certainly show we'll in the late adjust
ment OF presidential postmaster salaries
which is based on the receipts of each

While Iowa, and several other rich
states show a marked falling off in re-
ceipts the Dakotas have more than held
their own. The latter show but four de.
creasements of 500 each, with an in.
creasement of t~hirty-two of sIoo each in
North Dakota, and fourteen. in South
Dakota.
Iowa hasmany presidential postofices
but shows only twenty-nine with in.

Arrested for Stealing Wool.

Glendive Review: c. J. Taylor, living
at Sentinel Butte, had a hearing last
Thursday before Justice Burdick OF the
charge of having stolen about 1900
pounds of wool at Wibaux. The wool is
alleged to have been stolen out of a car
at Wibaux, re-sacked and brought to
Giendive and sold to w. F. Jordan. Cir
cumstances point strongly Il Taylor as
being the guilty man. He was known
to have left his place without wool. On
June goth, shortly after selling the wool,
he ing uired Of Mr.. Jordan ifhe had heard
of any wool stolen at Wibaux.

where they arrived Sunday afternoon,
the 9th inst. At Dickinson the members
of the party we're met by representative
of the company and shown every conr-

about the town gave US a good idea of
Dickinson and gave the impression that
it is a prosperous business place with a
bright outlook for the future growth and
importance. The members of the party

Monday and Tuesday following were
spent in a delightful drive over the rich
and seemingly boundless p~rairies stretch.
ing away in every direction from the
town of Dickinson and from whence
comes the trade which makes the
town prosperous and insures its future
growth. Until comparatively late years
these p%rairies have been used as vast
grazing lands for sheep, horses and
cattle, and this industry is still one o
the most important, though the big herd!
and aocks are being pushed back furth

diversified farming is coming in and th'
day of the small farm is at hand. Their,
still remain many homestead lands ii
this section, but at the rate these ar

vslue of q Grass Crop.

Farmers and ranchers of this section
are rightly interested in any grass, native
or cultivated, which will produce as
much or more fodder than do the wild
grasses of the prairie. Means may be
devised sometime which will enable US
to reseed or rejuvenate the worn out or
sod bound prairie. If the prairie is once
broken, however, and it is desired to
grow grass again, the owner is much in
terested in tame grasses. thinking to find
n which will produce a greater luxuri-
ance OF foliage than the native ones
with which he is accustomed. AT the
present time, nearly every rancher or
farmer is keenly interested in bronze
grass. If bronze grass OF any grass is
sown and produces a good hay crop and
plenty of pasture, the farmer is satisfied
for he believes the grass has done its en-
tire duty. Perhaps, however, the grass
has done more than has been asked of
it. In what condition has it left the
ground, after it has been growing three
or four years? 1t is pretty certain that
on the whole, the grass leaves the soil in
a much better condition than it was in
before.
1t is we'll known that crops are better
the 6rst few years after breaking than
they are later. This is no doubt due in
part to the greater abundance of plant
food in the new land. But there is an
other reason why the new land is better.
1t contains the %decaying and decayed
roots of the prairie plants which have
! grown there SC long. This decayed
matter in the soil is the organic matter
which is popularity known as humus.
Now if land has been cropped several
years. it will have lost a large part of its
humus. When humus is abundant in a
soil, it has a greater water.holding
capacity, holding water in much the
same manner as a sponge. The
presence of humus makes the soil more
porous so that it is more readilyspenetra
ted by the air. Soil containing humu!
does not bake after a rain and is more
pliable and easily worked. unless indeed
it contains gumbo. Humus is of par
%ticular value in the soil in this region, il
that its presence tends to proven
blowing" Finally and perhaps mos
important of all, affords a supply Q
available heterogeneous plant food whic1
may be drawn upon as needed. 1t j
thus seer tina, soil which has lost a goo'
portion of its humus has lost much Q
its value.
If old land is laid down to grass,
will afford the owner, n only hay Q
pasture. but it will give back to the sol
a portion Of the humus which it origin
ally posed and which has been lost b
continual cropping. It is seen that gras
is not only Of immediate benefit. but
extends its benefit over several year,

women equals or surpasses that with
the men. There are not many of the
sex out there, but several boast of hav-
ing been trotted on Teddy's knee, add
ing that of course they were young then.
ROOSEVELT ONE OF THE BOYS.
S. M. Ferris was foreman at Mr..
Roosevelt's Chimney Butte ranch and
has many interesting "reminiscences Of
his former employer. He says that
while living on the ranch Roosevelt
never took an easy berth for himself
and left the rough end of the job for the
other fellows. For months at a time he
worked on the ranch like a common
hired man, lived from the mess wagon
and took his turn at everything. The
greatest insult that could be offered was
to favor HMM any way because he was
the owner of the ranch. Mr.. Ferris
carries a very handsome gold watch,.a
gift from President Roosevelt. and last
winter he was the guest of the president
in Washington for a day or two. The
president is never too busy to give the
boys the glad hand and talk over old
times.
ROOSEVELT'S EXEMPLARY HABITS
In the eighties Medora was a great
cowboy centre. The saloons were the
enc of numerous exciting occasions.
Report says that Roosevelt was never a
frequenter of these saloons. He was no,
foolish about other mems drinking if
they insisted on it, but rarely took a
drink himself. He could be popular
and not drink. They tell about an even
ing party where ranch owners and ranch
bosses only were present Anew bottles
of real champagne were passed around
and in process of time one of the party
conceived that he was lord of all he sur.
veyed and with a generous sweep of the
arms ordered in all the champagne there
was in Medora. AS the party was abou,
to break up Roosevelt arose with mock
gravity and singing out the connoisseul
of champagne gave him advice some
thing as follows: "My friend, we ar.
about to leave this hospitable board ane

your destination you will have to. cross

it may seem to you that there are tw.

This WINS In France.

An American millionaire while driv.
ing an automobile in France ran over
and killed a dog. Near the scene Of
the accident was a peasant, presum-
ably owner of the dog. TO him the
millionaire gave n bank note. But
the peasant was not the owner of the
dog, and he was honest, but before he
could make up his mind to return the
money the automobile and its driver
were beyond recall. None the less, the
peasant would not keep the bill, and
when the automObiliSt rode past that
place some months later he discovered

road with the bank note attached to it
and a pcnciled line calling attention
to the mistake.

NO LIFE ON THE MOON.

The Proof We Have That Our Near
est Nci::;:!'or Is Uninhnbitcd.
The moon being much the nearest
to Us Of all the heavenly bodies, we
can pronounce more definitely in its
case than in any other. We know that
neither air nor water exists on the
moon in quantities sufficient to be per-
command. II is certain that the moons
atmosphere, ii any exists, is less than
the thOusandth part of the density of
that around us. The vacuum is great
paDlc of producing. We can hardly
suppose that so small a quantity of
air could be Of any benefit whatever
in sustaining life An animal that
could get along ON SO little could get
along on none at all
But the proof of the absence of life
is yet stronger when we consider the
results of actual telescope observa-
tlon. An object such as an ordinary
city block could be detected on the
moon. If anything like vegetation were
present on its surface, we should see
the changes which it would undergo
in the course of a month, during one
portion of which it would be exposed
to the rays of the unclouded sun and
during another to the intense cold of
space. Professor Simon Newcomb in

VALUE OF LAUGHTER.
Many Political Coup Has Been
Won by Means of HiInrity.

1t is just because laughter IS so thor
Oughly human that it always touches
a respective chord in the heart. People
who are impelled to laugh together
find it difficult to harbor any senti-
ments of resentment toward one an
other. Laughter drives away irrita-
ton To laugh at a thing and at the
same time to be seriously angry IS al
most an impossibility, and many
political coup has been won by means
of hilarity, says the Pittsburg Dis
patch.
The third NapoleOn's advent to the
throne was signalized by much blood
shed, but in spite even of this the
people became recOnciled to the new
regime by the amusing and ingenious
fashion in which on the morning Of
the fatcful Dec . the placards and
posters bearing the watchwords Of re-
pubiicanism were found to have been
mctamorphoscd into imperial manifeS-
toes.
The way i'll which it had been done
excited such hearty laughter that the
peoples anger was to Il great extent
appcased 4 people that are prone to
laughter are much more easy to rule
than nation which takes a too serious
view Of life, and in the same way
government that has a sense of humor
is certain = prove more popular than
one that is only stern.
