FOR A MONUMENT.

Bottineau Courant: A movement is
on foot to erect a suitable monument
in honor of Jack Byron of Co. D First
North Dakota Volunteers, who was
killed at Kings Bluff in the Philip
pine Islands, on April /, 1899. De-
spite the fact the Co. D. boys saw
hard fighting Byron was the only man
killed. He received a wound in the
left shoulder from which he died
thirty-fve days afterwards. Ameri-
cans have never been slow to do honor
to those who fought and fell meath
the. stars and stripes and we hope
there will be a ready response in this
case. Jack Byron was known to quite
a number of Bottineau people and we
feel that our citizens should help to
erect the monument in his honor.
Those who are disposed to assist can
leave their contributions with us or
forward them to Captain Coggswell of
Devils Lake.

STIRRING, CHAPTER OF
STANDARD OIL.

That is certainly a stirring chapter
of Standard Oil History which Miss
Tarbell n~arrates in the April Nc
Clure's, and which she calls "The
Defeat of the Pennsylvania" The
fight arose over the building, in 1877.
by the Empire Transportation Co., a
protege of the Pennsylvania, of a
couple of Independent refneries. Mr..
Rockefeller objected and called On the
Pennsylvania to stop the Empire.
The Pennsylvania refused and the
fight was on. It did not last long.
Things went against the railroad
from the start, and in the spring Of
1877, the Pennsylvania passed it's first
dividend. The Standard at the sans
time paid a dividend of so per cent.
Needless to say, the Pennsylvania ac-
copied defeat, the Independent rein.

where Mr.. Rockefeller, always on the
lookout. promptly picked them up,
and the railroad. a month or SO later,
was again shipping Standard Oil at
Standard rebates. It vas about this
time that Mr.. Vanderbilt sold his
Standard stock. 81 think they are

story goes a good way to suggest.

five years. This man holds the lines
of the pattern against a revolving
steel wheel covered with fine flint
sand. This grinds the pattern into
the glass. The "rougher" must cut
his lines to just the right depth,
neither too deep nor too shallow.

greatest care in polishing the glass or
he will ruin it.

orders, especially the large pieces.
One of the finest pieces ever turned

THE ETERNAL QUESTION.

Is there God, a Father over all,
Is there some mighty force that rules
the spheres?
Is there Deity behind the wall
OF Heaven and the mystery OF years?
Where was he, then, when like the fires
OF hell
The ceaseless strength of nature shook
and heaved?
Did he not heed, can no wise prophet tell
Is Heaven true, or are We all deceived ?
Does he not love us, his children, best,
And would he not, in his all-potent
love,
Raise His right arm, and lull the wrath
to rest,
He, infinite in power, who reigns above
Is there some stronger force, some great
er law,
That masters Him, and makes His
wisdom weak,
Is there not some greater might that none
fOresaw,
o God, if Thou art God, canst Thou not
speak?
And in the whispers OF the forest flowers
And in the murmurs of the running
spring,
And in the warmth and cool of summer
showers,
And in the life of every hum BILE thing
/ read his answer: Seek and ye may find,
'Tis only he who doubts is really blind

TEA LEAVES AND FORTUNES.
Philadelphia Ledger.

First, the one whose fortune is to be
told should drink little of the tea
while it is hot, and then pour away
the rest, being careful not to turn out
the grounds in doing so, and also not
to look at them, as that would be bad
luck.
Then she must turn the cup over so
that no water remains, for drops of
water in the tea grounds signify tears.
Next, she must turn the cup around
slowly toward her three times, wishing
the wish OF her heart as che turns it.
After this she must rest it minute
against the edge OF o saucer-to court
luck.
Then the fortune may be read.
Three small dots in a row stand for
the wish. If near the top of the cup
it will soon be realized. If at the bot
som, some time will elapse or it will
never come true.
If the grounds are punched together
It signifies that all will be we'll with
the fortune seeker; but il they are
scattered it remains the reverse.
A small speck near the top is let
ter. A large speck present of some
kind.
The sticks are people with whom
one will soon be brought in contact
light or dark, short or Tall. according
to the color and length of the sticks.
A small one means a child, thick

its back is bearer OF bad news.
A line OF leaves with no openings

Labor Expended in Grinding.
Cut.glass articles are SO expensive
that most people are unable to own
any. Many persons wonder why they
cost so much. The high prices are
due to the time required to turn ont
q perfect article and the skill neces-
sary to the work. Cut-glass can be
made from but one kind of sand.
This is nearly all silica and is found
in the Berkshire Hills and in one
place in Russia. This sand is quite
valuable, and forms a considerable
part of the expense. 1t is almost as
white and as fine as the best sugar.
This sand is mixed with red lead,
potash. saltpeter and other minerals
and heated to temperature OF about
300 degrees. When melted it forms q
beautiful rose-colored mass that is
ductile but not fluid. From this
mass the glass blower blows blank
in the form of the article desired.
This is gradually cooled in a furnace.
When 1t is cool enough to stand ordi-
nary temperature the blank" goes to
the marker who draws design or pat
tern on it with a red lead. Workmen
are often paid from $25 10 800 for one
of these designs if it proves popular
when out on the market.

THE CONTRAST.

Twas God who gave the golden
silk diadem, her hair.
To Satan she's beholden
For all the curls are there.
God built that sweet and simple
And tender mouth OF hers.
The Devil dug the dimple
Where mischief stays and stirs.
The Lord, her eyes, whose flash is
So true and pure, set in.
Mephisto placed the lashes,
That tiirt, and tease, and win.
Her brow the Master fashioned
AS white as snOwbird's down.
Nick added that impassioned.
That swift, imperious frown.
With one caress, Jehovah
Her cheeks, make smooth and clear.
Then grinned the thief and drove a
Thin trace-line for a sneer.
Late, when it come to filling
The pretty creatures head
Why, God was very willing
To rest space, He said.
So that the wary Devil
He used his mighty start
Within that head to revel.
But God He filled the heart.

CHRONIC INDIGESTION.
Some Causes for It and Suggestions for
Relief.

The causes af chronic indigestion
are manifold, but usually and almost
always in the beginning, even when
tbs stomach finally becomes actually
diseased, the condition is due to i'm
proper eating. 1t may not be that the
sufferer eats too much-although very
many people who are not gluttons do
that-but he eats improperly. One
who suffers from dyspepsia. or who
wishes to avoid such suffering, should
remember that the stomsc cannot do
all the work of digestion. Before it
enters the stomach the food must be
finely divided and mixed with saliva,
which is as certainly digestive fluid
as is the gastric juice. Gladstone, it
is said, used to chew every mouthful
OF food thirty-two times, one for each
tooth, before he swallowed it.
Long mastication OF the food is USE
ful in many ways. In the first place,
it should appeal to all who delight in
the pleasures OF the table, for if the
food is savory it is tasted longer and
better when we'll chewed. Again, long
mastication mixes the food we'll with
the saliva and begins its digestion, and
this sweetens the starchy food and i'm
proves its taste. Finally, if one eats
slowly he will have less time to eat
much, and hunger is appeased and a
feeling OF safety is attained.
While one is chewing, the food
should be moved from side to side OF
the mouth that the admixture with
the saliva may be more thorough.
Too much fluid should not be taken
with the meal, but it is not wise plan
to take none, as is sometimes recon.
mended. The gastric juice should not
be too much diluted, but if the food is
we'll moistened the juice acts better
and more rapidly. One glass of water
with meal is about the right amount.
Cool water, moreover, in moderate
quantity stimulates the secretion OF
gastric juice, and wineglassful of ice
water taken before the meal gives a
FLIP to the appetite without any OF
the drawbacks of liquor.
In spite OF all the precautions chron-
ic indigestion persists, one should try
the experiment OF eating only one
kind OF food at a meal-meat, fish or
eggs without bread and potatoes, or
bread and butter without animal food.
The stomach which rebels at q mixed
meal will often do its work satisfac.
torily il offered only one article OF food
at q time.

HIS STRENUOSlTY.

With constant strenuosity
He hikes the country DER,
The peoples curiosity
Impels them all to pour
With great impetuosity
Where the mad thrOngs roar.
No impecuniosity
Could keep the folks at home,
Some think him a monstrosity,
A pixy, or q gnome,
Amid the grand pomposity
When Teddy starts to roam.
He uses no verbosity
When chatting with the crowd,
Through utmost reciprocity
In speaking is allowed.
With moderate velocity.
In accents clear and loud,
He praises race .precOcity
And folks with twins endowed.

The recent massacres of the Jews
in Bessarabia are now said to have
been provoked by what is known as
the " Blood Accusation" It's charged
by the Russians that the Jewish rabbis
killed Christian child for its blood
to be used in the unleavened bread Of
the Passover. This is an old charge
and has been revived from year to
