These have all returned to their posts of duty, having closed their cot- tages on Grand Forks bay, The University of North Da- kota, located at Grand Forks, is a young and thriving institution, having an attendance in all de- partments of about 700 students. Among the departments‘thus far established are the college of liberal arts, the normal depart- ment and teachers’ college, the college of law, the first two years of a college of medicine, the school of commerce and a prepar- atory department. The university is ' situated about a mile and a half west of the city of Grand Forks, having excellent transit facilities by means of an electric street car line. It has also dormitory ac- commodations for both young men and young women. There are about forty members of the faculty staff and along with the regular academic courses the physical education is carefully looked after by alady director in physical culture for the young women and an athletic director, who is a physician, for the young men. There were about eighty in the graduating class in June and the attezdance is increasing as fast as the accommodations will permit. Many scudents in northern Minnesota, living along the lines of conveniences, have - availed themselves of the privifege and opportunity of attending the uni- versity, located, as it is, so near to them.

Later, Professor Wood- worth bought a lot and built; and during the past summer Presi- dent Merrificld had a beautiful cottage erected adjacent to the others, in what 1s known as Grand Forks bay, undoubtedly the most beantiful and attractive spot on Lake Bemidji. The people and city of Bemidji welcome these families to the lake each summer. On their leaving for home they all ex- pressed themselves as highly pleased with the lake and the city, and with the treatment ac- corded them by the people of The White Headed Boy. The phrase “his mother’s white head- ed boy” is as old as the hills'in Ire- land. It appears in many of the Irish fairy storles of the last century. Irish mothers who knew good fairies always kept the secret for the “white headed boy” of the family. Gerald Griffin in one of his best short stories years ago used the phrase as one he had bor- rowed from an old Celtic book. s T Mixed as to Definitions. Hungry Higgins—Wot! You dunno wot a miser 1s?

D. Fort of Hankin- scn, N. D, $450 today—the habit, and the honesty of Miss Minnie Brown, chambermaid at the Vendome hotel, says the Minneapolis Journal of Saturday evening. Mr. and Mrs. Fort arrived from Hankinson yesterday and were assigned to room 103 at the Vendome. This morning the huppy couple arose in great haste and, making the proper farewells at the hotel, caught the 9 o'clock Great Northern train for Bemidji. About the time Mr. and Mrs. Fort were catching the tramn, Minnie Brown, chambermaid- in ordinary to the Vendome, caught sight of something under one of the pillows on the bed in No. 103 whose form and substance is strangely familiar to woman- kind. As Miss Brown guessed, the object was a bustle, But it was no extraordinary combination of silks and satins, such as mere man sometimes gets a glimpse of out of the corner of his eye when his virtuous gaze is tempted by the shop window displays. It was just a common bustle and had it been found on the floor would probably have been in the furnace long ere this. Having discovered it under the pillow, Miss Brown made investigation. Then she called the clerk. Clerk and chambermmd care- fully ‘undid the article of wearing apparel and found therin $440 in Canadian bills and $10 in gold. “These Canadians always have money,”’ commented the assist- ant clerk, Beebe. “These Canadians” from Hank- inson, N. D., apparently did not have enough to comfortably leave $450 behind, however, and frantically expressed their preference for carrying it there;: by felephoning from Anoka. room?” queried Mr. Fort. “Did you loose anything?”’ was the response of Mr. Beebe, “No but my wife did,” was the answer. “All right we have it,”’ replied the hotel clerk, “Thank you. Send it to Be- midji,” replied the Forts. Miss Brown has received com munication from the couple and placed it on file. Vegetables and Kruits, The term vegetable has reference to the whole or any part of a plant culti- vated especially with reference to use at the table. But the use of the word vegetable doesn’t always depend upon cooking, for celery is a vegetable and apples are fruit whether eaten raw or cooked, One would suppose the toma- to to be entitled to the term fruit, for the method of its ralsing resembles that of fruit. But it Is usually called vegetable, whether eaten raw or cook- ed, in spite of its appearance. The quince is so fruitlike in appearance, 80 resembling apples, pears, etc,, that it persists in being called fruit though eaten only, when cooked. Sometimes the vegetable is a bud, as with cab- bages and brussels sprouts; leaves, as spinach; stems above ground, as as- paragus; stems enlarged (tubers) un- derground, as common potatoes, or roots, as sweet potatoes, turnips, beets and carrots,—St. Nicholas. The Women of Tehuantepec. The climate of the Tehuantepec isth- mus compares most favorably with that of Panama, being mild and health- ful, writes Rene Bache in Technical ‘World Magazine.

They were met at Walker by Mr. Reynolds and by him carried to Bear Island on his “Ranger,” with a short stop at the govern- ment school. They yisited the haunts of the native Indians on the island as well as the-scenes of the fighting in the Indian out- break there some years ago: The return trip was not without excitement, for the wind rose to a gale and caused the “Ranger” to pitch and roll 'in a way that many of the party had never seen before.

ULTIMATE ANNEXATION. British View of Outcome of Cuban Disorders. London, Sept. 24.—American inter- vention in Cuba and the ultimate an- nexation of the island by the United States are looked upon as certain in official and. diplomatic circles here, where it is declared that America is being forced to accept responsibility for Cuba just as Great Britain has been compelled to act the policeman in other parts of the world. The fol- lowing Britich official view was ex- pressed to the Associated Press: “America may not like it, but she must come to it, and from all appear- ances now is-the time. Capital has been introduced into Cuba with the understanding that America will main- tain order and it is America’s duty to intervene to protect property and stop eontinuous disorders.” A report is in circulation that Swift & Co. are negotiating for the business of Armour & Co., J. Ogden Armour, now head of the latter company, be- ing desirous to quit the turmoils ot business and take a more actwe part in society life.
