A HOOdOoed Dollar.

Some genius has discovered that
the silver dollar is hoodooed. because
SO many thirteens can be figured in
its makeup. However, the thirteen
superstition will not keep people from
taking them. The Saint Paul & Dull
nth will continue to accept them
from the many patrons whose loyalty
has demonstrated for many years the
popularity of the Duluth Short Line.
This line is the favorite route between
ST. Paul, Minneapolis, Duluth, West
Superior, Saltwater, Taylor's Falls
and other points, and has always en-
joyed that agreeable reputation. 1t
is thoroughly up to- date in every
thing, and especially in those things
which add most to the comfort of the
travelling public. Modern equipment,
fast trains, convenient hours, smooth
roadbed, handsome terminals, close
connections, obliging emplOyes-these
are what have made it favorite, and
1t keeps its patrons. The man who
takes the Duluth Short Line always
gets the best and is satisfied. Ticket
agents are always glad to provide
inquirers with maps, folders, circu-
lars etc, or they may be obtained by
writing direct to w. A. Russell,
general passenger agent, St. Paul,

opposing tribes range themselves. while

stolid countenance he steps forward and
deposits his furs and other valuables on
the blanket, often even going so far as

Will Remember His Dinner.

Register of Deeds Eskes had quite an
appetite for his thanksgiving dinner,
which came about IN this way. He had
some work to do in the Office which kept
him busy until about one o'clock and
when ready to GO, looked ont saw that
blizzard was raging. He had 500 yards
to 90 before he could reach home and din
ner. He bumped up against Ektrom's
house 100 yards on his way. Thence to
his house he had no distinctions, so tack
ing his lib struck out. While thinking
he was going right he went wrong and
finally landed himself on the back side OF
tho middle ware house. He then sit down
to think. Two hundred yards vet to 60
and face full head wind. 1t would be
the trial of his life but he had to make it.
His first move was to fall over the river
bank-a go down of 10 feet-and land in
a roll OF loose snow that would have put
an avalanche to shame. Facing 60 mile
an hour head wind il what Mr.. Eskes had
to do, and he done it--on his hands and
knees. The driving snow had blinded
him and his buffalo coat-now weighing
nearly ton-bore him down. He found
ON looking up time that he was an hour
and fifteen minutes coming 500 yards. He
got his dinner though, and genuine
thanksgiving one it was.

Rack in rural hamlet in Indiana few
years ago, an illiterate aspirant for thu
local postofhce went to scholarly frienc
to draw up an applicants petition. The
friend being of waggish nature, by fine
wording. and play of the English Ian
cvaQe, the article was go construed that II
was permission for the applicant fol
postofice honors go hang himself. The
petition was numorously signed by peope
for the most part, fully as ignorant OF the
m gaming of the wording as was the petl-
ton as was the petitioner himself. The
wag wanted to show people how few OF
them know what they were signing, and
also how worthless was the average Office
beggers petition. Petitions are some
times dangerous things for the uninterest-
ed citizen to bother with. aud very often
return to cruelty the thoughtless signer.

Gam. Warden Bower. Talks.

George e. Bowers, State Game Warden,
and Thomas Davidson. we'll known Cass
County farmer, reached Washburn from
the vicinity of Mandan Lake, Oliver
County, Sunday evening. These gentle
men were of party of four Far1oites,
who had been taking weeks deer hunt
ing around the brush bottoms southeast
of Connelly's place. They had knocked
down and dragged out from the brush,
seven or eight deer and that was enough
for any party that did not want to make
hogs of themselves.
While IN town Warden Bowers gave the
LEADER Il friendly call, and entered into
some discussion concerning the duties and
difficulties of his. He said III all his trav-
els over the State, the better class of cit
izens we're hearty in support of his efforts
IN enforcing the laws for protection OF
wild game. In fact only the thoroughly
bad citizen is the kicker and open viola
tor. MIR. Bowers favors the present law
of license, especially as far as outsiders
are concerned-and 1875 dollars is not too
much for a non resident to pay. He also
thinks that deer hunter should be limit
ed to five deer a season, and By proper
respect for the laws, there would be no
reason why we should not have deer in the
Missouri river bottoms 100 years hence.
.If there is any of the antelope run safely
the gauntlet this winter. of deep SHOWS
burned prairies, coyotes. hungry hunters
and English stag hounds, the law should
be 30 amended that q series of at least s
closet seasons should be given them, to
save. these nimbls natives Of the plains
from total anihilstion in North Dakots.

Fortunately for themselves
and their stock. most of the
farmers and stockmen of this
county have a fair amount OF
hay put up, and good straw
piles to fall back on in case OF
need. There is a lesson to the
thoughtless, also,in the present
winter, never to burn their
straw piles until the spring
comes.
