How Careless

He asked his love to marry him,

With difficulty and danger he car

to his mistress, the great actress.
Then he came to America with her,

not only regained his fond mistress,
but again did noble service for

The bond issue of the Legion
post at Norway to the amount of
$4,000 is offered for sale this week.
The bonds are to complete the
Legion Memorial building at the
corner of Main and Paris Streets,
and they are in denominations of
500 bearing 5h per cent interest,
payable semi annually and are
secured, by first mortgage, the Nor
way National Bank acting as
trustee for the bondholders. The
DICTIONARIES are personally soliciting
subscriptions and an opportunity will
be given every one to subscribe.
The construction of the building has
teen delayed the past week on ac-
count of the non delivery of the
steel roof trusses. If the sale of
bonds is successful, as hoped, the
building will be rushed to compile
ton.

The Dakota" wolf recently shot
by Robert Greer of Minot Center,
is said to have been a pet st the
home of Charles Everett of Hebron,
until q few weeks ago, when the
animal got away and had since been
running wild so it Is said. 1t has
been learned that the animal. grey
timber wolf, of a specie common in
Canadian woods, was brought there
some time ago as a pet by Charles
Everett of Hebron. The condition of
the pelt indicated that the wolf had
until recently been living the life of
a domestic animal. Further in
quiry revealed that 1t was not as
wild as some had feared, and was
regarded by its owner as perfectly
harmless.
