a New Yorker explains why the
people of the divided territory of Da-
kota have permitted the two parts to
60 into futurity as North and South
Dakota, instead of naming one part
prettily as Pembina or Lincoln. 1t
seems that Dakota wheat has so high
a rank in the markets of the entire
world, and is so much the greatest
product of the territory, that neither
half of the territory would consent to
drop the magic word from its name.
The people carried their pridein their
name so far as to refuse to cosider the
idea of one half being called Dakota
while the other half went as North
Dakota or South Dakota.

Dover Democrat.
The Astounding resources of this
country have hardly been tapped as
yet. 1t is reported that a vein ofnat-
ural gas sufficient to light a city has
been discovered in Buffalo; and we
hear Of new natural gas wells in other
places. There is plenty of gold,
silver, coal and other deposits that
have not yet been touched by the
hand Of industry. There are millions
of acres of fertile land that have
never yet, been under the pillow.
There are vast forests to be used by
mankind. Think of our fisheries |!
Look at our game But it would
take volume to tell the tale. This

A Remarkable Battle.

Farmer Huffstetter, of Bourbon
county, KY, lately witnessed re-
markable battle. What he supposed
were two small birds-smaller than
crows-wele seen at a great height
and a quarter Of a mile away fighting
and descending and approaching
nearer him. They fought and de-
scended until down they came to the
earth Immediately at his feet, where
they continued to fight until he kill
ed one with a pistol and the other
with a club. One proved to be a
black eagle, which measured five
feet eight inches, and the other a
gray eagle, which measured six feet
six inches from tip to tip of wings.

Inspiration from Dreams.

Current Literature.
Since Robert Louis Stevenson
wrote ga Chapter on Dreams" and
gave the little Brownies of his sleep
ing brain the credit of many of the
fanciful creations ofhis waking hours,
several we'll known novelists have
acknowledged to the dreaming of
plots. The Duchess, in q recent
newspaper article, wrote that at
least two-thirds of the innumerable
characters who figure in her innu-
merable novels have been spun from
the stuff which dreams are made of,
and if she meets an interesting man
or woman, who is in the least
suggestive of material, and goes tC
sleep with this new personality
freshly photographed in her mental
camera, she is pretty sure to dream
it up into shape before the dawn O.
day.

he printed in that paper when he

friend Ed Page and satisfied a long
felt want with 20 cents worth of ham

he can take care of his property here.

siderably sinceI was there last and
it is now quite a nice little city. A

adorn the public square but I fear
they are rather too handsome to prove

these. I expect that inside Of two
