AN INDIGNATION MEETING IN
THE OLD ORCHARD.
(By Thornton W. Burgess

Copyright. 1914, by j. G. Lloyd.)
Jenny Wren was upset. No doubt
about it, Jenny Wren was upset. You
had only to look at her to know that.
Her tail, which she usually carries in
the most pert and saucy way imag-
done what she had set out to do. She
had found out who the stranger in the
Old Orchard was, but she had been
treated SO rudely and she had been
told such astonishing things by the
stranger that her usual high spirits
were quite crushed.
II never felt so small in all my
life!" said she as the other feathered
folk of the Old Orchard crowded
around her after her call on the
stranger.
Then you must have felt mighty
SMALL" chuckled Goldie the Oriole.
You know. Jenny Wren really is a
very little bird.
Jenny's eyes snapped and she turn
ed her back squarely on Goldie. "tIe
actually told me that he liked my
house very much and if the doorway
was little larger he would take 1t
himself. Now, what do you think of
that?"
No one knew what to think. Never
since any one could remember had
mean to say that he had the nerve to
say that he would have turned you
out of your home if the doorway was
larger?" asked Chippy the Sparrow.
Jenny nodded and her eyes snapped
with anger. Yes" she replied.
More than that, he said that there
are several houses that he likes the
looks of and when he makes up his
mind which will suit him best he is
going to move in and if there is any
one living there they will have to
move out:T~ ~ ,t:3
Every one gave little gasp Of as
tonishment and for few minutes no
one could find word to say 1t was
hard to believe that any one could
even think of such a thing. to say
nothing o. bodily saying that they
meant to do it.
II never heard of such a thing
in all my life!" declared Chippy. Did
he say who he is?''
Jenny Wren's eyes sparkled mis-
chievously. Yes" she replied. He
said that he is relative of yours"

AMERICA STANDS
FoREFF|c|ENCY
Declares President George
Vincent III Address Fri
day Evening.

American. which formerly meant
opportunity. now means efficiency,
according to President George e.
Vincent Of the University of Mime
sofa. who spoke at the First Nj. E.
church of this city Friday night un-
der the auspices of the North Dakota
State Bar association.
A man is now a part of the gem
eral machine,s the speaker said, and
must be able to fit harmoniously into
the whole. A. great fight is now go
Ing on In this country between in
dividualism and collectivism. The
first doctrine he characterized as that
of success, the, second that of fail
ure.
These two doctrines. President
Vincent said, have important inf1n-
ences on the legal profession. Thus
in former days the man who could
go out and win case for his client
regardless of the justice of his con-
tention, was admired. Now, however,
it is generally regarded as the duty
of the lawyer to see that justice Is
done to all rarties.
Higher edacation," declared the
speaker, lis tibt for the few, but for
ALL" He pointed out that the gen
eral public beaps the expense of this
higher education, and that the gem
eral public therefore has a right to
participate in its benefits.
In law, and In all other professions,
he pointed out, the demand is becom-
ing steadily greater that the members
be equipped with a proper education,
in order that they may do their duty
by society. The main idea now Is
that society as whole must be pro-
tected.
Society at present has great need
for conservatives, men who think be
fore they act, according to President
Vincent. The Idea that lawyers pre-
vent reform and hinder progress, Is.
however. a false one, he said. as iaw-
yers have been the leaders in bring
ing about the great reforms OF mod
ern times.
President Vincent took the place on
the Bar association program of Sam
uel Untermeyer of New York. who
was unable to attend the meeting He
is an excellent speaker. and made an
excellent impression on the large au-
dience which gathered at the church.
Besides the members of the Bar
association, large number of the res
/ idents of Grand Forks, attracted by
President Vincent's reputation as IL
speaker, were present.

BAR GERMAN ARTISTS.
They Are Denied the Privilege A
forded Others at Capri. /.

NLLoIuoll
Capri. beautiful in itself as a winter
resort. offers an irresistible invitation
to artists, since it has an inn where
any one. by painting a picture on the
WALL can get free board.
To the lovely island of Capri, with
its perennial summer, its blue grotto,
and its lemon groves, came. some fifty
years ago. ruined artist. He opened
an inn, and died rich. In his will,
leaving the inn to his heirs, he made
these conditions:
The charge day. two bottles of
red Capri wine included. is never to
be more than 6 francs.
''lf any artist is too poor to pay he
shall paint picture upon some wall
space. receiving all the accommoda-
ton accorded to those paying the
highest price.
IF any German artist shall come to
the inn he shall be accommodated,
and shall receive the amount of his
fare to Germany upon his promis-
ing never to return to Italy"
The inn is conducted today on these
conditions. Its walls are covered with
paintings. Now and then a German
gets his fare home.
