greet Mr.. Skonnord's patients at the
old stand and as many new ones as

Miss Jessie Sargent and Mrs. C. H.

Mrs. J. E. Haskell, ,Iwho has been
guest at the home IF her daughter,
Mrs. PR. Trubshaw, for few days,
left this morning over the Northern
Pacific, for Loon Lake, Mimi, where
she will make an extended visit at the
summer home of her sister, Mrs. John
L. Houghton. ~
Gordon Barr, youngest son Of
Charley Barr, of this city, enlisted in
the navy and left last night for the
Twin Cities for assignment for duty.
This is Mr.. Bars fourth son to join
the service of Uncle Sam and we
doubt if there is anyone in Barnes
county doing any better than he is.
The government is handling all the
express business at one point in this
city now at the N. P. depot under the
name of the American Express Com
pany. This relieves Mr.. Bowen of
the 500 line of lot of work. It does
not interfere with Mr.. Bowen's other
work sagent for the 500 line. +;
w. F. DuVall brought the editor a
sack of nice new potatoes from his
garden-which he refuses to locate
for us-so that once more the high
cost of living has been solved for the
next meal. However, they are very
fine potatoes and we hope Mr.. Du-
Vail has a carload of them-they will
be worth something next winter.
We forgot yesterday to mention
that Tom Collins had returned from
Atlantic City at which place he had
been as a representative from the
local Elks lodge of this city to the
grand lodge. Mr.. Collins had fine
trip with the exception of coming
home and he lost several years growth
on account of being in train wreck.
The train he was on was derailed 20
miles out of St. Paul by the spreading
of rail and four cars went off the
track and for time Tom thought he.
was going into the ditch. Fortunately
the cars did not tip over and outside
of number of passengers being
shaken up badly no bad results fol-
lowed. Mr.. Collins visited New York,
Philadelphia, Niagara Falls and other
points while away and had a delight
full time. He thinks considerable of
going OF Atlantic City every summer
the sights down on the beach he
says, being especially pleasing. ? 44

The playful habits Of sheep and
goats are well known. The calf is an
ungainly creature, but It will gambol
over the pasture in a highly, diverting
manner. Birds hold dances regularly,
at which the tango is not excluded,
though most of the numbers are solo
performances and would be billed as
Eccentric dancing"
