At Midnight the little woman by the
writing desk arose and asked the big
lumberman 10 take up a collection OF
a nickel apiece from those gathered
In the parlor car. Chances OF wonder
were directed her way, but It was

collection was being taken. she turned
10 the desk and began to write on a
sheet Of the elegant stationery Of the
railroad And this was what she
wrote:

The car soon was In an uproar. and
the little old woman was embarrassed
by the attention shown her.
Then the big lumberman suggested
that the message should have "A sigma

to blot out and cHace the

make them as brothers again.

to the world something more
than any human agency, no

like a benedietion over every

of Christmas because il raises
man to his greatest heights
because il brings into his
heart a blessed and holy
peaee-and because il gives
him a clearer understanding
of the needs of his fellow
man and a desire to help him
to happiness. which, IL prse-
ticcd each day by all of us

Governor Sweet Is advocating q

penitentiary should be looked upon us
an institution for correction, rather
than one for punishment. II is re-
ported that the inmates of the North
Dakota state prison, working in a
state twine plant, made q net profit
last year of $28,878.
Such 4 bill came very close to pass

Did You Ever
Stop to Think

That more cities die for want Of public
spirit than for any other reason.
That the advertising columns of your
newspapers are serving constantly to in
form the thrifty buyers as to where to
find bargains.
That the spirit of 1--WE Can and We WilI'
of your citizens is what has made your
city what it is today
That this spirit of boasting is nourished
by men of vision, and those who have the
will to bring these visions to the realm of
the material, your present greatness is
simply a prelude of what is to come.
That if this spirit is lost your present
greatness will fade away
That in some cities many knockers are
! taking altogether too much "jaw exer-
cise"
That there are no better advertisements
for a city than prosperous newspapers
The more advertising they carry, the bet
ter impression they make upon the out
side world. Seen anywhere they give
the impression that they represent live,
up-tO-date communities, and that such
communities are good ones in which to
live.
That some men have their vision obscur-
ed by the darkness cast by their own
shadows. Nothing satisfies them because
they are unable to please themselves.
