Registered Hereford Bulls.

10 parties who are is the market for
Registered Hereford Bulls: Do you
know that eleven miles north of Mandan
at Harmon, N. D., there is one of the
largest pure-bred breeding establish
ments in the world? We breed and
raise more up-to-date pure bred bulls
than any firm west of the state of Mis-.
souri, and have on hand for this springs
trade a bunch of bulls that are second to
none in quality and breeding. These
bulls are from cows that have the size
and weight and have the best blood
known to the Hereford breed. Our cows
raise their W calves, do not have to
have a nurse COW to do it for them, and
in the fall are carrying plenty OF flesh
and weigh from 1900 to 1000 pounds
after raising their calves on the native
grasses of North Dakota. We have them
and the scales on our ranch to weigh
them-l5o or o cow this spring or fall
against any bunch of lows and calves of
like number in the U. S. And said cows
will have over 90 per cent of living
calves by their side; there has never
been a year yet that we have not raised
over this per cent OF calves.
We are in a position to protect the
buyer and ourselves. Write, OF. see our:
herd before YOU buy, We are wholesale
breeders of range bulls that are acclima-
ed to this country: You can buy one or
more carloads of these bulls at wholesale
prices. Therefore a v somebody's. prof.
its that has to 60 and ship them in. We
guarantee our bulls to be breeders and
get a certain per cent of calves. Parties
desiring time with good collateral can
be accommodated. Will say that no
parties on earth can ship in from another
state or breeder and undersell US. We
are not to be undersold on good pure.
bred bulls. So do not pay fancy prices
for bulls that have been in some eastern
corn crib all winter for the purpose of
deceiving you, for these bulls are bound
to 20 down in flesh when you turn them
on your range.
Our ranch is connected by local and
long distance telephone. We will meet
you day or night at Mandan and take
you to our ranch and show you 400 head
of as good registered Herefords as you
can see in any bunch Of like number. in
the U. S. We bar none. We have put
in the greater part of Is years in N. d.
Therefore can prove to you that we have
the staying qualities to compete with
any breeder, saying nothing about a
seller who must make a profit and that
is what we can save you. We do not
need to have the law makers of N. D
place a duty on outside bulls to pro-
tect us.
Yours for bulls that can and will trans.
NIT the best of Hereford blood.

Holy Week Begins On Sunday.

Next Sunday will mark the beginning
of that period of rigorous religious obser
vance and leshey notifications known
as Holy week; and the season will be
devoutly recognized in the Catholic and
Episcopal churches of the city. The
marked events of the closing week 81
the life of Christ on earth will be com
memorated by special services of a mos1
solemn character. ~. -.
Observance OF Holy week, as a season
of fasting and sorrow, is one of the. most
ancient of all religious customs. Writ;
ers of as early a period as the third CEN
fury, Tertullian, Lactantius and Chrysos-
tom, mention the fasting of Christians
during this period. BY them the season
is referred to as the "Great week., and
in the early church this time appears to
have been chiefly observed in the in.
creased severity of the Lenten fast
Some Christians observed a strict fas,
throughout the entire week until the
dawn of Easter.
Holy week is the last week of Lent
! and begins with Palm Sunday. On this
day is commemorated the triumpha]
entry of Christ into Jerusalem and the
religious services of this day in the Cath
Ollie church consist of the blessing and
=, distribution of palms, which are carried
by the people in procession. The cere.
monies are divided into three parts, the
blessing and distribution of the palms
the procession and the mass.
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of
Holy week constitute the period of the
Tenebrea, or darkness, and on the even
ings of those days are chanted the mat
ins and lauds for the following morn.
ings. For centuries this office was per.
formed at midnight of those days. but
this custom is now only adhered in mon.
asteries and converts of strictest observ'
ance. Each of the services is designated
a nocturn OF nightly prayer. Everything
is expressive of the great grief that is
upon the church and all formulas of Joy
and hope are omitted.
Thursday of Holy week is the anniver.
saryof the institution of the eucharist
and of the priesthood of, the new law
is called Maundy Thursday, from the
mandatum or precept, the first word o.
the .antiphon, "a new commandment
give YOU.
On Good Friday, commemorative o.
the crucifxion, all services are expires
sive of the deepest grief and sorrow and
on that and the following day the fast is
most rigidly observed. There is nc
mass in the. Catholic churches Frida,
and the church presents every appear
ance of sorrow and pennitential suffer
ing. The altar is stripped of its orna'
ments and the sanctuary is draped in
black.
Holy Saturday is observed in the Cath
olic churches by the chanting of the
prophetic passages of the Old Tesla
ment pointing to the resurrection Of
Christ.

The storm of March 74.25 will long be

tana on Wednesday but it did not get
bad in North Dakota until 10 or II O'Clock
on Thursday. The wind blew from the
northwest and seemed to increase in We
locity during the afternoon and kept up
all night and during the following day.
The falling snow made the storm blind
ing and travel was out of the question.
Mercury registered 4 degrees above zero

No. 2, due in Dickinson Thursday
evening, got stalled in Montata west of
Glendive and No. due here soon after
midnight was stalled near Hebron.
Conductor Porter who VENT west Thurs
day morning with the local freight was
laid up at Sentinel Butte. His engineer
cut off and ran to Beach for water and
coal and could not get back. The local
freight east, the same day, was tied up
at Glen Ullin.
Friday morning the telegraph wires
east were down and it was hard to locate
trains or find out what was going on in
the outside world.
No reports are in from the country,
but it 4 is known that many stockmen had
been out of hay for some time and it is
feared that the loss among sheep and
cattle will be heavy. The stock on
ranches where feed had been scarce was
thin and weak and poorly prepared to
weather the severity of the strom. 1t is
also likelythat many stockmen sent their
herds and aocks out to Craze in the
morning on Thursday and some of them
may have been caught out, in which
event the stock would soon become
scattered.

THE MlKAD0 AND THE JAPANESE DIET.

The humble and indeed almost
groveling, address of the Japan
csc house of representatives to
the mikado is in marked contrast
to the truculent u%tterance of the
representatives in the proceeding
parliment which convened last
November. Then the members of
the house were quivering with
passion because they felt that the
ministry was not pushing the ne
gotiations with Russia as vigor.
ously as it should. The last par
linen was promptly dissolved,
because the mikado was unwilling
to allow his hand to be forced.
The new parliment will have
little to do but vote the supplies
which the government asks for.
That every appropriation bill will
be promptly allowed goes without
saying.
Constitutional government in
Japan is still in a transitional stage.
The powers of the parliment are
rather to be compared with those
of the German reichstag than with
those of the British apartment. In
other words, the ministry is not
responsible to the parliment, but
to the mikado. When the mikado
granted the constitution he re-
served to himself the ultimate au-
thority in manyimportant matters,
and in especial he kept the sole
power of declaring war or peace.
He made parliment rather a body
In which his people could learn
how to govern themselves than a
fully equipped governing body
from the start. That was doubt.

TEMPERANCE WORK.
The local president of the w. c. T
U. has selected the following for tn.
thoughtful consideration of those inter
ested in the betterment of humanity
and this is the line of work the local or
ganization propose to pursue:
AS a working hypothesis, no age ane
no race of men can ever go beyont
Christ's simple dictum, 1.-THE kingdom
of heaven is within you" 1t cometh no
by observation; that is, it cometh no
suddenly, but little by little, imper
ceptibly as n particle after another i
added to ones stature, so by ever
thought, word and deed, that kingdom
has woven its warp and wool, wrough
out its wonderful beauty in our owl
breasts. All pure habits, all health an,
sanity of brain. make for the kingdom
of heaven.
In this connection it will be remember
ed that before Frances Willard died sh
said that if she had her life to live owe
again she would devote it to economic
and the removal of the causes of drink
rather than to the Temperance movemen
per Sc. This expression on the part c
a woman who had spent her life in ten
perance work was significant.
Thoughtful temperance worke,
are beginning to see that the sort of prop
uganda they have carried on for man
years has been an attempt to treat r.
suits instead of causes. A medic:
writer upon the subject of drunkenness
says that many a poor man drinks b,
