1t Tasted Good Still.

Some lively college girl, no doubt
from the sunny south, relates in the
Wellesley Magazine a novel variation
upon the theme, long popular with the
funny man" of the newspapers, espe-
cially at Thanksgiving time, of the
little boy who wants to eat mere than
be can. Little Sammy, on the porch
Of the great house of the neighbor-
hood, had just inquired insinuatingly:
Didn't de white folks have ice-cream
TO- dinnah, Miss Kate?" This small
negro reminder of happy ''fo'-de-wah
days" had never pleaded with me in
vain for goodies, proceeds the nara
tor. Very soon he had eaten full
saucer of cream, which I had given
him, and with the spoon poised on a
sticky fore-finger, was looking at me
with eyes that begged for more; and
he got it, even to the third saucer.
I watched him till fell to dreaming
again, and my eyes sought the river.
Only the clink Of the spoon against
The saucer and satisfied sigh now and
hen broke the stiffness of the south
ern summer day. Presently all was
quiet, and 1 looked round to find hap
py Sammy with the most disconsolate
expression on his face, his head turned
little on one side, and his eye fixed
gloomily on about quarter Of spoon
'ul of cream
What is it, Sammy? Isn't it good?"
"Yas'm," in a sad tone.
"Then why don't you eat it? Have
you got enough?"
He looked at me, as he Strengthened
ID and unbottoned the little worn jack
ct. "Yas'm." he sighed, "got 'nough
wy whar 'cept my mouf!"

The Catholic fair and bazaar, which
will be held at the Donovan Hall, in this
this city, during the first week OF Nevem-
Der, bids fair to be one OF the most
handsomely gotten up series of church
festivities OF it's kind ever held in Lang
don. Aside from the elegant display OF
hundreds OF useful and ornamental ar
ticles, made by the ladies and offered for
sale at small cost for most worthy
cause there will bel wei arranged musical
and literary programs rendered during
evenings, as well as meals served during
the day, resulting in the keeping of the
fair open from morning to night. An
other strong feature Of the fair will be
the popular voting contest in which fine
ladies gold watch is being competed for
by Miss Eta Holland and Miss Annie
Connors, the friends ofeach already being
actively at work in the interest OF their
favorite. The program has not as yet
been completed, but it is understood that
sufficient attractions have been obtained
to keep the fair open at least two days.

John Wild spent the greater portion
of last week in Manitoba, visiting a
great many of the fine stock farms up
there with view to purchasing some
more thoroughbred stock. From the
famous Greenway ranch he secured sew
eral head of cattle, immediate descen.
dants of the first prize winners at the
Columbian exposition in '93 and unques-
tionably the best bred stock in the world.
Mr.. Wild had formerly secured several
head of thoroughbred Shorthorns from
the Mekinock herd, shipped in by 9. A.
Smith, which with these late additions
will give him good start in this class Of
stock. With his large new barns, fine
meadows, timbered and prairie pastures
and vast grain fields he is splendidly
equipped for stock vaising, and in stock
as in wheat raising he is bound to lead
the procession. Globe.

VIM. O'Reilly, we'll known Cavalier
county teacher, who through the aid of
the A. o. o. W., of this state, was enabled
a year ago to seek restoration of his
health in the sunny cline of New Mex
leo, writes to the North Dakota Work
man nnder the date of Sept. 81. In his
letter there ia much that will interest
his friends here at Langdon, and by re-
printing part it is hoped that his
present condition and needs will be
shown to those who know him best and
might wish to extend .the hand of
charity:
II expected to be able to earn my own
way within SIX months. But now I do
not think I will be self sustaining before
the first of next May. Beside dollar a
day for board and room I shall need a
whole new outfit of clothing sfor this
winter, and could use some medicine to
advantage. Have not had any medicine
since last February. And all this can
have if each brother Workman will con-
tribute his mite. Surely when the breth-
rem have begun this work they will not
drop it when it is only half done. With
some CT them acquiring wealth on the
Klundike and others making a Klondike
of the soil of the Fllckertail state, it will
be easy for them to assist brother in
distress this year. With the word
"Hope" in the banner floating above the
craft "Pure Air and Sunshine embark
on the sea of Cod Liver Oil, bound for
the haven of health. But never can
reach the desired port unless my brother
sailors in the tug "Chsrity" will throw
me lifeline.''

She Must Have Been Very Bad.

In this day Of slang and slipshod
english it is quite refreshing to find
me home in which our mother tongue
s appreciated, and sins against it's pur-
ty duly resented. That there is at
east one such was made evident in a
quarrel which took place in literary
household between the two youngest
inmates; a quarrel, like most childish
differences, soon over, but fierce while
+ lasted When his wrath had reached
is height, the small son of the house,
,uiyering with anger, sought for Ian
suage to denounce his sister, who had
