Adopt Their Methods.

The country merchants who feel
the encroachment of the supply
houses, would do we'll to study their
methods. The city supply houses
reach out after trade, they advertise
heavily and put their wares and prices
before the public, making it appear
that they are selling the cheapest. If
the country merchant would get the
business he should have, he must
reach for it. Getting store full. of
goods won't do it. You may sell to
good share of the people who visit
the store, but how about the scores
OF people who never step inside your
doors? Do not.be afraid to let peo-
pie know that you are doing business
and want their trade. Tho businebs
men who are doing this throughout
the country today are the ones who
are doing tho heaviest business and

Can File Homestead Claims.

A recent decision of the general
land Office allows any person qualified
under the homestead law to file a
homestead claim OH any land that
has been filed on under the reservoir
Or desert land act. If the claimant
under the reservoir filing goes ahead
and fulflls that law the homestead
filing has no effect, but does not
cause the right of the claimant to file
on another homestead. The decision
was made owing to the fact that a
great majority Of the reservoir filings
we're never intended to be completed
as was the intent of the law. In the
Bismarck district there are over 1000
filings under this act, over 200 of
them on land containing valuable
springs and water courses, On only
two, however, have reservoirs been
built or work begun and these are at
Mckenzie, N. D., and Beach; Mont,
by the Northern Pacific railway 1t
is curious instance of neglect on the
part OF the company to get clear title
to the land at Mckenzie, as the reser-
voir, costing large sum of money, is
on land upon which homestead
contest has been lately filed. The
company will have to settle with the
claimant. The cost Of filing a reser-
voir claim was only So and@a man
could hold the land for two years.
Many filed for the hay but they have
NO more rights than the others, ex'
cept as to the construction OF reser'
voirs.

Surprised the Woodmen.

While the Woodmen were. in their
lodge room Tuesday evening in the
midst of their initiatory ceremonies
with all their solemnity and form,
there was rap on the outside door,
and on asking for the countersign
the sentinel was answered in man
datory tone, "Let..us in here"
This was not according to the usual
salutation, and looking out he saw
the stairway was crowded with ladies
OF the Royal Neighbors, each one
bearing a package that looked like a
prescription for hungry man. He
ushered them into the :parlor, and at
once sounded the alarm Of intruders
in the inner court
The goat was at once locked in his
stall, the gullotine and other instru-
ments of torture stored away, and the
ladies invited to enter the lodge
room. After an appropriate address
of welcome by Consul Boylan aud a
few other remarks by Neighbor Boyce
the ladies stated that they had come
prepared to serve lunch to the weary
Woodmen.
A motion that the camp be closed
| in the degree of labor and opened in
the degree Of rest and refreshmept
was quickly passed. Miss Carrie
Nelson rscited an address to the cold
Bachelors" Neighbor Klein gave an
exhibition of cake walk in carica-
cure, and few short addresses were
made by neighbors present.
While Neighbor Olson presided at
the organ the Royal Neighbors gave
a MARCH, exhibiting the new banners
used in their initiatory work. These
banners are excellent pieces of work
manship, aud were made and painted
by hand by w. H. Marsh for the
Royal Neighbor camp.
After the ladies had served cake,
ice cream and coffee, they expressed
themselves as desirous Of seeing the
famous Woodman goat, the proper
care of which has SO often kept their
husbands away from home until the
early hours of morning. By vote OF
the camp, uE,on their taking an obli-
cation of secrecy, the animal was
brought out and exhibited, a candi-
date being put through the cavalry
evolutions for their benefit. Some of
the ladies were in doubt whether tli5
was the real animal or not, but as
complaint tc the Head Camp has
been made against Venerable Consul
Boylan for exhibiting the secret work
of the order, the ladies may rest as
sured that they have the whole thing,
and they are now able to enter any
camp Of the Woodmen at their own
sweet will.
After spending au hour socially the
ladies went home, and the Woodmen,
while they were interrupted in their
solemn ceremonies, we're sincere III
their profuse invitations Ito come
again.
