everything progressing very fayorably

everything up around the premises.

IA farmer had a dream. He dreamed
that he had raised three Thousand BUSH
els Of wheat, and was happy over the
fact. Then he dreamed he sold It for
Ia dollar bushel, and his happiness was
great. But he dreamed now that he
had sold it to thousand different peo-
pie, three bushels to each one and that
very few had paid him, and he wassad.
His wife wanted a. new gown, and he
said, II must 60 after my dollars. y
Few paid when he called, but most OF
them said: .'Only three dollars, call
again." Finally, weary with travel,
he awoke and said: "Wife, 1 dreamed
/ was an editor"
Marshall Christensen waited upon 8
gang of men who have been hanging
around town for several days last FRI
day and who have repeatedly refused
to 90 to work, and gave them two hours
in which to leave town or stand a few
days in the cooler they got. The towr
does not want to drive men out Of thu
county who are willing to work but
the citizens are unanimous in the point
that there is no room for loafers herr
and they will have to 60. Several o.
these men were offered as high as three
dollars day but would notg to work
They evidently were looking for higher
game at less exertion.

to believe: AS the train was nearing
Marion one day last week, the conduc.
tor came through and stopped III front
lof an old white-haired man and said
Ticket, please The old gentleman
said that his ticket had been taken up.
The conductor then inquired where he
had boarded the train and the old man
replied: AT Casselton. The conduc.
tor said: Why. nobody but q little
boy got on at that place. well, the
old man replied, TIN that little boy. e
