North Dakota is the only spot on
this planet where poor man can go
and get farm, stock it, wi ithout
money and without price, and pay
off all his Indebtedness and get a
clear title to his land with the pro-
ceeds of the first years crop.
There are still thousands of virgin
acres, standing in blushing silence,
only waiting seductive music of the
mower and binder, to trip blithly
forth to their places in the harvest
dance. There is the place for the
poor man to secure home; for cap
ital to secure profitable investment;
for the invalid to regain his health;
for the traveller to see the grandest
country on the footstool, and the
hardy North Dakota farmer chases
his dog up tree with a pitchfork
for barking at stranger.-M. M.

It seems that it is hard for a GER
tain class of politicians to choke
down the ennui caused by the cleo
ton of Hansbrough to the United
States senate. "A few days ago the
Argus contained lengthy dispatch
in which Jud LaMoure was quoted
as saying that a gigantic scheme
was being worked up to turn the state
over to the democrats in 1892. Fol-
lowing this theory, one S. T. Satter-
waite in the Fargo Argus shoots off
his basoo and says in an article in
which he states that the first fruits of
this great scheme was the election of
Hansbrough. This assertion is both
groundless and childish and IS the
mutterings of disgruntled person
who was disappointed in the late SEN
atorial campaign-he is probably
retired candidate for the Fargo post
office. 1t has been clearly proven by
both democrats and republicans that
Mr.. Hansbrough was elected as
clean republican without pledges
derogatory to the party he represents
and all assertions to the contrary are
simply nonsensical. While there may
be some such deal in progress the
election Of Hansbrough has nothing
whatever to do with it, and is great
deal easier to talk of turning the state
over to the democracy than it is to
do it. Luckily our legislature passed
the Australian election law and the
voter will not be hauled up to the
poll box by the button-hole next trip.
It will be fair test between the two
parties next election. Whiskey and
boodleism have received a knock
out.

Those members Of the late legisla-
ture who received checks from the
whiskey element to vote for resub-
mission, feel like leaving the country
between two days. 1t now turns on,
that the checks were dated one day
ahead or one day after the vote was
taken. After the defeat of resubmis-
sion the makers and signers of the
checks went to the banks and stopped
payment of the same. The solons
who sold out their constituencies and
accepted these checks naturally feel
little uncomfortable.

Governor Burke has signed all the
bills passed by the late legislature
with the exception of three, and out
of the three vetoed one was uncen

did not think it was good measure.

The Figure Nine.

For one hundred and ten years to
come, no man, woman or child will write
the current date without using the fig
ure 9; for nineteen years during that Pc
riod two 9's must be written-in 1899,
1909. 1919, 1929, 1889, 1949, 1859, 1869,
1879, 1889, 1890, 1891, 1892, 1898, 1894,
1895. 1896, 1897. 1898; and for one year
1989-three 9's will have to be set down.
OF the people now living, it is safe to say
that no one will ever write the date of
his or her own time without using a o.
Besides minding their p's and q's, the
next three generations must give par
ticular heed to their 9's. Nine has never
been regarded as a particularly lucky
number, but beyond question the years
in which it will hold so conspicuous q
place will bring benefits Of undreamed
value to the world. New York Tribune.

The Orchid Craze.

Orchids are spreading all over the
world in these days, and we may expect
to hear Of other instances where spe-
cies has taken root in alien climes, like
r. coccinea in Brazil. I cannot cite q
parallel at present. But Mr.. Sander in
forms me that there is growing de-
mand for these plants in realms which
have their own native orchids. Among
customers who write to him directly are
magnates of China and Siam, an Indian,
and Javanese rajah. Orders are re-
ceived-not unimportant nor infrequent
from merchants at Calcutta, Singa-
pore, Hong Kong, Rio de Janeiro, and
smaller places of course. It is vastly
droll to hear that some of these gentle
men import species at great expense
which an intelligent coolie could gather
for them in any quantity within few
furlongs Of their godown. But for the
most part they demand foreigners

expansive, guileless smile. After leaving
the train William bought fifteen cent
dinner, and then found himself Penniless
and alone in strange city.
But William was not dismayed. He
trudged along Milwaukee avenue. gazing
at the sights and attracting no smalldegree
of attention himself He stopped to look
in the window of George Toborg's gun
store Then he grinned more broadly than
ever and entered the store.
He priced several reviewers and finally
selected a large double action one and said
he'd take ii. He also said he would take a
box of cartridges, and started to load the
weapon.
The proprietor anxiously interfered and
offered to do the loading himself, fearful
that this guileless country lad did not
know how. Then Mr.. Toborg explained
how the weapon worked and handed it
back to William with a -four dollars,
nlease.n smile, which made William grin
broader than ever
Hand over yer cash, mister" said Will
lam, still smiling, and leveling the loaded
revolver at the proprietor's head.
He threw up his hands and gasped,
.sMurderl mnrderF' and fell, rather than
ran. the whole length of the store and out
of doors. There he found Officers Dietz
and Rossiter.
The two officers, with dark lanterns and
cooked revolvers, searched the rear Of the
store for the guileless William, and then
croped their way down to the basement
William was behind post, revolver in
hand. He received the officers with his
babitual grin, and threw up his hands, re-
marking:
"Well I'll be gosh derned"
William is lodging at the Rawson street
police station, where he has already become
a great favorite. lie has eonilded to his
new found friends that he thought it would
be an easy matter to replenish his pocket
book in Chicago by holding up people. He
said he was down TO Omaha couple Of
