s One of the most striking customs OF
the past that are preserved BY the In
dians Of today IS found among the
tribes on the DEVILS Lake resefva-
ton in North Dakota. An official Of
the Indian service gives the following
account Of this peculiar practice:
From time immemorial the Devils
Lake Sioux have adhered to an old
custom IN regard to the treatment of
a guest According to their etiquette,
1t is the bounden duty Of the host to
supply. his guest with all the food he
may desire, and as rule the appor-1'

Worlds Fair, st. Louis, Oct. AT
ter wearing overcoats for q week the
weather man got things twisted around
SO that all hands pinned for linen
busters last Tuesday North Dakota
day. The heat was simply sizzling
and collars soon looked like weeping
willows. The saving grace OF the day,
on the occasion Of the reception to
Governor and Mrs. White and visiting
state officers, was the electric fans
which were going at the rate of 500
revolutions and kept the air in mo-
ton. .jEt ,m,'.% = -. ~.
The reception was an exceedingly
pleasant affair and was marked by
great informaiity, making it really
more pleasing to the states. guests
than if it had been the stiffest function
ever. There was no receiving line,
the guests simply being received by
some of the booth attaches who pre-
sented them to Gov. Bartlett, who in
turn presented them to Gov. and Mrs.
White and Commissioner and Mrs.
Turner. The guests were then served
with REFRESHMENTS that were most ele-
CANT and dainty. The headquarters
booth was beautifully decorated with
palms, smilax, carnations and Ameri.
can beauty roses, and a Filipino
orchestra, concealed in palms, furnish.
ed delightfully."- soft instrumental music
About 500 guests attended the recep-
ton, representing most every nation
upon the earth and including President
Francis, who came accompanied by
nearly all the exposition directors, who
at the close of the reception Cook the
governor and Mrs. White and Mr.. and
Mrs. Turner for a ride around the
grounds in an eight-horse coach. In
the evening all the North Dakotans al
the exposition dined at the Tyrolean
Alps as the guests of the state com
mission in honor of Governor White
a function requiring several hours to
discuss. Altogether the day was most
pleasant and Gov. Bartlett has been
the recipient of many congratulations
upon the novel and unique features,
the handsome decorations, and general
success of the state day.
The judges of award have about
completed their work, and, while re-
suits have not been officially announc-
ed, and will not be for some time,
North Dakota has every reason to be
proud of the showing made. From I'M
official sources we make out that the
agricultural part of the state exhibit
has won about 116 medals ranging as
follows: Five grand prizes as follows:
For beauty and novelty of installation,
for macaroni wheat, best general col
lection of wheats. best general collec-
ton Of grasses and grass seeds. for
butter statue. Sixty-seven gold
medals, 80 silver medals and IA bronze
medals for individual exhibits.
While we are practically certain who
gets these medals we are not at liberty
at this time to make the announcement
as it would, be discourtesy to the
judges to anticipate their report But
can say that very large proportion
OF the awards have gone to the Mis-
souri, slope, particularly to Burleigh

be able to say that compliments In

comment on it by the members Of the

Prope- Treatment OF Pneumonia

Pneumonia Is too dangerous
disease for anyone to attempt to
doctor himself, although he may
have the proper remedies at hand.
A physician should always be called.
1t should be born In mind, however
that pneumonia always results from
a cold or from an attack of the grip,
and that by giving Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy the threatened at
tack of pneumonia may be warded
off. This remedy is also used by
physicians In the treatment Of
pneumonia with the best results.

Baron Won Steuben was the 4FSilma%
ter Of the Continental army at Valley
Forge. At first the men in the ranks
did not know the manual exercise;
many of the officers knew little or moth
ing Of maneuvering. One Of the latter
turned out for inspection In dressing
gown. "Himmei und erde" cried the
baron. What kind Of creature Is thisT'
Baron Won Steuben was cholertc and
profane, but he understood his art. He
swore at the ragged Condnentals in
both German and French, but he taught
them the value of drill and discipline.
When he had exhausted all the French
and German oaths he knew he would
roar to his aid. Come here, Herr Haupt-
mann, and help me curse these block

plined militia into we'll drilled troops.

How many people, when

consider mplications3There
are few. If they would only
investigate the different max
es before deciding on the pur-
chase. there would be fewer

A spring here aud : gear

q lot of inventions, most
people say, "That must be q
good engine. Well, they
buy it. In a little while, to
keep 1t going, they COM
mence to tinker, and the
more time and money spent
the more she gets out of
whack. Then they real.
lie that 1t takes an expert
to do anything with 1t. Now
if they had only bought a
simple engine. one that they
thought would not run be-
cause 1t did not have q lot of
fixtures, they could have
avoided the expense and de
lay.
Our advice to you Is to not
overlook the ''Stoner" when
you are thinking of buying
an engine, as we can prove to
you that 1t Is the simplest en-.
