had remarked earlier in the day
this was the 25th anniversary
of his wedding day—and it did
not take long to pass the word
around. When Mr. and Mrs.
Norton returned from the show
they found the house, as they
left it, in perfect darkness. Mr.
Nortou turned on the electric
light with the switch and seat
ed sedately and silently around
the rooms were the surprise
party. It did not take, them
long to catch their breath and
soon there was all kind of fun.
Cards were produced and the
evening was spent most pleas
antly. The party brought with
them ample provision for lunch
and served refreshments, after
which Mr. and Mrs. Norton
were presented a stiver baking
dish aud tray as h. commemora
tion of the important day and
as a token of the esteem of their
large circle of friends. From
out the city, Mr. and Mrs. Dada
and Mr. and Mrs. Josewski
of Cayuga, were present for old
times sake.
Up the line of the Milwaukee

a railroad train. In due season,
the claim agent o/ the railway
railway called: "We under

ceased was a very docile and
valuable animal/' said the
agent in his most persuasive
On Friday evening last a very claim-agently manner, "a
we sympathize with .you and
your family in,your loss. But,
Mr. Olsen, you must remember
this: Your cow had no busi
ness on our tracks. Those
tracks are our private property
and when she invaded them
she became a tresspasser. Tech-
nically speaking, you, as her
owner, became a tresspasser
also. But we have no desire
to carry the issue into court
and possibly give you trouble.
Now, then, what do you regard

you and the railway company."

K. F. Worth of Hankinson
and family are visiting rela
tives in Minneapolis.
Jos. Reinke of Hankinsou left
Wednesday evening for Ken
mare to care for his sister Mies
Elizabeth, who is seriously ill.
Rev. Jos. F. Studuicka writes
friends of Hankinson that he
is enjoying the balmy Florida
atmosphere to the fullestextent.
He is making St. Augustine,
America's oldest city, his head
quarters.
A young man residing about
ten miles southwest of Hankin
son was arrested Tuesday night
and taken to Wahpeton on a
charge of seduction. Hither a
wedding or a prosecution will
result, we are informed.
Miss Emma Eckes resigned
as teacher of the 3rd grade and
left the first of this week for
Minneapolis to take a short
course in office work prepare
tory to taking the position of
office deputy under Superin
tendent Barnes.
A tramp asked for a drink in
a saloon. The request was
granted, and when in the act
of drinking the proffered bever
age, one of the young men
present exclaimed: "Stop! make
us a speech. It is poor liquor
that doesn't loosen a man's
tongue." The tramp swallowed
down the drink and as the
liquor coursed through his
blood, straightened himself and
stood before them with a grace
and dignity that all his rags
and dirt could not obsure.
"Gentleman," he said, "I look
tonight at you and myself, and
it seems to me that I look upon
the picture of my blighted man
hood. This bloated face was
cnce as handsome as -yours
this shambling figure once
walked as proudly as yours, for
I was a man of the worlid of
men. I too, once had a home
and friends and position. I had
a wife as beautiful as an artist's
dream, but I dropped the price
less pearl of her honor and re
spect into a cup of wine, and,
like Cleopatra, saw it disolve,
then quaffed it down in the
brimming draught. I had clil
dren sweet and pure as the
flowers of Spring, and saw
them fade and die under the
blighting eurse of a drunken
father. I had a home, where
love lit its flame upon the altar
and administered before it,,hut
I put out the holy fire, and
darkness and desolation reign
ed in its stead. I had aspira
tions that soared as high as
the morning star, but I broke
and bruised those beautjful
a an a I
might hear their cries no more.
Today I am a husband without
a wife, a father without a child,
a tramp without a home, and a
man in whom every good im
pulse is dead. All have been
swallowed up in a maelstrom
of drink." -The trump ceased
speaking. The do or a were

men are matting searching in

interest to all the people.
Among those who have made
or in at on a
who have made such know
ledge highly successful in
bringing guilty parties to jus
tice, is Clifford G. Roe of Chi
cago. For a term of years Mr.
Roe was assistant State's At
torney and during his term of
office most valuable services
were rendered. v.
Mr. Roe is booked for seven
lectures in N. Dak., one of
which is to be given in the
Wahpeton Opera House Mon
day evening, Feb. 6. Perhaps
no lecturer has addressed a
larger number of audiences in
the last two years than has
Lawyer Roe. Very frequently
has he spoken three times a
day
He is not only a lecturer but
a busy lawyer who within the
last year hps won more than
fifty cases against pauders and
white slave traders. Mr. Roe
is a live wire and it is his pur"
pose to reach the people with
the truth.
This is an opportunity to the
citizens of Wahpeton, Brecken
ridge and surrounding country
and towns to hear a man of
national fame who has justly
won by hard fighting his re
putation. The Detroit Free
Press says: "Calling a spade
in a in an
straight from the shoulder talk,
a mere slip of a lad so far as
looks go, held two audiences
spellbound at different times
this afternoon by the forceful
earnestness of his eloquence,
when he told of the horrors of
the traffic in human beings,
being carried on in the cities
today,—a traffic he is fighting
with all the strength and might
of his comative powers."'
Remember the date and place.
This lecture is for both men
and women. .General admis
sion, 50 cents, to nil students
