A gentleman of Hebrew descent, rather
Hashily dressed, wearing an immense

air of Chatham street pawnoroker, called
at the REGISTER Office day or two since.
and meeting reporter, accosted him as
follows:
Il subbose dis is der mhosd read baber

The reporter of course answered in the
affirmative, whereupon the man remarked;
Id is to Wheeling What de Sun is to Nj
Yorick"
Being assured that he was again correct
he poured forth the following
TALE OF WOE:

The display of aurora boreslis last ever

attention from the throngs of people on the
streets, who, however, had but poor OPP
portunity to observe ths real besuty OF the

Last Thursday two Williamsport ladies'
started for Winchester. Next day they
were to go to Livona or Glencoe, and Sat
urday to Bismarck, AS they were driving
Il very high-spiritcd animal, their friends
felt quitc.dublous as to whether they
would arrive safely at the Capital City.
But two Williamsport gentlemen who
came from Bismarck Saturday state that
at point near the Lawrence farm they
met, about 10 o'clock, what appeared in
the distance to be funeral procession.
AS the outfit approached nearer, how
ever, it proved to be the lady travellers.
The fiery beast seemed completely sub
duea, as the colt, which was grazing
along the roadside would come back every
once IN while and strive to hurry up
the caravan. The gentlemen report that
for several miles this side Of where they
saw the travellers, broken switches pur-
lolncd from some trec-claim were found
every few rods. The ladies probably
reached Bismarck by Sunday evening.

Not Well Taken.

We asked a young man the other day,
who was complaining OF the horrors Of
the housekeeping and farming combina-
ton, "Why don't you get married %
The reply was, "Tm too poor" Now, in
this new country, where the wife supply
is hardly equal to the demand, he mi ght
have said, '' can't find her = although
in this particular case we have reason to
believe he could find her without going
very far The "too-poor" excuse is an
exceedingly thin one. In a city, working
for wages, it might be valid ; but, with a
house of his own and a good farm, there
is no young man too poor to marry. The
excuse given implies that Il wife must of
necessity be an incumbrancc. This is un-
just to the sex; and is, moreover, in
most cases, the reverse of truth. There
isn't one woman in a hundred, on the
farm or anywhere else, but has better
maxims of economy, clearer Judgment
and more good, sound common sense
than the man whose name she bears Al
most without exception, the young man
who marrles is much better off, finan-
cially. within few years, than he would
have been had he possessed no one to give
him counsel and advice. Misguided youth,
your excuse ism. z.

At Actual Value.

Capt. Culver began on Monday last
his labors of assessment for this year.
We understand that the plan for this
year will be to assess property at full
value, and make lower rate of taxation.
The new plan is in accordance with the
suggestion of the territorial auditor. The
amount of taxation is, of course, the
same in both cases but the old plan
makes bad showing to persons outside
of the territory, who do not understand
Its nature. The figures show small
value in property and very high rate of
taxation. Such a showing, unless prop
erly explained and understood, would
certainly be no inducement for emigra-
ton to the territory New Rockford

A Troublesome BUSINESS.

We notice that those of our exchanges
whose editors pull in double harness ;lrc
hardly up to the standard of late, as to
quality Of original matter This is caused
ny inc hcn-setting season, now happily
drawing to a close. There must be some
thing in the atmosphere which makes the
average Dakota woman go rabid on
chickens. Questions such us How many
eggs ought [ to put under IL turkcy?'
what day did | set that white hemp
etc, propounded in Il firm but gentle
voice every half-hour, tend to distract a
writer's thoughts from the business in
hand and make Inn wish for Il more cX :
tended immigration hthcr Of the dark,
skinned sons of the Southland, to the
end that poultry raising might be made
more difficult and unproitablc
Therefore, if there seems to be IL touch
of dementla in the RECoRD's articles this
week, we ask our readers forbcarancc,
roost has been suddenly thrown upon our
shoulders. Early in the week the owner
OF the poultry started off on Il trip around
by Winchester, Livonil and Glencoe, to
Bismarck. We were given whole solid
nonparel column of Instructions as to
the manner of conducting the poultry
branch of the business. Particularly
were we warned regarding methods in
case that turkey hen wants to set" No
sooner had the owner got over the hill by
the Busscy place than the hen made up
her mind that here was as good an oppor
tunity as any to set (and at the same
time have some fun). This she proceeded
to do in the lawyers wood-piIe, on a
brickbat and bccr-bottle. 'Twasn't
the lawyers becr-bottlc, though. Ten
dcrly we transferred the aged bird to the
hcn-house, made her a neat, comfortable
nest, gave her two gallons of nice Here
ford hen eggs and our blessing, and de-
parted. But the ungratcful creature
scorned our careful attentions, followed
us back as far as the wOod-pile, and
again tackled the brick and the bottle.
Thus we transferred her several times
but it was no use. She seems to know
her own business, or thinks she does.
We were instructed to "sct her if she
wants to Set" That's all right We
know that Il heap Of good turkey power S
being wasted on that bottle. But we can't
help it. We don't know exactly what to
do now. Wonder what she'll hatch out
of the bottle?
Our advice to those who arc thinking
of cmbarking in the poultry business is,
Buy nothing but roostcrs. BOOSTERS, we
believe, as Il rule, don't set
