It was the day the Seventy-flrst

the South and France, says a New
York news letter. Suddenly a young
woman who was standing on the curb
darted past the policeman on guard
just to the left Of her, threw her arms
around the neck Of bronzed platoon
leader, implanted kiss upon his
cheek, and handed him small pack.
age which he put in his pocket. Re.
turning to her place on the curb, she
said to the policeman:

The officer grinned. "Well, MISS" he
said. "the truth is can't see very well

IS REAL AMERICAN WONDER
Newly Examined Glacier In IN Unsx.
plored Region May Be Biggest
In the Rockies.

We had reached point of vantage
whence we could overlook the whole
of the UNEMPLOYED region OF the
Rockies from Laurier Pass on the
south to the Lizard region on the
north. No great secret could be con-
cealed from us.
What did we see?
A glance showed US that there was
no heaven-kissing peak taller than
Mount Robson" writes Paul L. Ha.
worth in Scribner's Magazine.
But there were several magnificent
mountains higher than any along the
Finlay. Much the finest Of all these
lay far to the northeastward. 1t was
a vast affair with three great sum-
mits, two of them peaks, the third and
tallest an immense square block.
This mountain was big enough to
have aroused our enthusiasm, and vet
we gave comparatively scant heed to
1t.
Far down the south slope Of 1t, fill
ing great valley miles and miles
wide, there flowed n perfectly i'm
mense, glistening glacier.
"That is what makes the Quadacha
white" Joe conceded.
There could he no doubt about 1t.
For long time I had realized that 1t
would require good-sized rock mill
to grind up enough silt to color such
a big stream Us the Quadacha, but
where was q mill big enough for the
job?
We were at least forty miles from
1t, for we were not fully twenty miles
west Of the works, and from the forks.
to the glacier must he ut least twenty
more. We were eight as one must
travel in that region. Yet there that
great white mass doomed up far and
away the most notable phenomenon In
that whole magnificent panorama. It
Is the biggest thing in the whole Fin
lay country. I venture to predict that
when the glacier has been more closely
examined it will be found to be one of
the biggest, If not the very biggest,
In the whole Rocky Mountain system.

Sea.Lion Performers.

Any boy who has gone to a circus
knows what remarkable "stunts" sea.
lions can perform-human beings can't
do some Of them. There is, of course,
the trick of balancing big ball on
their shouts and tossing it from one to
another in that way. The seu-liOn or.
chestra is not particularly musical, but
the animals can create an awful din
by means Of horns, drums and bells
The more, clever Of them can walk up
q ladder and down, with baton on
their snout; while others roll over or
dive when there is tank. Each train.
er tries new tricks with his lions, max
ing sure ut first that he can do all the
most common ones.

National Red Cross Notes.

Khaki hankerchiefs are needed
in Christmas packets sent to sold
iers. In the packets already mail
ed by Red Cross workers through
out the division for the use of sold
iers in France there were surpris-
ingly few such handkerchiefs in
cluded. The director of the pack
ct bureau for the division urges
workers to include these articles
in packets for the soldiers in Am
erican environments.
A Minneapolis woman, 81 years
old celebrated her birthday yester-
day by mailing a Christmas pack
ct to soldier in France. writing
in her own trembling hand mes
sage of good cheer to go with the
gift and expressing the wish that
the recipient would come glorious
ly through the great struggle. My
prayers will be with you wherever
you go, she said.
More socks for soldiers are need
ed urgently both at the front and
in American camps and canton
ments, declares Mrs. Cora S. Frid-
ley, director of the Women's de-
partment for the Northern Divi
sion of the Red Cross.
Many wokers throughout the
division, declared Mrs. Fridley.
have been so busy preparing Chris
tmas packages for the soldiers that
they have not been knitting the
usual number of socks. Socks and
sweaters are two of the most nee
essary things the Red Cross has
been supplying our soldiers. The
demand for them is continuous and
highly important. There should be
no let-up in this part of the work
by women of the Red Cross,
Quality, not quantity. must be
the motto of all women working
for the Red Cross in the manufac-
ture of clothing and surgical dres-
sings for use abroad. was the an
nouncement of Mrs. Cora S. Frid-
ley, director of womcn's depar!
ment for the Northern Division
of the Red Cross.
Particularly. says Mrs. Fridlcy,
must all articles required in surgi-
cal work be made very accurately
and ready for use. Time wasted in
searching for properly rolled
bandage may result in the loss of {;
life. Garments made, both for oul
soldiers in France and for the
French and Belgian refugees, must
be made of the stoutest available
material to withstand the wear and
tear of army life and the still grea
ter privations endured by the re
refugees.

November 18th, 1911, was Il
banner day for Richland County.
On that day the farmers of the
County took a definite step to-
wards more and better stock. The
meeting was entirely representa-
tive of the County. and not a loca!
meeting. There were men here
from Hankinson. Lidgerwood, Ty-
Ter. Paramount, Colfax. Wydmere.
Pennington. Mooreton, Dwight and
Wahpeton. They were entirely in
earnest as you can see by their days
work. They organized, adopted
their constitution and bylaw elect
cd directors. officers and are ready
for business. Their first business
meeting will consist i'm holding a
pure bred stock sale sometime dur
ing the winter.
The requirements for admission
are not at all prohibitive. One re-
gistered animal (hol'se. COW, hog or
Sheep is required. The member.
ship fee is two dollars per year.
The farmers present agreed that
the above requirements were light
enough so that almost any farmer
interested in pure bred stock may
become a member. In order to be-
come members it is necessary:
LIST. To produce certificate of
registration Of pure bred animal

End. To sign the constitution.
3rd. To pay the membership

ton to every farmer. Its charter

fore the winter is over we must
have membership of $50. With a
body of $50 men. working together
for more and better stock, we will
have little trouble in putting Rich
land county on the Stock Map of
the country.
So that all may know the exact
purposes of the Richland County
Registered Stock Breeders Asso-
/ citation, the following cutting from
the constitution is added to this
articles:
LIST. To promote every legiti-
mate interest of the live stock breed
ers in the County and to maintain

In the grounds Of an old French
chateau, just one year later, I again
met the youngest of these bridegrooms
and his little bride, Odette.
It was a wonder day-Maytime over
head, amid delicate green tracery, the
birds were caroling. Wild anemones
and celandine were peering up inquisi,
lively from the long grass and the
trailing briar violet clustered lovingly
in the tree trunks shade.
It was the bridegroom that noticed
first. He was wearing magnificent
uniform, with la Horse" inscribed I'M
glinting letters on his sleeve. But oc-

"Odette, Odette, where are your he
called, cropping his way along.
There was a thrill Of laughter and
Odette came running through the trees.
She guided him to rustic bench and
they sat down. It was then saw that
he was blind.
"You are young and beautiful, Odette
and tied for life to q useless man
like me! Have you no regrets? If you
had only known this accident would

"Ah, mon brave" came the voice of
Odette, with deep note Of feeling in

So the telegram was sent.
From the quiet English village,
where the quiet English courtship had

said bravely.
The chaplain performed the simple
ceremony in the side ward where the
dying man lay.
"For richer or for poorer, for better
or for worse" So the bonds were tied.
He fell asleep contentedly. holding
her hand, and at dawn he died.
On bleak and windy day they
buried him In the little English Gene

"Who are these which are arrayed In

read the chaplain. "These are they

The last sad rites were performed
and the soil Of France covered ell that

FULTON WILLING TAKE LIN ALL
 COMERS

NEW YORK, April 20. If Fred Fulton becomes the worlds heavy weight champion he's going to be A heavyweight champion for the benefit of the fighting public. Stated in the words of his manager, Frank E. Force. Fulton intends to fight once every three months if he comes into pos. session of the Jess Willard title.
 Jess Willard and a great many other champions are dead wrong, the way I look at it," said Force. They sit around and wait for somebody to get good enough to fight. Lots of times there's husky youngster clam drawing card if the bout was arranged. Instead they wait around until he gets so good that they are taking big chances in going into ring with him.
 You can believe me when I say that just as fast as these hard young stcrs begin showing signs of class Fulton is going after them, and he's going to lay them away while the lay. ing is good It's mighty easy to get beat by stronger youngster with lots of speed, pep and endurance.
 Why, Willard made the greatest mistake of his life when he didn't take on Fulton year ago. He could have beaten Fred then, the chances are. Now when he gets ready to meet this big fellow he is going to have whale of fight on his hands, with the chances mighty strong he will be beaten. Willard's policy has been to 1 sit around. get fat and wait for some one to get good enough to beat him And believe me. Fulton has grown that good"
 There's more than idle speculation in what Force said. In case one of these tough youngsters should come along and get going good he might be ready for a real claim to a bout for the championship in a short time. If the champion can point back to a knockout when the youth was a com CT he can postpone the meeting with that youngster almost indefinitely.
 Fulton, so far. has lived up to what Force says. He has met all the tough youngsters and knocked them off. He
