The Day of the
Long Letter is Past
NO ONE HAS THE TIME EITHER
TO WRITE OR TO READ ONE.

HOWEVER much the fashion once
upon time, letter writing is sadly
on the wane.
Who would have the patience now
adays to wander through the twelve
page-aye, and more-descriptive epis.
ties of our grandmothers' day? We
moderns exclaim impatiently, Life Il
too short"
We have rather a contempt for
man or woman much given to letter
writing, and the girl who wants ia
make hit nowadays with the men
let's them do all the phoning and writ
Ing.
And indeed it is getting a mighty
dangerous thing to scribble overmuch
Many people have the unpleasant habit
Of keeping notes written in fondesi
confidence-yes, indeed-and of using
them afterward too. In this respect
gentlemen" are as much to blame az
the weaker sex, and more, and q
girl ought to think twice before trus+
ing any man to the extent of writing
him a silly letter.
AS a matter of fact, the girl who
thinks she is going to recall some wan
dering man to her side by means or a
coy letter or else pique him into adj
mtring her more makes sad, sad mts-
take. 1t is the unusual man who likes
to be written to. The ordinary male
creature likes to do all the hard worn
himself, and anything in the faintesi
degree savoring Of an effort to attract
his attention destroys a good deal OF
his interest.
Indifference has done more to attract
men than cleverness from time imme
mortal
Almost as foolish as she who writei
to men is the woman who bombardi
her friends with notes, postals, etc, or
every sort Of pretense.
Truly she has not much to do. Som'
women lead such empty lives that they
actually write long letters to infants
under a year old, and-whisper it!-th'
number of those who write to pet dog
is not so small as one could wish 1T
Deliver me from the woman wM
writes useless letters. says this up t.
date, practical, sensible world, and
is right, for the woman who sits aroun'
in a kimono all day long scribblint
empty, vapid notes to a score of friendi
is worse than waster of time. Shel
a horrible bore.

Malloy, who has held the Office for a
number Of years e. u. Wade, who
defeated Mr.. Torson two years ago,

Matt o'Neil headed farming outfit
which he was taking out to his farm
on the North Dakota side, near the
Sheyenne river this morning. Mr..

his farming operations this year.
w. H. Diemert expects to HE himself
for an extensive eastern and southern
trip for business and pleasure in the
course of a few days, and he will be
accompanied by his wife
A. ]. Williams was a passenger to
the cities last night.
1t is a pleasure to report that Mrs,
e. E. Sharp was a great deal better
this morning and the doctor reports
return to normal conditions, all Of
which has relieved Attorney Sharp OF
much concern.
Generally the farmers are approving
of the present weather conditions,
which are encouraging because they
mean favorable conservation of tho
moisture, and IL the clearing comes
with moderately warm weather in a
week or so seeding operations will be-
come very active in Clay county from
one end to the other.

PUTTING the Curb on.

Youths Companion: The passeng-
ers in an accommodation train which
was winding it's way through New
Hampshire, were interested and anus
ed by an elderly couple who sat in
the middle of the car.
They talked as if there was no one
else in the car; therefore, having
heard most of their private plans, no
one was surprised to have the old
man take the assembled company fully
into his confidence. At one station he
rose and addressed the passengers in
general
Can anybody change a IS bill for.
two twos and a one, or Ave ones?" he
inquired.
II cam said a brisk woman, and the
transfer was quickly made.
Now, could anybody change this 81
bill for four quarters or tens and
fives?" asked the old man
Il can give you two fifties," said a
man from the rear seat, unless
somebody else can do better
1t appeared that nobody could, or,
at least, nobody offered, so as the train
car to the possessor of the two so cent
pieces.
Thank ye," he said, as he took the
money. I'm obliged, though I'd have
liked the quarters best. You see.
Marthy has set her mind to stop off

Interesting CASE
TO Be APPEALED
CASE HEARD IN THE FEDERAL
COURT BEFORE JUDGE AMIDoN
WILL BE APPEALED TO THE
UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT
OF APPEALS.

Judge Lauder Of Wahpeton has been
in Fargo for some time this week set
ting up a number Of affairs in the
case of w. A. Hanson VS.. Lochen-
mailer & Nagle, which he won in the
federal court here last January.
While here Judge Lauder told rep
resentative of The Forum that the case
was going to be appealed to the United
States circuit court Of appeals and that
he was again getting ready to hold the
judgment secured by his client, the
plaintiff, in Judge Amidon's court. The
case is one of the most interesting
ones on record.
Hanson, who owned $50 acres of land
in Logan county, sold it for $4,000 to
Lochenmaier & Nagle, who are real
estate agents at Lehr. The land men
paid down $500 to hold the deal and
gave a note for $4,000 in thirty days
and another for the same amount to
be paid in five years. When the note
became due the land men refused TO
pay.
Lochenmaier & Nagle sold this land
to a man named Bailey in Minneapolis
for a good round profit without per-
hitting Hanson to have any knowledge
of the DEAL Hanson had never offered
his land for sale but was persuaded
by the real estate firm to sell, and
he did so.
Bailey paid down $500 on the deal
and then returned to the mill city, and
has never been heard from since.
Lochenmaier & Nagle refused to pay
the notes, and in their answer alleged
that Bailey was acting with Hanson
and that the two men were working
together to stick the defendants for
the sum of money amounting to So
600 in the end. although only half OF
this amount as this time.

POLLOCK PUTS
LID ON LANGOON

Langdon, N. D., March 29.--Judge
Pollock acting for Judge Kneeshaw at
Langdon, yesterday issued an injunc-
ton for one year against five Langdon
business places, dealt blind plugging in
that city a death blow for all time
and placed the costs Of the actions
against the business places as a lien
against the property.
The business places affected are the
u. c. T., Columbia and Ironclad no
tells, which must close the doors Of the
room the liquor was sold in for one
year, and the Ferguson and Francis
drug stores, which must close up their
entire business for the next year A
permanent injunction against the SELL
ing Of liquor at any of the FIVE places
was also issued.
These actions were brought last fall
by Spec. Asst. Atty. Gen. P. D. John
son and assisted by States Atty. G.
Crimson of Cavalier county, has prose-
cuted the cases with the results that
prohibition has won a notable victory
in that county. When the proprietors
of the five places appeared before
Judge Pollock the stipulated that they
had violated the liquor laws, as charg-
ed against them and the above penal
ties were imposed.
After issuing the injunction the
Judge also placed the costs Of the &C
tion against the defendants and ruled
that the costs would be a lien against
the property. The costs amount to
considerable sum, due to the longevity
of the action and the amount of ex-
penses incurred in the prosecution.
Surrendered Permits.
States Attorney Crimson also start
ed an action against the drug stores
to compel them to surrender their
liquor permits, but before evidence
was taken the two druggists, Francis
and Ferguson, voluntarily surrendered
their permits. H. A. Close, the only
other druggist in Langdon with a IL
quor permit then voluntarily surren-
dered his permit to sell liquor to the
court There was no action pending
against Close but he decided not to
run the risk of future trouble. This
makes Langdon an absolutely dry
town, so far as blind plugging is con-
cerned and States Attorney Crimson
announced last night that he would
continue his fight against liquor viola
lions in other parts OF the county II
the men did not close up and stop the
| illegal sale.
Contempt Proceedings Quashed.
The proprietors of the Columbia no.
| tel were also brought before Judge
Pollock charged with contempt of
court for violating a temporary in
| junction issued against them last fall
| The evidence showed that the sheriffs
deputies had not properly served the
| injunction on the proprietors and the
proceedings were dismissed.
May Raise RielIey's Bail.
This morning before Justice Berg, at
Langdon, States Attorney Crimson
made motion to have the bail of Dr.
Rielley, charged with second degree
murder raised from $4,000 to $4,000
DIR. Kelley is at present under arrest
and will remain in custody until it is
decided what the amount of his bail
will be. He had secured the $4,000

KILLED eY TIE LIMITED.
Pioneer Farmer at Ashby Was Walk
ing on the Track.

ing on the Track.
According to The Fergus Falls
Journal one Of the saddest accidents
that has occurred in that locality in
recent years took place at Ashby Mon
day evening. Frank Caldwell, 81
years of age, one of the highly re-
spected citizens there, being struck
and instantly killed by the westbound
Oriental Limited. which is due in this
CITY at. 4:41 p. m. The train travels
at terrific speed and no stop is made
at Ashby.
Mr.. Caldwell was walking along the
track when the accident occurred. The
engineer is said to have blown the
whistle. and he stepped off the track,
but apparently decided that he would
have a better place to stand at the OPP
posite side, and accordingly attempted
to recross in front OF the rapidly on
| coming train. He had misjudged the
distance and was struck with the ter
jrible force of the enormous engine,
which hurled him from the track, and
killed him instantly. The unfortunate
man was one OF the pioneers Of this
section, having come from Wisconsin
/ with an OK team, forty years ago. and
taken the homestead where he has
ever since resided.

Chicago Gossip.

Chicago, March 2s.-Traders who
watched operations in the wheat pit
yesterday said that So per cent of the
business was by professionals who
were bears and 10 per cent was COM
mission house business. They re-
garded this percentage as too small
for advances to be maintained any
length of time. All the big money
makers who have been most success
full on the bull side the last few years
are now bears and most of them are
short, but they are not playing lines
of any magnitude; most of them are
combining themselves to 100000 to
800, 900 bushels and are satisfied with
turns of X to 1c. There has been no
money made on the heavy decline in
wheat because a majority of the OPP
orators have not had courage to stand
when the market turned against them

houses in their circulars last night
