Will Head Off Dead Beats.

On the first Of the year, Minot merchants
and business men in general, will enter into
an agreement, whereby all dead beats will be
refused further credit at any Of the places of
bosiness which sign the agreement, until all
debts owed to any of those concerns are liqui-
dated. The merchants will be asked to put up
a good sized forfeit, in case any should grow
chicken hearted and break over the rules
This of course will not effect the honest man or
woman, and will have a tendency to head off
the dead beats-of which there are good many.
The honest man will be glad to hear that this
rule is to take place, and the dead beat-wel,
he will have to pursue some other course. The
honest man has been paying the bills for the
dead beats long enough in Minot Little book
lets will be published to distribute among the
merchants, in which the dead beats will be
listed, also those marked SLOW" and those who
are listed as gilt edged A paid secretary will
KEEP the business in good order. This has been
tried in other cities with excellent result. This
will not in any wise effect the honest man. who
will be able to receive as many or more favors
than ever, and will prove splendid thing for
the business men.

l. Thou shalt not wait for something to
to turn up, but thou shalt pull off thy coat
and 60 to work that thou mayest prosper in
thine affairs and make the word failure spell
"success."
2 Thou shalt not be content to go about
thy business looking like bum, for thou
shouldst know that thy personal appearance is
better than letter Of recommendation.
g. Thou shalt not trv to make excuses,
nor shalt thou say to those who chide thee, 81

4. Thou shalt MT wait to be told what
thou shalt do, nor in what manner thou shalt
do it, for 9hus may thy days be long in the job
which fortune hath given thee.
5. Thou shalt not fail to maintain thine
own integrity, nor shalt thou be guilty OF any
thing that will lessen thy good respect for thy
self
6. Thou shalt not covet the other fellow 8

When you hear any one complaining about

the following and let him figure out how far
the conditions mentioned are true in his case:

mentioned the fact. The dealer went to his
book and found this to be true. But" said
the dealer, nv book shows that you did not
pay cash for it because you did not have the
money. You hauled i'll 300 bushels OF corn,

The successful candidate for the U. S. SEN
ate in North Dakota will have to spend lot of
money this year. According to the primary
election, the successful candidate must receive
forty per cent of all the votes cast at the prim-
airy election, when the legislature will cast their
votes according to the wishes of the voters at
the primary. OF course they could go directly
against those wishes, but they would be nothing
short of scoundrels to do so. In case no candi-
date receives forty per cent of all the votes cast
at the primaries, then the two highest will
fight it out in the legislature. As there are al.
ready five candidates for the Senate with
chances for some more, it hardly seems probable
that anyone of them will receive the necessary
forty per cent of the votes.

 In Toyand.
MINIATURE CITY SHOWN

"Oh, mama. aint it the sweetest thing" This from a beautiful little face which was beaming in front of great big doll with blue eyes, fair hair, and handsome dress. Time was not long to look at just one little face, however, for never was pure happiness more evident than on the hundreds of beloved features that passed through the aisles of the various toy stores in Birmingha am yesterday.
 visit to these headquarters would inspire envy in the breasts of old grabbed people and pleasure to those who joy in the happiness of others Here would be a chubby little hand, grasping a moving cat, and cooing as it Tapped about. Here would be a pug zled face of a mechanical boy investi gating the spring of an automobile, and everywhere were the pretty girls, spending, though not wasting their af lection on the hundreds of dolls.
 Toyland has moved to Birmingham. From half a dozen points in the city an unmarred view of that wonderful coun- try can be taken. There are houses. big structures and small, furnished with chairs, plain and gilt, bureaus, mantel pieces, beds, carpets and stoves. Within are cooks, maids and doll ladies in evening dress.
 The streets of the toy cities are paved with stone blocks lively places, indeed. Dashing over a carefully laid track go electric cars with people sticking their heads out. passed now and then by footing automobiles. The sidewalks are populated with gentle men dolls, and lady dolls, niggers that yell, dogs that bark, cats that new, Now and then one sees bank, and moving picture show. Everything that belongs to city is in Toyland.
 Throught the midst of the scene dashes a real live steam train with fireman and engineer, passing station houses, and sidetracks. Yes, there is an amusement park, ferris wheels, opera glasses, lakes fishes and fisher men, monkeys, grinding organs, all complete.
 The automobiles are of the improved 1908 model, some of them tandems. The horses in this land are sprightly ami mals, with real hair, names and tails, the velocipedes are ball bearing.

A Reliable Remedy for the
 Whisky and Beer Habit

Very few men become drunkards be- cause they like liquor. It is frequently the moderate thinker, who, before he realizes his condition, has become. a drunkard. The nervous system, having become accustomed to stimulants, is unable to do the same amount or qual- ity of work without liquor, hence the victim drinks more and more. This is a state of disease and should be treated by Orrine. It destroys the desire for ltuuor, so that the drink Is not missed. There is no loss of time or detention from work when it Is used.

"A DOLLS HOUSE."
ibsen Play at the Jefferson, With Flor
 ence Davis as Star.

At the Jefferson theatre last night g. little candy boy fell asleep and slum- bered peacefully through the most in- teresting part of Ibsen's play. "A Doll s House" That's the way Ibsen affects some people. In fact, a great many persons wonder what his plays are all about and why something more ele- mentary, something more general in its appeal is not attempted. It was not the fault of the players. Florence Davis as Nora, Elliott Dexter as Torvald Hell mar and the remaining four numbers of the cast did all that could have been expected.
 "A Dolls House is the story of young and needless wife who has mis- taken notions of what constitutes de- votion to her husband and through ill., judged efforts on his behalf involves herself in serious entanglements. The play is not quite so gripping as Ghosts, nor is it so intense as "Hedda Cab bler'' It has rather less of the somber power that characterizes these two plays.

 Birmingham. November 27. 1907. Sister Chrysostom, St. Vincents Hos
 pital, City.
 Dear Sister--In reply to the circular testifying to the great work of St. Vincent's, of which have recently been and am now an eye witness, I here with enclose my check for $150, which, though not the amount I had intended sending, I trust will be of some service in carrying on the noble undertaking now so well in hand
 In reference to the building fund: un- less there Is some great adverse change in money matters or my own condition of health you may count on me for s5OO0 to be paid as follows: 5000 when S10 900 has been subscribed and paid in; $2o0O when s20, ,000; 5000 when $30000; S4OO0 when s40,000, and the balance when s45,000 has been subscribed and paid in; the whole subscription of $50,- 900 to be secured within two years from January 1, and with the proviso that this donation or a good part of 1t, to the building fund, shall be applied towards suitable bathing facilities, steam vapor and hot Turkish baths for at least two patients, who may thus be in q measure relieved from the suffer- ing which l have endured during my i've weeks aI Ot NiHCcHt anu WHo may possibly be affected as l have been; in fact, I think that many ail- ments could be greatly relieved by the bath treatment, which would add to the already complete hospital service. of which you are the honored head.
 When I am restored to health, which trust will be before many weeks. l hope you will press me into service to- ward assisting in raising the building fund to an amount that will enable you to finish the construction of the wing according to your plans, with the ad- dition of the bathing facilities proposed by me- Very respectfully,
 LOUIS V. CLARK.
 Dictated by General Clark at St. Vim cents hospital.
 The projected wing Is to cost $50,- 900. Besides General Clark's offer, something like s10.000 had been sub scribed to the building fund, of which only portion has been paid in. The Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron company was among the first subscribers. Presi- dent Maben sent check for 5000 the day after the Sisters made their ap- peal.
