the price went quickly to si-s0 a figure

no comfort for shorts IN the news which
came 10 the trade. the only exception to
the bulllsh character Of the news being
the evidence Of additional rainfall over a
portion Of Kansas. Rains OF last week
were sufficient 20 largely eliminate the
growth In that State as an important
factor IN the market. This left the trade
in a position to follow Up the bull market
OF yesterday with a further good advance

ANOTHER FIRM
BRANCH OUT
0verstad & hoVerson Purchase Lots
and will Build Hardware Store
At Sentinel Butte

Overstad & Hoverson, one of our
local hardware firms, recently
purchased lots at Sentinel Butte
and will put in a branch store
there. It seems to be all the go
now among Beach and Sentinel
Butte business men to branch out,
those at the Butte coming to Beach
and Beachites going to Butte.
If it keeps on the interests of the
two towns will soon be one and
the same.
Overstad & Hoverson intend
putting in a complete and up-to-
date stock at the Butte, and, we
understand, will build a 25x1O0
building which will be erected on
lots between the Butte hotel and
Bartley's store. This will be
Sentinel Butte's first exclusive
hardware store and we are safe
in saying that it will be one that
our neighbors can be proud of.

huoo's GaIiantry 20 q Young Girl.
During the latter years Of his long
life Victor Hugo was very fond Of
surveying mankind from the vantage
ground Of the top Of an omnibus. He
used to make long excursions through
the gay city perched on the top Of the
homely bus, which he seemed to prefer
to any other vehicle. An amusing and
characteristic anecdote Of the great
poet. who was most courteous and at
tentive to the better looking sex, is
related by the Paris papers. One fine
day as he was enjoying ride under
these conditions a fascinating young
woman climbed up to the summit Of
the tram car on which he was seated
and steered her way toward the only
vacant place, which happened to be
the one next to him. She was about to
take possession Of 1t when q sudden
jolt sent her instead into Victor Hu-
COS lap. As soon as she had recovered
herself the pretty girl turned to the
poet and, her fair cheeks suffused with
crimson, said. II beg your pardon,
monsieur" "And l." he replied gal
lantly, thank You, mademoiselle."-
Paris Figaro.
