were out any place where he wasn't
known. This worked all right until
one day he and she went to a picnic
near Oshkosh, Wis. where he used to
clerk in a hotel and he had her close
beside him all the time. You see
these old fellows who have young
girls get mighty shy and want to keep
their eye, yes, both eyes, open all the
time, and so he didn't let her get more
than ten feet away. He didn't know
at the time, but at the picnic were a
lot of people from the town he used to
live in and he ran right into them,
and was so glad to see his old friends

o. A. Hazen, cashier of the First
National bank of Larimore, Grand
Forks county, was a visitor in the city
today and yesterday. He has been at
tending the state aerie of the Fra
ternal Order of the Eagles of which
he is the treasurer, and has been en-
joying himself as he always does when
he comes to Fargo. Mr.. Hazen has
been in the banking business in this
state for many years, for before he
located in Larimore he was connected
with one Of the Wahpeton banks. He
is quite a pleasant gentleman, and
has a host of friends in this city.
When asked as to how the crops were
doing up his way, he said thew were
much in the same shape as the bal.
ance of the state, not as good as thew
might be but still he believed there
would be enough to cut and make a
showing. Said he: 1--WE don't expect
to get rich off of our crops this year.
but we will make a showing of some
kind. Yes, everybody I have seen at
Larimore or in the vicinity thereof is
going to take in the state fair in Far
go. Our people are in fairly good cir
anyhow, not much like
they were when the country was first
settled, for a bad crop in those DAYS
would have meant disaster sure. we
can manage to wiggle through all
right with what we have, grin and
bear it and no one appear to be the
wiser"

asked as to the crop conditions up his
way he remarked: "Just as good as |
we could possibly expect. Somehow
