Last Friday evening the Christ ian Endeavor society had a so cial in the church basement. Vacation experiences and some "stunts" were performed and this with a piano duet and a vocal solo furnished a good share of the entertainment. The boys' band played several selections which were greatly ap preciated. Light refreshments were served later in the evening. A DEATH A DAY IS THE NORTH DAKOTA RECORD An average of a death a day was established by North Dakota sportsmen in the first week of the open season for small game, such as ducks and prairie chickens, according to statistics compiled at Grand Forks, the death list being the greatest in the history of hunting in the state. In addition to the death rate, injuries totaling about the same number have occurred, and as a result of the series of accidents, the state board of control of game and fish has commenced a campaign of education designed to bring about the more careful handling of firearms in the field. Of the many accidents reported, only two have occurred in which the victims have been shot by fellow hunters. One of these men was fatally shot, while the other will live. To tell the condition of moon, the chief idea to keep in mind being the contradiction of the planet. New people can tell at a glance whether the moon is waxing or waning. Here is a whimsical rule to remember by. It is very simple to those who know Latin and is not difficult for those who do not. The first thing is to notice whether the moon is like a or a C—that is, whether the full semi-circular curve is on the right or the left. If the moon shows that naturally stands for discredit, "it wanes." But then comes in the great principle Luna semper fallaae (the moon is always deceitful), and one has to understand the opposite of what the moon says, so that a moon which shows a is a waxing moon, while a waning moon is like a C. Those who have no Latin will no doubt look to see whether the moon any more is decreasing. In which case they will understand that it is waxing, while a waning moon will deny that it is decreasing. Oyez Oyez Oyez One may not be ignorant, perhaps, That French, old French, remains as the language need in certain royal proclamation in jest. When "the King's assent" is given before the throne in "the chamber," the clerk cries in the language of our fathers, "Le roy le veut" ("The King so pleas"). If the bill that he is asked to approve is a money bill, the clerk adds after a profound hesitation: "The king thanks his good subjects, accepts their benevolence and is pleased." The proclamation on the traditional and the throne is preceded by call of the French her of former times: "Oyeal Oyea Dyes!" I Alas, that time has disfigured this and word of our country, and today the phlegmatic English herald cries praise to the people: "Oyeal Oyea! Oyeal!" Farmers Restaurant Good Meals 25c Rooms and Grocery in Connection Mrs. Joe LeNoue Proprietor Corner of Dakota Avenue and First Street TO A GOOD FRIEND OF MAN Ill-Pavorsd Creature Has Been Misunderstood and is Just Beginning to Be Appreciated. Few well-meaning creatures have been more thoroughly misunderstood than the homely, meditative and retiring toad. Formerly the toad was considered A venomous reptile, but in our day, its habits have been more carefully observed and its great value to the pomologist and gardener has been fully established on account of its propensity for destroying insects. We should, therefore, cultivate the friendship and assistance of the insectivorous reptiles, in which the striped snake, as well as that of the birds. Every tidy house detects the cockroach, mice, and other vermin. Two or three domesticated toads would keep the coast clear of these and would be found more desirable than a cat as they are wholly free from trespassing on the rights of animals. The bad is possessed of a timid and retiring nature, loving dark corners and shady places, but under kind treatment becoming quite tame. Many instances might be cited of pet toads remaining several years in a family and doing most valuable service with no other compensation than immunity from persecution. In Europe, toads are carried to the cities to market and are purchased by the horticulturists, who by their aid are enabled to keep in check the multiplication of the insect tribes which prey upon their fruits, flowers, etc. THOR'S HAMMER STILL USED English Fishermen Consider It a Charm Against Drowning Boas Other Peculiar Beliefs. The fishermen of Whitby would never dream of venturing out of port without a little hammer-shaped bone, from the head of a sheep, known as "Thor's hammer," as this little object is a very special charm against drowning. The mole's foot is also a "sure" cure for toothache or cramp according to locality. Amputated limbs are in some cases preserved so that the cripple may not be deficient in this respect in the next world. At Scarborough, an old peasant has come to be regarded as almost a wizard, for the country folk from round about come to him for relief from rheumatism. His "cure" consists of a copper bangle and ring, and on either end of the bangle, two small bureaus, cartridge cases, are wedged. These charms are sold to the patient in Suffolk, a girl always keeps her first tooth, then when she marries and has a child, the tooth is suspended about the infant's neck during the teething, as it is said to bring instant relief. These superstitions mostly exist in the counties which are washed by the North Sea. Doubtless they are but vistas of the days of the bold Viking marauders. — Ireland's Own. Retold for Tourist. The Bale-Geneva express, says the Standard's Geneva correspondent, was overcrowded the other day and travelers had to stand in the corridors of the second-class coaches. One tourist saw a seat vacant but covered with luggage and asked a passenger sitting near whether the seat was "occupied." "Yes," replied the stranger, "the man is in the restaurant wagon and will return soon." There the matter ended until the express reached Lausanne, when the owner of the baggage prepared to get out. "Pardon me," said the tourist, "that luggage does not belong to you," and called the guard. The latter aided with the tourist and the whole matter was placed before the station master. The selfish traveler had to prove, piece by piece, that the luggage on the seat belonged to the traveler. To him, and he finally was obliged to pay for two second class tickets. Varloue Earthquake Bounds. Earthquake sounds are described as variations of heavy rumbling, so low in pitch as almost to be more felt than heard (in many cases inaudible to persons who are deaf to very low tones), and belonging to one or another of the following types: The passing of wagons, thunder, wind, the fall of a load of stones, the fall of a heavy body, an explosion, or some other miscellaneous sound. In strong earthquakes the sound area occupies a central region (on an average two-thirds) of the disturbed region in moderate earthquakes the two areas are approximately of the same magnitude while in many slight earthquakes the sound area is larger than the disturbed area. As a rule, the beginning of the sound precedes the shock, and the end of the sound follows the end of the shock. Our Fairy Godmothers. The world, out of fairy books, is chary in furnishing its fairy godmothers, yet most of us have friends at whose touch we become more truly and happily ourselves than at other times. They seem able to endow us, through some magic of their own, with the beautiful vestments and the class alippers that free the spirit. These are our fairy godmothers. We are well to love them and pay them good heed, for through them we may enter into such possession of the precious gifts that we need have no dread of the striking hour. This, we must suppose, is what Cophetua did for his beggar-maid. At his glance, the queen in her blossomed, which later all the crumbs of the sea. OYSTERS!
