A "Rustler" In Dakota.

Bismarck has a .'boomer. He is
hired by the Chamber of Commerce, at
a good salary, to ride upon the trains
east of Fargo and talk to emigrants
about the advantages of settling near
the Banner City. In Il word. he is 4
drummer for his town. When l was
there he had not started, upon his mis-
sion. and found him blowing field
for oats on the only farm within sight
of the town. He was member of the
Territorial Legislature, he said. and he
demonstrated his capacity for the bust
ness of booming by fifteen minutes of
intelligent conversation on the capacity
of the soil of Burleigh County and its
attractions to people who by the pillow
would thrive. He was evidently what
they call in Dakota "rustler." To
say that a man is rustler is the highest
Endorsement Dakotan can give. 1t
means that he is pushing, energetic.
smart and successful. The word and
its derivations have many shades of
meaning, To rustic around is to bestir
ones self in business way. .What
are YOU going to do in Mandan?" asked
one man of another in Bismarck sa-
loon. "Oh, I'll rustic around and pick
mp something" which meant that he
weuld look about for a good business
opening. Hustle the things off that
table, means clear the table in a hurry.
To do a rustling business is to carry on
an active trade. The word was coined
bv the Montana herdsmen to describe
the action of cattle brushing the snow
from the roots of the bunch-grass with
their oses.-CeHtary Magazine.

The Newer Arithmetic.

A member of the Common Council

men thirst for his blood?
A tramp hires out to a farmer for four
teen dollars per month. He gets boss
dinner, works an hour and skips. Count
ing the dinner worth thirty GEMS how
much did he make? Counting the three
bites he got from the farmers dog at
twenty-five cents each how Afuch did he
lose?
A citizen who thinks it woi,!d be nice
to have fresh eggs every dav buys thir-
teen fowls at sixty cents each; lumber to
the amount of Sl2; hires man for 50 to
build park and in three months pays
out 81. 20 for feed. In The twelve weeks
he gets four dozen eggs and loses five
hens by death and mysterious disappear
ance. How much have his eggs cost him
per dozen?
A father pays $500 to educate his

is working on a salary of SlI per week.
How much will she save by doing
her own kitchen work for five years.

A druggist mixes two ounces of water
and three cents worth of powder to-

how much does he lose? It's curious,
but druggists lose money Just that way.
