NORTH DAKOTA NOTIONS.

Eddy County Provost: 1t will soon be
the season when the soap man, the 4ange
man, the cheap grocery man and the
fa6ir in all his numerous guises-- but still
the fakir-will be here. He will come
with ms plausible tale of cheap prices
long tlne-installment plan-and all the
balance OF his rot, but let us hope that
the crop Of suckers will be light this sea-
son.
Grand Forks Herald: The suppression
or naughtiness in Bismarck has mad it's
effect west of the state line, and gamb-
ling has been suppressed in Montana
ana Bismarck is putting on airs about
it.
Fargo Forum: When the North Dakota
EDITORS agree on prices to be charged for
patent medicine ads. and legalS, it is said
they will make a fixed charge Of 81 per
line for cards of thanks-so obsolete, an
tlquated-and Things like that
Bottineau Courant: A new counterfsit
has appeared to add to the worry of the
authorities-a bogus dog tax 1T would
seem that it would be more comfortable
proceeding to pay the license and get a
good one. All the dogs in Bottineau
seem to be wearing the genuine article
however.
New Rockford Transcript Tuttle, of the
Mandan Pioneer called on Oom Paul the
ctner day over across the pond and asked
the old gentleman whether he would visit
the United States or not and after look
ing futile over very carefully, the Dutch
president answered that he would not
come over and see us. Tuttle's nervous
energy evidently had a restraining effect
on the old man. He cannot size up these
Anglo-Americansl properly.
La Moure Chronicle: A green sward
dotted with mattresses, pillows, sofas
chairs, and several other articles Of
virtu; the lord of the manor pounding
carpet and damning-his efforts with
faint praise the while; my lady in cap
and apron, standing tiptoe upon a rick
ETY. chair and with her white, moist
nude hands caressing the windows-all
this combines to make a scene of charm
most passing fair. Dear reader, can you
guess what is going on in our midst?
Valley City Alliance: This is the sea-
son of the year when the carpet is being
put down with the summer side up, and
the deadly, profanity provoking tack is
always standing on it's head ready to get
in its work. OF course there are men who
retain their membership in the church
during rhouse-cleaning time, but their re-
tention doesn't speak Wei for the organi-
zatton to which they belong We have
often thought and still think that the
cause of religion would be greatly ad-
vanced, if they were kicked out into the
beggarly element of the world until the
peace and. tranquility season enters the
house,. Heres sGn.
Trail County Times: We always ad-
mire redheaded girl. She is so indie
pendent. When the redheaded- girl walks
down the street she knows that every
body is gazing at her, and that the cute
folks are making remarks about her, but
she does not mind it a little bit. Other
women. may try the art Of changing
their locks to some other shade; but the
redheaded girl never does. She stands by
her color and all the white horses in the
country wouldn't move her from it. 1t
is evident that when God made the rel
hair he put the right kind of material
under it, and that's the reason we ad-
mire the redheaded girl. If we were on
the school board the redheaded teacher
would get out vote every time IF we
were running store we would hire the
redheadeds girl for a clerk Being IN
the newspapers, however, we can do moth
ing for her.
