AN APPRECIATION.

The following was written by r. M.
Metcalf of Driscoll shortly after the
death of little tWO-year old Kenneth
Lathrop, son of Peter and Mrs. Lath-
orp Of near Driscoll:
Little Kenneth's gone and left us,
Left us one bright summers day,
Father, Mother, how they miss him,
Miss his childlike sports and play.
Miss him round the home and fireside,
Miss him when they go to rest.
Miss him in the early morning,
He the treasure Of their breast.
With tenderest hands they took him,
From the hearts so fond and true.
With tender hands they laid him,
Mid the roses freshest hue.
As the freshest buds Of roses,
Opening in the morning sun.
Plucked by tender hands and gather
ed,
When the life had just begun.
These GOD gathered in His kingdom,
In the land that knows no night.
Gone to be flower forever,
In the realms of pure delight.
Thus He calls the sweetest flowers,
From this world of sin and care,
Now to join the Heavenly family,
Ever blest with Jesus there.
He who took the little children,
Blest them in His arms and said,
Forbid them not" my precious jeWe.
els,
Placed His hands upon their head.
He is daily gathering jewels,
OF the faithful and the true.
Sinners see His arms extended,
He was crucified for you.
Will we meet our loved ones gone,
Over on the mystic shore.
Will we swell the Heavenly anthems,
Praising GOD forever more.

THOUSANDS OF TONS
0F HAY ARE Destroyed

Venlo, N. D., Oct. 8.-Thousands OF
tons of hay were destroyed last Fri
day afternoon in a prairie fire which
swept the country south of Venlo and
originated from lighted match that
had been carelessly thrown on a
bunch of hay.
The wind was blowing a gale from
the north and after the flames got
started their progress could not be
stopped. They simply devoured ev-
cry thing in their path, and it was
only by the hardest kind of work
that several buildings were saved
from the fire fiend.
1t continued as far south as Wynd-
mere and we were unable to ascer-
tain how much further. The fire
started on the west side of the 500
line and did not cross the track.
If it had secured start on the
east side of the railway it is prob
able that large portion Of the sand
hills would have been burned over.

POOR MARKSMAN

Darlington. N. d., Oct. Sin an ef-
fort to regain cup On the opposite
side Of the table containing one or
more swallows of coffee, Wilfred
Dole, young man we'll known in
Darlington, struck his mother-in-law
instead and broke one of the bones
of her face and left an ugly black spot
on her face.
That is Wilfred's story Of the fracas
but Mrs. Dole holds a different YER
sion. With her face full two feet
above the coffee cup. she cannot rec
oncile herself to believe that young
Dole is such poor marksnan, or
that he would put forth sufficient
strength in reaching for the coffee as
to break Il bone.
The matter was officially decided in
Darlington Monday when Police Mag
istrate Pryor gave the young man the
option of paying a $25 fine or board in
the county Jail for twenty-five days.
Dole took the former.

The Northern Pacific train, bearing
the delegates and railway officials re-

the; train cannot say too much tor Mr..
Thomas Cooper and the Northern Pa
cifc officials for the way III which the
train has been handled on this long trip
to Spokane and return.
A Tribune representative on the train
interviewed number of the delegates
and by reading what they say pretty
general idea can be gotten of what these
people think They were asked to men-
ton only that which appealed to them
most strongly.
DR.. James NJ. Hamilton, president of
the Montana Agricultural college: "Ihe
best congress so far held. Was attend
ed by the real farmer and scientist.
Politics were eliminated. Tendency to-
ward real better farming, instead of a
single grain crop summer falow.'
Prof. w. R. Palmer, Fargo: 1.-Two
new things Agriculture in the public
schools and purity of soils. By the lat
ter mean keeping the soil free from
plant diseases. Second, the emphasizing
of previous teachings, such as preServa-
ton of moisture by deep tillage and soil
mulch and adding organic matter and
farm economies.
Will Add Millions to Our Wealth
Geo. w. Miles, president First Ma
tional bank, Miles City: "Ihe bringing
together men who by actual experience
know what they are talking about from
every part of the world and by teach
ings and suggestions tell us what to do
and how to do it. There are millions
of acres susceptible of tillagc in the
northwest that we at one time thought
worthless, and if these experiments
prove what is claimed for them, it will
add millions to our wealth.
