THE PONY KNEW HIS BUSINESS.
An Idaho Man Takes Large Amount o
Cash on an ODD Bet.

An Idaho VI an Takes a Large Amount OF
Cash ON an Odd Bet.
DIR, Miller, of Idaho, is the possessor
of $4,000 IN cash and a farm worth a
thousand or two more, which he did not
have prior to O'Clock one afternoon re-
Gently. He won it all from local sports
who picked b m up for a sucker. The
doctor arrived here few days ago with a
drove of ponies which he offered for sale
at low prices.
Among them was a little beast that no.
body would bid on at ali. The doctor re-
marked casually In crowd that the pony
which the buyers rejected was the boss of
the lot, for he could pull 300 pound bag
of sand attached to rope half a mile long
for a distance of ten feet He added
carelessy that he would bet on it. A
dozen men took him up, and in less than
no time about s1O,0 900 IN money and 100
acres Of land In Iowa were wagered that
the pony could not do the trick.
The sports were so sure that they gave
odds, AMI the doctor calmly covered every
BET. The trial took place some hours later
out On a turnpike In the presence Of a
considerable crowd. The sack OF sand
was weighed and the rope carefully meas
ured. Then the doctor, accompanied by
one of the judges, TOOK the pony to the
other end OF the line and hitcned HIM to
the rope. the little animal moved off
with gradual pull until the rope be-
came taut and dragged the bag twenty
i've feet. The gradual pull was the secret
OF the feat, and the pony had often per-
formed it befcre.-LouisvIlie Courier

THERE IS little fear that the succession

male heirs in sight, the Prince of Wales
and his son George, while there are also
the two daughters of the prince in the
direct line Even if the Wales family all
died, the succession would PASS through
the Dake Of Edinburgh and his children

four oarg hters and the latter one son ard

Rasmussen Talks.

Pioneer Press: Nels P. Rasmussen,
also known as "Northern Pacific" Ras-
mussen of Valley City, N. D., one Of the
independent railroad commissioners re-
Gently elected in that state, is at the
Merchants. MI. Rasmussen thinks that
the duties of his new office will not be
at all arduous, for in his opinion the
railroad commission Of North Dakota
has very little power. He has not yet
had a conference with the other men,
bers of the commission. On Dec. 6 the
newly elected state officers will have a
celebration at Bismarck. Speaking of
the North Dakota s%enatorship, Mr.. Ras-
mussen said that John Benton of Fargo,
will be a strong candidate in the indie
pendents' caucus for the nomination.
The latest intelligence from North
Dakota gives the republicans two cleo
tors and the independents one.

PartiZan, or NOn-Partizan?

EDITOR TRIBUNE: If the demonstra-
ton advertised to take place at Bismarck,
December 9Th, is to be a partizan cele-
bration it should be so stated. It would
be a contemplate trick to pretend it
would be a non-partizan reception, and
republicans invited to JON, then find it
a j%ollification meeting of independents
and democrats. Imagine a non-partizan
reception at which some pompous igno-
anu would bob up-clasp his hands
over his bay window of gas and address
those gathered together as fellow demo-
Gratis, and proceed to give the history Of
that party for 100 years. Toimagine such
an exhibition Is bad enough, and to
prevent it-notice should be given by
those having charge of the details, to
the public, just what the demonstration
is to be, and then no kick will follow.
Republicans will, as citizens of the
state, and of Bismarck, join in extend
ing a reception to the governor-elect as
the chief executive. But will not join
in hat swinging and cheering in a parti.
zan movement. REPUBLICAN.
