after himself; he becomes emaciated,
unable at last to crawl out into the
sun, and, if he has no one to look after
him, soon dies of the disease, or of
starvation. or of exposure.
This disease was first described by
missionaries on the Lower Congo many
years ago. Whole districts and vii
lagos were decimated by It, So fatal
was 1t that no person once affected
was ever known to recover. The mis-
sionaries themselves were sometimes
said to have died of It, but no case
has yet occurred in Uganda Of Euro
pean being attacked by the disease. In
recent years cases have been reported
from Senegambia, from the hinterland
OF Sierra Leone, from the Upper Niger
and other places in West Africa.

now prevails, Is under the British pro-
tectorate and recently a railroad has

CANNON TELLS A STORY.
Congressman Has a Great Fund o
.cdotes-His Tariff Views.

COngressman Has q Great Fund of
An.cdotes-His Tariff Views.
Congressman Taylor of Ohio, while
expressing his admiration for Con-
gresham Cannon Of Illinois, who Is to
become speaker Of the new house of
representatives, said. the New York
Times writes:
Cannon has the greatest fund of
homely anecdotes to illustrate points of
any man.I ever knew. At banquet
in Washington, where the contest for
the speakership was referred to in a
humorous way by number Of the
speakers, Mr.. Cannon was called upon
to speak.
~ must confess. he said, to have
experienced considerable embarrass-
ment during the contest for the speak
ership. One of the Democratic papers
of Chicago. with the idea Of stirring
up trouble, was demanding in its edi-
torial columns every day to know what
my views on the tariff were. A few
days before the caucuses Of several
of the states young man from the
paper came to me and said his paper
was very anxious to secure an express
sion from me on the subject.
'"Young man." | said to him, Il
don't know you. and l don't know
whether you would respect my conf
dence if were to talk to you"
Having assured me that he would

He inspected all the cages and finally
he came to that one in which there

The Game at Omemee.

The Souris ball team went down to
Omemee on Tuesdays train to cross
bats with Omemee. After considerable
waiting the game was called at $50
p. m. We stood out in the broiling hot
sun and watched as ragged game as is
often seen on diamond. At the end Of
the fifth innings the score stood to O in
favor of Souris, Omemee having piled
up errors too numerous to count. At
this stage of the game Chadderdon went
into the box for Omemee and Brenna
took his place behind the bat. This
marked change in the game Omemee
started in to slug the ball and Souris to
pile up errors The final score stood ID
to 13 in favor of Souris. Chadderdon
allowed but two hits during the four in
nings. The four runs made by Souris
were due to errors on the part of the
home team. The field work done by
Souris during the last part of the game
was very ragged and helped to swell
Omemee s score. 81. n

Of the reasons why more people didn't

Don't Knock.

There was one feature that was dis
agreeable to those who like clean ball.
and that was the continual knocking
of some of the spectators against the
home team. If you are not suited with
the team express your. disaproval to-
the management, or the players if you
will, but it shows very poor taste to
get out and knock against the home
team during game. Some of the re-
marks addressed to individual players
during the course Of Wednesdays
game were altogether too rank. This
is the last thing that crowd of spec
tators should be guilty of. The game
is one of the cleanest sports of the day.
Do not spoil it by knocking, even
though at times you may think it is
justi1able.

fault of the land however, as has re-
Gently been proven since the advent Of
several good farmers here. Land
agents have told me that they can sell
five sections Of land west Of Bottineau
for every quarter east. AS I have said
it is not the fault Of the land. For in
stance we have the statement Of one
farmer to the effect that he has raised
26 bushels of wheat per acre on the ad-
joining quarter to one which yielded
only 13. Investigation proved that
while one quarter was faithfully culti-
waited the other was worked in a care
less manner. To clear our farms of
the bad name we have we should like
intending buyers to visit the farms Of
Messrs, Fulwiler, Schoonmaker, De.

convinced that this section can be
made to yield as good crop as any
