Fun II Aetina Provsrb..

A coterie of young men and women
found much amusement In acting pro-
verbs the other night. 1t was entirely
pantomime any proyerb that happened
to come in mind, the rest of the COM
pany being the admiring audience
while he or she performed. Sometimes
two or more actors were required to
portray the parts. AT the end of the
evening the hostess gave a little prize
to the person who had thought Of and
acted the most proverbs. This souve-
mir was something she had on hand.
BY the way, this same hostess is won
derful in her resources; she says it is
all because of her magic box. In it
she puts all sorts of things that the
rest would throw away as useless,
such as bits of colored cardboard on
which to mount place cards, little hg-
ures that may serve as name cards,
odds and ends of ribbons, all of her
dinner and dancing ~fayoros, etc, SO that
every member of her family, and even
her friends, ask her Ito look in the
box and see" whenever anything is
wanted in a great hurry. But this is a
depression. Here are a few Of the pro-
verbs acted: There is many a slip
.'twixt the cup and the lip. Every dog
has his day, Birds Of a feather flock
together, While the cats away the
mice will play, All is not gold that
glitters, Two's a company, three is
none. Al fool and his money are soon
parted.

stance the sudden setting of the
breaks caused the wheels to skid so
that when examined nearly every
wheel on the train was fiattened more
or less. The disabled train was taken
on to Staples where it was found nee
essary to take out nineteen pairs of
fiat wheels and replace them with
wheels which were true. The job was
a tedious one and a force of men was
kept at work at it until the work was
completed. Three cars of the crack
train had to be set out altogether and
she was sent west without them.

New Blind Mans Buff.

For this new game Of blind mans
buff form a large circle and number
each person in rotation. as many num-
bers as there are players. Count out
to ascertain who will be the first blind
man, then place him in the center of
the circle. He must then cali two
numbers quite widely separated, like
two and ten. The ones having those
numbers must take each others places.
If a person is caught in changing he
is lit" If the blind man fails to
catch any one he has the privilege of
calling 100, when every one must
change places. making it easy for
some one to get within his reach. This

This is the coolest day of the winter
in Fargo. as the mercury dropped to
SO degrees below, which is the lowest
that has been registered at the Moor
head government weather bureau this
year. There is no let up to this cold
snap yet in sight, as the weather mar
predicts fair and continued cold.
Fargo was not the coolest place by
and a today. Both at Grand
Forks and Pembina it was colder.
At Grand Forks the thermometer reg
istered A degrees below and at Penn
bina the same.
At Winnipeg it was 43 degrees below
zero and only 80 degrees below at
Minneapolis. The cold was keenly felt
today as it was accompanied by a,
slight wind from the north, which was
quite singing in its effects.
This is one OF the longest continued
cold snaps that has been experienced
in Fargo or North Dakota in a num-
Der of years. The extreme cold
weather set in the day before Christ
mas and has continued until now
without any interruption.
The trains are making good time,
considering the severity Of the weather
but cannot attempt to make schedules.

Chicago Gossip.

Chicago, ] 1l-Those who were
bearish on corr look for a larger move

railroads to move the average num-
Der of cars per train, as the efficiency
of the motive power is cut down rs
to so per cent by the zero weather.
Bulls called attention to the strength
in outside markets while higher prices
are being paid than in Chicago; also
to the fact the corn is being shipped
south rather than to this market for
this reason. There are complaints OF
a scarcity of cars and motive power on
tile Alton road in Illinois. There is
said to be 1000 cars of corn on the
Illinois Central that are headed south

which resulted in an advance of " to

further support and prices further de-
cIined u to 81 with the buying in
March. This late strength was due
to the frmer American cables and a
better demand from millers with the

viii Crow More Potatoes.

Things are going TO be done in the
potato line at Alexandra and other
points in Douglas county. AS the re-
suit of the successful potato crop the
past season there promises to be a
greater acreage planted the coming
season. The first farmers co-opera-
tive potato warehouse to be built in
the county was at GARFIELD and it has
proved q successful venture, the COM
pany paying q good price for potatoes
and now finding itself in a position
where 1t can declare a dividend. As a
result, several other warehouses will
be built the coming spring. Houses
will be built in Alexandra, Carlos,
Nelson and Forada. Farmers in and
around Forada organized the past
week a cooperative company which
