ways to some hidden prize.
 Winter calico" parties are popular and are given by nearly all the socia clubs. The children who attend these dress in rural costumes and the dances are the Virginia Reel" s1old Dar Tucker" and the old-fashioned square dances.
 Why, it may be asked, has the mod ern children's party resolved itsel1 into a ball pure and simple? It may be answered by the observation that city parents have come tc believe that this is the best medium for teaching the child natural grace and the etiquette of, good society. It is surprising tc regular attendants at the dancing schools. The training which they get here is considered merely as neces sary part of their education.
 Clever entertainers of children are in almost constant demand both among the family clubs and in private homes; but to be successful the entertainer must be full of new ideas and be apt in, making use of them. Experience has proven that for very young chil. dren new games are the most taking "It is pleasing" said Mrs. Foster, the well-known Chicago entertainer, "hoM readily, under the right, sort of man. agement, the child adapts itself to cir. cumstances and catches the idea whicE one is endeavoring to. impress upon it.
 If, however, one wishes dancing fo1 the little tots the Dolls Grand March, and the Dance of the Dunees'i should not be omitted. Both are very pleasing. In the latter the children wear dunce caps and any dance which has a pretty figure may be utilized The cake walk and other fancy dances when given by very young children are always much more delightful ane amusing than when given by adults.

Edwards entertains the highest re- gard for her, and as prince of Wales consulted her whenever he encoun- tered difficulties. There was saidA to be no woman of whose judgment he had higher opinion. The countess had many enemies at court, however, and it is supposed that the king lis tened to. their counsel, as since his ac- cession he has ignored his old-time friend. The countess shocked British society few years ago by opening a lace shop in Bond street, London, but according to the latest reports she has sold her lace and lingerie business and retired from trade. She is now devoting her time and her fine talents to promoting the education and we'll fare of country working girls. A rich dowager, whose name thus far has been kept secret, gave her $5oo,0 to carry on this work. The countess is establishing schools, homes and boarding houses for the girls, where they are safe and enjoy many ad- yantages.

FISH-CATCHING BIRDS.
And Other Birds That Purloin Their
Hafd.BaFned Prey from
Them.

So much to see, if you have eyes 70
see, there is not a moment that some
thing wonderful does not take place.
At the juncture of the thoroughfare
and island lake, on dead pine, more
than a hundred feet high, sat white
headed eagle, says Forest and Stream.
In the air a large fish-hawk was sailing
over the water, looking for his dinner
two or three hundred feet below him.
What penetrating orbs of vision nature
has endowed this bird with. There, he
gives his lightning like shot to the wa

reappear with four-pound pike in his
talons. Slowly he rises. going toward

well-earned meal; but he has reckoned
without his host. The king of birds
has been watching his every movement.
and il found successful is in readiness
to exact that tribute which the strong
er always demands and compels from
the weak.
Almost as quick as thought the eagle
is pursuing the hawk, and for little
while a merry chase it is. But the
eagle is the master, and the hawk in
stinctively feels it, as, after sudden,
violent swerve, only just to evade the
terrible claws of the now enraged
eagle, he drops the prize and slowly
flies to the other side of the lake.
There is no need for haste now, as
the master was after tribute, not the
hawk. Payment having been made by
relinquishing valuable property the
eagle once more displays his wonder
full activity by catching the pike before
it strikes the water, and then as leisure

81. Paul, Jan. 1.-THE largest real
estate transaction ever made ia the
northwest was closed yesterday by Fl. A.
Hunter, Of the Hunter -Windle com oany
OF minneapolis, by which the Northern
Pacific Railway company disposess of the
entire remaining portion of it's federal
land grant of 1864, lying between the
Missouri and James rivers in North Da-
kota, amounting to ! 100000 acres,
The lands, about, 2,344 square miles,
are included in tract covering about
9'ooo square miles. They have been
bought by syndicate composed of Car
los Boynton, capitalist: William Hoerr
president of the Citizens National bank
ana L. Patterson, a prominent whole
SAFER, all OF Mankato, and the L. S.. Hack
ney Land company of st. Paul. -
Ihe purchase price runs into millions
OF dollars, but Mr.. Hackney stated last
night that the syndicate is not vet ready
to announce the exact figures. The .op-
1lon on the lands, mainly agricultural
ana grazing, was given Nov. 27, 1900, the
Nortnern Pacifc's interests being repre-.
sented by F. W. Wilsey, general east
ern land agent. The option was covered
Yesterday and deeds to the land will be
given as soon as the company can incor-
porate. The tracts taken up lie in Stuts-
man, Logan, Kidder, Burleigh, Mcintosh,
Mclean y and Emmons. counties, with
scattering townships in adjacent coun-
TIES. The sale includes portions of $50
townships.
Inc transfer has been two years in
progress and has been under considera-
ton IN the Northern Pacific directorate
on several different occasions. The terms
were not arranged until the option was
given last November. It practically
creams up the entire holdings of the
Northern Pacific between the Missouri
river and the great lakes, with the ex-
ceptlon Of the st. Paul & Duluth grant.
1t exceeds the recent Weyerhauser syn
olcate timber purchase by 100000 acres.
Ihe tracts bonght are wild lands and
include some of the finest ranch property
IN the west, abounding in water and
meadows. Arrangements for settlement
will be made shortly, and Mr.. Hackney
stated last night that colonization with
immigrants from adjoining and eastern
states will be pushed with energy. He
showed applications from more than 700
families wishing new homes along the
Missouri. The lands will be placed on
the market by the Hackney Land COM
pany. The sale exceeds i'll acreage the
1898 purchase of Northern Pacific lands
by local land company and the more
recent sale to a land and colonization
company. New branch lines of railway
protected by the Northern Pacific will be
put through the transferred grant this
year. ~ "a
