cross the waste area that stretches a
distance of 80 miles from Los Vegas to

all found within a radius of a quarter of
a mile around Dead Mans Well"
This Dead Mans Well" is about half

was sunk many years ago to provide

The people of North Dakota do

The people Of North Dakota do
not ask that large sums of money
be spent on useless enterprises
in their state. If irrigation will
not pay here we do not want to
lrrigate. Butttthe- desultory and
incomplete Investigations that
have been carried on have shown
that there are sections of no in
considerable extent where irriga-
ton is practicable, and where it
would be profitable. This is not
mere theory, as experiments in
this line have actually been made
by individuals on their own &C.
count, and the results have been
remarkably satisfactory. What
the people of this state do want,
and what they have a right to in
sist on is that the money in the
irrigation fund derived from the
sale of lands within their own
state be not invested in other
states until it has been demon
strated by thorough and careful
investigation, that government
irrigation is impracticable in
North Dakota. This is the senti-
ment that was expressed at the
rrigation convention at Bismarck
last fall. To bring the subject
properly to the attention of con-
gress considerable work is nee
essary. A great deal of data
must be collected, and this data
must be placed in proper shape.
The whole state is Interested.
The suggestion was made at the
convention that each county
board appropriate 500 for this
work. This is not unreasonable.
and if this is done, and there is a
reasonable response from indivi-
duals throughout the state in the
shape of the payment of annual
dues i'll the sum Of two dollars
each, a sun sufficient to defray
the necessary expenses will be
secured, It is practically GER
tain that unless something of this
kind is done, and at once, North
Dakota will never see a cent of
that irrigation fund. - Grand

NO AGREEMENT is IN SIGHT
Operators and Miners Continue Con.
ference on Wage Scale.
Feared-Outlook Considered
Serious.

indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 2.-The In
diana, Ohio, Illinois and western
Pennsylvania coal operators and min
ers' joint scale committee got to work
Monday on the .counter-demands pre-
sented in open joint conference last
week. Both sides indicated before 60
Ing to conference that they did not ex-
pect to refer any report back to the
general joint conference before
Wednesday.
Both operators and miners fear a
disruption of the present central COM
petitiye field agreement at this time
and there were Monday indications
that it will begin with the Illinois
operators forming a settlement with
the miners on practically their full de-
mands. Such a settlement would mean
little concession on the part of the IL
lnois operators, while it would mean
q complete reorganization and a mate
rial advance in Ohio and western
Pennsylvania to which it is thought
the operators of those two states
would not consent. The Indiana
operators, in case of a split, would be
expected to go with Illinois and to
make a settlement with the miners.
The outlook is considered serious.
Several Of the Ohio and Pennsylvania
operators said that a shutdown OF the
mines for at least six weeks would be
. good thing for them.
The operators claim that an analysis
Of, the miners demands shows that they
81 equal q 10 per cent. increase in wages. 1t
Is reported there is no possibility OF an
; early agreement and some doubt is ex-
pressed Of an agreement being reached

MANNERS IN BUSINESS.

drains spd Good Department Win

I The value OF brains in business can
not be oveYestimated, of course; but
neither can the value. of manners.
Don't make the error of supposing that
brains are everything. You may have
the best set of brains in the town, but
II you haven't the manners Of n gentle
man nobody Is going to appreciate
you. Your manner is the outward in
Gication OF what you arc within In the
estimate or most people, and II the
manner is dtsagreeable few will take
the trouble to examine into you any
further.
The consensus OF general opinion Is
that the man who goes about with
porcupine quilts as his manners hasn't
any brains worth botherlng about. Did
you never notice that the men who EN-
ploy large forces of intelligent people
look Mt an applicant closely, ask n few
seemingly unimportant.-quest and
promptly employ or dismiss him? They
don't sound his brain depth: they don't
obtain his biography; they don't inquire
into his social standing; they size him
up from his manners and IL he is brass
on the surface they don't look for gold
within.
The employer knows that If an appli-
cants manner strikes him favorably IL
will also favorably strike people with
whom he comes I'm contact I'm his work.
And nobody knows better than n big
business man that favorable first i'm
preston means half the sale. People are
apt to think that IL there is any place
where manners are of little consequence
ii is In business, where cold calculation
SO largely takes the place OF feeling.
But the truth Is that nowhere else are
manners OF such Importance as I'm ev-
eryday dealings. There is no capital
and equipment any young man can
have that will pay him better than
good manners. There is no possible
calling for which this does not better
fit him. IL he has brains the world
owes him something. but unless he has
good manners he will have hard time
collecting it.-Kansas City World.

A WHISTLER PICTURE.
The Dramatic Manner of It's Finish
aud AN Anticlinax.


Whistler was one day visited by n
foreign artist an old acquaintance,
with whom Whistler had not us yet
Quarreled. He was received with gen
uine cordIality. and, artist-like, he ran
round the studio looking ut everything.
One small picture seemed to charm him
especially. and he said, "Now that is
one OF your good ones" Don't look mt
1t, dear boy" said Whistler airily, Its
not finished" "Finishedr' said the
visitor. "Why, IL is the most carefully
finished picture OF yours that / have
ever SEEN" Don't look at itr' per-
sisted Whistler. You are doing in
justice 80 yourself. you are doing in
Justice TO my picture, and you are do
ing injustice to mer' The visitor looked
bewildered, when Whistler, In q the
atrical tone, cried out: stop! I'll finish
IL now! Then he procured a very
small camers hair brush, fixed 1t on a
long and slender handle, mixed a little
speck OF paint on his palette, dipped
the tip OF his brush into 1t, and then.
standing of from his picture and with
the action OF fencer with his rapier.
he lunged forward and touched the
picture in one spot With his pigment.
Now it's Finished said he. "Now you
may look at It." This was all highly
dramatic. and indeed very well acted,
but. as In the case OF some stage plays,
the final act of Whistler's performance
proved to be an anticlimax. The for
eign artist took his leave, but, finding
that he had left his umbrella behind
him, called for 1t next day. The serv-
ant. recognizing him. told him that Mr..
Whistler had gone out for the day, but
invited him to go to the studio and
seek his umbrella. He went there and
found 1t, but also took the opportunity
or having one more look at the picture
which had been 'fnished' for his spe-
cfai benefit the day before, and then
he saw that the little dab of wet paint
which Whistler had so dramatically
put on he had afterward scrupulously
wiped or again.-Frederick Keppel In

How They Were Carried Into rncfs
and Sold to a Native Prince.
The stoyy OF the Servian Jewels must
recall to the ex-Empress Eugene her
own experiences when the waves first
began to dash about her throne. She
determined to sell the greater part OF
her jewels In hope TO do something to
save the dynasty. Publicity bad to be
avoided. and market was not to be
found i'm Europe. newly thrilled by the
horrors OF Sedan. The empress looked
to the cast for n market. An English
man was on his way home for a holt
day. A Telegram at Bombay awaited
him from one OF the greatest European
financial houses and informed him OF
the determination OF the empress. The
difficulty had been 10 find man with
sufficient influence TO be able to ap-
proach the princes of India in secret
with view TO selling them the Jewels.
Not less hard was 1t TO lay hands on a
man who had moral strength sufficient
TO carry with him surreptitlously hun
dreds of thousands of pounds worth
OF Jewels in lands where the queens
writ did not run and where the protec-
ton OF the constable Is not Immediate
ly available.
Every care had been taken to insure
secrecy. The jewels had been taken
to pieces. the gems removed from their
settings. the latter "jointed' to admit

the belt, armed himself with n trusty
revolver, engaged trusty servant and
set forth on his mission. For three
months he wandered over road, rail
and river. The responsibility OF HIS
trust. the constant danger OF discovery,
the difficulty of disposing OF his bur-
den were worries that combined al
most to kill him. At last he was sue
eessful. The jewels were sold to q
prince who esteemed them the more
for that they were the property OF a
distressed empress. There would have
been trouble no doubt had the matter
been known at the India office. but the
man who discharged the undertaking
Afforded an example of courage and n
