Fear Grasshoppers.

Anxiety is felt in some sections O:
the state over the small amount OF
fall plowing that has been done. Last
summer there were evidences of grass
hoppers in many sections of the state
especially in the valley, and it is
feared that the pests have deposited
eggs which will hatch out next sum
mer and cause untold damage unless
the soil is plowed this fall and the
eggs thrown up to the surface to be
frozen this winter. Outside of the Red
river valley two or three counties were
badly infested by grasshoppers and
the pests were so distributed as to
cause lots of trouble If the eggs are
permitted to develop.

agree to sell 100000 acres for $3.50, 900
and relinquish all rights to a recog-

of $4,000, the payments to be $145,000
after ratification and 100000 a year

who has been working for months to
bring about this treaty, believes this
reservation will be ready for settlers
next spring and that there will be a
great rush for slice of this rich soil.
The reservation is tributary to Devils
Lake and the town will enjoy a great
boom.

North Dakota the best record of any

DAMAGE BY FLOODS.
North Carolina Suffers Loss of Four
 Millions.

Atlanta, Ga, September 26.-A Consti- tuition special from Raleigh, N. C., says:
 State Forester William s. Ashe, who at the request of the United States Sec retary of Agriculture has investigated the effect of the great freshets of May and August on farm lands in western North Carolina, says he finds that the damage in the State amounts to about s4. 900, GOO and that half of this is in the valley of the Catawba river.
 In this county, he says, many miles Of rich river bottom near the bends are cut down to hardpan or covered deep with sand, and where the soil Is gone the de- struction is absolute and irreparable. The belief of the mountain people that the water spouted out of the mountain side is correct, and not mere superstition or fancy says MT. Ashe. The cause is sim pie enough. Each spring has, of course, it's duct which ordinarily is not full, but during and after these great rains these ducts become so gorged with water un- der high pressure from the height that it simply burst its way through the earth at some point of least resistance above the spring.

chIcago's Merchant Prince.

From Ainslee's Magazine.
 Marshal Field is the prince of merchant princes Unquestionably he Is the richest man in Chicago. His enormous wealth cannot be correctly estimated because it has been invested in such a variety of en- terprises. It is believed that at least s25,- 100000 has been invested by him in Eng fish manufacturing establishments alone. He is the man to whom we pay s3 for lower berth when we ride in Pullman car, and in many of the great industrial and manufacturing enterprises of Chica- go he is the guiding and controlling spirit.
 If the story of his life could be writ ten in detail, dealing successively, step by step, with his wonderful rise in the mer- cantile world, 1t would constitute one of the most interesting of all American bi- ographies. He is the marvel of all Ameri- can business life, and his story would be a lesson to the business community of the world. But MT. Field Is not a communi cative man. He is easy of access if one has business with him, but unless he has changed his mind recently, his biography as merchant prince will never be writ ten.

"PLUTARCH'S LIVES,"
Roosevelt's Favorlte Book, and He
 Likes Corn Beef and Cabbage.

From the New York World.
 Those who have studied President Roosevelt at close range tell interesting stories of his personality.
 He is a tireless reader of books and on his long railroad trips invariably carries from three to six volumes in his grip. But the side pocket of his travelling coat always holds one stoutly-bound, well thumbed book. It is an ancient copy of "Plutarch's Lives, the Presidents favor ite work.
 On campaign tours and pleasure jaunts he takes a daily half-hour dose of Plu- tarch, enjoying every minute of 1t.
 like everything that's good in litera- ture," said the President when asked to explain his preferences, but my Plu- tarch holds first place. I've read this musty little volume close upon a thous- and times l guess, but 1t is ever new. I simply can't get too much of it.'
 Not one physical characteristic is more prominent in President Roosevelts make up than his short bristling mustache that has been called "belligerent." The secret of the bristling lies largely in the fact that President Roosevelt habitually brushes it against the grain.
 His short muscular fingers never go to his upper lip but to stroke the long-suf- fering mustache the wrongn way. Be- tween thumb and forefinger every hair Is turned from it's natural angle and stands erect and threatening
 President Roosevelt Is blessed with an appetite that reflects his strenuous outdoor life. Although accustomed to dainty fare and inured to costly banquets his taste runs on homely lines.
 An observer diScoVered the Roosevelt preference one cold winters day after a trying Journey of hours with the then Governor, cross-country, with the snow deep.
 Seated at table with an elaborate ho- tel bill of fare before him Colonel Roose- welt ordered 'corned beef and cabbage"
 Its my standby" he announced glee- fully to the man at his elbow. ''Fit for king, and they cant bring 1t any too quick or too much of it."
 Democratic training of children is one of President Roosevelts pet hobbies. He does not hesitate to put his theories into practice.
 Every little Roosevelt is taught that one man Is better than another only when he is the more honest, stronger and braver.
 John Hall Is President Roosevelts s family coachman yet MT. Halls children attend the same school as the junior Roosevelts, studying in the same classes and sharing the one lunch.
 "Old Tom" Is an aged negro in charge of the Roosevelts barnyard at Layanora Hill. But when "Old Tom" reported one day last summer that Teddy" Jr., had tried the lasso on some choice spring chickens Colonel Roosevelt handed him a long lashed whip.
 'Lay 1t on, Tom, good and hard" said he. It's about time that Master Teddy recognized your supreme authority in this barnyard."

churchIess Berlin.
London Leader.

London Leader.
 According to statistics published by the ecclesiastical authorities there are only SS,712 church sittings in Berlin.
 As Berlin Is a city with nearly one mill lion and three-quarters of inhabitants the probability is that there is no other Protestant city in the world where the disproportion between population and church accomm odation is so great.
 The Empress has recently done much to provide new churches in congested districts, but the population is growing at rate far in excess of the church building.
 Owing to the enormous size of their parishes Berlin clergymen are greatly overworked. According to statistics some of them have to attend to the spiritual needs of over 5000 persons.
 Another curious report mentioned in the report from which I quote is that 10 per cent of the total baptisms registered in Berlin were those of illegitimate child ren, and as large numbers of illegitimate children are not baptised it follows that the total number must be much greater than 100000

London, September 26.-Joseph Law renee, member of Parliament for the Monmouth district, who recently re- turned from the United States, address ing the Newport Chamber of Commerce today made the most interesting and comprehensive statement of the cause of American superiority in the steel trade which has yet been provided for the alarmed British public and business circles.
 He told his audience that Charles M. Schwab assured him the steel trust could deliver steel billets in England for s16.5o per ton whereas the lowest price for which British manufacturers could make them was Sl9 MT Schwab asserted that the trust had completed certain ocean transportation arrangements by which the American price would be still lowered. He cited invaluable data that carried conviction with his argument showing that the American product can

Poetry To Be Avoided.
From the Louisville Times.

From the Louisville Times.
 Boys, don't read poetry to the girls. There isn't one in ten who appreciates it. They will rave over The rose is red. the violet blue," etc., but when you deal them out some huge chunks of real good verse, with the brand blown in and the trademark, Apollo being led to the cooler by the Muses," they stick their fans before their faces, sigh and wake up when you finish. Many a promising young man has ruined his life by read ing poetry to the wrong girl Her father overhears him, perhaps, and thinks: Darn it, that sort of stuff ain't going to keep the wolf from the door," But he Is mistaken. I have heard lots of poems that I would guarantee to keep him away eternally.
 One of our poets who has not taken out a regular license from the Sinking Fund read some soulful songs on the ocean to a dear girl he was edging up to- They were all about the wild waves, gray skies and so on.
