Started Too High.

In her book, "The Last of the Great
Scouts" his sister relates this story of
buffalo Bills" visit to little church
he had helped to build at North Platte:
His wife and sister were in the con-
gregation, and this ought to have not
only kept him awake, but it should
have insured perfect decorum on his
part. The opening hymn commenced
with the words: "Oh, for ten thousand
tongues to sing" etc. The organist,
who playSd ''by ear" started the tune
in too Ugh key to be followed by the
choir and congregation, and had to try
again. \ second attempt ended, like
the first, in failure. "Oh, for ten thou
sand tongues to sing, my blest-"
came the opening words for the third
time, followed by squeak from the
organ and a relapse into painful silence.
viii could contain himself no longer,
and blurted out: start it at five thou
sand, and mebbe some of the rest of us
can get in"

AS result of the recent inquiry as to
the adaptability of damp wheat for seed
purposes the DEMOCRAT has two ga mples
received this week from s. F. MERGERS
greenhouse at Larimore, that were sent
there by Cavalier county farmers. Each
have been sown siuce January Goth, and
though started at the same time quite a
difference in their germlnatling strength
is easily seen. One sample was furnished
by Walter Sandisop, living few miles
east of Langdon, and as result of Mr..
MERGERS test shows 80 per cent produs /.
tivenass, demonstrating that. all but
about IS per cent of the seeds planted
came up, but only 81 per cent can be ex-
pected to mature and produce crop.
