The Fargo Boom.
Especial Telegram to the Globc.I

FARGO, D. T., April 1S.-This city, like
st Paul, is enjoying boom such as was
never known before and the only thing
that seems to trouble not only Fargo, but
all north Dakota towns, is what to do with
al the people. Our hotels and our streets
are crowded, and still they come by the
thousand. The Fargo & Southwestern,
running from here to Lisbon, is compelled
to run double trains to accommodate the
flood or tide of home seekers, while the
same may be said of the other branch
roads penetrating the interior of north
Dakota. Land hunters by TIE thousand
are pushing into the DEVILS lake country,
and it is estimated that there are now
about $4,000 squatUers in these unsurveyed
counties. Unless the lands are surveyed
soon, with the great rush in advance of
railroads now penetrating this country,
there is sure to be more or less trouble
among the settlers and claim jumpers.
There will be no trouble in the Red river

the young corn looks thrifty and the cotton
crop will soon be planted, as much land
has already been prepared for it. A All this
leads to look for another good crop year in
1888.
The complaint brought by thoughtful
young men against the delicate health of
American women is much more worthy of
respect and of serious consideration. With
the increasing practice in out door games
and persistence in outdoor exercise, and,
above all, with the knowledge of the laws
which govern health impaired by such an
admirable book as Hygiene for Girls,''
our maidens will surely grow stronger, and
the millennium mentioned by Miss Mulock
when girl will be as much ashamed of
having dyspepsia as she would be of any
other crime, will rapidly approach and
bless theworld.
A religious contemporary speaking of
a book of sermons remarks: "It is fair to
say OF the book that it contains
much that is right and much that
is wrong. Whether the wrong is not
greater than the right is hardly to be
determining the preponderance OF one
over the other" And what difference does
it make whether or not there are scales to
weigh wrong or right in? If a book has
error in it, moral poison, it is of no avail
to say there is much that is true in it.
According to this critic, if a book has
more truth than lies in it, it is a good
book. If it has any lies in it, it is a bad
book.
The following is said to be a model
Georgia love letter: DEAREST BENNY
love is stronger than the smell of coffee,
patent butter or the kick of young COW.
Sensations of exquisite JOY go through
me like cohorts of ants through en- army
cracker, and caper over my hearts like
young goats on stable roof. feel as if
1 could lift myself by my boot straps to
the height of a church steeple, or like an
old stage horse in a green pasture. As the
mean pup bankers after sweet milk so do
I banker after your presence, and as
gosling swimmeth in the mud puddle SO do
l swim in sea of delightfulnesS when you
are near me. My heart flaps up and down
like a churn dasher and my eyes stand
open like cellar doors in country town.
and if my love is not reciprocated I will
pine away and die like poisoned bed
bug, and you can come and catch cold on
my grave.
The typically frugal farmer appears to

himself out of sight of his house. The
gentleman refined up, and the farmer &C.
costed him with the remark: "Mr. -,
can you change bill for me? My women
want to go into town shopping, and if 1
give them this bill they will spend every
cent of it." The gentleman, with visions
of bank note of large denomination be-
fore his eyes, expressed his doubts of be-
ing able to render the required accommo-
dation. However, when the farmer pro-
duced the bill AND showed that it was of
the denomination of 81, and said be wanted
to give the women fifty cents, the gentle
mans fears vanished, and he changed the
bill and drove away smiling to himself
audibly.
