why Tom Should Learn to Read Before
Another October Comes Round.
Tom and Helen and Kate and Jack
all went to the same school, and were
great friends
In October, when they were at home.
from school, they kept hearing their
mammas and papas and older brothers
and sisters talk about the exposition
that was being held in the great new
hall, built for the purpose, in the city
where they lived.
They heard of the wonderful ma
chimes, of the beautiful dresses and
dress fabrics, of the elegant furniture
and the splendid toys, of the lovely
jewelry and the fancy pickle depart
ment, and of the man who painted
landscape in oil for you free in three
minutes.
They heard of the monograph ex-
hibit where lady sung out of "a ma
chine, and the sewing-machine exhibit
and the piano and organ exhibit. They
heard about the fine band that played,
and about the apple and popcorn stands,
until they were wild to go and see all
these things for themselves, and l do
not wonder that they were.
So they talked about it after school
one day. ut costs twenty-five cents
apiece to get in" said Jack.
"Who is ever going to give us dol
larP" said Helen, in despair.
Lets each earn our own quarter"
said hopeful Tom, land then we'll all go
together
That's easier said than DONE" an
swered Kate.
But they all agreed to try, and on Fri
day to compare notes. Then if they
had the money, they would go to the
exposition on Saturday. When Friday
came each one had quarter.
81 got mine for pulling all the bast-
ings out of two of mammals new
dresses" said Kate
"Pooh That isn't worth a quarter"
said Tom
Just try it and see, replied Kate.
How'd you make yours?"
Cutting the lawn for my father"
said Tom, with an air of pride. There's
some work in that
And | made mine rocking the baby
to sleep for mamma evenings" said
Helen.
"And 1 ,und mine in the alley" said
Jack
"O-o-ohr' said all the children at once.
On Saturday they went to the great
building. They paid their money to the
man at the little window, and then
went eagerly through the big turnstile
In the doorway
There they were in the great main
room. They caught glimpse of rows
and rows of wonderful things, like a
whole city-full of shop-windows all to-
gether, and then Master Tom said:
This isn't the room to look at first. 1
know the way. We must go through
that big door over there that says 'Ex-
hibit over it-that's where to begin, and
then we come back here
So they followed Tom straight across
the big room, and never stopped to look
at any thing, not even the card over the
door.
They opened itSvide and through they
went-the door slamming behind them.
Then they stopped short and stared at
one another
Where do you suppose they were?
Why. the card over the door said
Exit, rot Exhibit, and there they
were outside again, in another entrance
hall. and right alongside Of a big, burly
policeman who wouldn't let them go
back!
Poor little children, Their money was
all gone. there stood that dreadful pig

PRINCE FERDINAND AND MILE vAcAREsco.
They could not afford that their future King
should wed outside the regal circle. Accord
ingly, Mile. Vacaresco was removed from the
court, as it appeared that Ferdinand would
never be made King If he persisted in his in
tention to marry his love. To make even this
sacrifice the Crown Prince was willing and
wrote Mile. Vacaresco that he was ready to
forego the royal succession rather than to lose
her The young lady, who seems TO be a
cooler headed person than the Prince wrote
him that it would be better for him to wait
and see what time would do in their behalf.
SO the matter stands and as Everybody loves
a loVer,n everybody is hoping that the Crown
Prince Ferdinand of RoGmania will become
King Ferdinand and that his throne will be
shared by the lady of his choice.

peyouring the Big Fruit Crop.

Pittsburg Dispatch.
''The abundant fruit crops have knocked
the bottom out of the wholesale grocery busi-
ness" said a travelling man for a local house
yesterday. 81 have just returned from a reg
ular trip, and this time last year had booked
200 orders for general line. This time /
booked none. The country people are chock
possible. They are buying very little meat
and making the fruit take the place OF the
regular diet. They buy little sugar and
coffee, but that is all.

WATER C0LORS.

w "a SoLOhSs
The hush of solemn stiffness
Has covered mystic deep;
For earth in its robe of shadows
Is wrapped in dreamless sleep.
The mountains stand out like monsters
Some power has held at bay;
And hillocks do lowly reverence
AT dawning of winsome day.
But darkness that hangs like sorrow,
Wherever the land may be,
Has changed to tender grayness
On face of the smiling sea.
And pure as the dream of an infant
Or soft as the voiceless psalm,
Comes breeze like kiss Of heaven"
To waken this slumbrous calm.
1t steals through the reeds and lilies,
And tosses the whispering trees,
Then turning away from the woodland
1t makes for the open seas.
But changed is the face of the ocean,
The spirit afar has fled
That caused ''the eye of the morning"
This opaline tear to shed.
For fushes of faintest crimson
On limpid surface is seen,
And blue, and amber, and violet,
And delicate shades of green.
Still reddening in rarer richness
The deepening beauties start
Till the flush that adorns the morning
Seems robbed ftom the roses heart.
4 stranger in caves of midnight,
In greed for the dangerous pelf,
Discovered the alchemist secret,
And turned TO gold himself.
With mien that is more than kingly
Arises the Golden Priest,
And making the daybeams quiver
He bursts through the radiant east.
The pillows he gilds with glory,
Arrayed in his conscious might,
His smiles TO seaward he scatters
Till Ocean is shimmering light.
So Royal Colors of morning
EmblaZon the waters bold,
For the sea that wss erstWhile crimson
Is changed TO Cloth of Gold.

Children Need More sleep.

-PitsburG Dispatch.
DR.. Cold, German specialist, comes out
strongly for more sleep for children. Infants,
he says, should sleep most of the time, and
this is generally allowed them. But children
from 6 to z are robbed generally of their sleep,
and the change affects their health. From 10
sleep, while he needs 10 or II. Until one is
81, hours sleep is necessary to keep up the
physical balance. Even an adult, the German
specialist thinks, needs from to hours sleep
every day.

"A District Fair Association.

Subject to call, about forty of the busl-
ness men of Bismarck met at the city hall
Wednesday evening to consider the ques-
ton of organizing a permanent fair associ.
alton. A. N. Leslie called the meeting to
order. Judge Hare was elected chairman
and Fred Hendershott, secretary. In tax.
ing the chair Mr.. Hare said the object of
the meeting was to consider the ADVISABLE.
ty OF a county or district fair organization,
which, he believed, would be a step in the
right direction. DR.. Harcourt was called
upon and expressed himself in favor OF in
wiling all the slope counties to Join with
Burleigh n make a grand display of the
slopes products. He said the exhibit
should extend from the stock farms to the
schoOl-rooms and encourage every branch
of industry. He spoke particularly of the
stock department. Many men are breed
ing outside the county because Jul home
stock has not become known. E. Il. Will
son was next called on and he moved the
appointment of a committee of three to eff
feet a permanent organization, which mo-
ton prevailed, and the chair appointed E.
H. Wilson, DR.. Harcourt and A. N. Leslie.
Judge Gray, j. D. Mcdonald and others
expressed themselves in favor of making
the fair a district organization. The COM
mittee was instructed to communicate with
outside counties, and an adjournment was
taken subject to the call of the chairman.

true report OF an interview with Col. Donan,
in which that gentleman is quoted as say
ing some very uncOmplimentary things of

those states as tools and ign0ramuseS, pro-
nOuilced The soil barren and beyond hope
Of redemption by irrigation, condemned
the division of the territory into two states
and painted the future of the DakotaS in
the most somber hues. Now that doesn't
sound like Pat DOMAIN. The Dakota of
other days did much for him and many of
the best people in the twin Dakotas of to-
day are his warm friends and ardent adj
mlrels. He knows that these states are

Joseph Balm, ole of the men engaged
with the steam shovel at Sunnyside, was
killed by a landslide yesterday. The bank
i'll which the shovel is working is COM
posed of sand and gravel. The shovel had
worked close to the bank and at II a. M.
a slide occurred. MI. Balm was handling
one of the jackscrews at the front of the
framework of the e%XcavatOr, and when the
slide began, started to run. but fell and
was buried. 1t is thought by those present
that he could have been rescued had not
another slide Immediately followed, which
covered him to a depth of six feet. 1t was
twenty minutes before he could be dug out
and life had fled. The body was conveyed
t. Mandan, where he lived. He had a
wife and three children. Mr.. Balm was a
Russian, and highly respected by his asso-
ciates and neighbors. Judge Francis.
counsel for the Northern Pacific Company,
was summoned TO be present at the in
quest. On his return MIR. Francis stated
the verdict was death by accident. He
said when the earth began to slide the en-

side, who Immediately jumped, and, had

The piece was bid in by Mr.. r. E. Wallace

Jim jerks on journalism.

EDITOR TRIBUNE: | understand j.. E..
Britton of the Mclean County Mail has be-
gun a libel suit against r. Il. Copeland OF
the Washburn Leader. Now, when Brit
ton started that suit the matter became of
public interest and subject to the decision
OF the people. Both Of the papers referred
to and connected with this trouble ought
to be ashamed of articles they have print
ed. They have filled their columns with
personal abuse, fixing no limit to the dis
graceful stuff forced upon the public. The
people up there have stood it pretty well,
but l am informed that they are becoming
disgusted with both of the papers, which
ought to be devoting their columns to
news matter and the building up of their
town m county. Now, the truth of the
whether Copeland likes Britton or not, or
vice versa. 1t does not give u paper pres
tige to abuse the editor of a contemporary.
What the people wan and are willing to
pay for is news n good advice. Both of
the gentlemen referred to are capable of
getting up, a better editorial page than
they have been doing. II a man has gone
wrong in the past. and has repented, the
people don't care a straw, and when it
comes to publishing slanderOus articles
that no one believes, they look to some
other source for information. 1t is all
right to make a good clean political cam
paign and let her boil good and hot. The
readers like that; but when it comes to
personal abuse-and false, at that-they
ought to have more respect for the profess
sion they claim. 1 understand the articles
are signed by some mark or letter and
dated all over the country. Well, that
don't help the matter any. An editor
ought to make a person sign such an arti-
Gle, if published, and respect for his SUBJ
scribers ought to inspire him to that pitch
where such stuff would find its reward in

Exchanging Warrants For Bonds,

One of the wiseSt moves of the present
board of county commissioners is that
looking to the relief and benefit of the
county's financial condition by converting
the outstanding warrants drawing 7 per
cent. into 500 bonds drawing + per cent.
1t will be remembered that an attempt was
made to bond the entire floating debt and
refund the present outstanding bonds
drawing 8 and 10 per cent The sale was
made but afterwards fell through-the
parties agreeing to take the bonds falling
to come to time. The commissioners then
decided to issue twenty year bonds in de-
nominations of $500, each, payable after
five years at the option of the county and
exchange them for outstanding warrants.
1t is believed that nearly all OF the war
rant holders will accept these bonds in en-
change and the benefits are mutual. A
bond is better than a warrant and if the
county can succeed in floating its indebted,
ness at a saving OF one per cent. and by
getting on a cash basis save from 10 to 20
per cent. il" its expenditure for necessary
supplies it is certainly to be commended.
Treasurer Dunn has already received over
$4,000 of warrants to be exchanged and
has adyIces from other heavy holders OF
warrants saying they will do likewise
