Boys ofCity Are Being Con-
sidered by Lodge.

AT the regular meeting of the
Knights of Pythias last Wednesday
evening, the question of building a X
Of p. home was taken up and the mat
ter was looked at from all sides. As
the meeting progressed and the differ
ent features of the plan developed the
members became quite enthusiastic
and a motion was made that commit
tees be appointed and the good work
investigated and be reported on at an
early meeting. One Of the features o.
the plan, and which met with muck
favor, was the instituting of boys
gymnasium to be conducted in con-
junction with, but separate from the
regular gymnasium and club rooms,
the same to be under proper supervis-
ion and open for all of the boys of the
city, it would be through gym. with
all necessary paraphernalia, together
with swimming pool, etc. In fact, it
would be equally as good, and con-
Quoted in the same manner, as the
Irregular gym. for the X of P. men,
bers. The home would be modern and
up-to-date in every respect and to
meet all Of the requirements Of a
Pythian Home. Reading rooms for
the boys, with proper reading matter
for the young minds would also be
Feature of the venture Many feel that
| the time has come that the people Of
the city should do something for their
boys. Provide proper amusement and
a proper place for amusement for your
boys and you will find the better side
of the boy will be touched, instead of
the cigarette fiend and idler you will
develop an inspiration for better
things, you will inspire the desire for
better things, and to do them, not to
sit around and dream them all day
long, but make of their ideal a reality.
The undertaking of this order is q
worthy one and it is hoped that every
citizen of Valley City, who believes in
the betterment of the boy, the better
ment of mankind and the social uplift
and advancement of Valley City should
put his shoulder to the wheel and
push this good work along.

COUNTY CALLS FOR A
BIG JOB OF RULING

The Times-Record is making up
1000 large ruled blanks, each 17x22
inches, for the Office of the county ALL

The fact that only few cities the size
of Valley City in the whole country are
prepared to do work of this kind tells
something of the equipment of the
Times-Record. The process of ruling
is a very interesting one and those who
have not seen it are invited to come
in and see how it is done.

Ravaqes of Rust.

Few people comprehend the extent
of purely normal wear and tear. Tit
Bits says that one large railway Sys'
TEN suffers loss of more than eight
cen tons of metal daily, due solely 70
the effect of rust. Thus far, the only
known preventive is to keep the metal
surface always covered with suit
able paint. Some idea of the coSth'
ness OF this remedy, however, may DO
gained from the fact hat it requires
about $1,000 annually TO paint one
large railway bridge alone.
A typical case of this kind is the
Forth bridge, on which corps Of
painters are constantly employed
since the weather makes repaintlng OF
one end of this large structure neces
sary before the workers have reacnea
the other. Although experiments ns'S
demonstrated that pure iron surrOunr
ed by oxygen does not rust, ana Ina'
some acid, especially carbonic aclO' u

steel and iron remains to be diSCOF

You agree with me?"
He had interposed his body be-
tween myself and the count so that /
had seen nothing of the proceedings.
Now, approaching, perceived that
the place which Mattel had been swab-
bing with the strips of sterilized gauze
which he had taken from his pocket
was absolutely uninjured. Mattel had
fired a blank cartridge.

Perhaps the ball is behind the ster-
mum. Is that your view?"
/ assented.
''And now" said Doctor Mattel, adj

The count shook his head and
turned his eyes on the doctors face
with an expression OF latent suspi-

recognize the bandit in him, but his
decision was final. What must have
been his agony Of mind, at the thought
of dying there!
II prefer to keep my consciousness"
he said. Il am expecting some friends
at Brunn. You will inform the sta
ton master that Count Berchtold is
injured, and have them admitted at
once to the hospital. And rely on
your discretion and secrecy"

shall not fall into the wrong hands"
Mattel bowed again, and, taking the
leather book from the coat pocket,
placed it in his own. He opened the
door, and the sounds of chattering,
which we had heard, became accentu-
ated. Somehow it had become sus-
pected that the wounded man was a
person of consequence. The conduc-
tor of the train and the passengers
were gathering along the corridor.
1--WE have not been able to find the
miscreant," the conductor stammered.
The train is going on in a few mo-
ments-"
AT once!" shouted Mattel, appar-
emily beside himself with anger. "A
mans life is at stake, and you will
hear about it if he dies"
The conductor ran toward the en-
CINE, the group dissolved, and the
train began to move The timid trades
man and the little boy resumed their
places. the maiden ladies, treasured
that their fellow-passenge would re-
cover, resumed their seats, Cabling

comment upon the pocketbook, al
though we were thinking Of little
else.
It seemed an eternity before we
reached Brunn, at half-past ten in the
evening. A telegram had been sent
from wayside station, and the am
bulance was waiting for US. Count
Berchtold was quickly transferred,
and we three accompanied him to the
hospital, a little old-fashioned build
ing outside the limits of the town. The
director was waiting for US on the
steps. He greeted Mattel nervously.
Il only received your message half
an hour ago., he said. 1T is difficult
to get a nurse at this hour, but the
