of North Dakota, in Washington, one
afternoon during the extra session of
congress, called to repeal the Sherman
silver purchase act. Judge Mcguire, who
represents the city of San Francisco in
congress, and had then just taken his
seat for his first term, strolled into the

him simply as Mr.. H~ansbrough, and the

Hansbrough; II used to be a reporter
on the San Francisco Examiner, and

speeches."
"Ah, now remember you" said Ma
ghire, "and you made very good reports
of them, too. Are you in one of the
government departments here now?"
"Well, I am not exactly a government
clerk" said Hansbrough, with a merry
twinkle in his eye, "aIthough [ draw my
salary from the government"
"You are a special agent, then," said
the Californian.
"No; I am a senator from North Dakota"
was the quiet reply.
The devil you are!' exclaimed the
judge, jumping to his feet. "Well, that's
one on me-"

Fargo Argus: The wife of a promi-
nent state officer, who was in the city
yesterday, showed her courage to act in
the capacity of one Of the officers of the
Humane society. AS she was walking
on Northern Pacific avenue, she saw a
sewing machine agent trying to back
his horse up through the mud, and when
the horse failed to do what his master
required Of him, the driver beat HIN
most %furiously. The lady before men
toned %accosted him and gave him a
gentle reminder of what his duty was in
this state regarding cruelty to animals.
He would not listen, and seemed to pay
no attention to what she said. She at
last demanded that he listen and take
heed, or a complaint would be sworn
out against him at once. She gave him
some advice about feeding and harness
ing the horse, and let HIM go. More Of
such people with courage enough to pre-
vent any cruelty to animals would not
be a bsd thing for Fargo.

Colonel Lounsberry has received the
material for his new Fargo magazine,
and he asks those who wish the enter
! prise we'll to send in their orders for sub
scription, to prepare notes for historical
sketches or other matter suitable for the
magazine, or do whatever they can do to
contribute to it's success. The first issue
will be out early in May. Fargo matter
will necessarily be given first space in
the first issue, and then Pembina. Among
the things to appear in the first issue
will be a history of the North Dakota
codes, from what source, how built up.
Every lawyer will find this article of in
estimable value. The sketches will be
entertaining and instructive, present
value and permanent interest. Every
line of the type will be new, and the en-
cravings new half tone.

New Civil Service Rule That VIII Affect
Many Postal Positions.
WASHINGTON, Nov. "a new rule of
civil service has been approved by the
president. 1t reads: "And whenever, by
order of the postmaster general any post
Office shall be consolidated with and made
a part of another postoffice where free de-
livery is established, all the employees of
the Office thus consolidated whose names
appear on the roll of said office approved
by the postoffice department and includ-
ing the postmaster thereof shall from the
date of said order be employees of said
free delivery office, and the person holding
on the date of said order tho position of post
master at the office thus consolidated with
said free delivery office may be assigned to
any position therein and given any appro-
pirate designation under the classification
act which the postmaster general may di-
, rect"
1t Is the intention of the postoffico de-
partment to consolidate many offices
throughout the country This CONSOLE
dation will not necessarily do away with
the offices, but will establish them as
stations of some central point. The order
does not mean, however, thatwhen any Office
is consolidated with another it will be
served as a free delivery Office or station.
1t will receive and distribute its mail as
at present The postmaster may become
clerk or chief of the station, or he may
be discharged and some other person APP
pointed, but as soon as he becomes a
clerk in the station he is included In the
classified service and protected by 1t.
