Blaine and His Hostess csie.

Blaine and His Hootess' G1'e.
About twenty-seven years ago the
late James g. Blaine was invited to
dine in q certain city in eastern Maine
where he happened to be on business.
His host had recently married q sec
ond wife, more noted for beauty and
wealth than for intelligence. It was
near the middle of March, and a storm
was coming on, which, the husband re-
marked, would probably be the equi-
noctial gale.
''What do you mean by that? Is 1t
the same as the line gale?" she asked.
The husband replied in the adirma-
tive, and in reply to further questions
told her it was usual to expect .
storm twice a year. when the sun
crossed the equinox.
'"That day at dinner" said Mr..
Blaine, Il remarked upon the severity
Of the storm and my hostess, with an
engaging smile, replied: Yes, Mr..
Blaine, isn't it singular that we Al
ways have such a fearful storm when.
ever the sun crosses the Penobscot?'
Before I could frame reply my host
in Z tone Of mild surprise exclaimed:
You don't mean the Psnobscot dear.
and she at once said: oh, no. How
stupid Of me! I meant the Andros-
coggin.' Boston Herald.

St. Petersburg, May 16.-The widely

Some of the Burleigh county farmers
were evidently from Missouri-as they
went to Montana to see how irrigation
worked.
There is a hot fight between the
towns Of McCumber and Rolette, both
of which hope to be the county seat
of Rolette.
The farmers predict the biggest
crop of straw this year since 1891.
That means more twine and husky
men to do the shocking.

The proposition to establish a
machine and extensive repair shop
in Caldwell is gaining favor as peo-
pie reflect on the advantages. No
one questions the need of such an
establishment, but, naturally, ueo-
pie are conservative about putting
money into business of which they
have no personal knowledge. How
ever. number Of the leading bu-
siness men have subscribed for
stock, and it is believed that the
moderate amount asked for will
soon be forthcoming. Mr.. Good
win, who is promoting the enter
prise. is an all-around frst-class
mechanic and an expert macninist.
He is the inventor of the most sue
cessful sage brush grubber ever

he will be able to build up an in
stitution here that will be vastly
beneficial to Caldwell and all the
surrounding country.
