Northwest Magazine: For all
these years the farmer has been called
nhayseed." He has been referred to
in a ;~joocular manner. It was more
in the way of pity than contempt.
No one hated him. He was simply
regarded as a harmless sort OF indi.
vidual, too ignorant to get in the way
Of the "fne fellows" and just inno-
cent enough to be easily worked. he
was the subject of the cartoonist, the
actor and the funny people generally.
His children grew up to be ashamed
Of his calling. They drifted away
from home. It only looked respec-

John Spratt will eat no fat,
Nor will he touch the lean.
He scorns to eat of any meat;
He lives upon Foodine.
But Mrs. Spratt will none Of that;
Foodine she can not eat.
Her spectral wish is for a dish
Of Expurgated Wheat.
To William Spratt that food is fiat
On which his mater dotes.
His favorite feed-his special need
Is Eata Heapa Oats.
But sister Lii can t see how Will
Can touch such tasteless food.
AS breakfast fare it can't compare,
She says, with Shredded Wood.
Now, none Of these Leander please
He feeds upon Bath Mitts.
While sister Jane improves her brain
With Cero-G rapo-Grits.
Lycurgus votes for Fathers Oats
Proggnie appeals to May;
The Junior John subsists upon
Uneeda Bayla Hay.
Corrected Wheat for little Pete;
Flaked Pine for Dot; while sBub,'

QUESTIONABLE POLICY.

The high position he holds and the
esteem in which, he is held through
ont the state will attract much atten-
ton to the public u~ttcrances of Bishop
Mann with reference to the condition
of affairs, as he sees them, at the cap:
ital city Of this state. The Bishop,
in a letter addressed to the Grand
Forks Herald scathingly critlsizes con-.
ditions which he alleges exist in a
certain hotel there during the session
Of the legislature which he claims are
utterly disgraceful, corrupting, I'M
excusable.'' He says twice faunts it.
self unchecked and unrebuked."
The bishop continues "what con
ception of law do our Legislators pos
sess while they supinely contemplate
such outrageous violations of legality,
morality, decency?"
Bishop Mann's letter will cause a
sensation throughout the state. His
courage in making the bold state
ments he has is little less than start
ling. Many well-meaning people
question the advisability Of directing
attention to evils existing in such a
conspicuous name North Dakota
cannot be benefited in the eyes of
the outside world by such advertising.
The Inter Ocean does not question
Bisl op Mann's good intentions and
his sincerity; but that he will be
criticized for the manner in which
he has drawn attention to existing
evils at the capital city, there is no
doubt. Bishop Mann is we'll inform.
ed and should know that it is not
the business of the Legislature to en-
force our state laws. Our legisla
lures make laws and provide for their
enforcement-the people must do the
rest. Not one of the evils to which
the bishop directs attention could ex-5
list if the laws we now have were en-
forced. If the people composing the
municipality Of Bismarck refuse to
respect and enforce the law what can
the legislature do? The effect of
Bishop Mann's letter will be to draw
unfavorable attention and comment Of
the outside world to the state of North.
Dakota, where the evils complained
of exist and are chargeable only to the
city Of Bismarck and the local author
tiles. And after all it is very likely
that in. the larger cities in other
states, a similar ard in many cases
much worse condition Of affairs exits
than at Bismarck. And it is very
likely that the moral atmosphere at
Bismarck is quite as pure as the at.
mosphere Of most capital: cities-par-.
ticulary during legislative sessions.

On entering a hallway or reception hall the first impression of the interior and its occupants are made.
 RUGS-We suppose that everyone uses rugs in their halls, reception hall, pariors, dining rooms, library and even bedrooms nowadays-tend more to give a tone and elegance to the sur roundings. Rugs, even in large size, new can be purchased in good quality so.cheap that few are they indeed who de not take advantage of the prevail ing styles.

INITIAL TRIP IS ID BE. MADE TODAY New Train on the |, & N. Runs
 to Decatur WILL BE VERY CONVENIENT Leaving Birmingham at SIS a. m. and Returning in the Afternoon, Busi- ness Men Will Benefit By
 the New Schedule.
WILL BE VERY CONVENIENT l

The new accommodation train on the Louisville and Nashville railroad to De- catur will make it's initial trip tomor- row. It will leave Birmingham every day except Sunday at CHS a. m. and will arrive in Decatur at 9;4O a. m. It will be perhaps the most convenient accommo- dation leaving Birmingham. It will en- at reasonable hour and give them an opportunity to transact their business and return on the fast mail.
 Huntsville Connection.
 The train will make close connection at Decatur with the Memphis and Hunts vile accommodation for Huntsville, and allow three hours to drummers and oth- CTS to remain in that city and return to Birmingham the same day, the ac- commodation leaving Decatur at S15 D. m.
 Commercial travellers desiring to visit Decatur and go west will have two hours and forty minutes in which to call-on the merchants, and make Memphis the same day over the Memphis and Charleston division of the Southern railway. It will also be convenient for citizens who desire to visit the towns along the Louisville and Nashville railroad between this city and Decatur. as it will enable them to return the same day.
 Double Track.
 The double track between Flint and Decatur is complete and already in serv- ice, and in measure is responsible for the inauguration of this new train, which has been long demanded by many peo- pie in Birmingham and other towns along the Louisville and Nashville as far as Decatur.
