day, a civil suit, in which a calf will
furnish the ''bone of contention A
couple of farmers living in the north

the suit. The calf is wholly to blame,

city the size of Bismarck, ones at
tention is naturally directed towards
the larger buildings and the business
transacted therein, hence the depart

the sole business life of the city, bust
ness would not be heavy as whole,

es shows how really important these
houses Of lesser professions are and

prised at the amount of business car
ried on in small places. Shoe shops,
tailor shops, candy stores, restaurants
and blacksmith and bicycle shops are
all of them exceedingly busy places.
and these are only a few Of those that
might be mentioned. They are just
as truly as important a part in the
life and business of the city as the
