IF PAW COULD HAVE HIS WAY.

If paw could have his way, / bet that
purity sudden there
Would be some changes what would make
the people stop and stare;
They wouldn't be no heroes then, except
in only paw,
And this would be the greatest world a
buddy ever saw,
They wouldn't be no bills fer gas, nor tax
And cars would list be run for fun, if paw
could have his way.
If paw could have his way l guess the
grass would grow so quick
I'd have to NOV it every day to keep
things loollin' slick,
And every time my shoes wore out they d
Begin to sprout right off to keep my feet
from gittin bare.
And NAV; she'd sit around and smile,
without a word to say
But only listen all the while, if paw could
have his way
If paw could have his way, the men that's
holdin' office now
Would never start to do thing till paw
had told TIL m how:
They'd never go to war unless he said
they ought to go,
And they'd depend on him to show them
how to beat the foe;
The millionaires would every one be work
in by the day,
And purity glad to have the chance, if paw
could have his way.
If paw could only have his way, the win
tiers would be hot,
And in the summer time the snow would
fly, / tell you what,
The dry spells always would be wet, the
wet spells they'd be dry,
And when the sun was shinin' clouds
would, spread acrost the sky;
Then March would be October and Decem-
Der would be May,
And they'd be more Sunday mornings,
too, if paw could have his way.
If paw could have his way, the crowds
would cheer fer him, | bet,
And all ths fashunable folks would want
him in their set,
The people that we know would all have
less than we had then,
And wouldn't leave us out when they got
parties up agen.
We'd have the best house on the street
and all the folks would say
That they'd be glad il they was us-if paw
could have his way.

London, Nov. 25.-The repored de-
termination of the United States to
compel President Kruger to allow Gen.

THE river and harbor bill of the
Congress just ended carried $780,
100000 for improvements-s38,-
100000 to be expended in the
East and 100000 in the West.
This is not a fair division of the
peoples money. AS Senator
Warren and Senator Carter said
in the Senate in the discussion of
this bill the West pays its share
of taxes and it should receive its
share of benefits. 1t should re-
ceive, to be used for storage res
ervoirs on the headwaters of the
navigable rivers, its share of the
vast sums spent annually in the
Eastern United States for the
widening and dredging of rivers
and improvement of harbors.

Important to FOrestsrs.

At a special meeting of Court Dickin-
son, Independent Order of Foresters,
held May l, the financial secretary was
directed by resolutions, unanimously
adopted, to collect dues and assessments
according to the constitution. Sec. 243
of the constitution and laws provides
that all dues and assessments must be
paid two months in advance or members
stand suspended. The adoption of this
resolution means just what it says and
all members who do not pay their dues
as requested will be suspended at once.
Each member should bear in mind that
this action is mandatory upon the 6nan-
cial secretary; further the insurance of a
suspended member becomes null and
void and in case of death during a period
of suspension there will be nothing com
ing to the family, or benefciaries named
in the policy.
High Chief Ranger c. F. Clark was
present at the time the resolution was
adopted and concurred fully therein,
stating to the Court that it was the only
safe and correct way of doing business.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed condi-
ton Of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out Of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an in1amed condi-
tion of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Ca

American Speech.

The faults of American speech, &C.
cording to an authority on the subject,
originate in the primary school. The
child is not taught the melodic value Of
his phrase. He is allowed to use the
throat instead Of the tongue, and the
flow of speech becomes, therefore, halt
ing and cultural
educate your alphabet and you will
find your language as mellow as any Of
the family Of Latium," is the advice
given. "Your is are throaty, your ms
are too labial, your SIS are too Kissing,
your c's are not soft enough. When you
a train your scholars to emit these and
the ether ~consonants within the pitch,
using the tongue instead Of the throat
for their emission, then you will see that
for rhythm and sorority your English
language may be compared with the
Tuscan, the Roman, the Spanish and
the P%rovencal."

Postage 10 10 Reduced to One Coat.

The enormous increase in the number
of letters carried in the U. S. mails makes
it certain that the rate of postage must
eventually be reduced to one cent an
ounce. The President who succeeds in
in getting such a measure through Con-
gress will hold a high place in the esteem
of the people, but no higher than the es-
teen in which everybody holds Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters. This medicine has
an u%nequalled record in reducing the
sickness of mankind. 1t gets at the
starting point of disease by acting upon
the stomach direct, helping that impor-
tant organ in its duty of digesting food.
1t makes good appetites, allays~ v
ness, stimulates the kidneys, and makes
a rundown man or woman feel like a

THREE bridges are needed very
much between Dickinson and the

CAPT. GEORGE CLARK, comman-
der of the famous battleship Ore
gon, was in Mortified, Vermont,
on Monday to break ground for
the Dewey Memorial hall. At
Mortified is located the Norwich
University, the oldest military col
lege in the country, founded in
1919. Capt. Clark and Admiral
Dewey graduated from this COL
lege-it being located 10 miles
from Montpelier, their home. The
college confers the degrees of B.
A. and B. S., and on June 80, '98,
it will be remembered, that this
college conferred the degree Of
Master of Military Science upon
Admiral George Dewey, a degree
that no other institution in the
country could confer.

was generally observed through
out the country. 1t will also be
remembered that on this eventful
day one year ago, when Dewey
astonished the nations of the
world by his heroic act in crush
ing the Spanish fleet and securing
control of Manila Bay, our SOL
der boys, Co. K, left for Fargo
where they were mustered into
the u. S. service. On the 10th of
the same month, at night, the
boys, with other North Dakota
volunteers, arrived in Dickinson,
by special train, on their way to
Manila. The volunteers spent
their 'o8 Fourth of July on the
Pacific ocean and according to
present arrangements it looks as
though the North Dakota boys
would spend their SO Fourth on
the same ocean en- route home.

School Matters in Mandan.

The Mandan school board has elected
]. c. Mccartney of Casselton as princi-
pal. The Times in commenting on the
doings of the board says:
The jump from $1,000 salary formerly |
paid in this city to the $500 that Prot.
Mccartney will receive is a long one. The
time has come when the people of Man
dan demand that our schools shall be
placed in the standing that the city's i'm
portance calls for. II, however, the new
superintendent is to be hampered, as
some have been in the past, by inefficient
teachers we would better keep our fifteen
hundred dollars and get along without a
superintendent.
1t is no dream that teachers have been
elected and retained through family or
other influence, whose services have
been a positive detriment to the schools.
The only way to overcome this is for the
board to give the superintendent power
to remove teachers who are not capable
of doing good work, and to assign teach
ers to the grades in which they can do
the best. We do not expect to see this
fully done, but the nearer the board APP
proaches this plan the better it will be
for our schools.
The Fargo Forum Says:
The school board at Wahpeton elected
Prof. Fitzpatrick of Mandan as principal.
The former incumbent was Prof. KEEP
per, who was fought by the Lauder fac
ton and supported by the McCumber
had been in politics too much-hence
dan because religion and politics inter-
fere with his work there-got the plum.
In connection with the election of
Mr.. Mccartney the Mandan Pioneer
says:
From some cause-perhaps not due to
the principals W. have had-the scholars
in the higher rooms seem to have been
neglected. We may say what we like as
to the excellence of our schools, parents
who have had children in the upper
rooms have felt that Mandan was far be-
hind the age; far behind what is expect
ed of schools in these days. The selec-
ton of Mr.. Mccartney will not remedy
the evil unless he is given full swing in
the matter of the selection of teachers to
teach the rooms where there has been
the greatest ground for fault in the past.
In order to secure good results, he must
have good teachers, and parents hope
that the good work that has been begun
by the board of securing a mar of the
highest attachments as principal, will be
followed by giving him practically full
swing in the matter of the teachers who
under him, will do the actual teaching
Otherwise he will be discouraged at the
outset. Certainly the recent move by the
board sohuld be taken as an indication that
the intention is to bring the Mandan
schools to a high degree Of excellence.
