CALAMITY JANE

jamestown Alert: Calamity Jane,
famous all over the United States and
most of the world for her daring deeds
as scout, frontierswoman euuestri-
enne and a sure shot, was in James,
town, Friday on her way west to Liv-
lngston, Mont. She spent the winter
IN Pierre, S. D., and arrived in James
town over the Oakes branch Friday af-
ternoon. She spent the night before
IN Oakes and had quite time there.
She rather startled the men in one of
the saloons and one of them VIII not
soon forget his experience. She was
drlnklng with them and called them
all up. The men thought they we're
pretty wise and thought they would

along nicely when Calamity Jane pull

You have had your fun and now it'2
my turn she said. You fellows don't
know as much as the calves out on nv
montana ranch" The boys danced
One man in the crowd did not drink
He stood around and chuckled over the
actions of Calamity. She noticed he
did not drink and ordered him to do So
The command was made good with the
aid OF wicked looking gun. The
man quickly swallowed glass of beer.
When Calamity Jane arrived in
jamestown she was tired after her
Trip and complained that she did not
feel very well. She met few people
here she knew, among the number be-
ing Don Stevenson. the representative
from Morton county who went east on

THE DOGS 5. TAIL. All
Its La 4anguaEe In the Chase and When
the Animal Is Pleased.

Its Language In the Chase and When
the Animal Is Pleased.
In the case of all hunting dogs, such
as foxhounds or wolves, which pack to-
gether, the tail is carried aloft and is
very free in movement. 1t is also fire.
quently rendered more conspicuous by
the tip being white, and this is almost
invariably the case when the hounds
are of mixed color. When ranging the
long grass Of the prairie or jungle, the
raised tips Of the tail would often be
all that an individual member Of the
band would see Of its fellows. u.
There is no doubt that hounds habit
ually watch the tails of those in front
Of them when drawing covert. If a
faint drag is detected suggestive of the
presence of fox. but scarcely sufi.
cient to be sworn to vocally, the tail Of
the finder is at once set in motion, and
the warmer the scent the quicker does
it wag. Others, seeing the signal,
quickly join the first, and there is an
assemblage of waving tails before even
the least whimper is heard. n
,3ouOulu lie, udS prove uOuDll III Oue,
the hounds separate again, and the
waving ceases, but if it grows stronger
when followed up the wagging be-
comes more and more emphatic until
one after another the animals begin to
whine and give tongue and stream of
in Indian file along the line of scent.
When the pack is in full cry upon a
strong scent, the tails cease to wave,
but are carried aloft in full view. The
moment when the dog most enjoys life
is the moment when he sights game.
That moment Is the time when he
wags his tail most vigorously in order
to announce his discovery to his fellow
dogs.
In this way. by the habit of associa-
ton, he got to wagging his tail when.
ever he was pleased. The more pleased
he is the more vigorously he wags his
tail. so that the wagging Of dogs tail
under pleasurable emotions can be
traced directly to the time when the
dog used his tail as a signal of the dis
covery Of his prey.-D. Proyan in Scot

PRICE FIVE CENTS. I
THE INNS OF CHINA.
Their Cheapness Is About Their One
Redeemfng Feature.


Chinese inns are without register or
clerks. On riding through the gateway
your bride rein is seized By a dirty II
boy, who helps you to dismount, shout
ing loudly meanwhile for the proprIe-
tor. who presently looms up through
the wilderness Of carts and mules. Pro-
prietor and boy then hold a parley as
to what rooms are eligible, and then a
door is pushed open and the Traveller is
shown to his apartment. 1t is usually
about twelve feet square. The walls
and floor are OF hard mud, and SO are
the beds, which extend entirely across
the side Of the room, with only space
enough between them for a small table
and one chair. The room is lighted by
one window, in which paper takes the
place of glass.
making a patron comfortable is to stop
up the holes in the paper window pane.
He never tears the paper off entirely
and replaces it with new one, be-
cause the sheet OF paper is worth
about one-tenth of cent, and the inn
keeper is not Wasteful. Indeed he
pastes little slips Of paper over the
holes until all the light that filters
through it is of a notified hue.
At one end Of the mule shed is the
kitchen Of the inn. 1t is here that the
meals for all the patrons are prepared,
to be eaten in the, rooms. The menu is
not elaborate. 1t consists only of bowls
of rice and tea. Should the traveller de-
sire a greater variety of food, he can
buy it himself in the market, and his
own servant can cook it in the kitchen.
Chinese inn would be for a foreigner
an impossibility were it not that he is
always SO exhausted at the end of
each days journey that be finds it diff
fcult to remain awake ten minutes
after alighting from his pony. He lies
down on the mat that covers the hard
! heap of mud and surprises himself at
the soundness Of his sumber.
The one redeeming thing about the
inn is its cheapness Just as the trav-
eler is about to depart in the morning
the proprietor tells him the amount of
his bill. Everything is charged on the
| European plan" Every cup Of tea,
every rushlight candle, the paper win
! dow pane, are all itemiZed in the long
! list which the proprietor reels off in
/ singsong, but the total is surprisingly
low. The cost of food and lodging for
one night for traveller and two serv-
ants. with stabling and fodder for his
! ponies and cart mules, is about so
cents.-New York Mail and Express.

them both to Mrs. Weyler with the

THE COlNOUEROR.
Being the True Romantic Story

Being the True Romantic Story of
Alexander Hamilton. By Gertrude
FRANKLIN Atherton. Capital Book
Store, Bismarck. $1.25.
The life of Alexander Hamilton was
romantic from beginning to end and
Mrs. Atherton. with her tropical in;-
agination has told the story of that life
with her embellishments, in a most at
tractive way. She has visited Hamil-
toms birthplace in the West Indies:
overhauled family records and turned
the lights on the romantic careers of
Han1ilton's father and mother. The
career of Hamilton, after he came, a
youth, to New York, follows the his
toric record with interesting and ro-
mantle diversions and reveals new in
cidents in Hamilton's political expcr-
lence and his sharp differences with
Jefferson. The peculiarities of the
Fathers" are brought out especially
those of Jefferson and Burr, who hated
Hamilton with a deadly hatred, the
blasted character of Burr after the
conspiracy trial, being emphasized. The
society recently organized to refute the
charges historically made against Burr
will have to take up Mrs. Atherton's
book and see what they can do with it.
The author declares that Burr was
too depraved and warped to under
stand nobility in any one" and that
there were no depths of blackguardism
that he did not touch" Which is Ger
tainly historically true. The society
for the defense of Burr can't very
well alter history. The story of the
duel with Burr and of Hamilton's last
hours and words and death, which
shocked the mind of Hamilton's daugh-
ter, Angelica, to impairment. is we'll
told. Mrs. Atherton has portrayed
Hamilton with great ability. It lis a
peculiar kind OF book-no less ro-
mantle than biography. with the ro-
nance, perhaps, somewhat dominant

HAND SEPARATORs PAY.

A. r. Thompson, county commits
sioner, tells the Rolla Star that he has
recently purchased a hand cream sep
arator and is more than pleased at the
results so far attained. Mr.. Thompson
estimates that at least two pounds of
butter per week can be made from each
average COW more than can be made
by the skimming PROGRESS and the but
ter SO made commands a higher price
in the market. Mr.. Thompson states
that any farmer owning six milch cows
cannot find a better Investment for his
money than to purchase a separator.
These are practical facts, gwen by a
practical farmer and are worthy of
careful eonside

A THOUSAND CARS AT MINoT

Ward County Reporter: The new
settlers have been having very in
teresting time in the Minot yards
There are nearly a thousand emigrant
cars in the spacious yards and to get
them in such position as will suit
each emigrant, is impossible. A great
deal of switching is necessary and for
that reason when man leaves his car
he is not certain of finding it again
without a long tiresome search. A
South Dakota man lost track of his car
altogether. 1t is probable that in the
mix up the car was made up in some
train and carried on. OF course the fell
low will get his car back, bit the
railroad authorities had a hard time
convincing him of the fact.

NEW. MARRIAGE QUALIFICATION

NEW W*sMAttRlAGE QUALIFICATION.
Ashley Tribune: A short time ago
Judge Bietz was accosted by a bright
and promising youth who made appli-
cation for marriage license and stated
that he wished to have the Judge per-
form the ceremony. Knowing the lad,
the judge questioned him quite closely
regarding financial matters and in
course of conversation found out that
this young man had but So. The Judge
considered the matter and came to the
conclusion that Mcintosh county girl
should not be married to a man with
but So and refused to give him the Ii
cense. The young groom went to the
train to meet the bride, but as she fail
ed to put IN her appearance the promis-
ing youth is congratulating himself
that the judge did not issue the license.
