Devils Lake inter-ocean., 1903-10-23

amusing The man looks and acts
like silly, while the woman recog-
n:zing that she has sealed her destiny
for better or fer worse-usually worse
considers it the supreme hour of
her life and acts accordingly

Editor Davis who is doing the
heavy stunt on the Devils Lake liter
Ocean seems to be off on vacation
as the is an absence Ct the
"Gath" stuff-of which the readers
are no doubt thankful. Fargo Form.
That's rank. The idea of man
who writes column of kernels every
day which smell of soft soap worse
than Ivorydale smells of grease and
tner refuse that goes to make Ivory
oap is peculiar. It is true that after
Ia daily diet of such weak stuff as the
kernals, meal from the "Knock
about Notes. will naturally lie heavy
on the stomach and cause nightmare
Gath will cone down to Fargo and
escort The Kernals man across the
border to the beautiful city of Moore
head-the e..place where Fargo's evil
doers go-and we will even up on
five cent schooner.
Mr.. Russell, of Russell's Come
dians, now playing few towns on
the Flax Bet Circuit, was In the city
the other evening and became remin-
iscent. That's the condition an old
maid gets into when the begins tell
ing about her beaux. He remembered
playing in the court house in this
city twenty years ago, when the
company, consisting of % people,
drove across the prairie from Mime
waukan. The play was Uncle Tom S
Cabin, and the hall was packed.
Those were the days Then in many
nearby towns the manager had to re-
quest the audience not to shoot the
comedian as he was doing the best he
could. Of course such things never
occurred in this city-it was always
noted for it's civilization.

Heard something from out of town
the other day. A bazar-fair, the
elite call them, was in progress down
at Michigan City-where the news
paper genius is of the sex which the
bible fails to give to angels, because
thev are such without that authority
and a man who has fallen into
evil ways and became printer, be-
came candidate for the prize offered
for the most chiseled out old widow
er or bachelor. Now. wouldn t that
cork you We're getting onto all the
standard slang now. The experience
was peculiar in that every one vote6
for the candidate against his will
Never heard of such thing before
Gath has seen many votes cast becaus,
of the Will of the candidate, but this
is new one. The remarkable thing
about the contest was the fact tina
the candidate was deserving.
