There Isn't Anyone for Me to Play
With Any More"

CThe last words of Mark Twain.)
The glow Is fading from the western sky,
And one by one my comrades, as of yore,
Have given up their play and said, good
bye;
There isn't any one for me to play with
any more.
Don't cry, dear heart! for I am worn and
old;
No longer a 7 largess in my store:
Fen loves best gifts to me l could not
hold;
There isn't any one for me to play with
any more.
! miss the ender handclasp OF old friends,
The kisses Of the " ones gone be-
fore;
IT'S lonely, when the heart first compre-
bends,
There isn't any one for me to play with
any more.
I need these loving hearts, so fond and
leal;
! want them In my arms, as heretofore;
When they are reached-I shall no longer
feel,
There isn't any one for me to play with
any more.

Shot Through Hand,

Bismarck, N. D., June 1S.-Paul
Cook, the 15-year- old son of Mrs. ollie
E. Cook, was shot through the palm
Of his right hand at 1880 Thursday
morning.
Paul and Frazier Mitchell were out
hunting gophers about a quarter Of a
mile north Of the state capitol. They
were using a 22-calibre, twenty five
shot Marlin repeating rifle. The
piece had been fired and the empty
shell elected which operation cooked
the uiece, again placing it in readi-
ness for the next shot The boys
were not aware Of this, however, and
Paul rested the rife on the ground
with his right hand over the muzzle.
In some unaccountable manner the
gun went off and the bullet tore a
hole through. the palm of the hand
below the index and middle fingers.
The boys ran to the capitol building
where one of the employees bound the
wound with an improvised bandage
and hack was called to take him
to the hospital were the wound was
cauterized and dressed. There will be
no danger from the accident save
very sore hand for a few days, unless
the wound becomes infected.

theft took place at his farm directly
south Of town on Sunday night last
when the team was taken from his
pasture. He noticed the horses were
gone on Monday, but supposed they
had gotten out Of the pasture and
strayed away. He looked the country
over for several miles around and did
not find any trace of them. Return

premises showed that the wire had

SOAKING Rain
SAVES THE CROP

GREATLY NEEDED RAIN
YESTERDAY.

ROCK Lake, N. D., June 18.-This dis
trict was blessed with good rain
yesterday morning. The crops seemed
to be decreasing rather than growing,
though prior to the last rain some
growth had been made. The situation
seemed very serious to some of the
farmers, and they began to put on the
blue look
Some of them need not have worried.
The grain was weak looking in few
places, though of them all flax seemed
the most cheerful and determined to
live. One farmer has a good showing
for a crop of corn, and it has Jumped
during the last few days, not blade
being visible about four days ago. The
rain has certainly saved some of the
crops around here.

MCKENZIE COUNTY GOING

Schafer N. D., June .1s.-The pre-.
diction is made that Mckenzie county
will produce more flax this season
than any other county in the state, or
In fact, the whole United States. The
lack of railroad does not seem to deter
the farmers from seeding every acre
or sod he is able to turn over, nor does
the prospect Of having to make a long
haul to market have any restraining
influence.
