Without the hone of sheep, that
eternal, ubiquitous playtoy of all the
East, the children of Asia would be
absolutely without an amusement de-

Osmanlis or Kurds, Armenians or

see the sheep bone represents every
thing from a doll to sword, from
pasha's horsetail ornamented stand

Endurance.

Endurance, not feetness wins the
race, Never give up. Keep peggng
away even though everything looks
hopeless. Many a man has failed to
achieve both fortune and fame be-
cause he lost courage just as he was
within reach of them. What you de-
sire may be only one step ahead.
Keep going.

ing the closing of the Scandinavian
American bank of Fargo by Messrs.
Hall and LANCER, that will tend to
have a wholesome effect on future
banking transactions in certain other
quarters of the state. Regardless of
whether or not the bank had exceeded
it's individual loans, or whether it had
the proper amount of reserve, or
whether post-dated checks are to be
considered the same as cash, the de-

Restaurant-Op Pipe Seized
by Officers.


Deputy Sheriff Vandenoever and
Capt. of Police John Reed made a
raid on a room in the Chicago Restau-

negress in an opium den operated by
Chinaman named Wong. The negress

shaken the dust of Minot from her
feet on numerous other occasions, but
always manages to find her way back.
Officers seized an opium pipe be-
longing to the Chink, and its bowl was
still sticky from the burning of the
drug. The pipe is an expensive con-
traption, carved after the Chinese
fashion.

THE SUCCESSFUL MINISTER


Minot is just fairly teeming with
ministers of the gospel this week, who
are here to attend the Methodist con-
ference, but you would hardly know
they are in the city, unless you at

and businesslike do they go about
their work. Minot welcomes the dis
tinguished visitors and may they come
here often.
The modern minister is first of all
a saver of souls which he undertakes
by example and creed. The success

tertainer and a deep student of cur

politicians as well, using their pulpits

THE WORLDS OLDEST MAN
There must be something to the
plain name of John that adds years
to mans life The oldest man in
the world is named John. He is eth
er John Shell, the aged Kentuckian,
who is beyond a doubt 131 years old,
or John Smith, the aged Grand Rap
ids, Mimi, Indian, who claims to be
1873 years old, but who cannot posit-
lively prove that he is more than 1877
years Of age.
Shell has lived in the same little
old log cabin in Leslie county, KY.
for the past ~ years. He cast his
frst vote for James X. Polk for presi-
dent. Tax records show that he paid
MAN. Five years ago he went court
ing and married. The couple have a
son four years old and the child seems
to be normal, the report that the babe
was born bald headed and with whis-
kers, being unfounded. Shell has
never used tobacco and has used whis-
ky but seldom, which enemies of to-
bacco will say goes to prove that the
use of tobacco does not go with long
evity.
On the other hand, there is John
Smith, the Minnesota Indian, who
uses tobacco almost necessarily. Both
men, however have lived active out
of-door lives, but never working siren
uously with brain or muscles.
Centenarians are not so vary rare,
$50 of them having been interviewed
and the interesting events of their
lives recorded in 1905.
Another Northwestern man who is
fairly old, is John Daubney mark
you, his name is also John-who lives
at Taylor's Falls, MINI. He credits
his long span of life to the fact that
he has always been Democrat
and chews tobacco.
