Jake Schmidt of Wilton has the
proper feeling buried deep in his
breast. Jake attended the Leap Year
ball, all decked out in evening dress,
and it seems that he was the only

by so doing. Upon inquiry, Jake in.

soiled his best trousers the evening
before, when he got connected with
the syrup pail. And anyway, if !
were going to attend banquet given

naturally I would wear evening dress,

Bismarck men prOmincntin probes
sional, clerical, business and public
life have been extended ansinvitation
by John S. Spear, superintendent OF
the Bismarck Indian school, to deliv-
err series of Sunday evening ad-
dresses to the pupils Of that institu-
ton. Superintendent Spear hopes
that the inauguration Of this innOva-
ton will result in bringing about a
closer relationship between Bismarck
and the school, which, although it is
located within the corporate limits Of
the city, has been visited by compar-
atively few of our people.
In commenting upon this condition
yesterday, a friend Of the institution
which, with the completion Of the
dormitory for which provision has
been made in the current Indian bill,
will bring to Bismarck more than 200
students from the adjoining reserya-
lions, said:
"A very small percentage of Bis
marck people have ever visited our
school. Many business men have
lived in this city for several years
and do not know today where the
school is located Others do not
even know that Bismarck has an In
dian school. I think this condition
should be changed"

Bismarck people generally are in
vited by Superintendent Spear to at
tend these Sunday evening meetings,
the first of which will be announced in
the near future. It is only few min
utes' drive and a very pleasant walk

FULFILLING LlNcoLN's PLEDGES

John Driscoll of Hampton, Va, pass
es through the Panama canal. He
will go on battleship, as a guest of
the United States. And the occasion
will be as significant to the nation
as to the passenger himself.
Fifty-four years ago Driscoll was
a member of the crew of the Mont
tor in it's famous battle with the
Merrimac in Hampton Roads. The
Merrimac was the first of armored
warships. 1t had quickly proved its
value by wholesale destruction of
wooden warships. Cannon balls
glanced harmlessly from its sloping
steel roof. 1t seemed destined to an

written to influence him against Ara-
memon Schliemann, former Greek min
lister to the United States. He also
said he had not heard criticisms al

Schliemann
According to Mr.. Bryan. the sale Of
the battIeshiDs was a matter which
rested entirely with the navy depart
ment. He admitted that gunfire con

by the navy department without his
knowledge or that the state depart-
ment might have attended to some de-
tails Of routine work without his Der
