]. B. Sharpe for lieutenant governor
is straight, square and has plenty of
ability. He has had much experience
and will make splendid lieutenant
governor.
John Flittie as candidate for state
auditor needs no introduction to
North Dakota voters. No republican
will ever have reason to regret vote
for John Flittie.
There is no better qualified man in
the state for the position of secretary
Of state than Frank Henry. He re-
sponded to. the call Of his country
when volunteers were needed for the
SDanish-American war. He Is clean,
straight and square. He deserves the
support that should be given ALI clean
and ambitious young men.
No republican of the state could ask
for a better candidate than Gunder
Olson of Walsh county for state treas
urer. With him in the Office of the
state treasurer the treasury of the

Gibraltar. He is an old time resident
Of the state, straight republican and
q fine citizen.

watchword. Were he to be accorded
a term in the senate the state would
be possessed Of an active and untiring
representative, one with ability to

Of the kind needful to the public. In
ability he is exactly Gronna's oppo.

A Lay on the Missouri Hen.

We have read of Maud or a
summer day, who raked, barefooted
the new mown hay. We have
read of the maid in the early morn,
who milk the COW with the
crumpled horn; and we've read lays
the poets sing of the rustlin9 corn
and the flowers of spring; but of all
the lays of tongue and pen there's
naught like the lay of the Missouri
hen. Long before Maud had raked
her hay the Missouri hen had be
gun to lay, ard ere the milkmaid
stirs a peg the hen is up and has
dropped her egg. The corn must
rustic and the flowers must spring
if they ehold their own with the
barnyard ring. If Maud is needing
a hat or gown she doesn't hustle
her hay to town; she goes to the
store end obtains her suit with a
basket full of fresh hen fruit; IL the
the milkmaid's beau makes a Sum
day call she doesn't feed him milk
at all, but works up eggs into a Gus
tard pie and stuffs him full of Gus
tard fry; and when the old man
wants horn, he take the druggist
a load of corn? Not much. He
simply robS a nest, to town he goes
you know the rest. He fingers
there and he talks, perchance, Of
true reform and correct finance
while his poor wife stays at home
and scolds, but is saved from want
by these self-same fowls, for while
the husband fingers there, she
watches the cacklinS hen with care
and gathers eggs, and eggs she'll
hide till she gets enough to stem
the tide. Then hail, all hail, to the
Missouri hen, the grandest blessing
of all to men. Throw up your hat
and make Rome how'll Corn may
be king, but it's plainly seen that
the Missouri hen is the Missouri
| Queen. Selected.

n HAS BIG POSSIBILITIES
Fhe Wlreless Telegraph and TeIe-
fofe Are As Yet still In
Their Infancy.

"Fhe possibilities Of wireless
telegraph in all the works Of modern
industry are immense" said DR..
Frederick Fl. Millener of Omaha,
wireless expert Of the Union Pacific
railroad.
"It may be noted that whereas it
will not take the place Of our wire
installations at present, it will add
to their efficiency. With proper con-
troll Of the wireless installation, tele-
phones can he signaled from a dis
lance, messages can be sent to any
point and then transmitted by means
of wireless telephone. In that way
the installation of copper wire will
be reduced, torpedoes can be con-
trolled and steered, guns fired from
a point far away from where they
are stationed. Many wireless experts
have thought that the japanese used
the wireless system to blow up the
Russian ships.
"The wireless for telegraph pur-
poses will become more and more
improved, but the simple fact re-
mains that in all such work the man
who can make the biggest sound will
Get ahead of all others. One Of the
important uses of the wireless will
be that of making more efficient the
block system in use on railroads, so
that il will he possible to signal a
train at almost any point along its
route" -Dcnver Republican.

Our Cook.

She broke our dishes by the score
She broke the pots and pans.
She broke the mantel and the floor;
She broke six garbage cans.
She broke our cut glass treasure up
In groups of twos and threes
She broke an iron drinking cup
With ease.
She broke the chimney, too one day
A fact which grieved us sore,
And then, to add to our dismay,
She broke the furnace door.
She left at last with pleasant joke,
While we surveyed the muss.
The very last thing that she broke
Was us.
