A MOUNTAIN DINNER.
VAirty-Six Gents, Worth OF Country
Fare That "Went Right to
the Spot"

t00 SpOt"
"Mr. Stoggly;" said the host, passing
the plate to his guest as he spoke, have
some more Bread
Thank you," said Mr.. Stoggly, Il
guess I will. It ia delicious bread.
Makes me think of some ate last sum-
mer that thought was the best ever
tasted"
How was that?" said the host.
why" said Mr.. Stoggly, three Of us,
husky young men with healthy appetites
all, started one day from place in the
country where we were spending our
vacation to walk to little eminence.
locally known as mountain, some eight
miles distant. We had delightful
walk, and when we got to it we climbed
the mountain, and then when we had de-
scended it we came upon brook in the
neighborhood in WHICH we found pool
that was big enough and deep enough
for us to battle in. Delightful, that bath
was, after the long summer days walk
and the trip to the mountain top.
And after that bath, naturally, we
were hungry-very hungry; and We
started for the nearest farmhouse to get
something to eat.
"On the way we took account of our
financial means and found that We had
among US, altogether, &c cents. But
that didn't worry us.
I'VE put 1t all into the hands Of the
man who was to be the spokesman for
the party and marched up to the back
door of this farmhouse and knocked. A
nice looking woman, older than any of
us, and with a very pleasant, kindly
face, came to the door.
MADAM said our spokesman, we
have 36 cents, and we would like some
thing to eat
"'What would you like?' the lady
asked us.
eve don't care what said our
spokesman, but we would like all you
can give US for Sc cents
Il think she must have rather taken
to us; we were all young men, and may
be she had son of her own of about our
age in the world somewhere; but any,
how, she brought out from the kitchen a
table which she set on the grass in the
yard, in the shade Of big tree, and then
she brought out three chairs.
"And on the table she placed two large
loaves Of homemade bread, plate con-
tanning, I should think, about two
pounds of butter, and a can with about
six quarts Of milk in it. And she gave US
a knife to cut the bread and knives to
eat with and tumblers to drink out Of.
"And We sat there in the pleasant
shade Of the big tree and ate and drank
and enjoyed the food nightly. It was
delicious bread, the incest of butter and
the sweetest and coolest of milk. And
when we were through there was moth
ing left on the table but the plates and
the knives and the milk can.
s., "'And then we went out by the brook
again, where we had taken the bath, ;.
and lay down on the grassy bank there
and rested for an hour, like three sur
feited young serpents; and then, in
happy frame, we walked home again."
"A pleasant recollection my bread has
brought back to you," said the host,
"and have much enjoyed the recital
of it."
"And your bread, beg to say, Is so
much like that of which have told you
that I'd thank you for another slice"
said Mr.. Stoggly, whose farmhouse ap-
petite apparently had not deserted him

you if you'll undertake the trip, old
chap. It's dangerous, know, but what
they offer to do, apart from cost of

Amasses Fortune in Alaska.

After an absence of six years in
Alaska, George Noeller has retur nee
to Deadwood to visit friends during the
winter. He will then return to the
gold fields. He tells great stories OF
the fields where he has made a fortune.
Bold Holdup in Daylight.
One of the most daring holdups ever
committed in the Hills took place at
Kirk Saturday when Mark Christian
sonlwas forced to give up money to a
couple of young men or take chances of
being bored full Of holes. The bold
highwaymen escaped and have not yet
been captured.
Fire Destroys Farm Home.
The farm residence of John Jordan,
eight miles southwest of Armour, was
destroyed by fire Wednesday. There
was no one at home and how the fire
originated Is beyond conjecture. The
house and contents were totally des-
troyed, with no insurance. The whole
country is contributing to the relief of
the suffers.
Were In a Hurry.
AS Father Reed was reading mass for
the souls of the dead at Appleton, he
was interrupted by John Duchaine and
Kate Barrett and asked if he would
marry them. The priest performed
the ceremony, and the prayers for the
dead were continued. Fears of parental
objection caused the haste of the Young
couple.
Body of Todd Found.
The body Of G. M. Todd, who disap-
pef tired from his farm fifteen miles
northwest of Miller about three weeks
ago, was found Saturday, by deputy
sheriffs, buried beneath a light cover
ing Of dust nea an outhouse on his
farm. Two bullet holes in his breast
and his head was badly battered told of
. murder that was committed some
time ago. The discovery Of the body
will now lead to an exhaustive search
for Jacob johnson, who formerly lived
near Todd's farm and who also disap-
peared some weeks ago. It is the
opinion..that johnson, il alive, knows
something Of the crime; but it ia also
limited that he, too, may have been the
victim Of murder at the time Todd dis-
appeared, the motive suggested being
robbery. Both Of the men were pos.
sessed Of money and stock. The
property OF both disappeared at the
they were missed, and this leads
to . theory Of double murder BY robbers
although many believe that johnson
killed Todd and made his getaway with
all the Possessions Of both. Todd lived
ON his farm. It is understood he
had a family near Waterloo. Iowa
The inquest over the body Of Todd was
postponed until yesterday, the officers
hoping for some developement. J

She wears a dress--it cost no less
Than ninety-fve simoleons;

Some dismal spirit haunted It;
It has no style-but she will smile;
Another woman wasted it,"

Weird wall designs and ugly stems;
Strange foods-she's always trying

What We sell to Manohurla.


The trade of the United States with
Manchuria, China, shows no precep,
tible change in 1902 as compared with
1901. Figures just compiled by the
department of commerce and labor
show that the total imports into tho
port of Newschwang, the principal
doorway through which Manchuria is
at present supplied, amounted in 1904
to 100000 haikwan taels in value.
against 100000 in 1901 and 5000.
600 In 1900. The official report of
the Chinese government does not
specify all classes of merchandise re.
ceived into Newchwang from the
United States, but does specify the
four principal articles-American
jeans, drills, sheeting5 and kerosene.
TIE total velue Of these four articles
OF American production reported as
brought into Newchwang in 1907. |
either coming direct from the United
states or from other ports of China
was 6'llS's2O haikwan taels. which at
the official valuation OF the kaikwan
tael in 1902 would make the total
value in United States currency 81.
