Now that three violators OF the
North Dakota game law have
been brought to Justice, perhaps
the owners OF dogs will not be
out training them quite SO often.
Every true sportsman looks with
aversion to the killing OF game
out of season, and while the In
dependent is sorry to see any
man in trouble, these men can
expect little sympathy for their
acts. The hunters have been
warned by the press and only the
other week Deputy Game Warden
Champlin sent out dodgers and
announced through the press that
the violators OF the law would be
punished. State Game Warden
Hale states that in other parts
of the state there has been but
little trouble this season from
violators OF this law. Three hunt
ers were arrested in Towner
county. Ward county hunters
escaped last year without an ar
rest altho the law was violated
to a great extent. This will put
a quietude on the destruction Of
the birds for the time being.

He Stopped for Meals.

A year or SO ago when Presi-
dent Roosevelt was making a
trip thru the west each town he
passed thru he made some demon
stration in honor of the event.
The citizens of one town, where
the train schedule compelled the
President to remain eight ornine
hours, decided to make aholiday
of it when he arrived. They ar
ranged a series ofspeeches, horse
races, rope throwing and broncho
busting contests. One of the
cowboys was mounted on an
especially ill-tempered beast. He
caught the Presidents fancy on
account OF his daring and ability.
After doing his stunt he was
introduced to the chiefexecutive,
who comLlimeDted him on his
Craftsmanship and enquired: "Do
you ride all the time?" Every
body within hearing roared when
the plainsman replied, ''No |
stop for meals. Elk.

The success of the commercial
club Of Minot depends on just
what the club does for our city.
1t is nice to go to the rooms and
spend a few hours occasionally
reading, chatting with our friends
or playing a social game OF pool
or billiards. But there are more
important duties to perform,
which we should not neglect, in
connection with the club. We
can agitate the establishing OF a
Carnegie library. Ii the city will
give one-tenth Of the amount
that Carnegie gives for the library
for the maintenance of it yearly
we will have no trouble in getting
one in Minot. We can work up
a county fair and even a state
fair.

There is a wild beauty in the
forest; the hills and the water
have their charms: but the sun
shine is never so bright or the
winds so free as they are on the
rolling western prairies, where in
summer the wild flowers grow in
profusion and in winter the snow
flakes cover them. There is
something in the cool wind that
is soothing, restful and welcome
to the heart as spring to a
thirsting traveller, and there is
always something in the scene
suggestive Of peace and quiet.
The only sound that breaks the
stiffness is that of the tall prairie
grass bending before the light
breeze and whistling gently. One
may wander far away from his
native land, but though the new
sights are odd and strangely
beautiful there is always a heart
rending longing for that wild
wind, and that blue gray sky,
that solitude, the sense of wild
ness and freedom a longing that
never ceases until he comes again
to the home OF his heart the wild,
wonderful prairie.

In Minot the merchants Q

In Minot the merchants got
orders to keep the alleys clean,
and now they are throwing their
sweepings into Main Street.
That's like the little boy that
shoveled the snow OF the side
walk onto the porch.
The above was copied from the
Glenburn Advance. Now what
is the reason that Minot has to
stand the abuses Of the papers OF
the smaller towns. Certainly
Bro. Gilbertsen, you are notjeal-
Gus OF our fairlittle city, areyou?
True, the alleys are notjust what
they ought to be. The odor that
is sometimes emitted from them
does not remind one ofnew mown
hay but then as far sour streets
are concerned, they are cleaned
once every two years at least.

The Fargo Forum notes that
the weekly newspapers Of the
state are usually we'll edited and
interesting Journals. Advertis-
ers note tbefact that they usually
get value received for every cent
spent in advertising in a weekly
paper. The readers Of such pa
pers are usually farmers, who
have time to sit down after their
days work is done and peruse the
news OF the past week. They
read the paper, digest the news,
advertisements and all. A week
ly paper has a mission operform
and certainly it's influence should
be used for the right.

Jolly Boy and still owns him.
He also bought your saddle.
"Jolly Boy is now being driven
by a lady who is in earnest ac-

A very religious man ran a
clothing store. He always told
his clerks to do nothing that was
not warranted by the Bible. One
day he learned that a clerk had
charged a customer 50 for a $3.50
article and took him to task.
Can you think Of a Bible quo
tatioa,'' he asked, ''that would
warrant such conduct" The
clerk said he could and quoted
this: Behold he was a stranger
and I took him in. This was
not in MinOt however.
