The Battle of To-day.

1t You expect to conquer
In the battle of to-day,
You will have to blow your trumpet
In = firm and steady way.
The man that owns his acres
Is the man that plows all day.
And the man that keeps a humming
Is the man that here to stay.
But the man who advertises
With sort of sudden Jerk.
Is the man who blamcs the printer
Because it didn't work.
The man that gets the business
ses brdi"Y printers ink
Not Clattcr or a splutter,
But an ad that makes you think.
And he plans his advertisements
As he plans his well-bought stock.
And the future of his business
Is as solid as rock

The Paterson Tragedy.

This genial man OF cleanly life and
good habits was brutaIly slaughtered
by the public to whom for years he
had given laughter and sunshine.
People throughout the country turned
against him when they heard the first
breath OF calumny. Without waiting
to hear whether the story told of him
was true or false, "the dear public"
treated him so meanly that it crushed
his spirit, sturdy, honest man though
he was, broke his heart and caused his
death within a year.
1t came about at Paterson, \. j.,
where he had been engaged to deliver
lecture. He had been suffering
greatly from insomnia, for which by
expert medical direction he had taken n
certain anodyne monalcoholic) Be

from the start, he tumbled over loose
edge of carpet as he came before the

His Dog Entomologi.t.

People often wondered how he could
go on year after year digging the same
kind of fun out OF the same vein, but
the secret was that he lived right in the
center of that vein and was merely
digging his way out OF 1t. He had
full assortment OF polite commonplaces
and carried them as gracefully as he
did his full dress clothes, but as soon
ms he got well acquainted with man
and 1t didn't take him long to get in
side Of any decent fellows waistcont-
he would talk In his characteristic droll
manner all day and seven days week,
and rs muCl. longer as they two trav-
eled together.
As seriously Ms II he were talking Of
audiences or hotel tables or railway
nuisances he told me a story Of dog
he had owned, 1t was a dachshund.
and Sye described him as two and a
half dogs long by one dog high. He
had named the animal EntomoloRlst
because II was n collector of insects.
In fact, the dog lived up to his name
so strenuously that something had to
be done, A friend suggested soaking
the dog in kerosene, saying:
'If 1t doesn't rid the dog Of fieas 1t
will rid you OF the dog"
SO kerosene was tried, and the dog
passed away. After all was over Bill
felt 80 bad that he went out for a walk,
which did him no good. Returning
home with detected spirits and sor-
rowing soul, he was smitten afresh
with remorse when he realized that
there would be no little dog awaiting
him. But. yes; surely there was some
thing on the steps, Looking closer, he
saw TOO fieas sitting there, and they
all looked up into his face as II to say:
When are you going to get us an
other dog?"

Pen Name His Own.

Every man has his special trouble,

tance OF the public to believe that his

other was the persistency OF some peo-
pie In mlstaklng him for another fine
fellow in Il rather different public po-
sltIon, the Rev. Morgan Dix, u. D., IL.
D., rector Of Trinity parish, New York
Mr.. Dlx's stories are as good as his
sermons, which Is saying n great deal,
and Nye's face when in repose suggest
ed man who could preach n strong
sermon of his own. Nevertheless 1t Is
awk ward to be mistaken for any one
but yourself AS to his name, every
one who heard OF Blll Nye associated
him mentally with the oft quoted per
son OF the same name who first appear

The poor chap explained at length
through popular magazine that he
came honestly by his name, having
been christened Edgar Wilson Nye
and nlcknamed Bill from his cradle,
but to his latest days he was besIeged
by autograph hunters who asked for
his slgnature-"your real name, too,

Tree That Turns to Stone.

There is a tree that grows in Mexico
called the chijol, Or stone tree. It is
of enormous proportions, both in cir
conference and height. 1t has num-
Der of branches spreading out widely
and carrying leaves of a yellowish
green color. The wood is extremely
fine and easily worked in green state
1t is not given to either warping or
splitting. The most remarkable thing
about it is that after being cut the
wood gets gradually harder, and in the
course of a few years it is absolutely
petritied whether left in the open air
or buried in the ground. From this
timber houses can be built that would
in few years become completely fire
proof and would last as long as though
built of stone.

There is a person in this city con
nected with a prominent business
house, who is making himself abnox-
ious by persistent attempts to defame
the character Of the editor Of the Re
view and injure the business Of the
paper. On account of his family
connections we have refrained from
any criticism of his deeds, but if he
keeps this nefarious business up, for
our own protection, it will be necessary
to print some. pages of his past life to
show what standing he should have in
the community. A manwho sets himself
up as a judge of others should at least
have an honorable record himself.
Unless, like the editor ofthe News, who
is proud of the character and reputa-
lion Of his own sons, he feels that his
pastis ideal.

THE DANCE IN SPAIN.
1t lis an Essential Part of the Life of
the People.

1t lis an Essential Part of the Life of
the People.
Dancing is a universal instinct with
Spanish women. The great annual feria
at Seville is largely an orgy of dancing
AS evening approaches everywhere one
begins to hear the sound of castanets
and to see the gracious movements Of
sian dance
But the fundamental instincts of the
Spaniard for dancing and the serious
and profound way in which it express
es the temperament of the people are
perhaps shown by nothing else SO
much as by the existence of religious
dancing in Spain. At the time of St.
Thomas of Nillaneuva, bishop of Va
lencia, it was customary to dance be-
fore the sacred elements in the church
es Of Seville. Toledo, JereZ and Valen-
cia. Religious dancing continued to be
common in Catalonia and in Roussillon
the most Spanish Of the French prov
inces) up to the seventeenth century
But real and unique survival Of re-
hgious dancing is the dance of the
seises in Seville cathedral, when the
choristers, wearing the same costume
as they We're 400 years ago. perform a
dance to the accompaniment Of casta-
nets in the space between the high al
tar and the choir.
Dancing is something more than an
amusement in Spain. 1t is part of that
solemn ritual which enters into the
whole life of the people.-Twentieth

no Land For These.

Those citizens of the United States
who went to Indian Territory and
married squaws for the purpose of
securing allotnents of land are find
ing out that they have a squaw for a
wife and no land Or other perquisites
that usually accrue to the Red men.
The commissioner has ruled:
sit is the policy of this Office to
break up the tribal relations by MAX
ing citizens of Indians, and not to in
crease their number by making In
dians of citizens"
1t was a test case, and the proceed
lngs were in the nature of a manda-
mus asked against the secretary of the
interior, who had refused to allow an
allotment to Willis G. West, who had
married q Wichita woman and claim
ed to have been formally adopted into
the Wichatas and affiliated bands.
West sought to enter $50 acres of land
to which he thought he was entitled
because of his having married into the
tribe and been adopted. His claim
was made under the act of 1895. He
is q resident Of Minco, [. T.
There are tWenty-nine such cases, in
yolving $4,000 acres of land, and
there may be more. The secretary OF
she interior claimed that West was
not entitled to the allotment as an
elected member Of the tribe, and the
decision today upholds his position
1t will effect the position OF many
other "squaw men, as they are known
in the territory.

Mayor Silverson does not need to
lose sleep, carry a revolver or employ
badly prosecuted as he imagines him
self to be. 1t is hardly probable that
his house or mill will be blown up as
he suggests. Such statements coming
from him are the acme of perfect
utterances to many, but made a while
ago by another man they were called
dramatic bravado." 1t does make a
difference who says things. In regard
TO anonymous letters we doubt if the
mayor has received one calculated to
be as threatening and intimidating as
many the writer has received. At first
we suspected that they originated in
the Journal Office in this city, they
were SO like some of P. Liesch's ex-
resences-troublesom superfuities-
eminating from diseased mind, but
they were a little too vile even for
him, and Mr.. Green, being Christian
and so firm believer in the Lord IS
Prayer, we were compelled to pass
up, and we hate awfully to believe they
could come from any others here, SO we
are forced to the conclusion they
come from some of St. Paul's I'm.
balanced citizens, rather than from any
IN New Ulm. The writer has not been
killed and since the day set for that
pleasant pass-time has gone, we car
assure the mayor that there is no use
calling the bluff. The man who does
his duty does not need to blow it from
the housetops, and his conscience rests
serenely at each evenings close.

ing tree bounty. This provision has
served its purpose and there is no
reason why it should not be done
away with. A farmer who has not
enterprise sufficient to improve his
own farm and look out for his own

deserving Of a farm. The money saved
from the granting of bounties should
go toward the preservation OF the
