Doubt- | less this will come in the future, for Germany bases almost | her whole industrial activity in the great Ruhr region which occupies so much space in the press, on coal similar to lignite *and declared by man ientists to be inferior. eal tut the plenitude of lignite makes the development of | an apparatus which will permit use of the coal in natural | ate at a great saving of immediate and great importance. ‘If the claims of experts of the development of an efficiency | iwith lignite at the Agricultural College greater than that! developed by use of eastern coals and at a saving of one-} third, are true, and there is every reason to believe that they | are, scores of industrial firms in eastern North Dakota and | w n Minnesota would profit by abandoning use of Illinois coal for North Dakota lignite. This alone ought to double | production of lignite in North Dakota. | PAYNE, BURNS AND SMI‘ és herein are | AFTER THEY DIE _ Speaking of Abraham Lincoln, one of the leading New York newspapers said editorially in its:issue of May 19, 1860: | “The Republican convention at Chicago has nominated | Abraham Lincoln of Illinois for President of the United | 1 if States —a third-rate Western lawyer, poorer than poor ##me snd let it exercise in the open. | were Pierce. The conduct of the Republican party in this matter} is a remarkable indication of a small intellect growing | smaller. They passed over Seward, Chase and Banks, who are statesmen and able men, and they take a fourth-rate! lecturer who cannot speak good grammar and who, to raise the wind, delivers his hackneyed, illiterate compositions at $200 apiece. Our readers will recollect that this peripatetic! politician visited New York two or three months ago on his}| inancial tour, when, in return for the most unmitigated sh, interlarded with coarse and clumsy jokes, filled his | cis Five days later a leading Philadelphia newspaper said, of Lincoln: ‘There is not in all the history of his life any exhibition of intellectual ability and attainment fitting him for the high and responsibile post for which he has been! nominated. His coarse language, his illiterate style and his | vulgar and vituperative personality in debate contrast very | strongly with the elegance and classical oratory of the emi-| nent senator from New York. | In wilder moments some of the leading papers and po-| litical haranguers called Lincoln a “freak,” a “baboon who had escaped trom the morasses of Illinois,” a “vulgar | clown” and a “low-bred village politician.” | Lincoln, when he ran for the presidency, stood about as much ridicule and unmerited slander as any political candi-| date in our history. However, he looms, greater and greater | with the passing of the years. His greatness lives on while most of the newspapers that vituperated him have died of dry rot. You contrast Lincoln’s standing; in history with the things they said jut him, when he was alive. There never was @ better illustration’ that the importance and _ historical | worth of a man cannot be judged by the generation in which | he lives. It takes death and the pers,pective of time to “place” him | properly. Most of the prominent people who rank highly | now will be gone and fox gotten within half a century. And} the ones who survive time’s sifting process and emerge | truly great will be, *n many cases, individuals who are un-| derrated today. The ultimate position of Woodrow Wilson. and Theodore Roosevelt in history, for instance, will not be known for at least 50 years. 2 ‘gf JUST A CRAZE ; i The world’s tallest lighthouse, lantern 385 feet above the, water, will be built as a monument to Christopher Columbus on one of the islands near the American continent. | That strikes American fancy, for we’re animated by a! craze to do things big —tallest,} largest, heaviest. It’s a} phase all civilizations go through, like Egyptians building pyramids and tihe Chinese millions toiling to erect the Great all. . The speed: craze, however, is eclipsing our craze for size. Our civilization is aging fast. i | : BANDITS \ Emmet Dalton, only sutvivor of the Dalton gang, says: | “What chance has the old-style bandit, ;,who worked with 2! gun,and blackjack — decent and out in ‘the open — with thej modern bandit who lurks in the mahogzny office and works | with the’ stock dividend ancl bankruptcy proceedings?

Crookabone jamped. “Just getting a little firewood, my friends,” he whined. “I'm just out and I need some to boil my sassafras soup for my dinner.” “Then you are going the wrong di- rection for it,” said Mister Tatters sternly.

Gray falls in love with Barbara Parker, daugh- ter of Tom Parker. The Briskow family, friends of Gray, have gone to the mountains, where Allie, the daughter, has a tutor and a dancing | master. The dancing teacher kisses Allie and, enraged by his advance she throws the professor from window. Mrs. Ring, the tutor, |solves to resign. The hotel man lorders the Briskow family from the hotel but Calvin Gray arrives in time to arrange for them to ‘remain.

To have Calvin Gray alone, all to herself—Ma, as usual, had disap- peated--and to discuss with him ex- iting questions of dress and good taste that she could not discuss with her. own people; to meet his occa- sional hearty approval—well, it was enovgh to\make a gifl drunk with happiness. Gowns that he liked be- came precious; she hated those that he ‘condemned. Her fingers grew clumsy with haste, her cheeks burned. He said she wore her clothes well, that she carried, herself well. He approved of her—liked her! God above! And to think that she had. contemplated suicide! “Where: is: Ma?’ Gray inquired: when-the last gown had heén pa- r and -when Allie «appeared in’ her ‘riding. suit. at i i i i i | | goes or what foolishness.” “Perhaps she was muking an ass of himself.

Your charm is in your simplicity.

Around Allie’s hips he flung the searf, dréw it’snug and smooth, then knotted it. Next he snatched the length of chiffon and bound it about her head. His touch was deft and certain; a moment and it had’ been fashioned to suit him. This proved to be an evening when people really did turn their heads as the Briskows were shown to‘ their table, but for once Allie suffered no embarrassment, {for she felt su} they were looking at Calvin Gray, and in the shining glory of his pres- ence she knew that she and her - parents were invisible. It was the sort of situation in which Gray appeared to best advan- tage, So he talked incessantly during jthe meal, and in a key that kept his companions unconscious of their surroundings. On their way out they passed the entrance to the ball- ;room and paused to look in.
