The Norwegians of Dakota.

Some people estimate that the Nor
wegians constitute about one-third of
the population of Dakota, and that
they have pocketed about thirds
of the profits from the development
of this new country. They are
thrifty. Most of them come with
just enough to get on government
land and build a shack. Before they
had earned the homestead title they
were in comfortable circumstances.
and now they are loaning money to
less fortunate neighbors. One of the
largest millers ID the state is Nor
wegian-William @. Leistikow, OF
Grafton. The cashier of the Hills
boro National bank, A. l.. Hanson, is
a Norwegian. Akrehamson, the treas.
urer of Grand Forks county. and one
of the largest dry. goods dealers IN
the state, is Norwegian. The Tor.
relsons are we'll known to the Red
river valley as men who have money
of their own in the bank at all times
ready for. loans on good security
Every county has Norwegians who
are worth from $25,0O0 to $4,000, all
made since settling in Dakota. These
people live economically and work
hard for the first years, but they Am
ericanize with wonderful rapidity
and take to the comforts and luxuries
of life just as soon as they find them
selves ready to afford them. There
are no poorhOuses where the NOrWe
gians are thickest, and the jails are
mainly ornamental North Dakota
could i'll afford to spare the Norwe
gian population.

A French Dewspaper lately introduced novelty,
by asking Its woman readers to write ON the
advantages of being plain, and the Disadvantages
OF beauty. The discussion which resulted has
brought out the deliberate expression Of the
opinion on the part of celebrated man Of letters,
that 1t Is better for one to be homely than to be
handsome.
His reasoning is that one who IL without good
looks, seeks to make up for the lack Of them with
all the world by amiability, gentleness and
politeness, and 90 is liked by ALL while handsome
persons are apti to be vain of their looks, and,
confident that they make them quite independent
OF ordinary poiteness attract dislike by ssgiving
themselves airs"
AS to women, the same writer Is sure that the
plain one generally has, except beauty, everything
on their side-modesty, simplicity and confidence.

the Viscount Amberley, which Is to the point

improvements made in that town during the year
1885, giving the cost of EACH and the total amount

the state growing fast Stuttgart and its
growth Is due in the main to the judicious use of
printers ink. 1t IL situated on the Grand prairie
In Arkansas county, in a beautiful and healthy
place, around which the land IL very fine.
An advertisement was placed in THE ARKANsAw
TRAVELLER by the progressive citizens of this place
over year ago. offering an acre Of land near SUIT
CART to each new subscriber of the paper, who
desired It, This had the effect of attracting atten-
ton to the town, and, as is the case with all
Arkansas towns Of any public spirit, when people
came to investigate they were surprised and
pleased, and the growing little "Queen of the
Prairie" Ia the result. They have q bank, q real
estate exchange and numerous other prosperous
public institutions. The real estate exchange gave
an order last week for $3.50 worth of pamphlets

A gentleman of this city, while visiting in Ken

Stuttgart was what IL was represented, and his
answer was the means Of bringing q number of his
