the fashion items Of local contempt
rary, is the Evelyn collar. The next

necktie.
A prominent farmer pushes a button
In the house and dumps his horses
feed in the Manager. The device, how
ever, appears to be incomplete. Why
not have another button for the horse
to press in case 1t wants some more?

Langdon Republican: Devils Lake
is after the state fair and wants Far
go and Grand Forks cut out. Why
not just add another wheel to the state
fair vehicle and cart it out to Devils
Lake every third year. North Da-
kota's idea of successful state fair
seems to be to cart It around the
state, and II that idea Is correct an
extra haul or two ought to make it
just that much better.
Why no make 1t five places. Ojata
and Shurmeier are suggested.
The revolving story told by Evelyn
Nesbit Thaw on the witness stand
ought to teach mothers and giddy
young girls a valuable lesson. Play
ing with sin always makes trouble,
and both the mother and the
daughter cannot have been insensible
to the fact that they were pursuing
a course that led downward to perdi-
tion.-Warren Sheaf.
Grafton Record: Bart has a car
toon in the Minneapolis journal which
Is labeled, "You can't keep a good egg
down." We would like to suggest to
the distinguished cartoonist that you
can't keep bad egg down either.
A farmer and his wife decided to
weigh a pig and had no scales. The
man weighed 100 pounds and his wife
139 pounds. They put a board across
the fence SO that when sat upon each
end Of the board 1t exactly balanced
Then they exchanged places, the wife
taking the pig on her lap. How much
did the pig weigh?
Rockefeller's income is only twenty
millions. But as no man in the
United States can spend honorably
more than the president, Mr.. Rookie
Teller must save 19,050,000 a year, so
that in two years he can save enough
out of his income to more than provide
for the Immense" gift of thirty-two
millions to education.-St. Paul Dis
patch.
Texas will have to pay more than
$4,000 for it's investigation of Senator
Bailey's transactions with the Stand
ard Oil company. It would have paid
Texas to have dropped Bailey without
insisting ON having the facts.
Granting that the cent rate bill
Is the proper thing, lower freight
rate would save dollars to this state
where the passenger rate doesn't save
cents.
There were 1880 railroad casual
ties to passengers and employees in
the United States during the three
months ending Sept. 30, 1906. The
number of passengers and employees
killed in train accidents was 267.
Occasionally one will hear the re-
mark, II wish I was out of this town"
and then one feels like saying, II wish
you were," for a man who stands on
the street corners chewing and spit
ting, telling obscene stories, cursing
the town, finding fault with his grand
mother because she was a woman,
claiming that the merchants are a
lot of thieves, that the lawyers and
newspaper men would skin man to
a finish and whole lot more, is a
nuisance and an abomination, say an
exchange. A growler and sorehead in
a town is an enterprise killer every
time. 1t would pay the town to do
nate him IS and tell him to move.
