About an hour later we all went
to our rooms and, although I was
much excited about Zoe and the hap
penings of the day, l went to sleep.

three quarters of an hour afterward
that l was awakened. At first

something was wrong.

hanging over my bead. and, to my
horror, found that there was no
electricity. 1t wouldn't light. Then
knew something was wrong.
As L. passed Jacks door on my
way to the nursery, l called, Jack,
Jack. there's something wrong and
the lights are out"
l found to my relief that every
thing was still and quiet in the
nursery and l knew the babies were
all right and fast asleep. felt my
way to Zoe's door which opens off
of the nursery. and called her softly
so as not to awake the babies. There
was no answer.

the prince looked behind him. All
the mountains and trees and clouds
were reflected in the lake. and so he
supposed, the castle and the princess
must also be reflection.
"But no castle and no princess
could be seen anywhere. Nowhere
but in the still depths of the water.
"'1t must be mirage!' cried the
prince. Somewhere in the world
shall find this beautiful princess and
the ivory castle. l shall start on my
travels at once

that day. and journeyed far and wide
over the earth. Everywhere he went
he inquired if anyone knew of an
ivory castle. But no one knew. He
visited all the castles he had ever
heard of from China to the Land of
the Setting Sun, but none in the least
resembled the image he had seen in
the lake.
Every river and lake and sea he
explored. But the image never again
appeared. For years he wandered
and then returned finally in despair
to his own country.
''The first place the prince sought
was the blue lake in the mountains

castle and the gardens and the prin.
cess. This time she beckoned."

Nick.

1t was a real castle--not an image

prince had hunted all over the worlC

sometimes to make something very
hard out of something that is easS
and simple"

your lawyer can not find it in his
books. There is no such decision.
There is one to the exact contrary.
So the thing, in law, is simply fin

make it harder or easier to get illeg-

is done. You may enforce the law
or not enforce it; obey or disobey
it. You can not change it.
Whether a beer law (forget the

If the law works we'll, many Amer

But remember this: No matter if
it were a good law, and if most Of

LEAGUE CONSISTENCY
Northwest Press)

Governor Sorie is being criti-
cised quite generally by so-called
league papers because he has dared
to appoint TO positions Of trust
men who do not swear undaunieJ
allegiance to the league.
Because a man swedrs allegiance
TO political party. regardless of
what that party name may be. does
not especially fit him for a place
at the pie counter. 1t is only
small peanut politicians with
warped conceptions OF what is
right. Who are always shouting for
rarty regularity. Some of the pa
pers. most eXtravagant in con-
demnation of Governor Sorlie for
reorganizing men from outside the
league, were just as extravagant in
denouncing the republican caucus
held in Washington. ID. c.. when
bunch Of senators and represent
atives were real out Of the repu5-
lean party. If the senator's AMI
representatives thus read out Of
the party should have been recoS-
nized. Governor Sorlie has made no
grevious mistake by appointing
some one the leaguers of North
Dakota stand ready to rea,t out Of
their party. If Governor Sor,ie
has erred the national ostracisrn
was right; If the national ostrac-
ism was wrong then Governor Sor-
lie is right.
Governor Sorlie knows that he
will be held respons bile for any
failures or delinquencies in his ad
ministration and he is naturally
trying to make it success.
He knows that there are real
good men, honest men, outside Of
the league He knows that scamps
and sCoundreis and inferior abili
ties are to be found in all parties.
He knows that such men are not
entitled to recognition in his Of
fetal family and he serves the state
of North Dakota best by keeping
them out. He knows he was elect
Ell Governor for the whole state
and not for the league only. He is
trying to be North Dakota Gov
ernor and not merely league Gov
ernor.
Independence in politics should
be lauded rather than criticised.
League papers have extravagantiy
laudcd LaFollette for his political
independence and it is strange ;.ow
they can turn right around and
criticise Governor Sorlie for shows
ing signs of that same in ';pend-
ence. 1t looks like poor consist
ency.

Season your eating with good
cheer.
This is the advice of a reputable
Chicago physician and dietitician.
Conversation and laughter have q
good effect upon the digestive sys-
tenn, he says.
Although it is true that while
laughing one may swallow bit OF
unmasticated food. the harm is much
overbalanced by the good effect the
laughter has on the stomach.
Every time one laughs the dia-
phragm gives the stomach an extra
squeeze, and shakes it up and down.
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1925-06-02
-FARLES ON HEALTH----
LAUGH WHILE YOU'RE EATING

This is a part Of the movement OF
the stomach in digestion.
Laughter also stimulates the blood
vessels, causing the blood to flow
quickly, sending a warm glow to the
feet and limbs, and squirting the
stomach and liver into increased ac-
tivity.
To stimulate a pleasant atmos-
phere at the dining table. the house
wife should have the food look as
palatable as possible.
Clean linens, clean china ware and
sparkling glasses help. Also nice,
fresh bowl of flowers is great
stimulant to a pleasant feeling.

tious suggestion that some governor
announce that he will sign whatever
the legislature passes was rightly
treated as a joke. The people de-
mand that the governor usurp most

But. under our forms, we want the
substance Of autocracy. Why blame

it, under their forms?
The Danger In Economy
President Coolidge, working for
economy in the expenses of the ma
tional government, urges state adj
ministrations to seek a like economy
in their governments. 1t is good
advice.
But there is danger that it will be
taken in the easiest way, which is
not really economy. but extravaganza.
Real economy consists in getting
more or better service for the same
or less money That means funda-
mental reconstruction of the whole
state organization for raising. appro-
priating and spending money. 1t
TAKES study, courage, work, and
hardest Of all-thinking, to do that.
False economy is easier. and. for
one election, it may get quite as
many votes. 1t consists simply in
spending less money this year. And
the easiest way to do that is to stave
off until next year. or until the next
administration. expenditures that will
have to be made some time, and
could be made cheaper and more
usefully now than then.
This is the principal item in many
spectacular economy" crusades. 1t
is nearly always extravagant.
