Do You Want Beautiful!.themsameAmericanisdHousthen
Things in Your Home?
Things that will not only look well when
new, but will grow more attractive with wear?
Nothing so makes or mars the beauty of your
home as do the floor coverings. Nothing grows
to look more homely sooner than cheap rugs.
WHITTALL RUGS
are beautiful to begin with—their designs and
colorings copied from rare antiquities. They are
dyed only with colors that have successfully
withstood the test of 30 days direct sunlight. And
wear only serves to make the wonderful texture
more silky—the soft colorings more harmonious.
Whittall Quality and Whittall Prices

WM. WIRT MILLS'
NEW YORK LETTER
New York, Oct. 16, 1915.
How quickly do events shove one
another out of the picture in this kal
eidoscopic country! Only the other
day the one thought of Woodrow Wil
son was as the bridegroom-to-be
proudly escorting his fiancee to the
atre and ball game. His success in
happily ending all diplomatic controv
ersies with Germany had faded from
the picture. The eager public expecta
tion of vigorous handling of England's
interference with American commerce
was for the time forgotten in gallant
tributes to the woman chosen to be the
"first lady in the land."
But the hands swing around the
clock and the President is again the
politician, bidding in graceful phrases,
over the heads of the Daughters of
the American Revolution, for another
term at the White a plat
for of first. And theto
text. An so battle of
1916 is on.
Some of the real facts about the
loan to England and France are com
ing out. The loan was not greatly
over-subscribed, and the amount was
made up by bankers and ammunition
makers, which amounts to the latter
accepting five-year notes for their
goods. In order to unload the bonds
upon the public the price has been
cut three points and a force of
700—newspapers
expert salesmen Jiave been organized
to market the bonds, but this will not
be an easy job.
And the fact that leaked out that
this business is not to end with this
half billion loan, but that the foreign
commissioners are staying here to ne
gotiate a series of such loans. The
result of their efforts will depend up
on whether the American public de
cides to invest all it has gained thru
the war in the paper of the Allies.
The possibilities of America for the
immigrant were dramatically illus
trated here this week, when Jacob H.
Schiff, the banker, celebrated the fif
tieth anniversary of his arrival in this
country by presenting to Barnard Col
lege for Women half a million dollars
to erect a students' hall.
The New York "World" has resum
ed its exposures of British interfer
ence with American commerce, re
vealing that English cable censorship
is costing American firms millions in
ruined trade, business being diverted
to English merchants and the growth
of commerce between America and
neutral countries being restrained.
There are surprising turns of for
tune in this world. A Roumanian Jew
sings at his work as a truck driver.
By chance an Impressario hears him,
and Morris Horn is being trained for
grand opera.
The "iron horse" will have to look
to its laurels for speed. Locomotives
have made 120 miles an hour for short
distances, but in the automobile races
here the other day Anderson sustain
ed a speed of 102 miles an hour for
350 miles.
An effort to commit a husband to a
sanitarium because of his jealousy of
his wife was halted the other day by
Judge Niemann, who ruled that jeal
ousy, however obstreperous or un
founded, was not in itself an evidence
of insanity.
Again the old familiar cry of "Hard
Times" has been sounded by one of
the advance agents of the historic par
ty of the "full dinner pail," but incon
tinently enough one of his fellow
partisans in the State administration
brings out on the same day that there
ara 222,025 automobile owners in this
state.
The persecution of the Jews in Rus
sia and in Russian Poland has become
an issue in the New York daily news
papers. Heretofore only the surface
of the Jewish problem has been skim
med, for Russia was able to suppress
the facts as to the terrible events
and the only information obtainable
was from private sources. Some time
ago Secretary Bryan cabled to the
American Consul General in Warsaw
for information as to the condition of
the Jews, but with Russia in control
it was impossible to get the facts.
Any Jew disclosing information would
have endangered his own life and sub
jected his people to fresh persecu
tions.
But now trustworthy non-Jewish
American journalists are getting the
and these investigations are be
ing published in the newspapers of
this city. The terrible fate of this
dispersed race is making a deep im
pression here.
The Boy Scouts of America are be
ing attacked with rare impartiality as
too military and as not military
enough. The fact is that the training
of a Boy Scout -does not include the
manual of arms, but it does give him
every other qualification for a good
soldier, in teaching him hiking, camp
ing, endurance, self-reliance and disci
pline.
The moves in the new war theatre
in the Balkans have profoundly stir
red pro-Ally circles here and it is not
able that the ablest of the pro-Ally
newspapers frankly admits the ser
iousness of the situation, with scant
concern for English sensibilities,
pointing out the probability of estab
lishing a Teutonic thoroughfare to
Constantinople, the possibility of forc
ing Russia to a separate peace, and
the menacing of the British empires
in Egypt and India. But after mar
shalling these facts with force, ad
mitting the possibility of German vic
tory, the reviewer brushes his own
arguments aside and dismisses all his
fears as having no more basis than the
"imaginative audacity" of the Teu
tons.
People familiar with Balkan condi
tions are not surprised at the develop
ments in favor of the Central Powers
and against the Allies, for it has never
been a question of sentiment with the
Balkan states but of selfishness. Each
has long cherished nationalistic aims,
each has something to get, each has
watched to see which of the battling
groups was likely to win, and the ac
tion of Bulgaria is merely a recogni
tion that the Central Powers are win
ning. Seeing a strong power arising,
the Bulgarians have thrown their lot
with them, and it is not unthinkable
that other lesser powers will do like
wise. In short the action of Bulgaria
is not a diplomatic victory for Ger
many, is not a diplomatic defeat for
Great Britain, but is a consequence
reached through the achievements of
armies.
It is proving exceedingly difficult to
stir up zeal for the proposed new state
constitution that is to be sumbitted to'
'the votes of the electorate on Novem-*
NOT ENOUGH CHILDREN
ever receive the proper balance of foSd
to sufficiently nourish both body and
brain during the growing period when
nature's demands are greater than in
mature life. This is shown in so many
pale laces, lean bodies, frequent colds,
and lack of ambition.
For all susli children we say with
unmistakable earnestness: They need
Scott's Bmulsion, and need it now. It
possesses in concentrated form the very
food elements to enrich their blood. It
changes weakness to strength it makes
them sturdy and strong. No alcohol.

ber 2nd. And to make matters worse
for Elihu Root's masterpiece of con
stitutional provisions, the Republican
organization has made it a "party
measure," calling upon the faithful in
the G. O. P. to vote for this new con
stitution because it was framed by
their party.
So the public is left in doubt what
do about this issue.

$2,000 IN BANK NOTES
TAKEN FROM MAILS
Currency Shipment, Nothing But
Newspapers When It Reaches
Antler, N. Dak.
Grank Forks, N. D., Oct. 18—Two
thousand dollars in currency mailed
in Grand Forks by the First National
bank, was extracted from its package
being made to take the
place of the money—sometime before
it was opened in the office of the Ant
ler bank by Cashier Ricker, 24 hours
after being mailed.
Postal officials have been working
on the case several days, news of the
disappearance of the cash only becom
ing known yesterday.
The money was mailed to the local
bank's correspondent at Antler and
postal special agents have been trac
ing the parcel from the point of origin
to the point of delivery. So far they
have failed to find the point where the
package was tampered with.
Examination of the package by Fed
eral authorities has shown that the
work of tampering was crudely carried
out, the sealing wax being melted off,
while the paper around it was badly
scorched in the process. The Antler
State bank is one of the D. N. Tall
man line of North Dakota banks.—

MAN AND HIS LAUGH.
Upon
Self Restraint and Its Effects
Human Emotions.
Laughter is a sign of high develop
ment The nearer one is to the animal
the less one laughs. The more highly
developed we become the more do we
perceive humor. For laughter, it must
be remembered, is a sign that an emo
tion has suddenly been set free. It is
like a touch on the trigger of a gun, the
gun being self restraint
No one ever tells an animal (In the
wild state) that there are certain things
that he must not do. There is no direct
prevention of an act that the animal
wants to perform. Consequently the
animal has no self restraint
Man, on the other hand, is surround
ed by commandments from babyhood
onward. He is always being told by
some one, first by his parents, then
by the laws of society, that there are
things that he must not do. The de
sire to do these things, coupled to the
knowledge that he dare not do them,
causes a tense emotion. The animal
lives as the occasion rises. Man is
keyed up by the continuous conflict of
occasions.
It is the relief from this keying up
that gives rise to laughter. The great
er the tension caused by the delay be
tween impulse and act the funnier
does the thing seem which releases It
Something which would seem only
moderately funny if it happened in the
street becomes screamingly ludicrous
in church because of the tension of
feeling that one must be solemn. When
a snowball hits a silk bat the sight
makes one laugh because of the feel
ing that whatever else a silk hat might
be Intended for. It was not as a target
for snowballs. Exaggerations are of
ten funny, because they twist our emo
tion from a usual to an unexpected
channel.
A story teller who laughs at his own
jokes always spoils his stories. It is
the man with the mournful face whose
quips seem the merriest It Is an old
saying that one must "laugh and grow
fat" but modern science has learned
that we must "laugh and grow wise."—
