MINOR MUSINGS
BY Wilbur u. Sutton

80
A spoiled child naturally must
expect n rotten deal from the
world,
Because Nature is not an
alarmist, the same number of
children keep on being born each
year.
You may be able to drive your
employees, but your method won T
work when you try to drive a
balky automobile.
Marriage is always referred to
as a SOLDERING Influence, and any
married man will tell you il 5
no spree.
The brains Of n bonehcad are
never valuable enough to protect
that way.
There are men who are natur-
ally such spendthrifts that they
can't even keep counterfeit mon
cy.
Better be II dog without any
home than make it manger.
There is only one source Of
pleasure that never grows stale
and it is the help you give to
others.
If everybody who advises thrift
were to practice thrift, poverty
would be reduced to less than
one-half Of one per cent.
An automobile wreck is so com.
mon nowadays that it docsn'r
often get into print unless it also
wrecks a family.
When a great desire to reform
somebody or something comes
over you, go back Of the barn
and look yourself over carefully
When mans trying to deceive
himself, he always thinks it
necessary to make a lot of ex-
plantations to his friends.
A girls face may be her for
tune, and if it's painted it may
be her misfortune.
The men who are afraid of
their wives are found mostly in
the joke columns, but when you
find one that is, it's no joke to
him.
She is foolish who tries to
build a structure of happiness
upon "hard lot" of a man.
Then there is the kind of man
who would rather argue and lose
than not to argue at all.
Men are not really as immoral
as the souse reformers wish they
were.
War is a funny thing. We kill
our enemies so they can't fight
us again, and after we've won
we feed those of them that are
left so they can fight us again,
The well-springs Of real charity
never bubble from a subsoil of
fake piety.
We believe that all people were
put on earth for some useful pur-
pose, but we also believe that no
body ever will find out what the
purpose of some of them is.
It's pretty difficult for a man
to take a large number of lodges
seriously and his home seriously
at the same time.
The father and mother of a
spoiled child generally act like
they are thankful that the child
has spared the rod from their
own shoulders.
Some men start a fight in a
pool room and others marry
"brainy" women.
"Mush" may do them for a
diet before marriage, but they'll
both want square meals after
ward.

daughter, Lueilla. 70 perfect herself in that
virtue, as his housekeeper and secretary.
She became resigned. His children, indeed,
were fond Of him, so we are informed. II
seems a little difficult to believe. His other
four cpcaned from him stealthly, by mar
riage and otherwise; but none escaped scot
free. Valeria, for instance. he compelled
10 wear sackcloth instead Of satin, fCura-
lively speaking, at her wedding. The poor
girl had got herself engaged 20 the wrong
man in the arst place, and her father stern
IL maintained that she ought 10 stick 20 her
mistake. The two boys we're naturally
marked for life by the habit Of easy
mendaeity. The third daughter. Flora, was
forced to a really hazardous deception to
save her fathers feelings; and being hyper
sensitive. from hrooding over this she be-
came a hysterie reiigieuse. Her life was
simply wasted.
The Canon's worst Characteristic was his
oratorieal manner Of speaking. II killed con-
versation deader than Pharaoh's cat Wher-
ever he went he produced an intellectual
vacuum. Ts did not speak to people; he ad-
dressed IN.

Her hooks have no profundity, no great

TIE oPTIMIsT. by z. " Deisheld. Macmillan
TIME delicate dissection Of humbug
sham, affeetation Of any kind is the
n specially Of Miss Delaheld. Some
thing Of the sly and sprightly malice Of
Jane Austen Is diseernible in her modest
manner Of stepping aside to let her victim
exhibit his own absurdity unhampered. No
vulgar winks or mods from her are needed
to stress the performance. God made the
creatures, she would say with Portia, there
fore let him pass for whatever he is-but
chiefly for the delectation Of the reader. Her
comedy resides in the complete seriousness
Of the characters she presents.
The latest addition TO her gallery OF por-
traits Of poseurs, lightly etched, not with
corrosive acid but with the diamond dry
mint Of wit. is a late Victorian churchman,
one Canon Morchard. The worthy Canon is
one OF those innumerable descendants OF
Dr. Pangoss and Alexander Pope who be-
licve that all is for the best in the best OF
all possible worlds and that whatever IS y
right; or, anyhow. that il will all come right
in the end If you hold the thought No one
would be more astonished than these pras-
matte platitudinarians to learn their own
philosophical parentage. Those hard words
are used deliberately. II doesn't matter
what they mean; they are TO be read impres-
sionstieally. They sound like Canon Nor
ehard. They probably even look like Kim
Canon Morehard perfectly eRemplihes the
sardonic axiom that a pessimist is some one
who has to live with an optimist He, Of
course, is the optimist. The saeeharine and
stufy heaven Of Canon Morehard's uneon-
seious imaginings would make even the
traditional alternative preferable. Let any
one dare TO tell him Of an unpleasant truth
and he remarks sorTowfully; "Is that quite
worthy Of you?"

AS a result, he moves and has his being in

To speak bluntly, he lives surrounded by

WHEN BOWBEIALS HAD
A MILLION Blu. OF GRAIN

Jack Donovan tells us that just
about Is years ago, the entire city
OF Bowbells was in the grain busi-
ness. Every merchant bought
grain, seven elevators bought grain,
track buyers were busy buying,
the bankers bought grain, and we
suppose even the lawyers and doc
tors took turn at it,. Besides the
seven elevators, there was solid
line of grain bins and sheds be-
tween the elevators for quarter
of mile down the railway track
and every availablS machine shed,
barn or other vacant building was
used for storing grain. It was es-
timated that when the grain trade
reached the peak there was close
to a million bushels or wheat stor
ed in Bowbells at one time. Bow
bells then had a magnificent terri
tory--there was no Powers Lake,
Lignite, Coteau, NSrthgate, Niobe,
Battleview or other stations now
located on the. lines that were then
unbuilt, and Mr.. Donovan says he
went out to collect from customers
as far as White Earth and Ray,
some farmers hauling grain to Bow
bells a distance of U5 miles. Those
were the days when carload of
machinery would no sooner hit
town than it was unloaded and
whisked away by the eager farm
ers, and often a couple of dozen
sets of harness would be sold right
off the car, without being unpacked
from the boxes.

h HEDSTRUP'S TRANS.
LATION PRINTED
DANISH VERSION OF THE PER-
SIAN POET HAS BEEN MADE
....... INTO A BOOK .@

About month ago, the Tribune
commented at some length on a
Danish translation Of the great
auatrains or s.Rubaiyat" by Omar
Khayyam. the translation having
been made by J. c.. Hedstrup,
farmer residing in the vicinity OF
Bowbells. This attracted the at
tention of Mr.. Hedstrup's friends
and acquaintances, with the result
that Nels Peterson decided to have
500 copies of the translation pub
lished.
Mr.. Peterson came to this deei-
sion for two reasons: First, be-
cause the translation throughout
was an excellent piece OF literary
work, and second, because Mr.. HE'D
strup, through repeated crop fall
ures, has been brought on the
rocks" and this appeared to be
a chance for him to earn some
money by his literary talents.
This booklet has just been is
sued from the Tribune office. 1t
is a handsome brochure OF twenty
pages with flexible, gray cover and
is designed to sell for 35 cents per
copy. Every Dane and Norwegian
who can read and appreciate the
beauties of poetry should have a
copy of this booklet. not only be-
cause it will be help to Mr.. He'd
strup, but because the booklet is a
literary treasure and reflects great
credit on the man who has added
this undeniably splendid version OF
Omar to Observation-Disclosures lit
erature.
A sample verse of Fitzgerald's
translation, with Hedstrup's Danish
version, may be of interest to those
OF our readers who can read both
languages:
I sometimes think. that never blows
so red
The Rose as where some buried
Caesar bled;
That every Hyacinin the garden
wears
Dropt in her Lap from some once
lovely head.
This verse in Danish is as fol-
lows:
Eli Rosen blomstrer, tror jeg tidt,
saa r0dt,
Som hvor der har en- Caesar faldt
of bl0dt,
Or hyer en- Hyazint,, som Haven
grocer
Err part af Zen, som for var her
paa Jord.
A small supply of these little
books will be kept in stock at the
Tribune Office. but most Of them
will be sent out to the Danish and
Norwegian brotherhoods: so il you
are interested and want one, be
sure to send your 35c. to the Trib-
une office and your order will be
filled at once. If you walt too
long, it may ge too late. This first
edition is not expected to last very
long.
