That's Smith, the pleased man in
the flannel shirt on the load of hay.
His young wife is in the buggy. He
built a house and put in a good crop,
and all in one year, his first in North
Dakota. He raised wheat, fax, oats
and corn. He makes hay at the price
of cutting the rich natural grass he
found on his land. He has an album
dance of the best water and pays S1.25
a ton for coal. He likes his neigh
bors, they like him and they are all
growing rich together. Yet he made
all this fine beginning on a small sum
of money-a sun so small as to be
useless in Illinois, where he used to
live. But he was an Industrious, de-
termined man, bound to be his own
boss.

Smith? Iy you aren't-if you are

Seed Corn and Cigars.

A note from our friend II. w. Rog-
ness at Hudson, who recently pur-
chased the Olson g. White stock of
general merchandise, says among
other things: ''Set my seed corn sam
pie aside until | come up, and take
particularly good care of my half box
of cigars. l will soon relieve you of
their care" We can assure him the
corn is safe and the cigars too, but he
has more faith in editors than most
people, if he thinks an open box of
cigars in a print shop would not eyap-
crate some, especially when such
smokers as John Toilefson and other
Norwayites come around. 1t was
currently reported by those who
ought to know that Mr.. Rogness did
MT smoke and some of the boys thot
| it would be just to awfully mean to
lead him into temptation now. Tom
iThackeray thought it would be a
sin" and Tom Ulrikson said: tempt
not a christian" However our bill
for storage and care and the strain
we have gone through in resisting
temptation shall not exceed the value
of the cigars over n half. Mr.. Rog-
ness reports business good and every
thing coming his way but the cigars.
If he wants to know how near he
came to death he can lind out by
asking Judge belong and B. b.
Wright who were presented the other
half of the cigars by Comrade Trip
who won them, and when a veteran
smoker of the grand army turns his
back on half a box Of cigars, it is safe
to assume that Jersey Lightning

CRAWFORD AT MILBANK.
The Meeting Was One of the
Most Enthusiastic Ever
Held in North Part
OF State.

A special from Milbank under date
of March "a, says: Hon. Coe l. Craw-
ford, candidate for the republican
nomination for governor, was greeted
in Milbank by a demonstration which
is rarely ~equalled in political cam
paigns for enthusiasm and evident
genuine heartineSs. Not withstand
ing the very cold and inclement
weather, practically every seat in the
spacious Bentley Grand opera house
was occupied. The audience included
a large number of farmers who had
come from as far distant as twenty
five to thirty miles, and had the
weather been better and the roads
not so rough, the opera house would
not have contained the crowd. Mr..
Crawford arrived from the west on
the ten o'clock morning train and
during the day met pleasantly with
numbers of old acquaintance and
made a large number of new ones.
The especial event OF the day, how
ever, was the arrival On the afternoon
freight train from the west of a dele
CATION of farmers, business men and
professional men, numbering about
one hundred or more: from the west
ern part of the county around Sum-
nit. Upon alighting from the train
they formed in double column and
marched the length of Main street on
one side and back on the other side.
One banner bore the state motto,
"Under God the People Rule" An
other declared for Equal Taxation"
while another called for "Coe l. Craw-
ford for Governor" This large dele
cation which came from a distance of
% to 30 miles, produced a profound
impression.
1t required no brass band to bring
out an audience in the evening. The
announcement that Mr.. Crawford
would speak was sufficient to fill the
building.

A Nice Surprise.

A large number of ladies and gen
tlemen drove out to the home of Arne

for the purpose of giving Miss Olena

young lady, who has just recovered
from a years sickness. All enjoyed
themselves and the surprisers present
ed the young lady a handsome sum OF
money as a remembrance of theil
