FARGO THIEF is DARING.
Robs Grocery Store Safe During 6usi-
ness Hours.

ness Hours.
What is undoubtedly one of the
most daring robberies which Fargo po-
lice have been called to solve in years
was successfully carried out last Sat-
urday evening, when the Yerxa gro
Gerry store was entered while clerks
were in the building and about 5000
taken from the safe, which vas found
open.
According to the story told the po-
lice by clerks the robbers must have
entered the real while all were busy
in front. It was not until change was
wanted that the loss was discovered
by the employees.
Chief of Police G. B. Wade investi-
gated and was very frank in his opin-
ion of the guilty party. 1t is possible
that sensational developments will fol-
low in the near future. A mar is sus-
pected by the officers and a warrant
may be served on him soon.

SUNDAY LAW is SET ASIDE
Farmers May Thresh Their Grain on
the Sabbath.

States Attorney j. M. Wineman
has ruled that there was a grave ne
cessity for threshing on every day pos
sible, and it would not be unlawful
for farmers to thresh on Sunday. This
ruling was made in response to APP
peals of farmers who desire to keep
the machines going in case Sundays
are fine. Many of them fear thresh-
Ing cannot be completed this fall.
Work was resumed last Friday in a
number of sections of the state after
a shutdown resulting from rain.

MATCH UP THE HORSES.
Try and Have Them Even as to Gait

This does not imply that those Of the

teams is more difficult than matching
driving teams. A slow walking horse
should never be put with fast walk
ing one, for you will have to constant
ly urge the slow one. and this soon
irritates the other one. Match gaits:
match temperaments, and match horse
power These are the essentials to
keep in mind when matching up the
team for heavy work. Never put a
young horse to very heavy, steady
work, such as blowing. alongside an
Did staid horse, says the Indiana
Farmer. The youngster IS apt to do
more than his share, in spite of all
you can do to equalize the work. When
breaking colt have always found 1t
best to put it alongside steady. even
tempered horse that is not easily rat
ted Such a mate will soon give
confidence to the colt, and he readily
falls into work without much trouble.
A correspondent says. give the colt
some light farm work at first, such as
blowing or narrowing. That is risky.
We would never hitch colt to har-
row One never knows what they are
going to do, and harrow is a mean
thing to get a horse mixed up in.
Would rather give the colts the light
driving, and as they become seasoned
give them some heavier work. Match
up the colts as soon as possible. and
when the teams are matched up, don t
change them around unless for good
reason. Horses have to learn how to
pull and work together.

catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the on.

of the disease, and giving the patient

How to be Respectable.


If you would be respectable,
In every way delectable,
Your raiment must the very finest be;
And you must be quite circumspect,
when in the sight of the elect
Nor with your fellow men be very free.
And you must have a pedigree
At least two centuries back, you see?
For then your blood may have the
bluest tint.
Your grand dad may have been a thief,
And his bloody pirate chief
OF that you would not give the world
a hint.
OF course you know you can't amount
To much without bank account;
Most people judge you by the size of
that;
1t helps to blind your neighbours eyes,
And makes the foolish think you wise,
And lifts your "kids" above the COM
mon brat.
And then you must assume the air
OF being free from every care.
Let nothing make you grow "dejecta-
ble."
In fact, if clever, shrewd and rich,
Fen though your soul be black as pitch +,
The fools will think you are respecta-
