we aihoeed. This is how it happened.
me man went out hunting with a
sun--a rifle gun. that shoots bullets
out OF Il. At the foot Of the mountain.
ne saw a mountain goat which he
wanted to shoot, but the mountain
goat was superstitious ana wouldn't
tand still long enough to be shot. but
kept running around the mountain tha
Teller he kept running around the
after the goat and every
once In a while he would stop and take
aim n shoot off the rife at the goat,
. Y he couldn't hit the goat, for the
goat would always be just around the
corner of the mountain, and this was
a straight-barreIed gun which wouldn't
hoo around the corner very accurate.
SO the Teller thought he would try to
catch the goat and knock the goats
brains out with the stock OF the gun.
And he and the goat chased around
and around the mountain fifteen or
twenty times, when a happy idea
struck the Teller and he says to him
self: BY ginger, I'll make that dog
gone gun shoot around the mountain
and I'll hit that goat yet So pass
ing a small tree which stood on the side
OF the mountain the Teller grasped the
firm and hit it again the tree and
bent the bari until it was crooked and
oul shoot around a corner.
The goat was a good ways ahead |
the mountain, n the Teller |
couldn't see him at all, but he took
aim and blazed away at the goat and
the bullet ven whizzin, around the
mountain after the goal. OF course.
the bullet was goin' considerable fast
er han the goat or the Teller either.
and every time the bullet came around
and passed the Teller he had to dodge
so as not to get shot. The goat got
wise n lodged, too.
The bullet would go around the
mountain about three times while the
goat and the Teller was goin' around
Finally, about noon the goat
got ratified and lodged the wrong way
and the bullet ketched him in the back
Of the head and the Teller picked up
the goat and went back t. the plateau
the foot Of the mountain. When he

found that n leg was, shorter than
the other and he had to walk with a
limp all the rest of his life.
You see, he had run around the
mountain so much that the inside leg,
or in other words. the one closer to the
mountain, had got worn off about
three inches.

SATURDAY, JAN. 20, 1912.
a GREAT WEEP.

Every visitor to Fargo this week
will concede that there has been some.
thing going on in this city. The or
igirai attraction was the Tri-state
Grain Growers convention which was
divided into sections including the corn
contest, stock breeders programme,
a horticultural day and topics Of in
terest to the ladies, The poultry show
also had its attractions and the home
product exhibition was a revelation.
In addition to the above the pro-
gresBives had a state conference and
the democrats enjoyed a love feast
with orators Of g national reputation
present to awaken interest in that
party They seem to have accomplish.
ed the result desired, and the Fargo
conference was an event OF national
Importance eve though the peerless
orator from Nebraska failed to arrive
to entrance his hearers by his well
rounded phrases.
The Forum has been very much
pleased to hear the words Of approval
from the farmers as to the value of
the institute work and exhibitions
here during the week. Never has
there been gathered in the northwest
q body of men more earnest to pro-
mote better agriculture that those who
were in Fargo this ewek. There has
been almost a total absence OF intox-
ication-the men here being present to
better their own conditions and i'm
prove the country instead of simply
coming for a good time.
Fargo does o want these conven-
tions simply to fill up the hotels and
to give trade to the stores, but every
effort has been made to give the men
attending value received for the money
spent in coming here. They have
traded at the stores and ~patronized
Fargo institutions but all this was in
cidental and it is gratifying to know
that they have o home so well sat-
The agricultural gatherings of the
present week have been a success in
every particular if one may judge from
the articles in the eastern papers as
well as the expression of those in at
tendance. This makes a success ac-
complished all the more gratifying.

DETAILS Of The
LIDGERWOOD FIRE

~ . tEE
L~idgerwood, N. D, Jan. 2o.-The fire
which occurred here Thursday after
noon was the most serious c~onflagra-
ton in the history OF the city.
The fire originated among a stor-
age Of oils in the basement Of the
main store of the Movius Mercantile

flame throughout the building. The
First National bank, also owned hy
the Movius brothers, immediately
Joined the big store to the north. but
there was a solid wall between the
two buildings, and with a north wind
prevailing some idea of the intensity
of the fire q be gained in the fact
that the bank today is in ruins.
The fire on the north side was
checked by the bank building but the
flames succeeded in crossing the
street to the south, and the two-storv
brick building occupied by the Movils
furniture store was almost Immediate
ly enveloped in flames, and that struc-
ture, too, was completely DESTROYED.
trough local firemen fought hero
ically and the 500 road brought as
sistance from Hankinson, the fire
continued south through the entire
BLOCK, destroying the two-story frame
building occupied by the Dakota
Realty Co, which had Just been
equipped with handsome fllrnitiIra
n fixtures. The two-story frame
building occupied by the Wirtenbergar
general store was the next establish
ment devoured by the fire fiend.
The next two buildings on the end
corner OF the block were small frame
buildings occupied by Kennedy. the
barber. and Slaby's shoe store Here
the fire was checked but only bv
tearing down these small buildings
and pulling them out OF the way.

LIQUOR TRADE DWINDLING
SAYS WHOLESALE DEALER

LOS ANGELES. May 1.-The hui
man race is now being educated in
the cradle instead of at the grave and
the result is that at least one-half of
the liquor dealers in Los Angeles are
not making a dollar over running en-
penses,' yesterday declared Henry
Laub. one of the oldest wholesale
liquor dealers in the city and secre-
tary of the Los Angeles Liquor Indus
tries association. Mr. Laub's remarks
were occasioned by a dispatch from
Chicago which stated that fully 500
of the 1000 liquor dealers there were
preparing to give up their licenses.
People don't drink nowadays like
they used to. continued Mr. l.aub.
and the result is that The liquor traf-
fic is gradually decreasing. The oh
vious reason is that the modern gener-
alton has been taught from childhood
that drinking TO excess. is wrong.
The population of this city four or
five years ago was in the neighborhOod
of 100000 1t has more than doubled
itself today. Were conditions now as
they used to be there should have
been a marked increase in the liquor
traffic. But there hasn't. Business
today is what it was then. There has
not been a cent of increase. The only
logical conclusion for. this is that peO-
pie are awakening to the fact that too
much liquor is harmful
You can't take man fifty years
old, who for years has used intoXicat
ing liquors and make him mount the
water wagon But when children are
first able to comprehend things, teach
them that they should not drink or
drink only moderately and YOU have
solved the liquor question.
In this city today there are POO
saloons and about 80 wholesale
houses. Look up the accounts of these
and you will find that none
of them are making a cent more than
they did ten years ago. During that
period the population has increased in
a marvellous manner. Drunkenness is
slowly but surely dying out
