LIFE in GREENLAND.
The Ways of the People, Their Pleas
ures and Their Food.

The Ways of the People, Their Pleas.
ures and Their Food.
Grecnland's west coast is considered
to have the grandest scenery Of any
coast in the world by Roger Pollock,
who writes of a journey thither rs fol-
lows: "The sunny arctic day, which
lasts for months; a Sky all flaming
glory, the fretted spires Of the Alps
danked with stupendous cliffs and
based OH the restful levels of the sea,
cities of crowded bergs, compound of
dazzling light and radiant color-such
scenery as that blots out ones former
memories. Our first port Of call was
Jakobshavn, at the head of Disco
strait, biggest of the northern villages,
metropolis Of nine white people and
400 natives. Beside pocket harbor,
perched on round shoulders of the na-
ked granite, are the buildings, all tarred
black, Of the Royal Trade company.
For background to the dismal scene
rise higher rocks, Uttered with garbage
and turf huts, the homes Of the ma
tves. At heart the place is gay, for
our sailors went ashore every night to
dance with the Eskimo girls, while
the officers Of ship and colony swapped
dinner parties, breakfasts and lunch
cons all through nine days festival.
"Men and women alike" the writer
continues, "were linguists, well read,
accomplished, a little too polite for
comfort, living a metropolitan life on
one batch Of letters a year in an arctic
outpost. Expecting the pathos Of ban
ishment, found the gayety Of perfect
content The Danes Of all the settle
ments were alike in social charm, gen.
tie and polished gossips, too
and the indoor life had little to remind
one Of the outdoor wilderness. The
1nnult servant maids wore the furry
breeches, boots to the hip and curious
topknot Of their national dress. One
had to fall promiscuously in love with
all Of them.
"Even the Danish men wore native
dress, but there was one important dis
tinction-they washed. The food, apart
from Danish groceries, was seal meat,
fish, reindeer, venison. shell6sh, ptar-
migan, sea birds and their eggs, which,
as served in Greenland, are always
pronounced in flavor"

the VALUE Of A GOOD CIRCUS NAME.

Enthusiasm, together with pardon.
able pride in good name are cardinal
virtues of the honest showmen and these
traits Messrs. Norris and Rowe, the
earnest young American showmen pos
sess to marked degree. The time has
long passed when rash promises made
by irresponsible managers of the little
hy.by.night circus can convince the pub
lie who look to the circus for healthy en-
tertainment and relaxation from the
cares of their busy work.a-day lives.
This healthy enjoyment everyone is en-
titled to, for all work and no play would
surely make Jack very dull boy indeed.
The telegraph and modern journal soon
record the success or failure of any bus-
ness enterprise-whether it be in the
trade, theatrical or circus world, and as
consequence the bad shows are soon
Stunned, while the one that has lived up
to its promises is accorded generous pat
ronage. The value of a good name in
the world Of white tents is greater than
has been estimated. Norris and Rowe
deeply appreciate this and they are de-
termined to leave an unsullied reputa.
tion to the generation following them.
These young showmen have brought to
section many meritorious circus enjoy.
ments but it remains for them to surpass
themselves this year and eclipse all
former efforts. Every dollar of last sea-
sons successful venture has been put
into their new and greater circus. They
have new trains in sections Of twenty
cars each, all new dens, cages, wagons.
Two menageries, standard bred stock,
equestrian acts of the highest grade; far
famed athletes in sensational aerial
feats; acrobrats, gymnasts, posturers,
leapers. vaulters, jugglers, equilibrists,
Japanese swordsmen, lady and gentle.
men expert riders, performing wild ami
mails, etc. 1t takes over 500 employees
and performers to properly give the
shows.
Messrs. Norris and Rowe are conf
dent that the public will coincide with
them that they are justly entitled this
year. to designate their shows as the
Norris and Rowe Greater Shows. Exhi-
bitions will be given at Dickinson on
Tuesday, June ~.

EVERYBODY WANTS A TIP.
Experience Of an American Woman
While Visiting Venice.

Experience Of an American Woman
While Visiting Venice.
One of the things that most astonish
you with regard to the working class
Italian is the perfect frankness with
which he shows his desire for tip.
No false modesty obscures It, You
may sometimes fear. that you will for
get it. Let such fears forever rest.
He won't let you. He will follow you,
asking you If you have your parasol
when he sees it in your hand or If you
know the way out when he has just
told 1t to you. The whole poor popula-
tion Of Venice is absolutely naif in its
exhibition Of desire for any small
sum Of money the passerby may throw
It, The children, one and all, make a
demand for a soldino as matter Of
course. 1t is sort Of greeting to ev-
cry foreigner casually as phrase Of
general usage.
Coming from the bath you fee the
girl who has charge of the lighthouses.
If you don't she has dozen ways Of
making herself disagreeable next time
you come. And do not allay your trou-
bled anticipations by the thought she
may not recognize you. One glimpse
Of a face fixes it in her memory for
months. After that you fee the wom-
an who takes care Of your purse and
jewelry. If you fee her enough she
drags out from some inner recess
cheap mirror which distorts your coun-
tenance and allows you to look into it
and see how truly hideous the human
visage can be made to appear. Before
the bath you have to fee the old wom-
an who gives you your bathing suit.
II you neglect her the next time you
come she will give you suit that
doesn't fit you or is full Of holes.
When you go out on the terrasse for
a black coffee, which costs 10 cents,
you fee the waiter. When you get into
your gondola you fee the old man who
draws it close to the steps with hook
ed stick and offers you his withered
old arm to lean on. When you get out
Of your gondola at the hotel you fee
another old man with hooked stick
and withered arm. And then at din
ner, If you haven't just feed the wait
er he will he cross, and up in your room
afterward If the femme de chambre
has not recently had tip she will re-
fuse to answer the bell.-San Francisco

WlSDOM'S WHISPERS.

It's lucky we don't know how IN
lucky We may be.
1t is difficult to take a woman by sur

DEFY HARD LUCK.
A Few Bits OF Wholesome Advice
For the Pessimists.

A Few Bits of Wholesome Advice
For the Pessimists.
Don't talk about your hard luck.
Refuse to recognize it. Refuse to be-
lieve in it. Scorn to whine about it.
Get the whine out Of your voice, or 1t
will stop the development and growth
Of your body. 1t will narrow and
shrink your mind. 1t will drive away
your friends. 1t will make you unpop-
ular. Quit your whining; brace up; 60
to work; be something; stand for some
thing; fill your place In the universe.
Instead of whining around, exciting
only pity and contempt, face about and
make something of yourself. Reach up
to the stature of strong, ennobling
womanhood, to the beauty and strength
Of superb womanhood. There Is
nothing the matter with you. Just quit
your whining and 90 to work.
If you continually talk about your
bad luck and moan about your Ill for
tune, you create for yourself an atmos-
phere Of misfortune which will certain
ly overwhelm you unless You stop In
time.
The man or woman who persistently
fears that such and such thing is not
going to turn out we'll Is enlisting pow
erful forces against success.-Boston

A Taflor's Proclamation

The art of advertising has reached a
high pitch Of excellence In these days,
but old newspapers and circulars fur
nish some fetching examples which it
would he difficult to improve upon.
Fifty years ago Maidstone (England)
tailor made this alluring appeal to the
public:
"Neoteric cutting. Goats, trousers
and vests, in alamodal style and ma
tertal, are scientifically constructed
and symmetrically adjusted to the an
thropological fexibilities, for thau-
maturgically minute, prompt, none
tary gestlculation." Then follows the
address, where your commands will
be executed with Pathological exacd'
tude and melliloduent courtesy"

THERESA STING IN ITS TAIL.

There is no fool like an old
fool" you will agree most heartily
when you have dipped into "His
Second Love Affair" in the July
McClure's. And as you read your
irritation grows, "Of all the
chumps!" you will say land of all
the stupid girls!" Don't be to
hasty. You'll take off your hat
and apologize before the end. If
Frederick r. Burton's story does
not fool you nightly you may
count yourself clever.

Where He Made His Money.

Years ago n gentleman settled in the
south Of England and became very
popular in the neighborhood. The coun-
ty families could never discover how
he had made his money, but were sat
istled by his solemn assurance that 1t
was not in trade. Nothing could e1-
ceed the ordinary gravity Of his de-
meanor, which, indeed, caused him to
be placed Oh the commission of peace,
but now and then, without any appar-
ent provocation, he would burst into
such laugh as no one ever heard be-
fore except in one place.
Where they could have heard it puz-
zled the county families for five and
twenty years, but at last he was be-
trayed unconsciously by his own grand
child, who after Il visit to a travelling
circus innocently exclaimed, "Why,
grandpa laughs just like the clown!'

Horses In the Time of Homer

The horses used in Homer's time
drawn in chariots. The art Of riding
was known, but it is alluded to as
something unusual. Ulysses at the
time of his shipwreck "bestrode a
plank, like torseman on a big steed." ."
There are reasons for believing that
the practice of riding was much later
than that Of driving, and the myth Of
the centaur, where, according to Shake
speare, "man is incorpsed and demina-
tured with the beast" probably orig
mated at an early period when the ap-
pearance Of n man on horseback was
q novel sight.

Surpeme Court Decision on Boundary Law

On the 10Th the supreme cour, de.
cided the Stark county boundary bill
to be unconstitutional, and the same
decision applies to Billings county in
the same way.
In voting on the proposition of being
annexed to Stark last fall the people Of
Dunn voted 3 to to come in, majority
of about 60, and the proposition carried
in Stark by an overwhelming majority,
In Hettenger county, however. the peo.
pie seemed indifferent and but IS votes
we're cast, and of this number there was
one majority against annexation.
Capt. |. p. Baker and Brown & Co.
are supposed to have been instrumental
in securing the injunction restraining
the Stark county officers from exercis.
ing jurisdiction over the territory added
to the county by provision of an act oi
the legislature of 1903.
1t is claimed that Dunn county al.
ready has nearly 1000 people, the re.
quired number for organization, and al
the rate settlers are coming in this
spring it will be but question OF shor,
time until Hettinger will have the
required population, and there will be
nothing to prevent these counties from
setting up their own government if the
people so will.
The syllabus OF the decision is a.
follows:
I. Section 1853 OF the constitution ap.
plies to organized counties only.
2. Chapter 60, Laws of 1903, is in con-
fict with section 1863 of the constitution
because it authorized the extension ol
the boundaries Of the organized county
| OF Stark so as to include in the latter
two unorganized counties and certain
unorganized territory, without the con.
sent of a majority OF the voters of Stark
county.
3. The fact that majority OF the
voters in Stark county voted for the
extension of boundaries under the Law
did not avoid the constitutional objec'
tion, because the law being void, all
proceedings under it we're also void.
4. Where the constitutionality of a
Statute depends upon the power OF the
legislature to enact it, its validity must
be tested by what might be done unde,
color of the law and not by what has
been done.
5. Chapter 60, Laws of 1909, is a
special law for the alteration OF count,
boundaries and is therefore in conflic,
with section l67 Of the organic law.

Opinion by Engerud,J.
The Bismarck Tribune comment,
upon the decision in part as follows:
The decision in this case seems t
rest upon the sensible contention that
law is to be tested, not by what has beer
done under it, but by what may be dom
under its provisions. In other words
the legislature cannot pass law giving
authority which is unconstitutional, eveI
if it develops in the administration o
the law that that authority has not bee,
taken advantage of,
