Communicated
To the young men and boys of Bottineau
and vicinity:
Everyone will acknowledge that there
is a great lack for d pleasant way of pass
ing away leisure hours with the young
men and boys of Bottineau and vicinity.
l would suggest that they form a gymnas-
ium club at B%ottineau. with a library at
tached for the convenience of members,
and the library to be free to all ladies
The same members could form a boating
regatta at Fish Lake. What b tier way
of enjoyment than on the cool water for
either boys or girls? There is at present
a hotel at Fish Lake where a party going
out for enjoyment can have every accom-
mediation. 1t is monotonous here, day in
and day out, seeing no pleasure unless
probably a drive behind some poor. jaded
horse. and the boys nave no exercise like
what they would have in a gymnasium. If
there are any persons in Bot,ineau who
would favor a gymnasium and library. l
would be pleased to hear from them.
Hoping that this will meet with the ap-
prevail of the boys of Bottineau and vicin
ity. l remain.
Yours respectfully,
VIM. GEO. CRozIER.

Every word he utters seems to have in
It the flavor of sanctity. fear our Jep-
3on is a sad dog, and that he will remain
so despite all our efforts to get him out
OF the nire and make him presentable. !"
When my father thus ended, I as
founded him with succession Of roars
of laughter. As soon as / could COM
mand my tongue 1 said: "My dear fa-
ther congratulate me upon nv sagacitv
and the success OF my efforts! Under the
name Of Rawson you have been talking
with Jepson for the last two hours, not
the old Jepson, but the new Jepson that
have constructed from the ragged rem
nants Of the man we picked up on the
street q few hours ago-thc Jepson we
shall hereafter. know"
My father declared that the rehabilita-
ton of Jepson constituted the most re-
markable transformation he had ever
seen or heard of. After l had given him
my report Of Jepson's cG@auct and reso-
lutiors my father was reesdy to swear by
him. He said he would have Jepson
hypnotized in order to keep him in his
new and approved shape. This he actC-
ally did the very next day, Jepson freely
asserting to the operation.
My father afterward told me with a
cunning chuckle that he had given the
hypnotizel So extra and instructed him
to 'sglve it to Jepson good and strong on
the drinking business, and also to hit
hiTl heavy On his bump of religion and
bring him squarely back into the fold of
God"
Jepson was not lazy. He set to work
at once on the genealogy and in two
days had made all the notes herequired.
Arranging credits for Jepson at certain
places, we then left New York for Pas
onagessit. The caskets containing the
ashes Of our ancestors and the tomb
stones were to remain at the undertak-
er's until sent for.
When we came to take leave of Jepson,
he announced TO us that with the changed
course he had taken in life he had de-
cided to change his name. He said his
mothers maiden name was Mowbrayv silG
that his fall name was Walter Mowbray
Jepson. He wished to drop the Jepson,
which he had carried through so many
years of disgrace and misery. He begged
Us never again to address him by his old
name of Jepson, unless we found him
drunk. Herceforward lie desired to be
known only as Walter Mowbray.
TO this we readily assented, and from
that hour it was down Jepson and up
Mowbray.' Eis lardlady revcr heard the
name of Jereon. To her and al tie new
acQuaintances he made in New York he
was "Eev. Mr. Mowbray," the "rerer-

My father thought he should have con-
siderably enlarged upon the puissancc of
this old thane, seeing that he consti-
tutcd the very taproot Of the johnson
family tree.
After tracing the history of the John
sons during the days of their wealth and
power, the orator came to where they
were overtaIen by 1nisfortuncs through
being involved in costly litigation, in
augurated by needy lawyers and greedy
neighbors. This brought him to Sir Ar
chibald Johnson, my grcat-great-grand-
father-by importation, He said that,
harassed by litigiors neighbors and re-
duced to comparative poverty, Sir Ar
chibald at last in Ills cid age determined
to seek a home in the new world. He
would bid an eternal farewell to n coun-
try wherein he had suffered so much at
the hands of avaricious and unprincipled
persons. With what corld be saved
from the wreck of his fortune he sent
his only son, Walter Johnson, to Amer
lea, intending to follow as soon as n
place of shelter was found for him in
one of the New England settlements.
But misfortune attended the family in
the new world as well as in the old.
Before Walter was able to permanent
ly establish himself and send for his par
ents Lady Eleanor died. Soon after Sir
Archibald fell i'll. When informed that
his sickness was likely to terminate fa-
tally, he dictated letter to his son Wal
ter in which he made it his dying request
that as soon as possible his remains
should be taken to America for pcrma-
nent burial. He could not endure that
even his bones should lie in u country
where he had suffered SO much and
among people who had so prosecuted
him.

The Old Mans Sorrow.

!"You have a daughter, have you not,
sir2" said a minister to an old gentle
man with whom he had formed a casual
acquaintance as fellow passenger.
The old gentleman essayed to answer,
but the question had strangely affected
him.
"I beg your pardon" said the minis
ter, "if I have thoughtlessly awakened
in your mind recollections Of painful
nature. The world is full of sorrow,
sir, and perhaps my question recalls to
your memory a fair, beautiful girl,
whose blossoming young life had with
cred in it's bloom. Am I right, sirI"
"No, not exactly" replied the old gen.
tleman sadly; "I have five unmarried
darters, mister, and the youngest of the
lot is 20 years old."-London Tit-Bits.

CHAPTER TX.
REV, WALTER MOWBRAY-FUNERALo ORA
TIAN AND CEREMONIES.


Leaving my father engaged in making
his many improvements in his plot of
ground in the Pasonagessit cemetery,
aided by the friendly counsel of Rev.
Nantucket Sperm, Captain Shrimp and
half the village besides, ] went up to
New York to look after Rev. Walter
Mowbray.
I found him in excellent health and
spirits. He was so improved in appear
ance that l hardly knew him. Both
face md form had pumped out, and he
had {. we'll to O'Clock. The man actual
ly looked 10 years younger than when |
had last seen him. He informed me that
he felt nothing but disgust for all kinds
of liquors and for mis- former course in
life. He said this feeling was so marked
and decided that he was confident it was
due to his having been hypnotized, and
added: "Your father was right in what
he did. 1t has made my new course easy
for me-indeed my easiest course"
He had finished the funeral oration to
his entire satisfaction and was anxious
to deliver it. 1t had been labor of love
with him.
Not only was he glad of an opportuni-
ty of pleasing and obliging my father,
but also of the chance afforded for MAX
ing his exit from his former life in a man
ner so conspicuous and decided. At his
first step he would rise to respectability.
All being thus favorable, l wrote and
informed my father that he might safely
announce in Pasonagessit that on the oc-
casion of the reinterment of the ashes Of
our ancestors there would be discourse,
historical and explanatory, by Rev. Wal
ter Mowbray, clergyman of English
descent who had travelled in many lands,
and who had been for few months 30
iourning in New York.
My next care was to provide for my
resurrected minister q new suit from
cop to toe as fine as could be made in
the city. In this suit he might safely
have ascended any pulpit in the Union
and would have been pronounced cler-
gyman of most distinguished appear
ance. Not only was he now a imam of
God" in outward appearance, but also
inwardly--at heart.
Indeed he ore day informed me, with
tears of JOY in his eyes, of what he
thought a strange phenomenon if not an
actual miracle wrought in his case.
This was the fact that all his old reli-

Origin of the Ballet.

AS long ago as the middle of the six
teenth century the ballet was in exist
ence in Italy, where it was so popular
that members of the royal family and
mobiles took part in it. The ballet was
first introduced in France in the reign
of Louis XIII, and both that monarch
and Louis XVI occasionally took part in
its dances. In its earliest presentation
the ballet appeared dexterously in COM
bination with the other theatrical acts.
About the year 100 women made their
first appearance in the ballet, which up
to that time had been performed e1clu-
sively by men, as was the case also with
plays and operas, but no woman ballet
dancer of any note appeared until 1880,
or about century ago.-Exchange.

What Was Done.

During Stonewall Jackson's campaign
in the Shenandoah valley it became nec-
essary that a bridge over small creek
should be built in great haste. One
evening Jackson sent for his old pioneer
captain, Meyers by name, and pointed
out to him the urgency Of the occasion,
saying that he would send him the plan
Of his colonel of engineers as soon as it
was done. Next morning Jackson rode
down to Captain Meyers quarters, and
saluting the veteran said, Captain, did
you get the plan of the bridge from
Colonel -"
"Well," said the captain, 'the bridge,
general, is built, but don't know
whether the picture is done OF notr'-

WAITER JEPsoS HEHABIL1TATED.

WALTER U-4I.SNjnN GGLELAGLLltAIED.
When Walter Jepson arrived at the
hotel, we Goqk him to our rooms and out.
lined to him the work we expected him
to undertake. He was delighted with
the proposal. That those who were to
appear as central figures in bis discourse
had been persons Of rank and title gave
him great satisfaction, as 1t seemed to
him that the circuu stance would at
once lift him cut Of the slough OF
despord" and elevate him to decent
position among his kind. Ee looked
upon The ''nobIe remains, as he respect
::e.lIly called the bones and ashes Of our
ancestors, as great windfall-a perfect
godsend to him. He said it seemed to
be what he had all his life been waiting
for"
The opportunity at last so unexpect-
ej1y presented to pull himself up to his
CORNER level OF respectability appeared
20 rive him far more pleasure than did
my fathers assurance that he would re-
ceiye $500 in case OF his work being per-
formed IN satisfactory manner.
Afterthe matter Of the funeral Grafton
had been sufficiently discussed I took
Jepson il charge and sailed forth with
him. Ny father was left behind to study
the genealogical record Of the Johnson
family, an occupation in which he was
capable Of becoming so deeply absorbed
as to become utterly oblivious of all
other earthly things. He handled the
huge parchment'with more reverential
care than he would have bestowed upon
the most sacred relic in the Holy City.
Ny first care was 10 take Jepson to a
good restaurant and. give him meal
such as he had probably not eaten il, FIVE
years. After ne had eaten his fill he de-
clared that he felt so well he was glad ]
nad refused. him the zone drink" for
which ne had at first asked.
Next took him to q secondhand
clothing store and rigged him out in a
full suit Of ministerial c;!t and color that
was almost rs good as new; also pro
cured for him q good supply of linen and
underwear to be sent TO an address he
would presently leave at the store.
This done. I marched lny man to bar
Der shop and had clean sweep made OF
vhe shaggy beard that covered his face,
also caused lis hair to be cut il the latest
:sashion. This done, he was given bath
q regular scrubbing-arrayed in lis
cle-ical suit and again placed in the bar
5cr's chair for a final polishing.
When al was done, Jepson became a
dne, benevolent looking old gentleman.

Iy they witnessed many striking changes
of the outward man among their many

Presently the proprietor Of the shop
edged up to me. He could no longer re-
strain his consuming curiosity. Point
ing toward Jepson with his chin as he
wiped his hands on a towel, he asked,

among the Pahranagats, at the head
waters Of the Amargoso-the "bitter
river" He has but recently escaped
from some years Of close captivity, in
which he was held by old Twosocks,
chief Of the Chawenerav-s."
''Good God." cried the barber, "and
30 this establishment belongs the credit
Of having restored him to the decencies
Of ciyiliZa5ion!"
ETy next care was to secure board and
lodging for Jepson in some quiet place.
Twas glad to see that he was everywhere
at once taken to be minister. Curiously
enough. as soon as he had donned the
ministerial garb he also put on what was
DroD2bly his old time ministerial man,
ner.
When I had arranged for all else,
told him I would provide for his obtain

believe that you are determined not tt

mo, sir. If feel chat I must go bacl
to my OLD miserable life, I shall take of
these clothes and come and bidyou good

In the evening 7 took Jepson to the ho
tel and introduced him to my father a.
Rev. Mr. Rawson Of Now Jersey. The
two old gentlemen we're soon engaged II

the evening paper,

Eleanor. The psUedo Rev. Rawsor
seemed much interested in everything
and had much to say il praise Of my ia

and intentions.

and took his leave. Almost IS soon al
