There were really truly only two
fish, but the slanting sides of the bowl
were like magic and most any way
you looked at the bowl-except
to be FIVE or seven and sometimes as
many as nine fish playing around in
| that one small bowl. Donald never
did quite understand it, but he loved to
sit and watch the Ash all the same.
Then Jack came to visit.
Jack wasn't any relation to Donald;
he was the nephew Of the lady who
lived across the hall and he came to
spend a week because his mother was
sick in bed. Jack was older than
Donald by two or three years and was
always planning something to do.

After a great deal Of effort and many

where it usually stayed and the two
boys sat on the ledge. Jack dropped
his fishing line into the bowl and the
boys waited for something to happen
For a minute Donald held his breath

IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO BEGIN

~ AE have all heard that it's
never too late to mend
neither is it ever too late to
y" begin. Many successes have
been made late in life. Here are a
few famous people who found that it
was never too late to begin:
Cato did not learn Greek until he
was eighty years old: nor did Plutarch
begin the study until he was nearly
Of that age.
Theophrastus began his greatest
work at ninety. and Colbert. the
famous French statesman. returned
at the age OF sixty to the study of law.
Sir Henry Spelman did not begin
studying sciences until he was fifty
years Of age. and yet he accomplished
much before he died. In France a
certain Marquis de Saint Aulaire did
not discover that he was a poet until
he had passed his seventeen year.
Socrates learned 20 play on musical
instruments in his old age and an
Italian writer. Ludovico Monaldeseo
by name, wrote the memoirs OF his
lime when ne had attained the ex-
traordinary age Of one hundred and
fifteen years.

A Banking Wonder.
Fargo. N. D.. Forum


Barney school district had money in
the Bank Of North Dakota which it
was unable to draw out. Being short
of funds to pay school teachers and
meet operating expenses, the school
board borrowed several hundred dol
lars from F. A. Bagg, a well to do
farmer residing near Mooreton, Mr..
Bagg giving a draft for the amount.
And what did the school board do but
send the draft to the Bank of North
Dakota for deposit!
At the same time checks were issued
against the deposit to pay the sala-
ries due to the teachers. The checks
came back the other day accompanied
by the usual payment refused" slip,
with some 81 protest fees to be paid
on each.
Next time Barney school district
borrows it will have to ask for 81
more, so as to be able to pay the pro-
test fee. Meantime the district in
paying Mr. Bagg more than double
the interest on the loan that they are
receiving on the same money deposited
beyond their reach in the Bank Of
North Dakota. Hankinson, N. D. News.

plants the men are paid wage of
forty-seven cents the day; Irvine fac
tory thirty-seven and six-tenths cents,
and other departments 1868 cents.
Total wages paid prisoners during the

In addition to those wages the state
also has a pension system through
which means the families of the pri-
soners are given financial aid while
the bread winner is serving time.
These pensions run from S. to $50 the
month per family. The total amount
of pensions paid these needy families
during November, last, was $1,194.50.
Prisoners usually are placed at work
for which they are best fitted and are
changed about more or less as they
develop in efficiency or as other ocas-

remain at the same work throughout
their servitude. In some instances, it
