Jolly Old Uncle Josh.
His Great Generosity Towards His Newly Married
Niece. A Realistic Romance of Pembna, in
Which Number of Prominent Business
rlen Take Very Conspicuous Part.

Uncle Josh, that is purity neat rig-the
three SIS, Speed, Safety and Style is
Simpsons coat OF arms. and best of all,
the rates are mighty reasonable. His
wedding, party and funeral equipments
are unsurpassed. It was in stylish
turnout indeed that the rounds of the
city were made.
'No grass shall grow under our feet, :"
remarked Uncle Josh, $50 what's first on
the programmed" ooh, goodness knows
there's lots to buy" remarked Polly.
"Then suppose we buy lots first"
quoth Charley without turning a hair.
"Well, see you've got a great head for
business" laughed Uncle Josh, well
just stop at Quackenbush & Hart's real
estate office. I can always depend on
them for bargains in real estate, as they
never hold out false lights to induce
people to buy, but what they tell you
about property, may be set down as
solid facts. They control large list Of
desirable residences as we'll as farm pro-
perties, and their judgment on the good
things is par excellence" Accordingly
Mr.. Quackenbush, a member of the firm,
accompanied the trio on their drive and
before returning had sold to Uncle Josh,
for his wards, cosy cottage on Second
street.
Having already provided a cage for
the Bird" said Uncle Josh, ''now the first
thing we'll look after will be the Furnish
ings for it." Hereupon Polly energeti-
cally declared that she had heard so
much about Green & Russell's Big Fur
niture and General Store across the
riYer, that she had decided to go there.
The result was that they were ushered
into such bewilderlng display that the
girl was at first at loss how to select.
But she soon yielded to the seductive
ness of magnificent parlor suite. a bed
room set in oak, golden finish, that
would do credit to old Mr.. Klondyke
himself. To this she added an easy
rocker for Uncle Josh, and didn't forget
a most convenient and ornamental writ
ing desk for Hubby" Charles, having
come to the conclusion that Green &
Russell's prices were below the very
whisper Of competition.
"Oh, say, Uncle" exclaimed Polly,

dress IS hardly suitable, j must admit. .

There is some talk in st. Vincent in
favor Of a pontoon bridge on the Rcd
River. From what we hear the senti-
ment in reference. to this matter has
changed considerably during the last
few years on both sides of the river.
On this side while many business people
would heartily favor bridge, yet the
sentiment is not as strong or unanimous
as it was several years since. Over in
St. Vincent practically all the business
people opposed the scheme when Penn.
bina proposed it some years ago, but
now it is somewhat the other way. The
rural population on the St. Vincent side
have always wanted the bridge.

Marshall Mcclure, of the Minot Optic,
and Senator Hansbrough have not been
walking the same road together of late,
but it seems that the Senator was in
Minot last week and he and Editor
Mcclure walked down the street to-
gether. Mac says in passing large red
building, the senator asked, "Mac, what
is that building?" The answer was,
"That, Senator, is an ice house" and
the editor gave the senator ''semi-
tropical look" and the senator burst out
laughing and then Mac says, "we at last
got that pleasant smile!' OF course,
things are pretty dry now at Minot, SO
Mac says-but we wonder if they went
into the ''ice house" to get the ''smile."

THE D1FFERENcE,.

The malt joints are closed and now
the closers are happy. The closing oi
the joints won't hinder, however, those
who want glass Of beer occasionally,
from getting one. About all that ii
amounts to is a little holy satisfaction. -
Minot Optic.
Oh yes. Nc, it amounts to much more
than that. Up to a short time ago pub.
lie sentiment at Minot allowed open
saloons in spite Of the prohibition law.
The same was true in jamestown and
Bismarck and Mandan, and is true at
this time in Dickinson, and partially
true at Mandan. But only the willfully
blind refure to see that respect for the
law is rapidly moving westward. There
is big moral difference between COM
munity which suffers the existence of a
blind pig and a city which openly sup
ports and licenses the saloon. While ac-
cording to the Optics philosophy, a pig
sells more than a saloon, yet it looks
better for the people to be on the side of
the law, and late events in the western
towns show that the people are rapidly
getting on the right side.
That man who wants it cam get a
drink, some way, is true and will be
true, but there are good many people
who don't want it bad enough to either
go to alblind pig or send for it by ex-
press. We would not be afraid to wager
that in the city OF Minot if open saloons
are kept closed, and allowing for the
existence of one or two blind pigs, that
at least fifty of its citizens who have in
the past habitually taken a social glass
with friends in the saloon when open,
will become practically, total abstainers;
not because they will take the pledge,
but simply because they don't care
enough for the stuff to practically break
the law by drinking over the bar of a
pig, and do not have enough use for it

In the year 1920, or any other old time
in the future, an upheaval of the earth S
surface occurs in the Hudson Bay region.
Not many feet necessary, but sufficient
to turn the waters southwark, and during
the hours of some night Hudson Bay
comes spreading through the Red River
valley Until that vest area of low lands,
forming the bed Of what geologists call
Lake Agassiz," again becomes great
inland sea. It is thousand miles north
and south, it is hundreds of miles wide.
The loss of life and property would be
immense, beyond calculation, and it
would be the greatest disaster in the
history Of the world.
But, unknown to the remaining people
of the United States, this waste of waters
has left one island near the center con
tanning just one quarter section. The
same upheaval in the north has made
one wrinkle" in the crust of this part Of
the valley sufficient to push this one

ing waters, and there it stands, unknown
to the world, but with its farm house,
stables, stock and the farmer and his
family. seed and other things naturally
and commonly found on North Dakota
farm.
Such supposition as the foregoing
would form the basis or plot of tale
similar to those Of Robinson Crusoe, .
Swiss Family Robinson or .'Mysteri.
ous Island"
We. do not intend. however, to COM
plete this story, but it does not require
the genius of DeFoe or Jules Verne, TO
see and realize. that our farmer and his
family would need to use but little In
genuity and labor to supply themselves
i from the products Of the soil with nearly
every necessity and most Of the luxuries
of present existence, and when, alter
{ twenty years Of solitary life on such
isolated island, the steamship, which, on
i itsregular trip from Chicago to Great
Falls, over this new sea, gets blown out
Of its course, and discovers the island,
4 Mr.. Farmer will be able to supply that
steamer with all sorts Of provisions and
stores, and perhaps be so comfortable
and happy that he will prefer to remain
where he is, rather than BE rescued and
lreturned to civilization.

to keep it in their cellars. There isn't a
town in the state where the law has been
enforced, but what has had this exper-
fence. The average citizen in such
North Dakota town may be willing to
take social drink under some circum.;
stances, but as matter Of fact, he act-1
ually drinks little or none, even though
the closing Of the joints don't hinder
him. 4

1t did not take Polly long to tell a bar
gain when she saw one. She got a
handsome dress, with all necessary trim
miigs, and several other articles of "fan-

every woman.

will not be for want of superior cooking

they left Charley also got much interested
in road wagon. Uncle Josh saw what
was up, SO he quickly said, ''I'll honor
your draft for that too, my boy, cause
know that anything you get Of King &

Lets see-I promised you gold

Polly, "and NJ. H. Miller is the man to
