W years age constructed a cement

not only farms $50 acres of potatoes
each year but buys from the farmers
in that community. During the past
season he handled $50 cars of spuds,
closing out the last a few days ago
at $1.35 per bushel. These We're fancy

idea of North Dakota farmers engag-

idea, as the demand is SO extensive
that the production will not have a
tendency to reduce the price, and there

kept to a reigning sovereign

except to a reigning sovereign as
those Mark Twain received during his
journeys. The people everywhere
were to see and to hear the man
who wrote with such "a heart and
knowledge of the lives of others. The
man who had so enlightened and
cheered up the world with his clear,
vigorous. spontaneous humor.
His popularity increased with life,
but care and sorrow came also. The
loneliness following the death of his
wife, the reflection cast by the pc
culiar circumstances surrounding the
death of his daughter. brought a grief
unconsolable. Business failure added
to this trouble and Mark Twain, an
old man. was driven II into the
world to make money to satisfy his
creditors.
Mark Twain had Il great heart, not
only the grownups found him a coun-
selor and friend. but even the little
children dogged his footsteps wher-
ever he went. He was a genuine good
Samaritan of literature and of life,
dispensing freely of his funny stories
and cheering up the downcast and
downheartened."
