Plerre.s New Tune

Mitchell Gazette: For the past
dozen years the daily papers OF the
northwest have contained special dis
a tches from Pierre, showing the train
loads OF cattle and sheep that were
shipped to eastern markets from that
point, which are ''summered and win
tered on the nutritious native grasses
that grow so abundantly in Hughes,
Hyde. Stanley, Nowlin and other n
counties" Not more than four
months ago the papers were full OF
such news, but suddenly a halt was
called and the special dispatches from
Pierre assumed another form. Many
wondered what had dropped at the
center of the range shipping district
to cause them to pull OFF the special
correspondents from the live stock in
dustry. Upon investigation it was
soon learned that they news gatherers
at Pierre had been called down to the
Office of the capital committee and in
formed that cattle and sheep could
not vote, and therefore their special
dispatches must take another form
until after the election Of 1904. The
bright newspaper boys of Pierre were
not long in catching onto the capital
committees suggestion and they at
once began to fill the dailies with
special dispatches showing the increas-
ed number Of homesteaa entrymen
that were filing on government land
that had laid vacant for thirteen years
near the state capital.

H<.l-to-do Boer farmers and few well bred children of English percentage. Many of them are not (excepting the signs of leprosy on them) obviously i'll. Tn Cape Colony no one who has these signs, whether native ora foreigner, is Safe. If the latter he is not allowed to take ship home, but is forthwith con- signed for life to what is practically a leper prison. If any of them could once get to Paris or to London they would be wholly free from restraint. There is no leper segregation law in Europe, and if the disease were unrecognized- as would be perfectly possible-the suf- ferers might mix without precautions with the community. Neither London nor Paris has at any time during the last century been without a certain number of immigrant lepers, and in no single instance, says Dr. Hutchinson, has there been any suspicion of conta- zion. If leprosy results from eating bad fish, he adds. it is but little more reasonable to imprison it's victims than it would be to shut up, those who suffer from gout.

BIC CHIEF

The Russian Admiral Alexieff is a big chief His place, officially called an imperial lieutenancy, was created for him about six months ago by an im- perial ukase. To him has been given all the civil. military and maritime power not only of Manchuria but of the three great Siberian provinces east of Lake Baikal. Over all this immense territory he has absolute authority; he has complete control of the diplomatic relations of Russia with Japan, China and Corea; he has command of all ships in Pacific waters and all troops in the Far East wherever stationed. With these great powers he is indeed a vice autocrat under him the war can be carried on much as if St. Petersburg were on the spot, and not six thousand miles away.
 If things don't go any better with Russia than they have been going Ad- miral Alexieff will wish he was smaller, but if the Russians are victorious he may turn out to be even bigger than he is now.

N ENIGMATICAI, cIIARACTE

 AN ENIGMATICAL CHARACTER.
 Fenclcn's character was full of para
 doxes. of the contradictions of opposite
 qualities. At once pliant and obstinate, spontaneous and cautious. revolutiona-
 " and conservative, his nature in the main breathed out a delicious perfume of affection to all the world. He be- longs to that class of men whom opti- mists instinctively adore and cynics ha- bitually suspect. The record of his life reveals the excuisite culture of the
 worldly gentleman united with the ex- alted devotion of the saint; and yet,
 While one reads his plea of love for the universal brother, and even observes his
 unfaltering practise of the principle, one cannot rid oneself of the haunting suggestion that the gentleman is bid- ding for popularity and the saint is playing discreet game of self-seeking.
 He never does anything to be eensured
 severely, but he fails to convince one of flls undivided sincerity. Fortune fa-
 vered him inwardly; the itinerary of his personal ambition ran directly along the road to honor and heaven. He was forced into no battles; no compromises. with conscience; his motives, therefore,
 were intrenched behind deeds of righ- teousness, and one cannot irnpugn them without sense of uncertainty and pos- sible njustice.-Prosessor A. E. Han

For day and a night Love sang to us, played with us, Folded us round from the dark and the light; And our hearts were fulfilled of the music he made with us, Made with our hearts and our lips while he stayed with us, Stayed in mid passage his pinions from flight For a day and night. From his foes that kept watch with his wings had he hidden us, Covered us close from the eyes that would smte, From the feet that had tracked and the tongues that had chidden us, Shelterilg in shade of the myrtles forbidden us Spirit and flesh growing one with delight For day and night. But his wings will not rest, and his feet will not stay for us; Morning is here in the joy of its might; With his breath has he sweetened night and a day for us; Now let him pass. and the myrtles make way for us; Love can but last in us here at his height

4 COMPLIANT ABOUT E nUssrA.

Perhaps it isn't surprising that Amer ican enterprise isn't as well received iia
 Russia as it might be. Russia is more friendly to Russia than to anybody else MT. A. M. Ford has been looking into the matter, and according to him
 Americans have not received fair play in the Czars dominions, but, on the contrary, have been subjected to great wrongs. The only interest the Russian
 government appears to have in foreign enterprise is to convert it as soon as possible into purely Russian affair, and there is little scruple concerning the means employed. One instance cited l is that of the Westinghouse Air Brake company, which the government in
 duced by promises of liberal treatment
 and large annual contracts to erect
 workshops in Russia employing a thou sand workmen, most of them Aneri- cans taken to the country. After a time hints equivalent to demands were made that all the American workmen should be discharged and Russians sub stituted. Contracts for a years supply of air brakes were cancelled. and rival American concern was coaxed to estab- fish another plant at Moscow. The ap-
 parent design, according to MT. Ford,
 is to play the companies against each
 other, and eventually land one of them
 in the fold of purely Russian works
 The companies are still fighting for ex-
 istence. The Singer Sewing Machine
 company is said to have had similar experience. MT. Ford's conclusion is:
 'Russiafs engaged in bounding from
 her vast continent almost the last American enterprise which came there at her invitation
 If this is true Russia may not con-
 tinue to be as well liked in this coun-
 try as she has been.

Jonathan Hutchinson, the famous ex- pert on skin diseases and authority on leprosy, protests vigorously against the delusion that leprosy is contagious. or infectious, except in the possible but
 unlikely case of any one swallowing the germ in food taken directly from the hand of leper. He quotes many striking illustrations of this fact, and inveighs against the tyranny that con- demns the victims of this disease to lifelong isolation. He dilates upon the cruel lot of the five hundred lepers kept on Robbers Island, off Cape Town. Es- cape is impossible: no return home is allowed, while the visits of friends are very rarely permitted. It would be difficult to exaggerate the misery of these unfortunates. Hottentots and Cape boys supply the greater number, but all classes and many nations find their representatives. Among them are

THE FREE SEED FARCE.

The governments s annual distribution of seeds is now being made, and the usual remarks are being made about it. When this laid to agriculture" was be- gun $1,OOO a year was appropriated, and now the cost of the work is about $29O,- 900 annually. This is a. remarkable in- crease in sixty years. This year these seeds weigh in the aggregate thousands of tons, and to each congressman are allowed 12.50O packages, costing $6 a 1000.
 All the congressman are not in love with the free seed farce. For instance, Morris Sheppard, who halls from the town of Texarkana and represents the First Texas district in congress. He has received the following letter from a valued constituent: Dear Sir-I wish you would send me the seed and other things which I mention below One peck of some good early corn, one bushel of cotton seed and some good sorghum seed. and union suit of clothes-a coat SS in size and pants sS-S4-and anything else you are mind to send me. I am in need of all these things, and they will be gladly receiv- ed. Of course and why not? If the government sends out free seeds why shouldn't it send out other things that the good people want? Perhaps it will by and by, and then this will be an even happier land than it is.

The most powerful effects of tobacco are to be obtained through the habit of chewing. Next in order is the use of the cigar, which includes both smoking and chewing.

In Siberia the houses in every village upon the main street facing the road have little windows with shelves about six feet above the ground, and on these shelves the inmates place whatever food they have to spare. This is a custom handed down from former pe- riod to aid escaped prisoners, the shelves being placed at that height so as to prevent dogs from getting at the food.

Two of the busiest young men in New York are John Jacob Astor and Peter Cooper Hewitt. both millionaires Astor rarely misses a day at his office in Twenty sixth street, where he works as hard as any clerk in the place.

Young Hewitt is equally industrious, putting an a great many hours in his workshop in the Madison Square Garden tower And real shop it is too.

It is understood that President Roosevelt's elaborate entertaining at the White House is compelling him to make inroads upon his private fortune. The s5o,0o0 he receives as salary from the government is far too small to stand the strain of a constant success sion of receptions, dinners, luncheons, musicales and teas. Few of his prede- cessors in office saved anything, and President Roosevelt has surpassed all of them in the brilliancy of the func- ations that have made the White House the real center of Washington society gayety.

Comnissary General Weston has de- cided that the army ought to have something better than ordinary canned corned beef hash when it is impossible to serve the men with the fresh articles. He directed his assistants to get up a select recipe for making hash of fresh beef and fresh vegetables. He had sev- eral sample lots sent to the canners for preparation in cans and these were distributed among some of the Western posts. Reports are now coming in as to how the men like the connection. From all accounts they like it very well, there being no kicks against fresh beef hash. General Weston has decid- ed to adopt it as part of the regula- ton ration, to be issued only when it is not practicable to serve the men with fresh meat and fresh vegetables.
