Heroines of History
HOW JANE AUSTEN BECAME \
GREAT NOVELIST.

In the ma gnlncant cathedral in the
city Of Winchester, England, are
buried many distinguished persons.
Here lie some Of the early Saxon
kings, and there is a possibility that
the great King Alfred was buried
there.
Among the famous personages
buried here is St. Swithin. whose
name has come down to US and is
recalled every July. Izaak Walton
of fishing fame is one Of the repre-
sentatives Of literature whose tombs
are in this glorious old cathedral
But perhaps no tomb attracts
more attention than one that is
marked by a plain slab of marble.
on it is a simple name, Jane Aus
ten" that CT a simple woman. who
wrote OF simple things, but with
such a masterful hand and in such
an engaging way that she became
one Of the most illUstriOus women
Of English literature.
OF Jane Austen, Sir Waiter Scott
said: That young lady has a talent
for describing the inducements Of
feeling and characters OF ordinary
life which 10 me is the most Won
derful ever met with. The big
bow-wow strain I can do myself
like any row going, but the eX-
quisite touch which renders ordi-
nary commonplace things and char
acters interesting from the truth Of
the description and the sentiment.

Jane Austen. the author Of Per
suasion," Pride and Prejudice"
Sense and Sensibi,ity." and other
novels was born in 1875. near Lon
don. Her father was a clergyman Of
the church Of England. stationed IN
the small town OF Steventon.
Jane was brought up and lived In
the narrow circle OF this small place,
m the most monotonOUs and strict
est fashion.
But she managed by her magma
ton and her gift OF writing 20 find
80 much interest in the lie around
her that she made her life in this
quiet country town one Of absorb
ing interest. Perhaps you VII. have
some idea OF those who were her
neiEhbors when I say that they
were not even interested in the
American Revolution or moved by
the horrors Of the French Rev0iu-
ton. Both OF these uDheavals took
place during Jane Austeu's life.
But she wrote OF no world events.
She wrote OF the do.ngs Of the town.
Il was not considered good form for
young women 10 have much learn
ing at this time. and it was thought
forward OF them 70 write. Il was
not done" But the spark OF genius
burned too brightly in Jane Austen's
mind 10 have il extinguished by the
damper Of criticism OF the village
folk
Instead. she wrote OF them. With
her sweet stories she wove from the
threads OF life around her one Of
the finest word fabrics OF English
literature.
And this she did while life went
on serenely about her. She was not

CLAIM NUEsSLE WINS

. Fargo, N. D., Nov. 11.-Indepen-
dent forces this afternoon claimed
that w. L. Nuessle had defeated
Seth Richardson for the position on
the North Dakota Supreme bench.
This claim is based on returns from
all but one county Of the state, the
scattered precincts being expected
to offset each other in the final
tabulation.
Nonpartisan league headquarters
claim the election of Richardson
and with possibility that Burr
will defeat Birdzell. This claim
was based on expected large plura-
lities from precincts from the west
ern part of the state.
Determination of majorities and the
question Of the exact makeup Of the
North Dakota supreme court seemed
to be the only question remaining of
the North Dakota election today.
While 200 precincts remained un-
cccounted for in the race for the
United States senatorship, these were
expected to increase the majority of
Lynn J. Frazier, wlo first reached
the lead with a majority of three
votes and from that on continued,
with only slight interruption, to
make the gains predicted for him in
the precincts from the western part
of the state.
The supreme court race, which had
appeared settled earlier in the week
developed uncertainty as the outly-
ing precincts continued to develop
majorities for Seth Richardson of
Fargo until he had climbed up with
in threatening distance Of the lead
ers. The precincts unreported in the
supreme court race are expected to
be at elast favorable to his candi-
dacy.
Sveinbjorn Johnson, present attor-
rey general continued to maintain
the leadership he assumed at the
start of the race and Chief Justice
Birdzell continued to be second in
the race.
With some scattered precincts
missing from nineteen counties and
with the total vote missing from
Dickey Grant, Mercer. Oliver, Rem
Vile, Rollette and Stark counties the
three Independent Voters Associa-
tion candidates for the supreme
iudgeship were maintaining a lead
but by decreased majority.
The counties having their vote
completed are: Barnes, Benson, Bot
tineau, Cass, Divide, Emmons, Fos-
ter, Grand Forks, Hettinger, LaMoure,
Mcintosh. Morton, Nelson, Pembina,
Pierce, Ramsey, Ransom, Richland,

War left the United States be-
yond any question the greatest and
by ) far the richest of all world
powers:
The role of banker to the nations
has passed from the London money
center to that o: New York. The
late belligerents all are deeply in
debt to America and while repay
ment in some ceases undoubtly will
be long deferred, the fact that these
obligations exist gives to this coun-
try an authority such as she never
before possessed.
It is the fashion in Europe to say
that the United States alone profit
ed by the conflict.
It is true that she fought unset
fishly and for high ideals. In doing
so, undoubtedly she profited NOR
ally. In other respects she lost, as
every belligerent lost. She lost IN
men, Financ ally, by just what she
spent, she is poorer. Taxes are
higher. Prosperity is returning but
deep depression came first. The war
left scars. ..".
Politically, as in every country
which had part in the strife, peace
brought change in the United
States. The Wilson leadership
passed. Democrats might have gone
out and Republicans have come in,
in any case. but the enormous
majority by virtue of which Presi-
dent Harding was sent to the White
House unquestionably was due to
causes growing out Of the war.

CAMP PAIGN FOR
RED CROSS Is
.STARTEDT0DAY'|l' I
y ar E8
Will Begin a Few Days Later
In Bismarck But Begins
General Today
WINS WIDE SUPPORT

Armistice day, Nov. II, ushers in
the annual roll call Of the American
Red Cross generally, although the
campaign begins here next week.
"Do you want fgures?" said lie
Matin" of Paris, in recent editorial.
"Red Cross workers came to the aid
of 100000 Of our refugees. In hos
ritals and dispensories 205,000 Of our
children were received; $3.50 French
cmilies were aided"
The first duty Of every chapter Of
the American Red Cross is to the
disabled ex-service men and women,
but where no other local agency ex-
Fists to meet the case, chapters en-
gage in a broader program includ-
ing public health nursing and service
for civilian families. f
"The Red Cross was present every
where from the ports Of entry to the
| fighting lines, and it is assisted in
! alleviating the suffering of the
wounded, in aiding the recuperation
of the sick and encouraging the fight
ing men, and left an impression upon
the soldiers at the front that they
never forget" said General Pershing.
1--WE have nothing but words OF
praise for this organization"
"The Red Gross is the first line OF
defense for humanity. It is intel;
ligent; it is economical; it's power
for peace. It promotes the cause
of civilization. Every man who
loves his fellowman will support it,"
is the view of Calvin Coolidge, vice
president of the United States.
That the ex-service men think OF
the American Red Cross as an all,
helpful mother and the Veterans Bu-
reau sees in that mother an always
cooperating friend, whether it be a
matter of calling the Bureaus atten-
ton to an unawarded claim or an
i'll man needing disqualification, IS
the opinion of the director OF the
Veterans Bureau.
The American Legion through its
recent commander, Hanaford Mac
Nider, says: "No one realizes bet
ter than the American Legion the
splendid work which the, American
Red Cross has done for the disabled
veterans of the Worl War. Their
officials have been particularly help
sul to our National Rehabilitation
Committee. Their generous contrlbu-
tions to its support have allowed us
to carry on through our liaison rep
resentatives at the different district
Offices of the Veterans Bureau work
which has been on incalculablc gocd
to the disabled mans cause
"Thc Red Cros; is typical OF what
is best in our national life," says
Samuel Gompers, of the American
Federation of Labor, "and am con-
fdent that the forthcoming annual
Roll Call will meet with generous
and adequate response"
