said the fifteen hundred settlers
that he had the pleasure of coming
in with, had nothing but praise for
the pioneers and the country. His
remarks drew hearty plaudits.
Mr.. Macomber, speaking of the
"Sister City, Wilton" said he ap-
preciated the glowing tributes to
Gen. Washburn, and stated that the
General was doing everything pos
sible for the development of the re-
sources of Mclean county.
DR.. Smith, of Bismarck, after a
felicitous introduction as one of the
earliest and best known citizens
of the Missouri Slope, spoke in a
happy vein of his many sided expe-
riences in the different capacities
devolving on a frontier practitioner,
and set forth some of the early tri-
ais of the pioneer life. He spoke
of his experiences as a politician.
and congratulated the county on
the hitherto faithful and fearless
administration of affairs and pre
dicted the popular. appreciation of
the same in spite of all cavil.

expressed the hope that those in

YOUR NAME.

You can make your name stand
for something, if you wish, or make
it absolutelyworthless. Some mems
names, when attached to paper,
have the effect of rendering that
paper very valuable, while other
mems names add nothing whatever
to the value of the paper on which
they are written. It is the COM
parative value of the men them
selves that makes the difference in
their names. A worthless man
makes a worthless name and a good
man makes his name good. So it
is a very apt expression when a man
is said to have made a name for
himself. All persons who have
added nothing to the value of their
own names r properly designated
as nonenities, even though they
may have inherited great names.
Your name, like your life, is what
you make it. You can make it an
index of all that is great and good,
or if you SO choose, the symbol of
all that is vile and degraded. Or,
you may even render it absolutely
neutral and meaningless.
The luster of a great name in
herited from ancestors must be
maintained by personal excellence,
otherwise 1t will grow dim; on the
other hand, the luster of an inher-
tied name may be frightened by
personal achievement. A mans
name is his property in a peculiar
sense; it is the mirror which faith
fully reflects the varying conditions
of his own soul. What a man wishes
his own name to be, it behooves
him to make himself bodily and
mentally. Your name is the true
symbol of yourself.-Ex.

The worthy university preacher who announced Hymn No. 35S. From Ice lands Greasy Mountains and after, referring in his sermon to Bon the Japtist" corrected himself by saying, No, no. I mean the Japtist Bon," has had many imitators at Oxford and else where. although it is only fair to say that the universities are specially fav- ored by them.
 It was, for instance. q varsity Don who one Sunday startled his congrega- tion by giving out Hymn 175. The 10th Hymn-kinquering Congs Their Titles Take" and another of the learn ed fraternity who. preaching q sermon in honor of Queen Victorias diamond jubilee. referred to her majesty in these impressive words. Now, my brethren you have a queer Dean, very queer Dean, and very queer Dean indeed; VI and to this day there are some who de- cline to believe that the preacher was net having a sly hit at the dean of his college, with whom he was not on the best of terms and who was noted fo, his oddities.
 Many amusing verbal lapses are cred l ited to the genial and popular head oi one of the Oxford colleges. It was he so they say who once preached from

 But she agreed, and the light of a holy joy was spread all over her black face as she went out of the room.

 As soon as breakfast was over she took the roses to the kitchen with her and trimmed them and put them in fresh water to keep them looking well until Harry should come. She had them nearly all trimmed away by the time he arrived, but-well my mother will be looking for new cook in the fall
 The girl with the sailor hat nodded her head emphatically, helped herself to another olive. and remarked.
 That is all very well. you lost your roses, but you smoothed the course of true love, even if it was black. Now l lost my roses without even that com pensation.

Just then l heard F'reda, our house maid, going past my door. was awfully sleepy, so 1 called to her, passed out the roses, told her to fill the bath tub half full of water and put them in. heard her drawing the water just as I went to sleep. The next morn ing I hustled into the bath room to get the roses out of the tub before the fam | fly were up. My dear, what do you suppose she had done?

 A gentleman by the name of Black ing confirmed the report Of MT. Gie- dens of the P. < F.. corps that the clothing found near the body of the dead man found east of Mesa was that of Dan McCarty, a foreman Of the rock work in Cassion camp No. l. It seems that some Of the boys cele- brated about the first of August and Dan was among them and about the 2nd or 3rd he disappeared and no one knew where he had gone. but as he had said he was going to Phoenix they thought perhaps he had gone. But his clothes, particularly his hat and the general description confirm them in the opinion that the man who met his death on the desert is none other than Dan McCarty.
 The man in Phoenix mentioned in the paper is G. G. McCarty, so there is not much more room for doubt.
 Dan McCarty has been with Grant Bros. for many years, and at one time was their head man. He has no rela- tions in this country and his life ambition was to return to Ireland and build an underground railroad to Cork.

dark glassly," and transmitted the Loving Shepherd into the Showing Leopard' in one of his sermons. On another occasion, when he was press ed by a friend to stay the night in London, he answered with decision. No, I thank you. I must return to Oxford by the $50 town drain.''
 This gentleman, who enjoys his slips as much as any one, was featuring one day from to 10 on Greek history for men in their final school; and at Il he gave an hours lecture to freshmen on the fourth gospel. At the conclusion of the Biblical exposition it dawned on him that perhaps he had got little mixed. and, by way of precaution, he said: "Gentlemen, before you go, would ! you kindly look through your notes and wherever I said 'Pericles' scratch it out and write St. John.'"
 It was not Dr. S--, however, but a friend of his, a learned dean of an Ox- ford college, who once gave a severe lecture to a lazy undergraduate, finish | ing with these crushing words. 1T am sorry to have to speak so severely to you, but I am credibly informed that you have broken many rules of the col | lege; you have been incorrigibly lazy, and to crown it all you have willfully | tasted two worms.f Of course, the poor gentleman meant wasted two terms,' and the delinquent was under no de- | fusion as to his meaning.
 | Was it not the same dean-or was it some one else-who once kept friend | waiting an unconsciona ble time for him | outside his house, and then, emerging l in resplendent silk hat, apologiZed thus: Sorry to have kept you. The
 fact is, I have been flushing my bla ok | brat.''
 There is no doubt, however, that it
 was MT. S- who was the hero of the | following story. Once when he was
 staying in town he was asked by a
 friend to meet him at certain hostelry
 in a London suburb. On the day ap- | pointed MT. S. took train to Green
 wich and spent some hours in vain at 1 tempts to discover an inn of t..e name
 of ''The Dull Man." finally returning to | town without catching glimpse of his
 friend or the rendezvous. All the time
 the friend had been awaiting him, as
 arranged, at "The Green Man, Dull | wich."
 But perhaps the best story of all, which MT. S- himself tells, is this:
 "I was returning the other evening
 along the Witney road, when, as I near
 cd the station, owing to my indifferent sight, 1 ran into a man who was
 crouching at the edge of the footpath
 we rolled over together and were botf somewhat bruised. It was my fault,

 his breath, but 1 was only stopping to

 sixty acre field of oats belonging to Drace Jepsen caught fire yesterday morning about ten o'clock The oats had been cut and were in two long stacks. Several stacks of alfalfa seed had also been cut from the same field. A thresher had pulled out of the field Saturday without finishing the grain and it is supposed that fire from the engine smoldered until it broke out yesterday. Shan Johnson, with four Mexicans. were cleaning a ditch close by and they immediately rushed to the scene. Fortunately the wind was from the south and the men were thereby helped enough so that the stack in that part of the field was saved The others. including $50 empty grain sacks were entirely destroyed. The loss is estimated at about s4C0, with no insur- ance.

TWO TALES OF ROSES.
The Tragic Stories Told Over the Lun-
 cheon Table.

If the mission of flowers is to bring joy" said the girl in the linen shirt waist suit as she loitered over her lun- cheon, then a certain box of roses that I know of has fulfilled its raison detre beyond the widest hopes of the man who started them on their career.
 Story, story" demanded the girl in the sailor hat, beating on the table with fer spoon.
 Well, it was this way began the white linen girl You know l got back from the East the other day, and the man l like best to celebrate my return, sent me a box of stunning rc ses. They were all wet and sweet and pink, just the My like them, and I kept them in sight all day long. That night after the family were in bed and l was just ready to turn out my own light it oc- cured to me that if I could put my flowers in q cool place they would stay fresh to rejoice my heart another day. So l slipped into a dressing gown and slippers and crept down stairs with them without awakening soul. On the back pol ch l found a. bucket, filled it with water and put my roses in clear up to their fragrant pink heads. Then l left them there in the porch where the cool night air would brighten them.
 The next morning when l came down to breakfast there were my roses in the middle of the table, and Lilly. our cook. whose soul is as white as her skin is black was lowering over themr her face fairly beaming.
 'Jes' see, Miss Mary, what somebody lef' me in de night and you should have seen the air of proprietorship with ,.<l. Co in chem.
 ''Of course 1 gasped, but before l had time she went on, simply bubbled on.
 'Ain't it funny were want no card nor nothin'. Dere dey was in a. bucket O watah right by de doah whah I would see 'ern first ting when I opened de doah. Now, who q you reckon done it? Guess none O yore beaux could a thought of delicater little 'tention dan dat now could dey?'
 Naturally that floored me, for my friends are not the no card kind. Then she began again.
 You see, dere ain't no possible way O tellin who left em. Dey was in our ! bucket, dat I lef' on de porch mysel las night. I'd think it might be Harry as coaches for de folks nex' door only me an him had words. an anyway he counldnt ford nothin' so han'som as | desc. Desc is about as nice as dem you git, 1iss Mary, ain't dey? Now l dc wonder if it could a been Harry? II would be jes' like him. He's awful stravagant boy when he gifts started What d you think?''
 NOW. of course, I could not spoil hel pleasure by telling her that the flowers were really mine. She was too happy over it all and too ingenious in hel happiness. So I told her that I be ] lieved that it was Harry, that 1 had seen him locking over this way pretty often the night before, and that 1 reall. did not think it could be anyone else ! Then she wanted me to tell her wha she should do. and I advised her to sa. nothing to him directly about them, bu1 | to show them to him, and say how nict she thought it was of whoever did it l And to show her appreciation of it b.

District Attorney Jerc-ne has q brother, Larry" Jerome, whose strange life story, as dictated by himself, ap- peared serially in the New York Ev- ening World a few years ago. This brother started his eccentric career while at Princeton by an undue love of art. Robert Bonner had given Pres ident McCosh. of Princeton. q magnifi- cent snow white horse of which the old president was inordinately proud and which he was wont to drive in triumph through the streets. One day, as the president was about to drive on hur- ry call to Trenton, his hostler failed to bring the white steed to the door On time. Going to the stable to investigate the president found that young Jerome had painted the horse a vivid and pa triotic red. white and blue. Then he had permitted the Old Glorious horse to roll in the grass. adding a Galway green to the general effect. As the president had no circus to advertise. he missed his drives for the next month.
