AUGUST NELSON
WOULD MARRY
Wealthy Donnybrook Bachelor
Wants a Woman to Share His
Joys and S0rrOWs=--Is Willing
to Pay for Same=.-AppIied to
Judge Murray.

August johnson, a wealthy
Donnybrook farmer, called at
the office Of Judge Murray Fri
day and told the Judge that he
wanted a wife. Nelson explained
that he probably could have
found one himself, but he has
been very busy, in fact too busy
to think OF matrimony, but in
his leisure moments he longs for
a companion to share his Joys
and SORROWS.
The Judge explained that he
had a number ofwomen, young,
medium aged and old who them
selves longed for a helpmate,
and MIR. Nelson asked the price
for securing him a better half.
"Well, how old are you,?" the
Judge asked
81 am just thirty-fve years
DID," Nelson replied, and at that
the Judge looked astonished and
said he didn't look a day ove1
twenty-three." This made Mel
son smile out loud. (He's on
the shady side of fifty.}
The Judge went on, "Well
have a girl Of eighteen in view
who has an application for a
husband and of course she will
come high. Then there is a maid.
en- lady Of twenty.seven whom
can place at a reasonable figure
Then there is a third, a woman
Of siAty-ive and | think you car
get her for almost nothi0g."
Nelson studied awhile and said
he guessed he'd take the eighteen
year old, and a meeting was ar
ranged for the following day
The girl was on hand all right
but the absent minded Nelson
forgot his engagement until that
evening, and by the time he was
ready to cinch the bargain, the
girl, womanlike, had changed he1
mind.
Nelson considers this a real
mean trick.

days they used to give a man an
opportunity OF going to Texas
rather than be hanged, and they
generally chose the latter, and
showed good Judgment too"

To the Editor-In answer to
the letter that you printed from
Cedar Falls, written by Charles

ary Il, as far as the statement
about the weather running from
Sc to 60 degrees is a mista
The month of January was the

with the exception Of January
% when it was As degrees below.
Then it warmed up and thawed
more or less in the month OF

in February was 10 below. We
have had lots of snow, but when
they talk about the drifts being
from 8 to 80 feet-if they would
cut it down and say 8 to 3 feet
they would hit it better. The
mail carriers on the rural del;v-
cry made their trips every day,
and as far as people freezing to
death for the lack Of food and
fuel, there was no such thing.
Those frozen we're from careless
ness more than anything else.
There was a blockade and the
people got out OF kerosene oil,
but that was on account of the
company sending a tank II oil
on to Montana that was intend
ed for Minot.
I have lived here in Minot for
five years and there have always
been good crops. | think that
North Dakota is a good place
for a poor man that can't get a
home anywhere else. Minot has
grown to be about five times as
large as it was when | came here;
it is a town Of about 10, 900 pop
