connection With the campaign in the
VESTS set out by Mr.. Jewell as follows.
The &pansion sentiment is Very
strong in North Dakota. Our people
favor a policy that Will give us new
markets for what We produce. on this
issue we are receiving large accessions
from the ranks of the opposition. The
further west you go the stronger you
find the expansion Sentiment / was

Christina. r.ss Exercises.

The Christmas tree exercises OF the M.
e. Sunday school, this city, were held on
Monday evening at the opera house, the
leading feature of which was the rendi-
ton of the cantata Of "The Old and New
Santa Claus" by the scholars of the Sun
day school. 1t was well rendered. This
was followed by distribution of prizes
for attendance and deportment.Although
very windy, disagreeable evening there
was large attendance.
On Tuesday evening the scholars OF
the Presbyterian Sunday school gave
similar entertainment which was very
we'll attended, and was a creditable af-
fair. The usual Christmas tree cid not
materialize, owing to the space occupied
by the presentation OF the cantata. The
scholars taking part showed that they
had received painstaking, careful drill
ing by the superintendent Of the school,
Mr.. Clark, assistedl by Mr.. Sinclair and
others. After the cantata the distriou-
ton of presents was made, every scholar
and child in the audience receiving
present. 1t wa an enjoyable affair, the
scholars acquitting themselves in high
ly creditable manner.
The same evening the scholars of st.
Paul's Sunday school held their Christ
mas tree entertainment.
The closing event was that OF the
Rocky Mountain Turnverein, which took
place at Armorv hall, where many a
child was remembered by receiving some
token of the event. THIS society since
its organization has never missed hold
ing Christmas tree exercises. Although
being without hall of their own, the
Turner's make it IL point to observe
Christmas and will continue to do SO. AS
is the custom of the Turner's, the festiv-
tiles closed with Il social dance, which
was well attended and good time had
by all who participated.

q Dog-goned Shame.

There are many stories with morals
attached, but the stories are not al.
ways true or the morals plain. Here
Is one which IS known to be unvarnish-
ed truth, and it has moral in it large
enough to go around the whole crowd
a kind of moral that is self cooking,
self printing, and self acting; in fact
so automatic that it needs no pointing;
no fuse attachment, and no touching
Off. The records show that q recent
vendue was held in South Brockway,
and a vast crowd of persons anxious to
buy themselves rich and get trusted
for the entire sum, hied themselves
thither. Among them, with his eye
cooked on sharp bargain and good
backer in his mind, came one L. II. p,
late of Yale, but now of Suunyside
Ranch. 1t seems that his ferYent de-
sires had all gone to the bow-wows,
and to have them good and fresh,
night or day, the year round, he must
needs have dog of his own. Hear
ing that dog would be sold at this
auction, he, too, hied himself thither,
with his bid made up to the not-a-cent-
more-will-I-giye notch. In due time
the dog was put up and the bidding
began. But, oh horrors kid was
there with his mouth all fixed for dog,
and armed with the cash--a whole
quarter and I. III. was out-bid and the
dog knocked down to the kid. But he
had come all the way for that pup and
the pup he would have. So, doubling
the price to the boy, he closed the bar
gain, and started home with the dog
tied behind his buggy. All went we'll,
the dog taking to his new master, and
it seemed to be case of love at first
sight. Doubts must haye come to the
dog; and he rued the bargain. AS the
new master neared his home q neigh
Dor hailed him wanting to know what
allied the dog? 1t was then that our
granger cast his eye behind him, and
10 the dog was dead. The tie-strap
moose had slipped, and his wind shut
off. Then came the weeping and
witing in Ireland. The dog was dead 4,
his hide ruined, the fifty cents clean
cash gone, a whole days time lost
and dog funeral on his hands.
