There was no band practice last
Sunday and Prof. Bilden entertained
a handsome l1-pound baby which glad
dened his home Saturday, August IA,
with some choice cornet solos. Among
others we enjoyeda fine Havana from
the box H. E. was passing around.

The dapper little travelling man
glanced at the menu card and then
looked up to the pretty waitress.
"Nice day, little one," he began.
Eyes, it is, she answered, ''and so
was yesterday, and my name is Ella
and I know I'm a little peach and
have pretty blue eyes and I've been
here quite a while and ] like the place
and I don't think I'm too nice a girl
to be working in a hotel; if I did I'd
quit my job and my wages are salts
factory, and I don't know if there is a
show or a dance in town tonight, and
if there is I shall not 60 with you, and
I'm a respectable girl, andmy brother
is a cook in this hotel and he weighs
200 pounds, and last week he mopped
out the dining room floor with a fresh
fifty dollar a month travelling man who
tried to make a date with me. Now
what'll you have?" The dapper little,
travelling man said he was not very
hungry and a cup of coffee and some
cakes would do.-Ex.
Another candidate for governor
has been brought forward this week,
Hon. A. M. Packard, of Mandan.- The
Pioneer, of that city, is enthusiastic in
it's praise of Mr.. Packard who is an
old newspaper man, the pioneer resi-
dent of the Missouri slope, register of
deeds of Morton county and one of the
city commissioners of Mandan. The
Pioneer thinks that all factions Of the
Republican party could unite on Pack
ard. In days of old when r. M. Tut
tie controlled the destinies of the Pho
neer, that paper painted Mr.. Packard
rather as a black individual, but some
of the history made by futile should
not count against a man, and espec-
tally Packard.-Walsh Co. Record.
A monument to commemorate the
Whitestone battle field is to be dedi-
Gated at Monango N. D. September 3.
This battle took place September 3rd
and 5th, 1868, between the Second Neb-
raska and the Sixth Iowa cavalry,
under Brigadier General Sully, and
several parties of Sioux Indians,
about two thousand in number. The
soldiers were victorious and captured
all the winter supplies of the Indians
and a large number of horses. Over
two hundred Indians were killed, and
twenty three white men. Several of
the soldiers graves have been located.
Golfers: Pay no money to an un-
known person for IN unknown article.
If a nan who doesn't know you offers
you a job through the mails and asks
money from you, find out what the job
is first, and then don't pay the money.
Good jobs don't hunt men by mail.
They don't have to. If it's a salary
he offers you he is a swindler. Hon
est men do not pay salaries to unseen
applicants. If he guarantees" so
much per day or week. or month to
you, he's a liar. No mar can guaren-
tee your earning powers without know
ing who and what you are. If he cites
tempting figures, seeking q enroll
you among his agents and asks you
for a deposit on a sample article, shun
him. You wouldn't pay money for
an article you had never seen to a
mar you CHANGED to meet on the
street because he promised you an
agency. Why, then, pay it to an. un-
known who calls from afar to you
through a newspaper or magazine?
Let him, if he be honest, send his
sample on approval. And, above all,
when you have been swindled by a
fake advertiser, tell the publisher Of
the medium in which you found the
advertisement. If he's honest he'll be
glad to know of it. If he's dishonest
he'll be uncomfortable. Two to one
he took that advertisement with an
uneasy feeling anyway. And if ter
per cent of the victims protested with
the might that is in them against these
%swindles, ninety per cent of the petty
larcenists who thrive on printers ink
would take either to honest labor OF
to the woods.
