husband, lie never guessed that while
he was eating she was working furi-
Ously in the kitchen, nor dreamed that
the coffee and cereal, bacon, eggs and
mullins were all the result of his
wife's efforts with the cookbook and
stove.
After breakfast Mrs. Lester ordered
quickly and deity over the phone, and
then came the stupendous undertaking
of getting 20 luncheons ready for the
men at the factory by 1880.
Then came dinner, and though Mrs.
Testers arms ached from the unaccus-
toned labor, and though she was all
most dropping under the task, she was
Supremacy happy. She had left q note
in her husbands room saying that she
had gone TO spend the dag with a
friend and would not be home Till nine,
and at that hour she stole into Mrs.
Landis' room long enough to put on
her big cloak and hat that she had left
there for that purpose. Then, pinch
ing n little color into her tired face,
she trIpped smllingly into her hus-
bands room. II bad been wonderful
day of achievement, and she could
hardly wait till Mrs. Lands returned
she was due at ten that nlght-to
hear what she would say.
"Such wonderful day as | have

Of explaining the happiness that she
knew must be shining from her face.

"And you have wanted TO keep house
and haven't told me-" she whispered
"And for all these months and years
I've lOnged for something to do anC

But that was all she had time t.
say, for Mrs. Lands rushed through
the half-opened door. She had arrived
and Martha. now down stairs for tn
first time, had told her.
"Bless your heart" she said, puttini

Sure Thina.

The old jokes are often better than
the new. Years ago a Cincinnati mer-
chant used to have Il sure-ihing joke
that he worked on his friends with
great success. lie would meet man
and start crldcizing the mans personal
appearance, and would wait until the
man got good and hot under the collar.
Then the merchant would rub it in by
Offering to bet that the other man
didn't have whole shirt on his back.
The bet was always eagerly and indlg-
nantly taken, and the merchant, the
victim and the Stockholders would re-
tire to room. There the victim would
take Off his cOat and vest and display
his shirt. The result was always the
same. The Stockholders had to admit
that the victim did not have whole
shirt on his back. Half Of the shirt
was on his hack. anu the '!her half
] on his chest.

IS one Of the worst. Ets@ . child can
feel its appeal for the pill is thickly
coated with sugar, and every child's
interest" draws it to sugar, even
though a stomach ache OF something
worse may result. Where, pray, are
we to begin and where end in this
weighty responsibility of needing and
catering to the interests of youth?
Was there ever normal boy who did
tiot successfully show an "iniercst" in
running q candy store, in becoming a
policeman, or mOtorman, or an en-
gineer, or the captain of an ocean
liner? Can we conceive Of red-blOod-
cd youth to whom electricity and ma
chinery and chemical experiments do
not bring their special appeal? Would
we regard a boy as having ordinary in
telligence who could not readily
learn to understand the mechanism of
his fathers automobile? AS school
master / am only too well aware that
fathers with such normal sons see UNI
inistakable signs of budding genius in
this natural ability of youth; but as
an ordinary individual | am disposed
to class these deluded parents with
those whose sons have ''never told Il

INCIDENT MRS. LESTER.
BY OSBORN JONES.

Every one agreed that pretty Mrs.
Testers besetting sin was lndOleneei
"Of course. nry woman could have
pretty hands and well-manicured nails
IL she didn't ever have TO do anything"
said Mrs. Lands, the clearinghouse
keeper, to the old maid school teaclcf.
who replied promptly:
"Yes, and any woman could seem
light-hearted If she didn't have carel
or trouble In the world"
As matter OF fact, Mrs. Lester was
indolenl. But she was not altogether
happy.
If any one had asked Mrs. Lester
why she boarded instead of keeping
House size would have said Il was be-
catse her husband chose to live that
way. They had always done 1t in tile
three years of their married life. Tile
boarding house was convenient to tie
big factory where her husband worked
and houses were not plentiful. But
sometimes single tear fingered in
those soft brown eyes Of hers and
there was heetlng note of sadness in
her voice.
Then came the time when Mrs. Ian.
dis son had pneumonia at college. II
didn't prove to be hurd case, but it
was sufficiently alarming to make it
necessary for Mrs. Lands to pack her
wicker suitcase and betalIe her pOrtly
person to the college town. She
stopped long enough to give the cook
directions for ordering and to commit
the cure of the 80 boarders to her
keeping. Then she went to Mrs. Les
ter's room and told her.
81 know can't do much" said Mrs.
Lester, but 1t makes a lot of work for
poor Martha. Let me do the ordering
while you are gone"
This happened just after breakfast
so that Mrs. Lester went marketing
that morning at nine and bought even
more economically Than would Mrs
Lands herself, and no one at The
boarding house knew the difference

WILL MAKE
SPLENDID SHOWING
IN SALE OF BONDS

Campaign for subscriptions to the
Liberty Loan fund will be started in
earnest next week by the banks of
this city, No concerted effort has
been made by banking institutions of
Dickinson during this week, but
nevertheless a large number of sub
scriptions are reported. Officers of
the First National Bank report that
already about $4,000 worth of bonds
has been spoken for there, and other
banks of the. city report a number of
subscriptions. 1t is certain that there
will be a ready response when the
drive is started Monday, as it is be-
lieved it will be, and that quota of
this section will be far oversubscribed.
It is likely that a proclamation will
be issued by Governor Frazier desig-
mating the week beginning next Mon
day, May %, as Liberty Loan week
throughout the state. John H. Rich,
chairman of the Ninth Federal Re-
serve. Bank in Minneapolis, has wired
the governors of the Dakotas and
Montana. requesting that this be done.
Ministers of the city nave also been
asked to speak to their congrega-
tions the coming Sunday upon The
Liberty bonds, and the necessity for
liberal subscription to the fund.
Bankers of the Slope district will
give the matter of the sale of the
bonds special attention at their two
day meeting in Beach next Monday
and Tuesday. A large representation
of local banking officials will be in
attendance at the sessions. Mayor
Alfred White is president of the Slope
Bankers organization, and is also
chairman of this district in the drive
for Liberty funds. He is talking and
working Liberty loan to the exclusion
of everything else, and declares that
the Slope will make a great showing
in the campaign. ',

Miss Margaret Handtman arrived IN

month visiting relatives.
The annual Junior-Senior banquet
was served in the dining room of the
St. Charles hotel last Saturday even
;ng. and was a most brilliant affair.
Covers were laid for about SO, which
included the Junior and Senior classes
and the high school faculty. The
spread was served at a long U shaped
table, which was very pretty with
large vases Of red roses and candel-
abra. Rose petals were strewn down
the center of table. Dainty little
place cards tied with class colors were
used. The menu consisted, OF i've
courses and was most delicious and
appetizing. The menu cards, also
bearing the clever program Of toasts,
were patterned after the high school
annual, which will soon be published
by the Juniors. Miss May Grant ex-
celled in her part as toastmistress,
and the following responded: George

original and abounded in wit, causing
outbursts Of merriment again and

duet a success in every way, and the
event will not soon be forgotten by
their guests.
