people:
Have YOU read In the Fargo Forum
About our prosperous city?
OF its happy homes here charming wives
Preside SO sweet and pretty?
We hear of cities "painted red''
Not SO our quiet town,
In color ills almost wholly Grey
With just a shade of Brown.
Here are Parsons nearly half score
And this Is a truthful story.
The Baptists have most Hardy ono,
The MethOdists almost Glory.
We have a hotel that is very Shure
To please its patrons well.
And Potter who has lovely wares
OF lace and ribbon to sell.
Some Of our Berry's are fine and large
And some are small. but good.
They flourish well in Dakota soil
As Bill-berry bushes should.
One of our merchants is Cook
And he is we'll recommended
For handling sugar, salt and spice
His patrons are we'll attended
We have another across the street
And quite u Sturr he's made
In our merpantile world for tho It's small
Our goods are A No. grade.
We have no Smiths of silver ana gold,
But a black one, Ben by name.
We are honored by one Of Dickens sons.
And Warner Of "Safe Cure'' fame(?)
We have popular Banker, too,
And he In his quiet way
Dspenses drugs and the y. S. mail
With "Albert's'' help each day.
We have "earnest work er5'' and socials and aids
And a w. c. r. U.
And Masons who always give the grip
And welcome to brothers true.
We had d saloon, but the temperance folks
Brought all their guns to bear
On the liquor curse-and so to day
Our saloon is out OF repair.
There's good will here and help Ing hands,
And friends and nelghhors kind
Aud PngG Is Il prosperous thriving town

"A very heavy rain visited this section Tues
day night. Such rains do no hurt now, but
rather good, making tile wheat jump up at an
amazing rate. The wheat in this section is
fairly boomibg, growing at the rate Of two
inches per day. The grass on the prairies is
fine, making excellent pasturage for stock.
North Dakota is surely in it this year to as
great an extent as last. The mosquito crop
was never known to be better even by the "old-
est inhabitant"

His Sxveethenrt's Hair.

A decidedly unique method of carry
ing on correspondence with a French
thief was adopted by his friends while he
awaited trial. One day the jailer was
visited by the prisoners betrothed, who
asked him to give her lover an envelope.
This, upon being opened, was found to
contain simply a small lock of hair,
around which was folded leaf of
book. The jailer did not consider it
worth his while to deliver this souvenir
to the culprit and therefore threw it
aside. A day or two later similar in
closure was handed in at the prison gate
and shared the fate of the predecessor.
In the course of a week another was left
by the same person. This aroused the
suspicion of the governor of the prison,
to whom had been detailed the circum-
stances. He determined to investigate
the matter, and accordingly first exam
ined the printed leaf. This he found was
torn from a novel and contained twenty
six lines on each side. He next turned
his attention to the hair and discovered
that there were twenty-six pieces of un-
equal length. This puzzled him for n

must be some connection between the
numbers of the printed lines and tho
number of hairs, he laid each of the lat
;er along the line of the page they re-
'pectively reached, beginning with the
shortest hair at the top of the leaf AZ
:er changing them about several times
ne discovered that each hair poinlel to n
different letter, and the combination thus
produced formed slang sentence, by
means of which the prisoner was given

certained the day on which he was to he
taken to court and were determined to
make bold attempt to rescue him as
soon as he made his appearance. TAX
ing the cue, the governor adopted every
prccaution to Illustrate the well-laid plans
of the outsiders; the attempt was made
and, as natural consequence, the con-
spirators soon found themselves in the
same condition as the one for whom they
had planned the rescue.

"We had been married nearly two
years." said a citizen in conversation,
"before my wife and quarreled. Then
it was over the most trivial matter in tho
world, the upsetting of salt cellar.
But isn't there a superstition about
thatI" asked his friend:
THAT was what we quarreled about
the superstition, not the salt, She re-
marked as tipped it over, quite by acci-
dent that it foretold a quarrel. l dare
say that was little nettled at my awk-
wardness, and retorted rather sharply
that supposed she had too much good
sense to believe in superstition She
said the superstition, as l called it, had
been accepted by greater minds than hers,
and called me to account for sneering at
established beliefs. Well, we had it hot
and heavy, hammer and. tongs style, and
slammed out Of the house without a
kiss or goodby word"
"But you made up again?"
"Yes. When came home that even
ing saw she had been crying. looked
at her a moment and then, well, we
kissed and made up after the most ap-
proved fashion. And now" he continued
refiectively, Il have come to believe in
old superstitions myself. have made a
study of them and find that these old
saws were the result-not of ignorance,
but of observation"

sketches Of him it is said that le was horn
in Tennessee about the time that Je!fnr-

tered the navy at the age of eI'v"n. and
particip tied in the war of l%i2. wli,'h
teruinated when he was less than four
teen years of age. He saw active service
in the NJ Aican War. and during the war
between the States he did as much to
crush the South as Grant, or Sherman,
or Thomas. He died in 1870. as he had
lived, the head of the navy.
There is tradition in the navy, how
ever, that Farrasut was not a Tennes-
9can. The story is one that people love
to believe whether it be history or ro-
nance. 1t is told in the gunroom, and
believed in the forecastle, that Farragut
was the natural son Of old Dave Porter,
who fought Tripoli at the beginning of
The century, and that his mother was
native of one of the Mediterranean isles
IA Greek, perhaps; may be a Corscan,
or Sicilian; possibly a Turk, or an
Arab. Tom Marshall used to begin that
eloquent and original lecture of his ON
Napoleon Bonaparte by saying that
lie had no doubt that could the truth be
ascertained it would be established that
the Corsican demi-god was direct
lineal descendent Of a son Of Julius
Cesar, begotten when the future worlds
master was prisoner in the hands of pi-
rates in the Mediterranean isles. And if
oNtu tAlSJeIlCe 10 Iu6
mother navy gossip assigns him, we can
easily believe that some ancestors of his
were by the side of Regulus when ho
swept from the seas Carthagenian navies;
that another ancestor of his was in tho
fleets of Don John, of Austria, and
foughtat Lepanto; that others yet Of his
blood fought with the Barbarossas and
the Doras, making the azure waters of
those classic seas crimson with the blood
Of heroic battle. If the tradition of the
navy as to Farraguts parentage be true,
it only bears out what Shakespeare said
upon the subject in classic language in
several of his plays, notably in Lear.
We find the children of the house of
Stuart by the fright hand" imbeciles,
while those of the "left hand" nobility
the Duke Of Berwick, were heroes. The
same may be said of the dec ndents of
Henry of Navarro. A chapter on the
natural sou among the worlds great men
would be interesting and surprising his
