The following appeared in a North
Dakota newspaper, some time early In
the spring: at is reported that one Of
the newly married, fastidious ladies
kneads bread with her gloves on. This
seems strange, but there are others. The
editor of this paper needs bread with his
hat on; he needs bread with his shirt on;
he needs bread with his pants on, and
unless some Of the delinquent subscribers
of this old Flag of Freedom pony up
before long, he'll need bread without a
blamed thing on; and North Dakota is no
Garden of Eden in the winter time"

elderberry. It's fsmine-breaker in

The writer truly says that "many will
remember her because of some quiet
service rendered in a time of need. She

Franklin man who was short-changed at
the circus yesterday. An attache of the
show flashed lot of change in crowd of
people and wanted to know if any person
would accommodate him by taking $40
worth of it. The Franklin man produced
a $40 bill and handed 1t over to the fellow

Hon. A. W. Smiley, justice of the
peace at Foxburg, on the Allegheny
Valley division of the P. X. r., arrested
the conductor of freight train recently
for blocking crossing So minutes. Mr..
Smiley timed the train himself from his
office, and when 1t seemed as though
those who wished to use the crossing
would be obliged to wait much longer he
went to the agent and requested him to
have the crossing opened. The agent ap-
pealed to the conductor to cut his train
but he refused, at the same time insisting
the people go to warmer climate. Mr..
Smiley then placed the offender under
arrest and took him TO his Office where he
fined him $40. AS the man did not have
the amount of fine with him the Squire
allowed him to go on his own recogni-
zance, but at the same time he made out a
copy of the papers in the case and for
warded them to the railroad company.
