THE BORN NEWSPAPER MAN.
He Cannot Oct Away Fram His Trade. Even In
Vacation.
New
Orleans Tftnes-Democrat:
"Speakings of vacation?/' said an old
newspaper man, "do you know it is al
most impossible for the newspaper man,
the real newspaper man, the fellow who
has it in his blood, who gets excited
when the fire bell rings, and all that
sort of thing—do you know it is almost
impossible for a man of this sort to
take a vacation? He simply can't
break away from the office completely.
The bookkeeper, the clerk, the lawyer,
the doctor, the men engaged in other
kinds of business can generally get
away and forget all about the little af
fairs of the office, the store, the shop,
and so on. But the newspaper man
cannot altogether snap the ties wliich
bind him to the office where he is «m
ploveil. There is a certain subtle, in
definable something which chains him
to the office, and he simply can't break
away. I suppose it is because of the
excitement of the business. The news
paper office is a sort of world-center.
All the forces of society, politics, re
ligion. everything counted among the
world's activities, seem to converge in
the newspaper office, and I suppose a
man becomes so accustomed to a high
ly tensioned life that he can't get away

from the feeling of interest. There is
a pathetic side to this condition. I
know of no more melancholy spectacle
than the newspaper man trying to loaf.
His vacation season is a perfect bore.
He is a fish out of water, and it ever
flouncing back toward the water's edge
where the waves are splashing and
beating and breaking on the shoreline.
All of which brings me to the point I
have in mind, namely, that it would not
be a bad idea for the newspapers of the
country to establish vacation papers—
that is, papers to be gotten out durifig
the,vacation period of newspaper men.
Papers of this kind could be scattered
over the country at convenient and
comfortable points, and they would be
a great boon to newspaper men. Make
'em broad and liberal, and allow the
fellows who loaf to write anything they
want to write. You would get a fine
lot of stuff. You ould bring the talent
of the country in closer touch, and you
would add a great deal to the life of
the fellows who really do not know
what to do with the few weeks they are
given to loaf in during the hot season.
What is the matter with the vacation
pdp«r fellows, just for luck?'*j

A KNOTTY LEGAL PROBLEM.
A Short Ckagfe Transaction That It Pudbii
the Legal Fraternity.
In a transaction .yesterday in, which
lie figured William Knerr, the flour mill
,man, has discovered that he is $18 out
in cold1 cash, but he hasn't as yet dis
covered his legal status in the case, and
the problem he has carried, up to the
^lawyers is something of a sticker.
Yesterday morning a gentleman,
whose name is withheld for the present,
entered Mr. Knerr's office with a bill
for $8.85. Mr. Knerr looked it over and
found it correct.
"I will pay that bill," said the mill
man,'" if you will accept and cash a
check for $18.85, as I have not time 'tb
go to the bank and get the money."
The collector receipted his bill and
took the check. He took it out to get it
cashed and returning, could not make
the right change. In an endeavor to
settle the matter Knerr gave the collec
tor a $10 bill and received $1 in change,
which for the moment seemed to him to
balance the matter up all straight. In
checking up his cash later he found
Ajit $18 short, and then for the first time
tumbled to his error. He went to the
man with his troubles, but did not get
satisfaction. The transaction was not
disputed but the fellow blamed him for
tendering a check when he had the cash
to pay. the bill. The miller sought legal
advice with the view of causing the ar
rest of the party, whot had "short
changed" him, but the attorneys are un
decided about the act being of a crimi
nal nature, it being held that the money
Was not obtained by fraud or stealth,
and advise Mr. Knerr to sue to recover
judgment. V'7-
I PROBERT'S GENERAL STORE.
Wheatland Eagle: It is reported by
good authority that a general store will
fbe
inaugurated sooh at Mttnger-—near
where the sweet magnolia blooms and
the snowy white lillies come peeping
through the sun-kissed waters of Tom
my Jones' dam. The promoter of this
latest enterprise is none other than Mr.
Clem Probert of Fargo, who owns the
n. w. J4 of sec 30 up there. Mr. Pro
bert believes there is a field for an in
stitution of this kind around that ter
ritory, and incidentally it may enhance
the. value of his farm property, which
in event a town was established, would
form a part thereof. A general line of
merchandise will be handled, also a
full line of farm implements and pos
sibly wood and coal. Things certainly
Took good for Tommy Jones' tojvij.

ATTACHED THE CAB.
DVlieatland Eagle: On Friday nfght
local parties through the good offices
of a "Sherlock Holmes" succeeded in
locating a team and cab belonging to
'John Smith of Moorhead, and driven
by his brother Fred, while in the city,
on its,'return from Valley City to Far
%o. Now there's nothing unusual in
driving a cab from Valley City to Far-
foU
!go,
Co.
bftt -it Will be remembered that a
$2do judgment rests upon the head of
the owner thereof in favor of Con Brcn
,'nam fop- services rendered. The outfit
was apprehended: at Casselton by Dep-
Rossand at,achment
Claims are made that the rig belongs
to other parties living in Moorhead
arid-'that the execution will not stick.
,T^is fis |a matter which will, develop
sooner or later. Anyway Brennan,
through his attorney, Mr- Stower^, is
going after what now looks to be a neat
little pickup.

CREAMERY FOR
"Every careful housekeeper," says
the Monarch man, "will appreciate

ment for the care and
removal of the ashes.
They will not spill over
the sides of the ash pan
nor draw out on the
floor even if neglected.
The ash pa,n is provided
with a bail and closed
at the back end. No shoveling, no dust, no cleaning up after it.'I
Valley City Times-Record: W. t.
W'tter, of. Melrose, Minn., has-been
in the city about a week looking the
ground over with the view of. putting
in a creamery, and has finally decided to
locate here. Associated with him is
Emil Karlen, who has had a successful
creamery at Melrose for the past five
years and who is known as one of the"
best butter makers,in Minnesota. Mr.
Witter has secured the old creamery
site, in Benson's addition west of the
park, and will at once commence the
erection of buildings.
They expect to begin business as
soon as. the buildings are in readiness
of which fact due announcement will
be made. The plans -call for a sub
stantial and well arranged building
for the creamery proper and a good
sized barn. There will be cement
floors in. the creamery .enabling those
it* ch&Dg^o flush the.. working rooms,
with water, thereby ensuring scrupu
lous cleanliness, fifsf consideration
in a creamery.
Mr. Witter artel his partner come
well recommended, both as to their
financial resources and their qualifica
tions as creamery men, and will no
doubt prove desirable acquisitions to
Valley City's list of business men.. One
of the features connected with their de
cision .to locate here which will appeal
favorably both to business men and
farmers is the fact that they are asking
no bonus or concessions of any kind. It
is a ^straight business proposition with
them.
