The Village Blacksmith.
Under a spreading ehpstnut tree
The village smithy stands
The smith, a mighty man is he
.With large and sinewy hands
And the muscles of his brawny arms
Are as strong as Iron bands.
HI* hai ris crisp, and black and long,
His face is like the tan
His brow is wet with honest sweat,
-He earns whate'er he can.
And looks the whole world In the face,
For he owes not any man.
Wetek in, week out, from
night,
Tou can hear his bellows blow
You can hear him swing his heavy
sledge,
With, measured beat and slow.
Like a sexton ringing the village bell
When the evening sun is low.
And children coming home from
school
Look in at the open door
They love to see the flaming forge,
And hear the bellows roar.
And catch the burning sparks that
fly
Like chaff from a threshing floor.
He goes on Sunday to the church,
And sits among his boys
He heaps the parson pray and preach,
He hears his daughter's vioce
Singing in the village choir
And it make shis heart rejoice
It sounds to him like her mother's
voice
Singing in Paradise.
He' needs must think of her once
more.
How in the grave she lies
And with his hard rough hand he
wipes
Atear out of his eyes.
Toiling—rejoicing—sorrowing,
Onward through life he goes
Each morning sees some task begun,
Each evening sees its close
Something attempted something
done
Has earned a night's repose.
Thanks, thanks to thee, my worthy
friend.
For the lesson thou hast taught.
Thus at the flaming forge of life
Our fortunes must be wrought:
Thus on its sounding anvil shaped
Each burning deed and thought.
—Henry W. Longfellow.

one of their number in the leg.
Hatch was arrested and will have
his hearing shortly. The injured man
was taken to Jamestown. A crowd
gathered on the depot platform when

would be brought in on that train,
but he was not. They made ho seri

TO STOCK RANCH
Former Railroad Man Tfns 20,000
Acre Farm.
Mandan, N. D., Aug. 14.—S. J. Dun
lap, a former passenger conductor on
the Northern Pacific at this place, is
planning on stocking his 20,000-acre
ranch near Custer. Mont. Mr. Dunlap
recently spent some time looking
around for a chance to buy stockers
for his ranch. He finds cattle scarce
and prices very high but he expected
to be able to pick up a few bunches
right away and possibly a few more
later in the season. He prefers to get
native stock.
While a resident of Dickinson a
good many years ago he had a cattle
ranch In the country northeast, hence
he is more or less familiar with the
business.
Grover Dunlap, who was book
keeper for the Dickinson Motor Car
company last summer, has been at
Custer for some time and is very
much interested in the ranching pro
position.
For several years past the Dunlaps
have resided In Minneapolis but they
are thinking now of moving to Bil
lings, which would bring them within
40 miles of their extensive land hold
ings at Custer.
Mrs. Dunlap came down from Bil
lings to visit her daughter, Mrs. R.
v\. Ross, for a short time and it was
expected that Mr. Dunlap would be
duvn the last of this week.

SLOW CASE
Action to Quiet Title Dragged Alone
—One of Chief Witnesses Deaf.
Mandan, N. D„ Aug. 14.—The most
quiet case in district court, in the his
tory of Morton county was tried yes
terday afternoon and in addition to
being the most silent affair it has
broken all records for slowness.
Andrew Iverson of Carl seeks to
quiet title to his farm which J. H.
Rosen claims to have a mortgage on.
I. H. Iverson, a brother of the
plaintiff and one of the main witness
es, is deaf, and It has been necessary
to write all questions asked him by
the attorneys. That entails a great
deal of work and expenditure of time,
for each question must be shown to
the opposing attorneys, the judge and
the stenographer.
Iverson claims he did not know
what he was doing when he signed
the mortgage.
Hanley ard Sullivan represented
the defendan, and W. H. Stutsman
and H. H. HaV.'enberg of Carson were
attorneys for the plaintiff.
The ease was settled out of court,
the plaintiff admitting the validity of
the mortgage and paying for tht
same.
PLAN BIG FAIR
McKenzie
County
Will Hold Big Show
at Alexander Soon.
Alexander, N. D., Aug. 14.—Plans
are well under way for the first an
nual McKenzie county agricultural
fair which will be held at Alexander
some time early in October. The fair
will be held on the same date as the
rural school industrial contest and
corn show, and the dates will be made
known as soon as County Superin
tendent Steffeck can get satisfactory
dating from the state.
The fair will be a two day event
and a teachers' institute will be held
J\frf the same time, so planned
that the last day of the institute will
be the first day of the fair. The
teachers of the county will thus be
able to attend the institute, the rural
school industrial contest and the fair.
Thomas Cooper, state better farm
ing expert, was seen in the matter a
rew days ago and has promised to
send a good speaker on better farm

HOMEOPATHY
Treatment by medicine, no matter
who administers it, is giving a disease
producing agent to a diseased person.
Is it not well, therefore, that the phy
sieian administering a medicine be
guided by a law whereby he may as
certain beforehand what the medicine
will do?
Medicine as It is usually administer
ed, has killed more people than bul
lets and swords.
Homeopathy, being a well demon
strated law for the preparation and
application of medicines, has saved
from suffering and death countless
numbers who without it would have
been sacrificed.
It will pay you to Investigate Home

Little Stories for Bedtime
PRICKLY PORKY NEARLY
CHOKES.
(By Thornton W. Burgess.)
(Copyright, 1914. iby J. G. Lloyd.)
Hardly was Jimmy Skunk beyond
sight and hearing after having made
his call on Prickly Porky the Porcu
pine than Redeye the Vireo, whose
home is in a tree Just at the foot of
the hill where Prickly Porky lives,
heard a very strange noise. He was
very busy, was Redeye, telling all who
would listen how happy he was and
what a beautiful world this Is. Red
eye seems to think that this is his
special mission In life, that he was
put in the Green Forest for this one
special -purpose—to sing all day long,
even in the hottest weather when
other birds forget to sing, his little
song of gladness and happiness. It.
nover seems to enter his head that
ho is making other people happy just
by being happy himself and saying
so.
At nrst he hardly noticed the
strange noise, but when he stopped
singing for a bit of a rest he -heard
it very plainly and.it sounded so very
queer that he flew up the hill toward
the place from which it seemed to
come, and there his bright eyes soon
discovered Prickly Porky. Right away
he saw that Prickly Porky was in
some kind of trouble, and that it was
he who was making the queer noise.
Prickly Porky was on the ground at
the foot of a tree, and he was rolling
over and kicking and clawing at his
mcuth, from which a little piece of
Uark was hanging. It was such a
strange performance that Redeye sim
ply stared for a minute. Then in
flash it came to him what it meant.
Prickly Porky was choking, and if
something wasn't done to help him he
might choke to death!
Now there was nothing that Red
eye himself could do to help, for he
was too small. He must get help
scmewhere else, and he must do It
quickly. Anxiously he looked this
way and that way, but there was
no one in sight. Then he remembered
that Unc' Billy Possum's hollow tree
was not far away. Perhaps Unc' Billy
could help. He hoped that Unc' Billy
\yas at home and he wasted no time in
finding out. Unc' Billy was at home,
and when he heard that his old friend
Prickly Porky was in trouble he hur
ried- up the hill as fast as ever he
could. He saw right away what the
trouble was.
"Yo' keep still just a minute. Brer
Porky!" he commanded, for he did
not dare go very near while Prickly
Porky was rolling and kicking around
so for fear that he would get against
some of the thousand little spears
Prickly Porky carries hidden in htf
coat. Prickly Porky did as he was
told. Indeed, he was so weak from
his long struggle that he was glad to.
Unc' Billy caught hold of the piece.1
of bark hanging from Prickly Porky's
mouth. Then he braced himself and
pulled with all his might. For a min
ute the piece of bark held. Then h'
gave way so suddenly that Unc' Billy
fell over flat on his back. Unc' Billy
scrambled to his feet and looked re
provingly at Prickly Porky, who la
panting for breath and with big tears
rolling down his face.
"Ah cert'nly am surprised, Brer
Perky, Ah cert'nly am surprised thai
yo' should be so greedy that yo' choke
yo'self," said Unc' Billy, shaking hi.'
