wedding in the country the other day..
and kindly wrote an account of the
affair for his local paper. After the
wedding feast, the dominic writes in
the following very interesting fashion,.
"came music and dancing, in which all
participated, both old and young with.
out exception. Even the minister was
not exempt, for, in accordance with an.
old German custom, the bride insisted
on dancing with the officiating clergy
man, and in spite of all remonstrances
suddenly we felt ourselves hopping at a
2:4O gait across the room, whirling and
twirling, lunging and plunging, like the
angry waters Of Niagara, describing
wond erful circles in the air, and how we

The military reservations in North Da

fee has received notice from the gen.
eral land office that the Fort Stevenson
reservation on the Missouri river, north
of the city, has been turned over from
the war department to the interior de:
partment, and is to be thrown open fo1
settlement in the zeal future. The
Stevenson reservation comprises about
$4,000 acres of land, all of it a good av
erage of farming land. 1t is also well
timbered, although the most of the tim
Der is light. It will be some time yet
before the reservation Is ready for settle

land office.
Another order which has just been
issued from the interior department is
that all abandoned military reservations
and buildings be appraised and sold as
soon as possible. This will include the
Fort Lincoln reservation, and the ap-
polntment of appraisers will probably
be made ere long.

To be lei Here.


The governor has signed the bill
which fixes the place for holding SUI
preme court at Bismarck, and hereafter
all sessions will be held in the supreme
court chambers at the capitol. Hereto
fore, sessions have been held at Fargo,
and Grand Forks, as we'll as Bismarck,
and this practice has necessitated the
moving of many bulky records from one
place to another, at considerable expense
to the state, and Inconvenience to court
officers. The new law fixes the terms to
be held at Bismarck, where the records
are kept, where the state library is ac-
cessible, and where it is proper the
terms should be held.

Tunnels.

The Romans, who were great engi-
neere, excavated some remarkable tun-
nels for aqneducts, but it has been re-
served to the moderns to use them in
bodybuilding. One of the first was that
under the river Thames at London,
commenced in 1925, finished in 1843,
and for a while one of the worlds
supposed wonders. 1t has since been
ecllpsed by the Severn tunnel (also con
structed under a river) which is ~
miles long. The most noted railroad
tunnels are: st. Gothard, 81 miles;
Mount Gents, u miles, and the Hoosac,
AZ miles. The railway from Bologna to
Pistoga, across the Apprentices (Italy)
has forty-six tunnels in a distance of
sixty-two miles, equaled only by the
Black Forest railway Germany which
has twenty nine tunnels in fifteen miles,
n of which forms a complete letter
IS" The world now has eighty-six
canal tunnels, length sc miles; nine hun
dred and tifty-seven railway tunnels, POI
miles; eight s%ub-aqueous tunnels, 615
miles, and thirty-seven aqueducts, so
miles. North America has one hundred
and fifteen railroad tunnels, several of
them engineering works of great skill
and cost-but though the Burlington
Route has none of them, it's attractions
in the way of equipment, speed, safe
ty. and scenery are such that it is the
~favorite line with hundreds of thousands
of intelligent travellers between the great
cities of Chicago, ST. Louis, Denver,

Under the above heading the Fargo
Commonwealth tells all it knows about
a little social t1utter that has struck the
metropolis of the Jim amidships. It
says:
The arrest of Ed Mcbride at James.
town, for the alleged enticing of a 12-
year-old girl to a disreputable house in
that city, o bids fair to become a rich
social scandal. 1t appears that the girl
was in the habit of %frequenting the place
at which she was found when discovered
by her father, and that the woman at
whose house she was, is of a rather un-
savory character. Her father became
enraged and proceeded to put the alleged
enticer under arrest, and in order to do
it more effectively he had to also arrest
the woman charged with unnlng the
"resort." But she was not so easily
outwitted-aDd in order to get even with
her accusers-she proceeded to issue
warrants by the wholesale, and has up
to the present time issued no less than
t%h1rty-six warrants for ~frequenters of her
resort including some Of James,
towns most prominent business men, so
It's said. If something is not done to
pacify the rage of the "%insulted' woman
it is likely that the wholesale arrest will
be made, and some startling facts
brought to light about the faithful
"hubbys' of that beautiful little berg.
Owing to the popularity Of most OF the
parties interested, however. 1t is thought
that the matter will be hushed up. Al
though the girl is only IL years old, she
is said to be a tough character.

ASO ACAOs
The time for the city election will
soon be at hand. The people will again
be called upon to say by their votes who
they will choose as their public servants
for the coming year. Every taxpayer is
directly interested, and every voter
should exercise his constitutional right
in casting his vote for the best interests
of the city. Now that it is contemplated
to locate a military post here, and as
the city will be deeply interested in
bringing about that result, care should
be exercised in electing "good men and
true," who will be ever ready to serve
the city with fidelity and zeal. The
TRIBUNE has no candidates to urge and
has thus far heard Of none.

Grass Paving Blocks,

A new industry has recently been
started in Norfolk. 1t is plant for
the manufacture of paving blocks out
OF tibers of grass growing on salt water
marshes. The grass is subjected to a
heavy pressure, and large square blocks
come out of the press, when three
circular saws take hold of the block
and cut it into smaller blocks about
5h inches thick provided lengthwise
with strong wire. These blocks are
then subjected to bath in three differ
ent tanks of different kinds of oils,
which makes the fiber supple. The
Manufacturers Record is authority for
the statement that these blocks have
been tested for paving purposes in
Philadelphia for over a year on one
of the busiest streets near the stock
yards, and have, it is said, stood the
test remarkably well. They make
smooth, noiseless pavement, on which
it is claimed horses cannot slip. large
contracts for these paving blocks have
been secured in Pittsburgh and New
York. This plant, as now established,
turns out about 400 or 500 yards per
day of this paving, and the owners ex-
pect soon to enlarge it considerably.
Thus one more industry for the south
established.-St. Louis Republic

SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

I'm Salvador a genuine revival in
matters of public instruction seems to
have taken place. Mixed schools on the
American plan have been established
in many places.
"A large number of hymns and other
poems in Charles Wesley's handwriting
were recently found in pine Of old
documents at the Wesleyan Conference
Office in London. Many of the poems
are political and relate to the American
revolution.
That the Lords supper ought to be
real meal. and not a sham supper of
crumbs of bread and drops of wine, was
the radical proposition put before his
congregation by Rev. /. M. Gibson, of
Plattsburg, Mo-, a few days ago. And
it is stated that many of the congrega-
ton are heartily in favor of the innova-
ton.

THE WIND HARP.

Across each end of the box and on top
fasten a slat of oak or some other very
hard wood, a quarter of an inch wide.
In one of these Stats drive seven fiat
headed tacks equidistant from each
other, and in the other Stat fix the same
number of twisting screws, such as are
used on banjos. From these stretch
your strings, which should be all of the
same size and of catgut. The sc" gui-
tar string will be found the best for this
purpose. Now tune all the strings in
unison, and the harp is completed. 1t
is, however, well to add reflector to
throw out the sound. This is easily ac-
complished by placing thin board
above the box, supporting it on sticks
fitting into rests, which are glued in
the corners of the box. The reflector
also answers as shield to prevent in
jury to the harp.
Place the harp in a current of air, as
upon the sill OF a half open widow. The
sound produced by the wind passing
over the strings as it rises and falls is
of drowsy, lulling character and ex-
tremely melodious.-N. Y. Recorder.

said.
Really? Why?"

gether."
The mysterious room that held the
fortune teller was reached. The for
tune teller proved to be little figure in
the middle of disc.
Round the disc were figures and num-
bers and slips of paper arranged. Any
one who wanted to see into the future
paid a mark, set the figure revolving
and took the slip of paper opposite
which it stopped.
Nov, my genaediges fraulein," said
the captain, taking out his purse,
won't you try your luck?"
But Katharine refused positively to
be party to such nonsense, and, mas
much as Lii could not be persuaded,
either, the baron asked permission to
inquire of the oracle himself.
He set the figure in motion and took
the slip of paper opposite which it
stopped.
Seek her hand and buy the ring.
Thy life will then be full of joy" ran
the words on it.
The baron tried to catch a glance
from Lii, but she appeared to be alb
sorbed in the nature and character OF
the floor and would not raise her eyes.
"Potz Blitz!" cried the captain, turn
ing to Katharine, that is famous; you
really must be persuaded to try it now.
Or, shall do it for you?"
you may do it for me-" she replied,
in such sharp tones that everyone
looked at her.
The captain turned to the figure and
read the words: Hast thou not often
heard it said" He hesitated, then
tore the paper up and threw it on the
floor. The conclusion of the sentence
seemed to suit the many proposals that
Katharine had received too well for
him to read it.
What was the rest, captain?" asked
the baron, in all innocence. But the
captain looked so displeased that the
question was not pressed.
II wonder what it WASP" Lii whis-
pered to the baron.

piled. But did you get my New Years
card this morning?"

SMOKING HORSES.
How Indians Manage to Secure Mounts
When They Contemplate War.

HOW Indians Manage to Secure Mounts
When They Contemplate War.
A curious method Of obtaining horses
is practiced by some of the Indian
tribes. 1t is called on the plains "smok-
ing horses" If tribe decides to send
out war party, the first thing to be
thought of is whether there are enough
horses at hand to mount the warriors.
If, as is often the case, the horses of
the tribe have been stolen by other In
dians, they decide to "smoke" enough
horses for present needs and to steal
supply from their enemies at the first
opportunity. When this decision is
reached runner is dispatched to the
nearest friendly tribe with the mes
sage that on certain day they will be
visited by a number of young men,
forming war party from his tribe,
who require horses. On the appointed
day the warriors appear, stripped to the
waist. They march silently to the VIII
lage of their friends, seat themselves in
a circle, light their pipes and begin to
smoke, at the same time making their
wishes known in a sort of droning
chant.
Presently there is seen far out on the
plain a band of horsemen riding gayly
caparisoned steeds fully equipped for
war. These horsemen dash up to the
village and wheel about the band of
beggars sitting on the ground, in cir
TIL at last, they are as close as they can
get to the smokers without riding over
them. Then each rider selects the man
to whom he intends to present his pony,
and as he rides around, singing and
yelling, he lashes the bare back of the
man he has selected with the heavy
rawhide whip until the blood is seen to
should finch under the blows, he would
not get his horse, but would be sent
home on foot and in disgrace.
At last when the horsemen think
their friends have been made to pay
enough in suffering for their ponies,
each dismounts, places the bride in the
hand of the smoker he has selected, and
at the same time hands him the whip,
saying:
Here, beggar, is a pony for you to
ride, for which have left my mark
After all the ponies have been pre-
sented the 'beggars" are invited to a
grand feast, during which they are
treated with every consideration by
their hosts, who also load them with
food sufficient for their homeward jour-
ney. The braves depart with full stom-
achs and smarting Backs, but happy in
the possession of their ponies and in an
ticipation of the time when their
friends shall be in distress and shall
come to smoke horses with them

FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.
LITTLE THINGS.

One day q little acorn dropped
Down from its native tree.
And helpless lay upon the earth.
A tiny thing to see.
And looking up in sad surprise
To where 1t once did grow
1t said: TITS over now with mel
What can an acorn do?
But Mother Earth, to confo II,
Spoke softly, as II lay,
And turning DER, II fell asleep,
Its sorrow soothed away
Then gently DER it's title ,ed
She spread quilt of mold,
And there 1t slept through autumn rains
And SHOWS of winter celd.
But when the sun with cheering rays
Told of the warm, bright spring,
And Nature said to Mother Earth:
Come; now your treasures bringr"
The acorn heard the flowers talk.
And ope'd it's eyes to see,
And stretching out, 1t cracked its shell,
And grew into a tree.
There, sheltered in the forest shade.
In stately pride to stan1
noble oak-as grand a tree
AS grows in all the land!
Oh, children heed these little things,
Whatever they may be;
Remember-little boys make men!
An acorn makes tree.
