Whefe Tigers Fear Men.
A cheerful place is Soraponjee. in In.
dia- The rainfall there often IL as
great in one afternoon in the rainy
season as It is In New York state in q
whole year. and tigers and leopards
are as plentiful as dogs are on New
York's east side. On account of the
tremendous dampness the cattle have
to be driven to the top of the hills, SO
that they shall not get their feet too
wet, and the tigers and leopards climb
to these high attitudes also. because
they are imbled with the kindly desire
to save those. cattle from pneumonia
and other ills by eating them carefully
and with due enjoyment.
AS there are no forests on the hills
the tigers proTl about all night in the
open, lying concealed during the day
In the limestone caves, the coal pits
and between the crevices of the rocks.
The residents come upon them in all
manner Of odd hooks and corners so
Unexpectedly that the beasts are as
much alarmed as themselves and usu-
ally scamper off In one direction. their
disturbers flying in the opposite one.
No one stirs out at nighttime without q
powerful lantern or torch. for. as q
rule, wild beasts will not come near q
light. though this rule does not hold
good In all cases.-New York Herald.

When jackson Gave an Order, 1t
WINS Obcyed to the Letter.
The following dialogue, current at
the time, between one of Stonewall
Jackson's soldiers and the provost
guard illustrates Jackson's tact at elud-
ing his enemy and also the obedience
rendered and the confidence reposed in
him by his troops.
The orders read on dress parade the
evening before Jackson left the valley
to take part in the seven days fight
around Richmond were that In case
the army moved before further orders
the answer from every soldier to any
and all questions except those connect
ed with the army shall be. II don't

guard found a soldier in a cherry tree
helping himself, when the following
took place:
"NVho are you?" demanded the guard.

"Where Is your commando"

"To what command do you belong?'

Boston's -Four Best Sayings.

A good deal is to be forgiven Colonel
Higginson in view Of his witty and
most admirable thrust at Henry James.
There are four mots upon which Bos-
ton particularly prides herself. Motley
made one of them, "Give me the luxu-
ries Of life, and l will dispense with its
necessities" Tom Appleton made an
other, "Good Americans, when they
die, go to Paris" A lady, name with
held, but quoted by Emerson, made
the third, "The consciousness Of being
perfectly we'll dressed gives a feeling
of inward tranquility which religion is
powerless to bestow." These three
have long been famous, but Higginson
matched the best Of them when he re-
marked, "Henry James has been called
a cosmopolitan, but he isn't, since a
cosmopolitan is a mar who is at home,
even in his own country."-New York
Mail and Express.

Extracts From Pheian's Letter

From one of ]. E. Phelan's recently
published letters the Press gives ex
tracts.
Speaking Of railroads, Mr.: Phelan says:
l believe that to day North Dakota
has as good cause for being satisfied with
the general railroad conditions as any
state in the union-all' things considered.
Every principle that the railroad COM
mission, assisted by the newspapers of
North Dakota, contended for two. years
ago, is to-day assured.
The present management otthe North
ern Pacific, in point ofpracticablc ability,
commands confidence and respect. The
same can be said of the c. M. & St. p.
and the 500 Line.
In commenting on the shipping bill,
Mr.. Phelan says:
The development of Oriental trade is
but n of the spokes in our wheel of
progress. The greatest benefit will go
to the Pacific Coast, ultimately to be one
of the best and wealthiest sections of
North America. Benefits in a degree
will be experienced here, we will witness
it, as the tide GIBBS and flows influencing
the current of the stream further inland,
less and less, in its aow-nothing to be
excited about, it is simply to be a part of
our every day life.
From a former letter Of Mr.. Phelan's
the following extracts are taken:
"The Hanna-Payne subsidy bill is a
means to an end; we need not jump at
its throat because it is o all that it
should be. If it does not help US all
that we should like, it must prove an in
dustrial advantage to our country, and
whatever benefits our country even in a
small degree adds lus,re to the flag and
brings wealth of coin and should to
every of u.s."
Then, again please:
"No American can dispute the benefit
to the nation at large, and especially to
the producing classes, of our expanding
export trade, and expand it must, with
the aggressive spirit OF the age, and the
enterprise and push of American intelli-
gence."
Again, one ore
"For my part, l am satisfied to trust
my interests to the gentlemen who have
shaped matters since VIM. Mckinley
stepped into the White House."
Once, again:
"No one should attempt to combat any
principle that may directly or indirectly
benefit the American farmer or ranch
man."
Mr.. Phelan quotes from Senator Han
mas New York banquet address, January
81, as follows:
"He said this question grows day by
day, year after year, and would soon be
greater than u citizens realize. He
said this nation had opportunities every
day, and must be alert to see that none
got lost. Commerce follows the flag,
hence the flag should be sent to all cor
ners. The door had been opened in
China; we should see that it is kept open.
We needed American ships to carry
American produce. Time has been
when American ships carried 90 per cent
of our trade, now they carry less than
8 per cent. People understanding the
proposed substituting OF ships know very
we'll, the senator said, that there is no
politics in it. There is only a desire to
benefit. He said that his measure would
be enacted into a law. 1t would be a
fitting climax to the era of prosperity
now blessing the land. Within ten years
the United States would have the grand
est fleet of merchant ships in the world.

Cattle Rustlers Should Be Prosecuted.

Laxity in prosecuting cattle rustlers in
North Dakota is probably the reason
why stock men are suffering from the
loss of stock at this time. In the vicinity
of Mandan ranchmen have lost a con-
siderable number of cattle the past two
years and the impression is that beef
contractors have finally become possess.
