"While we are looking through the

make a sketch. Some tame sandhill
cranes, belonging to the curiosity-shop
man, were stalking around town. show

dainty morsels here and there, when
they espied Harry hard at work paint
ing. Now, these birds possess great
amount of curiosity, and the strange
position and actions Of our artist ex-
cited in them desire to see what the
funny human animal was doing. so
they both slyly approached him. The
foremost bird, the better to investigate
the matter, thrust his head quietly UNI
der the arm of our industrious, preoc-
cupied friend. As the latter looked
down TO select proper tint from his
palette, imagine his astonishment to
see red-topped. long-beaked head be-
tween him and his colors. Jumping
to his feet, Harry administered blow
with the panty side of his board,
which made a highly artistic landscape
of the birds head and set it cackling
with rage, tapping its wings and CALI

Heroes and Heroines of the Border.

In American history there are no more
interesting figures than the heroes and
heroines of the border Bold, dashing
adventurous and patriotic; loyal to friends,
to country and to the interests of society,
their work was singlarly effective in the
advancement of American civilization.
With seeming recklessness, their efforts
were in the interest of law and order. and
the people owe them debt of gratitude
they do not forget Their page in histo-
ry is as fascinating as it is honorable, and
there is peculiar pleasure in reading the
narrative of their wonderful exploits.
The times which produced these heroes
and hcroines mark period in American
history of absorbing interest alike TO old
and young. 1t is proper that it should be
50. These hardy pioneers coupled virtue
with courage, humanity and love of coun-
try with the stern duties of frontier life
and battle, and the example Of their lives
not only interests but strengthens our faith
and admiration in human courage and un-
selfish purpose.
In American pioneer history there are
three distinct eras marked as distinctly by
three geographical divisions; from the Al
legheny mountains to the Mississippi,
marking the first; from the Mississippi to
the Rocky mountains the second; Califor-
MIA and the Pacific slope the third. The
settlement Of. these vast region, developed
great leaders, whose achievements have
made them justly and widely famous.
They have warm place in the hearts of
the people, and prominent one in their
admiration. 1t is appropriate that these
achievements should be recorded, and we
note with pleasure the forthcoming of
new book, now ready, from the press of
N. D. Thompson & Co., publishers, New
York and St. Louis. Missouri, called:
Conquering the Wilderness, or New Pic
torial History of the Life and Times of the
Pioneer Heroes and Heroines of America.
1t is written by COL Frank Triplett, an
accomplished writer, whose literary quail
6cations and great experience on the 'front.'
iers are said to eminently fit him forso no.
bic task.
A special feature Of the book is its apt
and protuse illustration, embracing 220
superb engravings, illustrating incidents
and persons-the latter embracing nearly
100 lifelike portraits, of pioneer leaders,
never before given-men and women
which make it sort of picture gallery, as
we'll as book of thrilling narrative, that
will lend to the book charm and interest
not to be resisted. . ...
1t is sold by subscription, through can

nifty to agents to make money especially

French Naval Cats.

The most humble of civil function.
aries of the French Republic are the
naval cats. There are some hundreds OF
them, and their importance is duly rec
ognized by the State, which supports
them in such comfort and dignity as be-
fits their official position. The French
naval caS enters the service in his kit
tenhood, and spends the first year or
two of his active career on board man.
of-war, where he is berthed in the hold
and permitted to devour whatever he
can catch. Having thus passed through
apprenticeship, he is sent ashore and
quartered at one of the five naval ports
as terror to the rats ana mice that
swarm in the victualling yards and
store sheds. He is then entitled to an
allowance of five centimes day, and
this sum is regularly paid on his behalf
to the Director of Cats, who lays it out
in horsetlesh for the use of his forces.

The Butler machine at Springfield
ground out it's grist, not without some lit.
tie friction. The members Of the old
Massachusetts, democracy were conspic-
uously absent, and the convention was run
by Butler strikers of the French and Sim
mons type. There was some vigorous sal
tatory action against the cut and dried
programme Of the managers; but vigo
rous application of the previous question
carried it through. The enthusiasm Of
the delegates was confined to the nomina
ton of Butler himself. The rest of the
work was perfunctory. Frederick O.
Prince was nominated for lieutenant gov.
ernOr.

Judge Kidder is dead Though we
had been apprised for weeks of his failing
condition, and but the day before his de-
cease had received telegram warning us
Of his decreasing strength, the full reaiza-
tion was not felt until the morning paper
told in startling words that Jefferson P.
Kidder, Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court of the territory was dead. Yes,
dead Oh how the words struck to the
heart. The man, who for twenty years
has been the recipient of public trust and
tavors, filling with fidelity and ability the
posts of congressman and judge until his
name was almost household theme, and
always associated with the ideal of integri-
ty and mercy. AS a judge noted for his
patience, frmness and desire to do justice
to all parties, sometime almost inclined to
leiniency to a fault, and particularly where
the liberty of an offender was at stake,
his sentences invariably we're of the light
est, and never to the extreme where the
law gave him any discretion. His view
of the criminal was not so much to punish
to the limit, as to look for his reform, and
no appeal for mercy ever reached his ear
withot receiving candid and merciful
consideration. One OF his last official acts
in this line betrayed his tender heart
An aged mother came to the writer of this
article with an application to the governor
for the pardon of her son who was under
sentence for larceny committed while I'M
der the stupefaction of a protracted spree.
Being cognizant OF some palliating circum-
stances developed during the trial, and
believing his punishment already sufficient
the writer took the application to the
Judge and explained matters. He reach
ed for his pen, signed his name, saying
with tears in his eyes, LET us both sign
and give the boy back to his mother. !"
Too tender at times for an executive of
the cold letter of the law, it was his only
fault that the bar recognized, and that
was commendable instead of censurabe
No man will be missed more from public
in Dakota than him. The supreme court
has lost an able member, the bar a beloved
Judge, and the people an honest defender
of their rights.
Those who knew him personally will say
aught against his memory. Our official
association with him for nearly three years
has woven ties that death has sundered
with severity akin to that of parent.
We cannot now realize that he is gone.
A true and dear friend, generous to a
fault, his benevolent and kind deeds will
live in memory long after his place will be
; flied by others.
We dread the last sad rites some Of us
are to perform over his remains Sunday.
