Homo Conversation.

Children hunger perpetually for new
Ideas. They will learn with pleasure
from the lips Of parents what they
deem drudgery to study in books; and
even If they have the misfortune to
be deprived Of many educational adj
vantages they will grow up intelligent
II they enjoy in childhood the priv
ilege Of listening daily to the CONVEX
satlon Of intelligent people. We some
times see parents who are the life Of
every company that they enter, dull,
silent and uninterestlng at home among
their children. IF they have not mem
tai activity and mental stores sufli-
Client for both, let them first use what
they have for their own households.
A silent house Is dull place for
young people, place from which they
will escape II they can. How much
useful information, on the other hand,
is often given In pleasant family con-
versatlOn, and what unconscious, but
excellent mental training In lively 30
cial argument; cultivate to the utmost
all the grnces Of home conversation.

ASSIST is REMARKABLE CITY
Shows How Influence Of One Man
With an Idea Can Persist Through
the Centuries.

A remarkable city is Assist, show
Ing how the influence Of a man with
an idea can persist down the changing
centuries. 1t is seven hundred years
and more since st. Francis lived and
died here, and yet today Assist is lit
tie besides the city Of st. Francis. His
name lends 1t whatever fame and Inn
portance 1t may have, and something
Of his kindly spirit seems to hang
about 1t still.
Assist is bare little Italian hill
town, built Of dull stone, with narrow,
winding rocky streets, looking out over
one Of the falrest prospects in all
Italy. Here st. Francis was born of
rich parents, here he led an idle,
spendthrift youth, and here he was
suddenly seized with the idea of uni
versal brotherhood and the necessity
for poverty. Here he founded the
Franciscan order, praying that Its dis
tinctive sign might be "never to pos
sess anything under the sun and to
have no means Of living save by beg
glng."
He carried out his rule in strictest
practice, living In hut of reeds built
where now stands the church Of St.
Mary of the Angels. He felt great
love for all things created, so that he
hailed the sun as his brother and
preached to the fishes. All Of these In
cidents in his career and many 9TH
ers are set forth in noble frescoes by
Giott0 In the Franciscan church at
Assist.
In Assist, too, is the tomb of St.
Francis, in little chapel OF the Fran
clscan monastery. The tomb Is sur
rounded by beautiful marbles and rich
work in beaten bronze. The world
has loved st. Francis, but apparent
ly 1t has never understood him. Elise
1t would not in all reverence have
surrounded his vault with the rich
luxury Of beauty against which his
whole life and all his teachings were
but one great protest.

When he had concluded, Ella looked
up at him, with smlle-a frank,

speech.

do deeds for your lady love which the
modern man could not even dream Of

The girl, at first, widened her pretty
brown eyes as If shocked Mt his I'M
couth speech, but she met frank, hon.
est, exacting eyes that nothing could
conceal except darkness itself. She
colored, and, with a confused "Ah-he-
en-" turned her face.
The big, handsome fellow continued
his look Of singing scrutiny. They
were sitting out on the broad veranda.
The morning sunlight trickled through
the web Of morning glory vines In
front, and melted among the short,
yellow curls that rioted over the young
mans head. A sweet, soft wind came
down through the hallway, driving a
rose leaf that struck the check Of the
young girl and fell down on her plump
hand-a tribute of the flowers to an
object prettier than themselves.
Silence continued for about a min
ute, when the young man continued in
firm tones, note Of pathos running
through them:
Somehow or other, when / hearn
you was goin' off, I felt like you'd
never come back to me no more-not
as little Eller. The material mater of

Volcanoes Hottest on Surface.


Notwithstanding what schoolbooks
have said, 1t now appears that vol
cano is hottest on Its surface rather
than below 1t. This is the conclusion
drawn by scientist who has made OK.
tenslve investigations In craters In Ha.
wall and has obtained samples Of gases
and lava before they reached the air,
says Popular Mechanics Magazine.
Laboratory studies Of these samples
make 1t appear probable that much Of
the heat required to keep an open lava
basin In fluid condition is supplied by
the chemical action Of the gases. From
these Investigations the scientist con.
cludes that in times OF great activity
the temperature at the surface Of
volcano undoubtedly Is higher than
that below the surface.

STATE CAPITOL STREETCAR

Public Owned Enterprise Gets Another

Bismarck, N. D., April 1o.-The
Capital street railway, which lost sew
eral blocks of trackage on East Main
last fall, is to be still further abbrevi-
ated as a result OF a conference be-
tween the city commission and the
board Of control Assured that the
state can do nothing toward paving
on relaying the tracks, the city has
announced its determination Of having
the rails removed from Main street
entirely and from the two blocks Of
Fourth street, extending to Thayer.
which are included in paving district
No. /.
This will necessitate several
blocks walk for guests of two OF the
leading hotels, and three blocks
hike for passengers disembarking at
the Northern Pacific. 1t is probable
that the tracks will not be further
disturbed until the paving in district
No. 2 reaches Fourth street, when un-
less some agreement shall have been
arrived at, the tracks will be torn up
altogether, and the only state-owned
public utility In North Dakota-a dis
NAL failure as II has been operated
will pass into history.
