A Vision.

The editor dreamed the other night that
he was gathered to his fathers. He was
waited above at single watt. st. Peter
let him in at once. He received pair
OF wings and a jewsharp, and, as he
didn't understand the notes, the rules
were suspended and he was told that he
might play by ear He was given golden
crown and golden chair, the latter with
feather pillow in it. Then he said he
was from Dakota, and they gave him a
pair of felt boots and buffalo overceat,
and put ear-muffs on his crown. Pretty
soon number Of his delinquent subscrlb-
er hove in sight, borne aleng by short
and labored WATTS But st. Peter said
he couldn't let 'em in without q satisfac-
tory explanation. One gave as an excuse
that "he charged too much for his burned
old paper." why" said St. Peter ''he
charged only the regular Dakota price ;
and besides, If yeu had paid up he'd have
given you the North Dakota Farmer free. !"
He couldn't get in. All gave excuses and
all were refused. Finally one said. IF

The editor jumped for his brcechss to get
the change, and--fell out Of bed. Alas
that it was but dream

meet. Then with his right hand he pours
the liquid out of glass jar. Many Gus.
toners grasp the edge of the dish so ex-
pcrtly that they can fill it half-iuch
above the top. In one store we saw sew
eral gentlemen sitting around table.
Each enc held in his hand what seemed
to be pamphlet with the leaves spread
out which he was intently perusins We
thought it was the chamber of commerce.
As we went in they all laid down their
pamphlets, and one OF them, looking at
us, remarked, II have two pair" But
whether he meant two pairs of socks or
two pairs of undergarments we are of
course unable to state, and why he should
have volunteered this information to a
stranger surpasseth our understanding.
*x*
We noticed several Emmons County
people dealing at these stores. One, in
particular, had made many purchases.
We approached him with even mora than
our usual dignity and put forth the query:
"Honorcd sir, at what day and what hour
do you contemplate departing from this
beautiful city, to wend your way toward
the grand, glorious and magnificent baill-
wick Of Emmons7" Whercupon our
fellow-citizcn cuffed his hat over on one
side Of his head, closed his "gcc" eye,
and remarked in a sing.song tone Of
voice, eve won't go home till morning,
till daylight does appear" What he
meant by using the term "wc" is not
easily understood, as ho is neither an ed
itor nor king. His eve" could not
have referred to himself and the scribe, for
the latter was at the time about to depart.
A sane man, with a conclusion reached
OF tarrying until the morrow, would have
announced such determination in the first
person singular. Nor is a normal condi-
ton of sanity denoted by that portion of
the remark, "till morning, till daylight
does appear" for it was then daylight
and not late in tie forenoon. 1t is quite
evident that our friend is not in proper
mental condition, and he should be care.

The storm in New York.

ASS ~SoA IA AyA 4NSVV AOIAs
Dakota has had some pretty bad snow
storms in her day, but it seems that the
old Empire State sometimes gets bit of
snow as we'll, as IS shown by an Asso-
ciated Press dispatch of last week:
KINGSTON, N. Y, Feb. 14.-If half
the truth were told about the drifts in To-
calities in Sullivan county, the average
readers would say that the reporters had
been reading Baron Munchausen, and
had boen impressed by tho authors long
bow style. 1t is fact that people, in
stead of cutting away drifts between
their houses and the highways, dig tun-
nels, some of them over 100 feet in length,
and scores of people were compelled to
shevel steadily the greater part of the
week. For miles snow can be found four
feet deep on the level, and drifts thirty
to forty feet high are not uncommon. At
recent funeral Of Calicoon (Sullivan
county, woman the mourners spent over
two days in shoveling their way to the
cemetery, and one of the tunnels which
they made was thirty eight feet in length
and through drift twenty seven feet in
height. The mourners were assisted by
people all around the country. and finally
on the third day the body of the dead
woman was buried"
Either of two things is true There is
more snow in York State than this terri
tory has had in three winters put together,
or some hlgh-pressure Dakota Lyre" has
wandered into Sullivan county.

the mail was several days late, they ran

Minneapolis Journal: We hope that the
people Of the growing Northwest appre.
clate the work that is being done by their
local press in promoting the interests of
their various sections. The amount of
free advertising and sacrificing hard
work that is devoted by the northwestern
editors to this c0mmendable end can
hardly be cemprehended except by those
who are able, through the medium of ex-
changes, to glance over the whole field,
daily and weekly. Much is accomplished
that could be done in no other way, and
TOO often the editor has nothing but his
labor for his pains. The generous pat.

really costs but little to each citizen, and
