"What is your motive behind any

THAT seemed pretty big problem.

Sometimes he does the most out

But the insurance man has all man

Now I had never thought of that.
Love is the topic OF the novels, the

ROMANS BELIEVED in OMEMs
All Kinds Of "siuns,~ Good and Bad,
Had Direct Influence on Their
Actions.

The ancient Romans were great be-
levers in signs and seldom cared to
undertake an enterprise without con-
sulting them. Some persons looked at
birds flying overhead. Others cut NJ
animals, to see what "signs" were in
side. Perhaps most interesting Of all
was the custom Of keeping certain
chickens and calling them sacred. II
some one wanted to know II a plan
would succeed, he tried TO feed the
chickens. If they ate heartily. 1t was
q good sign. If they refused to eat,
the plan was probably given up. When
q Roman died, food and drink were
placed beside his body In the tomb.
Animals were sacrificed, and milk or
wine was thrown on the ground. This
was repeated every year. If the rela-
tives forgot, the soul was supposed to
become evil and to bring bad luck.
Animals were sacrificed In honor Of
the gods, as well as for the spirits Of
men. Pigs, oxen and sheep were the
creatures most often killed. Flour
and salt were sprinkled over each anil
NAL, its head was covered with cloths,
and then the priest raised a large
knife or an ak for the death-dealing
blow. Prayers were said by those
looking on. The bones and fat were
placed on the altar and burned.

Froid Tribune: Friends residing at
Culbertson, Froid and Medicine Lake
will be sorry to learn that Father w.
P. O'Rourke, who has had charge of
the Catholic churches in these places
during the past several years, has
been called to PlentywoOd to take
charge of the church there and in
several of the other towns in the
northern part of Sheridan county and
over on the 500 line, it is said. Faith
er O'Rourke has been in charge of
the Froid church practically ever since
it was built and has been the means
of building it up and making it one
of the best churches in this part Of
the state. He has been a true friend
of everybody at all times and in all
cases and everybody regrets very
much his being called away at this
time.
His place will be filled here by a
priest from Sidney, who expects to

This is merely a typographical error
but on account of the wish Of such
people as Looney Lundberg to twist

than they are, we make this correc-
ton.

One of the astonishing things at

though $4,000 men are employed
there, few are ever seen outside the

Indeed, the scores Of interlocking
and interdependent conveying sys-
TENS, adapted to the tremendous
quantity production system, are the
despair Of many visiting engineers
who cannot understand how they can
be set in motion all at once, kept
eternally in motion and yet be SO
synchronized that the individual de-
liveries arrive invariably at given
points in exact accordance with the
needs of the manufacturing process.
The River Rouge plant as it now
stands is a mile and half long and
three-quarters Of a mile wide.
