SOME of the Montana papers are
talking as if the average price for
assessing sheep in North Dakota was
SIS head, and that the now prosper.
GUS condition Of the sheep business
in the state must soon revolt because
OF such excessive tax valuation. This
is far from the fact. One or two
counties in the state have assessed at
about So a head, but this is not a cri.
terion for the rest. nor is it fair for
our Montana bretheren to thus mis-
represent the situation. The asses
sors in.Stark have listed the sheep at
S2 Il head, and we do not think the
state board of equalization will do
anything so suicidal to the sheep ill.,
dustry of the state as raising the val
uatlon to IS head. Another way in
which the Montana journals are de.
crying this business. is by paragraphs
stating that the lambs are dying off
at wholesale rate on account of rain.
These statements have been made
without foundation. Our ilocks have
come through the spring, notwith-
standing the heavy rains, with very
snail per cent. of loss, which Montana
cannot well say of her 1locks. The
sheep-raisers Of North Dakota can
stand OH their own tub, and are not
SO selfish as to try to fill their own
Golfers by injuring those following
the same pursuit outside of the state.

victoria,s Personal Servant.

Referring to the reports of the queens
departure, describing how, when her
majesty embarked, she leaned on the
arm of an Indian attendant, while the
Duke of Connaught walked behind, a
London correspondent writes: "Her
majesty, who is faithful in her likes as
she is pronounced in her aversions, has
put the Indian in the place occupied by
the famous John Brown, who for many
years watched over his sovereign's safe
ty with a zeal that was religious in its
utter devotedness. The Indian success
sor to John Brown began to take rank
about the time of the jubilee. He is a
splendid fellow, stalwart but supple,
gifted with the curtly dignity that
comes natural alike to the well bred
Hindoo or Mohammedan; he has also
the gentleness of woman and the rev.
erence of child.
''To him the sovereign is more than
queen of Great Britain. She is also
empress of nearly three hundred millions
of his fellowsubjects in India. Anyhow,
his qualities have commended him to
her majesty as suitable personal at
tendant. Hence he now rides at the
back of the queens carriage; he leads
her pony, he is ever by her side ready to
fetch or carry, and, greatest honor of all,
he is permitted to lend his arm to sup
port his royal mistress steps when she is
weary or the way is difficult, or the in
jured knee troublesome"

Queer Sounds in a rheater,

In changing scenery in the second act
of the melodrama at the Star theater the
lights are turned down very low. In
fact they are practically put out and the
audience is left for a few seconds in
Egyptian darkness. A subdued feminine
litter usually runs through the auditor
ium when this occurs This litter be-
came a roar of laughter the other night
when distinct sounds of kissing arose in
various parts Of the house. 1t was first
a modest osculatory vibration from a
remote section of the orchestra circle. It
sent thrill up every spinal column i'll
the immense audience. A second later
a pronounced smack was heard in the
balcony, which created great sensation.
Then followed succession of base imi-
tations in the gallery, sprinkled with
loud cries of "Come OFF, "Now, you
jes leave me alone!" ':Talle your arm
away, Charley!" etc. When the lights
were turned on there were a good many
rosy faces in that crowd, but nobody
seemed to be unhappy. Ii was great
hit-New York Herald.

be put forth, but felt her incapacity.
Her niece, Il young girl, involuntarny
solved the problem for her.
"Aunt Nell could go out as cleerer,'"
she said playfully. '"rhat is what she
has always been in this house. Really,
aunt" she continued, more earnestly,
perhaps that is your vocation. You
know your poor sick people always; say
you cheer them up. Why couldn't you
succeed as we'll among rich sick people?
They would like your funny stories.and
your comfortable ways, know"
This was the crude idea, and in a
modified form it was acted upon. "Aunt
Nell" did begin to go about among half
sick and convalescent persons as a sort
of temporary companion with marked
success. She read to them, told stories,
and looked at things cheerfulfy. She
had original ideas, tact and discrimina-
ton, and succeeded wonderfully with
ailing children and nervous persons.
One patron suggested her to another un-
til she found her time fairly we'll en-
ployed, when her varied career was sud-
denly cut short this spring by her ac-
ceptance of permanent home as the
companion and comfort of a young girl
afflicted with hopeless spinal malady.
There is perhaps suggestion in the
recital, though, after all, the Office is
merely a special phase'of the general one
of companion.-Her Point of View in

a Girl Tackles a Big Snake.

Last year n monster snake was seen
in the. .neighborhood of Donnell's mill, in
this county, and its length was various
ly estimated by several parties who saw
it at from eight to fifteen feet. An at
tempt was made to kill it, but it went
into q thick& on the banks of the creek.
Nothing more was seen of this mon
ster snake until Friday, when Miss Ida
l.. Robinson saw a COW, the property of
Mr.. Abner Schoolfeld, down and strug-
Cling, and went to see what was the
matter. Imagine her surprise to see,
coiled around the neck of the COW, an
immense snake some four inches in di-
ameter and at least ten feet in length.
The COW was being choked to death,
and the brave girl took hold of the
snake with both hands, and, being a
strong girl, she with great difficulty got
it loose, or perhaps frightened it until it
uncoiled itself and ran into the thicket.
After awhile the COW, with aid from the
lady, got upon its feet and was driven
home. The snake was of brown color,
and showed no signs of striking or Bit
ing, as is common to all our native
snakes, hence it is believed to be an ana
conda, which has made its escape from
some menagerie.-Greensboro Record.

Princess Louise of Denmark.

Princess Louise of Denmark, who is
expected to marry Prince Eugene of
Sweden, gets her name and some of her
blood from the Queen Louise of Prussia,
the most beautiful woman who has be-
longed to the Berlin court. The line of
descent is: Queen Louise; her youngest
daughter Louise, who married the Dutch
Prince Frederick; Princess Frederick's
daughter Louise, who became queen of
Sweden; the Swedish queens daughter
Louise, who married the crown prince of
Denmark. Princess Louise is said to
have inherited a good part of the beauty
of the famous queen whose name she
bears. She is sixteen years and three
months old, and is the third of eight
children.
Her prospective husband, the Duke of
Nerike, is twenty-six years old, and the
fourth son, although only the third son
from the Swedish throne, as the second
son gave up his right to succession on
marrying a woman outside of the pale of
royalty. He has studied industriously
with the best painters in Paris, and is an
artist of high abilities, as well as man
of more regular and abstemious habits
than the average European prince.-Paris

"A Woman Stops "a Runaway.

Mrs. Rollin M. Squire, who is one of
the noted horsewolnen of New York,
was out riding in Central park one day
recently, when IL runaway saddle horse
dashed by her. The rider, white faced,
had dropped his reins and was clinging
to his pommel for dear life, while the
animal was boiling along at his topmost
speed. Mrs. Squire's saddle horse,
Harker, is one of the best trained ami
mails in the world, and as intelligent as
a human being. He wheeled about, even
before his mistress could lightly pull the
rein, and as she gave the word followed
after the runaway. Harker is q Ken
tucky thoroughbred with tremendous
speed and soon overhauled the boiling
horse.
Mrs. Squire quietly seized the fallen
reins, and as the two horses ran along
together brought them gradually to a
standstill, Harker doing his part as if he
had been i'll the business of stopping run
aways all his life. The scared horseman
was all confusion and thanks, of course,
but the mounted policeman, who came
slowly up, was both philosophical and
complimentary, as he touched his hat
and said, Begging your pardon, Mrs.
Commissioner, for laving yez the bad
job, but saw yez would get to him first
and slowed upa bit, becaz I knowed
you We're good for the baste.''-New

A most remarkable circumstance oc-
CURED near Edgewater two weeks ago.
Miss Lillian Young, a fair and promising
girl of twenty, daughter of John 4.
Young, of this place, was caught by IL
brown bear, which had been lurking
around the neighborhood for some time,
and carried away to the mountains.
Traces of her have been found as far up

Going to Jerusalem to Welcome Christ.
The Rev. w. P. Brown, IL prominent
Latter Day Saint minister, formerly of
Harvey, Kan, now of Richmond, Mo-,
is in Independence selling his real estate
and effects for cash, with which he pur-
poses going to Jerusalem and there wit
ness the second coming of Christ.
He says that the second coming of
Christ is not far distant; that the Jews
are fast returning to Jerusalem, and he
takes this as indicative of the great
event. He belongs to the Whitnerite
branch of the Mormon church. and has
been at Richmond studying the original
manuscript of the Book of Mormon for
the purpose of figuring out the exact date
of Christ's return.
Richard Whitmer is the present guard
ian of this manuscript. He is the son of
David Whitmer, who sat on one side of
the curtain and wrote down while
Joseph Smith, the prophet, read and
translated the Book Of Mormon on the
other side by means of the spcctacles
made of stones known as the Urim and
Thummin. From this manuscript the
Rev. Mr.. Brown has figured out this
great event.
He will leave his wife and three
daughters here while he goes to Jerusa-
lem in the early part Of this summer.
He says he does not know just what day
Christ will come, but thinks it won't be
very many months, and wants to get
there in time-Cor. St. Louis Republic.

lscm.mbcrin. "a Wealthy Widow.

Much is said and written about the re-
sponsibilities and disadvantages even of

young American 1natrons whose resi-
dcnce has been i'll London for u number

with the daughter of one of England's

PAY of School Teachers.

The question of teachers salaries is
one that is always more or less agitated.
In Scotland it becomes of grave import,
us settling the question whether it is
possible or proper for Il man teacher to
marry. The majority of opinions have
settled that $400 is the minimum, though
this question was started by few who
thought that 5000 was the lowest limit
in which marriage was feasible. In the
meanwhile in New York city the school
board has recently decided that it is un-
just to the teachers and a disgrace to the
city to allow women who have taught
fourteen consecutive years to receive
less than $3.50, and that after January
next they shall receive this amount.
This applies to $50 women.
In Massachusetts, a short time ago a
girl who was a normal graduate had had
charge for a year of one of those country
schools, part intermediate, part gram
mar, with the primary branches on the
lower floor, and had given entire salts
faction to parents and committee. Ev-
erything was running smoothly when
the girl was taken i'll. She received at
the time ten dollars per week. No other
woman substitute being found to take
charge during her absence, the commit
tee engaged a man at fifteen dollars
per week. The man was not a disciple
marian. The boys had a picnic, as they
called it, yet when the girl returned and
asked for the same pay the substitute
had received she was refused, for the
avowcd reason that she was not man.
This may be the woman's century, and
tidings Of their progress and ddngs may
be rife in the land, but there are still
sections where as yet these have not
made much impression. Fortunately
soon after she received good position at
a good salary in the normal school from
which she had graduated-Brooklyn

The Silent Club.

A queer club was once established in
London, under the title of Silent club.
The members were bound to express
themselves at all club meetings, as far as
possible, without words. The first rule
of the club was, "The members of this
academy shall think much, write little,
and be as mute as they can"
On one occasion a new candidate ap-
piled for admission. But the members
were limited and all vacancies filed. A
meeting was called, the candidate was to
be introduced, and the president was to
announce his decision. When the gen.
tleman entered the members, who were
all his friends, were as much disappoint-
ed as he that he was to be refused. As
he approached the president rose and
silently handed him cup of water, SO
full that a single drop would have made
it overflow.
The applicant perfectly understood
what the president meant, but he was
courageous and quick witted. Without
speaking, he took from his button hole a
single rose and laid it gently on top of
the water. He laid it on so softly that
not drop was displaced, and handed it
back to the president with bow.
With one consent the members ap-
planded. They resolved to put their rule
aside, and to admit the man who showed
them that he could ornament their So
ciety without hurting it.
Then the man thanked them in an
equally curious way. When the register
was handed him to be signed he wrote
below his name the number of the club
members-100. He added before it a O,
making it 010O. Underneath he wrote,
"Their value will be the same"
The man was so modest that the Presi-
dent complimented him Immediately by
rubbing out the 0 and substituting the
figure 1. This made the number 100.
Underneath he wrote, "Their value will
he increased eleven times"
These ingenious people must have de-
voted a great deal of time and thought
to avoid using their tongues.-Harper's

Mrs. Birt's Robins Treat.

There. is no sweeter charity in all Eng
land than the Robins treat which a
Mrs. Louisa Brit, of Liverpool, provides
semi-annually for 5000 of the poorest
little children she can find. A month in
advance of the treat agents are sent into
all the dark courts, alleyways and back
streets OF Liverpool with invitations for
the Robins. Absolutely no questions are
asked, the messenger seeing with half
an eye whether the dwellers deserve
cards or not. At the last treat, served
New Years eve, the finance committee
placed St. Georges hall at the disposal
of Mrs. Brit and her 5000 Robins. The
treat was all that could have been de-
sired, and not one birding was permit
ted to escape until he was too jolly full
to eat another crumb.-London Letter.

Hot Water, Not Rouge.

dear boy. Don't you know it is consid-

she looked very charming at the little
reception the other evening, and her
cheeks had blush that well knew was
not put there by nature.

Hats and Hair.

Did any one ever notice how hats and
coiffures increase and decrease in inverse
ratio? When the Gainsborough -four
ished every girl twisted her little wisp
of hair into tight, diminutive Psyche
knot. With the present saucer style the
coiffure is an important feature, well
covering the back of the head, for a wo-
man must wear something on her head.
The arrangement consists of softly coiled
locks or lightly rolled puffs and twists
from which soft curls escape, and are
caught again and held by fllet of gold
or shell. Geld nets, not tinsel, but the
genuine precious metal, adorn some
dusky coitfures for dressy wear. They
are finished with fringe of tiny pen
dants, and fastened in place with jew
eled dpins.-Exchange.

ONi. thing the business men of Dick
inson should put Il stop to, and that is
the wholesale and unrestricted use of
fire rackers, torpedoes, etc. OH the
principal streets of the town. The
indlscrimilatc use of these explosive
substances at two or three different
times lately in the evening on Willard
street has made the place seem more
like pandemonium than Il passable
street. The practice is very annoy
ing to people who wish to go along
the street at these times, and if kept
up it will result in Il disasterous fire
to the town. There is u place and
time for everything, but to jeopar-
die lives and property is carrying
things little too far.
