LITTLE ALBERT'S VALENTINE

By s. e.
A little poor girl goes to school,
And she's IN my class there =
Her fathers dead and SO she can't
Have pretty clos to wear.
And sometimes when the other girls
Have parties, they are sure
To not remember to invite
The little girl that's poor.
Her mother has to work. and they
Live up above a store,
Because, you know. she hasn't got
A father any more,
And once when | teln her
What Santa brought to me
She cried and said she wished some time
She'd have Christmas tree.
Last week she caught the chicken pox
And has to stay in bed;
/ had it once all over, too
And l was nearly dead
And >Jinks the bitter stuff you take
Cause nothing elseu cure
It makes kind Of sorry for
The little girl that's poor.
had quarter in the bank,
But it's not there today,
Cause yesterday sent lot
Of valentines away
A nickel one to Grace, and one
To Blanche and Ruth and Dot
And one to some one that guess
The others all forgot.
I'd like to stand around somewhere
And see the postrnan when
He knocks above store today
And hands out something, then
I'd like to Kind Of listen there.
For I'd be pretty sure
To hear some happy guessin' by
A little girl that's poor.

THE COACHMAN TO THE LAUNDRY
MAID.

Early this morning at the tub
I saw you often stoop and scrub;
The rising suds were seen to flow
AS white as any driven snow;
I smack'd my whip and drove away,
Yet gave a blessing to the day;
The day which shone so very fine
And made my Sue my Valentine.

PLEASURE ON THE FARM

A city man recently visited his
country cousin" The man from the
city, wishing to explain the joys of
metropolitan life, said: 1--WE have GER
tainly been having some fun the last
few days. Thursday we autoed to the
country club and golfed until dark,
then trollied back to town and danced
until morning." The country cousin
was not to be stumped in the least, so
began telling of some of pleasures
of the simple life: "We have had
pretty good times here, too. One day
we buggied out to Uncle Ned's and
went out to the back lot, where we
baseballed all that afternoon. In the
evening we sneaked up into the attic
and pokered until morning." A sturdy
old farmer, who was listening, not to
be outdone, took up the conversation
at this point, and said: Y was having
some fun about this time myself.
muled to the corn field and gee-hawed
until shutdown. Then l suppered un-
til dark and piped until 9. Then I
bedsteaded until the clock fved, then
breakfasted until it was time to go
muling again.

ROW BOAT TIPPED OVER
AND COUPLE ARE DROWNED

Grand Forks, Aug. 23.-H. G. Han
sen and his wife, aged As, were drown
ed in Brush lake, 20 miles east of An
telope, at an early hour Saturday aft
ernOon, and so far their bodies have
not been recovered. Hansen owned
summer resort at Brush lake and his
wife had gone in row boat to the
center of the lake, where her husband
had broken down with a gasoline
launch. In stepping into the row boat
Hansen tipped it over and both were
drowned. They were nearly a mile
from the shore at a place where the
water is nearly 70 feet deep and iso-
lated as the lake is, it was not till the
children notified a passing rig that the
alarm could be given. The Hansens
formerly lived a Racine, Wis,
where they owned a hotel, coming
here over a year ago where they filed
on the land surrounding Brush lake
as their homestead. They leave sew
eral young children, one of whom had
leg cut off by train at Racine last
year. Several surrounding towns had
planned big picnic at Brush lake
Sunday, which was cancelled.

FIVE MEN IN GUNFIGHT AT
GLENDALE; SENT TO JAIL

Glendale, N. D., Aug. "a. - Five
men, Will Redspeth, George Stone,
Albert Barnum, John Billiland and
Charlie Reede, are lodged in the
county jail here as a consequence of
a shooting fracas at Cakes.
Reede attempted to hold the others
up, but they apparently were ready
for any such occurrences and opened
fire on him. He received two of the
shots, one going through his left
heel and the other badly shattering
the bones in his left limb just below
the knee, and it was at first thought
the limb would have to be amputat-
ed. One of the other men received a
slight wound.
1t is thought that the trouble orig
mated in Aberdeen over some betting
on a polo game, developing later into
fight at Cakes.
They were bound over until the fall
term Of court.

WHO FEEDS THE WORLD?

In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside appears the following:
Wheat is not undisputed king, nor
cotton either. The eggcrop last year
was worth about $7OO,OO0,O0O.
"The bulk of the poultry is produced
mainly by the work of women and chill
dren. The supply from the specialized
poultry farms is small compared to
that from the farms where women care
for the fowls and children gather the
eggs. .
"The hand that rocks the cradle is
the hand that does it's full share in
feeding the world"

six NEW THRESHlNG
RIGS ON ONE TRAIN

On a west bound through freight
on the Northern Pacific Wednesday
there were six new threshing rigs,
complete outfits, intended for North
Dakota points. The machines were of
various makes and for both steam
power and gasoline power.
Railroad traffic has already begun
to respond to the increased business
due to the large northwestern crop
now being harvested.
The same train carried several cars
of power and mining machinery and
the American Bridge company had a
two-piece shipment of bridge iron
which required three fiat cars to sup
port.

BOOZE VENDORS IN AUTO
CAUGHT IN FOSTER COUNTY

jamestown, Aug 24.-Sheriff Nor
gan, Of Foster county, was in the dis
trict court today with two young men
charged with bootlegging and they
were convicted of the crime. They
were from Foster county and were en-
gagged in peddling booze in an auto
mobile. Sixty-five quarts of Hunters
whiskey were taken with the pair
They were arraigned before Judge
Coffey and each sentenced to one year
in the penitentiary. The whiskey was
confiscated and the automobile, a
Ford car and a new model, is being
held by the sheriff to learn who is the
owner of the machine.
1t is suspected that the car has
been stolen from some point further
south. The men claim to be from
Kansas City and gave their names
as John Enright and Fred Williams.
1t was learned by the Foster county
officials that the auto tag, which was
a North Dakota tag, had been stolen,
it having been originally sold to the
owner of a Metz car at Havana, N.
D. The men claimed they paid $500
for the car, but tell conflicting stor-
les as to when it was purchased, one
story being at time when the model
had not been put on the market. An
effort is being made to locate the
owner of the car through the Ford
factory.

Interest in the war zone situation continues to occupy large share of interest and much speculation is manifested as to the English reply to the American proposals. The Brit ish answer is expected soon.

The election has been devoid of -particular incident up to the time of going to press and the voting is pro- gressing slowly. The workers for the various candidates are very much in evidence, however Anderson banners, conspicuous by the absence of those of other candidates, are one of the unusual sights of Front street A con- servative estimate of the total vote places it at about 800 Up to three D. m. comparatively few votes had been cast, The Anderson committed are seemingly the most active and are ap- parently the only ones who have pro- yided teams to convey tho lady voters to the polling places. The public in general seem to take but little intrest, at least on the surface, but it is doubt less a fact that the issue of the pre- sent election has been more discussed than any other for several years back. The reports of the street seem to indi- cate that Anderson is running strongly and it is held by the wise ones that he will be returned the winner.

Long before the hour Of arrival the street was thronged and the first team to come in sight caused an excited craning of necks.
