strong upon him, and it was only when he
SLEPT that his hands did not bear the bur
den of brushes and palette.
The canvas that so engrOssed his mind
was q picture of the coast of Spain near
Malaga, which he was charging and com
posing from faithful sketches done on the
spot. The scene wa thoroughly Mediter
anear.
In the foreground was a sandy dune
covered with wild laurels, cactus and aloe,
interspersed with silken speared or burned
yellow grass. The brilliant salmon cOlOred
sand showed in patches here and there,
while crOuched behind thisiclump of vege-
tation were three soldiers of the coast
guard, peerlng through the leaves at a
boat whose Orange-cOlOred Sail was plainly
visible Off shore.
The picture was finished, and he brought
it to Paris and sent it to the salon. Then
followed the anxious days, until finally
the day came when the decision of the
judges was to be announced. Paul sat in
a cafe with a dozen other artists, all wait
ing for news from their pictures, when in
tlst, who shared Paul's studio. He had
just had good, good news, and he felt so
delighted that his mind conceived "a bril-
liant joke, and he gravely proceeded to
carry it out.

so has mine; but we'll try again, ell? 2" and
he winked at the other artists.
Without a word COrnOyer went out. He
walked directly to his studio, and sitting
down at a table wrote a brief note.
"Dear MOTHER" it ran. Pm tired out,
and it's no use. My picture Was not hung
in the salon. Good.by."
An hour later jenkins came up the steps
two at a time. He had been looking for
Paul, and wondered where he had gone.
He opened the door of the studio and
stepped in quickly.
His foot stepped in something wet; he
hastily struck a mach, and by its flicker
ing light he saw Paul stretched out Oil the
floor with a revolver in his right hand. He
was dead.
Jack stared without uttering a sound.
Then he picked up the revolver, lighted
another match, and looked into the cylin-
der. Four cartridges remained. The
match burned down to his finger and he
dropped it. The burning end fell upon
the floor where it was wet, and sputtered
out as Jack pulled back the hammer.
A delegation of friends cam to their
studio the next day to congratulate the two
American artists over the success of their
pictures, and to tell Paul that his picture
had taken the third medal.
They found two bodies, lying one across
the other.

I.C. WADE, we'll known all over the
Dakotas as authority upon matters re-
lating to cattle, writes the following let
ter, which should be read and needed by
every farmer:
Some three months ago, l prcgnosticated
a rise in cattle. To-day good cattle are
selling. from 25 to 80 per cent. more than
last fall. We of Dakota q rest assured
that there is still further advance coming
to us on cattle. Cattle are being picked up
all over the United States at fancy prices,
i. e. fancy as to ruling prices the past three
years.
Within the past sixty days. Armour &
Morris, of Chicago, have picked up all the
distillery fed cattle of Canada and over So
600 in the Panhandle of Texas. Why this
extra purchase unless they are sure cattle
will still further advance? Every calf
born in Dakota ought to be kept this spring
nothing will pay better. From now on
stock ran pick for themselves; i'm fact, my
Dakota Valley herd of pure breds have
picked the most of their feed all winter
and they are healthy and lively.

Is it Adjntant- General Bentley or De-
Noy, seems to be the question of the
hour in militia circles. While at Grand
Forks last week, DR.. Bentley requested
the records of the office from Mr.. Dewey,
but was met with the information thath he
-DeVoy-had concluded Gov. Burke's
appointment was no good and the only
simon-pure, blown-in-the bottle official
was the said DeNoy. His position is
that Chap. 100 of the laws of 1887, which
chapter was the military code, provides
that the governor shall issue all COM
missions, and they shall continue during
good behavior or during the pleasure of
the governor" Sec. Is of the same act
provides for and creates the office of adj
'utant-general, which law was approved
April II, 1887. Subsequently, on Oct. /,
1889, the state constitution was adopted.
Sec. 1872 of article 3 reads, "the com
missioned officers of the militia shall be
commissioned by the governor, and nc
commissioned officer shall be removed
from Office except by sentence of court.
martial pursuant to law"
From this Mr.. DE Voy is of the opin.
ion that this section fixes the term of
Office of the commits: ioned officers of the
militia; and section six of chapter 100, oil
the laws of 1887, being repugnant to and
in conflict with the foregoing provisions
of the constitution, was repealed upor
the adoption Of the constitution, and thu
term of all commissioned officers be
came fixed under the constitution. Th,
first executive of the state made the ap
pointment of adjutant general and ISSUED
a commission to that officer. At til,
time the commission was issued til,
term of Office was fixed by the constitu
ton, and he does not see how any subse
quent legislation could change it. Tn
recent military code, H B. $50, is simpl.
a revision of the military code, which
was in existence, and was the law govern
ing the militia at the time he was appoint
ed. The Office of adjutant general wal
not vacant when that act became a law
and the governor had no right to maxi
all appointment to that office. This il
De Noy's view of the matter and unde
that he proposes to hold the office unit

And he straightway Offered Pau the
magnificent sum Of $3.50 if he would make
the letters palmer. so he could use it as an
advertisement. 1t would look fine in the
sample-room with a touch of bright red or
yellow in it and a $1.50 gold frame, he
thought. And if the firm name could be
worked into that streak of sunlight in blue
letters, how we'll it would go!
This was this extent of the paternal ap-
probation of the artistic efforts of his son,
but it was appreciated to a certain extent.
And the picture won the old man over.
1t was settled afterward that Paul
should go to Paris and work under the
eyes of the great artists.
"But,'' said the man of gin and whisky,
"if you do not get a picture hung in the big
salon over there after two years, you
mustn't expect no more money from me,
for I'll give you nothing. You'll have to
shift for yourself, and I'll put what I've
| %squandered on you down to profit and loss
and close the books" .
Paul sailed away with a hopeful heart.
He studied under excellent painters, and
became a faithful and conscientious stud
ent. For a year he worked hard.
"Next year." he thought, "Only two
years to study before l offer a picture 10
the salon. But it's got to be done and I'll
do it," And so the pile of studies in his
studio grew larger, and each n showed a
holder hand and a clearer thought than its
predecessor.
EARLY in the spring Of the second year
he started for the coast of Malaga to con.
ceiye what was to be his masterpiece-his
picture for the salon. For a month he
worked feyerishly until he settled down
to one subject, then the artistic fever came

A TRAGIC JOKE.

Ever since Paul Cornoyer had drawn
landscapes and browsing cattle on his
slate at school. his mother had believed in
his genius. She did not hope that he would
become an artist some day5he knew 1t.
She had treasured his pencil sketches,
each one better than the last, and felt he
would make a name for himself when he
grew up.
Paul's father was a wholesale liquor
dealer, a ~hard-headed man, unsentimental,
who measured conscience by dollars and
gagged the world by greenbacks. He did
not believe III the soul of art. He did not
know such a thing existed; so when Paul
left school and talked of Paris and studios
and Art with a capital A, his father
looked at him as if he thought he were
crazy.
"Send you to Paris for two years? Not
much, my boy. I've heard a thing or two
about Paris. and as for art-well, that's as
good an excuse as any for going to Paris.'
There was where the mother came in,
She came to the defence. She exhibited,
first, the boyish sketches, then the better
drawings made by the pencil of the grow
ing youth, and finally a washy sketch of a
dark corner of the warehouse done in
water. color.
The last bit of realism caught the old
mans fancy. The clever conception of

atmosphere and touching the grimy bar.

him of their value in the same colored
metal. How natural the rust on the hoops
and that cobweb over the r isht-hand win
dow-pane looked to him! But what pleased
him most was not the beauty of the color
ing or the composition, but the fact that
the boy had not omitted to suggest family
