not only endurable but enjoyable. We
think this an opportune time to say that
in our opinion there ls scarcely quarter
section Of land east of the Missouri river
where q good, honest living cannot be
made with the proper energy and fore
thought. We do not say that wheat rails
ing will do it, but we say it can be done
by raising little Of everything, as every
farmer should do under all circumstances.
We want it knowE far and wide that the
homes are not yet all taken. Many re.
main just as good as those selected, and
North Dakota welcomes the industrious
and frugal of every land and state, and in
vites them to come and occupy them.
Mr.. ]. L. Boutlllisr had lively run-
away, last Monday, on his way over to
Livona with the mail. By some means
his horses birdie pulled off and the ani-
NAL "lit out" John staid In the buggy
until the outfit attained speed Of about
a mile 4 minute, when he jumped out,
but did not injurs himself in any way.
The horse ran until hs saw herd of his
kind grazing on the prairie, when he
veersd off and Joined them. Mr.. B. fol-
lowed and caught him while he was
among the horses Of the herd. Not
even strap Or buckle was injured. j.
L. says 1t was the liveliest runaway he
ever saw where not q cents worth of
damage was done.
There have been obtained, says o
French writer. chickens Matched from
eggs kept for two years in varnish. This,
he states, may be thus prepared: Dis
solve some gum lake In a sufficient guam
tity Of alcohol 10 make slight glaze;
put it On each egg, and, when all the eggs
are completely dry, pack them in bran or
wood sawdust. taking care to place the
large end upward. and preventing them
from damage or rolling about. When
the eggs are wanted, carefully remove
the glaze with some alcohol, and they will
be found in tho same state as they were
when fresh-that Is to say, good to be
| eaten or to be hatched. This method is
| said to be the best and surest that has
yet been tried.
Col. Tuller: I think that, in Attorney
General Standish's letter regarding Octo-
pus' insinuations as printed IN the Fo-
rum, his exceptions to the same are
we'll taken. 1t is enough to make an
ordinary man very tired" to read an
effort to bolster up the administration of
Governor shortridgs and endeavor to
make martyr of him. The facts are
that the governor has persistsntly vic.
lated the law and the orders Of the state
courts. If there is any one the people
respect at all connected with the late
pop" administration that man Is Genera
| Standish. He has been sincere in all hi.
actions pertaining to the welfare Of the
state and he has acted on his own convic.
tions Of what he thought was right.
Grand Forks Herald: Gen. Sckles, Of
New York, is one of the few democrats in
the house who has brilliant Union army
record, and almost the only democrat
who has had the courage to openly an.
tagonize the pension policy Of this ad
| ministration. His latest remarks, made
just previous to the passing Of the pen
sion appropriation bill by the house. are
| alike creditable to him and to every cx
Union soldier. He said: Il want to say
| right here to-day, for 1t may be the last
| opportunity shall have to say 1t here, in
vindlcation of my comrades, that that
| roll of a million names, with so few in
stances of fraud, is monument of honor
to American soldiers only less worthy,
only less admirable, than the heroic SER
vices they performed in the preservation
Of this Union, fer which services their
pensions are awarded"
