CURIOSITY OF THE NATIVES.
We at last found refuge in a camel inn
Gilapidated and dirty beyond all imagin-
ing. But we could rest on the X ahu-the
inhabitants hibernating-and we had some
tea and such food remained from our
depleted stores. The audience that gathers
on such occasions might embarrass one not
Injured TO their close inspection. AS the
lunck-baskets were unpacked one man re-
marked-the language being perfectly in
telligible to Mrs. G., who spoke 1t
huently.
II know what comes next-the butter
the foreigners love of butter being to the
Chinese as inexplicable as most other west
ern tastes and habits.
He then explained TO his less enlightened
friends that he had seen foreigners eat be-
fore up at the WalI'-the Great Wall.
Every one has plate TO himself he
continued. land they take out a clean
white cloth and spread it on the ground.
Every one has a white cloth. too-a smaller
one-and everything is terribly clean"
The cleanliness of foreign houses and be-
lcngings is something of which the Chinese
always speak with a sort of admiring awe;
for they do admire it mothers. My COM
panion was missionary, and the man
asked her "if the other woman preached,
too?"
"Oh, no." he was told, "she is a writer
a much greater distinction in semi-civilized
China than it is in the west-"and she will
write of what she sees and 1t will be pub
lished. If you are polite she will write Of
that; If you are impolite she will write of
that also"
This made quite an impression on the I'M
invited company who knew we'll that they
were discourteous in gathering about the
door to watch strangers eat. They talked
together a few moments, and then asking
how far it was to my honorable country
they quietly withdrew, and we closed the
door and fastened it by propping a stool
against it. a very common method of "lock-
ing up for the night in a Chinese inn.
During this journey we visited a number
of Chinese houses, and in every one with
out single exception, We found two west
ern inventions-clocks and kerosene lamps,
at least two of each. The clocks did not
keep time, being evidently for ornament
and not for use. In two places we saw the
advertisement of American patent medi-
cines tackled on the wall among Chinese
notices from Confucius and in one house
small sewing machine. Sc, even in the
remote interior of China, western ideas are
penetrating. and western inventions are
being utilized. MARY III. KROIJT.

The Woman Who IL Not Clever.

Harper's Bazaar.
A woman who entertains a great deal
tells me that she is heart, brain, nerve
and soul weary Of clever people, and she
longs to know somebody who neither
writes, sings, recites, toots, fiddles, nor
even has ideas. She even proposes a toast
to the stupid people who do not intrude,
and to those who, while not stupid, often
pretend they are, for the sake of the quiet
and peace they know you Will appreciate.
Cleverness runs in families nowadays.
Even the household baby is hauled out az
deadly night hours to do his little turn,
and the grandmother Of the family Is
clever. All, a rare and satisfying person
to meet is the family woman WHO is not
clever; who makes no pretensions TO clev-
erness; who has not prepared a paper on
any of the burning questions of the hour.
For the sake of the workers in the great
world downtown, let me Quah the cup to
the health of the woman who Is satisfied to
stay at home and mend the stockings
and make pie and doughnuts and jelly
cake-make anything. in fact, provided she

Sufficient time having elapsed so that
the full effect of the various Christmas
presents had become apparent, one parent
said feelingly to the other:
I'll tell you what I'll do! I'll enter into
an agreement with you not to give any
horns or drums to your boy next Christmas
If you will promise not TO give any to
mine"
Mine didn't get any this Christmas"
was the reply.
"What?" exclaimed the aggrieved one.
mot a one. OF course, your boy brought
a nice big horn over TO the house for mine,
but he seemed TO prize it so highly himself
L thought ii shame to deprive him of it,
and so l persuaded him to take ii home
again. You've been listening to your own
horn"
Thus the treaty of peace was abrogated
even before ii was formally adopted.

auently the plan fen through; {.

quently the plan fell through; .Mr.
Tuttle went home feeling that he had
done what was best" Mr.. futile did
a good many things which are not
mentioned at all in the autobiography
of the convention. He stopped at the
hotel, he ate his meals and attended
the various other functions Of a beau
1tiful and well regulated life. That he
did not even a%lludeSto these we must
charge to his excessive modesty, that
quality, we might say characteristic,
which has led him at times resolutely
to renounce what he has felt to be a
heaven-born mission to seize the reins
of the universe in his firm grasp and
guide suns, planets, consultations and
other terrestrial bodies in such a man
ner through space that there should
come from the whole tangled scheme
of creation perfect order at last.
We merely allude to these things to
put Editor futile in the right light be-,
fore the people of Bismarck, who
might feel a little panied at the criti-
.cisms of Bismarck in this weeks issue
of the Pioneer. 1t is not because Ed
itor futile does not like Bismarck; it
is not because the green eye of jeal-
ousy occasionally obscures his vision;
it is not because he has grown astig-f
matte waiting for some living thing to
make its way down the long and inver-
tebrate backbone which serves Man
dan as a Main street; it is not that he
has grown h~ydrocephalic from the del
uges of water which have laved Man
dan spring after spring, gently ripping
through the streets and tapping the
long sidewalks with a sibilant
muir; it is not because o. any of these
things that Editor futile writes for the
Pioneer in disparagement of Bismarck.
1t is because he has grown hypercrit-
ical through constant travel through
Yurrup and Morton county. We urge
this imposing judgment, that no per-
son attach any weighty consideration
to the lucubrations of Mr.. Tuttle in the
Pioneer regarding the capital city.

The empty charges in the state fu-

emplified than in the resolutions relat-
ing to discrimination in favor of cor

iicans. To this the Valley City Times

resolutions of the democratic state
convention charges that the republi-
can party has Disseminated in state
matters in favor of corporations and
against the people. Is that so. Is it
not a fact that the state board Of
equalization, during the fusion admin
istration in 1884,, lowered the taxes
of the railroads. Is it not also a fact
that the republican state officials since
that time have steadily raised the rate
of assessment of the railways. We
think that both of these statements
are facts, and that it can be demon,
strated that the railroads pay a greater
tax now than at any time since state

ExcUsING EDITOR FUTILE.

Ever since Editor futile of the Man.
dan Pioneer went to Iurrup ne mas
been more than usually critical. He
saw so many things in Yurrup that
b e do not have in Mandan that it is
dificult for him to remain silent when.
there is an opportunity TO Clarity a per-.
picking situation by shedding some OF
the light he absorbed in his travels.
This p~redileotion of Editor Turtles has
been aggravated somewhat since he
went down TO Grand Forks and nomin--
ated the state ticket We know he nom
mated the state ticket, because upon
his return he printed a long article IN
the Mandan Pioneer telling just how
and why he did it. His description of
the convention was beautiful in its
simplicity and modesty. Modesty is an
attribute of the truly great. Editor
Tuttle's autobiography of the state
convention abounded in such trite and
impersonal little sayings as: Mr.. Tut
tie saw that Things were not going 70
suit the people," Mfr. futile cast
about him to see what was best to be
done for the state;," -lr. Turtle eau
cused and decided to name a ticket;
ttMr. Tuttle was appointed a committee
to make a slate; mr.. Tuttle then saw
that this would not dc" MI. futile
was opposed to this plan of procedure;
Mr.. futile caucused again and found
that he had the situation well in
hand; MI. Tutt1e held a final caucus
and saw that his strength was vast;
MI. futile perceived at once that this
was the thing to be done" MT. futile
grasped the situation in a moment;
But this was not pleasing to Mi. Tut
