Pierre, fully five acres of massive
scenery is required, and in the thrill
ling scenes Of the. great spectacle
more than four hundred performers
will participate.
The fireworks feature this season
will be on the same elaborate scale
that has always characterized pain
productions, and will include many
pyrotechnic novelties never before
seen, many Of the fiery devices being
duplicates Of pyrotechnic designs
especially prepared for the great dis
play given at the dedication of the
St. Louis Exposition.
The Minnesota State Fair is making
abundant provision for the special de-
partment devoted to woman's work
and interests, and it is expected that
for this and other reasons there will
be a larger attendance of women
than ever before. The new Woman's
Building, which was opened last year,
is in charge of Mrs. NJ. L. Luther, as

He Put Up His Gun.

One of the best practical farmers re-
lated to US the other day how he came
to change his mind about killing
birds. He said he formerly took q
great deal of pleasure with his gun
and dogs. About six months after
coming to the territory he told his
wife he would 60 out and kill q few
quail. 1t was about 4 O'Clock; so cal
ling his dogs he started out on his
own farm.
He sson shot three quail, and his
wife, knowing that it he got thoroly
Interested in the pursuit of game he
would be out till long after supper
time, persuaded him to come back to
the house and they would have sup
per, when he could 60 again. :.
"An right" said the farmer, II
will dress these and we'll have them
Tor supper" His wife remarked on
the fullness OF the craw of the birds,
and on opening one found it packed
full Of chluch bugsl Out of curiosity
they counted and found over four
hundred dead chinch bugs IN the craw
OF one quail! ..-.z. r. h. :.
Said the fa1 1mer in relating the cir.
cumstance to US: ~ just cleaned up
the gun and have not shot q bird
since, and II you II come down to my
place OF . morning or evening and
lsee the birds coming to my. farm you'll
think they know their friends. Hen.

The afternoon has become dark:
leaden clouds are rapidly hiding the

them falls full upon the white face
Of the gentle Andalucian. Soledad
remains kneeling. her lips move slow

the woman remover all need OF them;
instead her fingers press with nervous
movements, a little watch that marks
with desperate slowness the hours Of
the interminable struggle.

SEVEN MILLIONS IN coin.
Greatest Amount Of Bumon Ever Car

Greatest Amount OF Bullion Ever Car
ried in a single Vessel
Il notice that the newspapers have
recently spoken Of the carrying Of ST.
600, 900 Of bullion to a foreign country
by n of the ocean liners as the
greatest amount ever transported. .
said a man who has been with the
navy for years to a reporter. 1T is
entirely wrong. In 1885 there was
brought from the mint in Nev Orleans
to the treasury in Washington SILL
100000, and let was brought in a
steamer.
THE government decided to trans
port S15, 0O0. 600 from New Orleans. It
was first thought best to bring 1t by
rail, but this was assuming 9 great
risk. The cabinet discussed tie mat
ter carefully and it was finally decided
that the safest way would be by water.
The members of the cabinet saw that
there was a chance for a hold-uD If the
money was brought by train.
THE United States ship Swatara
was first designated to carry the
money, but it was found TINT she
would be inadequate to transport the
whole amount, so the wooden sailing
steame Yantic was pressed into SER
vice to help out. We removed from
the Swatara her magazines. Thu shells
from the shellroom were reno red. as
were also the sails from the sallroom,
so that all available space was utilized
for packing the coin. The only weap-
on of defense was a Calling gun.
The money was conveyed from the
mint to the vessels in wagons. A
squad of secret service officers watch
ed the WORK. The two vessels were
in tow and the trip from New Orleans
to the Washington hayward occupied
a little more than four days. Consid-
cradle wind was encountered off Hat
teras, but otherwise the trip was
without incident. The money was car
ried from the navy yard t the treas
ury by an express company.
The money was in boxes OF $4,000
each and in bags. My recollection is
that the money was in silver dollars,
or the greater part of it, for, while
unloading at the maynard, one of the
bags, rotten from being in storage so
long, gave way, and a large number of
silver dollars were scattered about the
wharf.
THE Swatara was a historic craft.
John Surratt was brought back from
Malta In the Swartara. The prince of
Wales, now King Edward, paid her a
visit once when she was with the
American squadron at Villefranche in
the Mediterranean. She was then
the flagship. The prince, when he saw
her, asked:
is this a yacht or a man of war;
THE Swatara is now in rotten row
in the hayward at San francisco,
waiting to be surveyed. The 911,0OO,-
900 carried by the Swatara from New
Orleans to Washington was the great
est amount Of money ever carried by
a single craft"

Chest etory Of a Poor Esqulmau Who
Came Acquiring Too Late.

Chest etory Of a Poor Esqulmau Who
Came Acquiring Too Late.
Here's a ghost story out Of the or
binary that was told by the young
woman to whom II happened. She Is
a young person not given to romano
ing and she says she still has, and
can produce, the corpus deficit. Per.
haps there's a little love tragedy in
It, too, because It was sad, If he really
liked the lady, that he should have
met her so late In his career.
This young woman's brother went
somewhere up along the northerly
coast Of Greenland on a government
expedition and when he came back he
brought his sister an Esquimau skull
which she put on her mantel-piece. 1t
was n of those mantel-pieces with a
rail about a half an inch high all
around it.
One afternoon the girl was reading
by the window in her room when she
heard a thump and looked up just in
time to see the skull roll half way
across the rom toward her. She
thought it was strange that the thing
should have rolled off the mantel-
piece because of the railing, but she
picked 1t up and put 1t back without
thinking any more about It.
A night or two later, after she had
been in bed and asleep for several
hours, she was awakened by another
thump. She sat up in bed and listened,
and bumpl bump! came several more
thumps, not SO loud, but just like
something solid hopping across the
floor.
1t thumped all the way from the
mantel-piece until it got under the
head of her bed, and there it stopped.
She couldn't imagine what it was, and
after listening a little longer and hear
ing nothing else she lay down and
wen to sleep again.
She had forgotten all about the dis
turbance in the morning and got I'D
and went down to breakfast without
noticing anything out of the way.
When she came back to her room
the chambermaid was there with the
skull in her hand.
Miss Esther, isn't it funny?" said
the maid. Here I've found this skull
under the head of your bed"
Then the young woman remem-
bered the noise of the night before and
the way the thing had tumbled off the
mantel-piece and rolled toward her
several days before, and she thought it
was strange, too. Later in the morn
ing she told her brother who had given
her the skull about her experiences.
We'll, that's rather queer" said the
brother. That skull was given to me
by a sailor who said he wouldn't have
anything more to do with it because
he couldn't keep it from hopping
across his room"

brand which he recommends. Now"

Mr.. Smith gasped and seized a pad

sage after message.
'"Fraid the folks at home will
worry?" was the next question.
1T isn't that replied Mr.. Smith.

that have the smallpox. There will
be twenty candidates for my place be-

lows will be praying that the disease
will result fatally. Up in Michigan a
