There is getting to Reconsider
! able inquiry for pure seed wheat
Of the macaroni variety. A large
number of our farmer friends are
going to devote their entire wheat
acreage to the cultivation of
macaroni the coming season, be-
lieving it to be a good thing,
and, as such, cannot be kept
down by the combined craftiness
OF the milling and elevator inte-
rests. -Bowbells Tribune.
In another column OF the In
dependent is a list OF the mer-
chants of Minot who have agreed
on an early closing hour. This
is certainly a matter OF congrat-
ulation. It will afford leisure to
merchants and employers which
they can have as we'll as not dur
ing this time OF the year. And
the general public can easily ac-
comodate themselves to the new
arrangement. Minot is only
following the example OF other
cities and wide-a-wake towns,
who regularly adopt this plan as
soon as the holiday trade is over.
There has been complaint that
the early clossin hour has not
been observed by every merchant
in other winters when the plan
has been trsed, that some have
forgotten that their signature
was given to a written agree
ment and could not honorably
! be broken. 1t is certainly to be
hoped that there will be no such
violation this winter and, should
it occur, that merchants will not
make it an excuse to open their
stores but wait until the offender
meets the just deserts of the pub
lic-whO want to see fair play
and believe the early closing hour
is for the best interests Of the

Who Lacks Brains?

Matt Poos, a man in Minot,
wants the 500 railroad to pay
him-for his lack of brains. He
tried to run his team across the
track in front OF an engine-and
got caught. Poor fool.
The above was printed in the
Kenmare News and why that
paper thinks Matt is lacking in
gray matter. we do not under
stand. A man with as many
brains as Daniel Webster can't
see thro a brick building, and
this is just what one must do,
or risk being run over by the
500 trains.

A wonderful Pigeon.

have been informed by our
friend and neighbor, Mr.. w. E..
Webster, of the most wonderful
pigeon l ever heard of which took
up with Grey Jug, one of his fine
racers, last summer at Richhill, Mo-,
while he was there racing his
horses. Grey Jug having won a
race, 1t seems as though the pigeon
knew it from the way it acted, fly
ing to the horse and alighting on
its back and riding it to his stall.
The pigeon chung to this horse the
whole season, going from Richhill
to Carthage, Holden, Bolton and
Joplin, Mo-, Taola and Parsons,
Kansas, and Memphis, where there
was all kinds of horses. But this
wonderful bird still chung to Grey
Jug, and when a stranger entered
his stall would ruffie up his teath-
ers and make a muttering noise as
though it was angry. Grey Jugs
keeper could always tell when a
stranger was around, from the pc
culiar noise this bird made. Every
time the cars were being loaded to
go from one city to another the
bird was always there and made its
way to Grey Jugs stall. Following
them on to Union City, it still chung
to Grey Jug and roasted on his
back every night till few days ago,
when Mr. Webster went to mis- barn
real early, and to his great sorrow,
found this poor pigeon lying in
Grey Jugs stall, dead. Mr.. Web
ster had become attached to this
bird and would not have sold it at
anv price. | am somewhat a be-
