A CLEVER CHINEE.
He Draws n Keen Comparison of His
Religion and Other
Peoples.

zone of the most brilliant men of my
acquaintance is Chinaman," said John
B. Galore, of New York, to Washing
ton Post reporter. "He has tea house
up in our metropolis, and he is scholar
as well as importer of the leaf. We were
talking about the Chinese imbrogiio
several days ago, and conversation
drifted from Boxers and the taking Of
Picking to the teachings of Confucius
He called attention to the fact that mis-
sionaries were trying to Christianize
native Chinese who cling to religion
which has stood the test 5000 years,
and had nearly 9Oo,OOo,Ooo followers,
while the Christian religion is scarcely
1000 years old with many followers Of
divided belief.
"sYou Christian believers remind
me- he explained, of the Chinaman
who stood on the river shore and
watched the moon rise over the hill. A
ray of sublime light came to him. 1t
was beautiful. His friends were sta
toned at other places and he called to
them to come quick and behold his own
beautiful ray of light. They replied
that they also followed beautiful rays
of light to the same moon. Fromwhat-
ever position they looked they caught
a ray equally as beautiful. That's the
way with religion, and especially yours.
You are looking at the light Of good
ness, emanating from the Divine
source, and each thinks he has monop-
oily, like the lone chinaman with his one
ray of light"

ALDERMAN AS DIVER.
Illinois City Father Inspects Bot
tom of Lake Michigan.
EmuIates the Noble Example of the
Famous MIR. McGinty, But IL
More Fortunate Than the
Hero of the Song.

The water works at Highland Park,
one of Chicago's prettiest suburbs,
have just received some extensive re-
pairs to the intake pipe, and upon
completion of the work the services
of submarine diver. not interested
in the contract, were necessary to in
spect the same.
Some of the members of the city
council smiled to themselves when
they informed Alderman L. 0. Van
Ripper that, as he was chairman of the
committee that approves such mat
tiers, it would be necessary for him
to put on the divers suit and inspect
the several hundred feet of pipe lying
beneath the chilly waters of Lake
Michigan. But the alderman did not
understand the joke that way and
readily consented and inspected the
pipe.
The accompanying sketch shows
Alderman Van Ripper about to be low
cred in 30 feet of water, at the crib,
half a mile from shore.
When asked to describe the sensa-
ton of being under water for 80 min
utes, the alderman said:
81 had no difficulty in breathing,
and could have stayed down much
longer if it had been necessary. The
only time felt distressed was when
Diver johnson weighted down my
back with 100 pounds of lead and one
of my feet with half that amount,
while I was hanging to the ladder of
the boat, which was being tossed
about pretty lively. After placing the
'sinkers' on my back the diving head
was screwed on and the air pump
started. Then began to feel full
ness in my ears, and when received
the signal to descend, which was given
by two thumps on the copper helmet,
it sounded to me as though they were
dealt with sledge hammer. l threw
myself backwards into the water and
began to descend. From that mo-
ment lost all thought of what was
going on above.
II could not realize at first that I
was under water. The lookout glass
became steamed up, and I felt as
though l was floating on the surface
until the light began to disappear. I
realized then that I could breathe,
and there was not the slightest feel

StOleFrank'S Horses

Word has been received here that
Frank Meade was recently swindled to
the tune of $1,000. On the nth of De.
cember, Frank shipped to eastern points
two cars Of horses that he had bought OF
Con. Hill. A fellow by the name of Jack
Joyce was taken along as shipper. Mr..
Meade has not returned home, so we are
unable to give minor particulars. The
shipping records at Dickinson show that
one car of the horses was billed in Joyce's
name and it is supposed that he took ad-
vantage of employer who had placed con.
hdence in him and disposed of a car of
the horses for a lump sum and left for
parts unknown. 1t is likely that Mr..
Meade went on ahead to advertise the
horses, which gave Joyce just the oppor-
tunity he wanted.
Very little is known Of Joyce here, for
he had been around only a few weeks.
1t is supposed he has a wife in Iowa, and
according to his glib talk it would ap-
pear that he had travelled with Buffalo
Bills show for several years.
The experience has cost Mr.. Meade
dearly and his Dickinson friends will re-
greet to learn a tricky fellow has gotten
away with his hard earned dollars.

North Dakota the Place for Sheep CROWN.

One reason why sheep raising and
wool growing are conducted so success
fully in the northwest, is that an arid or
semi-arid climate is best adapted to that
industry. Sheep like dry feeding and
bedding grounds which among other ad-
vantages afford immunity from ioot.rot
which is a most troublesome disease in
humid climates. They dislike we,ness.
Still another most desirable provision Of
our northwestern ranges is diversified
pasturage. 1t is true that on most rang
es buffalo grass predominates. which
will do lest tor winter subsistence, but
there is no kind of grazing stock which
SO relishes a variety of heritage as sheep.
Sheep will thrive best on a range where
are to be found thistles, shrubs, briars
and even %innocuous weeds, ~interspersed
with the native grasses, and the more
variety there is in the prairie grasses the
better the sheep like it. Almost any
verdant growth is %relishable forage for
sheep.-Stock Growers Journal.

To Owners of Stock.

Now that winter is upon US, l desire to
call attention to the fact Of the frosted
bit. Great pain and suffering are caused
by putting the frosted bit into the mouth
of a horse. If any one has any doubts
as to the effect, l would suggest that he
demonstrate upon himself by placing his
tongue on the blade of an axe or Ratchet
that has been exposed to the cold sufi-
GENTLY long to become thoroughly FROST
ed and note the effect.
+ To prevent all this, place the bit in
cold water Tor a little while prior to the
time of using, and all the frost will be
drown out. know there are some hu-
name drivers that take such needed pre-
caution, but very many never do.
Have a care, too, that your stable is
we'll lighted and the stalls kept dry and
clean with ample litter. See to it that
your cattle and horses are not exposed
to the cold winds and storms for the lack
of shelter. FRANCES c. HOLLEY,

|Bismark Starts Out on a New
Era. A New Order of Things
in the Sixth Judicial
District.

Bismarck Tribune, Dec, 26:-Two war
rants were issued Monday by Judge Win
chester of the district court for the arrest
of E. G. Patterson, under section 1887 Of
the penal code Of the state, which makes
it a misdemeanor to keep or allow to be
kept a place where gambling is conduct
ed. A warrant was issued, alleging that
the defendant kept such a place, and an
other that, he allowed such a place to be
kept in his building:
The complaint in the case was made
by George A. Joy and the papers we're
drawn up by Attorney A. T. Patterson.
The papers are after the same manner as
those in the case at Fargo where Judge
Pollock issued warrants for the arrest Of
FL. Berry and the seizure of the srou-
lette table, which was afterward destroy
ed. The law provides for the destruc-
ton of gambling apparatus seized after
the conviction of the dcfendent.
Mr.. Patterson appeared before Judge
Winchester today and asked for time to
plead and employ counsel. The cases
were set for January 3, 1901, and bail
was fixed at $500 in each case. MI. Pat
terson said he would not furnish bonds
but was ready to be committed to the
jail-and was committed to the custody
of the sheriff and is c~onstructively in jail.
He says he has no interest whatever IN
the gambling table that was seized.
A new departure has been taken in the
Sixth judicial district. Laws are to be
enforced and justice administered here
after regardless Of political alliances or
personal friendships. The Judge, the
sheriff, the states attorney, the mayor and
other old time associates may speak as
they pass by" in the future but the new
order of things will require no marked
fraternal demonstrations.
