After the Bad Ones,

Pure Food Commissioner: Ladd is
making it so warm for the box car deal
ers that are infesting the state that
some of them have been forced to
abandon the old method Of delivering
in carload lots. They solicit the or
ders as formerly, but ship direct to
customers, sending the bills of lading
to the banks for collection. In this
manner the expense is greater and
they are compelled to increase the
prices till they are nearly equal to that
of local dealers: who handle a superior
quality of goods. The pure food au-
thorities are troubled greatly by the
inferior quality of canned goods that
is being shipped to this state. The
presence of f~orlmaldehyde is so great
in some that it can be detected by its
fumes without chemical tests. The
state seems to be receiving a great
quantity of the stuff that is being
driven out of Minnesota, and the COM
missioner is waging an active fight to
head the dealers off. 81

Important Land Case.

Testimony was taken at Dickinson
in an important land case. The facts
are substantial lily as follows: In 1900
William Colgrove fled a water claim
and at the required time made proof,
as he supposed, as required by law.
About this time, in 1901, Mike Glon
filed a homestead on the claim. Some
time later Gion received word from the
Bismarck land Office that the claim
would not be subject to homestead en-
try until two years from the time the
water claim had been filed, but later
he received word from the ge~neralland
at Washington that he could go
aheadawith his residence and improve
ments under his homestead entry made
in 1901. Levi Colgrove, father Of Will
lam, who made the reservoir fling,
now contests the claim on the grounds
of homage and abandonment. At the
hearing Gion admitted that he was
under p years of age when he made
the fling, and claimed that he did not
understand the language, etc. and now
contends for a reinstatement. There
is no ruling on a case of this kind and
the matter will be carefully watched
by land attorneys throughout the
northwest. . ...s.. p.

The plan pleased Bessemer better
than the first proposed, and so it was
arranged. He encamped his little ar

of the Ellery fields that evening. One
of the prisoners he considered too
valuable a capture to risk thus, and
he besought Mrs. Ellery for a special
room for him. AS a prisoner, he was
second only to Sumter himself.
"Now, dear madam" he said to his
hostess, when these arrangements
had been completed, "you must let
me take the burden of our frolic to-
night off your hands. I want this
to be my festivity, given in honor of
your neighboring Tory friends. IT'S
sufficient that you grant us the privi-
lege of using your beautiful grounds,
and I shall see to it that their love-

Mrs. Ellery made a feint of re-
luctant concession to this, but in
truth she was not sorry to wash her
hands of all but the indoor prepara-
tons. She and Jane Immediately set
about seeing to the making of cakes,
salads, and various confections to

evening gowns left from her last visit

SHIRTS GROW ON TREES.
What an old Sailor Said Could
Be Found on South Sea


"Shirts grow OF trees where [
came FROM" said the old sailor, ac-
cording to the Philadelphia Record.
How So, shipmut?" a pale clerk
asked. '
The sailor emptied his glass and
wiped his mouth with the back of
his hand. "I'm a-speakin'," he said,
"of the South seas. You know them
islands over there?" ~ -
Sure" said the clerk. SIX. -. .
"Well, that's where l mean. that
shirts grow on trees. There's a kind
of u willow tree on them islands
with a soft, flexible bark. A native
selects a tree with a trunk that's
just a little bigger round than what
he is. He makes a ring with his
knife around the trunk through the
bark, and he makes another ring
four foot below. Then, with a slit
of the knife, he draws the bark off,
the same as a boy does in maxim a
willow whistle, and he's got a fine,
durable shirt. All he needs to do is
to dry it out. make two holes for
the arms, and put a lacin' in the
back to draw it together.
In the spring of the year the
shirts are gathered. Men and wo:
men both go out at that time to
look for trees that fit them. These
bark shirts are treated so as to be
soft and flexible. They don't look
bad. Gosh hanged if they look bad
at all, for shirts that grow on trees.'

Easy to Get.

deed is the experience Of Mr.. A. S. Turner, .
man now over seventy-one years of age, and
whose home is here.
] Forsmany years this old gentleman had
suffered with a very unpleasant form of Kid
neysS Trouble, a kind that very often both
ers aged people. He would have to get up
four or FIVE times every might, and this very
tiresome disease was fast wearing him
out.
At last after having almost made up his
mind that he would never be able to get re-
lief, he stumbled over a medicine which re-
lieyed himalmost Immediately, and has cured
him permanently. 1t is SO very easy to get
and SO simple that Mr.. Turner thinks every
one should know it. Every dealer in the
country has it, and. all you have to do is to.
ask for Dodd's Kidney Pills. Mr.. Turner

"A% neat speech, my Beautiful
REBEL" he observed; but is this all
the reward I am to receive when I
had far more in. mind the hope-ef
giving you enjoyment than of enter
tanning your tory neighbors? Nay,
do not turn away. Hear me out.
This morning when I rode from your
door my pulses throbbed With hope;
but tonight something in your man
ner thwarts me. What has reared
this barrier between us? Have you
| spent those few short hours in maxi
ing of your heart a fortress? And,
if so, what weapons can 1 use that
will batter down it's walls?' Will pa
tience and persistence do the work?
Then. indeed, will [ never despair"
"We all know" Jane observed,
"'that Col. Bessemer adds to his repu-
tation as a gallant soldier that of an
adroit s%trategist. I see he. would
fain betray the hearts owner into a
confession of the strength or weak
| ness of it's forces; but methinks it
would be wiser for the besieged to
permit the assailant to determine for
himself what weapons to use" =
"Ah," said Bessemer, half bitterly,
half questioningly, eff I could only
be sure 4 certain rebel were not har-
| bored within the walls of that heart,
| I might be more encouraged to make
the attack"
"And is a loyal soldier of his maj
esty the king, to be daunted by a
| rebel?" Jane asked. "Fie! Iwould
not have Thought it."
The E~nglishman's face darkened.
NO, on my soul, is he not" he cried,
NOR by ten thousand rebels. I ac-
cept your challenge, madam. The
time is not far distant when I hope
to prove myself a match for that
rebel. Meanwhile, it behooves me to
select one of yonder forests stout
trees for stringing up another rebel
how in my keeping. By daybreak, I
trust, we shall be rid of him and leave
his dangling body as a warning to
others of his ilk.'
The brightness died out of the girls
face. "You cannot NEAR that you
will hang that poor old gentleman
| who is now a captive in our garrett?
I saw him when they brought him to
the house this afternoon, and I
thought his face most sweet and
noble, while I have ever heard him
spoken of as brave"
"Aye, brave enough; but poor old
| gentleman scarce fits so bloody
handed a wretch. I have not forgot
that three of our allies were strung
up by his command four weeks ago,
and, by my faith, their death shall
be avenged" :,
"But they were maraudersa who
plundered dwellings and murdered
women and children. At least, so I
have heard. 1t will not bring back
their lives to take another life, and
surely it were better to be merciful
and teach these despised rebels the
justice and moderation of their OPP
ponents than to set them an ex-
ample of cruelty and vengefulness."

jewelled comb into her complicated
couture and gave the last pats and
touches to her costume.
Carriages began to roll up the ave-
nue., and Jane descended the stairs
that she might assist her stepmother
and Col. Bessemer in receiving their
guests.
None of Bessemer's enemies, and
he had not few, could deny to him the
qualities of taste and energy. The
combination of these with that
fine executive ability which enabled
him always to get full service out
Of those under him had insured the
success of his dance. The scene was
beautiful. Among the trees strolled
many pairs of lovers. Upon the rus
tic benches sat the chaperons and
elderly guests, while the tarpaulin
was gay with dancers moving in the
stately measures Of the minuet or
revealing in the spright]ier move
ments of l~ivelier dances.
There were beautiful women in
plenty; southern women with bright
eyes, animated faces and rich voices,
dressed in the beautiful costumes of
the day, the low-cut bodices, the
flowing skirts, the hair waving over
ears and caught by high, iewelled
combs at the back, the pointed-toed
slippers with flashing buckles, the
flrtatlouS fans and ~cObWebbed hand
kerchiefs.
And as for the men, they were as
gallant a lot as one would wish to
see; the British officers smothered in
red coats and gold lace; the civilians
in knee-breeches, rufied shirts and
silk-lined coats.
Well pleased, Bessemer moved
among his guests, dropping a pleas
ant word here, a, merry jest there,
but never quite losing sight of the
younger hostess. He was aware that
beneath the smiling graciousness
with which she was assisting him
there lurked a certain c~onstraint,
and he could well guess the cause.
One lady, rather exceeding the age
when it was fashionable to be found
still unmarried in those days, tapped
the colonel on the arm with her fan
as he was passing the bench where
she sat.
"Tell me, dear colonel, how many
prisoners did you take to-day? A
marvellous number, from all 1 hear

And spent the dews Of hope.

The eager throng had trod

And one whose load q weighted sore
Looked down at it and smiled,
And dreamed of woodland trails he'd

To follow when a child.
So, still, when bitterness and fret

The morning joys we knew,

NORTH DAKOTA NEWS
Irritation.

u - - -r
The movement in this state IN the
interest of irrigation has received o
new impetus since the North Dakota
delegates returned from attending the
national convention at Ogden, Utah.
A meeting has been called for Oct. 90
21 at Bismark. President j. j. Hill of
the Northern Securities company has
promised to attend and deliver an adj
dress. All other roads have promised
every assistance possible. For once
the interests of the corporations and
those of the people are the same, and
they are working jointly for the in
creased development of the semiarid
region in the western part of the state.
There + $4,000, 900 in the United
States treasury to which the state is
entitled. 1t is simply a question of
using it Immediately or permitting
other states with more energetic hust-
lers to secure the money for the more
gigantic enterprises, while North Da-
kota stands idly by and does nothing.
The people see the necessity of action,
and the October meeting at the state
capital should bring results. The con-
ditions in this state are such that great
good could be accomplished along sim
pie lines. Great tracts could be we'll
watered in many parts of the state by
damming the present creeks and cou-
lees. Small irrigation bitches. from
these would benefit thousands of acres,
and the irrigation could be accom-
plished without any great engineer
ing feats Or immense expense.
If the rainfall could be stored by a
series of dams it could be used to irri-
gate the lands during the inevitable
drouth that occurs during the month
of June in this state. 81.

ed, and others were drawn out of danger
by a railroad engine which brought a
freight train in after the FIRE began At
one time the ties along the railroad were
burning pretty lively. and the intense
heat ignited the fencing and car adj
jacent to the big mill of the jefferson
