Travellers Tales

do you remember John Martini,
who married the cigar, grip" asked the
travelling salesman of Bob Mcintyre a
night or two ago, and Bob said he did.
We'll, they've separated. Not on &C
count of anything that the lirl did of
which she was conscious, and not be-
cause Jack wasn't good to her, but it
was queer chain of circumstances
that led them to part. She wasn't a
Fargo cigar girl you know, but she
used to sell cigars in one of the Da-
kota towns, before they stopped dice
shaking. You know Jack and the girl
thought a good bit OF each other and
the way they mushed over each other
would have made anybody but 60
year-old widower sick. Well, the we'd
ding took place all right and was at
1t and it was a swell affair. They lived
together for month, when / noticed
that Jack looked pale and wan, as
though he had been having a whole
lot of his old-time sessions. This
lasted two weeks more, and l saw that
he and his wife had parted. OF course
blamed him, and started to read the
riot act to him, but he actually cried

fault. 1t isn't Tessies either, so that
she could help it. She is suffering
from terrible misfortune. She is a
talker in her sleep, and all she talks
about Is of business in the cigar store.
After she gets a sleep at night she used
to say in the sweetest kind of a man
ner: Nice day, my, but you're looking
good today. How do you feel?' and
honestly could almost feel her smile
in her old seductive, cigar girl way,
and then she'd say: Shake you a
game or let's try it, double or moth
Ing. Oh, you're not geing away right
now, are you? and a whole lot more
gush like that. If l awakened her
once I've awakened her 500 times only
to hear the same old thing: Want to
shake oh, let's shake Well, /
couldn't stand it any longer, and she's
going back to the cigar stand, and T.
oh, weH-I guess I'm going crazy
and off he went to his room on the
fourth floor to dream OF his cigar girl
and the dice
Mark w. Davis, the well known auto
man of Lisbon, was in the city one
night last week on his way to Steele
to close UP a deal of some kind, and he
took time to say that he was glad that
the Fargo Automobile club had been
organized, for he believed that it could
do great deal of good in making the
roads about this section of the state
much better. cit would be a mighty
nice thing if the auto enthusiasts of
Lisbon and every other town In the
state would form local organizations,
said Mr. Davis. in this way more
interest would be taken in the work
of making the roads better. I am also
glad that there is now state organi.
zation, and I hope that it, too will be
beneficial in securing legislation that
will be of benefit to all of the autoists
of the entire state. The auto business
is assuming vast proportions in this
state, and hundreds of farmers and
business men in general are buying
machines right now, while many more
vii order, and the time is right here
now when the auto men ought to gel
busy and do what they can for the
betterment of the roads of the state
am glad to see that the good roads
convention comes to Fargo June % and
%. I hope that 1t will do much good
for the roads. There is nothing thai
