A fire starting about one

large elevator owned by Carl
Kreuger, of Fessenden, totally
destroyed the house and the
flames spread to smaller ele-

loss. Considerable grain in
the elevators was also Destroy

There is no clue to the origin

the Minot Optic Reporter, and
George Davis, editor of the
same publication. showed the

press gang, most of whom are
band men in their home towns.

a revelation even to many of
our local people and compli-
ments from the visitors were
more than flattering.

ing, the Overly News being
the delinquent one.

the time and carried a whole
steamer trunk of fun-making
contrivances.
Will Holbein bewailed the
fact that he could not bring a
photograph of Minot. But he
says the town is growing so
fast they have been unable to
get camera with quick enough
action to snap it.
H. P. Knappen says he is
going to buy the Mckenzie
Hotel at Bismarck and turn it
over to the boys for the winter
meeting.
c. w. Graves, secretary of
the Grand Forks Commercial

weather again looked threaten
ing. The guests were accord
ingly transported back to Botti-

Dear Deborah RuSh--I heartily agree
with "Iconoclast" that the "canons of
good.breeding" do not require the taking
off of ones hat in the presence of ladies'
in n public elevator. Rather, the habit
stamps one as n provincial: 1t indicates
good intentions, perhaps, but shows a lack
of knowledge,
a hotel elevator Is not a public but
private one. Hence. one riding in the
latter always takes off his hat in the pres
ence of ladies. A department store ee.
vator, however, is more akin to a store
than to n private room. and that fact is
recognized in New York London, Boston
and in other leading cities. We do not
take off our hats while buying goods 6f
a saleswoman, no matter how many women
may be purchasing goods at the same
counter
The law of good breeding is rational
1t asks nothing for which there Is no valid
reason. True chivalry can be shown and
the proper Difference exhibited without
ostentatious effort. We all know the type
of man who upon seeing a woman enter
a 'skysCraper" elevator ostentatiously
snatches off his hat and proceeds to ad.
monish all the "illbred" fellows who do
not follow suit with a crushing stare. The
"ill-bred" fellow may be the true gentle.
man at heart. He is broader and knows
customs in the world sense, while the youth
who has false conceptions shows his lack
of broadness by critcislng others who
have fine sense of the proprieties.
If there were no other reason for keep
ing ones hat on in public elevators, the
sanitary one of guarding against catching
cold would be sufficient. Besides, the prac-
tice is not only unnecessary and uncalled-
for, but unpracticable. in crowded public
elevators. COSMOPOLITE
1t is n courteous thing to do neverthe-
less, though not required by etiquette
