Reply TO the Bachelors Lament.

II am one Of those bachelor girls
From wisdom, be 1t said,
For hear old people say
That any fool can wed.
I've travelled up and down a lot
From St. Paul to the coast
I would not marry one I've seen
OF all the blooming host
I've tried to find one of those men
, That boast of a level head
But we'll know that all such men
Are married or all dead.
Now I can plow' and 1rill and NOW
AS good as most men can
do not see what use I'd make
OF any bachelor man
Unless psrchance I'd stand him up
Amongst the tall corn stalks
To move his arms and bow his head
To scare away the hawks,
My claim is out near Minot
think little west
I'd like to see my bachelor friends
I'd treat them to the very best.
would show them l could cook
And make batch Of bread
can wash and sew and also write
book
My eyes are brown, my hair is black
My complexion is fair enough
l do not need a powder box
Nor yet a powder puff
carry in my handbag
My fancy work instead
I'm quite content and do not care to
wed,
Unless, perchance, see man
That l think is worth pursuing
Then | will get him if can
l think I'll try lassooing
Now my standard of a man,
Is one that would not marry
On purpose 70 Sel some one
The heavy end to carry,
think man that wants wife
TO love to cherish, and obey
Until | find "a man like that
A Bachelor girl I'll stay
And when I'm sitting in my shack
And shades Of evening come
I'll like to think of the Old Boys
Eating supper in hoted de Bum
And putting their best cigar.
Best Advertisers.
Judging from our exchange list of
newspapers we are of the opinion
that Peter Bertleson of Kenmare and
Paul " Mccoy Of Minot are the two
best and most persistent advertisers
in North Dakota Their ads are al
ways well written and right to the
point and they generally use page
