How Corpses Travel at sen

IN touching on this gruesome subject
of the disposition and Transportation of
bodies, we wonder how many Of our
readers who may chance to see great
oox holsted on traans-Atlantic steam

tory, are aware that it contains a hui
man body. Yet such is the fact-and
IN such a manner does the entry ap-
pear on the ships manifest. Sailors
nave long abandoned the superstition
against sailing with such an ''item''
among the cargo; but passengers
most OF them pleasure seekers-are al
ways bathed in gloom at such re-
m1nder that man is mortal. Hence the
delicate euphimism.

The Smallest Monarch.

The smallest monarch in the world is
woman, Who reigns over the Hindoo
state of Bhopaul and governs more
than 100000 souls. Her name is Dill
han-Begum, and, while she is nearly
fifty years old, she is hardly as large
as the average child Of ten. She is a,
firm, just ruler, however, and holds the
reins of government with better judg-
ment than most of the men who govern
adjoining states. 49,

Quality of Ranch Horses.

It has been evident for good many
years that the quality of ranch horses
is improving. The introduction onto
the range of high bred stations has
had marked effect. The ranch owners
a dozen years ago saw the need of i'm
proving the quality Of their stock and
recognized the ease with which it could
be done. A few Percheron and Clyde
sires were introduced on different
ranches and the range sires were sent
to market. In year or two after that
the colts were noticed to be Of a SUI
perior type. Now the products of such
matings are competing with Eastern
bred horses in our own and in the Ca
madam markets. Recently in Toronto
a good many Of these range colts have
been disposed Of at auction. At one
sale forty two colts were sold, the
prices received varying from $40 to
sl2O. d These prices were low and at
them the animals went quickly.

That Is a very good specimen of Sun
day school teaching and can be paral-
leled anywhere by those who will take
the trouble to ask a few questions. The
ignorance Of the Bible on the part of
most persons of average intelligence is
something amazing. The simplest
questions will elicit no answer on the
part of most such persons.
That educated persons know some
thing about the Bible may be assumed,

TAKING IN Mr.. o

How His Confidence Was Abused By
the Natives of Bethany.
When D. l.. Moody went to Bethany
during his travels in the east, he was
very soft hearted over an the multi
tude of beggars there, not only because
the place is SO unusual, but because he
was moved by its beautiful traditions.
He gave quantities of "backsheesh"
and then asked If any Of the children
had the names Of Mary and Martha.
Yes, indeed, they had. And that open
ed his pockets again.
The news Of his generosity spread
through the village, and new claim
ants came until his visit seemed likely
to result in a fight for existence. The
ease was getting desperate, and he
told the dragoman to call for silence.
while he made an address. Then he
said:
II have come 6,OOO miles to see this
little village Of Bethany. 1t was a
place my Master loved to visit, and l
1t. l am very glad to meet you all, but
now l want to be alone. l have no
more backshc.sh. and I bid you good
by"
A fine looking boy of 1G replied to the
address. He spoke luently and with
the grace Of an orator MI. Moody
was delighted with the beginning Of
bis Grafton, but not with it's conclusion.
"We are glad to see the gentleman
and his friends who have come so Tar,
but the gentleman must not think that
his actions r equal to the Importance
of his visit. Six thousand miles is Q
long way to come, and the gentleman
must have sacrificed much to make the
visit. In consequence it is natural for
us to expect that he would be munif-
cent in backsheesh. This he has not
been, and we now expect that he will
give us q great deal more"
Mr.. Moody wasGo disguised that he
abandoned the situation entirely and
hurried away with his friends.
II did think" said he, that boy bad
a soul above backsheesh."
"And did you think, too, that some
of the children were named Martha
and Mary?" he was asked.
Certainly. Why not?"
Nothing; only they were all boys."-

A good many counties in the western
part of. the state are interested in the
case now pending before the supreme
court, in which, Mercer county and H.

Rice of Mandan is the attorney for
Mercer county and Judge Bartholomew
has been retained to assist Mr.. Rice in

county of Mercer to tax property for
county purposes, located in terri. DRY
that was taken in by the county by legis-
lative enactment, sine the adoption of
the state constitution. Indirectly Il large
amount of territory acquired BY Ward,
Mclean, Stark and Billings counties is
also involved in this decision. 1t will be
remembered that the supreme court Of
the state held as unconstitutional the
law passed during the term of office of
Gov. Roger Allln, in which some of
these counties acquired territory under
the same kind Of a law as that which at
an earlier period added territory to the
counties named above. There are good
lawyers who hold unqualifedly that not
w~ithstanding the decision of the supreme
court in the matter Of the constitution
atty of the 1906 law, the same court will
hold that vested interests and rights
have interviewed which cannot sever for
taxation purposes, this territory from the
counties which 0 claim it. The fact
that Judge Bartholomew, who wrote the
decision declaring the 1896 law uncon-
stitutional, o appears for Mercer
county, would indicate that for all prac-
teal purposes the men who thought they
gained by the decision of the court de-
claring the 1896, unconstitutional will
