The RECORD agrees with this, If 1t res

residing outside of the Territory who
come out, take claims, do little or no cub
tivation, hold the land merely for specu-
lation, and have no intention of comiilg
out to reside permanently. This classis
of course, drawback. But thcre is an,
other class which is Of an entirely differ
ent nature. We refer to the many Settle

absolutely compelled to be absent frofiss
their claims, sometimes for weeks, 10

provements. They have no other per.
manent place of abode, and their hope OF
prosperity lies in possessing, some day,
a comfortable home. Claim m-jumpers have.

Not that aggressive or heroic measures
would be for an Instant thought Of; but
social ostracism and the contempt and
dislike of neighbors is even harder to bear
than activity in opposition.

Thoy Will Settle Here.

Mr.. and Mrs. George Chapman, the
parents of the Messrs. Chapman and Mrs.
Kokcr, referred to in last weeks RECORD
as intending to stop here on their return
to Montana from visit to Iowa, arrived
at Williamsport Sunday, to spend a week
OF two with their children and grand
children. They will then resume the jour
ncy to their home in Montana, where Mr.
Chapman has stock and other interests.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Chapman are greatly
pleased with this region, and intend
coming here to reside as soon as their
business in Montana shall be settled. The
RECORD learns that Mr.. Chapman will
bring his herd of cattle with him when
lie returns. This is wise idea Nothing
better denotes the adaptability of En-
mons County to stock-raising purposes
than the fact that one can not buy an av-
erage COW here for less than $780, or a
week-old hcifer for less than $40. For
limited herds, with shelter in winter, this
county cannot be exccllod.

A Visiting Physician.,

DR.. Petit, the agreeable and popular
young Bismarck physician, visited Will
Transport last week and remained several
days The doctor has formed very ia
vorable opinion of Emmons County and
the residents thereof, which is heartily
returned. AS soon as superabundance
of lucrc shall have made high and luxu-
rious living common here, so that people
will be i'll once in a while, we understand
that DR.. Petit intends coming here to re-
side permanently. The doctor is inter-
ested in land in this neighborhood and,
when the time comes for his settlement
here, he will be cordially welcomed by
our people. DR.. Petit brought down a
stock of drugs, which will be left at the
office of Attorney Armstrong, and the doc
tor intends to make occasional trips to
Emmons County.

Mr.. McGarvey, of Bismarck, whose

Dominion government during the recent
rebellion went to Fargo to meet them on
their return. There he received n tele-

engaged to do railroad work on a Mani

There were also two lively showers Sat

crops of all kinds are in splendid condi-

or three rains now to carry grain through

P. S. Demus and L. E. Vaughn passed
through Williamsport last week. They
are making quite an extensive trip. From
their home they first went to EIlendalc
thence west to the Missouri River thence
north to Bismarck thence southcastward
in this direction. They had II team and
wagon, and said they were not looking
for land, but simply wanted "to see the
country"
MIR. Armstrong must have been born
under n lucky star. After returning
from trip to his farm, one day last
week, he discovered that he had lost his
pockctbook, containing $40. He went
back to the claim, over the road previ-
ously taken, and failed to find the missing
property but on his way home he found
the money. We don't remember ever hav.
ing lost purse containing $40. We are
very careful about letting $40 drop out of
OUR pocket.

Seriously HI.

Last Friday Henry Mittlestedter, the
sick boy, was removed from his brothers
house in the country to town. Mr.. Tapes
horse and spring wagon were secured, and
Attorney Armstrong and Mr.. William
Mittlestedter carried the invalid in his cot
from the house, carefully placed him in
the wagon, and quietly and slowly drove
to town. Henry will have much better
care here than would be possible out on
the claim. DR.. Petit visited and pre-
scribed for him. He is suffering from a
serious bowel complaint, and is very sick.

into the quicksands of the Little Missouri.

WE notice that some OF our exchanges
call it. ''Mouse" and others Moose
river. The latter seems to be the proper
name The former appellatlon, it is said,
came by mistake, in this wise: Early
English-speaking explorers called it the
Moose river, from the game of that spc-
cies found on its banks. Then came the
French vogageurs. Mistaking the sound
of "Moose' for Mouse they translated
the latter to "Souris," the word for
Mouse in their language. These were
followed again by American pioneers,
who translated "Souris'' to Mouse

a Paying Investment.

The Scientific American says trees in
crease rainfall, but prevent flood; they
mitigate the rigor of winter, and stop the
PROCESS and ferocity of storms, and,
though tree culture seems so slowly
remuneratlvc, some of our bcst-informed
agriculturists and economists look upon
tree planting as, in the end, among the
best paying of investments which owners
of land can make. Dickinson Press

were multiplied by ESTES generous
expenditure, while the rooms gradually
lost their bare, dismal look by addi-
lions of furniture and ornaments, while
flowers blossomed on barren spaces
and the farm itself was more fully
stocked, Essie was ever the same.
The same respectful love for Harry s
father, the same gentle shy woman,
modest as a violet Yet not the same
as the months sped by and the sorrow
of witlowhood lost something of its
keenest pain.
John Trowbridge wondered little
when the piano had filled its recess for
whole year, why Earnest Reynolds
was so much interested in an old mans
rheumatism. He had always been an
attentive physician and had never
neglected the father of his dear friend
Harry Trowbridge, but Of late he lin
gered long whenever he cs lied and
often dropped in unprofessionally.
Essie feared to know his step and
her shy eyes would brighten when she
heard it. Harry had told her of many
noble traits in the doctors character,
and in the village she had heard of his
gentle charities, his conscientious dis
charge Of every duty, his ennobling
influence where pain and the shadow
of death crossed his daily path.
Ever shyly distrustful Of herself, she
did not dream Of winning the Iowa of
this hero of her husbands boyhood,
this generous friend of the afflicted this
honored member of noble profession.
She had given her first love, true
and warm to Harry. But the daisies
had blossomed twice over Harry's
grave and the gentle heart was touched
by other influences. June roses were
blooming and Harry had been dead
two years when one evening Essie sat
at her piano, with her fingers calling
forth melody full of sweetness. 1t
was neither glad nor sad, and not so
foud but that John Trowbridge could
hear the voice of DIR. Reynolds, as
that gentleman spoke in deep, heart
felt tones.
When he had heard all the old man
said:
Go to Essie, Ernest, and tell her
the one wish of my heart will be grant
ed if, when | die, | leave her in the
happiness of such love as you bring to
her. 1t has been my great sorrow that
her short married life tied her to an
old man who was So poor companion
for her. l believe Harry himself would
bid you, God speed"
And Essie' when the love plea was
whispered, the message delivered, bent
her head to hide the happy tears.
"You will let me keep my promise
to Harry, Ernest? | could not desert
father now"
81 only ask to help you in your care
for him. My home shall be his. And
if he will sell the farm he will have an
income that will take away all sense OF
dependence, while we can still give
him love-
at seems so strange to think you
love mel Essie said, after they had
talked long.
Little one, l loved you before Harry
won you, but | starved my heart for
yours. Do you know what | have
worn there, Essie, for many long
month. See ?"
And while he loosed the ribbon and
put the diamond cross into her hand,
she learned for the first time the true
story of the purchase of that article OF
furniture, called at the farm ESTES

THINGS PEOPLE SHOULD NOT DO

Laugh at your own sayings.
Pick your teeth at the table.
Sit with your elbows 3lr the table.
Do all the dancing at your own COM
pany.
Make bleating noise as some dys-
peptics do.
Whistle in company, or drum on The
chairs or table.
Smack your lips and eat as fast as
you can raise up your knife.
Crane your neck in church to see
who is coming in or going out.
Stand in the church door and talk
to keep people waiting to get out.
NTake the middle of the walk and
elbow your neighbors off.
Keep the dish in which your neigh
Dor has sent you some delicacy.
Look a person over head to foot to
see what she has on
Gaze all over your neighbours room
to see what is in it.
Be always prating about what you
saw when "abroad"
Stand on the side walk and let others
walk around you.
Turn and look back at the person
you have just met.
Not let the person with whom YOU
are talking get in word edgeways.
Accept the hospitality of others and
the first time you have an opportunity
afterwards give them slight.
Borrow a book, an umbrella, or any,
thing from your neighbor, and not re-
turn 1T at the earliest opportunity.
Treat those with whom you are un-
friendly uncivilly at the house of your
mutual friends where you chance to
meet.
In passing along by houses twist
your neck around so as to look into
the windows, and perhaps catch fall
by not attending to your owl affairs.

MORE ASHES.
BY ROARING BELOW.
Only some pale, gray ashes.
That laid in the rusty pan.
Which the girl who washes the dishes
Had set for the big ash-man.
They are cold, and gray. and dead,
But my heart recalls with sigh,
The pile OF rolls and bread
Those ashes had baked-and the pie.
Only heap of ashes,
Which an italian stirs with ~ hook,
And seeks as he delves and fishes,
For something that's lost by the cook,
Fond hopes lie buried beneath,
Butthe foreigner viii reach II at last,
And the cook may grind her teeth
For the fish knife that's gone and past.
These ashes now, lifeless-gray,
Were red once 10 the stove
All. well remember the day,
And the stomach-ache nothing could move,
Faint and low the embers burned,
While was sent TO bed.
From pies and cake with sorrow turred
And physic took instead.

Gray and cold in The pam
Nevermore will their flashes,
Awake to moneys wand.
