THE IsIITATORs.

"Wot are the writer's writin' for?"
asked Reader on Parade; .
ITO sell their junk, to sell their junk"
the gentle book clerk said;
But why should they all write alike?"
asked Reader on Parade;
Unconscious imitation, sir" h gentle
book clerk said,
For they're writin' most fantastic, in
a light and airy STYLE;
They've got a certain model, and they
follow 1t the while;
Though gin'rally they miss it, by a
matter of a mile
They're writin' like o. Henry in the
mornin'."
Where have a heard that yarn be-
fore?" said Reader on Parade;
I'm some back magazine, most like"
the gentle book clerk said;
Somehow this all comes back to me"
said Reader on Parade;
I'm some back magazine, most like"
the gentle book clerk replied;
For the fountain pen are sloshin' and
the typewriters they whack,
You can hear the imitators, clear from
Hobok and back,
They are turnin' out their stories that
we have to prefix hack
For they can't touch old o. Henry in
the mornin'."

IN THE HOTEL LOBBIES

The little son of j. j. Jordan was at
tending the public schools a day or two
ago when a little story in American
history came up, and 1t had something
to do with the American Indian. 1t
was a reading lesson and in the piece
was this sentence:
You are a liar, said the Indian
chief"
The little Jordan boy was the first
victim before the teacher and he start
ed to read, but when he came to the
above sentence he began to kind Of
hesitate, at which the teacher stopped
him, at the same time telling him that
he wasn't reading just exactly right,
when she was astonished to hear the
boy say:
You're a liar" and then he stop
ped for a minute and read on, said
the indian chief" For a moment the
school was startled.
Dale and Charles Cunningham, two
likely looking young men from Cutler,
Ind, were in the city a day or two
ago at the Prescott hotel on their way
to their half section Of land which is
located near the town Of Gardner in
this county.
Yes, we have decided to locate here.
We bought the farm some time ago."
said n Of the young mon, and l
want TO tell o that we are more
thar pleased to have the privilege Of
locating in the Red river valley, for
the pr0ductiveness of this valley is
being sounded all over the country
from where we came. There have been
instances where INSCRIPTIONS land
men have in a measure queered this
section by going beyond the truth, but
the majority Of the people from where
we came are pretty well acquainted
now with the land in this section. so
that they cannOt be in any way fooled.
] don't think there is any necessity
for e~Xaggeration in regard to the land
about here, for l consider it the best
in the country. If the land men would
only tell just the truth and not ask
more h the land is really worth it
would bring many more people to this
section"
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles f.. Bachelor
of the town of Fingal. were in the city
a day or two ago. guests at the Wal
dorf. Mrs. B~atcheller was shopping
and visiting several of her friends in
the city, while her husband was at
tending the Northwestern Business
Builders club meeting at the CONNER
cial club, which has for it's object The
promotion of the dairy business in
eHtS Stdte DIS well DIS ELSEWHERE III the
northwest. He and Sam r. Crabbe,
his rival in the Jersey COW business,
met and discussed the relative merits
of their herds and decided that there
vas very little difference in the two
herds so far as value is concerned.
They are both largely interested in
the dairy business, both are raisers
Of pure bred Jerseys and they are
both exhibitors at the different big
fairs of the state and will each have
herds at the state fair at Grand Forks
and will likely bring their stock to the
interstate fair to be held in his city.

Ode to "No Mans Land"

In the mist Of years agons,
When No-Man's.Land" was known afar,
A an orphan child that none would own
homeless walf Of the Texan star.
Her rivulets danced m the burning sun,
Her mirages shown like Alladin dreams
That lured the lost till the day was done,
With their forests, and cities, and sparkling
streams.
Her billowy hills like rolling sea
Stretched far away toward the gate Of night,
Her drifting sand dunes by the river "B,"
Seemed like sun tanned rift Of HIGHT
Hor meadows Of grass along the creeks
Shown like ribbons Of emera d green:
The sunburn glow Of her hillside cheek.
Made her hosts most worshipful queen
ovir her valleys, and plains, and hills,
Out to the edge Of the world afar,
There moved au ocean Of life with thrills.
million Of bison with blllowy jar.
The eagle he circled the azure blue
Ard left his mate with ler hungry brood;
He sailed away with vision true
And caught In his tallons their coveted food.
He bore his eaglets far up in the sky.
Up on his pinions OF wide expanse,
Letting then drop with hutter and cry,
Catching them up again nt a glance
Up from her canyons the night wind siged,
Mingled with voices so wierd and Wild
Firenies danced AMI a panther cried
Like tho death-throe OF dying child.
The day dawn denlz ns Of the sedge
Carroled a song 20 the breaking day.
The chipmunks scurred along the ledge
To a shadowy shelf In the cliff Of cIay
Thus Ia chorus all nature reloiced
That the Inflated star stood Stil 10 the sky
So long IN the zenith. but now It Is voiced
In the songs of the toilor aud tiller for aye
HENRY G. FELLOW.
