Big callouses padded his hands, but he missed many agonies, back on the soil, that modern day custom demands. My grandfather secrubbed with my grandmother’s soap—he rubbed a big chunk on his spine, but I have to bathe with this liquified dope, emitted a drop at a time. My grandfather dried on my grandmother’s towel ‘twas ugly and coarse in its weave, but show him crepe paper—I know he would scowl, and wipe off his face on his sleeve! My grandfather ate at my grandmother’s board ; ’twas ‘“table d’hote’’ with a vimj this ‘“a la carte’’ busmess——-why bless the dear Lord—’twould spell out starvation for him!. = My grand mother knitted my grandfather’s hose; he wore the same pair for an age; the way that my silk ones give way at the toes arouses my slumbermg rage! Old Dobbin pulled Grandpa on many a load—full many a nag has been spryer;but Gramp never lay on his back in'the road, repairing a puncture proof tire! DEFFINITE INFORMATION Dedicated to Norman Black Dear Farmer Jones: Here's something for your “colyum.” O. M. T. ‘Absolute knowledge I have none, But my aunt’s washerwoman'’s sister’s son Heard a policeman on his beat, Say to a laborer on the sireet, That he had a letter just last week, ‘Written in the finest Greek, -From a Chinese coolie in Timbuctu, Who said the niggers in Cuba knew Of a colored man in a Texas town, Who got it straight from a circus ‘clown, \ . That a man in Xlondike heard the news, From a gang of South American Jews, About somebody in Borneo, Who heard a man who claimed to know, Of a swell society man—a fake— ‘Whose mother-in-law will undertake, To prove that her seventh. husband’s neice, Had stated in a printed piece, That she has a son with a cocked eye, Who knows when the League is going to die. —ANONYMOUS. We acknowledge the above and thank O. M. T. for his kindness in sending it in. FARMER JONES. * * * THE REASON If North Dakota is discredited in the East, and if its citizens are considered disloyal in that section of the country, whence camé the meat that the East- ern people have fed upon? It is a question easy to answer. The Grand Forks Herald, the Fargo Forum, the Pioneer Press, et al, in their sublime eagerness to discredit the League to which such a large portion of .the peo- ple of the state belong, have gone agog in the rashness of the statements made, and the Eastern people reading those papers or clippings from them could not help but get an erroneous impression. This may be due either to ignorance or indiscretion on the part of those papers—and we hope the lat- ter, Real MEN would attempt to right such an impression; real DEMA- GOGUES would hake it worse by more blundering, misleading, awkwardly- worded statements of the kind already in circulation. * * * The dailies who have have made the East think that the Northwest is disloyal have in their attack on the League done about the same foolish trick as did the man who whipped his boy because he thought the boy had sworn, and swore at him furiously while he was whipping him. » » 'THREE-CENT POSTAGE WILL WORK A REAL HARDSHIP ON CHRONIC LOVE MAKERS—A ON THE PRIMROSE COLUMN O: THE FAMILY PAPER. * * * Some think that if the Kaiser were to be called suddenly and forcibly to his Great Reward the 'war would be over with; the Krown-Prince, however, is a real chip off of the old block. The change would be about as notice- able as it would have been had Teddy Roosevelt resigned the presidency in favor of Jack John- son. PAGE FOUR i J.E T, A good cause always thrives best under persecutmn, if the ' opposi- tion in Minnesota wishes: the League to carry the state, the way to carry out its wishes is to go on with rotten egg threats, etc., and other violations of law. x * * * The term ‘“mayor” is really misap- plied in the case of the chief executive of Fergus Falls. The fellow is acting more like a jack-ass than a good sensi- ble “mare.” * * *. EVIDENTLY THE EGGS AND THE CITY FATHERS ARE VERY MUCH ALIKE AN FERGUS FALLS—BOTH ROTTEN. * * * You can Hardly blame the Minnesota politicians, can you? Hang it all, don’t you see that their jobs are being Jjeopardized? * * * The Leader subscription list is growing like a bad weed. Bad weed! Norm needs an idea to harp on, so we thought we'd. be gener- ous, and drop: this little help. " Grab onto it, Norm! Bad weed—bad weed—bad weed! @ * * &, THE WIFE WHO CAN MAKE HER OWN DRESSES IS APT TO BE FASHIONABLE IN HER CLOTHES, BUT OLD-FASHIONED IN HER DE- SIRE TO SAVE HER HUSBAND MONEY. { : * * * The = Mohammedan when he prayed turned his face toward Mecca; we take it that Norman Black turns his face toward St. Paul—that is, of course, granting that Norm really does pray. E In the township where Farmer Jones lives, moves, and has his being, every farmer except two bought Liberty bonds—and those two want to. How unpatriotic these farrners are, anyway! * * “These farmers have everything their own way in this state!” com- plained a peevish fellow in another line of work. Not on your account, sonny— 1in spite of you rawther' * Lynn Frazler mlght have felt a little stiff and awkward the first few days that he wore the mantle, and he might have felt uncomfort- able in the gubernatorial straight- ‘back chair, but he soon limbered up, and, believe me, he is right at home now—anyway he is where he belongs! #* * At a recent meeting of the Sewing Circle, in addition to the married Wp- men who are always present, the fol- lowing girls were also on deck: Carda Buttons, Paira: Shears, Yarda Cloth, Skeina Yarn, Spoola. Thread and Grossa Pins. * * IN ORDER TO PROPERLY ECONOMIZE A MAN SHOULD SHAVE BOTH HIMSELF AND HIS BILL OF FARE - ® It seems queer that many fami- lies nowadays are unable to live on - one hundred thousand dollars per annum, when most of us are still living in hopes of seeing that amount some day, somehow, somes where, with two or three ciphers knocked off of the west side of it. — - e e~
