BANDITS IN CORSICA.

1t seems that in Corsica you Sc
cure your personal safety by keeping
a bandit. In an article in the Ma
tional Review Basil Thompson ex-
plains that the tax of supporting
bandit is not without its compensa-
tons. Bandits are a hidden power
in the country. They control the
petty elections; they menace those
who are hostile to their friends. Thus,
while the existence of six hundred OF
them is real danger to public Sc
curitv, it is no small advantage to =
Corsican to be related to a bandit.
You support, you pay, protect the
bandit; and in return he places his
gun at your disposal. 1t is an ex-
change of services. "He has a ban
dit in the service" is a common ex-
preston. Are you in debt? The
bandit will gain you time. Are you
disputing the ownership of property
The bandit will show your opponent
he is wrong. Have you land on

THE STORY OF A GEM.
At the Weddell house there Is a
horseman staying. That horseman
has an emerald the size of a thumnail
and the emerald has history. He
bears the gem on his black necktle,
and this is its story Back in 40 he
was coachman between Sacramento
and San Francisco. His partner had
a beautiful pin, an emerald of great
size. surrounded with diamonds. The
man at the Weddell house wanted the
pin and finally traded with his part
ner. giving a team of horses IN ex-
change. He then took the pin to a
San Francisco jeweler and asked his
opinion. The jeweler smiled as he
| looked at the stone, took a little tool
out and detached the emerald from
the setting. 1t proved to be two pieces
of glassed cemented together with a
piece of green paper between. The
man who owned the pin was mad. He
was also flush, as he told the jeweler
to put in an emerald to match the
glass III size and color and it was done
at an expense of seven hundred dol
lars.
The partner who cheated his friend
liked to bet on sure thing, and fixed
it up with a pal to bet the owner OF
the pin that it was false. They all
met in the barroom at San Francisco,
and the pal said to the supposed dupe:
Jim, you like that pin you got III a
trade with Abe, but I'll bet its nc
good"
Jim acted the indignant, said his
own partner would not cheat him, and
offered a modest bet.
''Taint' nuff,' said the pal MAKE
it an even $500 and I'll go you"
oh" said Jim carelessly, If you
want a big bet make it clean S1,UCO
and put up the dust"
The money was staked and the
whole crowd went out to a jewelry
store up the street The pin was pre-
sented and pronounced one of the
finest emeralds on the Pacific slope
Abe nearly dropped in his tracks, fol
he furnished the money secretly to his
pal, and the other poor fellow who
made the bet was paralyzed.
There must be some mistake" he
said: lets try another jeweler
They did, and the verdict of the
second expert was that the stone was
genuine jim pocketed the thousand
and said quietly to his partner: ABE
Pm just $500 ahead on that little dea
of yours I'm going to open a few
bottles of champagne for the boys

Mandan Pioneer: When there is

Mandan Pioneer: When there is a
demand for brick in Mahdan and the thriv-
ing towns up the line there is an ample,
almost inexhaustible supply of clay, not
only in close proximity of Mandan but in
other parts of Morton county, suitable for
the manufacture of ordinary building
brick, for fire bricks and bricks of superb
or quality for decorative work. All the
brick wanted in Morton county can be
made right in her own limits. There are
also large quantities of pottery clay and
clay for fine terra Gotta. There are in
Mandan upwards of dozen dwellings and
business block, the Northern Pacific
passenger depot, the several buildings
comprising the railroad shops, the Pioneer
-tbaauek, and the roller mill all built from
native brick burned in the city limits from
clay obtained within one and half miles
of tn kilns.' The Manufacture of brick
will be begun early in the spring for
another large business block which is to
be erected the coming season.

The "market and crop review" of the
Western Rural contains the following.
The pork packing of the west for the
week was $4,000 hogs, against 625, 600 for
the The GO corresponding n week in 1891, and
1,625,0O0 for the corresponding time In
1891-a decrease of 100000, or over 40
per cent.
If the shrinkage in the hog crop con-
tinues it will not be long before of restric-
tive measures bv foreign governments
affecting its importation, will be of little
practical value. If our North Dakota
farmers would pay little more attention
to the hog industry it would be sheckles in
their pockets.-BismarckS Settler.

Fargo Commonwealth: The latest in
formation from Bismarck is that the re-
publicans will have six majority on joint
ballot, counting all as republicans who
have affiliated with that party IN the past.
Taking into consideration the fact that
Jud LaMoure, Harry Oliver, Bailey Fuller
and Others were elected by democratic and
independent votes, and are said to have
made pledges, and also the fact that the
republicans leaders will follow out the
precedent of two years ago, and refrain
from going into caucus, they have little or
no hope of electlng their senator.

Knold when questioned, admitted receiving
letters from Herr Most. He said Most's
instructions were very pointed, and he
issued strict orders to destroy all letters
written by him. This is the reason the
police are unable to get much evidence
against any of the prisoners.
It il more than probable that Herr Most
will be arrested, as Knold has said the only
way Bergman could have received his ah-
