On the north bank of Trout Run, two

knoll rises from the cigo of n deep
pool. The spot is a great resort for

about how the furry fellows frolic

frozen over the offers gnaw and dig a
hole in the ice at the foot of the knoll.
Then, one after another, they all plunge
into the pool, get their fur full of water
and skip up the hill. The water drips
oil on the way, and freezes as soon as
it strikes the ground or snow, and in n
little while the playful offers have a
regular toboggan slide as slippery as
ico on steep hillside can be. When
the slide is completed each otter takes
it, turn at sliding down the knoll

The body is elongated. OF nearly uni

the fish. The jaws are very long and
fitted with sharp teeth, some OF which

feeding Is to grasp fish by the tail and
proceed to climb over it with its Jaws.
As the captive il taken in tho stom. Oh

The fish will swallow another one six
or twelve times his own size. This
rapacity proves his own destruction

process of digestion makes n bal loon of

"S3&AAAN
Washington, Mays: The South Dakota
senators say that $35O,0W will be appro-
priated at this session Of congress for the
purpose Of beginning the irrigation of
the aridplains of North and South Dakota,
and the northwest, and the money will be
used in boring artesian wells in what is
supposed to be the artcsian ba sin Of that
country. They say that North and South
Dakota have already demonstrated a
sufficient artesian power to make not
only irrigation but the artesian process
practicable, and that any quantity of pow
er for manufacturing purposes can be
obtained by tapping the artesian basin.
Senator Moody says that the people inter
ested in the irrigation OF the arid plains
will not be content with a simple survey
Of the country to be irrigated, but will
demand a sufficient amount of money
to begin work on irrigation and will take
a position which will make it next to i'm
possible to accomplish anything in con-
gress unless the demand is granted.
The conclusion Of the subcommittee of
the house committee OF irrigation to ac-
cept Mr.. Connell's proposition to with
draw from the market the basin lands
which supply basin irrigation for the arid
plains meets with general approval and
there is very little doubt that it will take
the form a law. 1t is the purpose now of
congress to protect settlers against cor
porations which secure the water supply
of the country and make free irrigation
an impossibility. The government in.
tends to enter the irrigation business
itself and will hold the water basis for
that purpose.

came very near it, sailing gracefully

An Experienced Bride.

President Hyde. of Bowdoin College,
tells a good story OF the first marriage
ceremony at which he oficiated while
occupying the pulpit in Jersey City.
The bigger half of the interesting
couple was timid and nervous. The
bride was remarkably cool and self
possessed. AS the couple presented
themselves before President Hyde
there seemed to be some misunder-
standing in regard to which side the
lady should stand. The groom hitched
about nervously, but the bride was
equal to the occasion. Quickly chang
ing place with her bashful finance she
remarked confidently: There, l am
sure this is the side on which l have
always been accustomed to stand"
This solved the difficulty, and the timid
groom and the young widow, who
knew all about it from experience,
were speedily united.

1t is obvious that a good newspaper is
beneficial to the city and adjacent coun-
try. We have never asked any mans
business for the sake of supporting the
paper. Every patron has exercised his

But while we do not believe in trying to
get business by urging that people ought
to support the paper, we think that every

support the paper as far as possible. We
think that everybody interested in this

that the business men ought to give the

We don't urge people to spend money
needlessly, in order to help the paper, but,
when they need anything in the print

''but they are not quite tall enough"
The Prince looked rather surprised
at this disparaging criticism. He made
no answer. however, and several other
regiments filed past In succession, but
the Dutchmnn's verdict upon each and

At length the grenadiers of the guard

sharply:

In our whole army; may l ask what

Newspapers and GRAMMAR.

Pierre Free Press: The Sioux Falls
Press was called down on a grammatical
error in Its editorial columns by a cores
pendent, and retaliated on its critic by
picking a flaw in the language used in
pointing out its own error in form of
speech. Time must hang heavily on the
hands of any II who wades through
the columns of a daily newspaper to hunt
up grammatical inaccuracies. Time is too
precious and life to short for any one en-
gagged in the newspaper work to attempt
to avoid errors of this sort, and person,
if so inclined, can take a copy Of some
educational publication and pick out
flaws Of the same nature. 1t is but char
ity to overlook such mistakes, because
the best grammarians often make them.
