GOING HOME
An Eastern Fxodus of Traveling Men
WiliOpen January With a Rush
For Business.
Very few traveling men are making
Fargo now and the familiar name of
the "drummer" written with a flourish
on the hotel registers is conspicuous
by its absence. This is the lime of
year when traveling men return to
their houses preparatory to the com
pleting of reports for the present year
and the readjustment of things for the
coming year.
All of the "drummers" are headed
"home" and even if they do stop in
Fargo a great many of them do not
try to "work" the city, but stop be
tween trains and catch the first one out
for their headtfflarters. Most of them
are going east just now. S
"It won't be long though till the boys
are out again," sai^t a .fclerk in"'one of
the leading hotels list night. "Some of
the traveling men have made settle
ments with their houses now and are
ready to begin a new year's campaign.
"It's a funny thing, but the first
"drummers" out after the new season
begins are those in the haberdashery
lines. You can always depend upon it
that the first demand for sample rooms
will be from them. I'll bet that on
Christmas day there will be a neck
wear salesman here on his first trip
out. After them wilj. come the rest of
the travelers in a bunch and they will
come by droves after that.
"The last people here were ladies'
shirt waist fellows, showing the gauzy
things for the torrid months of next
summer. I dropped down in the sam
ple room last week and there, display
ed on the tables, was a grand array of
white shirts. Looked a little ice
creamy, to be sure, but generally the
first week in December finds the shirt
waist man here. You see they take
their orders early and then the goods
are made up during the first months of
the year ready ,for shipment in the earty
spring. The straw hat man has been
here. In women's headwear it's dif
ferent. Nothing in the millinery line,
except a few felt shapes, known as
spring street or walkers, is shown until
March and generally the first displays
are made in the houses, where the mil
liners assemble.
"The first of the year is always a
busy time with the traveling men.
They comp out with anentirely new line
of samples and there is a grand rush
for orders. There must be millions of
"angels," for the January rustt 'is the
same ail oyer the country."

BOY IS IMPROVING.
Jamestown Capital: Dr. DePuy re
ports that Frank Plinski, the boy who
was shot in the knee, is doing well at the
»ty-hospital-and will probably have the
use of his limb, some of the smaller
cords being saved and these will develop.
v.'
POWDER IN HIS FACE.
Lisbon Free Press: The 4-year-old
son of Chris Billing picked up a cart
ridge from which the shot had been re
moved leaving however the powder.
The little fellow threw it into an open
stove pipe and looking down into it
waited for results. The powder ignit
ing a blinding flash struck the experi
inentor squarely in the face. The in
jured boy was at once brought to the
hospital here and while his f^ce is badly
powder burned the physician thinks his
eyes are injured.

n cash, and the balance is paid for
n a note which is to be paid for out

the profits of the stock.

CHEAP FUEL PROMISED FAROO
Catoait Waahbupti DtteraM to Mtki IIm
MetropoHs Strictly Lignite CHy.
:Will
Fargo become a lignite city?
"Yes," says Gen. Washburn, and
there was a merry, significant twinkle
in his eye as he said it.
What has the general up his sleeve?
Big things for the coal consumer.
And if He is successful in getting
tliiem though the probabilities are
that Fargo will become a lignite city
and that heavy co bills, will be a
thing of the past.
The news is waited down from the
Washburn coal fields that great im
provements to the mines have re
cently been made and that the cpmpany
is now able to put lignite on the cars at
$1 p|er ton, or 33 1-3 per ceut cheaper
than formerly.
This would cut quite a slice off the
prevailing price of fuel, but the gen
eral isn't satisfied. Lf
He's been figuring with the 1ft
railway.
And a gentleman who is pretty close
to General Washburn and his business
interests says that there is a strong
probability that the N. P. company
will make a special Fargo rate, cutting
the present tariff of $1.50 per ton to
$1.15. With this scheme carried out,
and the prospects arev reported excel
lent, lignite could be laid down in
Fargo for $2.15 per ton in car load lots
and there is'^no good reason why the
consumer, by the ton, should not have
it placed in his bin at $3 or probably
less in ten and twenty ton lots.
The new proposed freight reduction
calls for a straight pull from the mines
at Washburn into Fargo and would
cut no figure in the present rates at
intermediate points. That is a matter
that will probably be taken up later by
General Washburn. The one great un
dertaking that he now has in hand is
to make Fargo strictly a lignite city,
and with this consumated he will take
up other towns and create a few more
ligftite strongholds.
A CHRISTMAS CAROL.
By Linda Wj Slaughter, written to be
sung by the Sunday school of Wilton
at their Christmas tfee exercises, De
cember, 1903.
The bells are pealing
A Christmas glee.
The snow is whirlitlg
In circles free
Out ot the alley,
A down the street
The wild wind rusH^r-"
With flying feet.
Over the city,
11 ,v
Beside the lake,
The bare trees quaking,
Sad moanings make.
A night of feiring,
For houseless poor
But over the storm,
Shining and pure,
Tenderly beaming,
Glimmers afar,
Thro' the clouds drifting,.
A pale soft star.
Gentle its gleaming, i
Constant its light,
Silently calming
The bitter night.
On Bethlehem once
The same star shone•
On. shepherds watchiltjj
Their flocks alone.
Joy of glad tidings
It brought \o earth,
Sweetly foretelling
A Savior's birth.
Oh, glad bells pealing
A Christmas glee, ,-v
Ring in rejoicing
An anthem free.
Stormwinds more loudly
Your harp-strings sweep
Night angels on earth
Their vigils keep.
As in ages past
The skies endure
Lovingly, gently,
Constant and pure v
v
The same star telllitip^
A savior's birth
In love is beaming
Still on the earth.
Oh, homeless brother
Its bright rays shine
Tenderly, softly
For thee and thine.
Weak sisters toiling,
Weefling forlorn
For you in pity
A son is born.
Ring bells in gladness
Your Christmas glog
Proclaim the tiding,'
Oh, song-winds free.
