IN THE HOTEL LOBBIES

The man who gave the Fargo coun-
ell of the U. C. T. plenty of trouble
at the Red Wing convention of the
grand council early in June was a
guest at the Waldorf yesterday and
will be here over Sunday. The man
is Ben Rudd and he is the second
velers' team that was the only one
which defeated Captain McGrann's
team of this city. 1T was to his un-
tiring efforts that Fargo was loser
on that" momsntous OCCASION as Sec
retary Dunn would say. Il did my
full duty that day" said Mr.. Rudd
to The Forum. know it was a sin
for me to have stopped the lombard
ment that the Fargo fellows were putt
ting up, and spurred on by thoughts
of the big supper that was supposed
to get (and didn't get) IL the Fargo
boys lost and we drew the cup / did
my level best. I had on my playing
shoes that day (you see ] sell shoes
on the road) and 1t appeared as
though nothing could get past me. 1t
was a great day for the travellers of
Dakota and Minnesota down at Red
Wing and we all had a good time
I find trade all right said Mr.. Rudd.
Business appears to be picking up
all along the line and | can find no
cause to complain over 1T. You see
we are selling our line for the fall and
there are better sales being made now
than this time last year, all OF which
convinces me that everything is Q. K \"
Mr.. Rudd expects to attend the
meeting of Fargo council No. 65 to-
night and say something about the
Red Wing game.
Bobby Collins, the land man, is

two of them. One is a boy who is
just getting to talk all right and he
and another small boy were having a
discussion over religious matters.
Robert. jr., had something said to him
by the larger of two boys and after
studying a minute he said in answer
to the other boys assertion that God
could do anything:
an bet you / know something God
mo, deed you DON'T the other boy
replied '"cause my Sunday school
teacher says that God can do every
thing"
wen. / bet there is" continued
Master Collins.
"Well, what is it?" was the retort.
'T just bet he can't take bath in
our batl1tub when there hain't no
water in It,"

Is a guest at the Waldorf for over
| Sunday. He sells coal on the road
and is making one of his periodical
| trips to this city. II believe that

Fargo these days than ever before,

Dakota is good field in which to sell

come when the Ignite coal can be
made into briquettes at such q. price
that the coal can be used In the state
/ for domestic purposes and without
causing any dirt, as the native coal
does now. find business good in this
