Great Walkers.

Charles Dickens was a great walk
er. ''Twelve. fifteen and even twenty
miles a day We're none too much for
Dickens" Sir Walter Scott, too. walked
100 or so miles without fatigue, not
withstan1ing his limp Browning,
when past seventy. could take long
walks. and Wordsworth could walk
20 miles a day after he had passed
sixty years of age.
De Quincy considered II miles a
day necessary for his health, and
Lamb, notwithstanding his "almost
fmmaterial legs" could walk we'll.
Beethoven always took his daily walks
of five or more miles in all manner of
weathers, while Turner travelled 20
miles day, sketching as he walked.
Herbert Spencer. ut thirteen, in a
fit of inconsistencies. walked 4S miles
one day and IL the next; and it is
claimed that Tolstoi. mt tifty-tve,
walked $50 miles in three days.

Fishing by Telephone.

A strange way of discovering the
whereabouts of fish is practiced in
some parts or Norway. and the method
was discovered by Il clever Norwegian.
A microphOne. which is an instrument
that will transmit the slightest sound,
Is lowered into the water from a fish
ing boat and a wire from the micro
phone is attached to telephone fixed
in the boat. The operator takes the
receiver of the telephone and places
It to his ear, ready to signal to the
fishermen when he hears the least
sound beneath the waters, and the
fishing boat is then Immediately
steercd in the direction whence the
sounds come. The result is-a splen-
did haul.
As,cod, herring. and mackerel swim
in enormous shoals. their passage
through the water causes a rushing
sound which is clearly heard by the
fishermen. who Immediately steer in
the required direction and let down
their nets.

The Memory.

The memory is a very useful thing
when it works right. but it often
seems to be out of repair. Frequent
ly it works like carpet sweeper,
picking up things no one has any
mortal use for and passing over 9TH
ers of great value. The memory can
be trained and trained memory is
more valuable than a trained nurse or
a trained seal. A New Jersey man
several years ago declared that he had
Il perfect memory and every ono be-
lfcved him till a clever person asked
him to sing all the words of columbia
the Gem of the Ocean," 4 faulty
memory is very much like a nose
bleed. 1t can be cured for the while
by putting brown paper under the lin
or tying a string tightly about the
finger.

Any Argument With Barber Who
Was Shaving Him.

Seating himself in the end chair the
fat plumber said to the barber:
'"That's some car standing out In

With surreptitiois wink Mt the
waiting customers the barber replied
nonchalantly:

GLOW much is it worth?"
"Only about $4,000"
The plumber softly whistled.
II have been wanting to see you for
some time." the barber remarked.
"What for?"
"About some repairs"
"What repairs?"
GLOW much would it cost me to fix

over thcre?"
"About $40"
81 can get new fixture for less than
that"
"Is that so? Well let me see just
what you want DONE"
This brought laugh from the other
BARRIERS and waiting patrons.
"Gosh! First he says $40 and then
he wants to know what is to be done -
the head barber CALCULATED.
Just as the fat plumber was leaving
the chair prosperous looking man
came to the front of the shop, got into
the big touring car, and drove rapidly
away.
"Ha, ha," the head barber laughed,
81 fooled you about that automobile,
didn't I?'
II should say not"
'Thcn why didn't you hand me an
arglment?"
II knew you were joshing me all the
time" the plumber replied, "but any
time am lying flat on my back and a
man is standing over me with a razor
in his hand. he Gun say anything he
likes and get away with it. am strong

whv patriarchs Lived Lonoer.

The real reason why the patriarchs
lived longer than we do now was be-
cause in those days the fount of hui
manity was fresher, says writer.
While immunity to certain diseases
has been handed down to us by our
parents. we have also received the
weakened vitality which was theirs as
a result of their fight against disease.
Sooner or later the race will become
immune to tuberculosis. but with that
immunity will come the diminished
power as n result of mankind's long
fight against the white plague.

A Famous Hymn.

Mrs. Sarah Flower Adams wrote the
famous hymn. "Nearer, My God, to
Thee" Mrs. Adams was an Englislwonl-
an, born in 1905. She was writer of
note in the periodicals of the time, and
she also composed catechism for
children which was published in 1915.
Just ut what time and under what
circumstances the hymn was written
is not known. 1t was first published
in 1871. but the author did not live to
know the fame the authorship brought
her. She died at forty-four, and since
that time the lines she penned have
sung themselves into the hearts Of un-
told millions the world over.

A PATRIOTIC MEETING

The meeting convenes; the chairman delivers his
keynote address: speaker follows speaker. Sentiments
like these give tone to the proceedings:
I'VE have no business to be in the war.
'Thts is a war to make the rotten rich more rotter
and more rich
The blood of our young men is to be coined into
dollars for the benefit of milionaires.'
1.-THE food administrator is a Crook
THE government has sold itself to the plutocrats.'
THE sinking Of the Lusitania was no crime"
ITO hell with the government
If Americans had stayed at home when they were
told they would not have been hurt"
Americans are being sent across the seas to fight
Epgland's battles for her"
The sale of bonds is a device to take money out OF
the poor mans pocket and put it in the rich mans"
THE draft is unconstitutional and an outrage
I'VE demand that the government declare why il
has plunged us into war"
And SO on.
Then the committee on resolutions reports the. reso-
lutions which have been handed to. 1t:
Resolved that we approve Of the war, but"
Resolved that we will stand by the government
If" 44%EEaW NJ
Resolved that German autocracy mustbe crushed
nevertheless-'
Resolved that we approve Of the course of our
government with the following exceptions-"
The resolutions are adopted amid cheers.
And they call it a patriotic meeting.

MORE RAILROAD MEN SPEAK

At the first meeting at which they had opportunity
to! express themselves the trainmen Of the Grand Forks
brotherhood have spoken In no uncertain manner on the
infamy of sedition and the dishonor which has come to
the state through the presence in high positions of men
who in this hour of national strain give aid and comfort
acting as a drag on the forces which are marshaling
in defense of our nation and its principles.
The trainmen definitely approved the action Of the
Minot u. G. 7. council and of the engineers at an earlier
meeting in which the resignation OF Senator Gronna was
demanded and the governor of the state was urged tc
put himself in line with the patriotic sentiment of his
state.
In this action the organizations participating have
done honor to themselves and their associates, and have
done something to remove from the state the stain which
has been placed upon it by men who have been entrust-
ed with the protection of its interests and the guardian
ship of its honor
1t Is deplorable that it should become necessary fol
citizens thus to strive to protect themselves from the re-
suits of the misdeeds of their officials. But it is crafty
ing to know that when the need arose there were men
who were ready to meet it.
