/ A So pari-mutuel bet has been known
to win as high as $500. A friendly bet
of 50 at even money will bring that
amount to the winner. Sometimes a
bet brings trouble with victory. This
horse tale is bounded on the east with
a 81 bet, and on the west with a near
Indian uprising.
The time goes back to a year in the
early nineties. The incident happened
at Billings one day while the Yellow
stone county fair was on. Maybe you
recall it if your recalling days &c
that far back. My recaller, nov a Butte
resident, admitted that ne was scarce
to death on that Indian summer d.
ternoon.
An Indian from a nearby reserva-
ton had a boss, Little James, that
he thought a lot of. So did a farmer
who lived near Billings. White Stock

room for the event on the program.
Match Race on Fair Gard
In those days there were many sucn
races as the fair officials were ANXIOUS
to swell their programs with specla1
races. Events of this kind were always
welcomed by the fair crowds.
The fair manager okayed the event.
The race distance was to be three
quarters Of a mile. The horse pass
ing the grandstand first would be
declared the winner. The n
backed their animals to the extent
of a 81 bet.
The stakeholder was Mr.. x, who
lived in Butte then, a. he does now.
Now the Billings track was a half
miller. In all races of three-quarter
distance, the starting point was the
quarter-mile post. So a three-quarter
mile race meant that the horses would
pass the grandstand twice. The regular
track judges were on duty. The official
started sent the horses on their way.
Squawman Poor Loser
AS the horses thundered by the
stands the first time, the Indian nag
was in the lead. When they passed
the stands the second time, at the
finish line, the farmers horse was
ahead by several lengths. And that
should have been all there was to
it, except the pay-off and voicing con-
g%ratulationS.
The farmer collected from the stake
holder. The Indian protested. The red
man declared that his horse won, stat
ng that the terms of the race pro-
ided that the horse passing the grand

North Dakota State Fair to
Open July Fourth at Minot

Indianapolis, will be on hand to take
part in the races.
The educational displays at the state
fair will be on a parallel with those
of former years. Indications are that
many of the finest livestock herds in
the state will be on display, making
agricultural displays, due to the gener:
GUS rains, will be above the standard
of the past years. The ,women's de-
partment displays, conceded to be as
fine as those at some Of the largest

heads.
Another outstanding feature of the
fair program will be a reunion of old
timers and pioneers who settled this
part Of the United States and Canada.

ate to have it returned as was G.
L. Scholten of near Luverne.
Scholten walked into a grocery
store, bought some merchandise,
and wrote out a check. After he
had started writing the check, he
noticed that he had made a mis-
take, so he stuffed the check into
his pocket and wrote out another
one. Before leaving he threw the
"check" into the coal pail, but he
accidentally grabbed SIS bill by
mistake. He left the store and
went elsewhere to do more shop
ping
A few minutes after Scholten
had left another customer walked
in and threw a lighted match into
the coal pail, accidentally setting
its contents and the S. bill afire.
He too walked out of the store.
Still another customer walked
in and noticing the flames, extin-
guished the fire and found the SIS
which had not yet been burned.
Scholten was running short of
cash and returned short time
later to inquire about his loss.
Fortunately the finder was bless

turned the bill

SENIOR NEWS

The Shorthand II class has just
received its magazines. They
contain stories, business letters,
and jokes written in shorthand.
The stories are by well-known
authors such as Mark Twain and
Emerson. 1 will tell you little
about the history of shorthand:
at is very possible that the de-
sire in man to write his thoughts
down rapidly had something to
do with the creation of shorthand,
for that particular art is by no
means modern one. 1t has been
found that the ancients practised
shorthand, and a papyrus has
been discovered which denoted
that the Egyptians in the year
one hundred and fifty-five knew a
system of shorthand. In the six
teenth century pamphlets were
published in England on the
'arte of short writing At one
period short writing was quite a
craze. Perhaps the most famous
of all shorthand writers was
Samuel Pepys. You have all
heard of the celebrated diary he
wrote. 1t is a work of immense
historical value, and it was writ
ten by Pepys in Shelton's short
hand. Many years elapsed before
it was deciphered for general
reading. We do not know who
first invented shorthand. Its
many systems have had many
teachers. Queen Elizabeth gave
a certain Timothy Bright mono
poly for his book extending over
is years. There are plenty of
systems in use today.
In German II we have just got
our six weeks test marks. Those
having in the nineties were Syl-
via Dahmes, Harold Foreman,
Marie Hoepner, those having
from IS to 80 were Raymond
Freise, Betty Greene, Berna
Scheffler, and Grace Stevenson.
Friday was Miss Cory's birth
day, the pupils surprised her by
singing Happy Birthday" over
our sound system. I guess she
didn't know we knew it was her
birthday.
The English III classes have
started their unit on public
speaking. Most of the students
are more anxious to finish this
unit than any other one. Last
Monday and Tuesday we gave
expositions with the aid of a
blackboard diagram. There are
nine definite steps that we must
follow when we give an EXPOSE
ton. On Wednesday we wrote
themes on our personal idea of A
Friend, A Snob, A Dumbell, A
Sissy, A Failure, Courage, and
Hero. Most of these were very
interesting. The last part of the
week was spent on oral talks.
With full cooperation the stud
ents and the assisting teacher:
Mrs. Falk get along very nicely
in the absence of Miss Sturde-
want.

lishment of our Government and
