The Aim of Life.

We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts.
not breaths;
In feelings, not in figures on a dial
We should count time by heart throbs
He most lives
Who thinks most, feels the noblest. acts
the BEST
And he whose heart beats quickest lives
the longest
some
Whose fat blood sleeps as IL slips along
their veins.
Life Is but means unto an end, that
end
Beginning, mean and end to all things
God
The dead have all the glory of the world.

The Smallest She Had.


A street car conductor one Saturday
afternoon had such good run of bust
ness that he had difficulty in keeping
himself supplied with small change.
Many persons who patronized his car
handed him dollars and bills of large
denominations in payment of their
fares.
The conductor managed to get along
fairly well until a woman carrying a
tiny infant boarded his car. When he
approached the woman for her fare
she handed him five dollar bill.
''Is that the smallest you have, mad
ann" queried the conductor, fearing
another stringency in change.
The woman looked at the conductor
and then at the baby and made this
surprising reply:
Eyes. ! have been married only
twelve months"

Dickinson is fortunate in her tele-
phone service, supplied by the North
Dakota Independent Telephone Com
pany.
The apparatus used by the Dickinson
exchange is of the very latest and
most practical type throughout. Those
who know, will agree that no better
apparatus can be purchased than that
manufactured by the Kellogg and the
Dean people. whose appliances are
used exclusively. A storage battery
of II cells discharging 26 volts, is
the operating current in this modern
central energy plant and this current
is applied to the individual subscrib-
er's telephone in series when he re-
moves the telephone receiver from its
hook to signal central. through light
ing a lamp in front of the operator.
These storage batteries are charged
through the use Of the lately intro
duced mercury rectifier. which re-
ceives alternating current from the
Hughes & Diieters lines and trans
forms it into a direct current. Two
