The Bulletin man had the pleasure
Of meeting Captain Isaac P. Baker, Of
the Bank of Bismarck, during a, re-
cent. visit 70 the Capital city. It is
substantial men-men OF affairs like
the genial captain-that has made the
Capital city the third city in promin-
ence and population in the state.
Mayor Patterson, the genial host of
the Northwest, and his attractive and
amiable wife made it very pleasant for
the newspaper boys at their conven-
tion recently in Bismarck. We know
nothing about the political warfare at
the Capital city-but we do know that
Patterson knows how to keep hotel
and Mrs. Patterson sees to it that
their guests feel entirely at home.
Senator C. B. Little, president of the
First National bank at Bismarck, lost
no opportunity to make pleasant the
stay of the members Of the Press As
sociation at the capital. Senator Lit
tie Is one of the old lawmakers of the
state and former territory, and came
mighty near being elected United
States senator two years ago. He
would have been a worthy representa-
tive in the house of lords.

Bread and Cheese.

A couple advanced in years got mar
ried lately. ~
The husband had room in the house
securely locked, the inside of which his
wife had never seen, and, being curl
GUS as to it's contents, she begged again
and again to see the room.
At last he consented, and, 10 and
behold, the room was full of whole
cheeses!
He explained matters by telling her
that for every sweetheart he had in his
young days he bought a cheese.
His wife began to cry.
"Don't cry, DEAR" he continued. 'I've
had no sweetheart since met you.''
"It's not that" she replied, still Sob
bfng. II only wish I had been as
thoughtful as you and bought loaf
of bread for every man that kissed me.
We could have had bread and cheese
enough to last US all our days."-Lon-

When Corks Float Upright.

A cork which is longer than it is
broad, which is the case with all ordi-
nary corks. floats upon its side, so to
speak. How can. we make it float
upon it's head?
Place one on end upon a table and
around it place six others. Seize them
all together and plunge them under wa
ter so as to wet them completely Then
remove your hand gently and let them
take their own position in the water.
when you will find that they will stand
upright, as if supporting one another.
This is because the water that pene-
trates the cork will make them cling
together.

REUNION.

SUGGESTED THAT THE SOLDIER
BOYS WHO SERVED IN THE
PHILIPPINES HOLD A REUNION
AT FARGO. ,.:%4. ,,za:. 4
= Fargo Forum: Many. of the boys
who served in the Philippines with
the First North Dakota regiment FAVOR
a reunion at no distant day. Such a
gathering would be both pleasant, and
productive of much good. It would
renew old acquaintances, and all would
be interested in the rehearsal of the
experiences of those eighteen months
in the Spanish American war.
1t has been suggested that good
time for such a gathering would be
during the fire festival in Fargo this
year, as many of the former Philippine
soldiers and officers would naturally
be here then. The cheap rates on the
railroads would assist others in COM
ing and a much larger attendance
could be secured than on any other
occasion. ~
To CARRY out this view of the matter
a committee has been named with
Lieutenant Hildreth as chairman, to
take UP the details and ascertain the
wishes of the brave soldier. boys, Far
go will be glad to give them a royal
welcome. .sz.,... 81 y.y&.s s..;.. s,.E,. s,

Railroading In Ireland.

A somewhat nervous English tourist
vouches for the genuineness Of the fol-
lowing incident Of Irish travelling: The
train arrived some 20 minutes. late at
a small station, and the engine driver
inquired of the station master, did
the express 60 by yet, Tim?" 'It did
not" was the answer. There was in
decision on the part of the engine driv-
er for moment when he cheerfully
exclaimed, 'Ah, well; we must chance
it!' as he blew the whistle and started
off on the single line.-London Outlook.

PLY FOR POSITIONS IN THE
y PHILIPPINES.
" Washington, April G.-Thousands of
school teachers throughout the coun-
try want to go to the Philippines and
engage in the educational work out
lined by the Taft commission. A few
weeks ago the war department issued
a circular enlbodying some of the feat
ures of the act adopted by the Taft
commission for the educational work
in the island, and conveying inforna
ton that one thousand school teach
ers will be employed in this work
through the Philippine Islands ~ The
compensation of teachers has been
fixed ait from $75 to 1925 month in
United States money, but one of the
requirements of the service is that the
teachers who enter upon the work
shall sign a contract to remain three
years. The transportation to the
Philippines is furnished teachers who
are given employment. and their sal
aries are graded between the minimum
and, maximum sums, according to their
experience and the Importance of the
field in which they shall be employed.
The insular bureau of the war de-
partment has this matter in charge,
but only to the extent of furnishing in
formation to applicants and forward
ing their applications to the commits
sion. Thousands of applications have
been filed during the past two weeks,
but the time required for notifying
the commission and obtaining replies
from the superintendent of education
in Manila being more than sixty days,
the department is not yet advised as
to how many teachers have been en-
ployed Requests for transportation
have been received in only half dozen
cases for persons who have been Sc
lected as superintendents of school
divisions, corresponding in some re-
spects to county superintendents in
this country. The requirements of
the service are that an instructor shall
be graduate of a normal school or
college.
