A STORY OF DAN RICE.

The Great Clown bid Not Forget the

One story Of Dan Rice, the veteran
circus clown, illustrates his strict sense
Of honesty and gratitude for favors.
Once he was stranded in Cincinnati.

tent and could not raise money to buy
one. The tent Rice needed would be
worth $4,000. The manager Of tent
cuxlcern sent for the clown one morn

He turned away, with sigh.
Fine tent, dent you think?" asked
the canvas maker.
Rice looked back at it over his shoul-
der, with another deep sigh.

Rice was like playful kitten in an
instant.
II believe there is lot Of money in
you yet," said the canvas man. "You
take that tent and start your show,
and if you ever get money enough to
pay me for it the price is $780,
Within two weeks Rice was on the
road with a show and began success.
full career. For Is years he never re-
ferred to the tent, although he often
met the man who made it. One after
noon he asked the tent man to be his
guest at one of his shows, then in Gin

Rice remarked:

THE BABY's LITTLE JOKE.
1T Worried the Fat Man, but He Tried
to Enjoy 1t.

1t Worried the Fat Man, but He Tried
to Enjoy 1t.
1t happened in one of the late trains.
Everybody was trying to get to sleep,
and when the voice Of baby was sud
denly lifted up in robust wall it was
not met with expressions Of joy. 1t
cried steadily from Spring Garden
street to Columbia avenue. Then it
accidentally dropped pasteboard box
1t had. A very stout and, like his kind,
very affable man across the aisle
stopped heavily and picked it up.
The child stopped crying as it took
1t and promptly dropped it again. The
man, thinking it an accident, picked
it up once more. This time the baby
actually smiled, and as he threw it
down audibly cooed with delight. The
man looked distinctly uncomfortable
and became interested in something
outside the window. The child looked
at the box moment, then at the man,
and, seeing nothing else, resumed his
wall, with much added wind. The
look Of despair resettled on the face of
the woman with the headache, and she
gave convulsive shudder as she felt
her head beginning to jump.
She gave one awful glance at the
baby and then leaned over to the stout
man, back Of whom she was sitting.
"My dear sir" said she, II have vio-
lent headache, and am in misery.
Won't you please pick up that box
again?" And with a highly artificial
smile he complied. Out Of pure cour-
tesy he became box lifting autom-
atom, his piles of adipose making each
stoop come harder. But when he wip-
ed the perspiration from his brow and
staggered out Of the car at German
town he got grateful smile from the
afflicted woman, as well as every other
passenger, that he felt paid him.

Imuch Of that section of the state

learning the conditions Of the
Icountry and the people. The re-
port he gives is a rosy one, and it
will interest almost every Duluth

''The farmers are seeding in the
northern part of the state" said
lsMr. Reynolds .'and, everything is
|sa month ahead Of what it is here.
The country is magnificent with
its acres after acres of fine cult
waited land. There was very little
snow last winter, but they say this
Twill not affect the land or leave it
dry this summer, because it was in
such fine shape last fall. It did
not need heavy snow. Within
a week seeding will be general all
over the state.
''The immigration into North
Dakota is something enormous.
It is estimated in we'll informed
and conservative quarters that
$4,000 people will go into the state
this year. They are not a poor
class Of, people: but experienced
farmers. They come from other
states in this country than from
foreign lands. New York, the
the New England states, Michigan,
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa and many
other states are sending large
numbers Of people there. They
are not poor people either, but
have money. They buy improved
farms rather than take government
land and they have the means to
work them properly. Many Of the
people going in there seem to be
old farmers who have moved out
there to give their boys start in
new and growing country. Lands
have advanced until double and
even triple the price for which
they could have been bought a
few years ago is paid. Still they
do not stop advancing. The North
Dakota man may have had hard
siege in the past, but it looks as
though his days of waiting had
been rewarded.
"Most of the people seem to be
going in toward the terminus Of
the Minneapolis and Sault Ste.
Marie line, and around New Rock
ford, Darlington and other points.
When / was going out there the
500 line ran a train Of five sections
because of the large travel of i'm
migrants. The Northern Pacific
also had trains of two and three
sections. At one place I saw two
carloads dropped out of the train,
all immigrants. There is no
doubt that North Dakota is on the
eve of a great growth and Duluth
people ought to be mighty glad to
see it,"
