AS a last resort, arrangements were
made 10 have Mr.. Barth meet the
only woman in America who could
come up to his standard-Miss Rosa
Wcdsted, the Finnish giantess, also
with the circus.
Miss Wedsted Is exactly seven feet
tall, and while not exactly a beauty,
she has pleasant face. She is a dis
tinCt blonde, while Mr.. Barth Is the
opposite.
Miss Wedsted, when approached on
the subject, at first was diffident. She
Is, strange TO say, extremely sensitive
about her height She feared an ad-
vertising scheme" of some sort. but
was assured that Mr.. Barth was not
connected with any circus or side
show, and, in fact, had never yearned
to be billed" as a giant. So finally
the giantess consented to meet him.
Mi. Barth Fled.
The day arrived. George Anger, who
looks down on little folks of seven
feet, was to make the introduction. The
little group, including Col Anger,

assembled in a room at Madison Square
Garden. Across the room Miss We'd
steu was in little ante-chamber ar
ravlng herself for the meeting that
might be so fraught with importance
to both the interested parties.
Suddenly Mr. Barth remembered tina,
he was in a hurry and, eXcusing him
self, fled iucontinently.
Was it bashfulness? Who knows ?
The lady was disappointed, anyway.
When MIR. Barth was q years of
age he was as tall as he is to-day.
His father is Maj. Gen. Barth who

serious one. In

Such is the painful position of Aug

Somewhat sensitive on the subject
himself, Mr.. Barth has found that
maidens who have won his heart are
even more so.

asserted she looked so small beside
him that they attracted attention on
the street.

Now he insists that the companion
OF his honeymoon must be at least SIX
feet seven inches in height. He says.
''She need not be rich, she need not
be beautiful. She need not even be
quite so young as | am. All | ask is
that she be at least six feet seven

THE DEMOCRATIC RALLY
Messrs. Burke and Burr Addressed the
Faithful Last Night at the Open
ing Rally.

Every republican in the state OF
North Dakota should have had ting
ling sensation about the ears along
about $3.50 last night, If there is any
truth in the old saying, for there were
people talking about them something
awful.
The talking" occurred in the opera
house and the occasion was the open
ing of the democratic campaign.
John Burke, democratic candidate
for governor, and A. G. Burr of Bot
tineau, candidate for congress, were
underlined.
The Eagles band stirred things ur
on the streets early in the evening and
later in the operahouse, where a
small crowd of the faithful had gath
cred.
The meeting was called to order by
w. A. Scott, who spoke briefly and then
introduced John Burke.
Mr. Burke is an able speaker and he
was enthusiastically received. In adj
dition to scoring the republican ad-
ministration of affairs in North Da-
kota, the speaker told how he would
manage the state if by any chance he
should be elected governor.
Mr.. Burr's address was confined to
national politics. He took advantage
of the opportunity to pay glowing
tribute to President Roosevelt.
Before the close of the meeting a
resolution of thanks to Governor John
son of Minnesota for the part he had
taken in bringing about a reduction
in freight rates was adopted.

There are other material improve
ments under consideration which are
being stimulated by the local CONNER
cial club which is a very lively organi-
zation fully alive to the natural ad-
vantages of the town and country
tributary so that Washburn bids fair
to become commercial center of the
state some day to be reckoned with in
business circles, a place worth culti-
waiting by manufacturers and whole
sale merchants in the state.
Live Stock and Horses.
To stimulate the business of rails
ing live stock and horses leading men
at Washburn and vicinity have sub

and establishment of the Mclean
County Fair association which is to
give an exhibition this fall. The Sec
rotary is Editor Hogue of The Wash
burn Leader. During the past two
years much has been done in the way
of farmers securing the nucleus of
herds Of pure bred stock and consid-
|erable attention is being paid to the
improvement in the breeds of draught
horses. There is not the vast extent
Of free range as there was before the
invasion in late years of the vast
army of new settlers, hence the neces-
sity of much smaller herds and that
being the case farmers see altogether
better and more satisfactory results in
