PROBABLY no child's story written
IN America has achieved such wide
success, and is SO likely to take it's
place among the classics, as "Hans
Brinker; or The Silver Skates" by
Mrs. Mary Mapes Dodge. It has gone
through many editions in this country
and England, and has been transla
tedinto Dutch, Russian, German,
ltaAan, and French-the French
translation having received prize of
fifteen hundred francs at the French
academy. Mrs. Dodge, who, in
editing St. Nicholas, has still more
firmly established her popularity in
the hearts of American children, has
of late been engaged upon new
story,-the first since "Hans Brink,
er,"-which will appear in st. Mich
olas for the coming year. It is ems
titled ''Donald and Dorothy" and,
like its predecessor, it deals with live
boys and girls, but this time America,
not Holland, is the scene of action.
The story opens in the Christmas st.
Nicholas, with a chapter sin which
none Of the characters appear"

ing aloft hoe for an oar, and was soon
steering her little craft right gallantly.
A few moments more found her in pre-
carious position, however. 1t was evil
dent that she could not long retain her
balance upon this rolling barqne, in
spite of skilful manGuvring with the
nondescript oar. Suddenly, the old log
capsizetl, and she tumbled gracefully ()
waist-deep, into the water. Not at all
disconnected, she smilingly told US that
as she was already wet, she intended
to enjoy the water awhile longer. 50
after houndering about few minutes,
she finall, consented to be rescued from
the silent depths of the harmless stream,
as dripping and forlorll-looking maiden
as yon can well imagine. Our naiad,
nothing daunted, obstinately insisted
upon remaining, to enjoy the. remainder
of the days sport, instead Of going ODE
dicntly home to change her wet clothes.
1t was an unanswerable query, how she
could have derived pleasure from even
the most fertile source in so: humid a
state, but de gustibus non estdisp"tand"m
Fortunately, fcolds are rare in this eli
mate, and she did not suffer any dis
agreeable effects of the unique bath.

Looking At her with sleepy blue eyes;

And the house dog was lying upon the door

And the funniest pranks that small Maps

In q moment they managed to play.

From his head 1erked the Ferchief of silk j;
And they flmbied his wife from her stool

DEAR AUNT CHAT:
have been thinking lately that we

treat ought to be quite angelic in all our
tastes and tendencies and altogether
free from guile. Why' you ask. Well,
ifyon were to peep in upon us sometime
you would not hesitate long in the con-
viction concerning our utter rennncia-
ton Of the pomps and vanties of this
wicked world. An absolute indifference
to that "outward adorning of plating
the hair. and wearing Of gold, or putting
Oh Of costly apparel" characterizes the
whole party, and we only consult the
mirror When we especially desire to
wearour.collars straight, or arrange dis
heyeled locks. One lady brought two
Saratoga trunks xeplete with costumes.

The Moonshiners-ssPoor. Honest and

 CONVICTION, April 1.-Eleven of the moon sinners from Rowan county, Ky, recently arrested and charged with resisting the gov ernment officers are in jail here. Their names are Henry Ghent, Robert Ghent, John Foster, James Thomas, William R. Coombs, J. w. Mann, E. W. Cassidy, Samuel Foster, D. B. Smedley Eugene Brown and Fielding Thomas In an interview they admitted their guilt in making crooked whiskey, and said that about the whole population in their region were engaged in the same way. They sell the article for about forty cents gallon. They are poorly clad, generally dressed in jeans with shirts tlAA look like wheat sacks with hole cut through them. Some have boots, others shoes that show their bare feet No such thing as a collar hides their neck with the exception of Q dirty, greasy coat collar. They all appear to be honest and some of them never saw steamboat or rail- road before. They deny the story told by the officers of the resistance of the moon sinners and the fight which followed Said one Of them: ''Oh that is the story of the officers put up to make them appear gritty and brave, and as for cannon there hain't one of them ere things in Rowan, fletcher or Grayson counties. If there was, you d never see United States officers in them ere re- gions."

Deluged Ma Mandon-Overrun with Thieves
 All the Live Stock KiIled-The Town
 One Solid Sheet of Ice.
 BISMARCK, April LA citizen of. Mandon who reached here to-day says there has been much suffering, but no loss of life so far as known. There is great scarcity of provi- sions. Every COW, ,pig and chicken has been killed and provisions on the train consumed The water has receded three feet, leaving six feet of solid ice in the streets all over Man don. In fact 1t is one vast field of ice all the way from the river bank to Mandon, dis tance of three miles. The ice cannot melt before June- Seventy-five persons are lodg- ed in the church and the rest in other build ings on the side of the bluffs There is no estimate of the loss, but it will be at least $50, GOO. The town is a dirty looking place. The people now are able to get about on the ice. The town is full of thieves, who are breaking open trunks and stealing valu- ables. The storekeepers give the people full permission to take provisions from the stores. The people will probably be able to enter their houses tomorrow to look the ruins over, and an effort will be made to reach the place with supplies.
