F. D. Hughes of Larimore. one of
the old.timers of the state, has writ
Ten a letter of considerable length to
Supreme Judge c. J. Fisk asking him
to take charge of some vegetable
freaks intended for the Industrial
Exposition. Judge Hughes has an
exhibit of vegetables there. These
freak vegetables are curiosities and

the state museum if Curator Fish

ear of corn. The main ear is perfect
in formation but three sprouts or
netrois are bastard in their nature.
One sprout resembles cabbage
another a cauliflower and the third
parsnip. It is the opinion of Mr..
Hughes that the vegetables crossed

J. W. Foley Is going to leave soon
for Los Angeles. Calf, where the
poet and Mrs. Foley will spend the
winter. A man from Fontogony,

the Saturday Evening Post. 1--WE ,
have a fellow in our employ who
drills wells" said the Ohio man,
that thinks he sees in Mr.. Foley the
greatest poet of the age, and l guess
you North Dakota fellows will agree
with him. He does a little in the
poetry line himself and here is late
effusion:
Napoleon looked discouraged
As he went into the fray.
Were fighting far ahead of time"
They heard the great man say.
But circumstances force us
And We'll do the best we can.
Yet. We ought to have the service,
OF the moving picture man"
When Milton dreamed his story
And when Dante saw such sights,
Each must have felt resentment
Toward the pen that feebly writes.
For vivid illustration
On a nexpeditiius plan
A poet isn't in it
With the moving picture man.
