Tka largest automobile ever built is
a harvester and "auto" combined, and
is used in Southern California. 1t is
equal to sixty horses, and goes at the
rate of three and half miles an hour,
moving a swath thirty-six feet wide,
putting up tie grain in finished shape,
threshing, etc.
The machine is sixty feet long and
thirty feet wide The motive power is
furnished by oil. 1t is such an exDen-
sivc harvest hand" that one farmer
can not. of course, own It alone, but it
is the property Of a company, and goes
from one farm to another. Eight men

it is cut, and the straw drops into 4

81 began to practice law in Dakota
in Territorial days" said the lawyer
from Chicago. Our judges were sent
to us, and some of them didn't know
any more about law than they did
about the political beliefs of the mound
builders. One of them-I'll call MIN
Jones-was so appallingly ignorant
that it was a great relief when, on the
admission OF North Dakota TO the
Union, he left the bench and began TO
practice law. His successor was a
man wholly without a sense Of humor,
and the only good thing he ever said
in his life was wholly accidental. A
man was brought to trial charged with
selling powder to the Indians. The
Judge asked him if he had lawyer to
defend him.
"'No, said the man, 1 don't want a
lawyer

A MAN.yATINc HORSE.
story of Beautiful stallion That Had
Killed Two Men.


A fearful beast is bad horse One

Geronimo stood seventeen hands high
and weighed over 1900 pounds. When
he reared on his hind legs and came
for you screaming, his teeth swapping
like bear traps, his black name flying,
a man seemed tiny antagonist indeed.
One blow from those front hoofs and
your troubles were over. Once down
he'd trample, bite and kick you until
your own mother would hesitate to
claim tile pile Of rags and jelly he left.
He had served two men so already;
nothing but his matchless beauty saved
his life.
Nowhere could one nnd better ex-
ample of the satanic than when he
tore around his corrsd in a tantrum, as
1.-THE and graceful as a black panther.
His name stood in end; his eyes and
noshils were of color; the muscles
looked to be bursting through the
silken gloom Of his coat. His swift
ness was something incredible. He
caught and horribly killed Jim Bax-
ter's hound before it could get out
of the corral-and bear hound is a
pretty agile animal.
We fed and watered Geronimo with
pitchfork, and in terror then, for his
slyness and cunning were on a par
with his other pleasant peculiarities.
One Of the poor devils he killed entered
the stable all unsuspecting. Geronimo
had broken his chains and stood close

BY THOMAS WOOD STEVENS.
With fame upon the bugles blown !
And waves Of lances on the plain, II
Men harvest where the fields are sown
With death, and tears are like the rain;
BY pomp and craft and high disdaln
They build and pass to sleep with Tyre,
Who spend their souls to seek-in vain
The glory of the Kings Desire.
And men there are who stone on stone
Uprear unto the lord Of gain
High temples that they call their own
While Fortune smiles before her fame;
Who tempt the seas and learn to reign
Above the spirit OF the fire,
And driving still, may still attain
The worship Of the Worlds Desire.
And some who hold for feet and throne
No homage no homage fegn,
Who kneel before one shrine alone,
Who know one love, and one loves pain
For them the winter in the lane
Chills not the springsong Of the Tyre;
For them one law, one dream, one
chain
The guerdon Of the Hearts Desire.

Sweet. when the tyrants all are slain,
The temples dark with Fortunes lre,s
Still in thine eyes let me regain

MoNEY-LENDlNc NATIONS.
Foreign Investments Of Large Proportions
From Many Lands.

A German authority estimates the
foreign investments of Belgium,
country having 100000 Inhabitants
and about one-quarter as large an area
as Ohio, at no less than $1,5OO,OOO,OOO'
In proportion to the numerical strength
of the Belgians and their natural re-
sources, these figures make the $4,000
100000, or thereabout, which repre-
sents French capital put into invest
ments outside of France look small,
and they compare well with the larg-
est current estimates of Great Britain's
investments beyond the narrow limits
Of the British Isles.
Authorities differ widely concerning
the amount of British money put into
other countries, some being as low as
$4,000 O00,0 900, not counting British pos
sessions, like India and British colo
nies. 10 include these favorite fields
for British enterprise might double
the figures given. But it is not many
years since the London Stock Exchange
calculated the probable total of the
foreign investments of the British peo-
pie at more than S17000,0O0,000. II
does not seem possible that any great
decrease can have taken place since
1896
Germany is believed to have half as
much money invested abroad as
France, or twice as much as Belgium
but German wealth and German enter
prise are alike fast gaining ground
and these corporations will soon be
radically changed. Russia is the great
debtor nation Of Europe, and in that
country billions of dollars Of French
Belgian and German money has found
employment, at greater or less risk
and with widely varying returns.-Bos

lead the defeated candidate TO shake hands with
his successful rival and promise him his best sup

the boy ahead of him make bad break jumps in

fully arranged dinner table adorned in its centre

with flowers OF every imaginable kind and all colors
