Will Mitchell, printer, newspaper
man. real estate dealer, politician
etc has had an experience. He is
trying to figure out what there is IN
his personal appearance to indicate
that he is an easy mark. OF course
the handsome young man wears
diamond stud as only newspaper
man can, aftes he gets out OF the
business. and shows other evidences
of prosperity. Yesterday he walked
about the streets jingling three Sill
yer shekels in his pocket, and last
night in a local cafe three men came
in and took seats at his table. They
were in deep conversation when one
said: 1T seems hard to part with
the sparkles, coming as they did as
birthday presents from father. Fine
old boy, that father of mine; pity he
had to die" and the orphan fell to
musing. Finally in a show of reck'
lessness he continued: "But what's
the use. cannot eat these diamonds
Throwing a ring and a stud before
Mr.. Mitchell on the tablet and must
eat Of course there is no pawnshop
in a town of this size and I will have
to pledge these valuables somewhere
until l make a raise. Pretty tough,
eh?" addressing the intended victim,
who had paid no attention to the
hard up man. Mitchell gave the fel'
low a vacant stare. gathered up his
check, paid the cashier and walked
out, saying to himself, 81 am too
smooth to be taken in by such cattle
as these" Later he learned that the
stones were the real article and that
they had been pledged for $40. Their
real value Is over $500.
A well-known politician at the Nc
Ken~ie last night was discussing the
action of the Minot Commercial club
in hanging "knocker" of the town.
ut ia probably done as an example,"
said the gentleman, Ito teach the
other knockers what they may expect
But if surface indications 60 for any
thing the hangman of Minot is going
to have a busy season. Minot knock
ers are certainly hammer artists when
they get started. They seem to have
knocked the town out of normal
school, or at least put it out of ex-
istence for the present.
Tomorrow morning Barnes county
is coming to the big exposition by
auto. If the weather will not per-
nit of an auto trip the Barnes boos-
tiers will take the train. A Valley
City man has prepared badges to be
worn by the visitors and they read:
Here's hunch!,
We are the bunch
From beautiful, bounteous Barnes.
We've corn in shock
Grain and stock.
On 500 acre farms.
No tombstones in ours.
But bouquets of flowers.
Hip! Hip! Hurrah, for Barnes.
The gentleman who guards the
petrified human foot in the Stark
county booth has submitted the fol.
lowing inspired lines:
The Industrial Exposition.
North Dakota's exposition is now in a
position
To show the people the resources Of
the state.
There you see the grains and grasses,
There growing lads and lasses,
There root-crops and the soils that
grow them,
And clays and coal and sand.
There machines for various uses,
There the people that produces
Everything that's needed to make life
happy and refined;
There We see fine furs and laces,
That enhance the beauty of the faces,
OF the danes and damsels of fair
DakOta's state
There we see the men and women
With right acumen
To build up an empire on ancient
hunting grounds.
There We see our hopes fruition
Mans best estate and condition
A free and happy people, Independent
and true.
