Bismarck's Third street improvement

turned from Chicago, where he SUI
perintended the loading of W large
concrete mixers, a number Of trucks
and a couple of large steam shovels.
This machinery was contracted for
months age. but Senator Haggart dis
covered that the only certainty of
guaranteeing delivery was to stay by
the manufacturers until his equipment
vas loaded on the cars.
In every part of the northwest, says
Senator Haggart, there is apparently
an unprecedented renewal of street
paving and highway improvement.
Manufacturers Of road-builders' sup
plies are swamped with orders. Strikes
and the railway tie-up have further
complicated matters, and the Fargo
contractor regards himself fortunate

shaking SO that the tie was not his
usual success; then he picked up his
coat and waistcoat, and left the room
while still in process of donning them
fastening the buttons as he ran down
the front stairs to the door. It was
not until he reached the middle of the
street that he realized that he had for
gotten his hat; and he paused for ar
irresolute moment then he decided
that he needed no hat for the sort oi
call he intended to make, and went
forward hurriedly. Mrs. johnson

ABOUT THE STARS
THE ZODIAC

1t may be well to mentoin that the
Zodiac is the path which the Earth
and other planets follow in their
course around the sun. They are all
I'm the same plane, the zodiac- being
thirty degrees in width. though some
are much farther than others. Within
this zone there are twelve consteila-
tion, one for each month. beginning
with Aries, The Ran which is one the
meridian at the point where it crosses
the celestial equator on, or about the
2lst of March. This is known as the
vernal Equinox, the point from which
celestial distance are reckoned. II Is
sometimes called the Greenwich of
the skies" 1t Is well to remember
these twelve consultations. as the APP
parent position of the sun occupies
one for each month of the year. Aries
is the Ram. according to Mythologs
that bore the golden fleece. The world
famous Argonautic expendition was
fitted out by Jason and his compan-
ions to recover the same. On this
ram Phryxus and his sister Helle were
borne thru the air to escape the wrath
of their cruel step-mother Ono. Un-
fortunately Hellc became dizzy and
fell into the water. which has ever
after borne the name of Hellespont.
