.CUENTO CORTO

Apenas llegado a Paris, un ingles
rubio y placido, con un maletfn en- Ia
mano, salio de la estaci6n del Norte
y Sc diigio pie a la gran ciudad.
Apenas anduvo algunos pasos por
las Gales parisinas, Sc dirigi6 a un
guardia de la paz y le dijo, con Ia
mas dulce de sus sonrlsas:
-IMueran las vacas!
Los malhechores suelen designar
con este nombre despectivo de va
cas-" a los guardias y agentes de po-
icia.
iCalcdlese, pues, el asombro del
guardia interpelado!
Sin duda no habia comprendido
bien.
Invito,p va un POGO amosta-
zado, al subdito de Josge v, repe-
tir las palabras que acababa de pro-
nunciar.
Y el ingles, elevando la voz, repi-
ti6 con la mayor imperturbabilidad
-iMueran las vacas!
Ell guardia Sc puso rojo de ira y
ordeno al extrangero que lie siguiera
El joven blitanico permanecla
quieto. Era indudable que no COM
prendia una palabra de frances.
Repitio el guardia la indication
por ssef1as, y el ingles le sigul6 hassa
la Comisa ria manifestando con repe-
tidos gestos su asombro al entrar en-
ella, porque aquello no Sc parecia en-
NADIA al hotel donde 81 deseaba dirt
girse.
El comisario, por medic de i'm in
terprete, Sc entendio entonces con el
detenido.
Y el ingles manifesto que, en- el
tren, habfa preguntado 4 nn compa-
nero de viaie las palabras que tiebe-
ria pronunciar para decir & un guar
clia que lie acompanara d una fonda,
Y su compahero de viaje lie enseno
4 dccir:
iMueran las vacas!
La explicaci6n del ingles Sc ha to-
mado por buena, y ell comisalio ha
hecho que lie acompanaran a un ho-
tel.
Sin embargo, ell guardia interesa-
do sigue jurando y perjurando que
10 del companero de viaje ha sido pu
ra broma v que el ingles ha tenido
el prop6sito deliberado de burlarse
de el.

What is q Subscriber 4?

A court decision has lately been rendered
in Massachusetts on what constitutes SUBJ
scriber. The judge firmly believed that the
man who received the paper, although he
never subscribed for it, is entitled to pay
James Thompson moved, and William Rob-
inson took immediate possession and received
and accepted weekly paper that was deliv-
cred to him through the mails every week.
The good-natured editor sent accounts fire.
quently but no attention was paid to them
by Mr.. Robinson. f
Finally there was day of reckoning. Rob-
inson had received the paper for some time,
he informed the collector, but he said that he
never subscribed and declined to pay for it.
The Judge personally questioned the de-
PENDANT, who said that he had read and made
use of it and was receiving the accounts,
which were frequently inclosed in the paper.
Judgment was rendered in favor of the
newspaper. The judge was severe in his
criticism of people who are receiving papers
and do not think it worth while to pay for
what they receive and make use of.
It is an act Of dishonesty. One shonld ac-
quaint the publisher and pay for whatever
numbers he receives.

The Best Advertising Medium.

The newspaper is the best advertising me-
dunn in existence, declares G. W. johnson,
an advertising expert of Buffalo, N. Y, who
makes speciality of raising large sums of
money for charitable purposes in short spaces
Of time.
Mr.. Johnson relies entirely upon advertis-
ing to accomplish his ends. In ten days he
raised 100000 to build Y. M. c. A. for
Buffalo. In published interview he says,
among other things: ..... IL s.~4as
'The newspaper is the best thing there is
in advertising because it reaches the home.
It stands in exactly the same relationship to
the community as does the physician to his
patients or the clergyman to his congregation.
In local advertising campaign the home
must be reached. All articles used in home
are advertised, of course, and the women Of
this country do more than 80 per cent Of the
general buying for the home. The newspa-
per reaches the women, thereby placing be-
fore them the good qualities or new ideas of
the article advertised.
Every newspaper naturally has some
standing in the community through which its
circulation carries it. Take, for example, a
newspaper Of the very highest type. Any
article advertised in that paper gains pres-
tige in proportion to the standing of the pa
per. In other words a newspaper gives to
its advertising it's own staining.

According to the Success Magazine, North
Dakota has elected a Republican governor
This magazine is not far from, the truth, but
is merely giving the news in advance. It is
conceded quite generally everywhere that
our next governor will be a Republican.

H. H. Aaker, one of the defeated candidates
for governor, announces that he will work
for c. A. Johnson's election. Buchanan has
already promised that he would do likewise
Mr.. Aaker said he felt certain that had he
been the successful nominee, he should have
had the support of johnson and his friends,

Keep the Stock.

Now that there is going to be a scarcity Of
feed in many sections some will think of SELL
ing their stock; in fact some may have to.
AS result it will be cheap. Stock is the
very best part of farming and every effort
should be made to keep the stock, if nothing
but the straw can be had feed them that.
There will also be considerable grain that will
make excellent stock feed. If the grain crop
is burning UP it will yet make good feed and
should be made into hay; even If it is dried
up the food is still in it. BY all means hang
on to the stock, and If possible buy more, now
that they are cheap. BY the time another
season rolls around, and feed is abundant
then stock will be exceptionally high: It
takes time to go into stock raising and if one
sells out now it will set him back several
tried out blood lines requires years and start
and sometimes of disappointment. 49,.
It begins to look as tho after all, MinOt
was going to get that drinking fountain, but
it will have to be purchased by public spirited
citizens. In another column you will notice
where several have subscribed for this fund.
Let US add your name to the list. The farm
ers will appreciate it if we can furnish them
a place where they can water their beasts
and, in the long run, we will not lose any
thing by doing our duty. The Independent
still contends that the city should furnish
this fountain, but if the commissioners be-
lieve that Minot is too poor to do as much as
little Towner has done, let's get busy and
show our farmer friends that the citizens, as
a whole, are not unfriendly to them. Phone
the Independent if you are willing to help
good cause.

COULDN'T PUT BLAME ON Him
UnrelIabiIity of the Doctors Cause OF
Tramp's Seeming Disregard
of Truth.

Clement ]. Driscoll, New York's
commissioner of weights and meas.
ares, advocates the sale of bread
strictly by weight.
Some bakers oppose this idea," he
said the other day. "'They provo that 1t
is better for the poor to trust to the
bakers generosity than to pin him
down, as grocers and butchers are pin
ned down now.

bakers are as illogical and absurd as

feet long. the first one being four
inches in diameter. the second five
inches. the third six inches, with two
inch holes through each log about a
foot or so from each end. Then put
chain through each hole. tie knot

Have your chain long enough SO that
it is two or three feet longer than the
logs require. This is left in a loop

Bacon, and Mrs. Bacon, the bronze
replica of Houdon's celebrated statue
Of Washington in the statehouse at
Richmond, Va, presented by the state
Of Virginia to the French republic,
was dedicated with appropriate cere-
monies. The dedication ceremonies
took place before distinguished as
semblage of Frenchmen and Ameri-
cans, including Marquis de Lafayette,
members of the French mission that
presented to America the statue Of
Rochambeau, now at Washington, and
Nathan B. Scott, once United States
senator from West Virginia.
They had great doin's there. largely
military, with heap of French nota-
bles and good many Americans. The
band played the "Star-Spangled Ban

law of Congressman Longworth Of
Ohio, great-grandson of Lafayette, un-
yelled the bronze, which was veiled,
not with the Stars and Stripes, but
with the 'Sic Semper Tyrannis" flag
of Virginia. When M. Jusserand made
his speech he said, among other
things: America is the only country
with which France has never fought.
France is the only country with which
American was ever an ally" And he
added: mo gift could be more valu-
able, as no part of America is dearer
than historical Virginia, the birthplace
Of the United States"

All. here is the picture taken
BY flashight at the feast
When 1t snapped, your nerves were
shaken.
Yes, they were. or shocked at least
Let us look at it together
To discover who is who
Also. try to find out whether
This is he or that is you.
For you are a Judge and he is a Sir
But one Is smudge and one is blur;
And maybe that's Scott and maybe that's
Burt,
But who is the man who is nothing but
shirt?
1t is splendid in the morning
To reflect on how you sat
When they gave to you the warning
That the lens would go to bat
How you Henryclayed your features,
How you lifted up your face,
Knowing that of all the creatures
None excels the human race.
Well, one came to speak. and one owns
bank,
But one is a streak and one is a blank
And one down in front has face that
must hurt.
But who is the man that Is nothing but
shirt?
Since Belshazzar's famous blowout
1t has always been the same,
When the flash would squirt and go out
All the diners dreamed of fame,
But upon the morrow morning
When the picture they would see,
With frown their brows adorning
Each would murmur: (Which is me?"
For there was Judge and there was
Sir
But now ones a smudge and one IL
blur,
Yet tell me, I pray--and don't think me
pert
Who is the poor man who is nothing but
shirt?
