar work should be
taken up by every county in the state
for their boys and girls. Not only
should the work expand into every
county Of this state but it should also
expand into every state Of the United
States.
In closing he brought out the idea
that if every boy and girl in the
United States could receive training
similar to that received by the dele
gates at the institute this year that it
would be great factor in lessening
the probability in the future, Of any
such awful struggle as is going on in
Europe at the present time.
Miss Amidon Of Valley City had the
delegates most Of the forenoon and
worked with them on several new
games and songs for use at recess and
during the noon hour In their home
schools The young delegates SEEM
ed to take to these games quite read
lily and as result there will be few
dull recesses or long noon hours in
their community schools through the
long winter sessions Of school this
year.
Professor Keithley Of the dairy de-
partment spoke to the institute during
the forenoon on dairying, pointing out
many Of the interesting features Of
the work and also many Of the very
practical points in regard to butter
making on the farm and the care Of
the milk Immediately after milking.

The above is the result Of the big
contest put on by E. w. Gilbertson,
From every standpoint the contest
was an unqualified success. The big
furniture man is this week acting as
Santa Claus to those whose efforts
were near perfect.
The task of the judges was no mean
one. Some of the individuals who
contested might have thought that
solving the rebus was difficult, but it
wasn't in it with Judging all the an
swers.
There were scores who solved the
rebus, having every word correct.
That made it necessary to judge the
papers for spelling, punctuation, pen
manship and general appearance. The
spelling Of the word excellence ap-
peared to be a stumbling block for
many. Then there were some who
otherwise might have shared in the
prizes who were indiscriminate in
their punctuation. Some used capital
letters here, there and everywhere
and were therefore penalized.
Chairman Felix Routier of the
judges turned over to E. W. Gilbert
son the list of winners and their re-
lative standing. The work of the
judges adhered strictly to the prin-
ciple of the survival of the fittest.

Meeting a Lion in South Africa.

Meeting Lion in South Africa.
Stewart Edward White, the we'll
known hunter and writer, contributes
to the January American Magazine a
thrilling account Of his personal ex-
periences with lions and other wild
animals in the African Jungle. He has
Just recently returned from such a
hunting trip. Following is an extract
from the story:
Gone day, when returning from a
long walk to the south, we saw below
us ioness crossing an open flat. She
was moving slowly about five hundred
yards away. Menba Sasa and two
men accompanied me; the rest OF the
men had not lost any lions. It was a
rather hopeless attempt, and long be-
fore we had gained the flat she had
disappeared in the brush Of narrow
little ravine. We came to halt. Then
off to the right we sa wanother lioness
following the first. She was only a
hundred and fifty yards away, SO I
opened fire with the Springfield. Had
very good luck with the shooting, for
I managed to plant three bullets in her
shoulder before she gained the thicket.
There she turned Immediately at bay,
but for some reason would not charge
into the open. She lay about ten yards
inside the screen Of leaves, growing
and rumbling at us. It was rather ex-
citing maneuvering for q sight Of her,
for no one could ten what she would
do next. However, after three or four
minutes cautious advance got a good
shot at her as she crouched and killed
her. This was satisfactory, mildly ex-
citing, but not exactly thrilling. We
took her skin and continued our
walks"

SLEEPING WITH HEAD NORTH.

In answering a subscribers ques-
ticn as to why one should sleep with
ones head to the north, DR.. Robert
T Morries says in st. Nicholas Magi-
zine:
Electric currents sun north and
south, through the earth. An object
is said to be in the state of better cleo
ric rest if its long axis is in linz
with the earth's electric currents. It
is my impression that the custom of
sleeping with the head to the north
was adopted before anything was
known about these currents. If that
is the case. I take it to mean that
certain persons so readily affected
t,y these Influences that they find
themselves disturbed if they ty o
sleep with the short axs1s of the body
in line with them.
ahaYe purposely made the ex-
pertinent and have asked friends to
make it when we were camp. None
OF us noted any correction between
our sleep and our position in regard
to points of the compass. We were
strong and well, however. 1t might
be quite different with invalids.

VINEYARDS HARD HIT

For the second year in SUGGEST N
the German vineyards have been hard
lit. This years crop, just harvested,
gave nowhere more than half the
usual quantity of grapes, and in a ma
jority of districts only one-twentieth f
the normal yield. In some sections,
notably n Wurtemberg and Baden.
there was no crop at all.
Nor does the quality of this years
wine compensate for the bad harvest.
On the contrary, it is very poor, ex-
cept in the so-caIled Rheingau ,embra :
ing such well-known places as ASS
manshausen, Johannisberg, Rudesheim
Erbach and Bingen. There, although
only one-twentieth of a crop was har-
vested, the wine is of average quality.
V1neyardists along the River Saar har-
vested about a half-crop, which is
producing wine only slightly below
middle quality. But as a general thing
the wine is inferor and very acid.
The poor harvest is the result of an
unusually unfavorab1e spring AMI
summer. The latter part Of May
brought frosts, which did considerable
damage. In July and August. the
most important months for the devel-
opment of grapes. there e frequent
cold rains, which not only prevented
development of the fruit, but brought
various grape diseases. A warm Seq
TENDER prevented what would other
wise have been an utter failure of the
crop in all districts.

THE POWER OF DECISION.

Has that boy of yours learned to
make decisions for himself. or must
you assist him to make up his mind?
If this last is the case, the chances are
that he will go through life allowing
Others to decide things for him. and
permitting others to dictate what he
shall do and what he shall not do.
The power of decision is one of the
greatest gifts an individual may pos
scss. Some are born with it to a
marked degree; others must cultivate
it, oftentimes at the cost of many hard
ships and heartaches.
Life is a constant battle, and n IN
which the strong alone are victorious,
Indecision is a mark of weakness. The
person who does not know what ha
wants to do or who lacks the ability to
decide what he thinks is best to do un-
der certain circumstances, will never
rise above the lower walks in life, un-
less fortuitous circumstances unite TO
place him there.
Suppose a general in command ofan
army were lacking in this power of de-
cision. How many battles would he
win? Suppose he did not have sum-
cient decisiveness to make up his mind
what vas best to do and then act upon
his decision? How long would he re-
tain the confidence of his troops, or OF
the government which placed him IN
his position of power?
President Lincoln had just sue.
