Two of q Hind.

A beggar in London recently accost-
ed a man and whined, I'm paralyzed
in both 'ands, mister, an can't work,
for l can't grasp anything with 'em.
Could you spare me trif1e, mister?"
I'm deaf" replied the gentleman.
You'd better write down what you
want to say. Here's pencil and a
riece of paper"
Deaf, is it?" thought the beggar.
Then e didn't ear about the paraly-
SIS"
So he wrote down, 1--WE wife and
Six children starvin' at home, an ham
in 4 drefful state of destertushion. !"
He handed the paper to the man. who
said:
Il thought you said you were para
lyzed in both hands and couldn't grasp
anything; and yet you can write!"
Didn't you say yer were deaf?"
stammered the beggar.
Eyes, to find out if you were an i'm
loster, which you are, as 1 supposed"
replied the man.
We'll, of all the bloomin' frauds,
yer the biggest!" exclaimed the beg
gar. "The hidea of yer sayin' yer
were deaf, and tryin' to impose on a
poor feller!"
And he slluffled off, shifting the air
with righteous Indignation.

DUIS' TACTICS.

Mr.. Duis recently rescued from the
sherffs hands the decadent Plain
dealer, deeming it fit personal or
gan; in that opinion most intelligent
people agree.
In it's issue of the Sth inst, that
paper asked of Mr.. Dinnie certain
questions stating that his answer
thereto would be publiss..ed in its
columns.
Mr.. Dinnie answered these ques-
tons fairly and to the point, took them
to the editor who accepted and yet
retains them. The editor stated the
answers would be given the same
prominence as had been the questions.
After consultation with Mr.. Duis
or for some other reason the answers
of Mr.. Dinnie were not printed; these
answers were given place in our
columns.
The foregoing is Il fair illustration
of the disposition of the so-called in
dependent candidate for mayor; a man
ashamed of his party and who dares
not run in his true colors.

STORIES OF THE HOUR
She Didn't Need II.

A Boston lady had given her mar
ket man her daily order over the tele-
phone, and later in the day decided
to change it little and counter
manded an order she had given for
some liver.
Ringing up her market man, she
said:
''You remember that gave on order
for yound of liver a while ago."
YES" was the reply.
well, find that I do not need it,
and you need not send it,
Before she could put down the sre-
ceiver she heard the market man say
to someone in the store:
'Take out Mrs. Blanks liver. She
says she can get along without it."

NORTH DAKOTA'S INTEREST IN
CHINA.

No part of the county is so much
interested in the conditions prevalent
in China than the cereal producing
regions of the northwest.
That an awakening is coming in that
country is evident. Just how the giant
will act, once it is aroused, remains
to be seen. The spasmodic rioting
that has recently set the world on
fire with excitement is not an index to
the general conditions of the country,
or if the prevalent feeling of the peo-
rle towards foreigners. 1t rather in
dicates that foreign influences are get
ting foothold in the nation.
This foothold once acquired will
mean an Industrial evolution of the
leople.
A noted authority recently stated
that if the Japanese would adopt the
diversified foods of other peoples they
would in time acquire statures equal
to those of the white race. The state
ment Is based on reason.
Once the influence of the occidental
is established in the Monaghan en-
pire, there will be a change in the
food habits Of the people.
The Hindoo religion with which the
Chinese nation is tinctured, and its
kindred beliefs held by all Celestials, '
regards the eating of beef with about
the same aversion that cannibalism is
regarded by the civilized peoples. It
is not, therefore, to be expected that
these prejudices would be overcome
in a few years and the people of China
converted into meat eaters.
Z But because they are now and have
been for centuries an almost exclusive
vegetarian nation 1t will be easy

DUIS is DESPERATE.

At a meeting recently held Mr.. Duis
is reported to have said that the ex-
Tense of the water works department
for the year 1900 was $42,224.53 and
the receipts for the same year were
$16,909.S0, showing deficit of $685.
STATS; this was one of the years dur
ing which Mr.. Dinnie was mayor and
inasmuch as the foregoing is fair
sample of the lack of truthfulness or
absolute ignorance of MI Duis we
take it up for analysis
The figures given below are taken
directly from the report of the city
auditor; it is open for examination by
any citizen who may so desire and we
invite all interested in the question to
visit the offices of the city auditor and
look over this statement.
The total expenditures of the water
works fund for 1900 was $42, 22453,
just as stated by Mr.. Duis; to that
extent at least, he told the truth, but by
telling half truth with the intent TO
mislead, he was guilty of the greater
falsehood.
This total of s42,22453 is made up
of the following items: Paid for til
new 100000 gallon pump $14,50D, fer
setting the same, for new stack and
other permanent repairs properly
chargeable to construction $3,5S...31:
for redemption of land on which filter
stands $40; for repairs on filter,
$51.S5; cleaning filter, s1,16S.40; re-
sanding filter, $4,000; paid on water
certificates, which means paid for
construction of new water mains and
extensions of plant by crediting on
water certificates. s5,O4O.SO; this
makes a total expenditure for perman-
cnt improvements and upon the filter
of s26,29S.13, leaving a balance actual
eXrtnse Of operation CT water works
plant of s15,926.4O which is a great
way from the amount named by Mr..
Duis.
1t would seem that nothing but TIE
deliberate intent to mislead or a most
dense ignorance could have caussu
Mr.. Duis to make the statement quot
cd above. ...
The receipts of the water works de-
partment for 1900 aggrega .ei SlC,-
909.S0, showing balance Of receipts
over expenses of s9S3.4O instead Of the
$4,000 deficit asserted by Mr.. Duis.
In his wild desire for reelection
Mr.. Duis will apparently stop at moth
ing; he has no respect for himself and
still less for the intelligence of the
people Of Grand Forks.

to enlarge the variety Of their food
SO long as the character is not mater
tally changed.
This would mean that all the Amer
lean food forms of cereals could be
easily introduced into that country to
the advantage of the people who would
purchase them.
The erection of market for the
products of the farms of the north
west in country teeming with a
population like China would enlarge
the opportunities for selling our sur
plus. as we'll as many of the grains
which now find only an Indifferent
market because of their character.
The trade OF China would therefore,
under the changed conditions, create
a new market for North Dakota pro-
auctions.
Before this market is available,
however. the conditions and customs
of the people must change, and the
little leaven which has been at work
will be studied with interest.

TWO CAMPAIGNS.

In the morning sheet Phillip, drunk,
argues gravely and seriously to Phil
lip, sober, in a ridiculous attempt to
make that appear consistent which is
radically inconsistent.
Intoxicated with the frenzied de-
sire to disrupt the republican party
and to gain some personal advantage
for it's proprietor, as we'll as some
political and financial return to the
corporation. the Herald devotes a
column and a half of its space to
apologies and explanations for it's
hare faced treachery.
Not content with sopristry and
platitudes it makes apparently delib-
crate and actual bare faced misstate-
ments of fact.
Mr.. Duis in his career as an imita-
tive mayor has displayed no more of
nonpartisanship than did MIR. Dinnie
during the period he was mayor of
the city. .......
The majority of the appointees of
Mr.. Duis were the appointees of Mr.
Dinnie; this Is true both as to repub-
hcans and democrats. 1t requires an
astute mind to discover degrees of
on-partisanship here.
Mr.. Dinnie never thrust himself
rpon the citizens of Grand Forks as
a candidate for mayor; the memory
of the Herald, however convenient it
may be, must recall that out of the
four terms as mayor Mr.. Dinnie had
opposition but once and that time the
defeat to his opponent was over
whelming and his own selection most
triumphant; the Herald then, as now,
opposed Mr.. Dinnie's election and the
true condition today is that the per-
sonal organ OF the proprietor of the
Herald is seeking to mislead the in
telligent citizens of Grand Forks into
