Hope Progress: The era Of pros
perity has indeed reached North
Dakota. There is not town, a
community or solitary farm with
in the bounds of the state which
does not feel it's influence. It is
evidenced upon every hand. The
price of farm lands is rapidly ad-
vancing, the farmers products
command a fairly good price, mer-
chants are selling more and better
goods than ever before, and every
business interest isenlivened as it
has never been before. North
Dakota is all right, and every sue
ceeding day adds to her lustre, in
the way Of progress and stability.
We should all be proud Of our
young state.

Two slips by Dickens.

Mr.. Marcus Stone, the English artist,
was when young man much associated
with Dickens as an illustrator of "Our
Mutual Friend and of "Great Expeo-
tations." He notes that Dickens char
acters were so positively real to him
that the artists never had the least diff
Guilty in learning all about them from
him.
When," says Mr.. Stone, ST had to
go to him and get instructions and hints
as to the characters I had to draw, l al
ways got clear and definite answer,
except on two occasions You will re-
member that Silas Wegg, in Our Mu-
tual Friend, had a wooden leg. l asked
Dickens which leg it was. He gave me
an answer which turned out to be
wrong. The other occasion was this:
When he was discussing the cover of
the story, he said that one of the scenes
in it should be the death of Eugene
Raeburn. You will remember that Eu-
gene Raeburn does not die. His creator
relented at the last moment and allowed
him to live"
Anthony Trollope, the artist says,
was just the reverse of this. "He did
not seem to take anything like the same
interest in his characters as Dickens.
When would ask him question about
one of his characters, his answer nearly
always was, I don't know Had the
young lady fair hair or darkP' would
ask. L don't know was the replv.

DURING the examination by the COM
mittee from the Board of Freeholders into
the method of committing tramps to jail,
the justices asked whether the Freehold
ers' actions were free from criticism and
whether the county would not be bene-
fitted by an investigation on that line.
The inquiry was not directed at the mem
bers of the committee but to the entire
Board. 1t is possible the inquiry of the
justices may be pertinent, albeit the result
would not justify them in their acts. If
they have any grounds for investigating
the official acts of any member of the
Board let them speak out. When charge
was made against Director Mathis he
courted investigation, and there may be
others like him. At any rate while the
spirit of reform and investigation appears
to be the order, let us have it in the full
est sense.

Friendship versus Cash.

When "Our Mutual Friend" was
published, highly laudatory notice OF
the book appeared in leading journal,
which was written by Mr.. x, an ao-
quaintance of Dickens and very clever
man, who has been dead for many
years. Mr.. x. wrote to inform Dickens
of the service which he had rendered
him, and not only did he receive a
grateful, not to say gushing, reply, but
the author was SO delighted with the
timely lift which his book had been ia
vored with that he presented the re-
viewer with the manuscript of the
work, which Mr.. K. afterward, it seems,
sold for e250.
Anthony Trollope had a stormy dis
cussion with Dickens at London din
ner party about the transaction, assert
ing with characteristic vehemenoe that
Mr.. K. was wrong to inform Dickens
that he had written the review; that
Dickens was much to blame for having
taken any notice of his letter, and that
the gift of the manuscript should Meth
er have been offered nor accepted, as ii
was practically bribery and corruption.

when Gunpowder We. New.


A curious feature about this evolu-
tion in methods of hunting was the
hesitation with which gunpowder was
taken up by the great mobiles. Not only
did it take quite century to familiar
ize hunters with it, but the evidence
that has come down to us shows that
the humble classes were the first to use
it for shooting game. Macmillan, ar
dent sportsman that he was, tells us
himself that he could shoot farther and
with greater accuracy with his crossbow
than his keeper could with the fire tube.
To prove this he tells us the we'll
known story of certain channels stand
ing at distance of 200 fathoms, which,
after being pronounced as too far off by
his henchman, who was armed with
one of the first sporting firearms men,
toned in print, comes tumbling down,
pierced at the first attempt, by the en-
peror's bolt.
From other sources we learn of strict
measures being adopted to prevent
poachers and "wood loafers'' using fire.
arms, and this at period when princes
still used the cumbrous crossbow and
spear. 1t was only in the last quarter
of the sixteenth century that firearms
had ousted other weapons for certain
forms of the chase, the deer battue be-

How TO deal with the tramp question
is no new problem, and although there
was no idea it had been solved in this
county, there was hope that it had at
least been put in such shape that there
would not be a necessity of entering a
protest on the ground of abuse. Yet it
has again turned up-in different phase,
to be sure, but the same old tramp ques
ton. How to remedy the situation will
be discussed and possibly some means
may be devised whereby the robbery of
the people may be stopped. Several
methods suggest themselves. The fees
ly" might be made uniform. Then it
would make no difference under which
head the commitment occur. Another
plan would be to reduce the rate for prison
board. There is no doubt that the tramps
receive better treatment here than in any
other locality. Of course it would not be
possible, nor would it be right, to consid-
er this point during the term of the pres
ent encumDent, but 1t would be eminent
ly proper to announce to the candidate for
Sheriff next fall that he may expect re-
duction in the item of board of prisoners.
Camden county has done much to correct
the tramp evil, but the result has not
been beneficial to Burlington, as the
tramps come right over the boundary in
to our midst. We can do something to
rid us of an unmitigated nuisance. The
people of the various townships can take
hold of the matter in decided and eff
fectual manner and refuse to elect officers
whose desire to get fees outweighs all
consideration of the peoples rights. And
there is no better place to begin than right
here in the township of Northampton,
where the term of the constables expire
next spring.

teachers in New Jersey are not in keeping

can the average be increased? At present
each municipality fixes its own scale Of
compensation. The question is as to how
this can be influenced by the State with
out trespassing on Home Rule preroga-
tives 1t might be done, perhaps, by a
new system under which the State should
contribute literally to the teachers sal
