C. When Blue
DTOYV Jeans Wanted
A Drink

y Els. Jack and Evelyn liked horses; old Dobbin was one Of their favo1te
pets They never went out to the barn without taking him a lump Of
sugar or an apple.
"Dobbfns a smart horse" daddy said, "but You mustn't think he's
the only clever horse.
"A friend Of mine. who was brought up OF a farm In Kansas, told me
about a horse that they had when he was a boy
TITS name was Blue Jeans. Perhaps you wonder why it was given this
name. It was because the horses coat was a very odd shade Of blush gray.
Blue Jeans had not only a blue coat but blue blood Some II her family had
been fine racehorses. She was what is called a Kentucky thoroughbred. y
blue Jeans early showed her cleverness.
For instance, there was a trough in the barnyard out OF which the horses
drank.
When they were thirsty they would tt up to the trough and drink If
there raj water there. If the trough was empty they would stand waiting for
some one to come and pump water into it. h #s6&
blue Jeans never wasted time waiting for any ne. Should she want a
drink and find 10 water in the trough she would go back to her hay n oats
or grass until some n came out Of the house.
"Then Blue Jeans would come racing to the trough, whinnyng is she ran
in her horse language:
"oh, please give m e a drink And you may be sure she always gotit
when the water had been pumped into the trough Blue Jeans would toss
her beautiful head and. with a little whnny that seemed to say, oh, thank
you very much, plunge her nose into the water and drink her ILL.,
I'm the summer the flies bothered the horses a good deal The other horses
would stamp their feet clumsny when a fly lighted on their legs Not so did
Blue Jeans She would hold out the leg sc she could get a look at the hy.
Then with the other foot she would make a dab at the place the fly seemed to
be. Sometimes she got the fly and sometimes she didn't but Blue Jeans al.
ways looked to see where it sat before she tried to kill it.
"Bue Jeans had many other clever ways that seemed 70 show that she
was a thinker. Some horses re like this They are able to pick up a good
many clever tricks for themselves, but If any one takes the trouble to teach
them. he an learn many wonderful things" 4.@s Yea

THE VACATIONS.

1t is interesting to talk with the re-
turning vacationers. Some of them
are bubbling over with enthusiasm
about their outing. They can tell you
hundreds of interesting features of
their vacations-and of pleasant Incl
dents.
There are others who found things
quite satisfactory and are back with
placid contentment that makes one
envious of their good fortune.
Some of the old stagers went to the
same old places, saw the same old
scenes and took everything as a mat
ter of fact. There was nothing new to
interest them and they have not much
to boast of-and little or nothing to
criticize.
There are still others, however, who
have lengthy tales of woe. They
found everything disappointing. The
places were unsatisfa ctory-the board
was the worst they ever tried to eat.
The mosquitoes were as large as spar
rows and as thick as the hair on a
dogs back. These people get little or
nothing out of their vacation. They
could have been just as miserable at
home. About the only relief was to
the people they left behind.

Can't Kill Negro.

Aberdeen, S. D., Sept. 10.-Ed.
Thomson, a negro, who recently had
an encounter with a Northwestern
train and sustained bruises and cuts
on his head and face that required
over 100 stitches to close, escaped from
st. Luke's hospital during the night by
making a rope out of his b~edclothes,
and wandered about for several hours
before attendants at the hospital sue
ceeded in locating him. HIe was finally
fair to recover from h:k hurts, so the
physicians say. Either the accident or
the exposure to which he was subject
ed during his nights ramble would
have killed a white man. Thomson
was crossing the Northwestern track
at it's junction with the Milwaukee
here, when he was struck by an engine
and badly injured.

BULL o o L

The bull moosers pulled off a great
stunt at the state meeting in Fargo.
They nominated one man of a third
ticket and started out on a world
beating campaign.
They did not investigate the eligi-
bility OF their nominee and selected a
man who couldn't qualify. They also
selected a man who had decided to
withdraw-even before his ineIigibil-
ity became a matter of public knowl-
edge.
Men with even a limited experience
in the political game would not have
done that. They would not have acted
so much on impulse that would soon
become the laughing stock of the peo-
pie.
The bull moosers seem to be COM
posed of some never wassers" and
would hes" Among the ~cleverest
things they have done during the
campaign has been to h~ornswoggle
the republican state central committee
into disowning the republican nomi-
nee for president. Other than that
they appear to have made a series of
rather amusing bluders.
Prior to the coming of Roosevelt
the men behind the bull moose move
ment are reported, 1T different times,
to have toyed with the ambitions of
H. H. Aaker, David Bartlett, Mayor
Sweet and President Creegan.
Aaker had been on too many sides
of the political game to please some of
the b. ms. Bartlett was jolted so he
lost interest in the proceedings. Sweet
was held on the hook awhile-but
when Roosevelt saw Creegan-the
stuff was off for the mayor and Cree
gan had the pole. Less than twenty
four hours after he had accepted the
nomination it Is reported that Cree
gan very much regretted his act-and
his withdrawal was planned.
His unexpected attitude put the
moosers in quite a hole. They hat
fired their big gun with Creegan and
the squib firecracker they have to of
fer for the future will scarcely make
= good fizz. The next victim they Sc
@ect will have a hard time to ginger
ep the voters. He will be fiat anG

TO CURE COLDS
DON'T NEGLECT A COLD, ELY's
CREAM BALM WILL STOP IT
IN THE sNEEZING STAGE.

A cold generally attacks the weak
est part, affecting the eyes and ears
in some and producing nasal catarrh
and throat troubles in others. A cold
is due to an inflammation Of the mem
brane lining the air passages, and may
be promptly cured with a little Ely's
Cream Balm, which Immediately re-
Heves the Inflammation and all the
distressing symptoms, such as sneez-
ing, coughing, running at the nose and
eyes, hoarseness, sore throat, fever
and headache. One reason why this
pure, antigeptic Balm acts so quickly is
because it is applied directly to the
tender, sore surfaces.
Even in severe, chronic cases OF
catarrh, Ely's Cream Balm never fails
to quickly and effectually check the
poisonous discharge which clogs the
head and throat. causing the disgust
ing hawking, splitting and blowing Of
the nose. This remedy not only drives
out the disease, but heals and
strengthens the weakened membranes,
thus ending catarrh.
Catarrh is a filthy, disgusting dis
ease. Don't put up with 1t another
day. Get a so cent bottle of EIy's
Cream Balm from your druggist and
see how quickly you will be relieved.
1T is perfectly harmless. Agents, Fout

SESSION SPENT
IN LONG DEBATE
CITY COUNCIL HAD RATHER IN
FORMAL MEETING LAST NIGHT
DISCUSSED MANY APPRoPRi-
ATOMS FOR THE COMING YEAR
MEET THURSDAY.

The extra session of the city coun-
Gil last night was more in the nature
of an informal discussion in which
the needs OF the city for the coming
year were gone over at great length.
Several changes in the figures in the
proposed budget that is now up for
adoption were recommended by the
and the matter will be brought
up for its final reading next Thursday
evening, to which time an adjourn
ment was taken to a late hour last
night.
In addition to the items already Gov
cred in the budget, Alderman Nc
Donald asked for a small ~appropria-
ton of $500 for the city militia. He
proposed that this amount could be
taken out of the police appropria-
ton and that 1t would be well spent
as Grand Forks was standing ready
to take the local company away from
Fargo should this city contribute no
financial assistance. The matter was
referred to the city attorney to re-
port at the Thursday night meeting.
A number of other items were gone
into at great length. A division of
opinion concerning the question of a
mounted motorcycle police and an
automobile ambulance was apparent.
police committee was authorized
to investigate the relative cost of
these two improvements and report
at the next meeting. The building
committee was requested to visit rire
station No. / and investigate the con-
dition of the floors OF that building.
The city engineer proposed the re-
placing of all the old city monuments
and having them all properly marked.
The accurate surveys Of the city
streets are largely depending on these
monuments and the city engineer inn
pressed their Importance upon the al
dermen. He said about 200 were
necessary, which would entail a cost
OF about $4,000 or $40 each.
A resolution, presented by Alderman
Cupler, was adopted after some de-
bate, giving the city the right to
defray the cost of street intersec.
tons not to exceed one-fifth the total
cost of improvements. This is accord
ing to the state statute.
Two other resolutions adopted last
night provided for the payment of
the street improvements at the inL
tersections in paving districts Nos. q
and 8. The extension Of the street
improvements on Seventh avenue
north TO Oak Grove park was left 10

III / 0 GRAIN.

The people who live in the cities and
towns don't appreciate the remarkable
fertility of North Dakota soil. 1t is
worth the expense of an auto ride to
get out into the country--to examine
some of the unthreshed fe1ds-and
then see a huge separator turning out
its great stream Of golden grain. Any
denizen Of the city who can get out
into the country now will return fred
with an ambition to own a farm. He
will envy the plutocratic farmers who
are ~reveling in unlimited prosperity.
The %opulence of the successful tiller
of the soil will appeal to them so
strongly-they will wonder why they
have SO long fingered around the cleo
trio lights.

WILSON nj LABOR.

The attitude of Woodrow Wilson
and the labor unions is attracting a
great deal of attention. Many of the
labor leaders are closely scrutinizing
his writings and his public career. A
union labor man recently wrote an ar
ticle concerning Wilson, calling him
a foe of the trades unions. He said:
1t may be set down as an absolute
fact that the most dangerous enemies
of trad unionism are what we call
the academic enemies. They are
plausible and i%nsidious, although none
the less vindictive. They preach
PHILOSOPHERS and theories aimed at
the destruction of trade unionism,
based on the artful plea of defending
personal liberty and Of full recognition
of individual effort.
Governor Wilson. democratic candi-

PREFERS TO Be
A HORSE Thief
RATHER THAN DO ELEVEN
YEARS PRISONER WANTS TO.
PLEAD TO STEALING HORSES
WAS ARRESTED IN FARGO LAST
NIGHT.

Valley City Times Record: Rather
than face a court on the charge Of
bootlegging, George Woods wants TO
plead guilty to the charge of horse
stealing accept a sentence in the
penitentiary.
Woods was arrested in Fargo last
night on a charge of selling liquor to
a threshing machine crew near Fingal,
and was returned to Valley City by
Chief of Police Swanson. When Woods
left Fingal he took a livery rig, which
he left at Buffalo and went on the
train to Fargo. The team was found
three days later in a Buffalo livery
stable.
Fellow prisoners have been telling
Woods, who is a stranger, what a ter.
rible offense it is to "peddle booze
in North Dakota, and when he was
told the minimum sentence for viola
ting the prohibition laws is eleven
years, Woods Immediately announced
his desire to plead guilty to horse
stealing. He is of the opinion that he
would much rather go to the peniten-
tiary two or three years on a charge
of stealing a team, than spend eleven
years behind the bars for illicitly dis
posing of liquor.
No charge for taking the team has
been made against him, and he will
be held on the strength of the other
offense until the district attorney re-
turns to consider the matter.

LET'S KEEP OUR MONEY AT
HOME.

A look into our pages this week
will convince you that our merchants
are doing "some" advertising. They
have the goods. The prices are right.
No need for you to go to Spartanburg
or any other "burg" for what you
want when you can get the same
thing here and for less money. When
you trade at home you help yourself
as we'll as your merchant. When you
make your dollars here and go else
where to spend them you are simply
impoverishing the soil that produces
your harvest. Every dollar that goes
out of Union ceases to circulate here.
It's gone to pay debts elsewhere and
left debts here unpaid. Money in
circulation in community helps all
round.
Read the advertisements in this
weeks Times and see if you cannot
find just what you want and at a
remarkably low price We feel sure
you can.

Lockhart, Junction, October This
is pretty October weather, such as
every one likes to see, especially the
farmers, as they need it to gather
their crops. This is good time to
sow oats, and some are wanting to
get at it.
Cotton is opening fast and the
farmers are picking it out and selling
it as fast as they get it out. The gins
are beginning to run on full time
The crop is certainly a short one.
One of the shortest crops we have had
in several years.
The price will go down to 8 cents
and in the spring somebody will get
IL or more. I hope 1 may be fooled
about it, for it ought not to go be-
low II cents, if it does it will be spec
ulation.
1t seems everybody is getting quiet
about the election of the governors
and it should be the case and let no
ill feeling be against any one.
