An Easy Medical Dsares.

Time was when medical degrees
were obtained at st. Andrews without
all the difficulties Of today, and the
story is told concerning a learned pro-
fessor Of old, who had advised a par
ticular student whom he had never
seen in the flesh and of whose work
he knew but little, to call upon him at
his house so that he might be examin-
ed for his degree. The morning was
q brilliant one, and the learned gentle
man found it impossible to resist the
attractions of the links. Before set
ting out, however, he had left a mes
sage with one Of the maidservants,
and a conversation like the following
ensued on the arrival Of the student at
the appointed time: "Are you the
gentleman who was to call this morn
ing about a degree?" asked the girl on
opening the door. II am" was the
reply. "Well," said the maid. Il was
to tell you that it was all right. You
have passed: d:'-Scotsman.

SEEING IS BELIEVING,

Ward county has taken the lead in
securing an experimental farm. The
Minot Commercial club, in co-opera-
tion with the Better Farming associa.
ton. has decided to raise $1,000 per
year for three years to carry on the
work. The practical side of the ven
ture is the proposed establishment
of tracts in eighteen different town
ships. so that each farmer may see
for himself the value of diversifica-
tion, crop rotation and the like, as
applied to immediate local conditions.
1t is to be hoped that other sections
of the state will follow suit in due
season. Seeing is believing, and there
are many farmers in the state who
would employ diversified methods to
their farm work if they would have
an opportunity to see for themselves
the material benefits to be derived
therefrom.

WANTED AN EXCHANGE.
A Curious Adventure In Which tho
Gar Nicholas Figured.

NZ3r NiGNOIaS VS0uToos
The Car Nicholas was very fond of
masquerade balls and one night ap-
peared at one in the character Of his
Satanic majesty, with grinning face.
horns and tail. and seemed to enjoy
the character very much.
About o'clock in the morning he
went out and, throwing over him some
furs, called a cab and ordered the
coachman to take him to the Quai An
glais. Being very tired, he fell asleep.
When he awoke he found the coach
man had taken the wrong direction,
for the Quai Anglais was in the most
fashionable part Of the city, while
around him were only miserable how
els.
Nicholas began to demonstrate, but
the driver, paying no heed to him.
drove through stone archway into
cemetery. Then, taking long knife
from his girdle, he opened the door Of
the cab and said:
"Give me your money and your furs
or will kill you"
"And do you give me your soul"
cried Nicholas as he threw of his furs
and disclosed his personification Of the
evil one.
Overcome with terror, the coachman
fell senseless on the ground, while the
emperor himself drove the cab back to
town and afterward used more care in
the selection of coachman.

MONDAY, JANUARY IS, 1912.
NOT so BLACK AS PAINTED.

Their. is a great deal OF talk about
this being a hard winter and about
business having been quiet the past
year and about the necessity of every
one economizing and holding on to
his money, etc.
But actual figures do not show that
1911 was bad year or that people
were especially hard up, in fact these
figures show that 1911 was good
year even as compared with the ban
ner year of 1909. AS compared with
1910 one real estate man reports that
his sales were 20 per cent higher in
1911, and other men in the same line
report that their sales if not larger
than in 1910. were at least as large.
AS compared with 1909, the banner
year, 1911 shows up remarkably we'll
as the following figures will show:
The 1911 postoffice receipts were rs
per cent larger than those of 1909.
The 1911 express receipts were IL
per cent larger than those of 1909.
The 1911 passenger receipts were Is
per cent larger than those of 1909.
The 1911 freight receipts were 20
per cent larger than those Of 1909.
We have no figures showing how
many dwellings were erected in 1909,
but in 1910 there were 81, and in 1911
there were so, the number being prac-
tically the same The 1911 passenger
receipts were per cent larger than
thos OF 1910.
We believe that if the business men
generally will compare the amount of
business done by them in 1911 with
that done by them two or three years
ago will find that their last years
business done by them in 1911 with
that done by them two or three years
ago will find that their last years
business will show up wonderfully
we'll.
Bismarck is already the best town
in the state and within very few
years it will still be not only the best
town but the biggest as we'll. Will it
not be better instead of saying how
hard up We are now to say how much
better off we will soon be and to pre-
pare for the better times soon coming?

Not Just What He Said.

A we'll known parson. preaching to
crowded congregation at a church
where in his younger days he had been
curate, alluded to the many changes
that had taken place. He contrasted
the attendance with that Of days gone
by and remarked. AT one time in this
church there was not a soul-er-per-
son in the gallery"
Next day, in a report of the service
which appeared in one Of the local
NEWSPAPERS, the minister was report
ed to have said, AT one time in this
church there was not sober person In
the gallery."-Exchange.
