An amusing story is going the rounds
at the expense of Conductor Sbafer. On
Iarecent trip to Grand Forks he had
considerable difficulty in arousing one
Of his passengers who had taken adj
vantage of the s'snail" movement of the
train to have nap. Mr.. Shafer went
through the car several times, each
time giving the above mentioned pas
senger a punch in the side. Presently
the passenger was aroused and handed
the somewhat rough conductor his
mileage book, Mr.Shafer in an official
manner cody tore off few hundred
miles worth. but persisted in the man
signing his right name. This was met
BY the bland answer that he only went
by one name, and finally, with the as
sistance of the passengers, Jim HIPS
representative was made to understand
that the gentleman he had been giving
afew friendly (P) punches was not T. S.
Edison of this city. An apology fixed
things up all right, but the man de-
clared he will change his appearance
wonderfully before he undertakes to
ride with Mr.. Shafer again.

Uniform Rank Z. Of p.

Last Friday night witnessed on e of
the most delightful occasions that ever
took place in our town. The Knights
of Pythias order instituted the Uniform
Rank and the degree was conferred on
thirty-three knights by Col. W. Rooms,
assisted by Sir Knights Frank Hanson
and S. F. Hubbard. Unfortunately the
train was late and the visitors from
Grand Forks, Larimore, Park Kiver
and Milton did not reach Langdon
until half-past eleven O'Clock.
The knights and the visiting brethren
at once repaired to the Columbia Hotel
where grand supper was awaiting
them. Under the artistic touch of Mr..
and Mrs. J. G. Cramond, the large and
handsome dining room was beautifully
and artistically decorated, while the
long tables were heavily laden with the
choicest viands for the tired and
hungry visitors and their hosts, who
were by this time more than ready to
do justice to such a feast. Owing to
the lateness of the hours but few
toasts were had, but they were gems
of gayest thought and brilliant elo-
quence. When the feast of good things
and flow of the soul ended the knights
babe adieu to the ladies, who by their
presence had graced the banquet and
proceeded to their Castle Hall.

The Globe Of that city that his trade
has increased more chan 30 percent
IN The last three years. He finds
that such inventions as the electric
car and bicycle do not affect the
sale Of horses. As the experience
Of the Boston horse dealer is con-
trary 10 that which finds current
expression at the present time, the
reasons given for it become inter
getting. The principal reason il that
horses have recently been brought
within the means Of families Of com
pafatively small incomes. That
which was . few years ago the lux
ury for the rich ID now the comfort
Of the poor. Small horses for the
saddle are In good demand. Ladies
ride more than they did, and only

taken 10 the bicycle. There is less
demand for high priced roadsters Of

horse who IS willing to make him
