The Northern Pacific company, having

ready many settlers arg in sight, for the

A botch is the most useless creature in
existence. Botching in the various de.
partments of labor and in the professions
has probably been the cause Of more "un.
parliamentary Language" than any Other
agency under the san, the jointing Of

the botch And, In pursuance of this ad-
vice, call on Dahl Bros, Bismarck, for
a well-made, neatly-fltting suit.
Mandan Pioneer There is ono point or
which every newspaper man is sensitive,
and that is the way in which subscriber
orders the paper stopped. If the paper
| is not wanted or cannot be paid for any
longer, say so in straightforward way.
Don't write noto. send it through the
postoffice, and forget to pay you arrear
age. And. especially, don't bo guilty OF
the insult of refusing the paper at the
postoficc, leaving the postmaster to com
municatc with the publisher.
A level-headed exchange rises to remark
that when you hear man sneering at the
local papers because they are not as big
cheap and newsy as city papers, you car
| safely bet that he does not squander hit
wealth in assisting to make them better
and that generally the papers have done
more for him than he has for them. The
man who cannot see the benefit arising
to town and county from the newspapers
hasn't the sense of an oyster, and is about
rs much value to the community as ar
absentee trce-claim "fakir" or dclin
quent tax-list.

officers Of the road should establish a pea
nut stand at every station: "there's mill
