neers. when reading in the Bismarck
papers of the death of Dwight Skin
ner, who died in the Capital City on
Monday of last week. 60 back to the
early days. In the first years after
settlement of the county, when
every day there were teams passing
between Bismarck and Williams

wife of our station agent, who. hav-
ing in charge her long husband
and the little Coles. is off on a vaca-

be remembered that Mr.. Cole
Hard Coal sent card from Mon
tana which assumed to tell of his
wonderful doings as a fisherman. and
which the Record claimed needed
the Endorsement of Mrs. Cole if the
story was to be believed. The card
from the lady bears two pictures.
The first has two scenes one a boy
in bed. dreaming; above him. the
same boy with big pile Of fish near
him, and jerking out another.
Above it is the legend: THE Way
Cole Dreamed the Night Before. .
In the other picture is presented q
sour-looking fisherman. whose cork
hasn't bobbed a single bob all day.
From his mouth come the words:
Its a gay life; but nothing do
ing" Above the last scene is the
line: But This is What Actually
Happened" All of which brings
to our memory that Truth crushed
to earth (by Cole) will rise again
(when lent a helping hand by Mrs.
Cole).
