MY WIFE,S BRIDGE.

At Toxic, Japan, is a fine bridge
called Adzuma-Bashi = My Wife's
bridge. The name has romantic ORR
gin. A brave general who had quelled
rebellion in another part OF the EN-
pire, was fastening home on account of
the receipt Of message that his wife
was dangerously ill. On the last day
of his hurried journey, he found his
course barred bya bridgeless river, an&
when, after long and anxious waiting,
he managed to find boat to cross in,
he was met by messengers bearing the
sad tidings that his dearly loved wife
had just died, before he could arrive to
press her hand for the last time and say
adieu. "AIy wife could not wait for
me" was all the stoical warrior would
trust himself to say as he stood there
as if frozen by the shock. His sovereign,
touched with compassion for the blow
that had fallen upon him while away
fighting for his country, ordered a
bridge to be built at the spot and
named it Adzuma-B ashi But the peo-
pie say it cost the monarch only s24,
since lot of paper money was manu-
featured especially to pay for it.

Such a person was the favorite servant

And do you believe them, general ?'
asked Jenny, with mixture OF sur

UNCLE s4M AND HIS YARDS.

The Sioux Indians, in spite Of the
protests of that old malcontent, Sitting
Bull, have sold their land to the gov
eminent for the round sum OF fourteen
cool millions. N. BIT is usual in re-
ferring to million dollars to state that
it is cool, although what refrigerates
that precise sum is not very clear At
all events, the Indians are satisfied,
which justifes the remark that we are
dealing, in this instance, much more
fairly with the Indians than is usually
the case. While it is generally con-
ceded that the Indian undoubtedly has
his rights, it is sad commentary on the
superior race that the Indian generally
gets very badly left when he attempts
to assert them. In some other respects
Uncle Sam does not prevent unscrupu-
lous pale faces from imposing on the
unsophisticated red man of the forest.

One OF the seniors of the Bismarck
convention and one of the wealthiest
men here is Addison Leach of Daven-
port, Cass County. He was born Feb
ruary 90, 1924, in Mercer County,
Pennsylvania. He was miller, lum-
herman, and steamboat owner IN Penn
sylvania for many years. For ten years
before coming to Dakota he was resi-
dent of Erie, where he still has large
property interests. During the early
part of the civil war nv. Leach was
Major on Gov. Curtin's staff. Afterward
he served as Lieutenant Colonel OF the
Fourteenth Pennsylvania Volunteers,
and throughout the war was patriotic
and jealous Union soldier. Major
Leach is distinguished for his quaint
humor, bluff manner and open-hearted-
Ness He is accompanied by Mrs.
Leach, who is tine-looking and tai
entel lady. It is reported that when
Mr.. Leach was elected as delegate to
the Constitutional Convention his wife
said to him:
Now, Addison, I have favor to
ask. Promise me that while you are at
Bismarck you will quit swearing and
wear dress coat"
Well, wife" he answered, Il have
determined to quit swearing; it is bad
habit; but I'll be id if I'll wear a

SATISFIED.

There is sharper's game which has
been played for the last 100 years, and
as the turning-point is avarice, the game
works forty-nine times where it fails
once. Two sharpers set out few
weeks ago to play it on Wayne County
farmer. One of them came along one
day and wanted to buy the farm. AS
the farmer wanted to sell it was quite
easy to strike bargain. The price
was $4,000 in cash, and the man handed
over $3.50 to bind the bargain. In two
days second stranger came along and
wanted the farm. lie wanted it so
badly that he couldn't stand still. He
found indications OF coal, natural gas,
and oil, and he was willing to give
$4,000 for the place. The idea was, of
course, that he would be awful sick of
his first sale and seek to buy the man
off. 1t would pay him to offer the man
81 800 to release him.
The second stranger was only out OF
sight when the first one turned UP
again. His mouth watered over the
prospect, but not for long. The far
mer explained that he had been offered
50, 500 more, and added
''But I don't care for money The
$4,000 is enough for me, and it's all the
farm is worth. When you are ready to
pay the balance Well make out the pa
pers.
The purchaser offered to release him
for 81, 00o-s7o0-S5O0-$3 but the
farmer didn't want to be released. He
hung to the bargain money, and he's
got it yet, while the pair Of sharpers
rave and gnash their teeth every time
they think Of the thickness of the old
| farmers skull,

A Traveller once put up for the night
with a simple-minded old couple in
Lonely farmhouse. As he rode up to
the door he heard The Old woman say,
in tone OF deep CONVICTION:
"Tbere. [ Rnowed some one would
como before night, for / dropped my
fork on the floor this moring, and 1t
stuck straight up. Then dropped the
disl-cloth at noon-another sure sign
of company"
In entering the house the visitor care
lessly struck his foot against the step,
and came near falling.
"Ah," said the old lady, (which toe

The right" was the reply.
chats good: it's sure sign you are
going where you are wanted. Pa, shoe
that rooster off the fence. If he crows
there, it will rair before morning"
A little boy ran into the room, crying
out:
"Oh, grandma, look! Here's copper
/ found in the road.
I'm not bit surprised. Don't you
remember, Tommy, that you dreamed
of finding a nest of hens eggs last
night! 1 told you then you'd find some
money before week"
A young woman was washing on a
porch back of the house, when the old
lady cried out:
There, there, Susan, if you have. t
splashed soapsuds all over the front OF
your dress! And if you don't get a
drunken husband for it I'm wonderfully
mistaken. I've known that sign to come
true often, and often. But you can
keep it from coming true by hanging all
the clothes on the line wrong side out,
and you'd better do it,"
SO Susan did, as the traveller noticed
| to his great amusement.
