Sober Consideration Needed.

A whole lot of us have gone crazy
over the tariff-following in the lead.
ership OF few politicians who mere.
ly want to work themselves into some
office and who may know nothing at
all about tariffs, nor about labor and
wages.
As a matter Of sober fact, there was
never a time when the tariff question
needed more careful consideration at
the hands OF our lawmakers than now.
We are up against competition not
from Europe merely, but from the
Orient also.
There Is hardly a thing that our
workmen are now doing for us at good
wages that the japanese cannot do
for us more cheaply, but shall we
shoot or starye our own workmen?
AS for ourselves We are still In
favor OF looking after our own family,
believing that the nation which will
not look after its own household first

Next morning. the city editor looked
over his shoulder and saw her sitting

Although taken by surprise, and some
what embarrassed, he lost no time In
laying before her the proposition he
was empowered to make. She accept

closed; but not until he had re-
venged himself upon her for some Of
the follies she had, unconsciously, led
him to commit, by the following ma
licious catechisation: Does tobacco
smoke make you sick?" do you
scream II you chance to see a mouse?"

all the reporters into a train Of spe-

WAKE UP NEXT MORNING"
Not in Twin Cities but in Grand Forks
George 4. Bangs Did Not Go
Neither did the Train.

Attorney George A. Bangs went to
Bismarck last evening to attend the
session of the Supreme court. Mr..
Bangs's friends are telling good
joke in which he participated as one
of the principals. Saturday night half
a hundred people bound for south
ern points boarded No. 10 on the Great
Northern while it lay at rest at the
depot. Train men stated that it would
not pull out on time but. could not
say how late it really was. Mr.. Bangs
who was one of the number crawled
into a birth on the sleeping car and
was soon lost in the maZes of intricate
Morpheus.
When he awakened yesterday morn
ing ship No. 10 was still moored' at
the Grand Forks dock. Forthwith the
aggrieved person stepped out for a
lunch vowing he would stick to the
helm until the ship went down.
The plot at this point deepens and
contains variety of action and char
acters. While away on his victual
snatching trip the machinery was set
in motion and Mr.. Bangs after short
sprint was forced to admit that the
days of his footracing career were
past.
But as Lord Byron says "All who joy
would win must show it; happiness
was born twin" Mr.. Bangs was not
the only one to suffer from the long
wait at the depot. A student Of the
university was another of the pas
sengers to board the train Saturday
night. He asked Jim Hills transport
tation service to get him to the univer-
sity. Z 9'
The young fellow sat down in seat
expecting every moment to see the
train in motion. But no, such was
not in store. He waited and waited
until the gray streaks of dawn kindled
in the eastern horizon and then set
out on foot to traverse the two miles.

FRANK KENT IN new ROLE

Frank Kent, the we'll known jeweler,
had an experience with what he
thought was case of frozen water
pipes. When Frank arrived at the
store this morning the water refused
to come. Mr.. Kent is considerable of
a plumber, and when it was suggested
that a plumber be called in to loosen
the liquid, the advisor was advised to
keep quiet, that he (Kent) could do
the work. Procuring his clothes
which he reserves for just such oc-
casions, he got to work. With .
candle and lamp he crawled under the
building, over into the farthest cor
ner, wheye the pipes would be most
likely to freeze Then for three hours
there came shouts from that part Of
the building, such as bring me an
other CANDLE" want more gasoline"
etc. A gasoline blow pipe was among
the tools being used. Finally he gave
the job up in disgust 1t was then
that some one put Kent next" The
water had been turned of.

Rugby Tribune: Attorney G.. L.

bookcases for the placing of his large
law library, and besides adding very
materially TO the appearance of his
office, the dust proof case furnish
fine place for his books. With the
large additions which Mr.. Witttemore
has made to his library during the past
year, he now has one OF the finest lib
raries west of Grand Forks, and he
is justly proud OF this fact.
