Seeding is finished in this vicinity
with the exception of some fax and

modern stove and stoyepipe, one
room separated from the other by
thick paper screens ornamented with
grotesque drawings or poems, and
the screens shutting off the veranda
were lattice frames covered with rice
paper in order to admit light to the
room when they are closed. These
push along on grooves, and if desired
the whole room can be exposed to
the open air.
In the rear and close to our room
are two pretty cascades coming down
the high hill, on whose summit stand
the great sh1ines.
Our names are written by us on
cards and are placed in rack down
stairs, and every one can see who are
the guests. Outside of treaty ports
it is impossible to travel or buy
railroad ticket or enter hotel with
out native passport.
A little maid enters, smiling and
bowling, bearing a tray with teapot
of hot tea and sweet rice cakes. 1t is
cool, and she makes fire, and clos
ing the screens we are in paper
house. During the evening the maid
frequently enters the room, replen-
ishes the fire, and as we retire she
brings in a pail of hot water.
About to fall asleep, amid the muir
muring of the waterfalls and the
booming of the great bronze temple
bell on the heights above us, a loud
pushing sound is heard outside, as of
blinds, and we can dimly see the out
side of our house is being also screen
ed in with wooden shutters, leaving
an inside passage about three feet
wide all the way round
During the night and in the early
morning the little maid again enters,
tucks in the bedclothes, makes the
fire, serves tea to us in bed, brings
more hot water, has the shoes pol
ished and placed by the fire to warm.
Soon after a rumbling sound is heard,
and the shutters are removed Ex-
change.

There are still few wild-eyed
populist editors who advocate gov
eminent ownership of railroads. Ii
they would stop and think for mo-
ment, they would realize that such
a purchase would not be accomp-
ished, unless the people Of this coun-
try desire to tax themselves and their
children's children forever to pay for
them. We hardly think they would
be willing to saddle any such octo-
pus upon themselves. The most of
them have too much sense to think of
givin g, their aid to any such suicidal
transaction. st. Peter Tribune.

A Verbatim Quotation.

A country clergyman kept young
servant lad. One Sunday morning
before service he gave him his orders
about the dinner and said:
"Go to Neighbor David and ask
him from me to let you have some
tripe on credit and then prepare me
a nice plateful."
The lad did as he was told, and the
clergyman went to conduct the serv-
ice. AS he stood in the pulpit he
called out in the middle Of his ser
mon:
"And on this subject, brethren,
what does David say?"
At that moment his little valet
stepped into the church, and in the
belief that his master was addressing
him he replied:
Please, sir, he says, No money,
no tripe -Baillage.

Dainty little ball of fur, sleek and round and
fat,
Yawning through the lazy hours, some ones
household cat.
Lying on bed of down decked in ribbons gay,
What pleasant life you lead, whether night
or day!
Dining like an epicure from costly dish.
Served with what you like the best, chicken,
meat or fish,
Purring at an outstretched hand, knowing but
caresses-
Half the comforts of your life, pussy, no one
guesses.
Romping through the house at will, racing
down the hall,
Full of pretty, playful pranks, loved and
praised by ALL
choicest spot,
Favored little household puss, happy is your
lot.
Sleeping on my lady's lap or doing by the
CRATE,
Fed with catnip tea If i'll, what lucky fate
Loved in life and mourned in death and stuffed
maybe at that,
And kept upon mantelshelf-dear pet cat.
Creeping down the alleyway like q ghost of
want,
Kicked and beat by thoughtless boys bent on
cruel play,
What a sorry life you lead, whether night or
dayl
Hunting after crusts and crumbs, gnawing
meatless bones;
Trembling at a human step, fearing bricks and
stones;
Shrinking at an outstretchcd hand, knowing
only blows
Wretched little beggar cat born to suffer woes.
Stealing to an open door, craving food and
heat;
Frightened off with angry cries and broomed
into the street;
Tortured, teased and chased by dogs through
the lonely night
Homeless little beggar cat. sorry is your plight.
Sleeping anywhere you can in the rain and
snow, n
Waiting in the cold, gray dawn, wondering
where to go;
Dying in the street at last, starved to death at
that;
Picked up by the scavenger-poor tramp cat, !

Supt Macintosh was doing bust
ness in town Friday.
Mrs. P. J. McNally, of Chokio,
was a guest of the Northcotts the fore
part Of the week.
Mr.. G. j. Samuelson, through us,
wishes the editor of the TRIBUNE to
send his valuable paper commencing
June LIST, to his address, Adelaide,
Mimi. Mr.. S. is one Of our most sub
stantial and wide-awake citizens of
this county, although living in the ex-
treme corner, and we introduce him
with our hearty recommendation.
Mr.. Andrew Fritch spoke at the
school entertainment in District No.
38, on prohibition; which was very eff
fective. He speaks right out from
the shoulder and means every word.
The other evening, registered at
the little canvass Hotel de Green, we
noticed two prominent names from
Morris, James Pearce and Henry
Leaman. They said they came out
to investigate our electric light sys
tenn and claim to- have such a system
in Morris, and get good deal OF re-
Election from the poles when the moon
shines.
The Misses Whicher and Fowler,
Of Elroy, Wis, arrived in Morris last
Wednesday and are guests of the
Northcotts. They intend to make an
extended visit, pleasantly exploring
Stevens and Big Stone counties; also
part of the Dakotas.
Mrs. III. j. Northcott closed school
in District No. 48 on Monday last,
and the entertainment given in even
ing was qualification of marked sue
cess to the teacher, the pupils and in
fact everyone in the district. The
program was neatly arranged and the
productions magnificent AS a whole
it may be said that the town never
had such an opportunity to salty
that passion for noble amusement in
the history of its previous existence.
The military performance composed
of score of youngsters from 10 to II
years of age bearing arms in drill &C
cording to our latest tactics for real
action and military parade was
sight to behold and surprise to ALL
Among the recitatiors rendered, de-
serving of extra note, were those on
temperance by Miss Hafthorn of Be-
grade, and the teacher, also some of
comic nature by the latter. To
conclude the exercises everyone was
given an opportunity to remark,
which was responded to without de-
lay, and in fact twas hard to keep
more than one from speaking at the |
same time.

From Those of Her American Sisters.
Here is a description of night in
q Japanese hotel as written by Mr..
Lawrence Hurlburt: The duties Of
the maid are in decided contrast to
those of her American sister. AS we
approach, the ricAisha men set up a
shout; the street is soon alive with
old and young to see the arrivals.
Reaching the stone gateway, the rick
ishas halt, and the proprietor, walters
and bowling maids all come out to re-
ceive us.
The little yard is full of dwarf
trees and plants, clean paths, two
fountains of pure water, two little
streams with tiny cascades, q minia-
ture pond with islands in it and the
picturesque house just back of ALL
Carefully wiping our feetand putting
on thin cloth overshoes, we enter the
pretty house and pass through large
room covered with soft bamboo mats,
with a charcoal brazier glowing in
the center.
Going up stairs, we find the double
room as clean as wax and very arts

beams, the same soft mats, tiny

The general wish Of the people of
Stevens County regarding the super
intendency of schools, is that the
present incumbent, L. r. Macintosh,
be his own successor. He certainly
has made good officer and will, no
doubt, be nominated on the Republi-
can ticket, and such a nomination
practically means an election.

A Wonderful Muscular Feat That Is OF
Once Curious and Uncanny.

1
Once Curious and Uncanny.
The power Of continuing motion
less, with the lifted head projecting
forward for an indefinite time, is one
of the most wonderful of the serpent's
muscular feats, and is Of the highest
Importance to the animal both when
fascinating its victim and when MIN
licking some inanimate object, as, for
instance, the stem and bud of an
aquatic plant. Here it is only re-
ferred to on account of the effect it
produces on the human mind as en-
HANGING the serpent's strangeness
In this attitude, with the round, I'M
Winking eyes fixed on the beholder's
face, the effect may be very curious
and uncanny.
Ernest Granville, a South African
writer, thus describes his own ex-
perience. When boy he frequent
ly went out into the bush in quest of
game, and on one of these solitary
excursions he sat down to rest in the
shade of a willow on the bank of a
shallow stream. Sitting there, with
cheek resting on his hand, he fell in
to boyish reverie. After some time
he became aware in a vague way
that on the white sandy bottom of
the stream there was stretched a
long black line which had not been
there at first. He continued for some
time regarding it without recogniz-
ing what it was, but all at once, with
an inward shock, became fully con-
scious that he was looking at a large
snake.
Presently, without apparent mo-
ton, so softly and silently was it
done, the snake reared its head above
the surface and held it there erect
and still, with cleaning eyes fixed
on me in question of what [ was. 1t
flashed upon me then that it would
be a good opportunity to test the
power of the human eye on a snake,
and 1 set myself the task of looking
it down. TWAS foolish effort. The
bronze head and sineWy neck, about
which the water flowed without a
ripple, were as if carved in stone, and
the cruel unwinking eyes, with the
light coming and going in them, ap-
peared to glow the brighter the
longer ] looked. Gradually there
came over me a sensation of sicken-
ing fear, which if | had yielded to it
would have left me powerless to
move. But with a cry I leaped up.
and selling a fallen willow branch
attacked the reptile with a species of
fury. Probably the idea of the Icanti
originated in a similar experience of
some native"
The Icanti, it must be explained, is
a powerful and malignant being that
takes the form of a great serpent and
lies at night in some deep, dark pool,
and should a man incautiously APP
proach and look down into the water
he would be held there by the power
of the great, cleaning eyes and fin
ally drawn down against his will,
powerless and speeches., to disap-
pear forever in the black depths. II

Probably a Wrecker's Work.

not appear that it could be out of place
