The Egotist.

It is only narrow mind which re-
fuses TO listen TO reasonable argu-
ment. The broad mind is always open
to conviction. This is a well-known
fact, and yet every one of us numbers
among his acquaintance at least half
dozen "cocksure" persons. This
trait Of being too positive is sufficient
ly unpleasant in a man, but it is inf
nitely worse in a girl. In the first
place, it is incompatible with tho gem
tleness of real femininity; in the sec
ond. it is irritating and annoying TO
friends and acquaintance. and in the
third, it is an indication OF narrow
mind, which should in itself be sufi-
cient TO keep any girl from cultiyat.

WA7 EFFECTS FAR-REACHING
Complain Of the Prolonged Con-
flict Of European Powers.

There seems no connection be-
tween a piece of gingerbread and
13-inch shell, and yet there is. The
name of this affinity is "Molasses."
Just old-time 'blackstrap," which is
sometimes seen in the lumber camps.
The demand for alcohol for use in
making explosives is so heavy that
manufacturers have looked around
for something cheaper than corn.
They found it in Louisiana black
strap, and that sticky, slow-howing
commodity now goes into the make
up of one of the most tremendous
energies in the world. 1t has proved
such success that its price is now
about four times what it was two
years ago. The Louisiana producers
have reason TO hug themselves, but
some OF the southwestern producers
of alfalfa feel correspondingly de-
pressed, because it makes difference
in the price of their crop. Alfalfa is
ground and mixed with blackstrap
for cattle feed. 1t is used princi-
pally for fattening beeves, and the
steers take it as child does candy.
The high price has made its use I'M
profitable, and the poor beef steer
misses his usual condiment now, be-
cause instead of being fed to him,
and indirectly feeding people, it is
used to blow up men. Corn and mo-
lasses, two of the principal essen
tials for producing a juicy beefsteak,
are now used for purposes of destruc-
tion.-Wall Street journal.

LEADS ALL IN CARPET MAKING
In Volume Of Production Philadelphia
Is Easily the First City in
the World.

More than third of all American
carpets are woven in Philadelphia,
which, 1t is claimed, leads any other
city in the world in the volume of pro-
duction. Wilton, in England, has
given it's name to one of the most
widely known and useful rugs in the
world, but now the Wilton rug-produc-
ing center of the world is In Phila-
delphia. Administer, too, gave its name
to a carpet. but it long ago ceased
to produce any of it. Brussels like
wise is known all over the earth for
its carpets, but Brussels does not be-
gin to produce the carpets and rugs
which are turned out in Philadelphia
Philadelphia enterprise embarked in
the carpet business while Washing
ton was president of the United
States, but it was not until more
than hail a century later that Penn
sylvania led all the states in carpet
production. AS early as 1871 there
was a factory in Philadelphia engaged
in the manufacture of Administer and
Turkey carpets. China and Russia
send to Philadelphia most of the long,
coarse wool used in the manufacture
Of the finest Wiltons.

In a Small Room.

When a bedroom or small dressing
room is papered with anything but a
plain or neutral paper, bright-colored
or lowered chintz should never be
used, but often little color is needed
to add tone to the room. In a case
Of this kind one of the new bedspreads
which are so pretty and easily made
is just the thing to give the neces-
sary color. Select a plain, white
spread of good quality and rather
heavy.
Cut from chintz a bunch of roses
or a spray Of gay-colored flowers, and
basic one in each corner with a larg
er one for the center. Sew to the
spread and finish the raw edges with
a fine feather stitch or with a long
and short buttonhole stitch.
This idea can be carried out for
scarfs to cover the dressing table and
bureau. Make the scarf of linen cut
to fit the top of each and finish the
edges with a scallop or a hem and
finish this with the stitch that was
used on the spread. Cut out the flow.
ers and applique to the edges of the
scarf. Bunches of the same flowers
can be added to the corners OF the
white curtains with good effect.

SOME CREDIT DUE TO HARRY
Recovery Of Needed Money Could Not
Be Called Altogether an Act Of
Providence.

Three or four years before he was
married he had, in a reckless moment,
loaned to a good friend the trifiing
sum Of 800 A year later he had be-
gun to throw out gentle hints that he
knew Of a good dividend-paying stock
he could buy for 800 a share. But
Good Friend didn't come across. When
he was about to buy furniture for his
new home he plainly told Good Friend
he needed the coin, but that individual
changed the subject. After he had
settled down to the hum-drum of mar
ried life he and his wife often would
speak of the many nice things they
could buy with that 500.
She was a firm believer In Provi-
dence, he was somewhat infrm. One
day he lost his Job, and the weeks
went by, and he didn't find another.
Then his wife took sick; her mother
came to live with them-things went
from b. to W., generally, and he talked
OF shooting himself His wife told him
to cheer up, to be brave, and not to
despair-the Lord would provide for
them Trust in Providence, she said.
And the very next day, after that little
sermon. letter came to him, with a
check for 500 enclosed
Didn't I tell your" she cried.
Didn't | tell you? It's the hand OF
Providence, Harry, nothing elsel"
Then I'm Providence he said, "for
I wrote Bill letter 'tother day and
told him if he didn't come up I'd come
down and take that hundred out of his
hide. with compound interest, even If
went to the pen for it,"

History of the Poster.

The poster, now on view at the
Whitechapel art gallery, carries us
back to bygone London by its name
alone. For 1t gained that name by
being originally stuck TO the posts
which protected foot passengers in
the streets In the days before raised
sidewalks appeared. The modern ar.
tistic poster began in France about
1886, Lalance being the artist 10 turn
his skin TO advertisement work. His
posters, however. were only in black
and white, and II was another thirty
years before the colored poster came
into vogue with the work OF Jules
Cheret London chioalcle.

Court Opens Next Mon
day For Short Term

The term of court which con-
venes in this city commencing on
Monday of next week will no doubt
be short one. as there are only
few cases on the calendar. 1t is
will be asked for in the case Of the
state against Julius Carlson, who is
charged with assault with a dan
gerous weapon. Attorney J. J..
Coyle of Minot is representing
Carlson. The other criminal case,
that Of the state against the Elgie
boys will no doubt be tried here.
The Elgie boys are charged with
stealing grain and their interests
are being looked after by City At
torney F. E. Heckel.
Among the civil cases which are
to be tried the one Of Il. C. Kreug-
er VS.. the First State Bank Of Bow
bells and the one of John Romine
attract the most attention. The
latter case is where Romine alleges
that Stefonowiz published false
and defamatory article in reference
to the plaintiff, and that on account
of said article ROmine has been in
iured and damaged to the extent of
$1,000 and he asks for a judgment
for this amount. Shortly before
the suit was brought and after the
article was published Romine serv-
ed demand for a retraction on
Stefonowicz asking that each and
every statement in the article be
retracted. Knowing that every
statement made in the article was

yithout malice and in good faith

voters Of Burke county, Stefon-

large crowd is expected.
The reason for giving this dance
is that the Woodmen need the money
and are taking this means of rails

the treasury of the lodge was de-
pleted, and it was up to the mem
bers to- either raise the assessment
of members or raise the money in
some other way After talking the
matter over it was finally decided
to hold a big dance, and this was
agreed to by all. Every member of
the lodge is interested in the dance,
and will naturally do all in his
power to make it suhcess. For
that reason The Tribune cannot
help but see that this grand ball
will be the largest attended. the
best managed, and in every way
the biggest success of any dance
ever held here If you want good
time you should not fail to buy a
ticket and come with either your
wife or sweetheart:
