A lady who understands advertising
says: mo lady wishes to be looked
upon as shopping fiend; she does not
care to 60 into store and have mer-
chant show all his stock in order to
find out whether he keeps what she
wishes to purchase or not land wheth-
er the article is sold at price she can
afford. 1t is much easier and more
please mt to look through the advertis-
ments of newspaper than it is to
bore the clerks and waste her own
time. Next to the local vs. items
and editorials the adver tisemen is in
paper, stating articles for sale, with
, the prices, aremost interesting of any
thing the paper contains. The right
! kind of advertising will keep mucn OF
the money at home that now goes to
the large cities. s.-Forrestburg Seminal.
We wish some one would suggest to
that man Curtiss up at Aberdeen that
he is just ahout big enough mentally
to fill the governors chair. Then we
would like to see him get on the pri-
mary ticket. o, wouldn't it be fun
though. About the only support he
would have would be Johnny Nipple
out at Pierre. The way the newspa p
er fellows would hop to him would be
something fierce. This is the fellow
who was in the main res ponsible for
the manner in which the late lie; isla-
ture threw the harpoon into the news
papers. This is the Statesman who
dubbed the publishers of the state "a
set of grafters.. Mr.. Curtiss will
find some day that "grafters" can also
become Knockers. though it is their
business to boost.-Bridgew ater Tri-

Some of the old-tmers have been
telling of blizzard stories again today.
One of the worst blizzirads along in the
'7Os occurred over in Ebe Rathburn's s
neighborhood west of Goodell. A
farmer went out after load of hay.
He was smoking pipe when the bliz-
zard struck, and It blew all the tobacco
out and froze the pipe to his mouth,
and then the snow sifted through the
pipe stem, fillins him with sno'v-balls.
They poured hot water through the
[pipe to thaw the balls and the poor
man sweat icicles for neary week.
1t was a hard winter. 1t was pretty
tough up in Madison township where
Alfred Durant lived, too. A pumpkin
froze so solid that they used it for an
anvil for two years, and the live stock
looked so tough that they m ade axe
| handles out of their shadows. The
wind blew snow through the keyhole
and drifted in to the clock, making it
run so slow that there were only four
days in the week. And the nose of
| the teakettle was frozen off. Those
were days that tried mems souls and
uppers, too. Bailey of Britt
In many towns of this size women s
clubs are numerous, and while they
are criticised by some they are GER
| tainly beneficial in many respects.
In small towns and villages the clu b
has been special providence to many a
weary woman of few early advantages.
They have strengthened her two weak
hands with the combined strength of
twenty or hundred; they have taken
dull uncut gem of thought and
polished it until it has been fit for the
purest setting in refined gold; they
have mastered great difficulties, con-
querad absurd prejudices and solved
difficult problems; and the grandest
work of all has been to teach womer
their own possibilities and the glory
Iof their heritage. Too many women,
though, in their misconception of the
