'LEPER" Did NOT
HAVE LEPROSY

Washington, d. O.. Aug. 24.--That
leprosy is a disease that has fooled
more than one doctor in it's diagnosis
was fully demonstrated In the Early
case In washington which after all, ac-
cording to New York skin specialists
was not case OF leprocy but an unusual
skin disease So confident. however,
were the doctors here that Early was
-unclean" that they kept him quaran-
tined for more than ten months during
which time Early became about as
prominent In the public eye as some
lof the nations tariff insurgents. The
quarantined one was good for first
page story most any day but all this
has now changed Since his transfer to
New York all this has been changed.
Here he was at once welcomed with
open arms; told that thai he was not
q leper and sure enough within two
weeks was dismissed by the New York
medical authorities as cured. He Is now
lclerlxing In a New York shoe store
under ap assumed name In order to
ssave any more notoriety. Like the good
fellow that he is no suit for damages
will be brought against the District Of
gCoIumbia by Early. There Is no doubt
THAT he could make 1t extremely inter
testing for Washington authorities IL hi
should decide to hold them accountable

I'll give you ten guesses. and you
can't tell me what we find oftenest on

Desk Sergt. James Coleman made
the above offer in answer to the ques-
ton: What do you find when search
ing the hoboes who are brought into
police station?"
The reporter refused to exercise his
guessing abilities, so the sergeant an
swered the question himself.
Soap" he said.
Pulling a drawer from under his desk,
Sergeant Coleman displayed a wider
assortment of soap than any drug
store In Fargo can boast There was
glycerine soap, green soap, soap that
floats, powdered soap, CASTLE soap,
kerosene soap, and even soft soap, not
to mention a choice supply Of toilet
powder and face lotions.
THE American tramp is not the
never washing, unkempt- looking in
dtvidual that the comic papers lead
| you to believe" said the sergeant, who
has had an excellent chance to study
all types of humanity.
Although they are habitually dirty,
/ have never seen one yet who didn't
have some pride, and who didn't like
to clean up at times"
Many OF the tramps carry razors
and shaving stick. according to the
sergeant, while all Of them have combs
of some description.
Tn all my experience" said the SER
geant, Il have yet to flnd the hobo
who carries the tomato can on the
end Of stick, as per the funny pa
pers. The articles 1 have mentioned,
together with a good large pocket
knife, leather wallet containing q
variety of newspaper clippings. and
some postage stamps, form the bag
gage of the real hobo"
4 While Sergeant Coleman.was speak
] ing three typical 'vags" were lined up
before the desk. After taking their
names together with the name of the
arresting officer. the sergeant assorted
three piles of junk which he had taken
from their pockets. In each pile was q
cake of soap wrapped in greasy news
paper, pocket knife, leather wal
let and q razor.

From present indications there viii
be plenty OF cars to move North Da-
kota grain crop. Every station siding
| is being filled with empty grain cars
ready for the rush. IL the Farmers
Alliance and the American Society OF
Equity has It's way, however, and these
organizations are pretty strong in
North Dakota, wheat from this section,
and, 1t may be added from the whole
Red river valley district, will not find
its way to market very rapidly this
fall. The societies are ruglng their
members to hold their wheat for 31.15
bushel, and many of the associations
have pledged themselves to do SO.
The outlook now is that the new
crop will move for September delivery
at about 80 cents a bushel. 1t will be
interesting to watch affairs and see
whether the farmers who belong to
these societies win out in their plan to
control the market. They are all In
pretty god financial condition, espe-
cially in the valley, where they man
age to keep up their running expenses
and also lay aside something for a
rainy day by dairying and the market
ing of eggs, poultry and vegetables.
These farmers may be able to make
good on their proposed wheat corner,
but 1t will not be so easy for those fur,

they have to sell, and where they are

The Real Farmer.
BY the way, / have just learned the
difference between a farmer and an
agriculturalist. A farmer lives on his
farm and spends his money in the city,
while an agriculturalist lives in the
city and spends his money on the farm.
All of which leads to the tenant ques-
ton in North Dakota, which seems to
be a pretty serious proposition. A
great many of the farms are owned In
the east and in Illinois, Iowa and Ne
braska- They were secured by their
present holders on mortgages which
the poor devils who frontiered the
country were unable to meet when
they fell due. Thay have leased these
farms to tenants and a man with half
an eye can tell a tenant farm as far as
he can see 1t. In almost every case the
land has been shamefully abused
wheat having been grown year after
year on the same SOIL without fertili-
zation, and ther esult is that these
farms are very badly run down: the
wheat fields are weedy; the wheat thin
and of poor grade; the buildings are
ram -shackle, delapidated affairs-some
times still the sod house of the pioneer
of an otherwise rich and prosperous
appearing community. There is no
question but what the tenant farm has

Dakota at anywhere from SIS to $40

More Substantial Conditions.
The old wildcat land days of the
''Fiickertail state" have been relegated
TO the past. Bankers and merchants
have Joined with the better class of
land men to present things in their
true light. Commercial bodies are us
ing their best endeavors to adver-
tise their communities in a truthful
manner and the result is that the
tide of immigration is certainly turn

idle will soon be titled by an intelli-

their land produce the most money per

A Progressive Region.
/ have just come from Devils Lake
south, along the Casselton branch Of
the Great Northern to Wahpeton And
1t is a wonderfully productive region.
1t has been farmed for quarter CEN
tury, and there are magnificent farm
homes, nesting in beautiful groves
along the line, and as far as the eye
can reach across the perfectly level
prairie on both sides of the track.
Corn fields and large tracts of potatoes
come a quarter section in extent, fire.
quently greet the eye along this line.
The famous DaIrymple wheat ranch of
$4,000 acres is located close to Cassel-
ton and has grown fine crop this
year. This is one of the last of the
old time bonanza wheat farms of the
northwest, most of them having been
broken up into smaller holdings to
meet the insistent demands of the in
flux of new farmers to the state.
THE "Jinn" River Valley.
Mill men and bankers here in Fargo
report that the harvest in the Jim
river valley is practically completed
and that threshing operations have
commenced there. Samples of wheat
sent in early al grade No. 1, and
the large yield and icreased acreage
indicates a high degree of prosperity
this fall and winter for the whole val
ley.
BY next week threshing operations
will be general al over the south half
of North Dakota, and in the southern
half of the Red river valley, and If
the present perfect weather holds out
it will not take long to transmute the
225,000,0O0 bushels of wheat of the
great northwest into almost as many
dollars.

WATERLESS BATHING.

The conditions and conventions of

frequent bathing is essential to health.
This is quite untrue" says the Med
ical Journal I'VE have seen fine and
vigorous men among the habitants of
Canada who had never taken a full
bath in their lives. Were the truth
known. many thousands of our fellow
citizens probably know nothing of the
alleged benefits of the tub. though
maintaining excellent average health.
"Such people do not present the
fresh and pleasing appearance of the
frequent bather. however long lived
they may be. Is not. however. much
of the benefit attributed to the water
in reality due to the complete exposure
of the skin to the air:
THE respiratory function of the
skin is of high Importance. and. al
though water may be dispensed wit h.

in speedy asphyXiation. The historic

THE ice cold bath is a superstition;
it is a pastime for the abnormally

really an agreeable stimulant as well
as being a luxury. The feeling of well
