Rainfall FAR
Above NORMAL
Missouri Slope Most Favored
Section Of State In Last
Weeks DoWDpour

Enough rain fell last week in tie
Bismarck district to bring the total
precipitation for the month above the
normal for the entire month, 3.65 in
ches of rain having fallen thus far,
and tie normal being but 1854 inches.
Any rain that falls between now and
the first Of July will be excess mois-
ture.
The rainfall of the entire state to
date is considerably above the nor.
NAL. During January, February and
March there was a deficiency of 1.14
inches, but during April and May
there was sufficient precipitation to
bring tie total 1856 inches above nor
NAL to the first of juno.
The rain last week fell principally
in the Missouri Slope country, 1888
inches being the total rainfall record
ed at the Bismarck station. Other
sections of the state were visited by
showers and steady downpour, but
the total amount of moisture which
fe41 was much less than that which
visited the Missouri Slope.

HANNA A man
Of PRINCIPLE
Well known TEN pefance
Worker Tells VIII He Is
Supporting fargoan

M. H. XIII, of Lisbon, the we'll
known temperance worker, in letter
to the Fargo Forum tells why he is
supporting the candidacy of L. b.
Hanna for republican nomination for
governor. Mr.. XIII writes:
"Primary election day is fast draw
ing near. Some one will be declared
q nominee for governor On the repub-
lican ticket, and there is one man
whom / would like to nave the nomt
nation, Hon. L. B. Hanna. MY long
acquaintance with him has proved to
me that he is a man who is strictly
honest always true to his friends, a
man of ability and if elected governor
of this state would give us a splendid
business administration. i have moth
ing to say about the character, tho
honesty an integrity of Mr.. Buchanan.
He possesses these high characteris
tics of gentleman, but has not had
the experience, either in political life
or buiness career that Mr.. Hanna has
had. So adding Mr.. Hanna's legisla-
tive experience onto his other per-
fections we will have a man that can
NOT be equaled in this state. see
that his public record as a legislator
is being published. I would like to
find a man who has served as many
sessions of a legislature a Mr.. Hanna
ha, that has not made some mis-
takes.
l notice this howl is coming from
a lot of men who trained in Mr.. Han.
mas political camp during these years
and sustained him, supported him from
year to year. 1t was all right with
them as long as they were on the
band wagon. They have fallen off and
now want to blame Mr.. Hanna for
standing true, firm for the principles
he believed in. There is one thing !
always admire in any man-that he
has a mind of his own and sticks to
what he believes to be right. Mr..
Hanna has made a splendid record as
representative to congress. No man
ever elected to congress has done
more for his constituency in four
years than Hon. L. B. Hanna. l can
not learn of single person who ever
wrote him a letter asking for informa-
tion, or for something that Mr. Hanna
could do, but what has got quick re-
sponse. I know scores of men who
had hard luck in the early days in
this country that Mr.. Ham came to
their help and brought them safely
through and many Of them have made
success because of this assistance
when needed. never heard of his
foreclosing a mortgage on any living
soul. Mr.. Hanna has great big heart,
going out to all. I am supporting him
because of these things and that he is
a staunch friend of our state prohibi
tion law and its enforcement Prom
inent temperance workers at Wash
ington who are there looking after
temperance legislation have written
me that Mr. Hanna has been the most
valuable man they had there, so I
hope all temperance and prohibition
workers will support him at the pri-
mary election"

presents were being passed around,
adorned with a tag plainly labeled in
big black letters, %"Theopolus j. Peters,
BOodleville, Canada"
1t was a fine joke. Everybody roared
over it, the cashier among the rest.
But it was noticed that there was a
thoughtful, faraway look on Peters
face the rest Of the day.
The morning after Christmas the hui
morous Mr.. Waggley was astonished,
not to say shocked, at finding his
trusted cashier missing, together with
a goodly share Of the portable funds Of
the bank, and later in the day he re-
ceived another mild jolt in the shape
of a special delivery letter from his
erstwhile employee, running as follows:

His wife called him from his reverie.
He went to her and did her bidding.
She looked up at him with the peculiar
the constant love of a good man. Then
she said in a low voice:

And she laughed quietly.

you are so tired" persisted his wife.
"Go to bed and have a good sleep. The
nurse will take are of me for one
night"
After a time Jack started for his
room. His wife had succeeded in
turning his thoughts in happy chan
nels.
As he was leaving the sick woman
smiled and said to him:
"And, Jack. don't forget to hang up
your stocking"
Playfully he promised and before re-
firing duly kept his promise.
How he did sleep! There were muf-
fed noises all around him. The doctor
had been summoned. and the nurse was
going to and fro az softly as she
could. Jacks mother had arrived. and
she. too, was hurrying here and there.
Though it was after midnight, many
lights were shining in the house. San
ia Claus or some n was very busy.
But Jack slept on, dreaming dreams
never to be recalled.
1t was nearly Z o'clock. when the
first rays of dawn peeped into his
room. that he awoke. The noise had
ceased and the lights were out. He
arose quietly and tiptoed out of his
room to the dining room.
He was not thinking of it, but he
noticed Immediately that the stocking
he had hung from the mantle was
gone. Then he heard his wife's voice
calling:
sack. are you looking for your stock
ing?" it said. Eyes? Well, l have it
here. Come in. Santa Claus has been
real good to you."
Going in, Jack saw his mother and
the nurse, and there beside his wife he
could see the end Of his stocking.
He pulled it out. 1t was empty.
ooh. Jack" exclaimed his wife with
feigned disappointment, 1T must have
fallen out of the stocking!"
Then he heard a something's noise,
a cry, a squeak. an indescribable some
thing-that came from beneath the
covering. He wanted to yell, to cry.
to do a highland fling, but he didn't.
He stood very still.
"Let's name it Santa Claus" he said
