ed me to go anywhere unless you add
that some business transaction may in
terfere."
"Business is business, answered
Rob. and the sooner 1 make a deal the
happier I'll be."
Mr. Moore then addressed Robert,
saying, "I believe I'll list my land with
you."
"Are you going to move away
said Rob, in an excited manner
"Well, if 1 can sell, I believe I'll
take Mrs. Moore to another climate
and besides 1 am getting pretty old to
farntf."
"I'd hate to see you go," Bob said.
"I'll list the land with you, and if
you sell it at $40.00 an acre, I'll pay
you a commission of five per cent for
the deal."
"Five per cent," said Robert in sur
prise.
"Yes, at $40.00 per ncr That
will be $ 1200.00 for you."
Robert spoke with some hesitition
in his voice, "Well, I hate to see you
leave here but that is a splendid busi
ness proposition and, atl I have some
prospective land buyers back east, 1
shall write to them to come out at
once."
"1 am really anxious to sell, said
Mr. Moore, and 1 want to take Becky
and Julia away as soon as possible."
"Ju—Ju—Jul—ia? Robert stammer
ed."
Mr. Moore smiled, and placing his
hand upon Robert's shoulder, said,
"There might be a bigger commission
than that, if you clods the deal," and
he cai't his eyes on Julia, who stood
half blushing and as sweet as a morn
ing glory when it first opens to the
tun's rays at daybreak.

scraps from your newspapers."
Loudon: "But does the fact that
two newspapers which are edited by
two men determine where the county
seat shall be placed?"
Editor Scissors: "Yet. and Sentinel
Butte is the geographical center of
Golden Valley county."
Loudon: 'These are the only two
arguments you have. The first one is
absurd and your contention that the
county seat diould be located at the
geographical center is weak and faul
ty. Does not the county seat or cap
itol of any county or nation accommo
date the greatest number of people
when it is placed in the center of pop
ulation. Take Egypt for example.

barren waste and the other third lies

About this moment a traveling
salesman entered and asked Bill Slo
cum, "Got any ice water?"
Bill replied, "The hired man went
down to the spring after some an
hour ago and ought to be back in a
couple more."

he salesman walked toward the
rorner of the room which was evi
dently meant to be the bathroom and
after priming the pump he managed
to draw a pint of brown water froirt
the squeaky piece of mechanism. lAft
er washing in the cold water he in
quired, "May I have a clean towel?'
Bill Slocum replied, "About seventy
have wiped on that towel already and
none of them have complained."
There is loud talk outside and John
D. Billions, banker, came in complain
ing about the temporary location of
the county seat in a village like Sen
tinel Butte and he proclaimed in loud
tonet), "None of my money will be
loaned out on farmlands with a coun
ty seat like this." He told the clerk
that there wasn't much covering on
his bed and said, "this is certainly a
frost out here in this hamlet and I
wish you would scare up a couple of
blankets."
Slocum replied without hesitation or
any aipparent embarrassment "Bun
yen's livery teanr.' is out and as soon
at) they return I shall get you some.
Billions continued complaining and
concluded only when he was inter
rupted by yc^ig Landem who came
in the door with two grips in his hands
and a couple of Iowa investors follow
ing him.
"Got two rooms?" asked Landem,
addressing the clerk.
"Pretty well crowded but I wilt
bunk with Abe over at the stable and
they can double up on my cot."
The investors exclaimed in Unison,
"It will not be necessary for you to
surrenedr your cot." One of them ad
ding, "We shall not stay over night."
Landem told them they had not
seen the best of the land in Golden
Valley county and that it lay west of
the buttei' and also that there was a
fine city built by the farmers, with
nine big elevators, just ten miles west.
