Fire at Mandan.

One of the large warehouses of the
Mandan Mercantile company at Man
dan burned last night, entailing a loss
of about $50, 900. The building is To-
Gated on the right-of-way close to the
railroad track, and the fire is supposed
to have originated from a spark from
the switch engine. The wind was
from the south and blew the flames
and burning debris toward the build
ings on the opposite side Of the street.
and it was only dint of hardest kind of
an effort on the part Of the fire de-
partment that a serious confiagration
was prevented.

EASY TO FIND THE O
Story Related by Russian Amba..a-

and Employe.

Count Cassini, Russian ambassador
to the United States, relates the fol-
lowing story:
"A Russian manufacturer had in his
employ a mechanic who for some
time had been pleading as an excuse
for absence, that his child was ill.
When the man did appear for work
his face bore unmistakable signs of
dissipation, according to the employ
er's point Of view. The workman said
it was due to loss of sleep.
Zone morning when there was an
important piece of work to do (for
the mechanic was a fine artisan. a
fellow-workman came in and reported
to the manufacturer that the irregu-
lar mechanic could not come. The
child wal very sick.
"Angered, the master demanded the
place of residence of his lying work
man, and he himself would go and
rout him out Of his drunken stupor.
s.The fellow-worker, however, gave
such q detailed and intricate plan
of the district in which the house
could be found that the manufacturer
did not go to investigate
Next morning the workman again
reported that the mechanic could not
come.

ployer, where does he live?'

workman.

HAPPY FAR-oFF CHILDHOOD.

Where the primrosed ways are vending
And the live oaks cast their shade;
Where the willow twigs are bending
Der the streams we used to wade;
Where the oriole is swinging
In his nest high up In air,
And the hooking birds are singing,
Don't you with that you We're there?
Don't you wish-I'n bet you're dreaming
OF the dear old scenes right now!
OF the hecks of sunlight cleaning
On the water. and of how
You have sat along in June time
And have watched the bubbles rise
Till h droning heat of noontima
Laid its spell upon you eyes.
And until. the west'ring shadows.
Like an umber mantle lay
Over stream and wood n meadows
You have dozed the hour, away
In that borderland of sleeping,
Where the bird songs filtered through,
And o felt the breezes creeping
Wish 1t? I just kno you do!
You can see the meadows bending
To a sloping grassy brink;
You can see the cattle vending
Softly lowing down to drink.
And the orchard and the wildwood.
All the dear old scenes you knew
In your happy far-off childhood;
Don't they all come back to youf

THE STEELE OF HAMMURABI.
Vast Value for the History
of Civilization.

In the classic lands and the lands
of the ancient east excavations by for
eign scholars are encouraged or al
lowed, but the objects found cannot
be removed to other countries. except
in the case of duplicates of no special
value. The rape of the Elgin marbles
is an event Of long ago which Greece
mourns. Old pictures must be snug
gled from Italy. Egypt has half a
dozen expeditions at work ~excavating
all the time, but whatever is found is
tributary to the Bulak museum. Even
Turkey now has strict laws, which are
building up the Constantinople muse
um. Only Persia is a free hunting
ground. especially for the French gov
eminent, writes DIR. William Hayes
Ward, in esWho Was Hammurabi?" in
Century.
In 1882 NJ. Dieulafoy, with his ener-
getic wife dressed in masculine attire,
began explorations at Susa, and re-
moved the upper Layers of soil. They
were followed, after an interval, by M.
de Morgan, a savant of the first rank,
who had gained his first experience in
Egypt. He has been at work for near
ly ten years, and has gone down to the
lower strata. which represented the
earlier period of the history Of Elan.
But the most valuable things found
thus far are those objects which had
been brought as trophies from Baby
lonla. One of these is the wonderful
STEELE of Naram-Sin, who ruled north
ern Babylonia 5000 years B. c., some
say 300 years B. G. The king stands
proudly on the field of battle, and the
vigor Of the art is worthy of the early
Greek period.
a STEELE of vastly more value for the
history of civilization than the stele
of Naram-Sin. or the stones which re-
cord the grants of land by kings to
their f%avorite subjects covered with
grotesque emblems of the gods who
will punish anyone who ventures to
annul the grant, is the great stele Of
Hammurabi from sippara. On it we
see the king in the same humble atti-
tude of alteration which appears on
the other STEELE found at Sippara, stand
ing IN worship before the sur god
Shamash. He is not, as has been said
by those who have published it, repre-
sented as receiving the laws from
shamash-that is a bit of imagination
borrowed from the account of Gods
giving the law to Moses; but he simply
appears in the ordinary attitude of
worship, lifting his hand to his god.
Shamash was DESIGNATED the "Judge
of Gods and Men, 1t was then spe-
clally appropriate that this record Of
laws should be set up before his
shrine, in his city. and that he should.
be represented not as a warrior sin 4
lighting attitude. but sitting on the
throne of judgment. AT the sametime
his solar character was indicated by
tbs rays rising from his. shoulders,
which are omitted in the other stele
found at sippara.

A DETECTIVE ROOSTER.
Much-vaunted Fowl Was the Means
of Restoring n Pair of Miss
ing Roots.

"A good story is told of Capt. Joe
Worley. of the Canal street ferry Alice.
When Capt. Morley was plotting the
Richard street ferry jerome Hanley
he had a negro fireman working on
the boat who at times was affected
with kleptomania. This negro was a
good-natured fellow, but he would
swipe things, and consequently the
pilot and engineers of the boat had
to be very careful about how they left
things around. One morning Capt.
Morley missed a new pair of shoes,
which he had left in the pilot house the
evening before. He asked the negro
if he had seen the shoes, says the New
Orleans Times-Democrat.
mo, sah," said the negro, 81 hain't
cen yo' shoes"
Notwithstanding his denial Capt.
Worley was confident the negro had
the shoes. He called his brother, who
was engineer on the boat. and theylaid
a trap for the negro. The next morn
ing when Sam showed up he was adj
dressed by the engineer, who said:
"Well, Sam, the cap'n's going to
bring his rooster down here.

IAN TO de Lawd's sake what's he gwine

why, Sam. haven't you heard about

engineer, sis a kind Of detective. When
ever we miss anything around the
house, we call everybody in the house
into M room. Then we point to them
one after another. When we point at
the right n the rooster crows, and
then we find out who stole the missing
article"
This seemed to worry Sam a great
deal. That evening, just before knock
ing off time he went to the captain and
said:
"Marse Joe, yo' hain't got no rooster
detective, is you?'
Eyes, Sam, l have" replied the cap
tain.
well, yo' hain't gwine bring dat
rooster down here, is yo', cap'n?"

out who has them" continued the cap
tain.

The captain then told the darby that

not bring the rooster down. The
darky agreed to this. The mex morn
