If any Of you fellows make the mis-
take Of failing to attend the meeting
on Saturday night Of the coming week
you'll wish you hadn't, because "Bish'
says that the punishments made and
provided for naturally fit the crime.
Now is the season Of the year
when the dues should be coming in,
and while Secretary Dunn is quite
wealthy, still he isn't just exactly the
First National bank and his surplus
wealth might be swallowed up in sad-
vancing dues for Tom, Dick n Har-
ry. Between the Fargo council of the
travellers and the Fargo council Of the
knights of Columbus, Tom manages
to keep himself quite busy during these
winter months.
Jack Robinson, 'soid Jack Robinson
his friends call him, and he has a le-
gion Of them, is at home over Sunday.
Did you know that Mr.. Robinson is one
of the oldest, if not the Oldest, travel
Ing man who runs out of Fargo. He
has been hitting the road" in this Sec
ton for the past thirty years and is
one OF the best beloved of the knights
Of the grip in Fargo, or out, either, for
that mater.

Clark-Frank Gravel travellers for the
Stone-Ordean travellers. but who don't

river, has been insisting that he be
called Mr." Hanft since the dog show.
His dogs had a whole flock Of firsts and
} other premiums. and he had the bunch
} framed and they occupy a prominent
place in his residence. Fred has a fine
lot of dogs and is mighty proud OF
them.
William A. Hagen, who wanders too
and fro for the LoriIlard Tobacco Co.
is up In the northern part of the state
and writes to his friends in this section
that business is first class and grow
ing all the time. He says that there
is flax up that way that hasn't been
threshed, but that it will be in the
i spring, and he doesn't believe that it Is
much hurt, but that he's no farmer and
doesn't know much about it.
, Jim" A. Dainard, one of the elegant
and accomplished travellers for the
: Park-Grant e Morris Co. Of this city,

for it to be much bigger the present
year.
