MOSES MAKES ANNA WISE.
A Good Joke Told on Two Surrey People
By Our County Commissioner. A. y.
Swanson.

A. v. Swanson was in Minot
recently and told us good one.
He said he didn't know if it was
on himself or the other fellow.
His hens had been bothering
him all winter eating eggs. lie
tried numerous ways to break
them of the habit. He bought
eggs at SOC per dozen aud boiled
them four minutes and PLACED
them in the coops hot, made
nests with Stats SO that the eggs
would fall through ip a box be-
low; cut the bills off square on
some of the mems, and cut. the
bills off behind the ears on others
but still he got no eggs. until a
fat, rosy-cheeked, sleek-haired
fellow by the name of Moses
Wise, who had been staying with
him during the winter, saw 1T to
move onto his claim, when 10 and
behold, he got six eggs the first
day, several each day afterwards
and as high as dozen per day.
Now, he says, he dodn't care to
make a disturbance about it, but
somehow Moses best girl Anna
heard of it and proceeded to COR
rect him. Moses, Of course, de-
MED the charge, so they called
NEE ting of their relatives on
the 22nd day of March to set
tie it, The outcome was Moses
got clear and made Anna-Wise,
and thus were at the end of all
their troubles. All. yes! but at
which end of the troubles?
The Independent believes there
must be something in this, for
we recently noted that Amos
Wise and Miss Anna BLOCKER, of
Surrey, were married,

Benhold's Scheol Professor Gives Q q, N,
Detective information Which Gives
Her Citizens Spaslms.

Berthold is ia.an uproar just
at present and nearly all of the
'best" people of that thriving
little city are said to be mixed in
a sensational affair.
Some Lime ago a refrigerator
car containing liq uors and rubber
goods was burned at Berthold
but the energetic, thrifty people
of that village didn't want to see
everything in the car burn up,
SO reacued several barrels of wet
goods, pocketbooks, etc, from
the burning car, It is estimated
that not less than $500 worth Of
stuff was taken from the car to
the various homes, It was not
an uncommon sight to see some
fellow walking off with a box full
of rubber nipples, Another to
keep apace with his neighbor dis
appeared wi.h his arms full Of
pocket books, Several barrels
were rolled from the car and il
Was surprising to see how many
buckets could be collected in so
short a time. Everyone had
something to wet up their wistle
in the old town that night,
Now they wish they had let the
stuff go to blazes.
Wednesday afternoon Of last
week the car of Assistant Supt.
Walker drew up to Berthold, and
he stepped off to learn what he
could Of the missing stuff. Every
citize.l soon forgot all he knew
abont the matter and superln-
tendent was about to leave in
despair. The people Of Berthold
had not been talking of anything
but the affair for weeks, so when
Prof. Myer, the school teacher,
teacher, game home from his
days work, he entered the hotel
and not knowing who Walker
was, remarked: swell. got rid
of those pocket books. / sold one

said, "What pocket books?' The

Piled. why, the ones, taken from
the burning car" Walker asked,
did a car burn here?" The
professor. ever ready to impart
knowledge. then told Of the whole
affair and implicated everyone
in the deal, The assistant super,
intendent left town soon after
wards. for he had learned all the
information he was after. He
will return again, however, and
until that time people in Berthold
talk in wispers.
