THAN A FUNERAL.
He Concluded to Pay the Doctors
Bill as an Economical
Move,

A well-known North Dakota magistrate
tells the following story, for the truth of
which he vouches: At a small town in the
state there were two doctors, one of whom
had a great reputation for the cures he eff
fected, and the other was not believed to be
much good" The favored doctor found his
services in great request, but as payment
was not always Forthcoming he made a rule
that a certain class of his patients should
pay in advance.
One winters night he was reused by two
farmers from a hamlet ten miles away, the
wife Of one of whom was seriously i'll. He
told them to go to the ether doctor, but
they refused, saying they would prefer his
services. every. WELL" replied the medico,
in that case my fee is ten dollars, the money
to be paid now"
The men demonstrated, but the doctor was
obdurate, and shut down his window. He
waited, however, to hear what they would
say. "Well, what will We do now?" asked
the farmer whose wife was i'll. And the re-
ply that was given must have been as graf
flying as it was amusing to the listening doc
II think you would better give it. The
funeral would cost you more"

a LOVER OF TRUTH.

When I list to the various people on earth.
Who talk in 50 careless a style,
cease to be moved by sensations of mirth,
And am wearing a cynical smile.
Mendacity's progress you cannot restrain,
You meet it wherever you stray,
And I murmur inssorrows and murmur in,
vain:
oh, what would George washington
say!' ?
When the man who wants Office stands up
mi declares
That he knows an infallible plan
Fol freeing this life from its usual cares
And enriching each woman and man;
When he VOWS he has tricks which will
guide fortunes star,
With assurance untrammeled and CAV:
When he scatters strange arguments here
and afar,
"oh, what would George washington
sayg"
When a lady says: "Howdo, dear! I'm SO
You came-you are looking so well!
This gown is the smartest by far that
you've had,
I've been wishing for you. truth to tell!'
And after two hours: What? You're 60

Dear me, how the time slips away!
I wish we might visit the whole afternoon

Dining Car service on American Railroads

Proposed Legislation.

A piece of legislation likely to at
tract attention at the coming session
of the legislature is a proposed meas
ure to prevent county officials from
holding the same Office more than two
terms. A former legisla-
tive body passed a bill limiting the
terms of service of sheriHs and state
and county treasurers to two terms
For some unknown reason the other
Offices were not included. At that
time n argument against including
all vas the fact that the state was
young and the remuneration for some
of the officers was less than for sheriff
and treasurer, and that there were
some counties in the extreme western
part of the state that did not have
enough attorneys to switch around
from the states attorney and Judge of
the county court. That time has
passed, however, and there is a de-
mand for a change.
Some county officials have held office
since the organization of the counties
in which they reside. In a few cases
the same Office has held for twenty or
more years. The men are, of course,
good officials to be able to fool the
voters SO many years in succession.
but it is argued that there are others
equally as able to fill the positions
and there is no necessity of giving any
one a life tenure.

Lost Their Votes.

....~. #..- 49,
There are voters, ever yet, who do
not thoroughly comprehend the Aus
tralian ballot system. This is evident
from an Inspections the returns from
Grand Forks county In the Fifth dis
trict 1892 votes were cast, only 1914 of
which were marked for presidential
electors. In the Sixth district, out Of
1409 who voted, only 1886 voted for
president. In the Seventh district
1903 men voted, but only 145o voted for
president. Thus there were in the
three districts, 70, 1919 and So voters re-
spectlvely who passed over the presi-
dental question altogether. Evident
ly many of these went to the polls for
the sole purpose of voting for certain
personal friends. or did not under
stand that to vote for president it was
necessary to vote for electors.

NORTH DAKOTA VOTE.
Every County In the State Gives q
q Republican Plurality.
This Makes North Dakota the Tanner Re.
publican State of the Union. Walsh
County Gives Three Plurality.

Secretary Jewell received official re-
turns from a number of counties, and
as a result it is now announced that the
majority for Mckinley in North Dako-
ia is 1892. Some of the figures in the
table given below are unofficial, but, as
the official returns so far received have
shown in each case that the actual ma
~jorities far exceeded the estimates, it is
expected that the tremendous majority
ofanearly 1920 will be increased rather
than diminished. There is no longer a
Democratic county in the state, even
Walsh, where a Democratic majority
was reported, coming to the front with
a majority of three votes for Mckinley.
It is estimated that the total vote Of.
the state will be about $4,000, against a
total vote OF 1900 in 1896. McKinley's
majority four years ago was 5,64o, his
votesbeing So per cent of the total vote
cast. This year the votes cast by the
two parties will be approximately IS, 100.
and 10000 respectively, the Mckinley
vote being 81 per cent of the whole.
This undoubtedly places North Dakota
at the head Of the list of Republican
states in the union.
1t is estimated that the majority for
Marshall will run about 1000 behind
that for president, while Comstock is
expected to have about 5000 or 5000
majority to his credit. Below is the list
