DAKOTA AS SHE Is.


The Chicago newspapers - Tribune,
Times, News and Mail-are advertising
Dakota in splendid shape. They are full
of happy comparisons of Dakota sun
shine with New York blizzards They
treat the dispatches rendering aid to the
sufferers as neat and commendable
strokes of practical sympathy. Among
the best is leading editorial by the Mail
on ::Balmy Dakota" It is somewhat
pleasant as we'll as melancholy in its
tone as these paragraphs Indicate;
In striking contrast with the appalling
news from the storm-stricken and ice
bound eastern states comes news from fair
Dakota, the land of flowers and balmy
breezes, the land where the soft wings of
faint faint DER The gardens Of Pierre in their cir
bloom. Dakota is all right Upon the
shivering Atlantic coast rests pail of
snow. The voice OF animate nature is
hushed. All living things possessed of
shelter clingto it in their. frigid misery,
will come, but which is yet far distant.
They dream of the summer and its
warmth and turn their enviOus eyes to-
ward the far northwest, where Bismarck
sits in glory amid the fields of waving
grain, and where the voice of the reaper
IS heard to complain: '.You have walked
me to soon; must slumber again. Sad is
the scene, from Bangor down to Charles
ton by the sea.
Following this introduction are tele-
grams from Bismarck, NIandan, Pierre
and Fargo. The Bismnrck telegram is
as follows:
BISMARCK, March 14.-Reports just in
from Buffalo Chip county are that the
past. The farmers are but half through
with their threShing, but the average pro- |
duct can already be pretty closely esti-
mated. 1t will be in the neighbOrhOOd OF
11S bushels per acre. The second crop of |
clover promises we'll.
The st. Paul papers have been just as
kind. The Pioneer Press has published
some keen editorials, analyzing the eli
mates of the Atlantic belt and the banana
belt. tits true as the Mail says:
There the green leaves of the maple
show not tleck of crimson; there the rob
ins are watching with tender solicitude
the first flights of their offspring; there |
the quail pipes merrily in the stubble:
there the sturdy hunter, perfumed flask in
pistol pocket. seeks the w0OdcOck in the
willows; there the youth go nutting in the
yellow afternoon; there the frisKing squir-
the honey laden bee drifts slowly from the |
dahlia to the hive to increase the hoard of |
sweets in cells already filled to bursting;
there the harvest moon looks down at
night on fields now yielding up their treas |
ures. Such is Dakota.

THE STORY OF THE STORM.

The New York papers tell the story of
the storm better than the meagre reports
sent over the wires. The people of the
west who never saw or heard of such
storm can hardly realize the terrors of
the storm Of last week in old New Eng
land. The following quotations from
eastern papers will be read with interest
by the TRIBuSEs readers:
New York Herald: All business was
abandoned, and the snow drifted III noun
tains against miles and miles of closed
business houses. The elevated railways
ceased running, and all the horse car lines

pulled up out of the ground and thrown in
all directions by the mighty wind which
increased in strength every moment Men
and women were thrown about like straWs.
and many had to be dug out of the vast
drifts. Wall street looked like an icy gulch
in Montana. Ferry boats were blown help
lessly up ana down the North and East
rivers in the shrieking tempest, and no
vessel dared to enter the storm-smitten har-
Dor. Trains on all the railways were
showed in. The telegraph companies re-
fused to take messages. A horror of dark
ness deepened over the crowded city, and
the terror stricken population covered at

clouds of snow that were driven along the

up by their drivers. At every turn could
be seen these deserted vehicles. Their
owners had fled for their lives, apparently
regardless of what became of the property.
Butchers wagons, piled high with meat,
milk trucks crowded with cans, grOcers'
wagons. coal carts, street cars were scat
tered in the mountains of snow in all
directions. There were thousands upon
thousands of these abandoned wagons and
carts, some overturned, some lying across
the street. some half buried in the drifts.

With men and women dying in her ghost

through the wild clouds yesterday (Wed-

overwhelmed the metropolis, and citizens
were found dead in the mighty snow drifts.
White, frozen hands sticking up out of the
billOwed and furrowed wastes testified to
the unspeakable power that had desolated
the city. Had Jules Verne written such a
story week ago New Workers would have
laughed and pronounced it clever but inn

telegraph communication. The white hur-
ricane had strewn her busiest and gayest

Nor single newspaper in the land, SO
far as the TRIBUNE can learn, has come
to the defense of General Badeau in his
dispute with Col. Fred Grant and his
mother. Not single newspaper ought
to. As the Chicago Times puts it, ''the
correspondence recently published be-
tween Badeau and General Grant shows
the danger of fooling with old bomb
shells found buried on the battlefield.
Badeau did this, didn't know it was
loaded and now where is he? Old let
ters of dead man may be even more
dangerous than exhumed bomb shells,
for they keep on exploding. If Mr.. Ba-
deau ever revisits these scenes he will
regret the day that he ever went into
General Grants correspondence with
pickax. In one Of his letters he tells the
old warrior that he had not the habits
of mind necessary for completing his
work, and hence should employ Badeau
on his own terms. This reminds the
world that during all that painful scene,
while the old hero was fighting death for
minutes in order to leave his family some
means of independence, he worked on
with Badeau's words of disparagement
and encouragement ringing in his ears.
Nothing more was wanted than this cor
respondence to add to the pathos of a
scene the like of which was never before.
Badeau said: No literary man has the
military knowledge; no military man has
the literary experience; no literary or
military man living has one tithe of my
knowledge and experience on this SUBJ
iect.' After this who does not rejoice to
know that Badeau was peremptorily dis
missed, and that the old general worked
on alone. His book is his own, un-
marred by the mawkishness and twaddle
that a literary martinez and pretender
| would have poured over it."

Hints About Costuming Them From Top to

Dressing dolls is considered delight
ful work. by some women. These are
the ones who know how to get the
best effect with the smallest amount Of
trouble. No little girl enjoys a doll
who can not be dressed and nndressel,
and whose clothes do not resemble
those worn by human ladies and
babies. Tarlatans and cheap silks are
well enough for small fancy dolls to be
sold Mt fairs, but should not be used
upon dolls who are expected to become
members Of the family.
To dress u baby-doll about eight
inches long Zone such will cost but
little money and should have real hairy
buy a yard Of canbric and get some
bright-colored flannel for little
round cloak or cape. Take piece Of
old flannel for little petticoat; make
it ten inches long and twelve wide;
pink the edge with a pair Of sharp
scissors and put little white cambria
band on the top. Make little cam
brio shirt out Of piece eight inches
long, cutting holes for the arms, edge
the upper part and armlets with lace,
and pin on the doll, then put on the
flannel skirt, make white petticoat of
the same size. and finish with q little
hem and q ruffle Of lace or en-
broidery. The dress should have
q yoke, pufed sleeves and be fourteen
inches long from the yoke to the hem.
A pretty way is to trim it with ruffle
Of lace and add a cambria sash. Make
q cambria cup fastened with bright
ribbon, and cape cloak lined with
flannel OF silk. Such dressed baby
doll will please any little girl, and if
one has machine it will take but a
few moments to sew the pretty little
garments.
An older doll. one who pretends to be
girl, should have a colored flannel
