Tappen is Booming.

Interest is growing in the auction
sale of town lots to be held at Tappen,
N. D., in Kidder county, on the main
line of the Northern Pacific railroad.
The town has a great future because
of the fact that it is in the heart of
rich and fertile country which incluoes
the famous Troy farm of 5000 acres,
now thrown open to settlers for the
first time. Many families are taking
up sections and half sections in that
country and there is an urgent demand
for more business houses at the town
of Tappen, the trading center of this
large territory. The following lines of
business are needed at once: Hard
ware and implement store, drug store,
bank, hotel, lumber yards, dry goods
store, general store, barber shop, billiard
and pool hall, physician, confectionery,
job bprinting Office and others. These and
more business houses will prosper from
the start. The community demands
them and as the country becomes set
tied up, which it is doing now, many
other business houses will be needed.
This auction sale of business and res
idence lots offers an excellent oppor-
tunity to any person who desires to
start in business. The lots will be sold
to the highest bidders by Col. P. H.
Hillman of Sioux City. Iowa, the vet
eran townsite auctioneer who has made
remarkable record along the coast
extension of the Milwaukee railroad.
There will be band on hand and re-
freshments will be served by the ladies
of the local church. Wednesday, Aug.
25 promises to be red letter day at
Tappen. Train arrangements will be
announced later.

People viii Talk.

You may get through the world but
twill be very slow
If you listen to all that is said as you
go;.
You'll be worried and fretted, and
kept in stew,
For meddlesome tongues must have
something to do
And people will talk.
If quiet and modest, you'll have it
presumed
That your humble position is only
assumed;
You're wolf in sleeps clothing, or
else you're fool;
But don't get excited, keep perfectly
cool,
For people will talk.
If threadbare your dress and old
fashioned your hat,
Someone will surely take notice of
that,
And hint rather strong that you can't
pay your way;
But don't get excited, whatever they
say,
For people will talk.
If your dress is in fashion, don't think
to escape,
For they criticize then in a different
shape
You're ahead of your means, or your
tailor's unpaid;
But mind your own business, there's
naught to be made
For people will talk.
Now tht best way to do is to do as you
please,
For your mind, if you have one, will
then be at ease,
OF course you will meet with all sorts
Of abuse;
But don't think to stop them-it's not
any use
For people will talk.
