NORTH DAKOTA LETTER.

Jamestown. N. D., June 7. Dear Editor:—l thought perhaps some news of the Hoosiers would be appreciated by our old friends back in real Hoosierdom. Weather is fine. * Crops are now in and are up and looking fine. James Stanley is thinking some of going to California. Editor, wish you were here to go to the lake fishing with us. Fishing is fine now and trijs to the lake are - quite common. Warner Hough seems to enjoy himself in riding in "Pa Roberts’ ” auto. Spencer Holmes is spending a few days with his uncle and family, S. B. Holmes.’ Several Hoosiers joined the measles band, even Geo. Heuson got his share of them. Miss Bertha Holmes is working at Floyd, N.. D., for Mrs. 'D. V. Savage, formerly Miss Stella Brown of Rensselaer, Ind. Sidney B. Holmes has the" auto fever quite bad, but we think a nice gentle horse would be much safer for Sidney to drive in his old age. Several social events are taking place in which the Hoosiers are welcome and certainly enjoying themselves. But the most popular and one longest to he remembered was an .eating contest in which Roy Scott of Rensselaer. Ind., and a Hoosier cook were the leading parties. Roy ate a pie and three- quarters, one cake, dish of salad and four boiled eggs. The cook won the prize by eating two pies, one cake, dish of salad and six eggs. Neither Ro# nor the cook have, had much appetite since. With best wishes of a Hoosier. A Friend of the Democrat.

I try to smile a little everywhere I go And often miss the best things by a mile. I've seen it in the hotels as I wafted for my meals While kickers came and almost had a fit That made all hands step lively, and it's so in other deals— The man who kicks some gets the best of it. The man who smiles continually and never makes a kick Will be imposed upon and often sold. For merchants like to sell their goods and always turn the trick Of passing out what's damaged or is old To one who does not raise a howl and kick for something new. Although the things they sell to him do not fit. I like the smiling method best, but stfll I know ’tis true The man who kicks some gets the best of it. —Charles H. Meiers in Puck.
