feeble comprehension ofthe nalady from

One grievance seems to be
an alleged attempt TO appropri.

it is implied in the preamble that there
is much suffering among the people Of
the north because they we're not invited
to the Sioux Falls party. The Fargo
meeting appears to have been very
harmless affair throughout. In conclu-
sion it appointed committee consisting
of W. II. Francis Of Burleigh, W. F.

A Sully county paper comes to the

tion to make state of southern Dakota.
1t says:
If one state can force its way into the
union, it seems rather peculiar to us that
ten states did not succeed in forcing their
way out of it.
Life is full of strange and startling
episodes, and the callow youth who
penned the foregoing, if he sticks to his
Sully county claim, will have occasion,
in the sweet by and by, to reflect upon
the difference between the going out OF
ten states and the coming in of one.

The Boy.

Why is it that the "human boy"

years, so dotes upon noise? What
wondrous inner mechanism of the male
sex can it be which receives as sweet
perfume the odors of gunpowder, and
tindsJtender and satisfying sustenance

of power which so captivates them,
For it is only an explosive sound which
is capable of inspiring to the uttermost
the rejoicing soul of the dominant sex.
The sound of the AK, the shrek of the
handsaw, even the gentle click of the
hoe, never awakens such thrill in the
boyish soul that you can not separate
him from them, without tearing the boy
in two; but let ire-engine dash down

Warm bath We're resorted to oftener in

ordered the hot water ready, and said
it was all right. just as she was going
to put the child in said: Put your

so and found it altogether too hot. In

as it otherwise could. The professor be-
lieves that it is better to place salt where
