OF all the sections of our state,
We love dear Emmons, true and great:
The one in which we spend our days
In teaching schooi-and other WAYS
We love her fair and pretty girls,
Their smiling :ace--and dangling
cur!s:
We love her though she sometimes
hirts,
Which gives Us pain-and really hurts.
We love her strong and manly sons,
That meets the world howe'cr ii
comes:
That fight like men for what is right,
And ncvcr show the feather white
Chorus:
We love the children thnt wc meet,
Upon the prairie or the street;
Well lead them by the little hand
Through pastures grccn--to golden
sands
The teachers come from every state,
To North Dakota, broad and great;
She gives to each Il welcome hand
Unites them in u happy land
The Hoosicrs here with smiling face
The Badger seems not out Of place;
The Gopher and the Coyotes here
And some from every state so dear.
We're here to do our very best,
And leave with Higher Power. the
rest;
Wen go and face lifc's battles great
And sure well make better state
Chorus:

LOSES FIGHT WITH DEATH.
". E. Petrie, Pioneer Linton
Merchant, Succumbs to Per-
nicious Anaemia.

After a hopeless battle for year
and half with that mysterious and
dread disease which physicians name
"pernicious anaemia," one of Linton's
pioneer and most highly-honored cit
izens has been called away by death.
Wallace E. Petrie is dead. His
death took place at $3.50 p. m. Satur-
day, November 25, 1916.
One year ago last June the Petrie
family first became aware that the
beloved husband and father was seri-
ously i'll. He had been complaining
somewhat Of listlessness and weak
ness, and it was decided to seek med
ical treatment. DR.. Quain, of Bis
marck, was consulted and at once pro-
nounced his patient in serious con-
dition, the more so because his all
ment is one that as yet the medical
profession knows but little, and one
wich rarely responds to treatment.
While perhaps the patient could hard
ly credit the belief that his life was in
danger, the others of the family were
deeply alarmed. Rest and care was
the only hope held out to him. But it
was serious thing to suddenly break
away from the many cares of the large
, mercantile business which he had fos-
tered from its infancy. However,
many of his cares had to be left to
other hands. That fall a trip was ar
ranged for medical treatment and the
milder climate of Los Angeles, Cal.
Little improvement resulted. In fact,
it was in the California city that the
TRANSMISSION of blood was resorted to
in an attempt to give him strength.
It was there that L. M. Doerschlag,
Of Braddock,- who but few months
later was to assist in bearing the NOR
tai remains of his old friend to its last
resting place, was one of those to Of
fer blood for. the TRANSMISSION. Mr..
Petrie would seem to rally to some de-
gree, but relief would be but tempo
rary. At last, no hope could be held
out to him by the Los Angeles physi-

the trip and he and the members Of his
family with him started for the noted
Mayo hospital at Rochester, MINI.
Arriving there he was told that only q
slight possible hope might be held out
to him by an operation to remove the
spleen. It was done, without success
All that the best surgeons md medical
men could do had proved unavailing
In response to the patients desire, he
was removed to the Bismarck hospital
and q few weeks later to his home.
From the time that Mr.. Petrie made
the final trip to Linton it was gener.
ally known by hilnself and the mem.
bers Of his family that nothing could
be done and that death was but ques.
ton of months. He had been growing
weaker, but his mind was active ant
his bodily Inconvenience little. But
doomed to slow and lingering
though certain death, he remained
cheerful, conversing with friends ant
relatives at all times and asking fol
short rides into the country until he
became too weak and the weather toe
severe to continue them further. His
interest in his business affairs remain.
ed keen until the last few weeks wher
in his weakened condition, it became
an effort to talk. Only a few months
ago he was taken for ride to the
McCulley farm and at once asked tc
be taken to the barn to see how the
pigs were getting along.
Always noted for his strength OF
mind, it was only in these last months
that it was possible to appreciate his
power Of sef-contrpl. In fact, only
his indomnitable fighting power stayed
the hand of death for SO long time
doomed death, as xc all knew, :.
refused to give way.
Wallace E. Petrie was born on De.
cember 27, 1862, at Fulton, Oswege
county, New York. At the age o1
twelve he moved with his parents tt
