A Funeh of Knockers^
The Crookston bunch are all
seasoned r. layers, according to the
Fargo Call, many of whom have
been playing ball in this neck o'
the woods for several seasons.
The team also has several players
loaned them by the Minneapolis
management. The team should
put up a rattling good game arfd
be well up to the front, but some
are inclined to the opinion that
Iaycan will have his hands full
keeping his bunch on a peace
basis. A team of knockers can
no" deliver the goods no matter
how capable they are, and the
sooner the kickers are weeded
out the better for the team. Of
the pitching staff little is known,
but they come well recommended.
The Encampment.
O. Thorson, traveling passen
ger agent for the Great North
ern, called on Commander Bailey
of the G. A. R. Encampment as
sociation to make arrangements
as to rates, etc., for the Grand
Army encampment at this place
from July 21-5. Reduced rates
have been made from all parts of
the state. A novel feature of
this encampment will be ladies'
day. The ladies of the W. R. C.
will make all arrangements for a
camp fire on that day, and pro
pose to make the day one to be
remembered by the visitors.
The Modern Woodmen are
going to hold a picnic during the
encampment and will draw a
large crowd to the city.
The management of the roads
made all concessions asked, and
offer whatever assistance maybe
required to make the excursions
this summer a greater success
than ever before. Both gentle
men were highly pleased with
the successful outcome of the
trip.
Work Out Fines.
"Chief Bailey has a
ten-day men at work cleaning up
the streets this week. The chief
says he proposes to make all
offenders work out their lines
hereafter."

Another recounted a tale of suffer

a small
station some fifty miles west of l)u-
lutfi a half-dozen men from various
I places chanced to meet recently.
The conversation opened with a
I remark concerning the weather, and
from that drifted easily to the se
I verity of winters in the different
parts of the Northwest.
One man. who came from the Twin
i Cities, told a sad story of frozen
water pipes and other household in-
I zard.
Stories were thus told until five
I of the group had contributed in
stances upon the subjeet.
There was a pause in the conver

little apart from the others, quietly
smoking a pipe, remarked: "Well, the

SOME ONE-LINE AUTHORS.
Writers Whose Fame Rests Upon a
Single Book or Quotation.
It is one of the many odd experi
ences of lite that, while some men In
pursuit of tamo write a library of
books and die and are forgotten, other
men. under some happy inspiration.,
write a single line, poem or volume,
and are forever ranked with the im
mortals.
In some eases immortality goes
a-begging from the modest shrinking
of an author to claim his offspring,
as in the ease of the oracle who
penned the eloquent word "Don't" in
answer to Punch's request for advice
to those about to marry.
Very few read Congreve nowadays,
and fewer still could quote half a
dozen lines from any of his poems
and dramas and yet to many who
have never even heard his name there
are few lines more familiar than the
oft-quoted and misquoted. "Music
hath charms to soothe the savage
breast."
Charles Wolfe, the Irish divine and
poet, wrote many poems of excellence,
but only one redeems him and all his
works from obsahrity, and of this few
could get beyond the tirst line. "We
buried him darkly at dead of night."
Thomas Cray has left one legacy
only from all his writings, but that is
an imperishable onehis "Elegy Writ
ten in a Country Churchyard," the
most widely quoted poem in our lan
guage. Yet those who can recite every
word of it could probably not even
give the name of a single other poem
by the same writer,
Lady Anno Barnard would have no
place at all in the public memory if
she had not written "Auld llobin
Gray."
A SYMPATHY IN COLORS.
College President Rings Changes on
Good Old Lady's Name.
A certain college president employed
a housekeeper named Green. One day
when the president's wife had com- I
pany Mrs. Green entered the room and
was introduced to a caller.
When the guest was about to do- 4}
part she found herself unable to recall
the housekeeper's name, but knew it:
signified a color, and concluded it
must be Brown so she politely said.
"Good-bye, .Mrs. Brown 1 am very
glad to have met you."
At the supper table the incident was
related to thfi president as a good joke
on Mrs. Green.
"She called you I Irs. Brown, did
she?" said the president. "Well, that
was much better than to have been
called Mrs. Gray or Mrs. Red, Mrs.
Yellow or Mrs. Black, wasn't it?"
"I suppose that is the way to look
at it." replied the housekeeper, "but 1
declare I never felt so green in my
life."
"Oh. well! It was of no consequence.
I wouldn't feel blue about It,' sooth
ingly advised Mr. President.
He Misled Them.
"What lias become of that Mr. Jol
liem who used to be so fond of your
little Pereival?" we ask of the proud
mamma.
"Oh,' she says, "don't mention that
detestable person to me again!-"
"lint why? He seemed thoroughly
enraptured with the child. He was
always dshdling it on his knees and
getting it to talk for him"
"That's just it. He would take lit
tle Pereival en his lap and stuff the
I child with candy, and encourage him
in every way to try to talk, and then
-and then"
"And then what? He didn't try to
kidnap the infant?"
"Worse than that!" she lamented.
"We learned that he was tllfl manager
of a biscuit factory, and his only pur
pose in fawning-over our darling was
to Si I him to say something that
could he converted into a name for
a new brand of goods."
Estate Easily Settled.
An attorney from Houston, Tex.,
tells this story of Judge Roy Bean,
justice of the peace in the Lone Star
state. who*is known better as "The
Law West of the Pecos River":
He held a coroner's inquest on a
Mexican who had been found dead
i near the Pecos river. The jury brought
in a verdict of accidental death. The
I crowd was dispersing when the judge
i calhd them back.
I "There is another matter to attend
to," he said. "On this man's body was
i found $",( and a six-slTooter. It is
I contrary to the laws of Texas and to
the peace and dignity of the state to
i earn concealed weapons. Therefore
i confiscate the revolver and fine the
deceased $1. The costs in the case
are $49, which just settles his estate."
One of Bismarck's Cousins.
At Niederlheme in Germany lives
a strange man. He is a first cousin
of the late Prince Bismark, but he
claims a higher lineage than this, for
he tells everyone tha he is the Mes
siah. He spends all of his time in
the forest and will have nothing to
do with civilization. Recently a peas- I
ant asked him what he thought of
death, and he replied:
"The time is approaching when I
will be the only person on earth, for i
I am the Messiah, and the kingdom
that is promised to me will soon bo I
established. Then champagne will
flow freely and all will be hanuv''
