His Corns Indicate a Month of Dry
Weather and a Rain Comes On.

as could be found in the county. No
matter what kind of differences they
had over the everyday affairs of life,
they generally agreed to agree. There
was one subject, however, on which
Mrs. Billinger appeared to have her
doubts. She didn't exactly feel in
the mood to question the sincerity of
Mr. Billinger, and when he went
wrong it took something mighty
strong to put her in the frame of
mind to even mildly reprove him,
The matter. of the weather had al
ways been a tender spot in the make
up of Mr. Billinger, and he talked so
much about it till his neighbors final
" called him the human barometer.
That is, he wasn't exactly a barome-
ter, but he thought he was. He could
always judge of the weather by a
system of "signs" which he had heard
on the old farm where he was raised.
No class of people have as many
signs on the weather as the farmers,
and Mr.. Billinger had taken his cue
from his early ancestors.
"Let me tell you something, he
said to Mrs. Billinger one morning
during a long summer drought.
'There amt going to be any rain for
another month"; and you may. as we'll
make up your mind to that right
now"

asked his wife.
Think it, why know it." he re
piled.

much about the weather" she re-
turned, arching her brows, and pro-
ceeding with the darning she was do
ing on his socks.

Band Much in Evidence In Foot
bali Game This Afternoon.

The Fargo college rooters are out in
fMAi force this afternoon, and are
out in full force this afternoon, and
ere showing true college spirit. The
people OF Fargo, wondering what all
the noise was about. found that 1t was
the preacher band on a little advertis-
ing lark, in trolley ride around the
loop. Whatever may be their musical
ability, they are certainly able to make
a noise when called upon. The two
eievens are having a lively game on
the F. c. gridiron. The Wahpeton
boys seemed confident of winning upon
their arrival, however the r. c. boys
seemed to be in the same mood before
the game, so it remains to be seen who
viii come QUO on top. This game is
the key to some extent to the local foot
ball situation, for the A. C. bunch were
defeated by this same team lasC Sat-
urday. So If Fargo college can beat
the A. C.'s score, IL means that they
have the better chance for the city
championship, however the A. c. boys
are gaining in both material and spir-
it, and che f. CA. C. game next week
is sure to be a hummer. There is a
faint rumOr afioat that the high school
team lis out for both state and CITY
Championship honors, which means that
challegne may be forthcoming to
the winner of next weeks champion
