The harmless customer leaned
across the cigar counter and smiled
engagingly at the new cashier. AS he
handed across the amount his dinner
check called for he ventured a bit of
aimless converse, for he was of that
Bort.
Funny" said he 'tnow easy it is to
spend money"
well" snapped the cashier as she
fed his fare to the register, eff money
was intended for you to hold on to the
mint would be turning out coins with

Vacancy on Railroad Commission.

The law establishing the Wisconsin
railroad rate commission provides that
one Of it's members shall be a lawyer.
In prescribing the qualifications of the
members of the commission, subsec-
tion A of section 1 of chapter 1862 Of
the laws of 1905, establishing the COM
mission, provides: "One shall have a
general knowledge of railroad law;
each of the others shall have gen
eral understanding of matters relating
to railroad transportation"
The construction of the subsection
by some lawyers is held to limit the
number of lawyers on the commission
to one, and J. H. Roemer has been
that member since the resignation of
John Barnes, now justice of the SUI
preme court. If this view is correct it
would mean that Governor elect Nc
Govern will not select either Walter
Corrigan or Walter Drew, both attor-
neys, whose names have been con-
nected with the place in the newspa-
pers recently, to the position to be
made vacant by the transfer Of Chair
man B. II. Meyer to the interstate
commerce commission.

MAKE UP YOUR MIND.

If you'll make up your mind to be
Contented with your lot
And with the optimists agree
That troubles soon forgot,
You'll be surprised to find I guess,
Despite misfortune's darts,
What constant springs of happiness
Lie hid in human hearts;
What sunny CLEANS and golden dreams
The passing years unfold
How soft and warm the lovelight beams
When you are growing old.

of the normal regents in Milwaukee,
They voted to ask the legislature for
tax Of one-sixth of a mill annually

lined we would be able 20 develop

near the edge of the grade as he dared
hoping that the horses would pass hy

was disappointed, for the animals went
one on each side of the machine. the
lines Of the harness stripped off the
lights and the glass wind shield. and
the lines caught the occupants Of the
auto around the waist and nearly
pulled them. out Of the machine. but
luckily the horses stopped before that
happened
The horses had broken away from,

they were fitted out with headlight

Rumors of an engineers strike on

Manager Kahn Of the Union Light,

noon that the local plant was getting
in car load after car load Of coal, and
that from the present rate that the
black rock was coming in, the local
heating and gas plant would be full
ly prepared to meet the situation, un-
less the railways were tied up the
entire winter.
superintendent Craver Of the North
ern Pacific has been receiving reports
almost every day regarding the

! An interesting story concerning
Capt. l. p. Baker OF Bismarck. this

It is commonly believed in Bis

worth $1,000.000 AT any rate. he
is said to be one OF the richest men
in North Dakota And how do you
suppose Captain Baker made that
much money--for he made it all since
he came to Bismarck? He made the
beginning Of 1t running steamboats,
on the Missouri river, and he has
been making money with them ever
since.
1t isn't generally known below
Sioux City that the only regular navi-
cation on the Missouri at present is
