Ed Pierce, of Sheldon, is one of the
most progressive business men in North
Dakota. Besides his banking interests,
he is shrewl lawyer, real estate man
and collector; and he openly admits that
he owes his success to printers ink.
He is a big advertiser all the year
round, and because he doesn't see the
actual returns from every ad. he does
not rush over and order it discontinued;
but keeps right on advertising. If others
would do likewise, they might be more
successful. Let your lights so shine
that others may see it. When you have
an article for sale, tell the people about
it. Perhaps someone is looking for that
very thing. 1t pays to advertise every
time

Says the funny man of the exchange:
He criticised her pudding and he didn't
like her cake; he wished she'd make the
biscuits that his mother used to make;
she didn't wash the dishes, and she
didn't make the stew. and sbc didn't
mend his stockings as his mother used
to do. Oh. we'll. she wasn't perfect, but
she tried to do her best: until at length
she thought the time had come to have
rest; so when one day he growled and
whined the whole day through; she

Wasps as Ely Catchers.

The wasp is always accepted as en-
blematical of irritability and petty ma
Lightly, but even the wasp plays ben
efcial part in the work of nature. A
man who owns an estate in Ireland
saw a number of wasps buzzing around
some cows. They were all busy catch
ing flies. A white COW drew more flies
than the others, because the moment
fly alighted it YVES plainly seen against
the white background. There was a
constant stream of wasps flying away
laden with flies, probably to feed the
young wasps in their nests. In about
20 minutes the observer calculated that
between 300 and 400 flies were caught
on two COWS lying close to him.

for Aunt June's butter was of the best,

started in the valley it would keep on
growing there and not go TO the expense
of running long root to the top of the
hill
The people who live at Lusk have dis
cussed the matter a good deal, but 1t
was not until recently that they discov-
cred the real reason for the strange ap-
pearance of the tree. A botanist came
along and it was all as plain as daylight
to him.
"Why," he said; that ledge was once
covered with thick layer of good soil.
At that time, probably good many
years ago, the tree started. Then the
winds and the water began to wash the
soil away, and the root had to go deeper
and deeper down the ravine in order
to get food. And at last it has reached
the great length Of As feet, and it may
grow even longer if the soil continues
to wash away."-Chicago Record.

PETS RIDE BICYCLES.
Cats, Dogs and Monkeys which Enjoy .
Spin ON the Wheel.

The bicycle and the pet animal have
come into juxtaposition and the re-
suit is the appearance of various sorts
OF riders such as the average bicycle
manufacturers never made any allow
ance for. Cats, dogs, monkeys and even
parrots are now members of the
"world-a-wheel," and the bicycle ami
NAL is rapidly becoming almost as pop
ular an institution as the wheel itself.
1t is u custom begun, perhaps, more
as joke than in earnest, but it is q
joke which has been developed into
sober-minded fact. Those persons who
were accustomed to take their pets
with them for walk or n drive now
carry them on their daily spin, perched
on the handlebars or the riders shout
ders, or comfortably curled in a bas-
ket.
One of the first Of the bicycle animals
was a parrot whose owner lives in Chi

Uncle Jake, her cole man." There were
seven pounds Of fresh, yellow butter in
the tin pail at her feet, in exchange for
which she would bring many comfort
to the cabin that she and Jake had
bought with their own savings; the
deed of it was safely registered in the
clerks office in town. .....
Aunt June scowled, grunted, and then
sighed for the less fortunate ones of
Der race; but as she said, the town negro
had no love for the quiet country life
that had been her prosperity. ..a
The wagon had passed through the
last tollgate when Aunt June spied an
acquaintance among some workmen
who were repairing bridge over which
her team must pass. She pulled up the
mule and becloned the man to her.
He came promptly, and stood with his
hand upon the mules back while pass

Buoy Suggested by a Boy.

1t is stated in the Boston Post that
the inventor of the whistling buoy,
"that godsend to the sailor" got the
first idea of the device from seeing a
small boy pushing an ordinary tin
horn mouth downward into hogshead
of water The air thus compressed was
forced rapidly through the small end,
with whistling noise, and that same
principle is now embodied in all the APP
paratus supplied by the government,
the rising of the tide or action of the
waves driving the air into the htrn.

as he was called on ordinary occasions,

as he was called on ordinary occasions,
began to whimper.
Since the baby was born he had been
its nurse; not a willing one always, but
always faithful one. To-day, for the
first time, the rebellion took fearful
turn.
'Shet up, tell yer, and ten ter dat
chile. Po' little sister; ain yer shame
yerse'f?"
Won't yer fetch me a stick of striped
candy?" sobbed Wash, seeking to make
the best of an unpleasant duty.
I'll fetch IA stick ter stripe yer back

If the rebellion was bitter, it was
saort-lived. Before the crazy little
wagon had creaked out of sight Wash
was squatted beside his sister, indus
triously stuffing her with the big bis
cult that had been provided for her re-
freshment.
Aunt June, sailing into the county
town in all the grandeur of her own
turnout, soon forgot all about the chill
dren in the cabin at home. George
Washington was to be relied upon, she
knew, and so she gave herself no further
uneasiness on the subject.
Aunt June always went to town in
style. The big basket went along for
style, too, for Aunt June was not neg
lectful of her reputation, which was
large among her acquaintance. The
curious old bonnet bobbed many a mild

along the lanes or the white turnpike
AS she neared the town, however, the
bows became less cordial and trifle-
just trifie-condescending.T The rea-
son was soon made known to the white
mule.
Desc tritiing town niggers!" she
muttered. "Dey-all 'ud ruther lay about
