MAN ABOUT TOWN

The travelling men who make North
Dakota towns are a jolly lot and al
ways ready to help along any good
cause. Most of them would put up
their last nickel to help along any
worthy enterprise. Better Judges of
beef steak cannot he found in any
other occupation.
Like other mortals, the travelling
man has his ups and downs, but he
gets so used to it that when he takes
seat In the smoker he is ready to

spring eternal on its wings. The other
day at Bisbee. two travelling men
hired livery to drive to town IL
miles west. One of the travellers
placed two grips in the back end of
the rig and thinking that they were
safe, proceeded to the new town.
When about half mile from town,
the end board came out and the grips
fell out on the road, but they were
not missed until the end of the trip.
Just imagine the feelings of that
young travelling man when he found
that his grips were gone and he near
ly froze stiff with the cold. The liv-
eryman had provided foot warmer"
but only put in piece of coal about
the size of stick Of black candy and
the thing was about as much good as
chunk Of ice. The young travelling
man purchased piece of coal, put it
IN the foot warmer and they started
back to Bisbee. When about two miles
from Bisbee they met an "honest"
farmer who had picked up the grips
when he was going in town and had
left them at the Gazette office. He
only charged the travellers $500 for
telling him where the grips were and
acted as though he was doing the

Into the hotel and demanded full pay

thought he ought to stand half Of the

was obdurate and threatened the law.
In order to save law suit and an
expensive delay. the travelling man
paid an unjust bill. That liveryman
lost more than ten times the amount

the Times mans mind whether the

Getting It Down Fine.

Chauncey Olcott is quoted for this
good story: Last summer was one
OF the guests at millionaire's dinner.
The millionaire was free spender,
but he wanted full credit for every
dollar put out.
And, as the dinner progressed, he
told his guests what the more expen-
sive dishes had cost. He dwelt es-
pecially on the expense of the large
and beautiful grapes, each bunch a
foot long, each grape bigger than a
plum. He told, down to penny, what
he had figured it out that the grapes
had cost him apiece. The guests look

Seventy.Niner Talks Of Early Days.
Carl Kruger, one of the old-timers
who located at Euclid in 20 and was
In business there several years later,
Is spending a few weeks In Crook
ston during the dull season. He owns
several farms near Key West and
spends the greater portion Of his time
there in the summer, with his tenants.
He has several houses and lots in
Crookston which also requires some
Of his attention. In conversation with
representative of the Times this
morning Mr.. Kruger stated that there
had been many changes in Crookston
since he first struck the town q years
ago. At that time nut few of the
trees had been disturbed which now
mark the site of the downtown dis
trict, and the few buildings that were
in evidence then faced the Great
Northern tracks, being located on
what was knowD as Front street at
that time. Mr.. Kruger has many ex-,
periences of the early days which are
of interest to the nld-timers in this
section and his visits to Crookston
are thoroughly enjoyed by his many
friends.-Crookston Times.

In Bad Condition.

Crookston Journal: An individual
claiming to be from Grand Forks APP
peared at the police station this morn
ing and asked for aid to get to Mel
rose, where, he says, his wife is stop
ping. He had one eye bandaged up
and his face was scratched in terrible
shape, looking as if he had been
through a threshing machine. When
asked what the trouble was, he said
that he had got into family row with
his father-in-law and brother in-law
and they had put him in the sorrow
full condition in which he appeared.
Just why they should have occasion to
put him out Of business he did not
say, but that their method was very
effectual was conclusively proved by
the condition of his face. The city Of
ficials said that they could not do any
thing for him, as he was beyond their
Jurisdiction, but they directed him to
the county auditor, who would be the
only person who could give him aid
If he was entitled to aid at all.

A DIFFERENCE
IN LUNGS.

In the Edinburgh Uni
versity three human lungsiie
side by side. One is of an
Eskimo and is snow white.
In life, this would be ruddy
with rich blood Another is
that of a coal-miner and is
black. The other IS of a town
dweller and is a dirty slate
gray, as are the lungs of most
city residents. That's why
consumption thrives in cities.
One reason why SCOTS
Emulsion does SO much to
keep down consumption is
because it helps to keep the
lungs clean and supplies
them with rich, red blood. 1t
makes the lungs germ-re-
sisting. If the body is run

ebb SCOTS Emulsion will
build it up quickly and per-
manently.
