street station Sergt. MEGA rthy was
giving orders to Policeman Schem-
merhorn, who looked doubtful when
he got the order, but he moved
quickly, just the same, because the
sergeant said the case was urgent.
He appeared again quite soon and
with frown assured Mccarthy that
lit was all a fake"
Once more the telephone bell broke
the stiffness at headquarters, and
once again the officer in charge sent
word to Harlem. This time Police
man Horn was sent. Horn and
Schemmerhorn linked their efforts,
and now insisted on getting at
the source of the excitement. They
finally found Mrs. Fleming, demand
ing in no mild, uncertain tones to
know just what she meant.
Its all right now" she said.
Pressing for further light, the two
policemen were informed by Mrs.
Fleming that her husband had come
home slightly under the weather"
and that to brighten him so that he
would promise her to sign the pledge
she had pretended that she was GO
ing to have him arrested.
Hes promised now" she said,
"and it's all right"
The two policemen left, reserving
their remarks for the street, where
there was plenty of room as well
as lots of air.

Serious Crime Charged.

Mandan Pioneer: c. J. O'Neil and
Jas. Carter, who say they live at Will
ton. will have a hearing on a charge
OF removing lights from a Northern
Pacific train. The charge is brought
under section 1880 Of the Revised
Codes, and makes the offense punish
able with a term in the penitentiary
OF not less than three and not more
than ten years. These two men and
the man Pearson who was killed in
the yards at Mandan a couple Of weeks
ago, were miners at Wilton, who made
up their minds to 60 south of Mandan
and rusticate for a short time. Pear
son came to Mandan, got intoxicated,
and was u over by a train. O'Neil

Chinese physicians have some curious
notions in regard to human anatomy.
The truth is they know nothing about
anatomy az that word 10 understood BY
American physicians, their principal
authority or the Gubject being a work
entitled Netting" Of which Huang
II. who lived from 2607 to 1897 b. c.,
b said to be the author.
According to. Chinese p~hysicians, the
human heart occupies almost the same
position 40 IL assigned by European
and American physicians to the stom-
ach, and bile. they maintain, has its
origin in the back Of the head. They
also claim that q human being has 38b
bones. which correspond to the 365
days Of the year; that a man has
twelve ribs and a woman fourteen and
that a mans skull is composed Of eight
and q woman's six pieces.
Moreover. they say that in every hu.
man body there are twenty-five parts
which are important and fifty-six
which are unimportant. and they lay
great stress on the necessity of taking
good care Of the important parts.

all round man Of letters. yet would
think that some Of his ideas must have
originated with the king Of Bedlam.
He believed and lectured before learn
ed college societies in support of his
views that the earth consists Of from
i've to seven hollow concentric spheres
and that at the poles there Is a round
opening entirely through each Of the
several spheres.
According to this queer Theory. these
spheres are placed one inside the other,
like a nest of crockery ware. with an
open space Of a few hundred miles be.
tween each. Furthermore, he believed
that both the outside and the inside
Of each Of these bubblelike spheres are
inhabited. which would give not less
than ten and probably fourteen thea.
tiers Of action" instead OF the one hab-
table surface with which we are all
acquainted to a greater or lesser de.
gree. Symmes lived for many years

Northern Indians Secure veni.
Fer Thelr Laraers.
4. New Yorker who lives a small frac
ton Of the time in the city, being usual
" long distances away In pursuit Of
game, tells Of the method pursued By
the Indians of British Columbia in tax
ing deer. They have evolved a system
this huntsman says, that shows prac.
teal skill and sympathy and knowledge
of natural conditions. He says:
The Indians, to begin with, do moi
hunt deer for the pleasure of hunting.
They 60 for deer as a ~housekeeper goes
to market for beef, and, what's more
in British Columbia, at any rate-they
don't 60 often. Salmon is plentiful in
the rivers and Is easily caught, so why
chase animals when they can secure
fish? 1t is something as it is in New
foundland, where I went n couple OF
seasons ago. There the prevailing fish,
as you might say. Is cod. and. though
there is no end to the variety of edible
fish that can be taken, the natives new
er think Of eating anything else. Cod
10 plentiful. and they form the habit, I
suppose. This 10 so ingrained that they
call Goldfish fish simply. The genus is
divided into cod and the rest of fish.
"Well, when the British Columbia In
dian makes up his mind for v~enison. he
goes at It systematically and without
sentiment. A group OF half a dozen or
ten men split and take either end Of a
valley. Then they proceed along the
mountain slope from the two ends to
the center. They choose the sheltered
side Of the valley OF which the deer
seek to escape the wind. Each party
covers the mountain side. some near the
foot and some at the top and others be-
tween the lines. keeping abreast by an
Initiated owl boot. The deer, on wind.
ing pursuit, have the trick Of leaping
away down the slope. unlike the goats,
which 60 up. and thus between the two
approaching parties they are swept to
gether at the middle Of the valley. A
good sized herd will thus be killed of
and the Indians supplied for many
weeks by two or three days exertion."

9Aere Are Three state systems, Con.
3ueio1lsA, Buddhism and Taoisn.
In theory ~Cenfucianism is the re-
ngion Of the state. The state officials
are the literati who have secured their
positions through the study Of the
classics. e., the Sacred Writings Of
Confucius." The Confucianist temples
are protected and honored by the state,
and the worship of Confucius is carried
on at the expense Of the state. In a
limited sense, too. Buddhism can also
claim to be a state religion. The same
= also true Of Taoism, since deceased
generals and statesmen are assigned
their corresponding ranks with the
Taoistic king Of the lower world in
hades. In this role they are w%orshiped
In Taoistic temples. In this way it is
possible for q Chinaman to make use
Of all three religions without getting
into conflict with the distinctive prin-
ciples Of any Of them. Their officials
worship together. In funeral services
monks of both orders are found per-
forming functions on different days.
The public temples are usually in
control of the Taoists, but sometimes
are in charge of Buddhists. Not rarely
Taoistic gods are found In Buddhist
temples and vice versa. Sometimes
they differ only In name. The Bud
dhist goddess Of mercy - the Taoist
goddess Of heaven. The pearl king Of
the Taoists is the imperial ruler Of the
Baddhists. Both systems teach the
same ten princes in hades. and even
. reproduction Of the Buddhist punish
ment in hell is found in the Taoist tenn.
nles.

They Arouse Great Enthusiasm ana
Produce Strange Trophies.
Athletics attract much more atten-
don in England than in America. The
people are more enthusiastic. and 1t 10
not unusual to see 1900 or 10000 peo-
pie attending the games. There are
sports three and five times a week, so
that an ambitious runner can oil his
trophy room with any number Of suit
able prizes. An American champion
has no idea Of the reception that awaits
him. The many sports committees at
tend him. and he IL shown the hospital
ity of the cities.
1t Is no extraordinary thing to be in
vited to a dinner in your honor or to
stay a few days with the lord mayor
Of the city. All Of these affairs. one
must admit, E q great handicap to
his training.
The prizes abroad are. as a general
rule, very valuable. much more go than
In America. They are not wholly con.
fined to silverware. such as cups and
the like. but 1t lie nothing extraordi-
nary to see an athlete departing from
the races with a sewing machine or
hatrack. and in some cases I have seen
orders for beds. The lucky competitor,
a. . rule. can have any article he de-
sires. and, as many British athletes are
married. they generally take the most
serviceable article.-Arthur r. Duffey

Through Fargo for Points In West

Fargo Forum: There was some
thing doing in the N. P. railroad yards
yesterday afternoon with three train
loads of homeseekers who are moving
into this state from Illinois, Iowa and
Indiana and other states to take ad-
vantage of cheap lands that is cheap
compared with the large investments
required to secure desirable holdings
in the more thickly settled states.
During yesterday afternoon there ar
rived in the yards three trains, one
made up Of twenty ears and two Of
seventeen cars each. On n Of the
trains were two coaches filled with
men, women and children. The coaches
and thirteen cars Of household goods
farm implements and farm stock were
consigned to Medina, midway between
jamestown and Steele, where the new
corners have selected some very desir-
able homesteads. One man who looked
particularly happy and wore one Of
those smiles which don't come OF

kind of q farming country they were
going to in the western part Of the

in a tone Of reproof, saying that he
and his friends werenot going into
the investment with their eyes shut.
He said the right kind of farming al.
ways has paid, is paying. and always
will pay and on that theory they were
going to work On some of the good
lands west of the Red River Valley.
The remaining t~hirty-nine cars were
consigned to points neal Buffalo. Den.

at Colonel Thomas Ochiltree and made
many Of the men Of Galveston a bit
jealous. As a result they once planned
IN incident whereby they would hu-
initiate Ochiltree. Grant was to stop
at Galveston after his trip to South

put Ochiltree's name on the list Of dis

Ochiltree bided his time, as he was

Grant. He took q vantage point in the

steps to the curb. The reception com
mittee. on part Of 1t. was standing in

eral the gladstone hand.
