The senatorial situation is rapidly as
Stunning an interesting aspect. Not
merely because it is a senatorial situa-
ton, but because Of the astonishing
amount of senatorial timber which is
brought forth and presented for inspec-
ton. That North Dakota is full of sena-
torial timber no one attempts to deny;
and that this timber is being rounded
off and prepared for the strain soon to be
put upon it by the legislature everyone
will admit, also.
a merely casual inspection of the
Number of prospective senators Is as
tonishlng. Items in st. Paul journals
begin to look like the following:
PEEsoNAL-Mr. Quigley Jones of -,
N. d., is at the Ryan. Mr.. Jones, it is
learned, will be a candidate for the posi-
tlon OF United States senator. and has
plenty of substantial support. He is emf
nently qualified for the position.
Not to be outdone by this, another
North Dakotan journeys toward Mime
apolis, and remains in the city a day or
so, and a Minneapolis paper blosso -ns
forth as follows:
1t is learned from reliable sources that
the Hon. Ashbury Tentpole of -. N. D.,
who is stopping at the Nicollet, is one of
me most prominent candidates in the field
Tor the United States senatOrship from
North Dakota before the coming legisla-
ture. His qualifications and support are
such as to render him a formidable candi-
date.
And the bee in the ear of MI. Tent
pole has no soone stopped buzzing than
another United States senator is evolved
by some enterprising North Dakota
journal. The Wheatgrove Rustler will
say:
1t is our honest, unadulterated opinion
that the Hon. Barleycorn C%abbageleaf
should be supported by the Lonely Grove
delegation for the United States senate.
MI. Cabbageleaf has been justice OF the
peace in Lonely Grove for three years and
i would make a daisy senator. We shall
vote for Mr.. Cabbageleaf.
At about this juncture some SUSPECT
GUS editor will discover something which
is to happen, and spread himself thus:
II We have discovered from DR.. Quackum's
mandy almanac that a United States sena-
Z TOR Is to be elected from North Dakota at
the coming session OF the legislature. We
desire to suggest the name of our able and
efficient postmaster, Harrison jackson, for
the position. His long experience in
Uncle Sans service would qualify HIM for
the position. and he might be able to in
crease the Dead Valley mail service to tri-
monthly, instead Of monthly, as it now is.
If this excitement continues there will
be some badly bruised aspirations to be
purchased at a great discount after the
selection is made.

The chief authorities of towns in past
ages incurred much responsibility. At

liabilities. Here formerly, after the

his servants had taken proper precau.

make good the loss sustained. Each
householder paid an annual tax of two
pence if he had n door, and fourpence
if he had two doors to his dwelling, for
maintaining a watch over the city. The
tax has long since been discontinued,

Two Greatest of Stamp Collectors.
The two greatest stamp collectors in
the world were M. Philippe Ferrari, son
of the late Duchesse de Galliera, and the
car, whose collection is said by experts
to be worth 5000, 900 francs. He began
to, make it when he was czarowitz, and
has been adding to it ever since. M.
Ferrari, who cast away a fortune, or
rather several fortunes which he con-
ceived to be i'll gotten and said he had
no right to inherit, boards stamps as
misers hoard money. He has quantities,
which he says will be valuable to his
heirs should he live to a great age

The Titles of Books.

A book title, like u woman's face,
ought to BIZ pretty. And if a bewitch-
ing, diaphanous veil, in the shape of a
slight curiosity rousing cloudiness Of
meaning can be thrown over it, so much
the better. Readers delight to be half
taken in by books, just as men do by
women, so long-and this isa most i'm
portant proviso-so long as their vanity
is not piqued. The object Of a title
should be to seem simple, ~artless, naive
and quite naturally charming, but this
as in the case Of so many Of its. feminine
analogues-is often to be attained only
by the most consulnmate art.-Black-

Senator Little's Opinion.

To a st. Paul Pioneer Press repre-
sentative, Senator Little expresses him
self as follows on the senatorial situa-
ton:
"There is some question whether Senator
Casey will be reelected" said Senator
dozen or more Candidates in the field. and
each will receive some votes on the first
ballot. l think Senator Casey. and State
Senator Worst of EmmOns county will
lead. Senator Worst will have from twelve
to fifteen votes on the first ballot, and that
means q good support with SO many in
the field. Senator Casey will undoubtedly
be the strongest candidate on the first
ballot, but it IS difficult to predict what
will be the outcome. There will be a red
hot fight in the next legislature over the
senatorial election. and it may occupy
several weeks. The Independents viii

The snow fence crew of some twenty
five men struck this week for higher
wages, says the Alert. They were
getting S1.75 per day for ten hours work
and the company was willing to pay for
but nine hours, owing to the short days.
About all the men left, but few hands
have been secured in their places. There
is q large amount of snow fence repair

coo feet of lumber had been ordered for
that purpose. a snow fence at Edgeley

All of Of this work is Of q permanent
character. The wind annually causes q
great deal of repairing necessary to the

tunes await those who have the nerve
and hardihood to swing n pickax or

and desolate region. One OF the gen
tlemen is interested In a placer near
the Grand Wash, and he exhibits a
small vial filled with flaky PARTICLES OF
virgin gold, the result OF a days wash
on the claim. They all show fine
specimens Of ore obtained from the
hills, and they all predict that the
Henry Mountain District will have a
genuine boom with the approach oi
Spring. Lack OF timber anda meagre
water supply are serious drawbacks,
but a practical miner is full OF re-
sources, and little difficulties and trials
Of this kind are but a small TITLE in

Making PIay OF work.

In England a company has been
formed for the manufacture OF toys
which were formerly imported into
the country at the almost incredibly
large sum OF s., 700 900. When it was
learned that most OF the work OF man
u~iacturing the toys were accomplished
by little children, who enjoy their en-
ployment so much that they preferred
it to play, this company established
their mandatory in the midst OF a
crowded district OF Birmingham, and
advertised to teach children the work
free of cost. Soon the place was
packed with applicants and all those
who we're accommodated soon learned
the work, and were then allowed to
take it to their homes. Amid the re-
filming influence of home, hundreds Of
little hands are employed in delight
ful work. To encourage the children,
a prize is given to the child under IL
wears who constructs the best outfit
for the company's paper doll.-Chi-

House In n HnttIe.

Some years ago u blind boy residing
in Chicago constructed a miniature
house inside an ordinary four-ounce
bottle. The building was made up Of
forty pieces OF wood, all neatly fitted
and glued together. As wonderful as
this may seem. it is only a part Of the
wonders of this sightless lad. After
completing the house and giving it
the finishing touches" to his hearts
content, he set about fastening the
cork in this bottle, but how he accom-
plished the startling feat is a mystery
to this day. Inside the bottle, below
the neck, a small wooden peg extend
ing far enough on either side TO pre-
vent the cork being removed from the
bottle without the lower end being
town off. The boy himself is unable
to explain how he accomplished this
last and most astonishing piece OF
handiwork.-N. Y. Journal.
