Remarkable Old Beliefs.

Since the age of legend, thunder
and lightning making has always been
made the final proof of the supernat
ural. Thor and his huge hammer
which accounted for the thunder to
the old Norsemen, and Jove or Jupiter
who hurled his lightning and thun-
der in anger and thus explained this
natural phenomenon to the old Greeks
and Romans, are only two of the
hundreds of instances in ancient be
lief
In later times the brand of magi-
clan and evil-doer was put upon many
alchemists with rumors that splitting
tongues Of fire and crashes Of thunder
were seen and heard in their labora-
tories.

Appropriate, What?

The Church at Work, published by
the National Council Of the Episcopal
church, tells of q resourceful native or
ganist who was called upon suddenly
to furnish the music for q mission
wedding ceremony at HankoW, China
The bridegroom had recently become
a Christian. Following the custom,
he sent q beautiful sedan chair and
brass band to escort the bride to his
home, where the ceremony was to be
performed. Something delayed the
bride, and the impatient young man
hurried down to the mission house,
where it was decided to have the
wedding on the spot. A meeting was
in progress in the church, so it was
impossible to have the brass band
play. Whereupon one Elsie Ii was
communicated to play the wedding
march. There was no sheet music on
hand, and Elsie was not equal to the
task Of playing Mendelssohn from
memory. She was strong, however,
on one good old march tune, and ac-
cor1ingly the wedding party were dunn
founded and amused q few minutes
later when the bride and bridegroom
marched blithely forward to the altar
to the tune Of "OnWard Christial
Soldiers, Marching as to War"

months-old triplets Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Lars Herigstad of Mohall, are spend
ing the week in Minot, and are to be
seen on the second floor Of the main
exposition building in the section oc-
>cupied by the Woman's and Art clubs.
They occupy pretty baby carriage,
built especially large and at that the
husky youngsters fill it.
Their mother is with them and
Miss Lullas Dougherty of Mohall
came along to render assistance. The
babes are beautiful little children and
the three of them do not give the
mother as much concern as one babe
occasionally does in some families.
Of course, they prove very inter-
esting to their mother at times, but
she cares for them remarkably well.
They are strong, healthy children and
give promise to growing to maturity.
So far as is known, they are the
only triplets in North Dakota. M. o.
Hall, of Mohall, who raised fund
among Mohall business men to bring
this wonderful exhibit to Minot,
states there were once triplets at
Valley City and Williston, but he has
been informed that they have died.
The Mohall triplets are II months old
today.
Mr.. Hall arranged to have the pic
lures Of the triplets taken and they
are being sold to many who want the
pictures as souvenirs.

The father of the triplets is Lars

husband didn't come along.
"Well, Lars is very small man

MAY BELLE ADAMS0N, HEALTH
NURSE, DIED IN MINNEAPOLIS

Miss May Belle Adamson, who was
public health nurse for Ward county
for the Ward County Red Cross from
Oct. l, 1921, until June Is of this
year, passed away at the U. S. Hos,
pital in Minneapolis Friday morning,
where she had been receiving treat
ment since she was compelled to re-
| sign her Ward county position on ac-
count of i'll health. An operation was
performed in hopes of saving her life
| The remains were shipped to the
old home, Geneva, Ill.,, where the fun
era was held from the Catholic
church, interment being made in that
city.
! Miss Reishus received letter from
Miss Adamson short time before her
death stating that she was to submit
to an operation Friday.
Miss Adamson contracted severe
cold in making drive from Ryder tt.
Minot last fall which aggravated an
ailment which she had contracted
while serving as a nurse overseas
during the war. She never fully re-
covered, altho she was the very pic
ture of health.
Miss Adamson was 32 years of age.
She graduated from the Mercer hos
| plLdl DIS nurse ten years ago ana IL
1914 went with the DR.. John W. Muir
ply unit overseas for service with the
British forces. When America en-
tered the war, she transferred her
service to the United States. She re-
turned to America and headed rs aa-
ditional nurses for overseas duty max
ing a remarkably good record. She
came to Minot from Chicago, having
completed a public health course. ine
Detroit.
Miss Adamson was a member of
the American Legion, the Veterans of
Foreign Wars and the Business and
Professional Women's Club Of Minot.
| Miss Adamson is survived by her
mother, two brothers and one sister
She was regarded as an exception
ally capable nurse and did very affect

county. Supt. Waller and others
speak in the very highest terms of
her capability. She was woman Of

LOring, Friend of Roosevelt, Auditor
ium, Monday, Sept. 18th

The Auditorium Entertainment
Season opens next Monday night
with the presentation by the City
Schools of Harold A. Loring in most
unique and highly entertaining lee
ture-recital explaining the meaning
and development Of Indian life and
Indian music.
/ Theodore Roosevelt said of Harold
A. Loring who gives the lecture-re-
cital, "Mr. Loring knows as much
about Indian tribes and their music as
does any other man in the United
States"
| And it was President Roosevelt who
in 1904 commissioned Mr.. Loring to
visit the various Indian tribes in Am
erica and record their music and their
legends for the United States Gov
! eminent. In accomplishing this work
he spent twelve years learning their
languages and getting close to the
Indian heart.
! For the recital-lecture, the stage is
set with a real Indian tepee, and Mr.
Loring's Indian companion, dressed ia
a magnificent Indian costume gives
assistance both in the program and
in developing the appropriate atmos-
phere.
Mr.. Loring is rare combination,
gifted as speaker of real ability, and
noted as musician of no small fame.
AS an organist and pianist he has con-
certified thruout America for a num-
Der of years, and it is also significant
that he has conducted the Victor Her
bert Symphony Orchestra in New
York.
The usual display advertising for
this lecture-recital has unfortunately
been delayed, and there is, it is feared
a little likelihood of our people con-
sidering this to be rather usual en-
tertainment, as Judged by the adver-
Using. But the School Auditorium
Committee feel free to state their
confidence that this lecture-recitai will
prove to be one of the highly effective
entertainments of the season. The
fact that Mr.. Loring's form contract
provides for the payment Of four hun,
dred dollars for each lecture-recital
should be something of an index Of
his standing in his field.
The program is replete with inter-
and his life, as well as about Indian
and his life, as well as about Indian
music. 1t includes interpretations Of
the genuine Medicine Lodge Cere-
mony, The Spirit or Ghost Dance, the
Ceremonial of the Mad Dog Society,
and many songs like the Indian Lll-
labye (Cante masica ce. Sioux the
, Cheyenne Wolf Song (Shung mani
tou) the Navajo Rain Song (Magazhu
olowon) and numerous others.
