WATCH THE OFFICE SEEKER.

'ine coming six months will be the
most Important to all Dakotians that
they have experienced. The vote upon
prohibition, the election Of judges,
state officers and congressman all in
so short time brings with it an unu-
sual responsibility Office seekers
from all ranks in life not accepting
the farmer, Will be as thick as toads
after a shower, with this difference
that the so-called farmer Office seeker
is usually aquasi farmer who does his
farm work by substitute. Sometimes
a retired or busted professional or busi-
ness man, whose ca!louses are not on
his hands. There is another differ
ence; the Office seeking professional or
business man, Or mechanic does not
denounce the farmers and say they
should not hold office. but the office
seeking farmer delounces all others
and holds that farmers should hold all
the Offices That means nine times out
Of ten that he wants Office, and is put

from the st. Paul Office, he might make
his statements little more in accord

he says that the constitutional conven-

the 4th is the third, when in fact it is
the fourth: The first at Huron in 1882
instead of SO, the second at Sioux Falls
in Oct. of 1883, and the third in June of
1855. while the one of July 1855 is the
fourth and last but not least he gives

FARM ITEMS.
Remedy for Cabbage Worms.

The green cabbage worm is ii
troublesome pest almost everywhere
chat cablages are grown. 1t is the
caterpillar of a small, white butterfly
With black spots on its wings. These
may be seen flying over the cabbage
fields in great numbers all through the
summer, depositiag their eggs on every
plant. TO keep the worms at all in
check requires the almost continuous
application Of some strong insectitude.
The trouble may be greatly lessened
by poisoning as many of the butter
flies as possible. To do this attach
artificial flowers to the top Of stick
eighteen to twenty inches long, and
cover the flowers with arsenic mixed
with sugar. or with sweet paste Of
any sort Put these sticks into the
ground at frequent intervals through
out the field; the butterflies will be
attracted to the flowers, and will get
enough Of the poison to give them an
efTectual qEietus. Besides the saving
of labor, this is Il mucEl better method
tha to risk the too frequent application
of strong insecticides to The plants.
y Arsenical poison should never be ap-
piled after the plants have begun to
head. James Is. Reeve, Ohio, in
American Arrlculturist.

We confess to having had some

TRAVELLING ANNOYANCES.
Trouble One has with British Custom
House Officials.

Correspondence New York Mail Express
On the journey from Strasburg to Paris the
man who travels with many trunks has to en-
counter great obstacles. At Aven-court the
French customs officials examine the luggage
and each individual article is picked up, felt of,
squeezed, pushed, and if at all suspicious
opened. But it is in England after all that the
greatest difficulties beset the traveller. At
Dover, where one crosses the Channel from
Calais, a half hundred customs officials are on
hand upon the arrival of each boat and there
all the hand baggage is carefully examined.
If your trunk is checked through to London it
will not be opened until you reach the station,
and there one experiences more ANNOYANCE
than In any other part of Europe. / asked
very intelligent looking porter. to whom gave
the checks for my trunks, why the English Off
clals make SO thorough an inspection of travel
ers luggage. He replied in amysterious whis-
per: 1T is all on account of dynamite You
will hardly believe it, sir, that there is a dozen
English detectives in this depot, and every
piece Of luggage that comes through here is
carefully inspected"
But there Is no danger of dynamite" said.
that Is only a scare"
You would not think So" he answered. eff
you could see the way trunks and bags are
pulled apart here, and how every bag, no mat
ter how small, is carefully opened and scanned
for mysterious explosives"
HAS any dynamite besn found in passenpers'
baggage?" l ventured to ask
That cannot say he replied "If it was
we porters would not know Of it; but / know
that is what the inspectors are on the watch
for"
81 had reason to remember the porter's words,
for it took me quite an hour to get NV trunks
passed and then only after each article was
taken out of the trunk and carefully scrutinized.
But there is one thing that can be said in favor
OF the English customs officials, they are not
brlbable, at least / have not found any Who
were. They do their work ctnscientiousiv and
thoroughly. A handful of coin to a porter and
another handful to French or Belgian officer
means the passing of your trunk almost with
out looking at it. The German officials are
strict, and do their duty well, but the English
alertness

We saw recently little squad dawdling along

amazement, they stiffened up like ramrods.

the occasion of the whole excitement. The
same awe of their superiors runs through the
entire German army. A common soldier hay-
ing his boots blacked will instantly stand aside
before the operation is completed, as a corpo-
raj steps up. He, in turn. gives place to an
officer, and in a few minutes three of these
accommodating individuals are standing in a
row, bolt upright, with their trousers turned
up and each one with boot blacked. When the
fourth has been served he passes along with
dignity, and each of the other three takes his
turn IN regular order, until the common soldier

sort OF market he had made, replied: mot so
good as expected and thought shouldnt'').
A third is from leading article in the same

he would go to sleep upon it." I once heard
