no pleasure in the transaction
all a mistake, tragedy well on,
a frantic effort to rectify a bad
misstep, to do what never can be
undone! What a solemn and ter

take part in a transaction SO
solemn when one realizes that it
is all a sham and that the prin-

If the various lotteries of the
government for Indian lands,
held recently as we'll as in the
past, are anything of a criterion
there will be some 500, 600 peop-
lie registering for a pull at the
lands of the Standing Rock and
Cheyenne Indian reservations.
On the part Of the Interior de-
partment it will be wisdom, to
appoint greater number of
places for registration than or
dinarily. If at the Occur d 'Alene

is gravely to be doubted. There

others as can we'll be. And it is
just that complexity Of human
nature that makes life SO pie
turesque and the job of the editor
SO pleasant.
Or, we could put in a word
about the Bride of the State-Line,
the fair young city of Lennon
but, to do that subject justice, we
haven't got room enough in one
issue of The State-Line Herald.
Besides, Lennon talks for itself.
We could follow good old Geo.

from his numerous admirers, to
do stern duty as one of the Per-

shrewd guesses, how he and the

and that a year or SO hence ev-

which our brother Wielder of the
pen roundabout remembers US
each week, but, alas, they're as
dry as beer bottles strewn along
the old trail from Glen Ullin south.
And so this week there isn't
even material enough for a re-
spectacle showing Of our State
Line Echoes" column. Brethren,
put forth greater efforts cease
making so much money and in
vent some news. 1t makes our
labors easier.
Now, there is considerable
news which an editor however,
cannot we'll use. For instance:
The other day, to be precise, a
week ago last Saturday, along
comes fine and strapping ex-
emplar of the yonug honyak, and
intimately inquiries whether pub
lication of the item in a news
paper is a legal necessity to a
marriage. We promptly assured
the young man that such was not
necessary, that marriage was
absolutely binding whether the
editor writes the affair upor not.
A glorious smile broke forth from
the young mans countenance
thereat, and so he further in
uuired whether we could splice
him with a certain young lady OF
his acquaintance, in our capacity
of J. P, and not let our other ca
pacity as newspaper scribe know
about it-and another happy grin
arose upon his countenance when
we promptly assured him that
the soul-makeup of a newspaper
man is so complex that he really
could do such stunt. Of course
there had to be witnesses, but
between the office devil and the
editors better half as aids in the
transaction, the deal could be
worked.
And so they came Monday

GOVERNOR JOHNSON.

He WAS another Lincoln in a way
Humble of birth and poor; Nations needs
The only spur and when the future lay
Before him rich with promise of his deeds,
To leave it and quickly pass away.
Through his short-spun life, no lure of Fame
Could warp his sympathy he needed not
The tyrant of Power; the soaring flame
OF Greed ne'er reached the heart OF him whose lot
Was cast for the glory of his country's name
But when the heights reached while praises rang
With lonros vet nndmmed: and when it seemed
The future it's brightest guerdon was to bring
The prize of which he might have often dreamed
Ere Azrael touched him with his sable wing
He journeyed yonder at the Masters call
And left disconsolate Sate for rich and poor
steemed and loved him for his worth; and in that Hall
OF Death whore lines of party more,
Around his grave the tears of sorrow fall.

The Land Of the Poets.
Sing Ho! Here's Jack!


The wind was a-bowin'-the storm a-roarin',
When Jack quit Camp Two with its freezn' old shacks
Then the trail to the city he gaily took
He turned around for disdainful look
He shook his fist at the greasy old cook.
Sing Ho I'm the cracker jack O the lumber Jacks
He strobe merriy along with jest and song,
For Jack was strong and bold and tough as acks
Out in the woods twas commonly said
He could stand the best of 'sm on their head
He could work away till they fell over dead
Sing Ho! I'm the cracker jack O. the lumber Jacks
When he got n town he looked aroun',
But the beds all full, and some slept in racks
II didn't come here,' said Jack Ito
came into drink up the booze
I've money to burn and plenty to lose
Sing Ho! I'm the cracker-jack O the lumber JACKS.
Twas great sight in town that night
For Jack drank and talked and did few acts
He srutted about he stuck out his chest
The buttons few off from his old wooly vest
Then stranger muttered, '"Oh, give us a rest
Sing Ho You cracker jack the lumber Jacks
Jack never stirred though he heard the words
He lust stood still like he "froze" in his tracks
He sized the up like he did all his foes
From the top O his head to the end o his toes
Then he stuck out his hand and pulled the mans nose
Sing Ho! I'm the cracker-Ja Jack O the lumber Jacks
Twas a bit and a spat, oh, say what was that?
Look out O. the windows and peep out the cracks
There was Jack half the Bowery street
The blood trickling down from his nose to his feet
The rest of his face white as sheet
Sing Ho! For the cracker jack O. the lumber Jacks
A COD in view spoke slow word or two
Then took and led him across the tracks
Youre pinched" said the cop, you're soldering drunk
Now it's YOU for a ride and good free bunk
And the Judge will hand you nice little chunk
Sing Ho! You cracker Jack O the lumber Jacks
The lug was cold but Jack bold
He said he had money in rolls and Doodle in sacks
""rs twenty and costs" said the nice fat Judge
"Pay up and cut out the booze and the bulge
Then back to Camp Two we'll let you trudge
Sing Ho! For the cracker jack O. the lumber Jacks
Jack stood on his head-looked under the bed
The money was gone-we must stick to the facts
He wallowed about on the stony floor
He moaned and groaned and let out a roar
He said he was sick and terribly sore.
SING Ho! For this cracker jack O the lumber Jacks
Oh woe is mine, but Jack hadn't the find
And the Judge wouldn't wait for him to rustic the tax
At the top O. the hill the baste awaits
And they opened wide the big iron gates
The Jacks inside sang out to their mates
Sing Ho! Here's Jack, the the lumber Jacks
