THE D FIEND.

Fargo Forum: Sixteen brakemen
and two conductors, who have been en-
gagged on the Northern Pacific on the
Dakota division, have been let out.
Over half of the men live in this city
and the remainder at jamestown.
Each of the men has been called in
the Office of Superintendent Wilson
within the past few days and the same
story repeated to each. To the officials
word had come that the men had ac-
copied money from tourists. This each
and every one denied. 1t was then that
convincing testimony was shown in the
shape Of a snapshot picture of the
brakeman Of conductor, as the case
might be in the act of accepting money
from a man who had the earmarks OF
a tramp.
The pictures were exceptionally
good for the kind and there wa moth
ing to do but to accept the judgment
of the officials.
Within the past month a spotter has
been at work, and his plan was new
enough to work admirably. He was
armed with a butuonhole camera and
after he had made a deal for transpor-
tation he snapped the machine while
in the act of handing over the money.
None Of the railroad men have been
able to secure a description of the mar
farther than the fact that he was dress.
ed like a hobo and always had a little
loose change in mis- jumper pockets.
It is said that another large reduc.
ton is due to occur very shortly ant
that the cause is the same.

fruit instead of seeking more elab.
crate lunch in the senate and house
restaurants has increased, until the
apple eaters no longer feel lone
some.
"Old Pete" Hepburn, of Iowa, is one
of the latest converts to the merits OF
the apple as a hunger satisfier and a
liver regulator. When someone asked
Mr.. Bowersock, the Kansas miller and
capitalist, If he was going to lunch,
he said he was, and started for the
cloakroom, where he extracted q big
apple from his overcoat pocket, with
the remark, "Mrs. Bowersock has pro-
vided me with lunch.'
A few days ago a sudden crisis on
the floor brought "Uncle Joe" Cannon
in haste from the republican cloak
room, and as he came out he was in
the act of taking a generous bite from
an apple. AS he watched the progress
of the pending measure, Mr.. Canon
continued to bite and chew as he
stood in the middle aisle, facing the
speaker. And when only q small core
remained Mr.. Cannon dropped it into
n waste paper basket, reached around
to his coat tail and produced another
apple.

The Doer war In wall street.

New York Sun: The war in South
Africa has made a corporation of a
group of English and Canadian bro
kers in Wall street who hardly knew
each other by sight u year ago. Their
common interest in the fortunes of
the British army, particularly after
the Canadian troops had reached the
front, brought them together and the
campaign is followed by them closely.
When the story of Cronje's capture
came, bringing the details of the Ca
madam troops active part I'm it, the
Canadian brokers celebrated enthusi-
astically and they were at first in,
clined to overlook the fact that Gen.
eral Roberts and some Englishmen
had a hand in the capture. The En-
glish brokers informed them emphati
cally that while the Canadian troop:
were all right, yet they were not do
ing all of the fighting. This sounded
fair, and after some little discussion
the Canadians and Englishmen cam,
to a peaceful agreement as to the di
vision of glory. In this little circuit
of offices u private cable from Soutl
Africa or a letter from some man n
the front circulates quickly and takes
precedence owe business messages.

KEPT A SNAKE IN HIS BOSOM.
Massachusetts Man Shared His Lie

Massachusetts Man Shared His Lot
with n Biacksnake.
For four months Arthur Hamel o.
Holyoke, Mass, has slept in the same
bed, sat in the same chair and shared
his meals with a three-foot striped
bl~acksnake, says the Chicago Chroni-
Gle. When Hamel was arrested there
for the A~mesbury police the officer at
the station, upon searching the pris-
oner's pockets, was frightened nearly
out of his wits when the man pulled
the snake from his bosom in response
to the policeman's inquiry If he had
ANY dangerous weapons about him.
Il haven't any weapons" Hamel
CALCULATED, "but ! have this fellow
and he made a move to pass the rep.
tile to the turnkey, who shrank back
in terror. The snake coiled about his
masters hand and swung it's head de-
family at the blue coat.
Hamel said he had carried the rep
tile in his shirt bosom for -four
body. Sometimes he was more lively
than at other times and would amust
both himself and master by gliding il
and out of Hamel's sleeve or pants
leg and sometimes he would wine
himself around Hamers neck and en-
joy a quiet sleep.
When on the street the snake usual
ly wound himself around the mans
waist, belt fashion. Hamel feeds his
pet bread and milk. He got him in
Vermont and says he was prescribed
by a physician to cure a stomach
trouble. Hamel is about 35 years ole
and q French-Canadian.

A Song Of Summer.

Out In the open country fields,
With the green grass blowing merrily.
The daisies nod and the dewdrops shine.
And the sunbeams dance right cheerily.
A lassie and laddie come tripping along,
Like the fair day smiling brightly;
They pluck the flowers and they hum q
song
The song tells how neither you nor I
Eas drunk the full cup of the JOY OF the
fields,
Where the daisies and buttercups grow.
You may rise when the flowers open their
eyes,
You may battle your feet in the dew,
You may live as the children of nature
live,
The whole long summer through.
But there'l still be a secret of natures
W
Beyond your human ken;
1t Is known TO the fairies who dwell In
the grass,
But is hid from the sons of men.
Yet whenever together a lad and a lass
Trip hand In HAND through the fields,
They fancy they drink with the elfln race
All the sweetest that nature yields.
Out in the full, free light of the sun
Where the green grass bloweth merriiy,
The lass and the lad go dancing by
Singing their songs right cheerily.

The little fellow learned to set type
before he knew the alphabet. In fact,
it was by handling the metal that he
began to distinguish the letters. Now
he can do a good turn with the print
ers' stick, and occasionally sets up
stories for his fathers paper. Some
times, to vary his work-it is play to
him-he runs off cards, circulars and
envelopes on the job press.

CHAPTER III.

During the afternoon of the day
succeeding that interview with his
friend Chester Sewall made a formal
call upon the gentleman he proposed
to honor by election as his father-in-
law. He had taken the %precaution of
writing to Mr.. Willmarth to know
when and where he could have the
pleasure of comforting with him upon
a motter OF the utmost personal inn
p~ortancc. The messenger who carried
that note brought back the laconic re-
ply, penciled upon a sheet from a
memorandum pad, This p. M, 3 to
$3.50, my Office"
The thing had not an encouraging
look. An uneasy conscience permeated
his mind that his delicate enterprise
would hardly find it's most fostering
atmosphere in the busy bankers Of
flee; that he was, so to speak, about
to poke the butterfly of sentiment
under the triphammer of business.
And il was Friday, too, which, if not
an inauspicious omen, was at least not
an encouraging n Yet he strove to
argue himself into belief that it was
SO, recalling that Friday was the day
of Venus, who shurely should be
propitious to lovers. Gradually his
spirits rose, and he regained his conf
dence. Trina, he said to himself, had
doubtless already prepared her father
for the communication he was about
to receive-the curt note was nothing
more than business habit, and the in
terview would be merely n brief and
pleasant formality. His digestion was
good, his conscience not troublesome
about anything, his pockets not
empty and altogether he felt quite
well satisfied with himself and con-

The Common Folks.

II only sweetest bells were rung,
How we should miss the minor chimes!
If only %grandest poets sung,
There'd be no simple little rhymes.
The modest clinging vine adds grace
To all the forests giant oaks,
And mid earth's mighty Is a place
To people with just common folks.
Not they the warriors who shall win
Upon the battle field a name
To sound above the awful din,
Not theirs the painters deathless fame;
Not theirs the poets muse that brings
The rhymic gift his soul invokes:
Theirs but t. do the simple things
That duty gives just common folks.
Fate has not lifted them above
The level OF the human plane:
They share with men a fellow love,
In touch with pleasure and with pain.
One great, far-reaching brotherhood,
With common burdens, common Jokes,
AND common wrongs and common good
Gods army of just common folks.
