A North Dakota Company.

During the past year the North
western Fire g. Marine Insurance
company of Grand Forks has made a
better showing than any other COM
pany doing business in North Da-
kota. Its business has at all times
been conducted on very conserva-
tive basis, and while it has suffered
losses they have invariably been for
small amounts. The future outlook
for the company is very bright and
its many friends predict even q far
better business in the years to come.

with him.
He is beast of burden and heavi1f

skin out and analyze the superduities
which hang about him and which are
necessary at this time in the history
of civilization in order to give him q
polite standing in the community in
which he lives and in order to make
Fhim comfortable.
One is almost inclined to shrink
away from the fearful responsibility
of carrying such a load, and yet one
must do it if he is happy. Here are
two articles which stick closer than
a brother, and them we find pulled
up around his shins and ankles-two
socks. He wears two shoes unless he
was in the war, and two strings are
needed to lace them, or twelve but
tons or more if they are not lace
shoes. He wears one shirt and one
under shirt, one collar and two cuffs.
He wears one coat and vest, pair of
drawers and one pair of trousers, and
there are twelve buttons on his trous-
ers, six generally on his coat, and six
on his vest. He carries two cuff but

Lower Branch Of Congress Is After
More Postoftices.

More Postoftices.
Washington, Jan. 6.-Representa-
tive T. F. Marshall has been busy
during the holiday season looking
after the postal affairs of North Da-
kota. There are several vacancies in
presidential offices in the state for
which Mr.. Marshall will soon name
postmasters. He has recommended
Frederic johnson for postmaster at
Leeds, and it is understood that he
will soon recommend Gilbert Helgo-
land for postmaster at Towner. The
new postmaster at Bismarck will not
be named for several weeks.
Another matter which is engaging
the attention of Mr.. Marshall is in
relation to the establishment of q
railway mail service between James.
town and Leeds on the Jamestown
& Northern Road. The distance be-
tween the point named is more than
100 miles, and mail is supplied the
Offices along that road by pouch and
star route service. Mr.. Mars hall has
recommended the establishment of a
railway mail service between James
town and Leeds, with the appoint
ment of clerk to distribute mail on
the proposed route. He is hopeful
that affirmative action will soon be
taken.
Little interest is manifested in
North Dakota in the rural free deliv-
cry service. Orders have just been
issued in pursuance of tho planR per
fected during Mr.. spalding's I'm o1

one cravat with clamper to hold it in
place. He carries one handkerchief
in his pocket. He wears one hat. In
the winter he must have two gloves
and one overcoat and maybe two
overshoes. But this is not all. He
has watch and chain to carry
around with him, a bundle of letters,
a package of cards, q plug or q sack
of tobacco, or maybe a few cigars. A
pipe, perhaps, knife, pencil and
few other things which usually go to
make up the pocket outfit, such as
matches, tooth picks, buckeyes, and
other good luck symbols. There is
leather in his shoes with hair in the
soles and steel pegs in the heels
thereof, There is silk or satin IN his
necktie. There Is wool, cotton, linen
and other things in the clothes he
wears. There is straw in his hat.
There is starch in his SHIRT. There is
gold and silver and pewter and other
metals in the watch chain he wears. .
There is brass and bone in some of
his buttons. There is tin in his gar
ter clampers and in the clsmper
which holds his cravat in place.
There is glass over the face of his
watch. Dye is used in staining his
clothes and one may find here all the
colors-red, white, blue, black, pur-
pie, yellow, brown and almost every
other tint. He has paper in his
pocket. There is rubber in his sus-
penders and garters. Paint is found
in the figures on the face of his
watch and polish is hound on his
shoes. So after all man is really q
beast of burden, and when he begins
to count up the more than one hun.

Industrious Old Clock.

At quaint old Castletown. the me
tropolls" Of the Isle Of Man, there e1-
lists a very interesting clock, which has
now performed its functions OF time
telling In FIVE centuries. 1t was pre-
scented by Queen Elizabeth in the year
1897 to Castle Rushen, the fortress
which stands in the middle of Castle
town. from which the town takes Its
name. The works are crude, being
driven by ropes and pulleys, but never
theless they keep fair time. The clock
in fact, has run ever since 1t was built,
except for rare stoppages for repairs.
To this day the single hand which
travels slowly round the dial outside
the tower of Castle Rushen is the
principal source Of information as to
the hour to the inhabitants OF Castle
town. A timepiece which has worked
continuously for more than 300 years
is something of real curiosity.-Jew-
elers' Circular.

The earliest mirrors OF which men
ton is made in history were in use
among the Israelites in the time Of
Moses. That gentleman, as recorded
In the Bible, commanded in a certain
emergency that these articles should
be transformed into wash basins for
the priests. They were made Of brass.
Doubtless similar utensils of this and
other materials were in use long before
that. At that same period black glass
was employed for the purpose. as well
as transparent glass with black foil on
the back. It is related that the Span
iards found mirrors of polished black
stone, both convex and concave, among
the natives of South America.

"True. true" said a wise old OWL
who was listening to the donkey. You

MEDICINAL
More Harmful
Than Alcohol
Overeating Worst Form
of IntemperanCe.

Ifyourfood is undigested. you are un-
derfed. no matter how much you eat.
md the underfed man is, TO the extent
NJ the undertaking, crippled for the
hattie of life. On the other hand,
there is such thing as oyereating.
The harm done by Indigestion caused
by overloaded stomachs exceeds that
from the increased heart beats caused
by the use Of alcohol or whiskey.
Eat as much good food as you need
hut don't overload the stomach. III
vour stomach is weak 1t may refuse to
digest what you cat. Then you ought
to use a good digestant like Kodol Dys-
pepsia Cure, which digests what you
eat without the stomach's aid. This
rest and the wholesome tonics con-
tanned in Kodol Dyspepsia Cure soon
restore health. You don't have to diet.
Don't eat too much. That's harmful.
But eat enough and of sufficient varie-
ty. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure will digest
It. 1t quickly relieves the sensation
Of fitness and bloating from which
some people suffer after meals. III
prevents belching and absolutely cures

Temperament and Exercise.

Careful tests and observations made
at the Yale psychological laboratory
have demonstrated the importance Of
studying individual temperament be-
fore prescribing a system of physical
exercise. A nervous temperament, for
example, requires different treatment
from that required by phlegmatic
temperament, without regard to the
physical condition Of the subject.
The mental factors are more neces'
sary than the muscular in the develop
ment Of strength. A nervous person
should never be required to take heavy
exercise. A phlegmatic person, on the
contrary, requires it. The phlegmatic
temperament indicates reserve energy
In both muscles and nerve cells, while
the nervous temperament has less re-
serve power, but greater ability to use
the energy at hand.-Philadelphia Rec

Sense In PrOverbs.

There is a deal Of sound sense in the
proverbs Of a nation. Earl Russell de-
fined a proverb as being the wit OF one
man and the wisdom of many, and the
aptness Of this is well shown in the
following from the Spanish, "Since we
cannot get what we like, let US like
what we get" The thought is as old
as the race of mankind, but ages pass
ed before one man hit upon the happy
expression of It, This saying from the
Chinese is a whole homily on pride In
one sentence, "When a tree Is blown
down, 1t shows that the branches are
longer than the roots"
For concise expression Of the lofty
aspirations of youth and the sober
achievements Of ripper years take THIS
sentence from Henry d. Thoreau, THE
youth gets together his materials TO
build a bridge to the moon, or per-
chance palace or temple on the earth,
and at length the middle aged man con-
eludes to build q woodshed with them"

An Odd BetrothaI.

It is said that a certain servant In a
moment Of WEAKNESS with domestic
duties said, ''Rather than go on Ike
this month after month forever I'll ask
the first man who passes IL he wants a
wife"
Her fellow servant challenged her TO
put the question to man just then
passing by. The young woman was
not prepared to be taken at her word
so suddenly. but, In desperation, De-
thought herself for a way OF escape.
She was Welsh and hurriedly e1claim-
ed as the unknown was passing, "A
oes cisiau gwraig arnoch chwiT edo
you want a wifeY0
"Oes" c'Yes'J was the unexpected re-
ply from the young man, who also hall
ed from the principallty, and, with
Celtic sprlghtliness. followed into the
hall the blushlng GIRL who had fed
upon hearing the familiar word. The
maid, a farmers daughter. was bux-
ON and neat, the swain was an indus
trious and ambitious young dealer with
promising prospects, and soon "merriiy
rang the wedding bells"

A sInrinr WILL.

A singing well is one Of the natural
curiosities Of Texas. In fine weather a
sound like that of an @ollan harp is
given out by the well. At times the
sound is clear; then 1t recedes, as If
far away. and then 1t reaches the ear
very family. These changes take place
every few minutes and with great reg
ularity. With an east wind blowing
the water in the well gets very low,
and the mysterious musical sound Is
faint. A strong west wind causes the
water to rise and the sound to increase
in volume and clearness.

Did Not Know What Was Going On,

There Is a fact about the French rev.
olution more wonderful in its way than
any which can be discovered in old
newspapers. 1t is the fact, gathered
from private letters Of the period, that
in those stirring times. when all the
world was ringing with the events In
Paris, there were actually people In
that city living in absolute ignorance
Of the horrors around them. There
was no reign of terror for them. They
lived veritable recluses in their quiet
suburban houses, hearing nothing,
reading nothing Of the turmoil which
startled and terrified the nations. One
wonders much what manner of people
these oysterlike folks might be. Moth
ing sounds more incredible today. Yet
there are many things in history not
half so we'll authenticated, though his
tory is curiously silent on so strange a
Circumstance.

What the Trume Is.

The ancient Romans, at whose sump-
tuous banquets trufles played an i'm
portant role, supposed that their ex-
istence was one Of the material results
Of thunder. More modern botanists
have classed it as species of mush-
room, but 1t can scarcely be termed
such. To be exact, the truffle is a tu-
berculous fungus, a sort of morbid ex-
travasation Of vegetable sugars anal
ogous to oak balls or nutgalls and
doubtless originating, as these latter,
from the sting of an insect.
