Cultivate Your Wife's Friendship.

"A mans best friend" says Bulwer
Lytton, lis wife Of good sense and
good heart, whom he loves and who
loves him In woman there are at
once a subtle delicacy OF tact and a
plain soundness of Judgment which
are rarely combinedlto' an equal de-
gree in man. 4 woman, If she be real
ly your friend, will have sensitive
regard for your character honor, and
repute. She viii seldom counsel you
to do shabby thing, for woman all
ways desires to be proud of you. AT
the same time her constitutional timid-
ity makes her more cautious than your
male friend She therefore seldom
counsels you to do an imprucent deed"
III. G. Wells is both a prolific and
an eloquent writer upon a multitude
of topics, yet as public speaker he

f. Big Ranch of 100 acres is offer

one and onc-haIi miles from the
Northern Pacific depot.
This Ranch has all the improve

stabling and fatt2ning 1000 head
of cattle at one time for a period
Of from four and one-half to five
months. 1t too would be a Great
Ranch on which to raise and
handle thoroughbred stock, and
a place Of this kind is very much
needed in and around Bismarck
at the present time.
The place is newly built up and
in a manner to last, SO very little
improvements will be needed for
years to come. There is cnuogh
sand and gravel Oh the place to

Over 400 acres of growing al

ranch every advantage for the
fattening of sows and pigs, as
they do well on alfalfa.
. It being located so near the city
it will be but short time when
one could cut up a great part of
the place into city lots which
would pay for the place at the
present price many times over.
For Is years I have labored to
make of this Ranch an ideal Pack

little outlay Of money one could
have a Plant Of this kind second
to none in all the northwest.
