Some of our delinquents who are re-
ceiving notices that their arrearages
are in other hands for collection seem
to feel hurt about the matter to judge
from some OF the replys we receive.

notices that your subscription was un-
paid and all we want is what is honest
ly and justly due us.

There is girl in Denver. COL, who
is in pretty plight just now. She had
quarrel with her fellow last week and
he seized her and forced what she be-
lieves to be a lot of dynamite cartridges
down her throat. The girls landlady
drove her out the house, and her friends
are all forsaking her, fearful lest she
may embrace them and thus follow an
explosion fatal to both. Her assailant
has been arrested and held to await
the outcome Of his experiment. The
young lady should carefully avoid
walking on banana skins until the
dynamite is worked out of her sYstm.
A story comes from somewhere over
on the Puget Sound, a region fertile
for producing strange tales, of won
derful COW. 1t is asserted that she
habitually leaves the most tempting
mixtures of millfeed and confines her.
self to diet of hops, in consequence OF
which she gives generous messes of
beer instead of milk. 1t this story be
true-and who can deny it?-that COW
and hopyard would be worth for
tune. If the breed of beer-giving cows
can only be propagated, the fortunate
owner of the mother of such progeny
has fortune in this animal. and W e
may look to see every vacant town lot
in the Sound town converted into a
hopyard. This will start the greatest
boom ever seen on the Sound, and the
s'kids'' will be reverting to the old
''little brown jug" song paraphrased:
"IfIhad COW that gave such milk,
I'd dress her in the finest silk;
Ona bed Of hops she should softly lay,
And I'd milk her twenty times day."
And the demand from North Dakota
prohibitionists for the stock would be
so great that the breweries would be
forced out of business. We bespeak
one now for Editor Winship of the
Grand Forks Herald.
