Moving a Whole Town.

Quite as melancholy as the moss
grown ruins Of older civilization are
the frame-built boom" towns of the
west. located where the railroad was
once expected to go but did not. From
one of those deSolate spectacles, how
ever, western ingenuity has happily
saved us. AT the opening Of the Rose
bud reservation lands in South Dakota
two years ago towns were planted at
once all over the Aew region, so that
whichever way the railroad might
choose for reaching Bonesteel one or
another Of them would be sure to in
tercept it. Thus Of the rival towns Of
Dallas and Gregory it was Gregory
which got the railroad. Dallas, instead
Of reconciling itself TO the usual linger-
ing death or feeble survival, planned to
join forces with Gregory. The prairie
is level There We're horses, wind
lasses and rollers to be had and the
buildings Of the town were actually
dragged in procession to the new site.

At a recent dinner, which was at

President Buckham of the university
Of Vermont, told the following of Bish-
op Hall Of the Episcopal diocese of

natured chaff about the liberal views

He said he had heard Of a negro
who many times applied for member
ship in st. PauIs church at Burling-
ton, but had not been able to satisfy
the bishop that his state Of mind en-
titled him to admission. The negro
had been advised to pray that his
spiritual condition might improve.
After doing so, he made a new APP
plication. The bishop then said to
him:
"Well. Erastus, have you prayed as
/ told you to do?''
"Yas, indeedy, sub! l done prayed

How to Hang Pictures.

Does anybody still hang pictures at
an angle on the wall? Has it not been
impressed on everybody that picture
to show to the best advantage should
hang fiat against the wall?
1t was not SO long ago that every
picture dipped at an angle maybe Of
80 degrees. The grouping Of pictures
was, of course, impossible when this
practice was followed, because no two
could ever be made to hang ut the
same angle. Now pictures are hung
fat.
The tendency to put as little fur.
niture as possible into rooms has had
its effect on the walls One picture
is now hung in the center of each wall.
Broad ribhon-like hangings are fire.
quently used instead Of wires-at least
the wires are hidden by these ribbons,
which fall from a rosette at the cell
ing.
Small pictures are hardest to ar
range in accordance with the present
styles. The best treatment Of them is
to make a mass effect by hanging them
all together.

Obeyed the Generals Order.

General Sherman once possessed an
Irish servant whose forte was asking
questions and trying to find out the
why and wherefore of everything he
was told to do. During a battle an
orderly one day approached the gem
eral and told him that his favorite
horse. Ross, had been killed.
Calling his Irish servant the general
said: Go skin Ross"
''Why, sir, is Ross dead" began
the man.
General Sherman rose up in his
wrath, saying: Never mind whether
he is dead or mott told you to go out
and skin him.
The man returned about three hours
later and Sherman hailed him with
the words:
Where have you been? Does il
take you three hours TO skin a horse %
NO." answered Mike, "but it took
me about two hours to catch him."

REAL OCTOPUS CAUGHT
BY ELEVATOR TOM CAT

Amateur scientists along Central ave-
nue. are greatly puzzled over an octo-
pus, or devilfsh. which was discovered
at the Diamond elevator yesterday. The
strange being is now in alcohol and is
on exhibition in the saloon Of J. G..
Odell, 701 Central avenue, where it is
an object Of the greatest curiosity.
Early yesterday, as Martin Lang
don, clerk at the elevator, opened
the door, he noticed the big tomcat be-
longing to the place coming across the
Great Northern tracks dragging a
shopeless mass as big as the sat itself
Mr.. Langdon watched the cat with in
terest. It came to the elevator, en-
tered the door and dropped it's burden
at Mr.. Langdon g feet. "
The latter was startled by what he
saw, for one glance convinced him that
it was an actopus which lay before
him. The body was about four inches
across, and there were eight arms or
tentacles about fourteen inches long,
each arm having about forty suckers. !.
No life was discerned, but the boyd
was not in state of decomposition,
and to all appearances the fish had
been alive until short time before It
was found. Where the devil fish came
from is a mystery. # :.

CHARTER Is DEFECTIVE
CITY CONTROLLER BROWN REC
oMMENDs CHANGE RELATIVE
TO DEPOSIT OF PUBLIC FUNDS.

The charter commission has received
a communication from City Controller
Brown, in which he suggests an amend
ment to the charter section relating to
repositories for city funds. The pres
cnt charter provides that the city coun-
Gil shall designate the banks or finan-
cial institutions with which the city
funds shall be deposited, but can only
select such as will pay 8. per cent inter
est on daily balances and per, cent
on certificates of deposit.
No banking institution will pay this
at the present time, and while the pro-
vision might have been a wise one at
the time the charter. was drafted it has
been dead letter for many years.
The result has been that the city
treasurer has placed; the money wher-
ever he has desired, and while all the
treasurers have protected themselves,
the city has no direct security from
the banking houses for the protection
of. it's funds. &HGb: Es:E ~ ~<i.~.tE 5.
The charter commissioners are mucA
impressed with the point made by Mr..
Brown and will consider it at their next
meeting. The change can be made
with case, and it will doubtless be one
Of the features of the document to be
submitted to a vote at the next cleo
