CARRIED A MENAGERlE.
Thin Man on the Car Has q Closed
basket which Interests
the Passengers.

The thin man looked just as il everybody
in the world imposed on him. Even ms
mustache grew crooked. He came into the
car of the suburban train sidewise, depos-
tied his basket gingerly and slid into the
seat beside it. As soon as the train cleared
the tunnel the basket meowed. The thin
man smiled back at the man across the
aisle, and gave the basket shake. An
other meow. A little girl in the seat IN
front stood up on the cushion and Peered
at the basket, relates the New York Post.
"Like cats!" the thin man asked.
yep" the child answered. "Lemme see
mo; it might get away" the thin man
said, with another smile.
The basket preserved silence for several
minutes, then it began to cluck. Inc
child's eyes opened wide.
Like chickens?" the thin man asked. .
Before the child could reply the basket
emitted shrill whistle, and the man across
the aisle, whose face was as puzzled as the
child's, asked: a.,
what have you there, anyhow"
"Mockingbird," the thin man answered.

Marshalltown, Ia, Aug. S.-Thurs-
days developments show 16 persons
killed and 40 injured in the freight

Harvest Hands

Are in demand along the Great Northern
Railway in Minnesota and North Dakota.
Thousands of men will be required to assist
in harvesting and threshing what promises
to be the most magnificent crop in the his
tory of these states. In order to meet this
extraordinary demand for harvest hands,
we have arranged Tor low one way rate of
$500. This rate will be in effect from Chi
cago, ILL.,, to all points as far west as Minot,
N. Oak. Tickets will be on sale every day
from July 26th to August Goth for parties
of FIVE or more on one ticket. We will also
have low round trip homeseekers' tickets
on sale on certain days. In view OF the
shortage of farm help during the spring
and summer, and the prospects for an enor-
nous crop, wages are sure to be high. This
is your opportunity to visit this great agri-
cultural section Of the Northwest at very
small cost and secure home and make
some money. There is still some free land
west of Minot that is suitable for mixed
farming and stock raising, and decided land
can be purchased at reasonable figures.
Write me fully as to the date you will
start, the number in your party, ETC., and
our travelling representative will call on
you and arrange the details of your trip.
