the North Star State: Minnesota is cne
Of the best regions of the earth. Agri.
culturally it is one OF the jumping of
places. You jump off and light in the
midst of the sage bush OF the rainless
land. Half way across North Dakota
YOU are in the desert, where men gamble
with the Lord for water and win once IN
four or five years, and hang on with their
teeth, with the sheriff pulling at their
coat tails, for another four or five years.
Hold onto your lands. Hang onto your
land to the last. There are no more Min
nesotas on the planet; and every day the
battle of life will grow fiercer.

by the Morris Tribune: We learn from
gentleman whose veracfty is not to be
questioned, that County Attorney Flah-
erty, while at the Worlds Fair, very
naturally and from his constant associa-
ton with the legal fraternity and the
| officers of the law, always sought the po-
lice for information and advice. He
went up to policeman in one OF the
buildings and with much familiarity
slapped him on the shoulder and said:
sMy brother-in-law, so to speak, can you
inform me as to the most direct route to
the wild and woolly plaisance?" The
peeler never acknowledged having heard
the query, SO our townsman again es-
sayed to speak, and grasplng the limb of
the law, was about to repeat the ques-
ton, when one OF the custodians stepped
up and said: Glands off the wax work,
please" The figure was wax image.
