KNEW THE TROOPERS.
The Southern Landlord Had Heard oi
 "Them Feilers'' Before.

The Southern Landlord Had Heard of
 "Them FeiIers" Before.
 Here is another advance agent story which is amusing, if true
 The agent entered the office of a one-horse hotel in ''runt" town down south, and presenting his card asked how many the hostelry could accommo- date, says The Stage.
 The landlord looked at the pasteboard scrutinizingly, and after a painful pause asked: ''wot kind O troopers be thcy?"
 ''Minstrels."
 ''Meen-strels, eh! An may I make so bold as to ax wot kind of a troop them be? Wot's their line O foolin', an how many on 'em is ther?"
 Didn't you ever hear of minstrels, my dear sir? Elegant first part, sitting around in semicircle on red plush chairs, orchestra on an elevation in the background, all of 'em blacked up and covered with diamonds, singing funny songs, etc"
 ''Oh. that's what meenstrels is, eh?" as his face lighted up. i've seen 'em afore. All right, I can take lem. John.' shouting to the hotel factotem across the room, there's another lot of them ere blackened troopers a comin', so guess you'd better go and cook up some O them stopper corks."

That Bisbee Bug.

We venture the ass~rtion that the "Smart Ellick," who s.sumes to bs wise above that which is written, ~ho made that ungentlemanly reflection on one of the lady teachers who got . certificate at the recent examination, cannot get as good grade e the one to whom reference was made. We venture smother assertion that the pussy dude never was invited until recently to write for . respectable paper, and some of us are very sorry our paper is 60 much lowered by such contributors.
 What in the world is the matter with the young dude, anywsyf Did he think some one ought to fail and his pet get . certiicstef Wonder if he does not want to be Jn the schOol board.
 We want right here to make q sug- ge-tion Don't you think the county board of examiners should act as \ committee to correct the grammatical errors in your articlesi They offer their services inst to save the reputs- tion of our paper. Just lock at his arriclei He attacks the territorial board. the county board, some of the the teachers, and we suppose in the next outbreak he will serve an evic- ion notice on God Almighty. and ask him to vscate this universe. and let him. the bug-a hoo. run it. Wouldn't the little thing look funny trying to run the ragged end of . hen roo.t when he cannot even manage . little school. A h'tle hoy once prayed: 70. Lord, have mercy on us little
 scholars:
 I've hired a fool to teach our school,
 and pay him fifty dollara."

ON LOVE AND WOMEN.

HE best husband and the best wife are the best company all the time.
 Cop is good indeed to him whose first love lasts through and fills all his life.
 THE woman at thirty wonders why st twenty she married the man she did.
 LOVE is fire, but you have to keep putting fresh chips on it to keep it going. If you don't, somebody else will. Peter Robinson.

The Farmer and Politics.

The prosperity of |, farmer to-day depends more on the methods he em- ploys than on governmental rule. Take eeeds for example: Many fsrn- CTS who are alive to their own i'm erests ID other things are careless in buying seeds. They seep to think that . -eed is . seed and there it ends. II there was mere knowledge about seed- and greater care exercised in their se- lection, there would be richer crops and better returns.
 Realizing this, D. M Ferry & Co, the famous seeH firm of Deiait, Mich, have embodied in their Illustrated Annual for 1893. much valuable in. formstion sb 'us seeds and their srlec- tion. It contains the knowledge gle.ned firm many years practical "x- p~rience in the seed business, and the newest and best things about gardens and gardening. Such . book I-sued hy . firm of unquesiionei reliability is of She highest value to every one who plants . sed. Although the cost of printing and emhe'li-hing it with beautiful Illustrations has been great it is sent free to anyone making appl,. cation to the above firm.

in the state, there being from half q
dozen to a score of candidates for every
Office from lieutenant governor down.
There are several contesting delegates.
It was rumored last night that the
Burke opposition would not bring out
Allen for governor, but would spring a
dark horse, probably George II. Walsh,
of Grand Forks. There is much caucus
ing going ON. The general opinion is
that Burke will again head the ticket for
governor and Allen for lieutenant gov
ernOr Johnson viii be re-nominated
for Congress. Hamilton, of Grand Forks
viii be put up for secretary Of state.
The rest of the ticket cannot be pre- O.
dicted to any certainty. If the Burke
forces are in the majority aud Allan car
riers the fight into the convention, it is
thought he will not any office, and Rail
road Commissioner Walsh will also be
deposed. Helgeson viii make fight for
JOhnsOn's IS seat
