A good smokehouse on any farm Is
n desirable thing to have, the great
difference between the price OF home
grown pork and store bacon making 1t
a paying job for every farmer TO smoke
his own meat, and especially for
home consumption. 1t is too expen-
siye. however, to have a well-arranged
smokchouse. as generally construct
cd. in all cases, and hence the reason
for pre- senting the novel affair shown
in the accompanying illustration.
As can be seen, it consists Of box
Of such size as is desired. only il

IL more convenient if three by five
feet square. The meat is inserted
through the door in the side, which
should be no less than 20 inches wide,
and hinged at the lower part SO as
TO let down from the top Hooks
should be fastened to 1t, and staples
driven into the sides and top Of the
box as indicated in the cut, to hold
the door in place when closed.
For hanging the meat, bore holes

not touch when hung. Pieces Of wire

ger hole, where stick then pushed
through the loop will hold the ham

The device should be built on slop-
ing ground. provided such is avail
able, for then the fire that is to fur
nish the smoke can be placed at the
proper distance from the box and yet

should he about two feet deep and at
least six feet away from the box.
The trench for the stovepipe should
not be over one-half as deep. and dug
so that the upper end Of the stove
pipe will come out under the box near
the center; an old elbow joint makes
this very easy to do. The pipe, Of

To The People of North Dakota

The state legislature having appro-
priated $4,000 for the purpose of setting
forth the " and advantages of
the state by an exhibit at the Pan
American Exposition at Buffalo, and
created a board of commissioners for
carrying out the provisions of the act,
the said commissioners respectfully ask
the assistance of the counties, cities,
towns, corporations, firms and the citi-
zens generally to the end that the state
may be creditably represented.
The appropriation is small for the
purpose desired, but with the valued as
sistance of the people the exhibit can be
amplifed so that all will have reason to
be gratifed at results attained and proud
of the showing made by "the Breadbas.
ket of the World"
Every product of the state should
have a place in the exhibit, the yield of
the field, the ranges, the mines, the fax
and wooden mills. the starch, sugar beet
and other factories, the religious and
educational advantages, the culture of
the homes. pleasure resorts. all these
and many more we desire to place before
the world showing the desirability of
the state as a home, for investment and
business enterprises.
To this end the several counties are
asked to contribute in such measure as
they may deem best, the coal men, the
stockmen, factory and mill men are in
yited to prepare exhibits beneficial to
them and the state. The several state
institutions are also requested to pre-
pare exhibits of work accomplished, and
private citizens having articles ~calculat.
ed to exemplify the culture of the home
or enterprise of their community are
urged to interest themselves in this
matter.
There are but six weeks before the
opening of the exposition and much is to
be done, SO all interesting themselves in
this matter are urged to be expeditions.
Parties having photographs of the
beauty spots in the state will confer a
favor by contributing them for use in
the printed matter, it being desirable to
show the state in its most attractive
features. If desired, all photos will be
returned uninjured.
The commissioners have decided to
offer a suitable cash prize for the best
design for a state button, watch charm,
or other souvenir, the idea being to dis
tribute this souvenir at tho exposition.
The design must be typical and distinc.
tive of the state, unique. yet so plain as
to be recognizable at a glance as North
Dakota'a emblem. Designs submitted
should also relate to the shape and ma.
terial of the token, the item of expense
being always kept in mind. Here is a
chance for the genius and artistic talent
Of the state and it is hoped a generous
response will be made. Address all
COMMUNICATIONS regarding exhibits OF
souvenir to F.. J. Turner, Secretary Pan
American Commission, Bismarck, N. D.
and mark on envelope containing designs
as above: designs for State Emblem
All designs must be in the hands of the
secretary on or before April /, 1901, wher
the commission will make the award.

David Bartlett, of Cooperstown, made
almost an ideal presiding officer for the
Senate, during the recent session. He
was uniformly fair and impartial in his
rulings. and was conceded to be
thoroughly informed as to parliament
airy practice. He enjoyed nothing SO
much as'one of the little fights over
rules of order, and never was disturbed
over such a small matter as a dozen OF
so substitute motions pending at one
time. We hope some day to see Mr.
Bartlett elevated to the highest position
at the disposal Of the people of this com
monwealth.

We always thought Hope was sufici-
emily blessed with lodges, but we will
confess that the latest thing here-the
Ancient Order of Buffaloes-is one which
we could not well do without. 1t GER
tainly has afforded more amusement
here than anything since the time of the
"Orientals" which is held aver now in
tender remembrance by some of our
most influential citizens. We have tried
it and can truthfully say that there is
nothing to it but pure unadulterated
fun-so don't hesitate if favored by
being asked to join. The Hope Lodge
of this order was instituted here last
Friday with L. A. jacobson as "Chief
Leg Elongator,"F.N N. Gilmore as "Grand
Dough Extractor and Doc Harper and
Sam Scott as "Herdsmen." The order
is in a very hourishing condition now.
having a membership of over seventy.

author, to see Jake headed off up the

a drove of Buffalo calves. They all en-
tered Beckerjecks Emporium, and soon
the roof began to shiyer under pressure
of the cries your it! your it," resouud-

Harper was "sprinkling salt" yet once

jock himself thinks it not to slow. There
is still room for a few more members be

Among the more prominent members
of the House none welded a more pow
erful influence than our Senior Repre-
sentative, M. B. Cassell. This is. clearly
evidenced by the positions which he held
being Chairman of the Ways and Means
Committee, and also a member of n Of
tho other most important committees,
viz, the Judiciary. Mr.. Cassell was a
power on the floor of the House, in de-
bate, and, in committee work. his
achievements were unexcelled. He was
also an acknowledged authority on the
rules Of parliamentary practice, and was
Speaker Pollock's main support through
out the session. He might properly be
termed the watchdog" of the Treasury,
for his efforts were always directed
against appropriation bills of question
able merit, andAother needless expendi-
ture of the states money. He waged a
successful battle against the big appro-
priation bin for wolf bounty, and sue
ceeded in reducing the expenditure for
clerk hire TO a sum much lower than at
any previous session. He is on record
as against the new apportionment bill
which makes the number of our legisla.
tors too great for this young state. To.
ward the close of the session he was &C.
corded the honor of the craftsmanship OF
the Steering committee which has final
action on all bills pending at that time
He was acknowledged by all to be just
and impartial. and was considerate of all
measures placed in his hands as com
mitteeman. but he always sought TO,
the merit of the bill, rather than to dc
| aome one a rarsona1 favor.

JUST FOR The GAME
Frank H. Peavey Tells Why
nillionaires Keep Working
Young Men with Brains are Hard
to Find and are in Great
Demand.

In a series OF articles IN the Saturday
Evening Post on "Why Millionaires
Can't Stop Making Money" a recent
contribution from the pen of Frank Fl.
Peavey appears.
Mr.. Peavey's name is almost a house
hold word through this section of the
state. as few indeed have not heard of
the "P. "" line of elevators of which he
is the head.
The caption of Mr.. Peavey's article is
Private Enterprise and Public Benefit"
from which the following is a part:
"a man is only fairly started on his
career when he reaches the age OF 40.
He is then only beginning to. find out
what is in him. to appreciate his own
powers, his points Of strength and weak
ness, and to learn the ropes in the big
play Of affairs. OF course, there are
marvels of early development, but it is
usually the exception when rank growth
produces good results. At so I confess
to feeling nay mettle more keenly than
ever before, and one of the most terrible
things I could think of would be quit.
ting the field of affairs and becoming
simply a spectator of the great contest
Of commerce and enterprise. .
"Here is the real point involved in
this question. From my observations it
is not the love of money that keeps the
millionaire toiling long after the slight
est selfish necessity for his labor has
vanished. It's the game! That is what
holds him. The money lover is the ex-
ception in this dBy-and a rare one, too.
The attraction is in the activity and ex-
element of the contest-not in the
thought of adding something to the for.
tund already large beyond the possibil-
tiles of personal use. Some political
economists may not regard this ae
wholly justifiable. It is not advanced
as a justification, but as an observation
upon human nature as it actually exists
1T should be remembered that wealth
is comparative, and that the millionaire
of today is no richer than was the pos.
SCISSOR of a modest fortune a decade ago
Many a rich man would cheerfully lay
down his burdens were it not for the
Sinking of his interests that would come
with the retirement Of his protection
until his associates should gain the eS.
perience and Judgment to take his place
and fill it. Then, too, the average cap,
tain of industry has a strong feeling OF
attachment for the army of employees
whose prosperity is linked with his OWE
but who are not endowed with his exc.
cutive ability.
"As to the getting out of tho way an6
giving the young man a chance, il
should be said that the young man car
crowd the old man out if he has better
stuff in him. Never was there such g
demand in all branches of commerce anc
enterprise for young men to fill big
places as right now. Men with only legi
and arms are to be had cheap and ir
great numbers, but those who are caba
BILE of grasping large affairs are not t.

On this kind of young men the retiring
millionaire may lean heavily"
