"Of course, theaytres and circuses

Sam. He's a big, strong jack-that is,

too often and got took in finally. Sam
made his livin' furnishing fun for the
boys. He would draw q chalk line on
the floor, get down in front of it on all
tours, and for ten cents let any man
take a big bag of sand and crack him
n from behind. If the striker
knocked Sam over the line he got his
money back. Well, this sport went
along several months, until one day a
wicked-looking stranger comes to town.
He saw Sam taking in the dimes in the
hotel bar-room, where the stranger was
apretty good customer himself already.

said he guessed one would be enough.
Sam got down on all tours. The strang-

Topped his head down and grinned be-
tween his legs at the striker. The
sandbag is raised high in the air, the
wicked-looking stranger looks wickeder

powerful frame and arms all of sudden.

Sketch Of Judge Francis.

Bismarck Tribune:-Judge Francis, lately
appointed Judge in Dakota, was born in South
Norwalk, Connecticut, in1S39, and is forty-five
years of age. He became q citizen of Newark,
New Jersey, in 1862 and was admitted to
the bar of that city in 1865, and practiced in
all the courts of that State until 1882, when he
was unexpectedly made receiver of this land
ofice-a lucrative position but not congenial
to his tastes. He was city solicitor of Newark
for four years, making q fine record In 1879
he was elected state senator. In that body
he was a distinguished worker, serving
his last session as chairman of
the judiciary committee. During the
whole of his term as state senator he was
chairman of the joint caucus, special commit
tee OF the house which had charge and control
of all bills, political in their nature, or involv-
ing state appropriations and expenditures. In
May, 1881, he was one of the four officials ap-
pointed to represent the state of New Jersey at
the unyeiling of the monument at Spartanburg,
South Carolina, to commemorate the Tooth an
niversary of the battle of the Cowpens, and on
that occasion delivered the GRAFTON on behalf
of the states of New York, Pennsylvania, New
Jersey and Delaware.

Further Details of the Dakota Storm.

The Deadwood Pioneer gives the following
additional details of the storm Of last Thurs
day: Thu hailstones that fell were some of
them two inches ~across-chunks of ice that oc-
casioned great pain to the hands and heads
that were struck by them. Hogs and chickens
were killed Unfortunately, and the growing
crops cut all to pieces. There was little rain
fell with the hail It hailed but a few mo-
ments, but during that time the air was filled
lowed by a cloud burst rather than a rain storm.
The water came down in solid sheets, and ten
minutes after it began falling small gullies and
ravines would swim a horse. The rain extended
all over this portion of the country, while
the hail was but a narrow strip in comparison;
but in its narrow course he thinks it utterly
destroyed everything of the crop kind. Pine
lumber was taken up by the cyclone and car
ried off like feathers. Boughs and limbs of
trees are scattered all over the valley. Between
Crook City and Sinclair's ranch two houses,
belonging to Henry Williams and Tom Moore,
were taken up by the cyclone and torn into
splinters, not a board left of either eff them.
About Butte City it hailed as fast as it was
them were chunks Of ice as big as a mans fist.
Sheep, hogs and chickens were killed, as also
calves, by the hail From st. Onge's store
down to the crossing all the crops were de-
stroyed; nothing left. In Centennial prairie
great damage was done. Anderson, the milk
man lost everything by the wind and hail

Ex-MayorP owderly of Scranton, Pa,
says he never believed such degradation
possible as he has just witnessed in the
Connellsville coke region of Pennsyl-
vania among the Hungarians. At one
Of the ovens he saw q woman half naked
drawing the hot coke from the chamber.
She had no covering on her head and
very little on her person. Her appear
ance was that of one whose spirit had
been broken by hardship and hard work
Her attire consisted of q coarse chemise
and a pair ofcowhide boots. In q freight
car close by stood another woman stow
ing the coke as it came to the car. She
stood in the doorway and was dressed
in a rough, loose.ftting outer garment
and an apron. Her person from the
waist up was exposed. Her feet were
encased IN q pair Of heavy shoes, and
her legs were exposed from the knee
down. Other scenes were worse than
these. These women are not employed
by the corporations, but assist their
husbands and fathers in their labor.

Corn In Dakota.

Rural New Yorker: Will corn ripen in South
eastern Dakota? Is a question often asked,
but not very satisfactorily answered. The
truth must be told; the crop has hitherto had
but Indifferent success. There are, however,
reasons why it has been so. The greater num-
Der of those who have tried it have done so on
the sod, Immediately after breaking. Now that
is not giving it a fair chance, as any crop on
the sod is at bestbut q poor one. Even wheat,
the plant that grows best in Dakota, does but
poorly when so treated. In the older settled
parts 1 have seen it grown on old ground, and
1 question very much whether it would not
S in Mienesd 5av0ra MiycDiys with or any w;sc grown
unsuccessful is the fact that the right kind of
seedhas not been used. Nearly every one who
comes here brings with him some seed which
is sure to ripen in Dakota. All imagine they
have got a good thing, and keep the name a
out an ignominious failure, aud then they ex-
claim, "Why-I was sure that would ripen-
that was Canada Smut" or some other sort.
If people would give up their own pet corn,
and procure seed grown in the state, plant it
on old ground and cultivate it, 1 would have
no fear of the result This was my first sea-
son here, 80 my personal experience is rather
limited. l did try some half dozen kinds of
corn on the sod. What did best with me was
q white dent, the seed of which I brought from
Wisconsin. I was told here it was not worth
planting, as it would be too late in ripen-
ing; but I was determined to plant it,
and it turned out just the reverse of what they
predicted. / also had Sibley's Pride of the
north, which was much pulled all over the
northwest. With me if was q failure, as was
also q yellow dent from Nebraska and a white
dent from Northern Iowa. Two varieties of
flint, the seed of which was raised here, did
well, but the prairie squirrels were very Sc
ments, and from the experience of older set
tiers, 1 have no doubt IN early eight-rowed
yellow corn is the proper kind for this section,
next to which 1 should take an early white
dent Either of these, put i'll on old soil and
with as much certainty as in any Of the adj
joining states.

Perhaps those who want to go to Eu-
rope without crossing tho ocean may
some day have their wishes gratifed.
A correspondent says it is proposed that
q railroad shall be constructed along
the Pacific coast to the extremity of AL
aska, where a ferriage would connect
the tourist with the Russian rail-
way system, which would be extended
to the Siberian side of Behring's strait.
AS the strait is only As miles wide be-
tween East Cape and Cape Prince Of
Wales, the distance in a swift steamer
would be trifing even for the victims
ofsea-sickness. Parlor cars transferred
to the steamers might practically give
an overland route from New York to
st. Petersburg without change.

For more than five years past a member of
my family has been afflicted with Hay Fever,
culminstin late in the fall with a hacking
cough, which would increase in severity until
the return of warm weather. Every remedy
proved futile, and relief was only found in a
change of climate. There was a recurrence
of the difficulty last fall, attended with the us
ual cough and violent protracted sneezing.
Not half a bottle of Papillion Oatarrh Cure had
been used before the cough entirely disap-
peared, and general relief followed. 1t is

The traveller needs acids and nerve
stimulants much more than quantities
of heavy food; and there is no sense in
eating a heavy meal with a digestion all
shaken and demoralized with Earrings
and fatigue. A flask of claret and bis
cults, the appetizing form known as
"fruit" biscuits, is better than "squarer"
meals. If a lunch-basket is taken, q
bottle of cold tea with milk and sugar,
OF coffee ditto, provided that the coffee
is good, will be found most refreshing.

The effect that the disappearance of

The effect that the disappearance of
forests has upon climate receives fresh
illustration almost every day. In Italy
the clearing of the Apennines is be-
lieyed to have seriously changed the
climate of the Pc valley, and now the
African s%irocco, never known to the
armies of ancient Rome, breathes its
hot, blithing breath over the right bank
of the river in the territory of Parma.
The removal CT the pine forests near
Ravenna induced the same desolating
wind; and the same destruction of the
old forests of Vosges and of the &C.
venues has had like deteriorating in
fuences upon the climate. In Egypt,
where, during the French occupation in
1898, not a drop of rain fell for sixteen
months, and where from time immem-
orial the country has been a rainless bed
of sand, Mohammed Ali, by planting
his millions of fig and orange trees, has
,een his country blessed with an annual
'ainfall of several inches.
