HOW ABOUT THE OLD MAN?

A woman appeared at the Office Of
the claim agent of western railroad.
"Yo' steam cars is done kilt my mule,
SALLY" she announced in decidedly
tragic manner.
s'Well, madam" replied the agent,
eff it was the fault of the company
you will be recompensed, you may be
sure. What were the circumstances
and what was the mule worth ?"
"Sally was the best mule All ever
had," said the woman, as she wiped
her wet eyes with her bonnet string.
"Ah done plowed with that mule for
goin' on nine years, an thar warn't
nothin' the matter with her 'ceptin'
she was leetle lame in her nigh hind
leg and kinder blind in one eye. All
give $40 and three bed quilts an two
pecks o. dried pears for her, an she
! was as good as the day All got her"
where was the mule killed :" the
agent asked.
"Hit war at the crossin', an yo' fast
mail train jest knocked her plumb
over that fence an inter gully!" was
the woman's reply.
"And the mule strayed upon the
track, I presume 2" queried the agent
ooh, no." she declared, "Sally never
would a. been fool enough to walk il
front of no train-my old man was
4 ridin' her!"

RED CROSS CHRISTMAS SEALS

The Red Cross Christmas Seals
have been received and the Magic City
will again be given the. opportunity Of
making the same good record that it
has made in the past. These Red
Cross Seals will be sold all over the
state of North Dakota from now on
until December 31st. They cost one
cent apiece, and this year the Christ
mas idea is especially well carried out
in the seals design. They make very
attractive seals for Christmas pack
ages, letters and cards. The public
should put at least one on every piece
of mail and stand loyal to another one
of North Dakota's State Institutions.
The entire amount of money receiv-
ed from the sale of these seals goes to
the North Dakota tuberculosis SAM
forum. This Sanitorium is located in
the Turtle Mountains near Dunseith.
At present it is maintained for the
treatment of tuberculosis in it's early

Gators Of the state and nation ID shown
by the fact that he has served rs pres
ident Of the state association, state
director Of the national educational
association, and that he has appeared
many times on programs Of this nat
ional organization, being the only pub
lie school man to date in the state to
be given a place on the general pro-
gram of the N. E. A. He is now q
member of the National Council Of
Education, the parent and supervising
body of'the N. E. A., and whose mem
bership is limited to 1870, he being the
sole representative from this State.
He is also special collaboration in the
U. S. Bureau Of Education, receiving
this honorary appointment on account
of high-grade reports and pamphlets
that he has prepared during the past
four years pertaining. to rural and
consolidated schools.
Supt. Macdonald is virtually a
North Dakota product, having lived
here over thirty years, coming here
from Canada when nine years of age.
He was raised on farm in Cavalier
county and upon which his mother
and brother still live. Coming thru
the pioneer days of frequent crop fail
ures, he worked his way unaided thru
high school, normal school and college.
He is in sympathy with all movements
tending to make farm life more prof
table and congenial and to make the
lot of all that labor more pleasant
one. His great ambition it to take
larger part in the movement that will
bring to country children educational
facilities that are as free and as equal
as those enjoyed by city children.

stages, but by January l, 1916, it will
be equipped to care for limited num-
Der of advanced cases. The Sanitor-
ium is in charge Of a competent adj
ministration. Great care is used, first
in the admission of patient and then
in his treatment. The charges for pa
tients are entirely governed by Chap
ter 264 of the 1915 Session Laws.
These seals were placed on sale in
Minot Wednesday, Dec 9Th. They
have been distributed at the different
places of business, the Y. w. C. A.,
the State Normal school and dormi-
tory. Citizens should not have to be
solicited. Ask at the stores for them
when making Christmas purchases.
Insist upon having them for the decor
alton of Christmas parcels and at the
same time at one cent apiece help in
the work that is being done in our
state and not another, for the preven-
ton and cure of tuberculosis.

How We Did 1t

We went to the publishers of these maga-
zines and told them about this city. How it's
population has increased How its wealth
has increased How its trade has increased
How its bank clearings have increased We
showed them how desirable it was for them, and
for their advertisers, that they should have
large circulation herel Then we showed them
how this paper was the one paper in this city to
make this offer, and how we knew that the cit
liens of this city would welcome this opportunity
enthusiastically.

The Big Saving

If you bought either of these magazines
at the newsstand each month you would pay fif-
teen cents for it. If you bought both of them you
would pay thirty cents. One magazine purchased
this way for the year would cost you $1.8O. Both
magazines $500. Now, in place of having the
bother of going to the newsstand for your copy,
you will receive the magazines each month by
mail at your home, promptly on publication date,
Furthermore, you will only pay each month few
cents more than this paper alone would cost. II
is big, big saving in convenience and in money.

| BRYAN AS A
! JOURNALIST.

William Jennings Bryan in an adj
dress at the exposition in San Fran
cisco yesterday advised signed stories
and editorials in newspapers.
Here's d chance for The humble
amanuensis. 1t is said that in an
cient Rome rich men bought slaves
which had been captured by the le-
gions and sold on the block. Some
of these captives, it is alleged, had
much greater intelligence and mental
powers than their masters. The lat
ter, anxious to become prominent,
employed these persons in writing
books which were credited to their
Roman owners. 1t is often suggested
that the slaves poked fun at their
masters, but the latter had not suffi-
cient judgment to realize the fact.
The heroine of Eugene Sues
"Wandering Jew" (Mme. Cardoville)
is represented as being wealthy, al
though entertaining plebian views.
When entertaining she displayed
much silver, upon each piece of which
a name was engraved. A guest on
one occasion was studying the names
when he observed that his hostess
evidently purchased her silverwarc
outside of Paris, as the names on the
same were not those of dealers in
the French capital.
Nine Cardovil'e answered her
guest by telling him all she possessed
in that line was purchased of Pari-
sian dealers, but that she invariably
asked the name of the artisan of any
thing in that line which attracted her
attention, and upon purchasing it IN
sisted Mat the man who had con-
ceived and executed the work be
given the credit. She further said
that most dealers in such wares were
themselves devoid Of genius, al
though they generally received all
the credit. She therefore made 1t q
rule to place the name of the work
man instead of the salesman upon
her silverware.

ANONYMOUS
CORRESPONDENTS.

The Gazette occasionally receives
communications from persons COM
planning Of this and that, and often
propounding pertinent queries. Most
of such. however, fail to send their
names and, of course, their mlsSlves
fail to appear. The rule in operation
in this office was formulated by the
publishers Of the Gazette about the
close of continental days and those
now at its head show no variabIeness
or shadow of turning from it. A
communication was sent to this office
today in which the writer complains OF
certain local conditions. His identity
to us is as much Of a secret as the au-
thor of the Junius letters. Of course,
it will not be published under these
circumstances.
The Gazette kept notice for many
years at the head of its first page
notifying correspondents of the fulfill
ty of attempting to get anonymous
communications in this paper. But
it becomes necessary at times to re-
peat it.
Often thouehtless persons who de-
sire to remain incognito would make
the newspaper their bludgeon when
they take issue with officials ant
others. 1t is stated again that such
knights of the quill had better employ
their time in some more profitable
! channels, as their effusions cannot be
printed without their names accom-.
! tsnying their productions.

The "reminiscences of that eventfui
day have often been reproduced ando
today fifty years later, bring forth
sorrowful recollections. The most
pathetic feature was the distress OF
Mrs. surratt's daughter, who repair
ed to the White House and made tu-
tile attempts to plead with President
Johnson for her mothers life. She
was denied permission to enter, ana
while she was rushing frantically to
and fro in the grounds of the execu-
tive mansion Mrs Surratt was explr-
ing on the gallows.
The quartet executed for compllc-
ity in the crime-Payne, Herold, Atz-
erodt, and Mrs. Surrat-were buried
in the arsenal grounds Immediately
after the execution. President John
son granted permission to relatives
to remove the bodies in 1869, where
upon they were taken from the arse
nal to burying grounds in other
parts of the city.
Herold's remains are now in Con-
gressional Cemetery, not far from the
southeast bridge over which Booth
passed before ne joined the youth in
his endeavor to escape. There is no
stone or mark to reveal his resting
place. The whereabouts Of Payne's
body is not known, since the abandon
ment of the old Holmead Cemetery,
in west Washington, where the re-
mains were placed after being taken
from the arsenal. Atzerodt's body
lies in GlenwooG Cemetery, while
the remains of Mrs. Surratt, marked
by a simple headstone, bearing the
lone words, "Mrs. Surratt," are in
Mt. Olivet.
