MR.. FLINT'S DESK
AT CAPITOL HAS
UNIQUE HISTORY

Bismarck, n. D., Nov. 29.--Robert
Flint. recently appointed to the office
of state dairy commissioner has in
herited the most travelled desk, and
in some ways. the most unusual desk
In the ownership of the stae. In the
first place it is declared to be the only
desk in the state house.
The others are oak, and while some OF
them date back tt territorial days,
they do not enjoy the ~aristocratic as
sociations Of the rather small piece Of
furniture in which the new state dairy
commissioner is finding q. place for
his papers.
The desk was purchased in 1905
and was first. used in the North Da-
lkota headquarters of the Alaskan Elk
position At Portland. Then it travelled
back to North Dakota and was in the
office of the attorney general. Later
it greeted Mr.. Flint when he was a
member of the state force some years
ago. Some time before that it had
of the state house when a retiring
office holder sought to remove it from
the building as private property.
Mr.. Flint brings to his association
with the mahogany desk something
of state historic interest also, as he
erected the first creamery in North
Dakota. The year was 1899 and the
place Oliver county. MI. Flint is in.
clined to believe that his judgment
as to the place to start creameries il
good. for this plant. twenty miles from
"a railroad is still running while othel
and better known concerns have
flourished for a day and then gone ou'
of business.

Little Boy AT Bismarck
Mistakes Judge Robinson
For Dear Old Santa Claus

Bismarck. n. d., Nov. 28.-
Ono small Bismarck lad had the
disappointment which to quote,
much known remark "happcns
but once in a lifetime" With his
mother, who purchased some art
icies at a display counter near the.
door, he entered q down town RES
taurant Monday night Mt the time
Of the evening meal. Judge j. f.
Robinson OF the North Dakota SUI
prcmc Court was an occupant at
one of tho tables. The lad stood
beside his mother for a minute or
two, cycling the judge. Then with
the light of a discovcrer In his
eyes, he marched down the aisle
until he reached the judges side.
Looking up with perfect conf
dcno, at the huge nlan OF hair
and whitening beard. he said:
"Hulb! Arc you Santa Clause"
Even the Judges late decision
in a recall election casc did not,
cause more disappointment than
that which crept into the face Of
the six-year-old. as the jurist
sadly shook his head. probably
wishing that he was the tabled
giver of gifts at Christmas tide,
. that the light in the lady's eyes
might NOT be dimmed.
