Some Curious Book Titles.

In the sixteenth century we find the
greatest extravaganza displayed in the
titles of books. These may be taken
as examples; "The Spiritua ! Snuff
Box, to Lead Devoted Souls to Christ, y
and "The Spiritual Seringa for Souls
STEPPED in Devotion" A work on
Christian charity published in 1887 is
entitled "Bultons and Button Holes
for Believers Breeches." The editor
OF this paper has Father La Chaucie's
work entitled Bread Cooked on the
Ashes, Brought by an Angel to the
Prophet Eligiah (Elijah) to Comfort
the Dying" Another was issued with
the curious title of " The Lamp of St.
Augustine, and the Flies that Fit
Around IT..
The following very attractive title
appeared in book published at New
castle in 1905; Some Beautiful
Biscuits Cooked in the Oven of Charity
and Put Aside for the Fowls of the
Church, the Spauows of the Spirit
and the Swallows OF Salvation. st.

Professors are Plentiful.

An ordinary teacher now considers
himself a professor when he teaches a
high school and demands the title. A
township superintendent is always a
professor. In the educational line II
takes some little work to acquire the
title. A barber cannot call himself a
professor unless he can shave a man
without cutting him twice and asking
him if the razor hurts. Twelve music
lessons at a quarter apiece have made
several professors of music. Many
have fairly earned the title by hard
work, but many more haven't. Dane
ing masters cannot be anything but
professors. There are thrty-eight pro-
fessors in Hazleton. Enough to crowd
a small hall when a university extcn-
tion meeting is going on.-Hazleton

Thoughts For Thanksgiving.

When you awake on Thanksgiving
morn, you will doubtless feel cynical
questioning as to whether you have any
sause for gratitude or not. You un-
doubtedly have. You should be thank
full that convention does not require you
to be publicly grateful but once year
Be thankful that nearly month in
tervenes between the Thanksgiving tur-
key and the Christmas goose and that
you have time to recover from the
effects of one before attacking the other.
Think over the gifts you have to buy
before Christmas and be grateful with
your whole soul because the custom OF
making Thanksgiving presents does not
prevail also. New York World.

State Crop Report.

The following is the summary of the
state crop report issued by the State
Weather Bureau at Bismarck:
Crop conditions are generally about the
same as the previous week, being some
somewhat improved where rain fell, but
IN localities not receiving rain they are
not very promising. Late sown wheat
has been revived in some places, but
much of the crop is in very poor condi-
tion and will not head out. Early sown
grain has about ripened and will soon be
harvested in all sections. In some cOun-
ties poor prospects prevail for an aver
age clop and many fields will fall far be-
low an average. In sections where rain
was more plentiful and care taken in pre-
pairing the ground an average crop will
be secured. Much grain is 80 ripe that
it will soon shell out and active prepara.
tions are being made at harvesting. In
many sections harvest will be late. Some
reporting it as three weeks. Oats, rye,
barley and fax are being harvested in
scattered sections, and fair crop is be-
ing secured, especially barley and rye.
Potatoes continue to grow and will be up
to the average. Haying not yet finished,
but is being pushed rapidly. An immense
crop assured.

through the issuance Of transfers and
quit claim deeds by the company where
contracts entered into have been speciti-
cally complied With, should be accepted
as prima facie evidence of ownership.
In fact, ii has SO been ruled by the high
est tribunal in the land. But what the
company's lands are taxable, us we'll as
those of an individual, there can be no
question.
. For taxes for the years 1898, 1894 and
1896 the Northern Pacific is now indebted
to Mclean county, including interest and
Il snalty, in the neigborhood of $4,000.
And to this is to be added the 1889 taxes
which will bring the sum up to $4,000.
The payment of this sum would greatly
enhance the county's exchequer, place us
on cash basis and facilitate county fnan-
cal matters. We sincerely trust that the
new management of the road will adopt
a policy that will secure the payment of
current as we'll as these back taxes.

neighborhood is as good as there is in the
county this year and the average yiela
will be more than twenty bushels to the
acre. The fields we're assuming golden
hue and the grain looked truly beautiful
as it waived to and fro in the light breeze.
This locality has had several new settlers
during the past two years and presents a
prosperous Az r,earance. Messrs. Samuel
son and Gradin botn have model homes
having arrived at that stage where they
can in every way be rated as we'll of.
chinery and a.good big crop to harvest.
There was quite an extensive hail storm
Thursday about noon-passing over
Washburn. There was hail enough to lay
crops in the storms path in devastation,
hu: the lack of wind saved it. Strange,
but there was hardly breath of air stir
ring-the hail stones descending with
leaving vegetation the exception
of tender garden stuff--unharmed. Had
She hail been accompanied by strong
wind the damage would have been great.
Farmers from storm localities say dam
ages are but trivial.
President Winter, of the Northern Pa
clfic, has recollection of faces and
names that is phenomenal. Fifteen years
ago he knew Mr.. Veeder, who worked on
the same road with him. When they met
on the platform at Mandan on Monday,
Mr.. Winters extended his hand, and with
out hesitation addressed him as 'John
der.''-Mandan Pioneer.
Mr.. Veeder is an experienced railroader
having served in different capacities in
Wisconsin. He is at present employed in
the capacity of conductor on the Northern
Pacific, and we would not be at all sur
prised to see him promoted to some
higher position of trust under the new
management. He is in every way de-
serving.
