What's a Dudep

!"
A New York Interview with One.
"What Is q dude2"
"a dude" answered the youth slow
ly, Ills a gentleman. A cad can
be q dude. He must not be In trade,
but must have money. ! dare say
there are dudes who have very little
money, but they have blood, y'know.
But the point of the thing Is the en-
bodiment-er-of the-ah-triumph
of the gentleman over the cad. You
take what was once known az q swell,
or a flop, or o dandy, and 1t was never
absolutely necessary for him to be q
gentleman The pet, particular god
of swelidom was Beau Brummel, don't
chew know. and yet he was not q gem
tlemsn socording to our English accep-
tation OF the term. Still, he snubbed
the prince of Wales"
"Would he not have been quite as
effective az q dude2"
"By no MEANS" said the youth
hastily, "Don't chew see2 He was
gorgeous aid overdressed, while-we
-er that Is, the dude-is the acme of
propriety and good taste. He wore
loud c%olors, padded shoulders, corsets,
wigs, snuff box, andunlimited jewelry,
while the dude wears no jewelry other
than a ring, and invariably dresses In
dark and quiet colors."
els there any fun In being q dude2'
"To the vulgaw a dude is not I'm.
pressive. The gorgeous swell took the
eye. The women worshiped him for
the richness of his dresu and the
waitahs In the eating houses were
overpowere6; but the dude Is essen.

dudes, y'know. A fellah dressed
properly and walking quietly on th'
Strand or In Pell Nell Is known sim

when he appears In the same attire OF

There is some gall in the make up Of
the Bismarck Tribune, judging by the
following emanation:
The constitution, so.called, was pre-.
pared by few self elected delegates to
a convention which was manipulated by
half dozen corporation attorneys and
scheming politicians seeking for self
glorlfcation and political honors.
Premeditated lying, with malice afore-
thought. The delegates to the conven.
tiou were elected by the votes of south.
ern Dakota at the regular election of
November 9th and their election certi-
fed by the proper authorities. They
were the choice of tho people and the
people have ratified their work in q most
convincing manner. Tue convention was
manipulated by no set of men, the one
or two attempts in that direction being
speedily suppressed. The convention
was the ablest representative gathering
ever held in Dakota. one conspicuous
feature being the absence of the trading
gang from the north which has done SO
much in the past to disgrace Dakota
politics. For some unknown reason the
Bismarck Tribune proposes to deny the
privilege Of self-government to southern
and to keep it in u pt tsition where it will
be compelled to pay the taxes of o cor.
rnpt organization of public spendthrifts
who now have practical control of public
funds. There will be an uprising one Of
these days against this dictatorial spiri,
and when it comes the south will be
heard from in no uncertain terms.

What the Boys Found Under the Rock

Il m going to try EN-" said Grand.
pa Gray; and his eyes twinkled Grand
pa Grays eyes were always twinkling.
He meant his three small grandsons,
Hal and Herbie and Had.
So. at dinner grandpa said to grand
ma:
81 wish had time to take that rock
out of the yard there. It's real eye
sore to me-
Cant we, grandpa?" asked the
boys.
'.WelI-yes, if you want to- said he !;
land IN be much obliged to you
So directly after dinner they set to
work. 1t didn't look like very large
rock. But it was good deal larger
than it looked, really
''Pooh!" said Herbie; '1'll take it
out in no timer and he got stout
stick and tried to pry up the rock. But
the stick broke and Herbie got fall,
from which he jumped up red and
angry.
'.Mean old tbingr said he; and he
put his hands in his pockets and
watched Hal and Had tug at it until
their faces were red, too.
Then the three of them lifted togeth-
err; but it wasn't mite of use.
Lets get the hoe!" said Had.
''And the littlest crowbarr' said
Hal.
"And the shovelr' said Herbie.
So Had hoed around it and Herbie
shoveled and Hal pushed the crowbar
under the rock, and bore down on it
with all his might. The afternoon was
very warm, and the three little scarlet
faces needed great deal of hopping.
But the boys wouldn't give it up.
''Poor little fellows!' said grandma,
looking out through the vines.
But just then great shout announced
that the work was done; and there.
there where the rock had lain were
four silver dimes; one apiece and one
for luck.
"Hurrah for grandpar' cheered the
boys; and at that very minute grandpa
walked out of the house.
pretty well doner' said he. giving
each little head pat as he came to it.
y-well-doner'
And now the boys are anxious to dig
ous another rock; but grandpa thinks
may be silver dimes won't grow under

Old Meadows.

a correspondent has meadow which
produces about ton of hay per acre
1t has been down eight years, and tn,
clover and timothy have died out, anC
their place is occupied with June grass
He asks whether top-dressing with barn
yard manure, and reseeding will bring
it to bear good crops.
Top-dressing would improve it very
much, but it would, doubtless, pay bet
ter to break it up and reseed fully. Il
would not be advisable to break it up
this spring, as the tenacious roots of the
June grass would not be likely to get
thoroughly rotted during one summer
if, indeed, they were all killed. II
would be better to NOW it this year and
break it up in the fall, and next year
fallow it, blowing and cultivating il
often, selecting the driest weather to do
the work. This will kill and rot the
June grass roots, and enrich the ground
for new service. The seeding will best
be done about the middle of August, or
as soon as the summer drouth is about
over. The loss of a grain crop, while
preparing to reseed, will be more than
paid for in the improved condition OF
the soil. Ground which has laid long
to grass becomes exhausted of available
fertility, and needs thoroughly stirring
and aerating to facilitate the solution of
the undissolved plant food, which lies
dormant in the soil, unavailable and
useless, till made soluble by exposure
TO the air. 1t is not good policy to let
either pasture OF meadow lie too long
without breaking up and pulverizing
the earth anew. Modern science, and
the best practice, agree in maintaining
that the quickest and cheapest way tc
enrich most soils is to thoroughly cult
vate and stir them, to hasten the de.
composition of mineral matters which
serve as plant food. What may thus
be gained by following and the rotting
of the grass roots, will put the meadow
in question in splendid condition for
crops for series of years. We would
advise keeping this fact in mind while
working the SOIL
Ashes, leached or unleached, make
an excellent fertilizer for either meadow
or pasture if sown upon ground which
is naturally dry. They are as valuable
for the grain-grower as the dairyman.
Leached ashes by the load are worth
about twice as much as barn-yard
MANURE, and unleached twenty-five
cents bushel. The immediate effect
of ashes is not equal to that of manure,
but it continues much longer. Coal
ashes are chiefly useful for their me-
chanical effect in loosening a compact
soil. National Lire Stock Journal.
