OLD AS EARTH ITSELF.
Il the Comparison Between Halistones
+ and Euus.

Il the Comparison Between Hal'stones
g'','. and Eggs.
There is some strange relation be
tween hailstones and poultry, or be.
tween hailstones and eggs, that fas.
cinates mankind. The hailstone may
be dodgeA, the egg should lodged, but
<he comparison between EailstOnes
and eggs never can be lodged. !: is
impossible to get away from it. When
ever there is a hailstorm, when ten.
der plants are cut to death and win
dow glass is shivered. the hailstones
are always the size of hens eggs.
Nobody ever heard Of a hatlstone the
size Of base balls, walnuts or potatoes,
or the size of a macadam rock, golf
balls, tomatoes or the fist, but ever
and always the size of eggs. Yet eggs
vary in size.
No chicken fancier would think OF
pointing to. a .cackling hen and saying:
"She lays eggs as big as hailstones.'
There really should be no compari.
son between hailstones and eggs. a
shower of hailstones is work of ma
ture. while shower of eggs is apt
to be a work of Miniature. A shower
OF. hailstones may be destructive. but
a shower Of eggs is positively insan.
ity The longer a hailstone stays on
earth the more inconspicuous 1t be
comes, while the longer an egg stays
on earth the more convinced we are
that it is here.

Good Way to Tear Down.

The city council Monday night
decided to raise the opera house
license from SO cents for each en-
tertainment to S.. The Indepen :
dent can hardly agree with our
city fathersin this. Minot, with
out her entertainments, would
be a very poor city indeed, and
it is no more than right that the
license should be wiped out en-
tirely. This is a good way of tear
ing down instead OF building up
our city.

1eW Years when the town had just
started, and she is much impressed
with the great changes that have
taken place in both the town and
country during the past 25 years
Nelson Burnside, an old settler in
McCrea, left last week to visit his old
home along the St. Lawrence river
in New York state Mr.. Burnside
is somewhat of a character. Though
residing but a few miles from town,
he seldom comes to town, and never
calls at the post office for mail Let
ters which occasionally come for him
must Invariably be returned or. sent
to the dead letter office.
Mr.. S. S. Wolcott, representing The
Unitype Company /, has beenssin the
city during the past week installing
a Simplex type setting machine, and
giving the necessary Instruction. for
operating the same. He has done
the work very satisfactorily, has
pumped every member of the force
from office boy up full of information
about the machine and it's different
parts, and we hope that when he
leaves everything will run .as smooth
ly as when he has been here. Time,
however, will tell that.
There has been considerable of "a
mix-up in the mail service in. the
western part of the county. The ru-
raj route which was to be established
north of Oslo on. the 18th did not:.ma-
terialize, as a carrier could mot be
secured. In anticipation of this SER
vice the post office of Vega and Eek
voll had been ordered discontinued,
but failure to establish the rural
route made it necessary for them TO
continue service, notice to this effect
having been received by the postmas-
ter after they had sent in their sup
plies They..are, however, doing the
best they can to serve the public.
Everything will soon be arranged ac-
cording to. the changed conditions.
