NUMERICAL CLUB
ANNUAL BANQUET
Given Last Night at the Shirley Hotel
A Grand Affair

The annual banquet of the
Commercial Club Of BOttineau
was held last night at the Shir-
ley hotel. One hundred and
fifteen ladies and gentlemen Of
the Commercial club sat down
to one of the best feeds of the
season. The big dining room
of the hotel was beautifully de-
corated and everything added
to the pleasure of the evening,
After the two courses of the
dinner served. the club was
favored w i t h speeches and
musical numbers.
E. G. Bowen, president of
the club for the past year acted
as toastmaster and after few
we'll chosen remarks concern
ing what the club has accomp-
lished in the past year, called
on Mr.. +. A. H. Smith, President
of the club, who expressed him
self as being heart and sonl
with the Commercial club and
always ready to take up any
worthy movement along COM
mercial club lines. The next
speaker called was Supt. L. H.
Darling ofthe of the high school,
who spoke on the growth of
schools in the past few years
and brought to light that the
Bottineau high school ranked
very high among the first class
high schools of the state. The
next number was vocal solo
by Mrs. Geo. 3. McMillen and
was very much enjoyed by her
audience.
The next speaker was Mrs.
DIR. Leonard who spoke on the
Bottineau Public Library. Mrs.
Leonard has devoted a consid-
erable amount of time to the
public library and was thor
oughly acquainted with doings
along this line. Mrs. Leonard
said that the library now had
$50 books, with more coming
and also had some cash.
Rev. Meyers of the Presby-
terian church then spoke on
the local churches and with the
use of several short stories prov
ed to be a good entertainer.
The next number was a vocal
solo by r. B. Smith and this
also was enjoyed by the listen
ers.
Atty. J. J. Weeks was then
called on and spoke of the In
justice of Justice and laid a few
court facts before the club as
argument.
F. w. Smith of the School of
Forestry then spoke on the do
ings of the legislature at Bis
marck and among other things
said that he was in Bismarck
while the Bottineau county
representatives were taken to
the penitentiary in special
car-to view the works, of
course.
Toastmaster Bowen then ex-
pressed the feelings of those
present in a vote of thanks to
Steinmeier & Kelley for the
way they had taken care of the
banquet. Mr.. Bowen also stat
ed that the Grand Theatre was
running a special performance
for those wishing to attend af-
ter the banquet. The evening
was closed after an occasion
which will be remembered
throughout the year to come,
by the singing of our national
h y m n, America, everyone
standing.
We wish to add that the
many things that have been
done during the past year by
the commercial club stands
back of it and may it always
live and may we have another
such banquet a year from
now.

A WARNING.
The Utter UseIessness of Taking .
Course In German.

A customer during trying on
asked her dressmaker, whose son
was at college, if he were pursuing
a general course or specializing in
any particular branch. The answer
came promptly, through a mouthful
of pins:
"Sanskrit, ma'am. He's specializ-
ing in Sanskrit. ! can't say but I'd
have preferred something a bit
more usual in the way of education
something more plain tailor made
for every day like. Sanskrit's such
fussy study"
Her criticism, if oddly worded,
was comprehensive and not unin-
telligent. Less reasonable and equal
ly unexpected were the remarks of
an old farmer in a remote hill vii
lage upon the favorite studies of his
son. lie had always beer suspicious
of the higher education and was far
from pleased when his Joe, whom
he wished to keep on the farm, OBJ
tanned a scholarship.
Languages may be all right for
folks that's born TO 'em in foreign
parts" he declared recently, with
impressive deliberation, ''but man
that amt had better talk plain
Yankee and do things.
''To see that boy of mine sit down
with book ye can't read, saying
over words we can't sense-jest put
ser, putter, mutter, mutter, sputter,
sputter-why, it makes me fair sick.
And for all he's been at it most a
year, he can't make those Italians
on the highway understand three
words together. He owns himself
he can't"
at is Italian he is studying,
thenw the listener murmured po
litcly.
"No, 'tain't; it's German" admit
ted the old man in a reluctant
growl. "But precious poor ex.
