THE morning mail brought to us sheet

December 3, 1911.
The following has been sent to me by an artist
friend in New York city. with request that for
ward II to nine personal friends within that mum;
ber of days. take pleasure in doing this. and
trust that you will not break the chain:
AN ANCIENT PRAYER
o Lord. implore Thee to bless all mankind;
Bring to Thee, keep us to dwell with
Thee.
This prayer is TO he sent all over the world; II
said in ancient times that all who passed 1t by
would meet with calamity misfortune
Copy It and send 1t to nine of your friends within
nine days, and on the tenth day you Will meet with
great JOY.
Don't break the chain.
Please pass II along to nine of your friends,
part OF the general plan. and may the Great Joy
mentioned In the letter and other good things come
to you on the tenth day.
The old Irish had n form of objurgation,
to be applied to all nuisances, which pecu-
liarly fits the superstitious smpleton who
started this thing. ITO the wars with him!"

links of that chain within reach of our fist.

"A document more shameful than this, :"

FORMS OF SALUTATION.

Common forms of salutation in America are
the bow the kiss, words of address and shaking
hands.
Acquaintance are usually entitled to the
courtesy OF a bow II is poor policy TO refuse
recognition because of a trifling difference be-
tween parties.
A gentleman who may be smoking when he
meets lady should, in bowling. remove the
cigar from his mouth,
gentleman should not bow from window
TO lady on the street, though he may bow
slightly from the street upon being recognized
by a lady in a window Such recognition should,
however, generally be avoided, as gossip is
likely 10 attach undue importance TO IT,.

a nights rest the festivities will begin,
and while they are here they will be
kept on the go from early till late.
On Monday noon Governor and Mrs.
Hanna and immediate party will be
the guests at luncheon given by the
officers and directors of the exposition.
That evening some other function will
likely be held in their honor In the
afternoon at 2:30 the program for
North Dakota Day will be given at the
North Dakota building and will be at
tended by the officers of the exposition
and the commissioners from the for
eign countries and the several states
represented at the exposition. Among

Saturday, June 5th, the first race Of
the season was pulled off at the San
Francisco exposition race track. 1t
was the 2:07 pace, and Beaver, Can
adam horse, owned and driven by Will
Fleming, won all three heats, the fast
est one being 2:05 IA.
Due to the exertion or from some
other cause this pampered prince of
the horse kingdom went off his feed
the following day, and after his groom
had tried every delicacy known to
equines, the owner came to the North
Dakota building and coaxed John
Fryeberger, who has charge of the
grain and grass exhibit in the build
ing, for feed of the celebrated North
Dakota corn. Of course, John was on
" too glad to save the valuable
horses life and selected some of the
best corn in the exhibit for the ban
quet. 1t is only true to say that Bea-
yer relished his meal and is again feel
ing as clipper as the proverbial two
year-old colt behind band Of music!

WESLEY COLLEGE CONFERS
DEGREE ON REV, ASHER

Rev. James Asher, district superin-
tendent Of the Minot district of the
Methodist church, was today made a
Doctor of Divinity by Wesley college
at Grand Forks. The honor is in rec

as minister and his fidelity to duty
during the years of his ministry.
Doctor Asher graduated from Wes-
ley college in 1898 when that institu-
ton of learning was located at Wah-
peton. Following his graduation from
that school he served the church at
Aneta as pastor for one year and that
at Page for year and half. He
then went to Boston university where
he spent four years of work, receiving
the degree of S. P. D. from that school
Of theology. During his years in that
school he served charge at Lynn,
Mass, and at other places in that
state. When he returned to North
Dakota he was made pastor of the
church at Grafton, serving for three
years. He was next pastor of the
Edgeley church for two years and
then went to Darlington, where he
served for four years, being made dis
trict superintendent Of the Minot dis
trict at the end of that time. He has
been in charge of the work in that
capacity ever since.

at the North Dakota building this
week. He was most welcome, for he
brought the news that the land men of
North Dakota were receiving four
times the inquiries for land this year
as compared to those of the last five
years. Mr.. Anderson was much
pleased with the fine exhibit of grains
and grasses in the North Dakota
building, and said he had heard about
the exhibit all along the road out here
from people who had visited the expo
sition and were on their way home.
The state of North Dakota has been
