Has Fed Nine Presidents

Dan Healey is the oldest and Lest dln- ing car conductor in the world. Healey is a magnetic, modest Irishman and has attended to the gastroEomic wants or nine Presidents of the United States and countless other prominent citizens says a writer in the American Magazine.
 There is some element of distinction in being the oldest man in service in any line of endeavor, but to be the oldest and best is the test that requires skill and en- during qualities. Yet in this class Dan Haley presides. so far as dining car service is concerned. Dan Healey is the venerable dining car conductor on The Pioneer Limited the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railways train between Chicago, St. Paul. and Minneapolis. Dan operated one of the first dining cars ever put in service, and ever since he has been carterer to the travelling public.
 He is a genial man with an alert eye for the comforts of his guests. The trace of Celtic ancestry crops out of his keen wit and warm sympathy. His list of friends who give the hearty salute "1 m glad to see you, Dan," are numbered by the thousands. Dan possesses that mag netic personality that engenders hale good friendship.
 Grover Cleveland used to think that Dan had knack of serving duck better than anyone he knew. Ex-President Roosevelt, after a 21-day trip with Dan

AMERICANS AS SEEN FROM ACROSS SEAS London Spectator Cites In- difference to Clothes as
 Unselfish Trait

Under the title, "American Men and American Women" the Spectator takes up the eudgels in the defense of the for mer against the frequent remark, re- certy revived by d French woman vis- itor to the United States, that Uncle Sam s sons compare unfavorably in looks and general appearance with Columbia $ daughters, says a London special to the New York Times. The Spectator says; If a FrenchWoman thinks that the visible disparity between the clothes of American women and those of American men betokens some moral or social in feriority in the man resentment becomes almost an obligation on Englishmen who know her misapprehension.
 '"The American man is superior to the American woman, and if his clothes be bad he can well afford to carry mere dead weight of this sort. The American mans indifference to clothes is proof or his unselfshness. His business in life. is to make money to pay for those of his
 wife and daughters; his sons must gen erally shift for themselves.
 | He idealizes his womanfolk and puts himself to any pains so long as he be- l lieves like the devotees who slash them
 selves with knives in the temple of their
 gods, that he Is gloryfying them. He IS
 content to regard himself as a plain piece of machinery that turns out money, so | long as ne mas the SpleHulu Srdlilieo'ioh | of knowing that his wife or daughter is | on a lofty plateau, where ethereal beings
 breathe the rarefied atmosphere of cul- | ture."
 After declaring that the American man
 does not care about his clothes, not being
 a mere male bird which requires the bet ter plumage, the Spectator continues: l "He is not dude and so buys a suit | for Sl5 or $20-a suit that is turned out from standardized patterns more quickly | even than cheap motor car-and with
 a seam let out here and a hitch taken in there it doea very well.
 "It is this sort of economy which en-
 ables him to pay $50 to s2O0 for the new l gowns for his wife or daughter without | turning hair.
 | "The American woman, after a tre I mendous burst of culture or amusement | frequently collapses into a state of stag | nation at the age when she would not ye I be reckoned old by English standards l The American man on his side, having made up his mind to dispense with intel ! lectual and sartorial honors. is remark ! able first for his optimism, and. second | for his business versatility.

He is nevel f! down hearted if his business has gone ,o pot for the time being; he tells himself that his wife will be wearing the bes

but of his greatness there can be no ques- ton.
 A point that is often overlooked by superficial readers of the life of Napoleon and yer one upon which all or most of his biographers lay stress is his capacity for work. He was. indefatgable; he studied every minute detail of his business, which was, first, that of being a soldier, and, second, that of rulership over Francu.
 Nothing escaped the general. When he was ahout to attempt his famous march over the Alps he himself inspected every strap of the artillery horses harness in order to be sure that every buckle was frightened properly And when his star blazed highest in glory and he was Elm reror of the French and master of con tinental Europe he supervised personally almost every detail of the government It was his habit of working hard that led to his death at the comparatively young age of 52.
 It is rot necessary to tell the reader that Napoleon did not know his destina- ton from the start. As lis fortunes advanced by his wonderful efforts he ad- yanced his goal. Having reached one. he abandoned it for another. farther on and higher ever higher The schoolboy at the military school of Brienne dreamed of commanding a company, the general | in Paris of leading French army ill
  l perror; the Emperor of conquering the world. l Never did he say, "It is finished; l have reached my goal" Always there was something further to aspire to. 1 While the written word of history lasts the world will argue the question Of the l good and evil accomplished by Napo- | leon Bonaparte. But this may be said: When the world shall see a man who 1 shall unite in himself conscience, a l sense of good to be accomplished for others instead of self, with the fore sight of Napoleon Bonapartc, his genius I for government, his capacity for work, his ability to recognize and his will to reward able lieutenants, the world will see it's greatest man.
 In the meantime, let us all take to heart the lesson which his words teach-that we cannot advance far if we know that ! our destination lies just ahead.
 There must be a broader. further hori- zon. There must always be something to look forward to and work up to.

like to know, just ask some boy from 10 to 10 years of age if he is able to swim and read if you can his bright eyes, and that proud, happy expression his face, and you will probably get an idea of the feeling. A boy is prouder of having ac- complished that one feat than any other sport. To be able to fully enjoy what this art means to a boy you have to know him-you have to be child yourself-or Keep ever before your mind your child hood days, and to do this you have 10 Keep in close contact with children.
 Learning to swim as well other games has a tendency to ward off old age. and finally it may prove the means of saving life
 Birmingham is just on the verge of spending a large sum of money to equip her playgrounds. but to have these com plete she must not forget her swimming pools.
 The lake here at the park is being fixed up for bathing, with hathhouse etc, under the direction and supervision of a very efficient man, MT. Davis, who has been in this business for 15 years, and has been kind enough to make us a special rate for the playground children, until the swimming pools are opened or our play grounds.

 Ready for a swim" 'in the water and '.resting after a swim" Could anything afford more pleasure to these bright, healthy boys? This is what Birmingham needs on the playgrounds for girls as well as boys, and she should not forget a wading pool for the smaller children.
 Did you ever see a child that wasn't fond of playing in water? They all natur- ally have a tendency to play in it and will do so if there is not an over fond mother who is afraid of it.
 Just coming in contact with the water IS invigorating. It stimulates the great num- Der of nerves in the skin and acts as tonic to the whole nervous system.
 Swimming brings into play every muscle in the body and some that are seldom ever used in any other sport.
 It strengthens the lungs by causing deep breathing. Outdoor swimming is much more healthful than indoors. The sun shining upon the water helps to purify it. then there is nearly always a breeze stirring over the water.
 Swimming is restful-as to be a good swimmer one has to learn the art of re- taxation, and this takes patience and prac- tice. It is restful to the mind, for you can't enjoy good swim with your mind on your business. After a real good swim one can take hold of business with new energy-havng gained mental rest will promote cheerful disposition.

stopped shoulders, as the position taken brings the body naturally into it's proper position, if one is floating his body is thrown into q correct posture, in swim ming the head has to be held up, and the use of the muscles in the shoulders will strengthen and bring these into their proper being. and then to be able to propel oneself on the water is very exil- erating-but to describe the feeling one gains when he has at least learned to swim is more than I can do.

ia is coming back into her own and
this Indebtedness will rapidly decrease
we freely predict. Figuring on this
basis, the Indebtedness in ten town
ships tributary to any particular point
would aggregate $2,880,00o. AS the
average rate of interest on farm loans
is about 8 per cent, it is necessary to
pay approximately $23O,4OO interest
annually from the ten townships, a
very large per cent of which goes to
the eastern money kings. If Governor
Hanna puts thru his plan for
cheaper money, explained elsewhere in
this issue, this money will remain in
North Dakota, besides the rate of in
trest will be lowered at least three per
cent, to those making state loans.

There are no less than half dozen

Bismarck this year. Bismarck evil
IDENTIFY feels that she is capable of fur
nishing all of the candidates for the
various offices regardless of other Sec
lions of the state. In making this

necessarily reside in Bismarck. The
new candidates we refer to are Flint,

It is a we'll known fact that the

backing Flint for Commissioner of
Agriculture. There is a reason for

I paid out for help that year to run

not make man rich, as has been the

Der that while received SO per cent
on the old taxes actually collected, ]
had to find out where lot of the peo-
pie had moved to and show that in my
statement to the commissioners, which
was not small job, and several hun
dred dollars was collected from people
then outside of the county and state.
And many poor people came to me
with the complaint that they were so
hard up that they could not pay the
full amount, so got away with paying
only the so per cent of the old taxes,
and I got nothing out of it, only had
to turn in to the treasurer the full
amount, took the so per cent out of
my own pocket and turned in, and af-
forwards got back from the county
only my own money, which now is
figured by my opponent as profit.
Again my opponent tries to make
out that I have even violated my con-
tract with the county, in failing to
turn in what he calls 1888. A copy of
the contract referred to, reads in part
as follows:
ut is further mutually agreed
between the parties hereto that as
compensation for the collection of
such taxes, the said John J. Lee,
as sheriff, as aforesaid, shall re-
ceive so per cent of the gross
amount collected upon such per-
sonal property tax and personal
property tax judgments and that
no other, or further, compensa-
ton by way of mileage, or other
wise, shall be allowed than the
said so per cent of the amount
collected, except legal sheriff's
fees collected from said tax pay

No 1888 was received by me in this
case, but if it had been collected, it
would have been according to the |
terms of the contract. l made be-
tween $11O0 and $1,000 net out of the
collection of the old taxes, and fail
to see why there should be any howl
ing about it, as believe I earned all
l received and that it was legal in
every way and good thing to get
these old taxes cleaned up. Keeping
the taxes collected up every year, as
did, saves the county from having to
pay the state its share of the uncol-
lected taxes.

to these so-called big earnings by
your sheriff, I will quote certificate
