Why he SPANKED THE CHILDREN
How the Settler Prepared the Young
Ones for Christmas.

On the morning of the day before
Christmas dismounted at the door of
a North Dakota cabin to inquire the
whereabouts of man living in that
neighborhood, and the sounds from
within told me that one of the child
rem was being spanked When the
spanking had been concluded the set
tier opened the door and invited me
in. | saw nine children standing up In
a row, and the tenth one sitting down
on the other side of the room. The
man thought some explanation should
be made, and he said:
Its the way do every Christmas
time, and | had just begun when you
rode up. Can you wait till / have
spanked the other miner"
"Of course, but may / ask why you
do it? They look to me to be nice,
well-behaved children"
They are as good children as you
will find in the state, sir; but the
spanking must go on
Yes, the spanking must go on
added the wife.
/ couldn't say any more, of course,
and went out to the gate and waited
The nine were called up one after an
other and put through the machine
and then the man, who was breathing
hard from his exertions. joined me at
the gate and said
There, the last one of EN- has
been licked, and now I'll show you
where Brown lives"
Thanks, but would you take it
'amiss if | asked what your ten child
rem had done to deserve punishment ?"
You may ask, sir, and / will ex-
plain" he replied. They hadn't done
nothing. / was licking EN- so they
wouldn't expect any Christmas pres
ents in their stockings tosnight!''

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable. For
great many yesrs doctors pronounced
it local disease, and prescribed local
remedies; and by continually failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Science has proven catarrh
to be constitutional disease, and, there
fore requires constitutional treatment
Halls Catarrh Cure. manufactured by
F. j. Cheney & Co, Toledo. o., is the
only constitutional cure on the market.
It is taken internally in doses from 10
drops to teaspoonful. It acts directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system! They offer one hundred dollars
for any case it fails to cure. Send for
circular and testimonials. Address,

Some Stuffed Geese.

Stuffed geese are being shipped out
of Watertown now upon orders and the
shipments will continue until all the or
ders received by the local firms are
filled. The geese this year are excep-
tionally good, it is said, although the
weight of other years for individual
geese has not been surpassed. So far
as known, the heaviest goose received
here so far was marketed by John
Schumacher of the town Of Watertown.
1t weighed 311 pounds. Last year one
goose balanced the scales at "a pounds,
and several years ago a goose was sold
here which weighed just 38 pounds, the
heaviest one ever marketed in Water
town so far as known.
At the Watertown Grain company
office one shipment of twenty eight
averaged twenty-five pounds, which is
pretty good showing for fat poultry.
The liver of one goose received by this
firm recently weighed three pounds,
but this is not the largest. Several
years ago we saw two goose livers
which weighed exactly seven pounds.
One weighed 81 pounds and the other
81 pounds, about the weight of an or
binary chicken. - WATERFOWL Leader.

ter. Wis. He came to North Dakota
in 1850, locating at Wahpeton. where
for four years he followed his trade.
lie then founded the Sargent County
Teller at Milnor, which he conducted
until 1857, when he purchased the

several years in the state senate, and

very quiet until now, with the result
that the perpetrators of the deed have
been found out and trouble is brewing.
1t appears that a number of young
men of the vicinity got together to
have some fun with Chris. Fosltad,
the Holmes section foreman, who re-
Gently married. They waited till
nearly midnight, when all were asleep,
when they stuffed the chimney full OF
old rags and then quietly skipped
away. FolStad went 10 bed that night
witha good soft coal fire, and when
the draft was shut off the house soon
became filled with escaping gas and
smoke. Folstad, his wife and Two
children OF his first wife slept down
stairs, while in the upper rooms were
Oliver Lode and two of his children
and one other section man. Lode was
awakened some time after midnight
by being i'm terrible agony, and, being
convinced that something was wrong,
attempted toawaken his children, but
couldn't. He hastily carried them
downstairs and out OF doors and then
went in to arouse the others, which
he accomplished after considerable ef-
| fort. The { wo Lode children suffered
the worst, and it took several hours in
the open air to revive them. AN the
inmates of the house we're more or
less sick for some time, and but for the
awakening of Mr.. Lode the ''jokers"
would have discovered ghastly sight

LOOSE COINS
Should Not be Left in Rural
Free Delivery Mail
Boxes.

The Wflsonburg postmaster de-
slres to call attention to the practice
of some patrons of placing loose
coins in their boxes each time they
desire to dispatch letters instead Il
supplying themselves with postage in
advance OF their needs.
This practice imposes undue hard
ship on rural carriers in removing
loose coins from boxes and delays
them on the service of their routes.
The postmaster, therefore, urgently
requests that patrons Of rural dellv-
cry provide themselves and keep on
hand a supply OF stamps consistent
with and in advance Of their needs.
1t is also very desirable that rural
patrons place in their mail boxes
small detachable cups of wood or lin
in which to place coins, when neces-
sary. in purchasing supplies Of
stamps.
