CASTING PEARLS BEFORE SWINE
A Touching Bit OF Mutual Courtesy BE-
tween Helpless Women.

tween Helpless women.
An incident occurred on n west
bound Madison cable car the other day
which made even the grizzled old con-
ductor look with pride and respect az
sweet-faced. gray-eyed little woman
and with contempt on a number OF
well-dressed, well-to-do human swine
who occupied about half of his car,
says the Chicago Herald.
At the corner of Troop street a
young woman carrying in her arms n
baby OF about two years. very large
and heavy for its age hailed the car.
When, after some difficulty, che sue
ceeded in boarding tho car, it was
noticed that she was hardly equal to
the task of much longer holding in her
arms her heavy burden. Every seat
was occupied, however, and she was
compelled TO remain standing in tho
aisle where she staggered at every
lurch of the train. Several times her
big baby was almost thrown from her
arms Her mute appeal for a seat
that she might rest her arms of their
precious freight were unanswered until
the little. gray-eyed woman looked up
from a book she was perusing. In
stantly she arose from her seat and
tenderly babe the young mother take
her place. It was then noticed for
the first time that the little woman
was crippled ana that she stood rather
awkwardly in the aisle, at times com
PEELED to hold to the seat railing to
prevent being thrown to the flooring
of the car.
This was noticed by the young moth
err, and without word she got up,
gently pushed the little woman into
the seat, and then, with a sweet "YOu
won't mind, will youP" placed her
pretty baby in the lap OF the little
woman. With o look OF scorn and
pity commingled the young mother
glanced at the big beasts who lolled in
their seats and turning to her baby and
its guardian she looked as independent
and happy as a queen.
Meantime the little woman and her
protege were getting well acquainted.
and when she signaled to the conduo-
tor to stop, chat she might leave tho
car, the baby wore very pretty gold
neck chain which had not been there
before. AS she got up to depart tho
gray eyes of the little woman grew
cold. and there seemed to be dam
gerous glitter in them. She was de-
termined that the young mother should
have her seat which she succeeded in
securing for her. On leaving she
handed the baby a card. which. when
read by tho mother. acquainted her
with the fact that the crippled little
woman was the maiden sister OF one
of the best known judges now sitting
on the circuit bench in Cook county.
But the swine--they simply curled
their legs into more comfortable posi-
tions, and talked louder than ever

songstress had been deeply touched by
stories of the illustrious patriot, and
dpon reaching Washington the first

then proprietor OF the estate, heard OF
her wish, he chartered a steamboat
and made up party, which, beside
Mr.. Barnum and Miss Lind, included
Mr.. Seaton, the Mayor OF Washing

boat landed near the tomb and the
party proceeded thither The Swedish

The party had reached the library
Colonel Washington took a book from
one of the shelves and presented 1t to
her. Not only had it been Washing

and his name written with his own
hand. Miss Lind was greatly moved.
She drew Mr.. Barnurn aside and insist

for the gift then and there, and al

Hon. Waldo M. Potter, receiver of the
Fargo land Office, whose sterling republi-
canism ever since the birth of the party,
and whose services in political conven-
tions-McHenry county will testify-have
been only feebly rewarded by an migrate
full republic, is out in another letter-in
which it is finally given out what's the
matter with Hannah. 1t seems that Pot
ter has believed all those St. Paul yarns
about conferences of North Dakota politi-
clans, and it has given him sort of night
mare. He wants harmony in the ranks of
the republican party hereafter. Potter is
all right-or seems to be. It is evident he
will "harmonize" all right if he can only be
convinced there will be no more est. Paul

Editor Tuttle is all right, and hit the Of

spot. But the Tribune is "way off, when
it infers that McHenry county can testify
to anything concerning Potter. Old Pot
ter never had anything whatever to do
with any convention in McHenry county
directly nor indirectly-and was never
inside the county, nor within a hundred
miles of it. The people of that county
never heard of Waldo NJ. Potter until he

ter he leaves that position.

Another Fraudulent Insurance Company.

Another Fraudulent Insurance Company.
In 1856 the Fire Insurance Company of
Chamberlain (now in South Dakota) sent
it's agents through this section of country
soliciting insurance against fire, lightning,
tornado, wind storms, etc. Wheu the
agents got among foreigners who could
not understand English, they made out
the applications to cover "a large amount
of propertyrshe applicants never had, and
got them to sign notes for the premium.
After the applicants received their policies
they discovered the fraud practiced upon
them, and some of them Immediately sent
back the poles, while a larga number of
others gave their policies to an attorney
to return for them. It seems that in the
latter cases the policies were not returned
and now the company is seeking to enforce
payment of the premium notes-summons
being served on all parties who can be
found. The collection of these notes will
be resisted by at least few victims of
this insurance iniquity, and we hope the
insurancy company will get worsted in
their designedly nefarious spoliatlon of the
honest settlers of North Dakota.

The Edgeley Mail says it is about time
n new boom was being inaugurated in
North Dakota coal. There is no reason
why North Dakota should continue to pay
tribute to the eastern coal barons when it
has such productive coal mines of its own.
Edgeley is within hundred miles of rich
coal deposits, and the day will come when
it will not be dependent upon legalized
robbers thousand miles away for its
supply of fuel.
The Nails suggestion is timely and per-
tinent. Mclean county is underlaid with
coal bed sufficiently extensive to supply
fuel to the whole state for hundred years.
Our coal is a superior article of Ignite and
is easy of access. With railroad facilities
the eastern portion of North Dakota, as
we'll as South Dakota, can be supple with
fuel at about one-half the present cost.

Bismarck Settler: A flying visit yester.
day to the Hess farm, three and one hall
miles east of town, furnished sight worth
seeing. About 100 acres of wheat ready
for the harvester, and such wheat! One
field of thirty acres on summer fallow
(Which had been manured) must yield be.
tween thirty and forty bushels per acre
another of twenty acres (corn and potato
ground) that is equally as good; some
breaking about the same; while spring
plowing, stubble seeding, and one field
plowed in, all give promise of yields OF
from fifteen to twenty-five bushels. Oats
we're not quite as promising-some smut
among them. Corn looks we'll, but will
require two weeks to put it out of the way
of frost. Potatoes and other vegetables
were looking fine and give promise of an
aboundant yield. Harvest is now in pro.
gress on the farm and small field of oats
cut last week will be threshed tomorrow
In driving out to this farm one passes the
Quinlan place which gives promise of an
excellent yield, and in returning by the
north road the MCGEE and Barney Flynn
farms show wheat and oats that make glad
the heart of the husbandman.

Bismarck's society people have been on
the qui vive for some time in anticipation
of the forthcoming marriage of Il couple
of the city's 400. Extensive preparations

for celebrating the event i'll a proper and

which took place last evening in due and
Frank Titus. The contracting parties
were Major Frederick Cornelius Hender-
shott, the "young and talented" local ed
itor of the Tribune and Miss Catherine
Corcoran, the charming daughter of Col.
Corcoran of Williamsport. The groom
has been connected with the Tribune for
the past year, and although only mere
boy-having never yet voted-he has
shown marked ability as a writer, and will
eventually write his autograph high on the
scroll of journalistic fame. By his quiet,
modest and unassuming manner he has
won for himself host of friends in the
capital city and state at large. The bride
is one of natures noblest creations. Her
pleasant ways and kindly disposition will
always beremembered by her many friends
and admirers. Father Martin performed
the marriage ceremony in accordance with
the rites Of the Catholic church. The bride
looked bewitching in white satin gown,
Demorest train, trimmed with point lace.
A wreath of orange blossoms and bridal
veil we're worn with becoming grace. Miss
Mabel Hunt and Mr.. Frank Titus officiated
as bridesmaid end groomsman. The pres
ents we're many and elegant. After the
ceremony had been performed the large
assemblage of friends sat down to reher-
che luncheon, after which the company
dispersed, wishing the happy couple long
life and happiness.
