A STORY WITH A SILVERY SKEIN OF LOVE
BY JANE whitaker

MT II4ulS JAdl HIdu6 ulG WANT W
write this story is that it is such
sweet silvery skein of the love that
lasts even into Hfe's twilight.
The United Charities enter into it
only casually. Yet since that is the
way they seem to enter into every
thing casually might retract and
say there are the only thread that
spoils the beauty of the skein of sill
yer.
l won't tell you the name of the
man nor of the woman, for in life
they guarded so carefully their sec
ret, but once, in the days of the long
ago, the daughter of very wealthy
family married a man against the
wishes of her people and was disin-
herited.
don't think she ever regretted, for
he was so very good to her while he
was young and even when he grew
old. He was a musician-some of his
compositions have rested on my
piano when / didn't know what
sweet little. melody was woven in his
heart
And then he grew too old to work.
There wasn't any money laid by. A
visiting nurse used to give him atten-
ton, and she grew to love both pa
and ma" as they called each other.
''Pa" was so brave. When the
nurse would come, he would say: 81
feel fine today. Wouldn't be surpris-
ed if 1 would be out hunting some
work next week. Had fine nights
rest"
Then he would wink at the nurse,
and she knew he was just trying to
keep ma" from knowing how i'll he
was.
And poverty fastened more tightly
upon them. Ma told thenurse about
her wealthy relatives. and she told
her of the runaway marriage, and
how glad she was she had run away,
and how little she had to regret.

vi, II Was the same OlQ STORY.
They wanted to know about mas
relatives, and her gray head shook
with anger and she cried:
81 won't tell you who they are.
They said would regret marrying
my husband and | never have let.
them hear from me. If they should
hear now, now when we haven't
many more days of life, they would
be able to say that they were right
he couldn't take care of me.
Her indignation cooled little. 81
know you write to relatives" she
said, ''but you won't write to mine
l haven't asked you for help. If you
want to help you must do it without
notifying my people,
The investigator didn't let it drop
there. The visiting nurse was sum-
moned by her superior
Those old people like YOU" the
superior said. You can worm out
of the old lady who were her rela-
lives and where they live and then
give the information to the United
Charities.
But a bit of the fragrance of love
was in the heart of the nurse, and
she refused to betray the confidence
that had been given her.
81 know who mas relatives are"
she replied softly, 'but she trusted
me when she told me and don't in
tend to betray her confidence"
THAT is maudlin sentiment. She
cannot be helped unless the charities
know who her people are and if they
will help her."
The nurse did not bother saying
that the U. G. collects money for just
such cases as this, she just lifted her
head real naughty and left the SUI
perior alone.
A few days later, pa was taken to
the County Hospital and he died.
And ma didn't wait long after that.

Dem TARIFF IS
A REAL BARRIER
How it Operates in Case of
North Dakota Potato
Sellers.

An indication of the ann in
which the Democratic tariff works a
detriment to the North Dakota farm
ers is told by The Cavalier County
Republican Of Langdon.
The sale Of potatoes to Canadian
consumers brings up the point in
question. Says The Republican:
ED Clairmont of Wang completed
loading a car of his Cobbler potatoes
katchewan. The Canadians are de-
pending largely on the United States
for their potato supply, as the crop
was q failure up in that section of the
country. There is one thing in connec-
ton with this shipment of potatoes
that should not be overlooked by the
farmers IN this section of the country.
On this shipment Of potatoes the Ca
madam purchaser was compelled to
ment of 20 cents a bushel. Mr.. Clair
mont received 40 cents per bushel t.
O. b. Walhalla. Now this tariff arrange
ment is sure a fine thing for the
American farmer. Under the Under
wood tariff bill potatoes can be
brought to this country from Canada
free of duty, but u farmers cannot
be given the same privilege by this
democratic administration, and it is
no wonder the Wilson administration
got a decided bump from the farmers
of the northwest in the last election.
Mr.. Clairmont brought in to the
Republican office a number of ears Of
corr grown by him this last season.
This variety is known as the Giant
Squaw Corn" and from IL acres he
husked $50 bushels, an average of SIS
bushels per acre. This corn was husk-
ed by Iowa men. who have husked a
I-~y &c 0--N --l kN~vr 100
husking in Iowa. In a letter received
from one of them, he writes Mr.. Clair
mont that the corn they are husking
in Iowa is not yielding as good as his
crop and is not as we'll matured. This
cor on display in the window Of the
Republican office was planted in June
and was fully ripe in August"

PROGRAM BY CHICAGO
MALE QUARTET C|YENlAST NIGHT

One Of the most delightful male
Quartette programs ever sung to a
Grand Forks audience, was that pre-
sented by the Chicago Male Quartette
last night. The concert was given UNI
der the auspices Of the Machine Gun
company of the N. D. N. q. and was
booked by the extension department
of the university.
No programs were used, but each
members of the quartette-a feature
which lent a charming bit of infor-
mality to the concert. They were SIM

ingly in their solo work. as in their
ensemble. A real top" to a quar-
tette is Il rarity. but the first tenor Of
last night, Mr.. Fannell, blended so
we'll with the other voices, and sang
SO accurately. that the listener was
never In doubt as to whether the
high ones would be forthcoming and
in pitch.
The men were not running in OPP
position to the "Grand" inasmuch as
vaudeville was absent from their con-
was a breezy informal at
mosphere. but ever refined. Still. their
humorous songs were genuinely fun
ny: their main numbers duly serious
and convincing, and their sacred
numbers finely r~everential.
The Passing Regiment" was sung
with vim and enthusiasm. winning a
hearty applause, to which the quar
tette generously responded by
scratching IL the mans eyes who
lived in u home town." The two
songs of the Southland. Swing Long,
and Don You Cry Ma Honey" were
unusually well sung-particularly the
latter, the solo part having been TAX

Tours number. Mr.. Collins was fol-
lowed by three quartette numbers.
"Four-leafed Clover Lead Kindly
Light" and the Brahms Lullaby"
We should have liked to hear Mr.
Hedgcoxe in a piano solo: his accom-
paniments were most m~usicianly, as
were his vocal solos.
The "Bedouin Love Song" sung by
Mr.. Smith, the bass. stirred the crowd
immensely. His voice is not only
deep, and resonant. but splendidly
flexible as we'll. shown in his facility

spontaneous manner in which they
presented the program truly corrobor-
