overcoats such as are now being worn
to Kansas City by Northwestern stock

thrilling Misunderstanding hunting yarns

winters necessity for men out of
doors, trapping and killing wolves ana
coyotes for their skins Is quite an in
dustry and is followed with profit by.
hunters. Many Of them are Indians
who are skilled in the use of the
needle and scissors and realize the
full profit on the garment by making
1t themselves to the customers order.
The best wolf-skin coats sell for $3.50,
and none for less than $780, The legs
of the pelt can not be used and for a
large coat ten skins are required.
Extreme care must be taken of the
coats in summer, however, to keep the
moths out of the fur. They are heay-

and remain rain-proof even after days
of exposure.
E. w. Hart Of Brock, Neb., who was
at the Blossom House one night >re-

there was one attached to each of the
many skins 1t was made up of.

Mr.. Hart, and "and was six years in

Lie Is SO snort;
There is SO much of pain
Filling the heart.
Life it fades swift away,
Like a bright dream;
Like a bright summers day
Borne on Times stream.
Life it is sad enough,
Love as we may;
And the way dark and rough,
Fen, meath its ray.
Then let us be briends again,
Time will not wait;
oh. let us be friends again.

The most brilliant function that has
ever taken place in Mimic, North Da-
kota, was on Wednesday evening,
) when the Appolo lodge Knights of
Pythias of that city gave their annual
ball at the Mimic opera house. The
ball room was beautifully and artis-
tically decorated in the X. of K. colors,
red, yellow and blue. The colors were
carried out in the flowers as we'll as
in the hangings. Dozens of red roses,
lilies and quantities of evergreen were
used with artistic effect. The scene
was one of gorgeous splendor, with the
brilliant lights, bright colors and elab-'
crate gowns of the ladies.
Foresters hall was used for the BAN
quet hall and here the X. of P. color
scheme was carried out also in the
decorations, eve nto the gowns of the
young ladies who assisted in serving
the banquet. The menu of the ban
quet was elaborate and was served in
courses. The grand march headed by
the Uniform rank Knights of Pythias,
was held by our own handsome towns
man Col. Frank Hanson, and never be-
fore they say, did he look, in his uni
form, so splendid.
Colonel Hanson, they say, has never
missed the annual ball of the knights
of Pythias at Mimic in twelve years
and has always led the grand march,

present. The committees who had

than some persons realize. In build

should be carefully considered.
Another point that is often over

is for utility, while too
many sideboards are designed more
