Balzac inquired whether the child was

Likes Cellar Better Than Pit.

Harvesting potatoes comes ut a very
busy season for the diversified farmer.
For this reason have put my potatoes
into the cellar until the rush is a little
over. l like the cellar better than the
pit, for the reason that l have access
at all times and can take advantage of
any rise in the market. l can haul the
potatoes direct without any trouble of
uncovering pits. Then, too, after the
ground is frozen it Is a big job to open
the pit. have marketed my potatoes
several years with the thermometer
20 to % degrees below the freezing
point without any loss. This would be
impossible If potatoes had to be taken
out of the pit, says correspondent Of
Orange Judd Farmer.

TeIlin, His Nnme.

Lord Baltimore was formerly plain
David Plunkett. Shortly after he was
raised to the peerage he took a triH

company reserved carriage for his
private use. At some unknown hour
Of the night the door Of the carriage
was suddenly opened. A lantern was
flashed upon him, and a voice sharply
cried, "Votre nomf" C'Your nameYl
Lord Baltimore, Weakened out Of his
sleep, looking up in partly dazed
condition, discovered railway OF.

Rathmore's name was on the paper af-
fixed to the window, marking the corr

sired to identify the occupant Of Is
carriage with the person to whose I -
1t was inscribed. "Votre nom" 81
sternly repeated, seeing the passengl
hesitate. There sprang to Lord Rad'

Labor is a blessing, not a
curse. Earthly conditions make
it imperative for men to toll in
order to reach the highest posi-
b lie development. Again, the
busy people are the happiest.
Idleness is likely to lead to the
conditions which bring sorrow,
Cheerful, active labor is a means
of happiness. An old philoso-
pher once said, THE freely only
shines when on the wing" So
it is with us. When we are busy
we shine; when we are idle we
darken and detract from the
pleasure of living. TO every

It is known that the Pittsburg

well worked out and that much

surveyors are now working. OF

of Deer Creek township. Judge
Silyers appointed Attorney w.

transaction which Mrs. Sanders
had with a man named Rogers,

the woman's brother and secured
a deed TO the farm Of $50 acres.
DR.. Hall saw the motive back Of
the transaction and employed
Attorney Jackson TO bring suit
10 have the deed set aside.
Within three days after the
suit was filed Rogers decided the
land to a third party, but he was
too late and the farm will now be
saved 10 the original owner. 1t

1t is fortunate that parties

bic to do so, papers ought 10 be
sworn out for Rogers and bring

Second district, and the comparison is
more in favor OF change than ap-

above.
A comparative statement of the ex-
penses of the several commissioners
OF this county was published In the
Evening Times OF this city nearly two
weeks ago. and the expense in the
Second district compared with the cost
In the others. II there had been any
way in which Mr.. Schlaberg could
have accounted to the tax payers for
his excessive cost of the people, he has
had plenty OF time to give them an
itemized statement of the money re-

But noticed that within a day or two
after the publication OF that statement,
his cut appeared in the same paper and
has been carried ever since, and I am
reliably informed that It is paid for at
advertising rates. He must have no.

Last year he received from the coun-
ty $1.24S.25. There is no information
as to what is per deim and what is
mileage. The law allows 50 per day
and five cents per mile for travelling
expenses. Had Mr.. Schlaberg been en-
ployed every working day In the year
he could have received but 1899 from
that source, to have consumed the rest
of that item in mileage at five cents
per mile. he would have had to travel
on county business 6,305 miles. Now
as matter Of fact, he has not been
engaged In county business every day
in the year as will be verified by those
who have seen him around his business
place. Neither has he Travelled more
than six thousand miles in conducting
the county business, for he received
no mileage for attending the sessions
of the board because he lives in the
city. The tax payers Of the county

WHAT OF IT2

The Evening Times believes that
with a solid republican delegation in
the legislature from this county the
state fair is an assured thing for
Grand Forks for years to come. The
fight for securing it for Fargo would
in all probability not have been made
until the next session of that body
had it not been for the disposition
among those who are in a measure re-
sponsible for the election of the re-
publican ticket in this county tomor-
row, to knife the same and to assist
in the election of democrats even
where such a course was dangerous
to the prosperity of the city and the
county.
Fargo was not slow to realize that
the time to strike the blow had arrived
and that city has quickly
grasped the opportunity. Already CON-
binations have been planned with
other counties which desire to increase
their representation in the legislature
to trade the votes OF Cass county in
the republican caucus on the increased
apportionment of these counties for
the votes of number of these coun-
ties for the permanent location of the
state fair at that city. 1t must be re-
nembered also that Cass county can
trade number of times, giving her
twelve votes to a dozen other coun-
ties which are seeking increased
representation, and in each instance
1t will be possible to deliver the goods,
and by this action can gather into her
fold every county in the newer por-
ton Of the state. Look at the money
contributed to the fair last year by
