Ralph Wheelock in Minneapolis Tri-
bune: Complaint from the
travelling public in North Dakota of a
scarcity of hotel accommodations in
all towns from Fargo to Washburn.
This COMPOUNDED prosperity has it's
drawbacks. We can recall the time
when a traveller through the Dakotas
could have the finest room in the house
all to himself, with four meals a day
at a private table if he wanted them,
and would get a 7-cent cigar thrown
in with every meal as long as he chose
to stay. And even then the hotel pro-
prietors nearly died of lonesomeness,
and the help suffered fearfully from
ennui, while the wheels fell off the bus
from lack of use, and a man who got
off the train with a grip in his hand
was in danger of being mobbed by the
hungry hotel runners"

HAS FADED OUT

DECLARATION OF INDEPEND-
ENCE is NOW ONLY BLANK
PAPER.
AS a physical, seeable thing the fam
GUS Declaration of Independence is no
more. The stirring text and the sig
natures of the members of the Contin-
entail congress have faded away. This
precious document is preserved in a
cabinet in the state department library,
but it is now practically nothing more
than a large sheet of parchment on
which no legible writing appears.
Part of the words Declaration of
Independence" which were written in
large letters. with many ornamental
flourishes, are desipherable, but not a
signature is visible to the naked eye
One hardly discernable stroke of John
Hancock's pen is all that remains of
his bold and vigorous autograph, which
he %purposely made large to show the
British government that he had no fear
of being known. The declaration is
preserved in a narrow drawer, glass
covered, which slides in a steel safe
with heavy double doors, locked by a
combination. After it's removal to the
state department from independence
hall in Philadelphia, where the Con.
tinental congress held it's sessions. or
July 4, 1776, the declaration was
placed in a glass case and exposed tt
the view of visitors. Owing to the
strong light to which it was subjected
it began to fade, and it was then re-
moved to the drawer in which it is
now preserved. The fading contin.
ued, however, until now the noted doc.
ument is nothing more, apparently
than a mere bank sheet of paper. The
original of the Constitution of the
United States is preserved in the same
case with the declaration. 1t wa
written on four large sheets of parch.
ment each kept in a separate glass.
covered drawer. The ink shows ne
sign of fading. The signatures OF
George Washington and other mem.
bers of the constitutional convention
are as clear as if they had been just
written.

An Outrage.

An old gentleman vas present at the
reading Of the will Of a distant rela-
tive. He had hardly expected to find
himself remembered in it, but pretty
soon a clause was read in which a GER
tain field was ~bequeathed to him.
That was good, but the document went
on to bequeth the old gray mare in the
said 1eld to some one else--a man
with whom the old gentleman was not
on friendly terms. That was too much
for his equanimity, and he interrupted
the solemn proceedings and brought a
smile to the faces of the company by
exclaiming:
'Then she's eating my grass!"-Pear-
sons.
