PAGE TWO ' TALESOFOLD |[ New tease on mire | A MILL HAND DAYSINSTATE “TOLD IN BOOK Historical Society Volume Contains Much Material That Is Interesting The fifth volume of the Collec- tions of the State Historical Society of North Dakota, edited by Dr. 0. G. Libhy of the University of North Dakota, has just come from the press and contains much of interest to pioneers of the state, and to those interested in the beginnings of North Dakota's history. The biography by Grace Green- wood of D. M. Holmes, prominent in Masonry and civie enterprises, gi a vivid picture of the growth of t! eastern part of the state, partici larly Grand Forks, where Holmes made his home after coming to North Dakota, outside of a short period spent in Pembina. The neces- sity for versatility in pioneer life strikingly depicted in Holmes’ cal e, for he was at one time or another following his arrival in this state a surveyer, a lumberman, a telegraph operator, a druggist and a lawyer, besides holding several county offices. In 1876 Holmes with a number of other men, left Grand Forks for an expedition into the Black Hills, where it was rumored there were rich gold deposits. In the diary which Holmes kept very complete during the whole adventure, is found an interesting commentary * | boisterous, on the trip across the state, and into South Dakota. At Bismarck Holmes records that he attended two dances, and the party had a gun stolen the first night; then a storm arose, which prevented the arrival of trains, and held up the expedi- tion for two weeks. The diary is replete with colorful incidents, and faithful description of the country passed over. Burleigh county suffered at least five changes in boundary line, before it acquired its present dimensions, according to the account given by Luella J. Hall of the formation of the counties of North Dakota. The article is profusely illustrated by maps which indicate clearly each important change in the county lines. A picturesque story is that of the W-Bar ranch on the MYssouri slope, by Bertha M. Kuhn, relating the history of Pierre Wibaux, ener- getic Frenchman, who founded his ranch about the same time as the Marquis de Mores began his origi- nal “Get Rich Quick” schemes, and Theodore Roosevelt became a cow- boy nemr Medora. The story if Wibaux's rise to the title of “Cat- tle King,” of his “White House,” and of the obstacles he overcame in his little kingdom is good read- ing. To lovers of Indian history, the history of Turtle Mountain Chippe- wa, by John Hesketh, and _ the sketch of the Minnesota massacre by Victor Renville will be an at- traction. Both accounts show in- finite car in the matter of detail- ed information, clearly written, and contain some striking descriptive passages. The book clearly indicates its ex- perienced editing, and will be in- teresting, not only to students, but to anyone who likes a well writ- ten narrative of the truth that is so often stranger than fiction. Slope County Bank Case Is Up On Appeal Appeal has been taken to the su- preme court in the case in which the State Bonding Fund seeks to have itself declared a preferred cred- itor in the defunct First State and Slope County, Banks of Amidon, to recover $56,954.51; the amount re- covered from the bonding fund by Slope county because of public de- posits lost in the bank failures. The case, Which is against L. R. Baird, receiver, and J. S. Douglas, county treasurer at the time the money was deposited and lost, is brought by S. A. Olsness, as Commissioner of In- surance. He asks that the money whieh had been deposited be. de- clared a trust fund, that the assets of the bank be impressed with trust for the amount, and that the. bond- ing fund have preference in its claim upan all of the assets of the banks, and he=paid before the claims of the creditors of the banks are allowed.

Twice since the 12-hour day was eliminated, in October and Ma the Gary works have set world records for volume of pig iron pro- duction. Some workers bitterly dislike the shorter work day of eight or ten hours. They are mostly husky young foreigners who can stand the gait, who prefer to toil longer hours, draw more money, and get back sooner to affluent peasant- hood overseas.

They were country people, and they had never been to a theater before. “Please God, it isn’t true, Mary!” said the old man. His wife pressed his hand gently. She knew how deeply he felt upon the subject. id It was, for those simple minds, 1 ie situation. Thefr daughter, had left the farm three years before. And some meddiesome busybody had told the old people that she was actually—an actress! To their simple minds there could have been nothing more degrading. The stage was the acme of all that was vile in the world. They had come up to town, without announe- ing their intentions, and were now jawalting the rising of the curtain | upon the first act of “The Mer- | chant of Venice.” Portia does not appear at the be- ginning of this play. And before she had come on the stage the old people were staring in wonder at the magnificence of the setting. More than that, in place of the immorality which they had expect? ed to find inculeated, they found a story, so gripping, so pathetic that they were spellbound. But when Portia appeared they leaned forward with a revival of their old terror. Portia was Lucy! —Miss Margaret Lake, as she was billed. It was true, then! There was almost an expression of pride, but there was also be- wilderment. His Lucy! Their ele, girl!

He stood up waved his hand. “By Cricky, Lucy, you’ve got he yelled. “Good girl! That's the way! Teach the rogue a les- sor! Tell his honor not to let him get away with hig life! .

And the old parents, shrinking back Into their seats, the observed of every eye, saw that Lucy had seen them. They sat still in their seats, be wildered and dazed, long after the curtain had fallen, and the theater had begun to empty. An usher came toward them. “Mr. and Mrs. Mullins?” he in- quired blandly,. casting curious glances at the old couple. “Miss he whispered, That's our girl! Look in his seat and fen ees aie Matgitet Lake Would Tike to see you in her dressing room. Will you step this way, please?” Their daughter was waiting. She was attired in her street gown, and she had carefully washed every trace of paint from her face. As the old couple halted, rather sheepishly, at the door, Lucy ran townrd them, and was clasped in thelr arms, “Father!” she cried. “So you have found me out! And mother, j too! Why didn’t you let me know, and I would have had, a box for you!” “By gum, Lucy, what would we do with a box?” ejaculated her fa- ther. “Why, Lucy, we wanted to be somewhere where we could see you. We couldn’t have seen you in a box, Lucy. The way you did up that Drylocks fellow was scrumptious. Some derned old dabby told us you were on the stage, and we come down here to save you from ruin—but I guess we don’t mind now as much as we did—do we, mother?” ‘And then Lucy insisted on intfo- ducing them to her friends—to Mr. Grosvenor, the “star,” and to va- rious subordinate members of the company. Altogether it was a night of surprises for the old peo- le. E But as they went out together, Lucy made an excuse’ to run back for something, and she caught Mr. Grosvenor by the arm. “I wish we had told them everything!” she whispered. “Shall I, Philip?” He nodded and she went on. “Did you ever stop to think, my dear, it’s just old people like these —our fathers and mothers in far- away villages—that make the stage as good as It Is today, and keep so many of us better than we would be, perhaps?” (@, 1984, Western Newspaper Unton.) \ps : Child Lepers Are Many in India ondon, July 12—The British pire Leprosy Relief Association embarked upcn a campaign to ve the child lepers of India, a cording to Frank Oldreive, the sec- retary of the association. thousands of these blighted children,” Mr. Oldreive said recently. “In the asylunts of the Mission to- Lepers alone are between 400 and 500 of them, and they may be seen by the score wherever lepers congregate.’ Race Going Is : Costly in Ireland Dublin, July 12.
