LETTER FROM
THE MAJOR
ft
Major Edwards Writes Colonel Morton
I Characteristic Letter From
'.p:
if, the City of Montreal.
,• ...
Me Was Glad to Get Back From
Washington—Sends Regards
to the Ladies.
^Colonel Morton reports receipt of the
following from Major Edwards:
Montreal, Nov. 9.—My Dear Colonel:
It was most gratifying—the sight of
your own familiar hand in the last
cordial letter before me. But without
an adjunct of a stenographer—she is
busy on reports—how can I write you,
the way you go for my chirography
and yet it ought to be a God-send to
you—these letters of mine—to decipher
them—gives you something to do. I
was in Washington at the unveiling of
the Sherman statue and at the annual
meeting of the Army of the Tennessee.
Of course, I met many of the old-timers
—•fyhe fellows that bore aloft the flag in
the days that tried men's souls forty
years ago. Then they were youngsters
—there was no silver in their hair—no
halt in their locomotion—but today
'though the eye is brieht and the nerve
power is there as of yore—yet two score
years have made inroads upon their
physical makeup. You were asked after
frequently and I explained to all—the
reason of your absence was—you'd
prpmised to come' and could not break
your record—as a precedent—to the
promise. The trouble with you, coloncl.
is—that you never turn up when you are
expected. If you had the habit you
wnuul have been an angel of some sort
or other years ago.
The more I slept in Washington the
more tired I was and worn out. Com
ing back here I feel better. The at
mosphere is more like the glorious cli
matr of the Red River Valley. It braces
me up—and forcibly reminds me of the
grerittst country and the loveliest people
on topside of God's green earth. I tell
you, old man, this is a great old town—
and the people are as congenial and nicc
to me as though I had lived among
them for years instead of months—but
there is something about Fargo—and in
deed all of North Dakota—that appeals
to me as no other place ever can—and
why shouldn't it? It have lived the
better part of my life) in those sur
roundings—and I love every man, wo
man and child in the home that has been
mine so long.
I looked for Scott, Ike Clapp and other
North Dakotans at the Rite Temple in
W ashington, but no one there from all
Aat section. I am sure that my "wick
partner" would have been on hand—
but
for
slipping a cog somehow. Mrs.
Edwards and Rich ford are enjoying
Montreal as though to the manor born.
A.frer returning from Washington I
went out to Brookville—near the Thous
and Islands on the St. Lawrence, and,
took a few osteopath treatments. Then*
are a couple of graduates from Mrs.
deLendrecie's college there—Dr. David
son once editor of The Jamestown Capi
^gl/' and his sister who was a teacher in
T#land Park—j^ears ago. Dr. D.'s wife is
a daughter of Capt. I. C. Wade, once a
greit cattle raiser at Jamestown—you
probably remember him. I am going to
Brcokville on Friday night and by not
getting back till Sunday evening—I es
cape church service on Sunday—but
mamma goes. Dick is having a great
tiirc here at school with these matter of
fact people. The other day—he raised
his hand and said—"Can I lower the
window shade?" The master said—
"Does the shade trouble you, Edwards?"
Dick said—"No sir"—"then why should
you ask and bother me with such trivial
matters?" Dick said—"The shade don't
bother me but the sun shines on my
drawing lesson and I can't work, where
as if tne shade was lowered it would
shut off the sun—which does bother me"
—and iht m?ster permitted the shade to
be lowered while the pupils "lafed."
I wish, colonel, that you would
write- me often—when you want to cuss
somebody, cuss me—I don't mind—and
it ticklcs you. I so enjoy hearing from
Fargo that even your letters are wel
come. I want you to remember me to
all the good fellows and fellowesses that
you meet—not forgetting Mrs. Sloan and
Mrs. Billy Hunt and Mrs. Scharlie Page
and Mrs. Chauncey Wheeler.
I am making arrangements to go
south with you this winter. You re
member that many members of my old
company in the First Alabama Cavalry
live in and about Huntsville—and
nothing would afford me more pleasure
than to make them a visit—with you
along to figure as a sort of terrible ex
ample. You must let me know in time
c'tcngh to enable me to secure a leave
of absence—and then I am at your ser
vice. As always, sincerely yours,

PREPARED BY
ADVISED TO USE LIGNITE.
Soath Dakotans Advised to
Um Um
North
Dakota Urn
Ha.
R. L. Brown in Aberdeen News:
"The lignite with which a large part
of North Dakota is underlaid and a
small part of our own state, should
come into general use. The Saturday
Evening Post of late date calls atten
tion to the fact that the United States
owns a great deal of land in North
Dakota carrying this fuel and calls on
the government to keep title to same
to break the power of monopolies of the
fuel supply. It is claimed that the bri
quettes of the German process in which
lignite is subjected to heavy pressure
to squeeze out the water, makes a good
substitute for anthracite. It is said, too,
that the process is not expensive.
"But it is not necessary to wait for
the perfection and installation of this
process. I had some lignite left over
from last winter, when we were obliged
to use anything and everything possible
for fuel. This was left in a bin over
summer until fall and then put outside.
It was slacked considerably and from
being handled was much of it in a
powdered condition. However it had
largely dried out and to our surprise
proved an ideal fuel. In an air tight
stove it retains fire almost indefinitely
when shut off, and comes up quickly
when given draft again. It burns al
most completely to ashes with very
few clinkers and does not soil the
hands and clogs up the chimney. In
fact, it is a splendid substiute for the
very best of* soft soal which is almost
never sold 1h this country, viz.: the
cannel. It is not so condensed a fuel
but otherwise has practically all its
characteristics.
"From oun experience we believe it
would pay to purchase lignite in con
siderable quantities to permit it to drv
out thoroughly over summer. It is the
most economical of fuels if handled in
this way. This suggestion is made for
what it is worth, as 1 have no interest
in any mine."
NOTES BY QUILLDRIVER.
To The Forum: After mentally hi
bernating for several months, or to use
the apt phrase, of Grover Cleveland,
having been in a state of "Innocuous
desuetude," ofir dormant faculties were
aroused, to the highest pi^ch, by this
problem, about 'the "age of Ann.
By an algebraic process, the formula
of which is reserved we solved the dad
burned problem, thus acquiring a com
plete knowledge of Ann's age, which
we were about to disclose to the world,
when Ann, to our amazement instituted
a suit for breach of promise, against
Mike De la Bere.
Now, if Ann was 18 years of age,
when Mike was twice as old as he was,
then he is reputed to have made the
promise how old would Ann be be
fore she obtained judgment for $5,000
for damaged affections in the case, and
would Mike's unlifted hat reveal the
"barren scalp of time," after the collec
tion of the judgment.
The problem of the age of Ann, re
minds us of one given by a Hoosier
schoolmaster to a precocious pupil in
mathematics. The pupil was always de
manding test Rroblems, and the teacher
to gratify him, gave him the following
example late one Friday afternoon:
A frog in a well 100 feet in depth,
jumps up three feet each jump, and falls
back two feet until sixty feet of the
height is attained then he jumps up
two feet, each jump and falls back
three feet. How many jumps will the
frog make in getting out of the well?
The young mathematician figured all
day Saturday and all day Sunday and
returned to school Monday morning.
The teacher asked him, if he had as yet
solved the problem? He replied, "No
by Jings, if you stated the problem cor
rectly, that frog is half way to 1
before this time.
It is idle to speculate about Ann's
age, or any other girl's for that matter
—might as well meditate about the
sweet songs of "Annie Laurie/' or go
daft over that dad-gasted "Annie
Rooney" or sigh for "Anna Bdle Lee,"
who was all the world to me and then
imagine yourself to be Anna—nias and
go way back and sit down—to await the
next problem.
The age of Ann, is not for man
A problem worth the while,
For if she's young, she's glib of tongue
And snares you with a smiie^
If growing old, her age untold?
Perchance she's free from guile
With graceful mien, though not sixteen
She charms you with that smile.
The recent political eruption on the
Isthmus of Panama puts "Uncle Sam"
in the role of fulfilling manifest destiny,
Colombia's rapacity has given Panama
her long desired chance of indepen
dence and "Brother Jonathan" will
likely build that great canal, so neces
sary for the world's comrfierce.
In this connection we are reminded
of a flowery metaphor, used by Bishop
Fowler, in an address delivered after
the Spanish war. In one of his glowing
periods the bishop exclaimed "When
the Spaniards blew up the Maine we
went up in the air and came down
everywhere."
Of course, he referred to our island
possessions, Guam, Porto Rico and the
Philippines, and fragments of Uncle
Sat^ Uave been coming down' evet since
