'Do you mean that we are to take

Wouldn't that be NIGEL"
Nancy clapped her hands. "Do
you really mean it," she cried. ooh,
know SO many people who are
wishing things. People and things.
Once when Johnny Sweep and Mex
and ! were helping Santa Claus we
heard the little wooden animals in
Noah's Ark just wishing and wish
ing for something"
WHAT" asked the Fairy Queen.
"That's exactly what ! wanted to
know. What were the little wooden
animals wishing?'
"They were wishing" spoke up
Nick, that they could be real ami
mails, big ones like the ones in the
circus. They said that tigers and
lions and giraffes were not made to
live in a little wooden box"
Where are these little creatures
now?" asked the Fairy Queen.
Santa Claus gave them to little
boy called Bobby Wilson," said Nick.
Then We'll 60 to Bobby's house."
said the Fairy Queen.
Two Spot knew the way and by
and by he lit on the porch roof right
outside Of Bobbys window.
Nick jumped off and gently put
up the window and stuck in his head
and looked around. Come in" he
beckoned. Hes not here"
So Nancy and the Fairy Queen
climbed over the window sill and
there they were right in Bobby's
room where all his tracks and toys
and books were-but not in the best
order, / must say.
The little ark animals were scat
tered all about. Some were lying
on their sides and the elephant was
lying on his back in corner, his
four feet sticking straight up into
the air in most dismal manner.
"Get up, everybody" said Nick,
land make a bow to the Queen"
Instantly all the animals scram-
bled up and bowed, although it was
very difficult for the elephant.
"What do you want most?" asked
the Fairy Queen kindly. 81 want to

''To be real" said the elephant.
"To be real" said the lion.
"To be real" said the giraffe.
"To be real" said all of them.

Queen. "You all seem to agree, any

get on tax valuation. How can we
cut down taxes for the farmers if
one fourth of the land in some town
ships is owned by the Bank and the
taxes on it is cancelled? The conse-
quence will be that the farmers in
such townships will have to increase
their taxes to make up for the land
owned by the Bank that is not taxed.
AS an example, if township had
two or three sections Of land on one
side that is taken by the Bank of
North Dakota and was rented to
say, three farmers with from three
to seven children what would be the
result. Nine times out of ten the
law would compel the township to
build a schoolhouse and compel them
to have nine months Of school which
would call for $500 year for
teacher and $4,000 to build the school
house. Under the present plan it
would be up to the tax payers to
raise the money without assistance
from the Bank.

THE GAME LAWS

Editor Bismarck. Tribune,
Bismarck, N. Oak. =
Sir: H '
have just read with considerable
interest, a letter in the Fargo Daily
Tribune written by w. c.. Taylor,
President of the North Dakota Game
Board. this letter contains much that
is we'll known and much that is
true also some points with which /
cannot agree.
Mr.. Taylor says that the anti-dog
law is good one and points to the
increase of chickens in the state as
proof; let us look into this claim
for moment, in the Province of
Saskatchewan hunting with dogs is
allowed and during the past six
years prairie chickens have greatly
increased in numbers, to such. an
extent that l believe there are more
chickens in the Municipality of
Argyle than in. amy like area, in
North Dakota and right here is the
fly in Mr.. Taylor's ointment, in the
last five years there have been
trained in and around the district
mentioned, from five hundred to a
thousand bird dogs each year by
professional trainers from all parts
! of the United States, and yet the
birds are not decreasing but on the
contrary are on the increase.
+ will admit one thing that the
anti-dog law has done, it has chang
ed lot Of sportsmen into common
pot-hunters and sneaks.
What about the wounded birds
that are lost and dead birds the
hunter fails to find on account Of
the absence of his friend, the dog to
find them, does the hunter count
them in his game limit? Not that
you will notice, he keeps on shoot
ing until he has the limit in his
coat or more, usually more.
asked at least dozen hunters
this fall if they had found all the
birds that dropped to their guns
and in every case / received the
same answer, they had always lost
some birds, this would not have
happened had they been shooting
over dog.
Personally would rather take my
dog afield to hunt chickens and
leave my gun at home than take my
gun and leave my dog. at home, but
the. anti-dog crank will not allow you
to take your dog afield without a
gun, suppose for fear that you
will make the chickens so wild that
he can't pot them.
A few years ago before the anti
dog law, / had occasion to 60 down
near Buffalo Lodge lake to test some
harseS for export, it was in the
month of, August and as would
have considerable time on my hands
decided to take dog along so
that might give him some work in

opened, a friend, my son and went

SAME TEMPTATION.
40 YEARS AGO

SAME TEMPTATION
40 YEARS AGO
In the pre- scientific age of medi-
cine-which is any time before 35
or 40 years ago--the same tempta-
ton confronted medical theories.
The generalization of Hahnemann,
for instance, that "like cures like
that is, that remedy which in large
doses produces certain symptoms
will in very small doses relieve the
same symptoms-was based on actual
observation that this does happen
with certain remedies, as strychnine
and ipecac.
But no one would now make a
general rule of it. II is true or not,
in each particular instance. accord
ing to the observed facts.
The moral of which-and medi-
cine is only one of its applications
is to revere facts; to respect theories
soundly deduced from all the known
facts, and to distrust theories hastily
generalized from a few facts.
For instance: apply it to the in
ternational questions which our
newly awakened international minds
are constantly asking.
"What does Germany think? What
does Japan want?"
There is no answer, because the
questions do not mean anything.
Germany" does not think anything;
Japan" does not want anything.
There are all sorts of Germans and
all sorts Of japanese, and they think
and want all sorts Of things.
One sort may get possession of
government, and the organized ma
ton may do one thing. as Germany
did in 1914, but no whole nation ever
thinks or feels or wants any one
thing or has any one character or
temperament.
We know this about our own
neighbors and our own country; but
when we consider distant peoples we
are likely to personify whole nations
and to jump at general conclusions
