''They are. always called the ever

swampy land Which has very tall
grass. ff
Alr. and Mrs. Everglade Kite were
going to give banquet and had invit-
ed their relations to come on the fol-
lowing day and to bring their children.
1.-THE day arrived and Mr.. and Mrs,
hveFglade Kite were sitting on a shrub
chatting when the guests appeared.
" How do you do, my dearY Mrs.
Everglade Kite would say. And Mr..
Everglade Kite would flap a wing at
one of his friends and say: Glad to
see you, old chap. How are YOU? You
look WE'LL
"Mr. and Mrs. Everglade Kite were
the color of states, but they have dark
er colors on their wings and tails,
which are tipped with white.
Their bills were very thin and long
and at the end they were hooked. so
that they looked very different from
other birds. Their bills and claws were
black and their feet were of a beauti-
full orange color. Their eyes had red
rings around the pupils, which they
thought were very fine.
The children were all shades of
brown, tan, yellow and white.

shoemakers in the world

her cousin.
I'VE really think so, too said Mr..
Kite. OF course we fathers cannot
waste our time thinking about shoes,
but we must admit that we dress our
our feet in just the same way that you
do
For they are all very proud of their
orange feet.
Have you nice bush for your
nest? Mrs. Everglade Kite asked her
cousin.
1t is lovely said the cousin. And

How very, very nice said Mrs.

Brattleboro's war chest may have been
the target for few gentle thrusts from
envious communities, but certainly there
has been no criticism of it at home. 1t
Us doubtful whether this town ever ac
complished anything over which it had
cause for more satisfaction Even the

Last Thursday the boys basket ball

that evening. The game wa reported
to have been m of the fastest of the
season, the score being 26 to 81 in
favor of Minot.
Friday evening the boys and girls
played Towner in a double header in
that city. The boys were victorious
with a score of IL to SO but the girls
however, feeling sorry for 'Towner,
decided to let them win, with a result
ing score of IL to 1.
As last Friday was Washington's
birthday the schools were closed. On
Thursday afternoon a short program
was given and Mr.. Meyers honored the

After a very swift game the high

NEW HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING

A new high school building for Bot
tineau is among the possibilities OF
the near future. At the last meeting
of the board of education it was de-
cided to employ an architect to draw
plans for a building to take the place
of the one destroyed by fire last De-
cember, the cost of which was placed
at $4,000. The plan which the board
has had under consideration for some
time, to cooperate with the school OF
forestry thereby obviating the neces-
sity of erecting a building for some
time, was found to be impracticable,
hence the decision to erect a new edi-
flee. An architect has been employed
to draw the necessary plans and spec
ifcations, which, should the same meet
with the approval of the board, will
mean that work on the building will
be commenced without delay.

. BIT or FINANCIAL HISTORY.

The credit Of the United States was
so high and unquestionable that in
1900, two years after the Spanish
War, 2 per cent bonds were offered
at par and oyersubscribed. This lis
a financial performance no other ma
ton has ever equalled.
United States 4 per cent bonds il
1888 sold as high as 100 and in 1901
brought 139 7-8, on the stock market.
The United States has never de-
faulted on any 81 its bonds. Not one
of it's bondholders has ever lost a cent
of principal or interest except those
who voluntarily have taken losses by
selling their bonds in period Of
temporary price depression. One hum
dred cents on the dollar, principal and
interest, has the United States always
paid.

martin has been i'll for the past three
years with tuberculosis and during
the winter has been confined to her
bed most Of the time. She was re-
moved to her fathers home last week

sonally but her condition grew al
armingly worse and Mr.. Gagner, who
is pending the winter at Long Beach,
Cali, was wired to but owing to a
change of address was not located
until yesterday and it is doubtful if
he a be here in time for the fun
eral.
Diana Gagner was born at Tarsus
twenty eight years ago and has spent
all her life in Bottineau county. She
was united in marriage to VIM. Co
martin five years ago and besides the
young husband leaves a four-year-old
daughter to o her death. AT
the time we go to press funeral ar
rangements have not been anpounced.
Funeral services will likely be held
from the Tarsus Catholic church and
the remains laid to rest beside those
of her mother, who died a number OF
years ago She also leaves a father,
six brothers and q sister.
