IN THE HOTEL LOBBES

Jim Cubbison, postmaster of Min
neWaukan, this state, is attending the
postmaster's convention | n Fargo and
lis a guest at the Hotel Gardner. Away
back, so long ago that none but the
very Oldest can remember, Mr.. Cubbi-
son used to live in New Castle, Pa,
and the hills of the old Shenango
river with Uncle Bob" Wallace Of
Jimtown, but he has been living in
North Dakota 30 long that he is ac-
climated and knowns all about the
state and the people thereof. He made
a pleasant visit to The Forum, and
said that he was glad to get into Fargo.
why, I've been heer so long, said he,
that a first class old settlers day
without me being a member OF the
company wouldn't be worth going
miles to see. I like North Dakota. You
bet. I like it, and l also like the hills
of the western part of Pennsylvania,
where | was raised until / came out
here, and grew up with the popula-
ton. Everything out my way is -four
fishing and business is good and the
crop conditions are all that any reas-
sonable man could desire. Yes, / am
attending the meeting of the post
masters, as well as visiting with my
friends, for I don't get to Fargo often
and when I do / like to look around
and believe me, I always find some
thing new to look at and admire"
b. o. ChappIe, superintendent of the
blind asylum and school at Bathgate,
was a business visitor to the city yes
terday and was a guest at the Wal
dorf. Mr.. ChappIe was in the city W.
or three days ago and he had with him
fourteen children who nave been stu
dents at the school for the blind and
who we're on their way home for va
cation, and yesterday he was here on
his way home. THE young folks who
are inmates of the school," said he,
ARE all happy and contented n you
would be astonished al the progress
that the most of them have made in
their studies. The institution is do
ing a great work for these unfortun-
ates. Each year we send as many Of
them home as may be desirable and
they mostly return again to us in the
fall. The school has q large number
Of students at present n from what
l can learn it promises to ave more
for the next term"
w. p. Mccormick, Mac" they call
MIN, is in the it,, fer the purpose Of
having a good square meal on Sunday.
He halls from Minneapolis, where he
has several grandchildren, but he likes
OF come out this way where he knows

dorf yesterday afternoon and remark
ed, This is the first decent day we've
had this s~pring-almost. Such kind OF
weather. he continued, "as we have
had is calculated to make a mild mans
disposition become tougher than my
Adamantine plaster. Yes, but | must
say that notwithstanding the weather
/ find that business is good and that it
is picking up all the time. ! have been
over North Dakota and Minnesota a
great deal recently and l find that the
crops are all right and everybody is
having great expectations OF great
harvests this fall"
G. =. Wasem of st. Cloud, Mimi, is
a guest at the Waldorf and is en-
joying himself as ne always does in
Fargo. He is a brother of Neil Wasem
Of this city and whenever the two
meet they have a visitation. Mr.,
Wasem is a travelling salesman and is
keeping an eye on the date of the
druggists convention which will be
held in Fargo during the coming
month. Eyes, I will certainly be here
with and without bells. You see,"
said he,ttI know so many of the drug
gists of this state that I consider IT
a sort of privilege ! have to assist
TN entertaining them and / want to be
on hand early. Give us good weather
and / will guarantee to do my share
in showing all of them a good time.
At the last convention that was held
here I had quite a choir, but there
were some voices in 1T that didn't
Just exactly jibe with the others and
at the request of a dozen or more
citizens who felt themselves outraged
at what they called noise / dismissed
the entire choir for that year, but /
have a new one selected for the con-
vention on this occasion, and If Billy
Boyd will consent I'll serenade every
guest in his house for two nights all
right"
"aThis has been the best season ]
ever seer in a hotel way" said A. l..
Leimbacher of the Hotel Gardner.
e"The conventions have been coming
exactly right. / like a nice comfor-
table convention, one that just fills
up your house nicely and one where
there isn't a great big hurrah and all
that, but to tell the truth I guess !
like most any old kind. / like to have
the crowds about me, and ! like to
see the conventions coming in the
middle of the week, for then the
Ia.ouses are not so well filed as dur
ing the latter part. The conventions
that have been held in Fargo so far
this season have been just the thing
to make everybody feel comfortable.
They have all been composed of nice
