Dogs i'm the Great Storm.
CfrOm the Omaha Herald


The recent storm upon the plains was, per-
haps, the most severe ever known. On the
morning of the storm two freighters, Mr..
Jas. McDermott and companion, started from
Camp Robinson for Sidney, with their teams.
They soon were lost and became separated,
and on last Saturday Mr.. McDermott was
found under the following circumstances:
He had wandered for twelve days, accom-
panied by two dogs, without food of any
kind, exposed to the storm day and night,
sleeping without shelter or covering on the
cold ground, and had wasted away to Il mere
skeleton. To add to his sufferings, one day
he saw near him some COW boys, but was too
weak to call loud enough to attract their at
tention, and, like shipwrecked seaman
who sees sail approach, but before 1t
comes within hailing distance beats away
again and disappears. he saw them pass from
him. On last Saturday these same cow boys
heard faint barking or yelping like that of
dogs, and following the sound they came to
them. The dogs were almost reduced to
skeletons, and scarcely had strength to stand,
being in the last stages of starvation. The
cow boys threw them some meat, but instead
of eating it themselves, they picked 1t up IN
their mouths, got on their trembling limbs,
and tried to carry it to their master. ana
thus he was found. The fact that the dogs
refused to eat the meat given them, although
they were dying of starvation, but attempted
to carry it to their furnishing master, is testl-
fled to by men of unimpeachable veracity.
Mr.. McDermott was carried to Sidney,
where he is under the care of the Post Sur
geon, with fair prospects of recovery, al
thoug gh badly frozen, while the dogs have
been cared for at camp near where they
were found. McDermott, in his weak state,
talks constantly of his dogs, and begs for
them to be brought to his bedside, which
wish will be gratified soon. Many things
connected with the great storm will long be
remembered, and the stories told around
many camp fire; but we predict that the
one longest remembered and oftenest repeated
will be the story of the two dogs, which,
when dying with hunger, and the food in
their mouths, refused to eat, but tried to carry
it to their starving master.

A New Species Of Potato.

A correspondent of the Rural World intro
duces to public notice a potato, said to be
superior even to the Early Rose. He says:
''The Snowflake has so many good qualities
and traits that it is universally liked wherever
known. l believe it to be the coming potato,
and will prove a great boon to the potato
growing and eating public as the Early Rose
has been. have long contended that in this
latitude we could not grow late potatoes pro-
fitably, and we needed an early potato that
was of good quality, productive, and would
keep late into the next season. These condi-
tions the Snowflake meets perfectly. 1t ripens
about two weeks later than the Early Rose,
is even more productive and beautiful. oval,
flattened white tubers; eyes even with the
surface, boils and bakes dry and mealy. and
will keep in tip-top condition until late in the
following season. The tubers are medium
sized, and grow close together at the foot of
the plants, which makes easy digging. The
plants are vigorous growers, of light-green
color, which, when they get nearly grown,
fall over, thus covering the whole ground.
and effectually preventing the growth of
weeds after the crop is made. have grown
it three years, and have never seen hol-
low potato, nor has it ever made second
growth and become prongy, and has always
proved uniformly productive. 1t possesses
more good qualities than any other potato
that know of, and is bound to become ex-
ceedingly popular.

The Latest Trick Of Trade.
(FrOm the San Francisco Bulletin.l

From the San Francisco Bulletin.1
The Miller gives an account OF new trick
where one would think it impossible to make
point For instance, good honest wheat is
good the world over. But it is not so good
when it has gone through the hands OF
manipulation who oils it. This practice now
obtains to considerable extent on the CONT
nent 1t is stated that wheat, when in its
natural condition would weigh 1913 Dutch
pounds, by the process of oilng will gain
about sic pounds, or from ten to twelve per
cent. in weight more than there really is OF
wheat. The gain on the part of the dishon-
est seller is from 20s to 25s per ton. The ap-
parent increase in the specific gravity IS OBJ
tanned by an outlay for rape oil of about four
pence. Wheat thus treated can never be
made into good flour. The practice is not
confined to wheat alone, but it is applied to
all grain sold by weight. Of course the adul-
teration can be easily detected. But wheat
oiled in this way is really haAdsomer grain
in appearance than when so such application
has been made It has been possible to adul-
terate flour and sugar. But who ever heard
before of q process for adulterating wheat
before milling? In this country, where wheat
is SO cheap, it is not likely that the cheat will
obtain very extensively. But in times when
the price is extremely high if there could be
a gain of say SIS per ton as in Europe, there
might be great deal of oiled wheat. AS a
trick of the trade this is the latest novelty.

Force of Habit.

In most of our colleges it is the custom for
one member of the faculty-usually the pres
ident-to have the supervision of all absent
and diatory students, and to him every such
one is to go to explain the cause of his alb
sence or tardiness No more kind and in
dulgent guardian of the college discipline
could have been found than Dr. A. Every
student knew we'll his old and stereotyped
way of saying, ''We]l, well, III excuse you
this time; but don't let it happen again.
Although not in accordance with the usual
rule, Mr.. H, married man, had been
admitted to pursue the studies of the regular
course One day he was absent; on the
next, appearing with his class in the doctors
room, he explained, with great embarrass-
ment, that the arrival of an heir had been
the cause of his detention. Without looking
up from the papers on his table, and appar..
emily without thought as to the nature OF
the excuse, so long as there was one, the
doctor graciously remarked: ''Well, we'll,
I'll excuse you this time, but don't let it hap
pen again" The announcement was greeted
by the class with the most tumuItuOus ap-
plause. DRAWER, in Ha'Ter's

QUEEN VICTORIA.
Her Grand Sublime Example to the
Mothers Of the World.

[Courier des Etats Unis, April POI
In the French chamber, in eulogy of Queen
Victoria, Monsieur Martin Nadaud said:
''She has done other things, but
you would laugh too much if told them to
you,'' Voices: mo! no! Tell them.
NJ. Martin Nadaud-It will be permitted
me to say, me, an old Republican, who can
not be suspicioned of royalism, that after be-
ing mounted upon the throne, she has rem.
dered another service, and it would be we'll
that that service might be rendered to France
by our French women of the higher classes.
Mother of family of nine children, she has
sucked the whole nine of them! Tremen-
dous laughter on the Right. Applause on
the Left. Hold on! Yes, she has sucked
all nine of them!
NJ. Robert Mitchell-1ou cannot, however,
ask that of the Marshal McMahon!
NJ. Martin Nadaud-I have only word
more to say. When she knows that there
are noble ladies who abandon their infants
to nurses, she will not receive them at court.
That grand and sublime example bears its
fruits. Mothers and children find themselves
the better for it, and it would be better that
we forget less in France these maternal and
humane preCepts.

BONNEIS IN THE THEATRE.
Tall Millinery Not Allowed I'm English
Cheatrcs-A Test Case.
From the New York Sum-

[From the New York SUM-
The managers of some English theatres
object to bonnets at the play. In various
parts of the Standard Theatre, Shoreditch,
are hung signs bearing the words, mo bon
nets admitted" A cloak room is provided,
where ladies are required to deposit their
bonnets during the performance, and to pay
small fee for having them taken care of.
A lover of liberty who had secured three
seats at this theatre made up his mind that
the bonnet regulation was unreasonable and
illegal. and he determined to disregard it.
Accordingly, he would not permit the two
ladies who accompanied him to deliver up
their hats, and the proprietor would not al
low them to 60 to their secured seats with
their hats on. The ladis then took Oft the
offending bonnets, but insisted upon the right
to carry them to their seats. This was de-
MED, and admission was absolutely refused,
except upon the deposit of the bonnets; but
the price he had paid for the tickets was Of
fered to the gentleman. He would not take
it. and left the theatre. A day or two after
ward he sued the proprietor in the County
Court for breach of contract, laying his dam
ages at one pound sterling. The Judge,
however, decided in favor of the proprietor,
held that the requirement was reasonable,
and one which he had right to enforce.
This decision seems open to serious question.
In these days of tall millinery the regulation
prohibiting the wearing of bonnets in thea
tres may be proper enough, but why seek to
deprive the ladies of the custody of their
hats?

The History Of the South.
from the vicksburg (Miss.) Herald Dem.

from the Vicksburg MISSY Herald (Dem.)
In the years of the past, when there was
slavery in the South, little or no effort was
put forward to secure the means OF advance
ment and progress. We contented ourselves
with buying slaves, and then using them to
the best advantage to enable US to buy more
slaves A person possessed of one or two
families of healthy negroes, became rich by
natural increase of his slaves, it be managed
to keep out of debt and pay his taxes. With
the end of the war we entered upon new
era While we labored under many disad-
vantages, it cannot be denied that we were
possessed of many advantages. Slavery was
u good thing for those who were fortunate
enough to own slaves, but it cannot be de-
MED that il was bad thing for the State.
Illinois and Mississippi entered the Union at
almost the same time, yet Illinois is to-day
ten times as wealthy and prosperous as Mis-
sissippi. Why is this the case? 1t is the re-
suit of the enervating influence of the insti-
tuition of slavery. This comparison could be
made between all Southern States and the
Northern States. Slavery was our Old Man
of the Sea. We are rid of him now, and the
future is in our hands. We will prosper as
we make efforts for prosperity. We can not
prosper, though, if we sit down and hug the
delussive phantom of hope, and do nothing.

Nasal Billiards.
From the New Orleans Democrat

LFrom the New Orleans Democrat]
The novel game of billiards between Capt:
Robert, the French expert nose player, and
Messrs. Maggioli and Coste, attracted an au-
dience of about $50 spectators in the rotunda
of the St. Charles Hotel last evening. The
crowd was very quiet and were only aroused
to enthusiasm when the Captain chalked bis
nose preparatory to executing difficult shot.
Capt. Robert played entirely with bis nose,
lying at full leng tn upon the tables when ne
made his shots, and as he is rather short and
stout, it was quite al exhibition of physical
strength and endurance, it not of skill and
science. The entertainment consisted OF two
games of 200 points each, and as 'the man
with the nose" had to jump on the table to
make his play and then jump down again, he
must, calculating the table to be three teet
high, have jumped up and down about 2,4OO
feet, nearly half mile, and it was not very
good night for jumping, either. The nose
player beat both his opponents and looked
fresh and lively at the end of the contest
the only noticeable change in his appearance
being slight redness at the end of his cue
