'ome poets are worse than others.


Related to the poet is the man who writes
prose contribution to the newspaper. He
uses nom de plume, and writes over the
signature of'Juno," ''Yeoman,'' "a German"
and ''Yeritas.'' TAX Payer is general
favorite with writer's of this class. Every
well-regulated office keeps that signature
standing. The prose writer wishes to remain
unknown in the premises. IT rejected at our
paper he goes to another. A man is on record
as having gone to Minneapolis after being
refused by the St. Paul papers. Once in
print, he gets several copies, marks his con-
tribution with blue lead pencil and sends
papers to all friends and acquaintances In
this way the Minneapolis papers get quite a
circulation.
In short time he calls on all his friends
and asks them if they have read his article.
He likewise assures them that the article has
caused the greatest excitement and talk. He
further insinuates that it is generally known
that he has written it, his nom de plume fall
ing to screen his identity and original style
of expression.
He has more sense later.

CAROLANsS HARP.

At the Irish musical festival held
in Steinway hall, New York, last Monday
evening, the most attractive feature of the
entertainment was the harp once owned by
CARoLAN the Blind. the last and most
famous of the Irish bards. The harp was
presented to CARoLAN in 1850 by a wealthy
Irish lady, who was charmed with the
genius of the blind boy, and also making
him present of ahorse and an attendant
she started him out into the world as pro-
fessional musician. Owing to the fact that
his songs were composed in Irish, most of
them have been lost. Among the few that
have been rescued from oblivion is 1.-The
Last Rose of Summer" and few other
exquisite airs, to which MOORE wrote his
most famous Irish melodies. Like many
another child of musical and poetical genius
CARoLAN had weakness for the flowing
bowl and believed with HORACE that the
poetry of water-drinkers never acquired
permanent celebrity.

SMALLER BUT HhALrHIER.

The entire Northwest is interested in the
settling up of Dakota, inasmuch as the de-
velopment of that territory means an extern
sion OF the markets to meet larger and
more varied demand, and at the same
time wider demand for those markets to
satisfy. Therefore, while Dakota may be
vitality concerned, the Northwest in general
is interested in the amount and character
OF each years immigration. While the
number of immigrants coming during the
present spring may not have reached the
proportions which those enthusiastic agents
whose daily bread is earned by painting the
attractions Of the Northwest may have an
anticipated, there is, nevertheless, cause for
congratulatiOn of the heartiest character.
There may be fewer people look
ing for new homes in the North
West. but they are persons whose presence
is, as whole, more than usually desirable.
Hitherto the flood of immigration which
has astounded the country has been made
up OF some not altogether satisfactory ele-
ments. People, almost penniless, some of
them with little disposition to undergo the
hardships incident to founding home and
wrestling livelihood in a new country,
have rushed into the Northwest in swarms.
Naturally they have found their fond
dreams OF easily-acquired wealth not real
lied. If made of the right kind of
material they have become hard working
and valuable citizens, but more frequently
they have either become charges upon what
ever community may have had the misfor-
tune to be selected by them, or else have
returned to their former homes with
untruthful stories of Dakotas attrac-
tiveness. The people who are going into
Dakota this session from Yankton to
Devils Lake and from Fargo to Dickinson
are OF totally different class. They are
as a general thing from other sections of
the country and from either previous per-
sonal inspection or from reliable informa-
ton know what to expect. They are gen.
orally possessed of some means, without
which the location anew in different por-
ton of the country is indeed difficult task.
They emigrate, therefore intelIigently, with
a full knowledge of all the advantages and
disadvantages which lie before them. This
is the kind of people whose value to
Dakota can not be over-estimated. 1t is the
kind of immigration which should be en-
couraged by all means possible. Though it
may not be as large as that of former years,
it is healthier.

A BANK ER,S WOE.
THE ONLoOKER.

At the recent dinner of the Boston Bank
Officers association Mr.. Bell read the SUBJ
Joined paraphrase Of Ko-Ko's song:
AS it very rarely happens that our grievances
are shown,
I've made little ist-I've made little
list
Of commonplace offenders who as every bank
has known,
Would none of them be miSSed-they d none
of 'em be missed
There's the man who thinks you open quar-
ter after eight.
And the woman VIII o invariably comes half an
hour too late,
Repeating still the statement, made dozen
times or more,
That she thought the banks of Boston all
kept open until four.
Oh, it's very wrong to wish that such from
breathing would desist,
But they would not be missed--they never
would be missed!
There's the down east lumber dealer, with a
check on Tennessee;
For payment he'll persist-Pye got him on
the list;
And the lady who's 'Insulted' when you ask
Identity
I don't think they'd be missed-I'm sure
she'd not be missed.
There's the bore who wants to tell you how
the silver men will vote,
And the man who asks the discount of q
twenty-dollar note,
And the ''giddy girl from Chelsea or from
Newton Lower Mills,
Who tries to mash the teller when she
wants the newest bills.
And the would-be speculator, who for
points will still insist
He never would be missed-I know he'd not
be missed.
Then the 'little short to-day man, whose
check you would not pay,
He swears the bank is wrong-Ive got him
on the list
The men who always grudge US each extra
holiday,
They never would be missed-you bet
they'd not be missed,
The idiots that roam about from. porter to
cashier,
And leave roll of silver there, q pile of
greenbacks here;
The men who want to catch train, and a,
your slowness pout,
And he who interrupts your work to crack
some chestnut" out;
With hundred other nuisances I have no
time to list
But oh, they'd not be missed-they'd none OF
'em be missed.

TREE CULTURE.

The department of agriculture, in it's
forestry division, has prepared a schedule
for the observations of treelife, and accom-
panying it, of weather conditions, for the
purpose of aiding an interest in forestry
work. Everybody interested in tree Gull
ture is invited to apply to the department
for these blanks, as the forestry division is
anxious that these observations should be
noted by very large number of persons. The
objects of the department are, first, to note
progress of local developments in tree life
for the purpose of charging knowledge of
biological conditions; second, to arrive at
conclusions as to relative climatic condi-
tons as expressed by phases of plantede-
velopment; third, to determine period of
vegetation of different species; fourth, to
ascertain the relative dependence of diff
ferent species on climatic conditions. deter
mining relatively time for planting; and,
fifth, to enable comparison of behavior of
same species under climatic conditions of
different localities. thus allowing prelim-
mary estimates of capacity of the species
for acclimation. The season is too far
advanced to obtain all the points required
this year. yet the department gives assur-
allce that even partial reports will be
acceptable. AS this is matter of special
interest to our Dakota friends, we would
urge them to avail themselves of the oppor-
tunity to aid the agricultural department in
matter of so much importance to their
territory

GORGEOUS GOWNS.
Fashionable Fancies of Chicago's
Social Queens.

Social Queens.
A gown of this description, which a
charming young wife of tall figure small,
round waist, glossy black hair and Irish
blue eyes," wore recently when entertain
ing dozen lady friends, was of pink satin
merveilleux, says the Chicago News. The
front OF the skirt was pleated lengthwise.
The train was finished with narrow
double pleating of faint blue and pale gold
MORE. Down each side were panels of
ValencienneS lace.
The lower parts of the panels were
pointed and adorned with bows of blue and
gold MORE. The polonaise was of Valen-
clennes, long and deliberately draped at the
back and open in front to show the skirt,
and vest of blue MORE. The vest also
was open. edged with gold MORE and fast
ened to Valenciennes chemisette.
Down either side of the vest were tiny
blue pearl buttons. The neck was finished
with full ruching of lace, closed in front
under bow of the gold color.
Another, in which the wife of a pronlin-
ent board of trade man appeared was
made OF silver gray plush and se-cOlored
brocade. The back, made with broad
Vatican pleat, was of the plush, the train
being simply finished with a heavy gray
cord. The rOse-colOrede rich brocade which
composed the front of the skirt was left
without garnitnre. except at the bottom.
which was edged with three full pleatings
of cream-hued lace.
The front of the waist was open to dis
play a vest of cream colored lace and
gray satin, fastened with large buttons,
each OF which was pink caHeo set in gold.

NATURAL GAS AND DAKOTA.

In region which experience has demon
strated to be capable Of developing so many
wonderful things, where every day serves
to show more clearly the far-reaching pos
sibilities and varied extent of the territory's
natural resources, the report of any new dis
covery in Dakota is worthy, if not of credul-
ity, at least judicious examination. For
this reason the statement that evidence
has been found of the existence of
natural gas in the vicinity of Fargo
deserves serious consideration. 1t goes
without saying that in country COM
paratively devoid of satisfactory fuel and
far from fuel producing centers. the discov-
cry Of natural gas would be tremendous
factor in the speedy advancement of the
territory's material prosperity. Nor should
the idea that natural gas may be found in
Dakota be cast lightly aside 1t is quite
within the bounds of possibility that the
gas does exist, and in quantities
sufficient to render experimental bor-
Ing advisable. The same conditions
which exist in Pennsylvania may not be
found in Dakota, but it is not absolutely
determined that those particular conditions
are always essential to the existence of the
gas. Though the rock-ribbed ranges of
hills and mountains are not to be found in
Dakota as in the Eastern state. the same
carboniferous formation is pretty generally
distributed. Where this is to be found
there is the possibility that in natures
laboratory it may have been utilized in the
formation OF gas. 1t is this possibility
which should be either proven without
foundation OF demonstrated to be certainty.
Dakota has produced other equally wonder
full things. She may yet astonish the
country with natural gas
