The Captain's PRAYER.

Capt. Van Etten Is nothing If not sem
sational. His trip to Bismarck overland
on n lecture tour attracted the attention
of the entire country and his vote upon
all measures is given with a thunder clap
spontaneity that arouses the surrounding
country for miles. The captain did not
80 to Grand Forks. While the majority
of the Dakota legislators went whirling
away to the Red River valley he and a
number of the other hard working mem
bers remained in Bismarck and on Satur-
day held a session which was made
memorable in many ways. Among
events of the day was Capt. Van Etten's
prayer Uhe official chaplain being alb
sent, which comes to us AZ follows:
80 Lord. bless this house. OF course.
as can be seen 10y careful observation.
there are not many If Us here, the ma
iorlty having gone on a %Junkcting TO
Grand Forks. 0 Lord, thou knowest
their motives in going. If it is in the
best interests of the country (Which
seems very doubtfuD thou wilt bless
them, but il it is for the pleasures Of
this world, do with them what seemest
best. 0 Lord, save Us all at last
junketers and all, if possible"
This may not bo a verbatim report Of
the earnest captains prayer, but 1t is as
the words are reported TO Us. The cap

Japan's National Flower.

1t is rather "a shock TO admirers of
chrysanthemums TO be told that in Dali
malta these beautiful flowers are grown
to be converted into insect powder. The
connection between the lovely combina-
tons of delicate color and shape is diff
cult to imagine, but since we are relia-
bly, informed that a powder is made
from them which kills all sorts Of disa-
g~reeable chronological specimens off
hand, We must accept the fact. even
though we abhor the idea. The effective
ness of the chrysanthemum in driving
out or destroying insects may be the
reason that il has been chosen as the
national flower of Japan. If all reports
are true, the greatest domestic trouble
the japanese have is in keeping their
dwellings free from the many legged
atoms that make life hardly worth the
living. 1t is only natural, then, that
they should honor the plant that is of
such great service to them in this re-
spect. AS for us, we will use other
means TO control the small intruders.
We will apply Paris green 10 our potato
bugs and feed u reaches on rough on
rats" We need our chrysanthemums in
u porlors and Conservatives, and in
their case, at least, cannot afford to
sacrifice beauty for mere commonplace
utility. -Pittsburg Bulletin.

The street car yit il named legion. He
delights to stand on the platform and
make remarks which he believes are
funny. The other day one of them stood
among the smokers on the front end OF
an Indiana avenue car and waited for an
opportunity to be comical. 1t soon pre-
scented itself. AT the corner of Twenty
second street stood an old organ grinder
who was grinding away on his aged i'll
strument. The funny man saw him and
his face lighted up. He was about to be
funny. lis it not wonderful" he said,
'how that old man there can play those
tunes wholly 10y ear and without the use
OF notes? He must be a trained mu-
sician." And then he looked around at
his fellow passengers for the expected
laugh. No one even smiled, and the
driver looked around at him as if won
dering whether or mo- he was clothed in
his right mind.
This awful silence panied the street
car Iouchstone, and the iron was ground
deeper into his soul by a young man who
stood next TO him and who turned and
said: You are mistaken. sir, about that
musical instrument. 1t is n mechanical
device, and one who is not a musician
al play it," Then he went On to give
the funny man "A description of the hand
organ. and wound up by saying: Your
mistake Is perhaps natural, but when
you have lived here in the city longer
you will learn all about these things"
The funny man alighted at the next
corner, and the smokers all shook hands
with the young fellow who had picked
him up so neatly.-Chicago Herald.

hunting trip in Kansas and Colorado
with a friend, ven to the ranch of
Charles KRIS, about five miles southwest
of Grenada, Colo. beside n deep gulch,
where away down flows a tributary to
the Arkansas river. KRIS readily gave
them shelter for the night, remarking
that it was seldom that guests ever called
in that lonely place. He told them also
that sever years before this he had lived
OF the Pecos river, at the foot Of a noun
tain spur, herding cattle. and one day a
large Dear entered the chicken coop and
his wife ran TO the rescue. She got such
a fright mat she was sick for several
months, and then they moved to their
present home. Mrs. KRIS gave birth TO
a child shortly after. which was never
known To have been seen 10y any one.
The visitors heard strange noises which
seemed to emanate from a closed closet.
They also heard Mrs. KRIS singing and
asked KRIS if he had any children. lie
then said: II will show You Il curiosity,
but you must never breathe it," He
then showed them a child three feet
high, weighing forty pounds and a com
pound Of human being, bearand chicken.
Its head was like that Of "a bear, but its
eyes were those Of a human and its ears
were a combination of human and bear,
as were It's mouth and chin. There was
"A full growth Of soft hair owe the face,

Wedding Fees.

Said a well known clergyman the
other day: II think the clergy have too
much to say about the smallness of some
earthly reason, in the first place, why a
clergyman should receive any fee for his
services on such an occasion. If fees
are To be given at all, they would be
much more appropriate when n clergy
mar is asked to o~fiiciate at a funeral,
which in some cases may nsu sew
eral hours of his time. But, granting
that a wedding fee is allowable, my ex-
perience is that such fees are as Il rule
too large rather than too small. have
oiliciated at the weddings of a great
many mechanics and worLingmen, and
and in a large majority of instances the
grooms have given me $40. Some Of
them have given $l5 and even geo.
Now, the lowest Of these sums is out
of all proportion TO the average income
of a mechanic. 1t is much more than
they can afford for a service which a
Christian minister should be glad to rem
der for nothing. And in my own prac-
tice | have always returned the fee in
such cases, unless the groom was SO fool
ishly proud az to refuse it. But in doing
SO | admit that ] am running counter to
the almost universal custom of the
clergy. My W personal opinion is that
in an age like this, when the world is SO
ready To find fault with the clergy, it
would be wise to abolish wedding fees
entirely. At the same time | DO not as
sumo to decide the matter for any one
but myself New York Tribune.

billiards.

King Louis XIV was great lover OF bill
llards and his magnificent mobiles in their
grand peruques, his marshals and generals,
matched their skill against their royal mas
ter's about some deliberately inlaid billiard
table In the royal salons Of Versailles One
Chamillard is recorded to have gained high
office of state from his skill at billiards, which
tho king delighted to witness
When the French gamo was Introduce
into England, at which time the regency In
France brought something like peace and
good will between tho two nations, 1t soon
superseded the old fashioned game. IL was
played, according to contemporary accounts,
"only with masts and balls, y the mast being
the masse, or mace, an instrument still to be
met with In billiard rooms.
With the mace tho ball is pushed and not
struck, and English players adhered TO the
mace long after 1t had been superseded on
the continent by the cue And the mace was
considered the lady's weapon even up to re-
cent times. The French game was played
with two white balls, and the play consisted
in hazarding your adversarys ball and keep
ing out of tho pocket yourself, just as single
pool Is played nowadays But before the end
OF the century third ball was introduced
the red ball-which bore tho mysterious
name of "carnmbolc" And how to hit the
two balls successfully became ono of the
points of play, and tho caram, or cannon,
added fresh interest to the play. With
this came into existence the English game,
"par excellence" at which oil hazards count
to the striker, except that unfortunate one
known as n coup, where his ball flies into
pocket without having touched another on
Its passage. All the Year Round.

During tho battle of Copenhagen Nelson had
occasion to write n letter to the crown prince
OF Denmark. wafer was handed to him,
but he rejected It, and ordered q lighted cam
die to be brought from tho cockpit. He
melted wax, and sealed tho letter with a
larger seal than ho ordinarily used. ''This Ii
no time" said he, Ito appear hurried and
informal
The anecdoto illustrates Nelson's GOODNESS In
a time OF intense excitement, and 1t also
shows his diplomatic skill which, knowing
tho effect of trihes on human intercourse, pro-
ferred wax to a wafer, deliberately selected
a larger seal and made clean impression Of
bis coat of arms.
Mr.. Hamorton, who quotes this story In his
Human Intercourse publishes also this ex-
tract from Scotts "Waverley" to illustrate
the elaboration with which our forefathers
sealed letter. and the caro- they exercised to
secure an accurate impression;
"Sir Everard again conducted his nephew
to the library, where no produced letter,
carefully folded, surrounded by little strip
of fox silk, according to ancient form, and
sealed with an accurate impression OF the
Waverley coat Of arms"
Our generation is practical, and knows the
value OF every second 1t cannot spend the
time necessary to melt the wax and to secure
Il fair impression Of the seal. 1t is satisfied
rapidly to lick thegum on the inside OF an en-
velope and then TO thump 1t to make 1t stick.
The practice is neither dignified nor elegant,
and there are no pleasant associations con-
nected with 1t, such as were linked TO the act
OF sealing; but it saves time, and that is val
liable to men OF business. Youths Com

At the foot Of tho Brush mountain, near
Bellwood, In the famous Logan spring Of
David Hershey, while performing their
rounds of Sunday work, Mrs. John Hershey
and several others Of the family were eye
witnesses OF fight which may sound like q
fish story; nevertheless it is true
At the head OF this large fountain they no
ticed an unusual disturbance In tho water.
Going nearer they observed a number OF
beautiful trout swimming to and fro, making
agreat commotion. While getting a good
view OF the encounter all except two dis
persed, which were about one foot in length,
and whose spotted sides glistened In the pure,
clear water.
In an instant the larger but less active one
bounced upon the smaller, selling 1t by the
back and clinging to 1t like q bloodhound.
Tho next moment the smaller one whisking
and twirling itself almost out Of the water,
secured its freedom, when In turn 1t grappled
the large one. Biting each other in the side,
head, back and tail, the fight continued for
twenty minutes, causing the blood to 1ow
freely from their wounds, SO as to ,darken tho
water

the result, ran for hay rake and, securing
one, she parted them. But TO her great sur
prise they rushed together again. Another

seemingly dead, ended the fight, Somerset
