ing, making the trip from Bismarck to
Deadwood;inIsnty hours. or less. The
contractors, Messrs Salisbury. Gilmer

Mr. Patrick, says they intend placing a

the Northwestern as soon IS stock can
De distributed. Whether this be done
or not Mr.. Patrick says the mail will be

be made from Bismarck in twelve hours

Learn, the v1aue OF Money"

A silver dollar represents days WORK
Of the laborer. Il is given to boy; he
has no idea of what it has cost or wha
it is worth. He would be as likely to
give dollar as dime for top or any
other toy. But if the boy has learned to
earn the dimes and dollars by the sweat
of his face he knows the difference. Hard
work is to him measure of values thai
can never be rubbed out of his mind. Let
him Learn by experience that hundred
dollars represents hundred weary days
labor and il seems great sum of money;
a thousand dollars IS fortune and ten
thousand is almost inconceivabIe, for it Is
t:~ more Than he ever expects to posses.
Wien he has earned dollar, he thinks
twice before he spends it He wants te
invest it so as to get the full value OF .
days work for it. 1t is great wrong to
society and to boy to bring him up to
mans estate without this knowledge. 4
fortune at twenty-oae without it IS al
most inevitably. Hunts Merchants
