HE.HOTEL. BREAKFAST.
HSw the American Meal Appears to
an Englishman.

26w the American Meal Appears to
an Englishman.
The American hotel breakfast is
representative of the general delight in
good living. The length Of the menu
and the variety Of the dishes bespeak
an appetite that in the early morning
can relish a meal little less substantial
than q dinner. -.
The hotel breakfast begins with fruit
grape fruit if it happens to be in sea-
son, the bitter sweetness Of which
seems designated by nature to awaken
the appetite. And there is really a be-
wildering problem when next you are
asked to choose among the cereals
from the old fashioned oatmeal to all
kinds Of predigested preparations.
Cooked oysters IN every style are Of
fered on the menu, and even in the best
restaurants plate Of oysters costs
only shilling. The choice of fish can
be made from long list-of kinds un-
known In England. including weakfish,
bluefish and shad, with its delicate roe.
It must be out of compliment to Eng.
lish travellers that herring and paddock
are imported. You see them very sell
dom on an American breakfast table.
When boiled eggs are eaten they are
opened by the waiter into glass, no
small quantity of butter being added-
salt butter, for sweet butter is sell
dom served. With chops or steak the
American, who never eats cold meats
at breakfast, usually orders potatoes,
and the meal may be brought to close
with pancakes. These hot cakes. which
are made Of wheat; buckwheat, rice or
cornmeal, are eaten smothered in ma.
pie strip, a delicious treacle obtained
from the sap Of maple trees.

find In Paris, but not in London-and

UNIQUE AZTAlAN,
The Only Brick Walled Town Site
Found In This Country.

The Only Brick Walled Town Site
Found In This Country.
In many respects Aztalan, in Wiscon-
sin, is among the most remarkable pre-
historic monuments in the northwest,
1t is the only brick walled town site
found in this country. 1t is on the bot
tom land Of the Crayfish river, about
two miles from Lake Mills. The inclos-
ing walls Of the town site are about
700 feet on it's TANKS and about 1900
feet long. The river served to COM
plete the Enclosure of seventeen acres
Of land.
Within and without the Enclosure
there are round, truncated and oblong
mounds. Just beyond the inclosing
walls the land rises abruptly over
twenty feet to the rolling table lands
Of the surrounding country. From the
bank above stone could be tossed i'll
to the town site within the Enclosure,
which would seem to be good reason
why this inclosure, which has been
called fort, could not have been in
tended for a defense against any hui
man enemy.
Along the brow of the higher land
is a row Of more than thirteen round
pyramidal mounds ranging from three
to twelve feet in height. From the top
of these mounds or standing on the
table land an enemy could command
the whole town site. 1t has always
been conceded that Aztalan was. not
inclosed for purposes of defense It
has been supposed that it was walled
for protection from wild animals,
though the Enclosure has never been
high or abrupt enough since its dis
covery to keep out the panther, Wild
cat, wolf, bear, moose and buffalo, which
were the only dangerous animals Of
the woods hereabout.
The purpose of it's inhabitants in
constructing this Enclosure over q half
mile long still remains mystery. The
most remarkable art of Aztalan is it's
brick walls and walks. In this it is
singular and alone, the only example
Of bricklaying among all the monu-
ments of the mound builders. These
bricks or bricklets are not rectangu-
lar and regular in form and size, as are
the modern brick. They are simply
balls Of plastic clay welded by the
hand into small bricklets of irregular
form about the average size of snow
ball. The material used was the
glacial yellowish red clay of the vi
cinity. and the color Of the bricks is
red or light yellow. Under the glass
scrapings appear like handful of
crystal sand.-Minneapolis Journal.

WHY NOT?

of the newer corners to this section
to hedge somewhat on the question
of irrigation. They have come from
sections where the soil is much
heavier than here where the porous
top soil soon dries out, requiring regu-
lar rains to produce crops to it's full
capacity. 1t must be remembered
that it is a rare season here when
crops do not do we'll UP to the time
time in July, when the hot winds from
the southwest frequently do much
damage. 1t must also be remembered
that we do not always have rains in
this section when the grain needs
1t most. In fact the exception is the
rule. 1t is true we had plenty of rain,
and at the right time, in 1902 and in
1904, with resultant big crops. But
how about 1908 and previous years?
If any argument were needed to dem
onstrate the value of water on the
land at the critical growing season in
this section, surely the big crops and
line quality of the grain of 1902 and
a904 furnish it. We are naturally
optimistic regarding the weather, es.
pecially if we be farmers. On all
other subjects pessismism has a free
hand. Particularly is this so at this
time of the year. MAN proposes, but
God disposes." Under present condi-
lions man may till his land and SOW it
with the greatest scientific skill. He
must depend henceforward on the
Vagaries of the weather. If rains are
timely he is made rich, if they fail
he has had his costs and labors in
vain. The farmer insures his crops
against hail, his home against fire,
his life for the benefit Of his family.
All these cost money, money he be-
lieves well spent, for in each case he
is but safeguarding himself and his
family. He will spend money cheer
fully in improving the breed of his
live stock; all about the farm is given
thought for improvement-all, in most
Instances, save the land upon which
his prosperity and happiness depends.
From year to year the fruits of the
soil are garnered, and nothing re-
turned to this most generous giver.
Everything receives attention save
the land, which, if given the water it
thrists for in the summer months,
would show its gratitude by return
ing trebled or quadrupled crops with
unfailing regularity. There can be
no question of this. We all know it..
and knowing it, why not attend the
irrigation meeting tonight and help
along the movement looking to the
betterment of the country adjacent to
Bismarck? This matter is of as
much interest to the people of this
city as to the owner of the land. and
both should join hands to secure irri-
CATION works at the earliest possible
moment.

THE TIME is RIPE.

AS time passes the need of some
kind of an organization on the part
OF Bismarck business men is more
and more plainly demonstrated.
Scarcely week passes that some
matter Of general interest does not
arise which could and should be ef-
fectively handled to the best adyap-
tage by commercial club whose
membership included every business
man in the city. Through such a
medium the best interests of the CITY
could be directed into proper channels
and results accomplished, which can
never be under the present catch-as
catch-can system.
AS in other places, Bismarck is
blessed CD with factional feeling, an
innate cussedness which promptly
gets into active opposition the NOM
ent any man or set of men-no mat
ter who they may be-agitates a pro-
position making for the public wei.
fare. and this regardless of the merits
of the case.
It has been the experience in othe
communities that associations of busi-
ness men, for mutual interest and
public welfare, have largely buried
factionalism, for in such an organiza-
ton all members have vote in its
management and action on all public
issues.
It must be apparent to all that a
proposition endorsed by such an asso-
citation of business men will have far
greater force and more respectful
consideration by the public than IL

pushed by any set of unorganized
citizens, and certainly a successful
outcome is more likely, the PROPOSE
ton being endorsed by all factions
and all interests.
The maintenance of a commercial
club would be trifing cost. The use
Of the city hall could doubtless be Sc
cured for meetings and other expenses
would be mere bagatelle when divid-
ed among the many.
Politics must be barred from such
an organization. 1t must be a pure
democracy where each members
voice is equal to anothers. Good feel
ing and Capitalization of effort for
the local welfare has been brought
about by business mems associations
elsewhere. Through such coopera-
ton new industries have been secured
to other communities and general re-
suits have repaid an hundred fold the
small investment of money, time and
energy expended.
1t is true such organizations have
been started here beforehand failed.
The same is also true of Fargo and
Grand. Forks; yet today those cities
have commercial clubs whose labors
are producing immense results be-
cause they represent the united forces
of their respective communities.
1t has been a long time since Bis.
marck has moved in this direction.
Conditions here are vastly different.
Then the city was in the slough of
despond;" today it is alive, progress
i've and building up, slowly but salts
factorily. The boom days are gone,
boom ideas exploded, but in their
place We have conservative business
methods and the substantial growth
which attracts those seeking a home
and trade location The one thing
lacking to further advance the city's
general welfare is that concentration
of interests which will still further
augment our prosperity We have
largely been content to wait till things
came to us. Is it not time to reach
out for enterprises that will further
develop the city and county? "Seek,
and We shall find" Let us do a little
seeking. The best way to accomplish
this is through a commercial club.
Spare one moment from your personal
affairs and think it over.

Some of the penguins in the antarctic
THgions weigh as much as eighty
pounds and are about four feet high,
with a splendid orange patch on the
neck. The young take three years to
develop fully, and even then the plum
age is distinctly less brilliant than in
the older birds. Both the movements
and migration of the penguins are re-
markable. When first followed the bird
prefers to walk, but when in danger Of
being caught 1t drops on to it's abdo-
men and with the help of the wings
glissades at pace too great to be over
taken by man walking. They seem
aware Of the movements Of the great
ice fields and use them to help their
migration to the pack ice in the north.
They take trouble to collect stones,
which they delight to steal from one
anOther's piles, for nests.
Many Of the ways of the penguins
are suggestive Of preserved instincts.
Their attitude when sleeping Is mod
eled on that Of birds with fully devel-
oped wings. But the penguin has to
be content with reachiag the shelter
Of his wing with no more than the tip
Of his beak.

Gifts at RanfiamS.

Gifts to infants at their baptism are
Of ancient origin. Formerly the spon-
sors generally offered gilt spoons to
the child. These spoons were called
apostle spoons because the figures Of
the twelve apostles were carved at the
top of the handles. Rich sponsors
gave the complete set of twelve, while
for those who were not so opulent four
was considered the proper number,
and poor sponsors would content them
selves with offering one. In the latter
case the handle Of the spoon generally
exhibited the figure Of any saint in
honor Of whom the child received it's
name. It is in allusion to this custom
that when Cranmer protested to be
unworthy of being sponsor to the
young princess Shakespeare makes the
king reply:
Come. come, my lord;
You'd spare your spoons.
The mug or spoon and fork Offering
of the present day appears as a very
debased survival Of a really beautiful
christening Offering.

A Judge and a Pistol.

A correspondent of Law Notes writes
Of the administration of justice in q
certain insular possession OF the Unit
ed States when the island was under
Spanish rule. Judge z. had had a quar-
rel with an editor The judge arranged
with a hoodlum to insult the editor in
order to provoke him to breach of
peace A policeman to arrest the edi-
tor was part of the plant" The plot
was carried out, but the editor kept his
temper. The officer arrested him, none
the less. He was hailed before Judge
T., who found there was no case The
judge took from drawer of his desk
revolver, silver plated and beautifully
inlaid with gold and mother of pearl,
showed it to the prisoner and informed
him that the policeman had delivered
the weapon to him as one taken from
the person of the defendant and asked
him what he had to say to. the charge
Of carrying arms. The editor examined
the weapon, put it in his pocket, adj
mitted that he had had it in his posses
sion, produced permit from the Span
ish authorities to carry arms and, with
true Castilian politeness, bowed him
self out and off with the judges beau

Cromwell and Christmaa.

During the commonwealth in Eng
land, when puritanical feeling held
sway, many determined efforts were
made to put down what were termed
superstitious festivals and among these
that of Christmas day. The holly and
the mistletoe bough were to be cut up
root and branch as plants Of the evil
one Cakes and ale were held to be i'm
pious offerings to superstition. Thus In
1e47 the Cromwell party ordered
throughout the country by the mouth
Of the common crier that Christmas
should no longer be observed.

A Storm ON the Pacific.

The captain Of San Francisco tug
thus describes a storm on the Pacific:
when I say that the waves ran
mountain high I am not exaggerating
the situation in the least. The tug
would be poised on the crest of sea
and then be plunged down into a valley
Of water which seemed a mile below
us. At times the moon would come
out through the clouds, and in the I'M
certain light the waves seemed twice
as high. The wind was blowing per-
feet hurricane, and our lee rail was un-
der water all the time. The angry sea
appeared raging above, below and all
around us, and nearly every wave
into which we dipped would wash over
the tug. 1t was impossible to remain
aft, for the lower deck was flooded"

''Stop chewing toothpicks, young
man, if you value your life" said a
physician to one of his patients. ''You
unconsciously swallow little shreds of
the wood, which are not digestible and
which become compact in the stomach.
Finally you are annoyed by a hacking
cough and the splitting of blood and you
do not know what Is the matter with
you. You imagine you have consump-
ton or some similar affection when 1t
is only the foreign substance In your
stomach, that makes the strongest pro-
test against your carelessness or igno-
rance in allowing it to accumulate
there. Stop chewing toothpicks and
swallowing quack nostrums, and by
taking ordinary care Of yourself you
will live out the allotted threescore and
ten years."
