The whole state of North
Dakota owes a debt OF graft
tude to James Warren Brown.
who retires July | from the
supcrintendenCy of the state
reform school at Nandan. He
has done a work of inCalCuIable
good in bringing Juvenile de
linUuents back from erring
ways to efficient service for
society. For forty-four years
he has seen active service in
this meritOrius work in this
and other states. During these
years he has seen rapid strides
made in the development of
reformatorv work and great
changes in public opinion and
state action have taken place.
He has led in the vanguard of
this work and has proved him
self the real and trustv friend
of the boys. Like a father, he
has watched over them and di-
reCted them to the paths of
usefulness and happiness.
The affection which is felt
for him by the boys is one sure
token of the measure of his
success, a success that can on
Nv be measured by the intangi-
bic formulH of the soul. for it
is above all material standards
of measurement. Supt. Brown
has achieved national reputa.
ton in reform school work. and
as the boys friend he has been
called the Ben Lindsey of
North Dakota.' 1t has been
rightly said that the fOunda-
tions of society in this state
have been made the more Sc
cure by his work. His has
been an efficient work of re-
Clamation of badly disposed
children.
Born of old New England
stock, and educated in New
England. he brought to his
task an equipment that Contri-
buted to Ii large success in his
work. but above this, he pos
sessed the personality that in
sured a splendid achievement.
Possessed of a nature that
grew serious. minded under the
stress Of his work, he has also
been an unassumin2, devoted

edge of human nature and it's

The first Pullman sleeping car, con
structed in 1864 in the shops Of the
Alton and Chicago and called the Pho
neer. served as the funeral coach for
President Lincoln. Its cost was $18,-
600. which was regarded in those days
as most extravagant, and as 1t was
higher and wider than the ordinary
cars and the c%learances of station plat
forms and bridges when it was decid-
ed that it should be the funeral coach

He Didn't Coliude.

An English laborer was being tried
with a supposed accomplice for poach-
ing. which he stoutly denied. The
magistrate retorted that the evidence
went to show that at least he was in
COLLISION with the other person. The
laborer here interrupted and said he
wasn't in Collision. It was In K
that he met the other man." The
court explained the meaning Of sthe
word "collusion." but it did not deter
the other from proceeding with his de-
Tense. There war no collision tween

If a man shows a disposi-
ton to provide for his old
age, don't discourage him
by saying he is stingy; our
most pitiful tragedies are
cid people who r poor
and neglected. Ed. Howe
of AtchisOn.
The anniversary Of u ma
tional indepence is at hand
again, bringing with it, to
thoughtful persons, the query,
Am | really independent?
BY this suggestion we do not
mean to question the average
citizens political, mental or
moral freedom. We refer sole
~ to financial independence or
the lack of it. :
40 man or woman depend
INC solely upon earnings IS
truly independent, because
when earnings fail, the Garner
is at once dependent upon
somebody or something aside
from his own efforts.
The real reason for saving is
found in the fact that a man
does not earn a uniform income
from the beginning to the end
of his life, whereas his neCes-
stiles remain practically uni
form, or, if anything, increase
with advancing years.
All childhood days are un-
productive, during which time
he is cared for by parents or
friends. Many of his declin-
ing years are also unfruitful. SO
that during the active portion
of his life he must provide for
old age, if he wishes to assure
himself the necessities and
comforts of life when his earn
ing days are over.
So the path of financial in
dependence leads through the
savings bank, and the really
independent Americans are
those whose names are found
in bank pass-books recording
constantly increasing deposits,
with occasional Withdrawals
for good. permanent invest
ments.
