TO NICOLETTE.

NlcOlette, my lady gay,
Nicolette, the debonair.
Wilt thou ever say me nay,
Nicolette, the blonde, the fair?
Wilt thou never grow aware
How | sing thy titanic:
How pray to thee fore 'er:
Choose me thy true knight to be!'
Laughing eyes of silver gray,
Flowing wealth of sunset hair
Soft as clouds and bright as they:
Nicolette, the blonde, the fair,
These are thine. and by their snare
Thou dost hold my heart in fee
Let me then thy colors wear
Choose me thy true night to be!
Beautiful as dawning day,
Fragrance of the morning air,
Even love cannot portray
Nicoette the blonde, the fair.
For thee | will serve and dare
AS for Frances fleur-de-is;
Surely then thoul't hear my prayer
Choose me thy true knight to be.
Lady mine, beyond compare,
Nicolette, the blonde, the fair,
All give, and ask of thee:
Choose me thy true knight to be.

establishment of this lod ge was
due entirely to the persistent and

Surrounded by the members of his
family, the former state executive Of
North Dakota answered the summons
of the grim reaper at lO+5 a. m. at
his home in this city. Last night
there was change for the worse in
the former governors condition and
death was expected momentarily un-
til the end came.
The exact cause of Governor Short
ridges demise w:,s cancer. lie was
operated on at Rochester, Minn., a
few weeks ago, but it. was too late to
be effective.
Eli c. d.. Shortridge, familiarIy
known as the "old grey farmer of
Bachelors Grove" was born in West
Virginia in 1880, but was raised in
Missouri, his parents having moved
TO that commonwealth when the
prospective governor was quite young
He received common school educa-
tion and afterwards graduated with
honors at the Paris, Mo-, academy.
His life had been expended upon a
farm and all his sympathies were
those of a farmer who knew by ex,
perience the grievances of his class OF
people.
Ex-Governor Shortridge came tC
North Dakota in 1881 and located up.
