got twenty"
Twenty! Your benumbed with the
frost! My count is plain enough"
They were two young men and they
were playing cribbage in one of the
Third street cigar stores. There was
. dispute over the count, $40 was wag-

A Tough Customer.
Experience With q Crank In q Local
Barbershop Today.

One of the leading Grand Forks
barber shops caught a customer this
morning who proved to be a tough
proposition. He was business man
of about so. He had travelled some.
and his birth did not occur that day'
Also he was of his feed, and seemed
to be nursing secret anger. There
fore it was bad time to "cross" him.
The barber into whose chair he
climbed, wanted to be polite. He want
ed to suggest the mans needs to him
and so he said:
Your head is dirty, SIR
so are my feet"
This silenced the tonsorial artist for
a time. He kept on talking about the
weather, the 'punkness' of the ball
team, and the odd stories of the jags
and vags in police court After a
while he asked the man whether he
though hit the Heard had anymore
special correspondents at work.
This was too much. do think
the carrying capacity of a six inch
water main would be heightened by a
few extra pumps at the station?"
There was silence for time and
then the barber broke out with:
How will you have you hair trim
med, sir?" he asked to the silent man
In the chair.
Cut the hair long and talk short"
he said.
The barber figured out part of this
and went to work. The man didn't act
quite right So he thought he would
put out "feeler" as he clipped away.
What would you do If your great
est pleasure was in talking to people"
asked the barber.
Wear a muzzle."
And then the noise ceased.

Ordered Committed.

The board of insanity this morning
inquired into the condition of Mrs.
Peter Strand, who has been mentally
afflicted and after due examination
determined that she was a fit subject
for treatment at the state hospital for
insane at Jamestown. She was ac-
cordingly ordered committed. This is
the second time the unfortunate wo-
man has been thus afflicted. The first
time she was adjudged insane, she was
a large robust woman of probably 1870
pounds. Now she would not weigh
more than 118 or 1870. Her five weeks
old babe will be placed in hands
which will give it tender care. The
husband ia certainly entitled to SYM
pathy from both neighbors and
friends. Mrs. Strand was taken to
jamestown this afternoon by Sheriff
Turner and Mrs. Hespe.

The Morrill, Is Sold.

Hotel Morrill,. the new hotel re-
Gently opened in Minot, has changed
hands. Nathaniel Elliott has sold his
interest to G. G. Bagley of Cogswell,
n. D., who took charge yesterday. Mr..
Bagley was proprietor of the Bag!ey
hotel at Cogswell and is we'll known
among the hotel men in the northwest
and North Dakota. Mr.. Elliott sold
his interest on account of poor health.
The confinement of hotel work did not
agree with him and he will probably
seek rest in the country in the hope
that his former strength will return.
The Morrill, hotel was opened early
in the spring and is one of the largest
hotels in Minot.

take place which do much to relieve
the grind of the railroad employees

happened close to this city last even
ing as the Flyer drew near to the city

A woman and four children who had
come through Minneapolis from the

every fifteen minutes and when the
porter had carefully brushed them for
this last time the mother turned and
said:
you have been very attentive to us
during this trip and wish to reward
you"
YES Um."
What is your name?" she asked as
she took out pencil and a note book.

She wrote for minute on one of the
leaves of her book and then tore It
out and handed 1t to him with the re-
mark:
"A colOred man who is ambitions to
get along will always find friends"
The Times reporter caught the negro
In the vestibule few minutes later
and when told of the incident, asked to
see the paper. 1t read:

for breath.

The Summary.

..a niHmeo SiSA. 2:2o1s. 2:lsA, 2::OA,
The Fargo track is new and soft,
hence fast time was out of the ques-
ton.
Commenting upon the performance
of the little mare the Fargo Morning
Call of today says:
THE $3.50 pace was won by Della
Downey, owned by Larry Downey of
with apparent ease. the fastest heat
being in 2:21, which is fast for that
class on that track. Many of the wise
ones think this mare can turn good
mile track in 2:16, which seems rea-
sOnable."
The following turf notes from the
Call will be of interest to horsemen:
Secretary Wilson had the honor of
starting the first race on the new
track-and he's a good official. too.
While Crimson King only shows as
finishing fifth in the third heat of the
2:30 pace, 1t must be remembered that
he started very bad eighth, so that
he must have paced the mile faster
than the winning horse-and the heat
was in 2:21h. Separately timed he
made the mile in 2:20k.
III Mixer was as steady as some of
the horses in his class he would make
1t procession. with Mixer at the
head. He has wonderful burst of
speed.
Baby Lou didn't take kindly to the
track.
Hattie Wilkes cut her quarter seri-
ously. but went out and won the race,
nevertheless.
"A better pleased audience has sell
dom left race track than that which
left the state fair grounds yesterday.
Keep your eye on Della Downey.
