THE tribute lately paid to Michael
Eugene Chevreul, the eminent French
chemist, by the Academy of Sciences
in Paris, is especially noticeable because
he is within almost a year of being a
centenarian. He has been president
of the National Agricultural society
for fifty years, and is the Oldest gradu-
ate of the Sorbonne. He remembers
the CHASTITY scenes of the reign of ter
ror when he was hardly 7-years old,
and never speaks of them without hor-
ror. Chevreul was admitted to the
Academy of Sciences in 1928, and sue
ceeded Vanquelin us professor OF ap'
plied chemistry in the Jardin des
Plantes in 1929. He attained great rep
reputation by his work on "Fat Substan
ces of Animal Origin six years be-
fore. This gained him in 1852 prize
of 12,Co0 francs. His famous treatise

THE RANCHMAN'S SONG.


In saddle or In camp at home,
fear not fortunes change;
My wealth the branded herds that roam
The green wastes OF my rangel
oh, who more independent, free,
And care-cxempt than II
Not he that sails upon the sea
Or scales the mountain high.
laugh and sing, give fancy wing,
And let the world go by
The hustle Of the run, the count,
The roundup, and the drive,
Is pastlme keen, II but the mount
BE mettled and alive.
Beted and spurred, devoid of fear,
To every risk resigned,
My cowboys at my beck career
As headlong as the wind!
Nor robber greed nor mad stampede
Can them unguarded find.
AT work or play, with care to cause
No honest heart pang,
And governed but by honor's laws,
On brOnchO or mustang.
oh, who with more undaunted brow
Doth fell adventure bidci
Not he that speeds the pen or plow
Or stems broad traffic tide.
In inanbood's flower the plains | scOur,
A ranchman true and tried!
Grim ward the mountain scntrics keep
Der my domain for me;
Far as the coursing gaze can sweep,
And rolling as the sea,
That cattledottcd realm expands
Whence far abroad is strcwd
Rich nOurishment for pcoplcd lands,
The boon of wholesome food,
Though mine the choice TO here rejoice
Amid the solitude.
The saddle is my throne the vast
Wild herds my yassals tried,
The lariars swift, uncrrng cast
My mandate undCiicd.
My spurs were won by stubborn deeds,
That nc'cr blush can bring,
Nor other right or sanction needs
The care-free Cattle King
And JOY brims up his stirrup-cup
In this the song sing!

How to Travel Comfortably.

David W. Judd, of the American
Agricui,WiSt who makes an annual
ten thousand mile tour through the
western states and territories, gives
the following suggestions in the
October Amcrtcdn IgricHitmia.-It is
poor economy TO curtail ones comforts
on the road. Better ecOnomize in
other directions, and treat yourself
generously while travelling. Do not
deprive yourself of regular meal
because, forsooth, it appears to you
that an cxhorbitant price is asked for
it. Irregularity in eatinl together
with the unaccustomed motion of
travel, will be very apt to get you out
of order physically. Then what
would otherwise be a pleasure that
is, sightseeing and and prospecting
becomes tedious; and wearied ply Sic
ally and mentally, you are fortunate if
you do not "get down sick" before a
long trip is completed. Always take
good nights rest, which cannot be
secured in a sitting posture. BE sure
and have the porter so make your
bed that your head will be in an op-
posite direction to the one in which
the train is going, or, to speak more
cxplicitly-sleep with your feet fore
most. Then YOU are less liable to
suffer from the currents of air which
creep in through the window-sills, or
blow in, if your double windows are
open. During war summer nights,
it is generally safe to leave the win
dow open for n short distance, at the
foot of your berth. The air thus adj
mitted blows in upon your oXtremities
and puriies the usually oppressive at
mosphere in a sleeping car. The
Pajama, night costume, recently
imported into this country from
Japan, is the most excellent outfit
for night travel. 1t consists of loose
wooden jacket, or shirt, and loose
wooden drawers or pants, both of
which can be purchased at dry-goods
stores in large cities, or can be readily
made at home after one has seen pat
tern. Wo have found them most COM
Portable and useful during thousands
of miles Of travel for two years past
as a protection against cold from with
out, and from the cold which follows
perspiration within, occasioned by a
hot atmosphere. Before retiring, al
ways ask the porter to see that the
sleeper is well ventilated. At the
same time taking care to observe that
the admitted air does not blow upon
your section. The ventilators at both
ends of the sleeping car should be
kept open as most conducive to the
health and comfort Of the sleeping pas
sengers. See to this before retiring.

Again she stood at the threshold;
but, ah, how different was it all nowP
The bright shimmcring satin was no
longer there, the sOmbrc weeds of
widowhood had taken its place.
1t was more than six months since
her darling had been called home, but
the sad, haunting shadow of despair
was still lurking in Beryl's eyes.
On this summer evening, as she
stood watching her two little children
playing.up and down the broad gray
clled sweep of st. Cuthbert's, their
white frocks, with the black ribbon
ties and sashes, recalled it all SO
freshly.
How could she live on like this
live this weary, wretched life without
his loving, tender care? WhithersO-
ever she turned, whatever she did, she
missed Philip.
And, as she listened to the sweet
summer sounds, the hum of bees and
song of birds and the cuckoo's plain
tive murmur coming with mufllcd note
from some neighboring copse, she
wondered how all went on just rs if he
were there still.
The sun had set, but faint glow Of
rosy light still fingered behind the
western hills, and above that the sky
was of tender green that melted
into soft summer evening gray, with
here and there brighter hue, like the
llecks of color in an opal, and the wind
came in softly at the old doors and
windows.
The stars began pecping forth one
by one, trembling and faint, brighten
ing as the cleaning dcepened, and as
Bcryl gazed, strange, sweet peace
came for the first time to her sore, re.
bellious heart.
st. Cuthbert's again, and summer
time. The old place looked grayel
and more ivy-grown than of yore
And well it might, for eighteen years
had come and gone since that soft
summer twilight when the heart Of
Berly, Lady L'Estrange; had been
almost broken.
She sat now on one of the rustic seats
in the rosc-garden of the old place, a
tall, fair, middle-aged woman, with a
sweet, sad face, and masses of golden
wavy hair caught back beneath her
widows cap.
A fair young girl sat at her feet, with
mass of hothouse and garden flowers
lying around her, which she was weav-
ing and winding with delicate artistic
skill into wreathes and bouquets.
She had the same golden wavy hair
and dark shadowy eyes as her mother,
and as she now and then glanced up
into her face, calling on her, with a
merry smile, to work faster, one could

every one seemed to have n present.
mcnt that the wort had happened on
this occasion, for they pulled up almost
to n man, needless of what became of
the hounds.
Poor FREELY was stonc-dcad, with
the bright glossy neck doubled in un-

white.
With great trouble they drew him
gently from under the dead mare and
dashed some water IN his face. He
opened his eyes slowly and seemed to
recognize them all and looked up into
the face Of the huntsman who was sup
porting him.
"Ah, Harry" he said, "you always
would have it went too fast at tim
ber. But the mare sulked Bit
think that did it"
His voice was SO weak that they
could hardly hear as he muttcred,
with long-drawn gasps between each
word, "Beryl! DOn'ttcll her.
They raised him tenderly and carri-
ed him to the home that he had left in
the bloom of health SO short time be-
fore. When passing the dead mare he
asked them TO stop, and reaching out
his hand caressed the poor bent neck.
"PoOr old mare" he murmured

He did not speak again until they
reached the avenue gates of his own
grand old home, then he gasped out:
"Oh, Heaven, what will Bcryl do?'
Sir Horace Rockfort, the master of
the hounds, was holding his hand and
quietly pressed it.
Your mother knows, Philip. She
will tell her, my poor boy"
Tears came into Sir HOrace's eyes as
he looked down on the noble form he
feared might never rise again He had
known Philip L'EStrangc from boy
hood and loved him as his own son.
The aged lady met them at the door
step. 1t was pitiful to see the blanchcd
face and trembling hands of the poor
mother.

Their skill could be of no avail, for
Philips back was broken and in few
hours he you'd be no more.
When Bcryl awokc from her swoon
she insisted on going to Philips room.
She was quite calm now, and said that
no one else should nurse her husband;
she would be quite quiet and good if
they would let her in.

THE DAKOTA CONVENTION.
The Resolutions Adopted by the Re-
publicans at Huron.
ANOTHER REPORT.

HURON, D. t., April 24-The convention
re-asselnbled last night at 7:30 p. M, but
owing.to the report of the committee on
credentials business was not resumed before
10 O'Clock. After the matter of contesting
delegations had been disposed of; which did
not occur until late this morning
the committee on permanent organization
reported and by two-thirds majority of the
committee the minority report of the COM
mittee was adopted, which gave the chairman
ship of the permanent organization to Col
Plummer, of Fargo. Owing to the lateness
of the hour the chairman did not make a
lengthy speech but stoutly advocated
instructions for Blaine.
The Hon. George H. Hand presented the
following resolution:
WHEREAS, the territory of Dakota has been
organized for more than twenty-three years
and
WHEREAS, the territory has now more
than three hundred and fifty thousand
actual settlers within its borders, embracing
an area more than 100000 square miles and
is possessed of all the resources necessary
to form two great states, therefore
Z Rsso'aed, That we hereby urge our dele
gate to the Republican convention at Chica
go and our delegate in congress to use all
honorable means to secure this end
Eddy offered the following resolutions,
which were adopted with three cheers:
Resoloed, That the delegates this day elected
to represent the Republican party of Dakota
in the coming national Republican conven-
ton to be held at Chicago on the Sd day of
June, 1884, together with the alternates

THE proceedings of the so-called Demo-
cratic primary meeting in the First precinct
of the First ward, last night, were of a char
acter to disgrace the party and the city, pro-
vided they are not promptly repudiated
Such gang as gathered there to
put an Iowa saloon keeper, of only a
few months residence in st. Paul in the city
council, do not represent the Democratic
party. They do not represent any one but
themselves. They represent only the lawless
classes, and we very much mistake the com
plexion Of that precinct if there are
not reputable people enough to over
whelm them at the polls The question of
Col. Aliens candidacy or election
is very minor matter compared with
the question whether such gang is to gain
a foothold in ST. Paul So far as the GLOBE
can speak for the Democrats of ST. Paul it
repudiates and denounces that primary meet
ing and calls upon the people of that
precinct, irrespective Of party, to repudiate it
at the polls on the Gth day of May The good
name and the good order, the financial pros
perity and the future growth OF the city all
demand the rebuBe of the shoulder hitters who

ing ticket:

there was no contest and only one ticket.
There was no name for school inspector

tering votes for that Office were cast, it is IN
