started straightway for the Pacific coast. Other men were taking claims, getting shot and cut all to pieces, and accommodating more or less gold dust. meanwhile, but Claus was not of speculative turn of mind at that par tieular period of his life. American dash and enterprise had not then made any impression on his German thrift and caution. Therefore, while adven- turous spirits were out in the mountains fighting and digging like wildcats, Claus was content to resume his white apron and corner grocery, which he did in San Francisco. Money was plenti- sul and profit were large. Claus saw his bank account grow day by day. He sent to Germany for his brothers and they came ln the next ship.
 Then Spreclxels and his brothers bought an interest in a brewery Their bank account grew larger than ever, and when Claus was offered something like seventy-tive thousand dollars for his interest i'll the brewery he accepted the money and invested in sugar re- fnery. The refinery was doing large and profitable business Claus thought the matter over, and concluded that the refinery should be his. He set about to get it. The stockholders ob- jeeted to his business methods, where upon he bought them out In the course of time Spreckles got the re- fnery, roof and all. For German in wooden shoes, he was getting along amazingly He took a wife, working s..1 1 I language.
 About twenty years ago Spreckels made his first voyage to Honolulu, the source of his sugar supply. He had beaten down all opposition in the United States. Sprecl1els, at this time, was rolling ill wealth. He had found something better than gold mine, a brewery or a corner grocery. 1t costs a large sum of money to establish a sugar plantation on the Sandwich islands, because every foot of land must be irri- gated. Spreelk1es looked over the field and was somewhat dismayed. It would require a mint to buy out the planters, many of whom are Ger, mans, like himself, and equally as shrewd and ambitious. He found ten thousand acres of land, however, low, connecting two mountain regions. and considered useless. He leased this barren waste from Kalalaua for song and went to work. There was plenty of water in the mountains, twenty miles away He dug canal fourteen feet wide and three feet deep, built aqucducts. blasted thirty tunnels through solid rock, and got water to his desert at cost of something like $500, 900. He founded town, calling it Spreclzelsville. He maeadamized

 How much custom has to dc with corum! Although New York is not at all squeemish in matters ofspublic be- havior and morals, the appearance of a remarkably pretty young woman on Fifth avenue the other day, dressed in an accordion pleated chine silk skirt and bright red chiffon bodice, cut square in the neck and with elbow sleeves, was too much for some ardent mammas and papas who happened to be on the avenue at the time and wit messed the lovely vision.
 An indignation meeting was called by one of these good women. who felt responsible for an attempt to keep de ceney within recognizab limits, and the assembly sought by earnest conyer- sation and exchange of ideas to better this condition of things.
 In the midst of the hot discussion. just when the seeretaryis lead pencils had almost given out. the daughter of one of the most ardent reformers rode up on her bicycle and called out:
 s'See, mother? I have thrown away my skirt-am going to wear knielzer- lockers after this. Good byia and away she rode, her bright red stockings ap- bearing alarmingly wicked to the shocked eyes of the naatrons gazing after her.
 The result of this startling picture upon the meeting was that all the min utes were wiped out with one swoop of the pencil and the following lines sub stituted:
 Resolved, that hereafter all costumes for street wear must be high in the neck as well as long on the legs.

Colts and Bronchos,

COlC6 anu brOncnOS.
The colts and bronchos had an exciting
game at the ball park Monday. Up to
the sixth inning, the interest was intense,
the score standing Z to 6, in favor of the
colts, with the bronchos at the bat. At
this time, however, several of them were
suffering from bad spavins, and although
they struck the ball savagely, they were
crippled too badly to u the bases.
The colts took the pasture, at the
opening of the game, five of them being
allowed to run loose, and four being
picketed in the field. The kite track
was a little bad for the bronchos in the
first inning, and they were shut out with
out a tally. It took some time to round
up the bronchos when they were to be
pastured, but it was accomplished after
awhile, and the colts took the ms,
scoring two or three runs. The
bronchos improved as the game
progressed, and in the following
two or three innings hammered out
several runs, to the great delight Of the
spectators, whose sympathy was all with
the range horses. The next inning or
two we're hard fought ones, the two
teams running neck and neck, with the
colts about a nose ahead. The bronchos,
however, were short winded, from too
much grass and too little exercise, and
in the last three innings the colts Sc
cured a lead Of seven runs, which they
kept till the game closed.
A dark horse from Moorhead was put
in the field by the bronchos about the
third inning, and made a good showing,
but he few the track just as the team
was coming into the stretch, and had to.
be replaced with a green hors , who

Midsummer.
SLAUGHTER, June %, 1896.

It has been customary since the estab.
lishment of the Lutheran faith in Swe-
den to designate and set aside the Oath
day of June in each year, as a day of
worship and thanksgiving. This custom
has been in vogue in that country for
upwards of four hundred years, and it is
but a natural consequence that the day
is appropriately observed here, where
the majority of the residents are lineal
descendant sof the upper European pen
lnsula.
Midsummer day, as it is commonly
called, was a day set aside for the pur-
pose of concentrating the advent of
John the Baptist" from whose time
dates from the beginning of a new era in
Christendom diverging somewhat from
forms adopted and held sacred by an
clients, who up to that time were entirely
guided by the law as laid down to them
by Moses, their acknowledged leader.
As early as nine o'clock teams began
to arrive at the Swedish Lutheran church,
the place designated as the most con-
venient place to hold the exercises, and
by ten O'clock there were over three
hundred persons assembled. At 1890
the exercises were begun by the usual
devotional ceremonies by Rev. J. E.
Ship, present pastor of the Swedish
Lutheran church, of Bismarck. The
music for the occasion was furnished by
the choir of the Swedish Lutheran Young
Peoples society, of Bismarck, assisted
by Mrs. G. Spitz as organist; Rev. Ship
acting as musical director. The selec-
tions were exceptionally we'll rendered
and great credit is due them. After the
services were concluded preparations
we're made for a bountiful repast, nearly
all in attendance having brought with
them edibles, which, after. having been
spread out, were indeed tempting.
When everyone han partaken heartily of
all the delicacies put before them, the
tables were cleared and an auction was
announced for the purpose of raising
funds with which to further prosecute
the finishing up of the church which is
as yet incomplete.
There were mat tendance q goodly
number from Bismarck, Painted Woods
and Mclean county, which goes to show
the great interest manifested in behalf
of religious work and the ultimate COM
pletion of as handsome a church edifice
as can be found in the state of North
Dakota. LOUIS HANSON.

A Seaside Idyl.

She was romantic maiden of 10 sum-
mers in yachting cap, flannel suit and
white canvas shoes.
The manly youth who sat by her side
wore white yachting cap, serge coat,
negligee shirt, white duck trousers, turned
up at the bottom, and yachting shoes.
They were gazing on the silent sea,
which lay like molten silver in the NOON
light, crossed and recrossed at intervals by
the specterlike sails of coasters and pleas
ure boats.
1t was an hour, an hour for love,
For love and calm delight,
And tho moon looked down from her realm
above
With smilingieye that night
They sat in blissful silence. 1t was not
q time for speech. Nevertheless the
thoughts of the heart will find their way to
the lips If they are given half chance.
The maiden gently broke the silence
with whisper:
