The Graphic's New Chair

The editor sat in his easy chair
Splitting tobacco juice everywhere;
When people came in they would stand ana
stare
At what they saw aud loudly declare:
1.-The Graphic seems in a prosperous way
It gets something new every day
But from whom it gets the money to pay
For all those things we cannot say"
'Tis the way with the world we'll let you know,
We stick to business and must therefore grow
Cp with our neighbors who were once = low
In worldly goods as we were years ago.
That elegant chair didn't cost Us cent
But fills the bill for the purpose meant;
It whirls and reclines-on comfort bent
And AZ a surprise to our sanctum was sent
by our friend j. S. Costello, who knows
a GOOD thing when he sees 1t, and @
whom ye editor returns his heartfelt
thanks for 30 valuable and lasting mem.
,ento of his friendship and good wishe1
Nav the duties and burdens OF this No
rest as easy on his shoulders as'the Co.
forts we enjoy while occupying shas ~

The Bible prohibits perjury against
God and against man and forbids SANDER.
Slander is defamation of charachter,
malicious gossip, injurious talk against
ones neighbor. It is the invention and
propagation Of an evil report. A fool
can give currency to report that will
villify a prince. No sword bites so
fiercely as an evil tongue. SANDER is
the pestilence which RACES at MONDAY,
an arrow which is shot in the dark, the
revenge of a coward.

The Drama.

The play, "The Fruit of His Folly"
that was rendered by the Y. P. S. c. E.
Of the Congregational church of this city
before the public on Friday evening last
at Odd Fellows hall, was one Of the
most successful and entertaining affairs
that the people of Williston have had
the oppor tunity of witnessing for some-
time, and proved conclusively that Will.
liston possesses dramatic talent rarely
found in any community. The character
of Dorothy. by Miss Ella Nelson, was
most admirably rendered, as was also
the part of Alice Grandon, by Mis-
Frances Williams. Prof. Brownson. in
the role of Jack DunninR, ,iwas excellent.
closely followed as q good second by Mr..
Hjetland in Percy Ogden. Mr.. Coleman.
as Ashley Drayton, was absolutely good.
and faithful representative ofatman Of
the world. Mrs. Brownell. in the char
acter of Ma}inda Jane Boggs, was an ex-
cellent type of an unsophisticated old
maid from the Green Mountain state;
but Miss Clara Nelson, 10 the role Of
Polly Flinders. the rude snd shocking
colored .gal, ,:excelled in her representa-
tation of that character andidrew forth
loud applause, especially in her wicked
talk of theatres and high Kicking in the
presence of the old maid from Juniper.
Vile. Miss Violet Newell, as Sarah
Boegs. was equal to the occasion. and
made an admirable representative OF
the rural housewife. while Hiram
Boees, Sarah's husband-well. be vas
too :shiftless and sleepy to represent
much of anything. civilian Henry"
the hired man, and the bell boy. were
minor characters, but we're we'll repre-
sented by D. Gibbs and .SpurReon
Stewart. The Williston Cornet Band
furnished the music for the occasion,
and entertained the audiences very
pleasantly during the intervals be-
tween scenes. Taken all in all. the
entertainment is Spoken OF in the
highest terms as having been one OF the
most pleasing events eyer witnessed II
Williston.

publishes in the News & Stockman of
that town, a most scurrillous article
against A. J. Ames, states Attorney Of
McHenry County in matters connected
with blind pig business. This man
Shirley, we believe, is the fellow who
accepted the hospitality of Mr.. and Mrs.
Kopperdahl near Towner, some years
ago, and then beat them out of their
homestead and turned the old people
out of the house without dollar to help
themselves-and Mr.. Kopperdahl was
deacon in Shirley's church, too.
