Recognized Him All Right.

Here is an old one that appeared
in the Fargo Forum. Where they
stole it, we don't know, but it is
good enough to republish anyhow:
A well known Fargo lawyer, who
formerly resided in Ohio, says that
many years ago he went west, but
as he got no clients and stood a
good chance of starving to death, he
decided to return east. Without
any money he boarded train for
Cincinnati, intending to seek en-
poyement as reporter on one ofthe
daily papers. When the conductor
called for his ticket he said. 49,
Il am a reporter of The Enquirer
at Cincinnati. I suppose you will
pass me?''
The conductor looked at him
sharply.
1.-THE editor OF The Enquirer is in
the smoker; come with me; if he
Identifies you it is all right 49,,
He followed the conductor into
the smoker; the situation was ex-
planned. The editor said: - Pr.
oh, yes, I recognize him as one
OF the staff; it's all right, 49, 49,
Before leaving the train the law
yer again sought the editor
why did you say you recognized
me? I'm not on your paper" H. >:
I'm not the editor, either. I'm
travelling on his pass, and was
scared to death lest you should give
me away" ,r...

Townships Take Notice.

~" AS11xRS 1C1A0 NOOkCOs
The last legislature madea change
in the law governing the election O!
town officers. The change was
made to regulate the boards of sup
ervisors and prevent the election O
a full board each year. In the fu'
ture each town board will have some
members who have served one OF
more years, and, consequently, be
more familiar with the business o]
the town than a board composed
wholly of new members would be.
The new law reads as follows:
'Section 928. There shall be
elected in the year of 1904, at the
annual town meeting in each town,
three supervisors, one for three O.
years, one for two (2) years, and
one for one (D year. The number
of years for which each is elected
shall be indicated on the ballot, and
one shall be designated and known
as chairman. At each annual town
meeting thereafter one supervisor
shall be elected for three years to
fill the place of the one whose term
expires at that time.''
The justices of the peace are
elected for two years, but the
other officers are elected for one year
