How Billows Went to Minot.

This happened on Tuesday, May
IL, 1908: The team was sailing
merrily over the new grade near
the j. Davis place. The sun was
winkin' and winkin' at Charley;
he could see it in the waves and
ripplings Of the frog pond at either
side Of the road. A little dog was
running about chasing shadows
and other delusions, ETC., etc. The
pup got tired of delusions and
took a nip at one of the thorough
breds. The horse jumped side
ways, unbalanced the buggy and
tipped the precious cargo consist
ing of Billows and little jake
Keim into about four foot of water
and frog slime. Billows, Of course,
got out Of the hole as seon as pos
sible. He wasn't drowned, he
wasn't even hurt. But look at the
new Sunday clothes, that hat, that
necktie. and dat linen collars,
besides that clean undershirt and
socks, and then, too, three prize
editorials which refused to float
and went far down lost in the
quagmire. (The loss of these
editorials will be keenly felt in the
community While Charley was
tearing loose from his marshy
associates, the thoroughbreds and
dog joyfully ran home. The bar
ber shop was Charley's next stop
and four pals Of water judiciously
applied cleansed the visible little,
while a private bath did great
deal to help the invisible much.
A borrowed suit of clothes, a little
tight across the hips, put him in
pretty good shape, and he and
Keim took the next train to Minot
where they expect seats as stall
wart delegates from this county.
The Hon. j. P. promised Billows
that the dog should be shot in the
head with bullet until it was
died.-Turtle Lake Wave.

arrest of Schrum, and he will
probably remain as boarder with
Mr.. Cotton until the boys leg is
entirely healed.
A crowd of boys gathered around
the Jail Wednesday evening and
Schrum thought his time had
come when he heard them talk of
lynching. It was only a bluff,
however, and the crowd soon dis
persed.-Wilton News.

Benedict Banner.

N. Fl. Kooreney had a piece OF
bad luck one day last week, when
visiting his father-in-law, Ostof
Bostow, ten miles northwest of
Max. He had his team Of ponies
tied to the buggy, which stood
near haystack. Mr.. Bostow lit
cigarette and threw the match
into the grass, thinking he had
extinguished it-but did not walk
two rods before the hay stack was
afire. The horses were severely
burned and will not be in shape
for work for several weeks. The
buggy, which was new one, was
badly scorched.
Strawberry lake is to be stocked

fish.

Kansas Farmers Get the Benefit.

No0SSk0 o. WS&S wv Wv OSASA4St
Topeka, May 16.-A motion to
advance the antitrust suit against
the International Harvester CON-
parry was filed in the supreme court
today by Fred s. Jackson, attorney
general. The motion says that
this company controls nearly all
of the harvester machine business
in Kansas, and that the decision
of the court may affect this bust
ness to considerable extent. The
attorney general asks that the case
be advanced for hearing so that
the changes made necessary by the
decision of the court will be effect
i've for the harvest of 1909 and the
farmers may get the benefit. This
case is an appeal from the district
court for Shawnee county, where
the company was fined $4,000
for violating the antitrust laws of
the state.

NIIN0TCONVENTI0N

k444VV4 NV4V VAAV / 1V4V
The republican state convention
met at Minot on May 18th pur-
suant to call, Senator McCumber
was chosen chairman and ever
thing which the Stalwarts desired
to do, and nothing more, was done.
The progressive republicans, CON-
monty known as the insurgents,
were in the minority, but their
strength throughout the state has
greatly increased and at one of the
roll calls there was difference of
only As voters on the convention
floor. This was on the matter of
recommending to the national COM
mitteeman for North Dakota to
take the place of Alexander Nc
Kenzie The progressive repub-
licans, however. had not sufficient
strength to down the Mckenzie
faction. 1t was clearly apparent
that what the insurgents lack is
leader. AS soon as LaFollette
or Cummins appears in the arena
of North Dakota politics, we pre-
dict that then and not
not until then McKenzieism
will receive its final defeat. Many
Of the stalwarts claim Nc
Kenzie had nothing more to do
with it, but we noticed Mr.. Nc
Kenzie personally, was very much
in evidence at Minot.
The most interesting feature Of
the convention so far as Mclean
county is concerned was the fight
in the state committee for the seat
ing of the majoEity delegation
chosen at the Underwood county
convention May 5th. The Ma
comper. Lamb O'Hare delegation
were there in full force, all expen-
ses paid, and in spite Of the fact
that they had no proper claims to
victory many Of the StaF~arts on
the state committee did all in their
power to seat them. We are glad
to admit, however, that justice was
finally rendered upon the plain
facts, which seated the regular
delegation. Mr.. H. R. Turner of
Fargo, partner Of Wright who is a
candidate for judge on the supreme
bench, was most outspoken against
the Mclean county boys and they
will certainly not forget this at the
primaries. State Attorney Nues-
sle made the fight Of his life and
was congratulated on all sides for
his splendid victory. The victory,
however, did us very little good as
our delegates were on the minority
side in the convention.
Senator Hansbrough and Con-
gressmen Marshall, Gronna and
johnson and the much advertised
G. B. Little were all at Minot. 1t
is clearly apparent that Senator
Hansbrough holds the balance Of
power. with either johnson or
Marshall as a close second: at the
primaries. We predict that G. B.
Little will be practically an un-
known factor.
The failure on the part of the
insurgents to carry the floor on the
proposition of national commit
tee man, of course, means the
selection of James Kennedy as
National committeeman.
We believe the proposed COM
committeeman Kennedy to be a
tool of Mckenzie and there is act
ually more honor in old Alex him.
SELF,
We hope that the press of the
state, from one end to the other
will. between now and the meeting
of the National Committee de-
nounce the appointment of
Kennedy as against the wish of the
people of North Dakota.-Mc-
Clusky Gazette.

A schoolboy was asked to give some information in regard to the Cary sis ters. the once famous New England poets, and he said of them; The Cary sisters were two poets who lived in Massachusetts most of the time. They went to New York where they made many fast friends. Their fastest friend was John C. Whittier" At the time of the Longfellow centennial when the school children were writ ing so much about him, one boy wrote: "Longfellow's poems were mostly of his own composure, but he wrote Tails of Wayside Inn where others did the talking He was the poet lorryett of our talking He was the poet lirryett of our country and was a crackerjack when it came tc real poetry. ."-Lippincott's.

speetacies for Cows.

A Russian firm which manufactures optical goods has just completed an order for 10000 pairs of glasses to be worn by cows. These spectacles are necessary because the steppes. the great Russian prsiries, are covered with snow for six months in the year. but during part of the time delicate fresh grass tips protrude from the white and dazzling mantle. The COWS then are turned out to feed on the new grass. but If their eyes are un- protected from the dazzle of sunshine on the snow 1t gives them snow blindness. Hundreds have died from this cause: but a rude, cheap kind oi spectacles, made of leather and smoked glass. was invented, and since has been used with great success

 have spoken of the only true and right motive for marriage, and ven- ture my opinion that marriage should not be too eagerly sought by either sex, but rather waited for until the certainty has come that one loves worthily and well. l mean, that for a man to say to himself, in cold blood, that it is time he should marry. and, for that reason, to look about for a wife--instead of being aware that he loves and therefore desires to marry the one beloved woman-is, to my thinking, as unwise and in almost as poor taste as for 6 girl to discover that it is time she were settled in life and, in consequence, set about trying to attract husband In neither case Is happiness in marriage likely to be the result of such quest-Louise Chand- Ter Moulton.
