seize this opportunity He made the
motion for the appointment of the com
mittee. He said he believed that $25,-
600 could easily be raised, just as II had
been before for the same purpose.
Chairman Smith said that really the
500 only wanted thu right of way
through the city and the terminals.
J. B. Folsom said he was most hearti-
ly In favor of the proposal. He stated
that some months ago he had been talk
ing with President Pennington and that
the latter had told him that the people
of Fargo need rot worry, that his road
intended to enter Fargo. In closing
his remarks Mr.. Folsom said that II it
costs $4,000 or even $4,000 it was a
proposition that Fargo could not af-

Col. Morton Page said that the 500

WORDS OF WISDOM.

A good guesser always boasts OF his
intuition.
II at first you don't succeed, blame
1t on your luck.
Don't worry, and you'll have moth
ing to worry you.
A girls ideal is naturally shattered
when he goes broke,
If you have any doubts about a
strange bed look before you sleep.
OF course the best thing with which
to feather your nest is cash down.
A married man can always get a
little off his sentence for bad be-
havior,
Lots Of politeness is wasted on
people who are too slick to be taken
in by it.
Even when a woman feels she is
worth her weight in gold she hates to
get fat.
If wishes were horses there
wouldn't be any room in the world
for automobiles.
Virtue, being its own reward, you
can't very well blame a man II he is
good for nothing.
The fellow who was weighed in the
balance and found wanting must have
neglected to drop cent in the slot.
Some men can't even find fault
without acting as though they had
discovered something to be proud Of.
When fellow feels like throwing
himself down and worshiping a girl
he should wait She will probably
throw him down herself.-From "The
Musinges of a Gentle Cynic," in the
New York Times.

only girl I've ever loved in this
world"
They glared at each other like two
angry bulls, and then simultaneously
burst out laughing. Again slmulta-
neously they hit the ben and broke
the thing, and as the waiter bolted in
with a scared look they each yelled
for a soda,
These arrived before they had got
through with their laugh, and as the
waiter left the room they silently
clicked glasses and drank.
"Cigarette?" Glynde showed his
case across the table.
Thanks, old man." said Hngay.
For several thoughtful moments
the two sat blowing rings Glynde

curly, and thought, with a certain
pride, what a good-looking, clean
limbed chap he was. He could well
imagine what a poor chance he would
stand against a man with Teddy's
kind of nose, eyes and hair. Then,
too, he was so rippingly sunburnt,
and he had always heard-he under
stood none Of the idosyncrasies Of
girls himself-that sunburn went a
long way. He suddenly caught Hill
gays calculating eye.
And then Teddy ran over Jack.
Not a dogs chance against a man
like Jack" thought Hilgay. Look
at that nose, those eyes and that hair
and the way he tans is simply i'm

before what awfully decent hands and
feet he's got"
Thus both men sat, running up a

Glynde abruptly.

"Why not? We've always done II

Thanks" said Hilgay.
They got up. Their healthy facei
wore extremely cheerful expressions
expressions Of sporting keenness, hon
esty and a desire to do their leve
best.
A man called Carbis came in wear

Between the crcling ocean sea
And the poplars Of Perscphone
There lies a strip Of barren sand,
Flecked with the seas last spray and
strOwn
With waste leaves Of poplars, blown
From gardens Of the shadow land.
With affairs of old sacrifice
The shore is set in mournful wise
The mlsts upon the ocean brood;
Between the water and the AIR
The clouds are born that float and
fare
Between the water and the wood.
Upon the gray sea never sail
OF mortas passed within our hail,
Where the last weak waves faint and

We heard within the poplar pale

that, he was a very decent chap, play
ing tennis with the best of them, and
sang songs like an angel with a sense
Of humor
Halo, you chaps
Halle" said Glynde and Hilgay
together.
Jolly night, isn't it?"
"Jolly," said Glynde.
Every Jolly" said Hilgay.
"You two chaps look jolly, too. "
Carbis grinned at them so widely and
unaffectedly that It was almost pos
sible for them TO see his heart.
ave feel jolly" said Glynde,
every jolly said Hilgay.
Instinctively they both made a
move towards the door,
Carbis began TO tweak his fingers
nervously, although the beam was
still on his face. 81 say he said,
you fellows, you might give me a
minute If you haven't anything better
to do VIII you, please?"
Glynde and Hilgay turned back.
After all, he had been to Elton with
Glynde and Cambridge with Hilgay.
Besides, he sang a jolly good song.
They returned his grin with some cor
diality
Then Ca-bis became fustered. "Er
-Tm-Tm intensely happy, and as
you chaps have always been my idea
Of men, and I've always liked you
both extremely / should very much
like You to be the first to--to know
why I'm-Im intensely happy-er-
and to drink me good luck, and that
kind Of thing, win you, pleasc?"
Rather old man." said Glynde,
heartily.
81 should think we would, Carbis,
old boy, said Hlgay
you viii? Oh, now come, that's
nice of you both. I'm going to be
married. The day was fixed tonight
She's really and truly-the only girl
in the world.
Glynde and Hilgay exchanged
glances Of sympathetic amusement.
"Be good enough to wish me happi
ness and long life, don't you know
It's a Jolly old English institution
and I've known you two--first one
and then the other-for the best part
of my life so far"

glasses. Carbis cleared his throat and
steadied the culver in his voice.
"To the lady who is to honor me by
being my wife. Her name is Enid
Allerton."
Long after Carbis had hurried
away, hot and happy, Glynde and Hill
gay stood silently looking into their
glasses. The waiter twice came in to

nothing but bed.

HoboeS En- Route.
BY A. No. 1.

One evening. after being driven out
from under the overland Limited,
we climbed into box car loaded with
lumber on a freight going East. We
closed the door, and after pulling
some of the lumber against It IN
such a fashion that the brakeman
looking for a rake-off Ga dollar tax
levied on tramps by train crews)
couldn't open it, we laid ourselves
upon the lumber. Soon the train
began TO get under Roadway, and at
each Jolt Of the trucks, up and down,
sideways and crossways, the lumber
would follow suit, only little harder,
as before 1t had time to settle, after
each Jolt. the next one would send 1t
dying again into the air,
Poor Bobby! This was his first eX-
perience as a boI-car tourist. He
/ had often complained to me after
riding underneath the limited flyers
about the sand, cinders and rocks that
we're hitting him, but this ride was
new experience, and he groaned: ION,
A No. 1, wish we could get out OF
this forsaken old rattleboX. Let's
get off at the next stop and take the
Overland" lie kept on bothering me
so much that I had to tell him that
in the deserts passenger trains make
mighty few stops, and that We might
have to wait a week or longer al a
lone depot before we could catch an
other ride; and that coyotes would
make short work of us should they
catch us after dark. Only by thus
, soaring him could I persuade him 70
wait until we reached the end Of the
division. The very next day, after
being driven off at a lone water tank,
we were forced once more to take a
freight car
We found this one loaded with
large lump coal. Here poor Bobby
suffered agony, because the coal, be-
ing packed solid to the floor, exactly
responds to every jolt the springs Of
the car make, and as this kind Of a
load reaches below the centre line,
the top of the car tumbles from side
to side. straining, creaRing and groan-
ing. Bobby was grooming, too; it was
too much for him. He shouted TO
me, over the Internal noises: "a No.
l, that lumber car yesterday allowed
us to lie at least fat on our backs,
but these miserable coal Jumps won't
even permit this, and the racket is
making me deaf"
But, poor boy, he didn't know
there IS a limit in tough boy-car rid
Ing, and that very night We had a
chance to try this limit. We had
climbed into a box car loaded with
rough, coated pig iron. It's a bad
proposition to ride and worse when
the car is overloaded, as this one
surely was. The springs seemed tc
have been forgotten when the cal
was built, and poor Bobby's lamen'
tations were an unmistakable meas
urement as to what is the limit o.
misery in riding in box cars.
He shouted to me over the jump
ing, humping, racket-raising pig
iron bars: Every bone in my bod!
is aching, my insides are all broker
loose, my back is all twisted, can
stand, sit up, or lie down to rest oil
these rough, jolting pig-iron bars
Don't you wish we had that coal ca
to ride again instead Of this one?"-
From Bobby Lee" in The Bohemian
Magazine.
