Some Famous Ounces.

Literary history is crowded with in
stances Of torpid and uninteresting
boyhood. Gibbon was pronounced
"dreadfully dull" and the utmost that
was predicted of Hume in his youth
was that "he might possibly become a
steady merchant" Adam Clarke, after
ward so deeply skilled in oriental Ian
guages and antiquities, was pronounc-
ed by his father to be "a grievous
Ounce" and Of Boileau, who became a
model for Pope, it was said that he
was a youth Of little understanding.
Dryden was "a great numskull," Tho
went through a course Of education
at Westminster, but the "s%timulating
properties Of DR.. Busby's classical
ferrule were thrown away upon the
drone who was to be known as Glor1'
ous John. '"-London Standard.

CLUB HELPING DICKINSON
AND NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT

President A. D. Heaton has issued
the following open letter which should
have the careful consideration of every
business man in Dickinson:
Dear SIR
Until our section of North Dakota is
more densely populated and the estab-
lishment Of industries and factories is
more practical. Dickinson's prosperity
must depend very largely on successful
agriculture and some of the various
forms of stock growing.
You may not realize it. but the work
the Dickinson Commercial Club is doing
to promote better farming, crop rota-
ton, stock raising, dairying and its
agitation and work for better roads, is
a very important one.
Among the things our club has done
so far this yea might be mentioned, as
follows: Afillation with the Feder-
alton of Commercial Clubs of North Da-
k0la to better advertise the resources of
the state; the maintenance of an ex-
hibit at the North Dakota Industrial Ex-
position al Bismarck. North Dakota the
financing and the bearing Of a portion
Of the expense of the Governors special,
advertising our western state through
the east. These matters are a good deal
like other forms of advertising; the
good is hard to measure by direct re-
suits, but we could hardly get along
without them.
You certainly must feel the import
ance of this work and the Dickinson
Commercial Club needs your personal
service and financial aid. Don't you
want to do your share towards it's sup
port? If you are a member and your
dues are in arrears. please send the sec
rotary a check to put you in good stand
ing. If you are not a member, send in
your application fee of $40 and S. to
cover your semi annual dues. Don't put
it off. but sit down ana send in a check.
Don't make it necessary for the club
officers to solicit you, personally, as
they are as busy with their personal
affairs as you are.
Yours truly.
A. D. HEATON,
President.

If so, how far back from the water

cause Of no little trouble and has
never been settled to the satisfaction
Of different parties.

they were ordered of by H. R. D.
Bentley, who owns most Of the land
most Of the land surrounding the
lake, but the boys commended that as
long as they were at the waters edge
Of the lake they weer not on Bent
ley's land. and refused to vacate. The
next morning Bentley appeared be-
fore Judge Sperry and demanded
warrants for their arrest. charging
them with trespassing.. The gentle
men appeared in court and entered a
plea Of not guilty. H. Van Freden-
berg appeared for the defense and
moved that the case be dismissed for
the reason that the complaint did not
specify where the offense was COM
mitted, the motion was granted and
thus ended the case.
1t is possible that Bentley will
carry the case to the higher court in
order to ascertain whether or not he
owns the land along the shore.
