A man is never SO awakened to the
charms OF woman as when other men
are showing their appreciation of her.
So few women realize the vital diff
ference between being a part of
mans happiness and merely a part OF
his pleasure.

change in Bodice Fashions.

Word comes from Paris that the
bodice with close long shoulders is to
reign supremely in the autumn. This
means a revival undoubtedly of modes
that prevailed when Empress Eugenie
was not only the queen of beauty in
France, but the dictator of fashions.
1t also means that skirts will be wider
at the hem. that large hats will be
worn and that coiffures will gain
greatly in dimensions.

WHAT TO SEE IN NEW YORK.
The New York Press on the New
Show Places in New York.

What are New York's show places?
1t would be right lard to enumerate
them on short notice. Perhaps the
following question and answer may
appeal to some: Resident, to New
Arrival-"Now tell me what you
would especially like to see." New
Arrival-"Oh, just show me New
York" l think that very good. But
it is no easy matter to show New
York. To our list of show places,
whatever they may be, we must add
the new waiting room at the Grand
Central Station. When strangers go
there they cry 'Enchanting!"
"Grand!" "Palatial." "Purtiest thing
l ever saw!" FINEST thing in the
world!" "Ain't it splendid" etc. Mr..
Daniels has reason for the new elas-
ticity in his step.-"On the Tip of the

Gorham, N. D.. Ian. Is. ,o2.

.-E- JAs ~ OSs Us
Mr.. Editor:
AS some parties are airing themselves
about the proposed leasing bills, | would
like to have my little say.
In the first place they say that it is a
measure to run the little ranchman off
the range. Now l have heard that kind
of talk for the last IS years. ., the big
outfits wilI.run the little ones out! l heard
it in Nebraska, Wyoming, Montana,
South Dakota, and now L am hearing it
in North Dakota. 1t has been the cry
for the past 10 years. We all know it.
The big outfits have had to get out-the
little ones remaining to quarrel among
themselves about range and hay land,
crowding each other out. That is the
condition Of the. West Missouri country
today. 1t is getting worse every year.
Men possessed Of the stock fever come
in here and squeeze in between two
ranches, and trouble begins. The new
corners do not know how much land; is
required for a ranch and are inclined to
settle in too thick, and the result is that
all parties suffer and finally some one
has to get out.
l lived for 5 years within a few miles
of one OF the largest outfits in the coun-
try-the 777-and never had as much
trouble in all that time as | am having
now with n of the new settlers.
am in favor of any bill that will give
US the right to hold Improvements and
protect them. JEFF MCDONALD.

Fable Of the BabblinE Brock.
Once upon a time a fish in search Of
adventure came to the broad mouth Of,
. brook which emptied itself into "a
great river. He turned into the smaller
stream. assembled its current and lis
tened to it's constant babbling as he
went leisurely along.
Az he proceeded he noticed that the
brook became very much narrower and
shallower. Yet 1t kept up its babblIng
just the same. Finally he reached its
head and found 1t to be very insig-
nificant.
"R-ook." said the fish. never in my
life before have seen such a large
mouth and heard so much babbling
with 30 little head behind IT."
