A NUMBER of people have ex-
pressed a desire to contribute
money to the Dickinson Hose Co.
for the purpose of purchasing ad-
ditional hose which is needed. The
company has 700 feet of hose, or
enough to reacha little more than
two blocks from the Northern
Pacific tracks where the supply OF
water is secured. 1t is not to be
expected that members of a volun-
teer fire company will go around
asking for contributions. 1t is
quite enough for its members to
do good service in saving proper
ty in times of fire with what appa-
ratus is at their command. But
if residents and those directly in
terested in property in Dickinson
wish to see the boys in possession
of facilities enabling them to
reach parts of town which could
not be reached with their present
supply of hose. and wish to help
with a few dollars, it will be re-
ceived by w. H. Walton, treasurer,
and properly acknowledged. The
company is we'll organized, having
members of good standing who

Sheep Owners Organize.

An important step for wool-growcrs
of this place az taken last saturday
evening, when the preliminary organi-
cation Of a sheep association vas
made. The industry here has become
in important one, and the retention
of the present tariff on wool is of vi.
tai Importance. The uncertainty con-
corning congressional action upon the
tariff on this product has. beyond a
doubt, been ono of tie agencies caus
ing decline in price of the wool pro-
duct; and in consequence OF these low
prices there is almost no sale for
stock sheep. 1t is believed, however,
| that by united effort among the sheep
growers of the several states in circu-
lating petitions, similar to the II
printed herewith, to be forwarded to
Congress, any action looking to the
removal of the tariff will be deferred.
At the meeting August 5, Edison G.
Dayton was chosen president and
John I.eask, secretary. The object of
the meeting was stated, and it was
moved and carried that q committee
of three be appointed to draw Il con-
stitution and bylaws. The following
were appointed: Edison G. Dayton, III.
l.. Dickinson and ID. S. I%ittlchales.
The secretary was instructed to cor
respond. with different state associa-
tjons for such information as would
help in the furtherancc OF this organi-
cation, and to circulate as widely rs
possible petitions headed as follows.

The Cut of the summer Skirt.

Skirts are getting wider and wider
and being worn and still more worn. Sc
exquisitely are these wide skirts cut that
the ordinary onlooker has no conception
of their real width unless lady should
daintily lift the hem of her gown and
raise it to arms length outward to he1
shoulder at each side as the skirt dancers
do those accordion plated arrangements
in which they delight, and yet leave
enough fullness to fall prettily to he1
feet.
Women of the past decade were igno-
rant of the art of cutting. Making was
the great thing in their day, and then tC
display the making, and the frills and
furbelows they distended their garments,
but now ideas have changed, and though
women may go in for full underskirts
when summer weather calls for light
ethereal fabrics they will never, never
wear crinoline again. 1t is bad enough
that they have their old friend, the foun,
dation, back again. Lining throughout
was SO much nicer. Fashions must
change, however, and no one could be SC
absurd as to suppose that WON n could
adopt the style and stick to it forever, as
some would like to do for convenience
and economy.
There is not one scrap of clumsiness
or bulkiness about the skirts. They fit
quite closely around the hips and are
really pretty and graceful.-London Cor.

The Use of Revolvers by Cavalry.

Few soldiers ever understood the Sc
cret of handling sluadrons better than
did Sheriden, Custer or Stuart. Natu-
rally enough, when there were no tradi-
tions to 90 upon and not much time for
training, men turned instinctively to the
weapon they were most accustomed to
and rarely used their sabers until they
had exhausted their supply of cartridges.
A charge carried through with decision
swept opposition away by its rush and
volume. Riders were endorsed and
chargers knocked over without the aid
of sword cuts, and men who had learned
to shoot on horseback made good prac-
tice with carbines or revolvers when
their foes had given way end were fly
ing before them. An American might,
in fact, be trusted to look after himself
uncommonly well in his own fashion.
twas Quantreil especially who showed
how much might be done in this way
and how completely cavalryman might

swordsman would be as much at a dis
count in an encounter with such oppo-
nents as the bravest Afghan or Zulu at
the muzzle of Martini. But the sue

stance affords no solid foundation for
theories as to its value for horsemen less
accustomed to its use.-London Saturday

The Power of the Mind.

1.-THE power of the mind to delude it
self is simply marvellous" said Darius
Names. ''How people conceive them
selves that certain actions of theirs or
state of thought move the infinite to
definite action is simply marvellous. Not
over year ago a friend of mine was
seized with a dangerous illness which
threatened his life and worse. He i'm
mediately was seized with remorse for
past offenses in the face of coming dis
solution and sought by prayers and Of
ferings to satisfy the wrath of the great
unknown. He became SO Overwrought
with worry that he was moved to tears
and on more than one occasion did vari-
Gus things which afterward in good
health he admitted were ludicrous and
idiotic. No change for the better came
for long time until change of physi-
clans was effected. Then he began to re-
gain health, and the sick was eventually
cured. That was not the best nor worst
of it all.
During his return journey to health
he attributed all his buoyant feelings
and recovery to the devotions of himself
and others offered to the Maker and
stated that the Lord must have guided
the second physician to him OF him to
the second physician-it didn't matter
much which, just so the Lord did it. l
talked with his physician afterward, and
we began discussing the cure and finally
drifted in the fellows religious revolu-
ton as related to his cure. The physician
figured out that he would have been
cured month sooner if he had rested
his mind and quit asking the Lord for
anything at all-or begging for divine
intercession. Ibelieve my friend agrees
with that opinion now, but you see just
how far well balanced mind can really
delude itself. st. Louis Globe-Demo-

Big Winnings on a Small Stake

A group of men were standing in the
office of one of the leading hotelsrecently,
and the talk turned to gambling and
gamblers. One of the party, fine look
ing, portly man, with a rubicund coun-
tenance, said:
"What l am going to relate took place
in New Orleans in 1868. A neatly dressed,
quiet hammered fellow accosted me in the
office of the st. Charles hotel and wanted
to borrow $50. He was Charles Coree, a
Frenchman and high roller at faro.
He had been in New Orleans week and
had gone broke He said he felt like he
could win if l could only lend him a
stake After some persuasion I let him
have the money, with the understanding
that was to have half of his winnings,
and that as soon as he had won enough
to take care of himself he should pull
out my half. thought no more about
the matter, and after reading little
while went to my room and went tc
sleep.
"About 1 o'clock in the morning boy
came to my room, woke me up and hand
ed me package. 1t contained 5000 and
d nOLc IlOih SoIee say ing IL was MY Hail
of the winnings, and that could take it
or send it back to be played on as chose.
thought $500 on $50 investment was
pretty good, SO 1 put the money in my
pocket and decided to let well enough
alone. The first thing heard the next
morning was that Coree had won $4,000.
He kept on playing and in "a hours had
won, all told $4,000, | did not see him
for a good many years after that, and
when l met him again he had plenty of
money. The second meeting was our
last, and have not heard q word from
him since. louisville Courier-Journal.
