In the coming OF Mr. Norris and
MI. Loomis to Mitchell two very
excellent citizens will be added to
the business and social interests of
the city, and In a very short time
their families will come To establish
the home. Mr.. Morris has been in
the banking business ut Redield for
the past eleven years and has been
eminently successful in that line,
having established and is interested
in several banks i'm that part CT that
state. MI. Norris enjoys d line repu-
tation as a gentleman OF high stand
ing in the circles in which he moved,
and he has a; deep interest in Mitch
ell, having been associated as a mem-
Der of the board Of trustees of Dakota
Wesleyan University for several
years. and the change he makes is
principally on account Of being near
the college. The writer has known
Mr.. Morris for several years and
has known OF him much longer and
1T is with a great deal OF pleasure to
say that he has become a resident
of Mitchell.
I. Mr.. LOOMS, whosis the cashier of
the bank, cones from the Bon
Homme county bank, Of Scotland,
and is a gentleman in whom the
greatest trust can be placed. He
entered the banking business under
the illustrations Of Mr.. Morris and
has developed into a very careful and
conservative business nan. These
two gentlemen will bring to Mitch
ell a large volume OF money and that
their presence in the business circles
will result IN the good of the city in
more ways than II we are confident.
In It's new officers. additional new
stockholders and wider scope ct ter
ritory in a business way the Western
National has a bright outlook for
the future and its managers will
work steadfastly and ~zealously to its
greater success

Sources Of Wood PuIps.

The Virginia pine, commonly known
as scrub pine, is no longer regarded as
worthless except for cordwood. Within
the last four years the manufacturers
of wood pulp have tried the wood with
success and several mills, in Pennsyl
vania especially, are using it in con.
siderable quantities for this purpose
One Pennsylvania mill consumes in
this way 10000 cords year.
The scrub pine, whose range is
chiefly in Tennessee, North Carolina,
Kentucky, Maryland and Virginia, is
found in large quantities on old fields,
in the last two states in particular
where it has reproduced itself, I'm.
needed, since the civil war. It has re.

study of the scrub pine, which will

Miserly Millionaire.

To the average man that racks his
brain to make domestic ends meet on
$40 or SIS week there is something
startling in the light recently thrown
on the life and habits of Mr.. Samuel
Dunlap, the octogenarian millionaire,
who died few weeks ago in London
Mr.. Dunlap's housekeeper declares,
among many other strange things, that
during forty years this owner of mil
lions purchased only one suit of
clothes, cheap pair of gray trousers
and two overcoats; while four straw
hats, at shilling each, were all the
head covering required for sixteen
years.
Once a month the housekeeper cut
his hair; and that his locks should not
be wasted she had orders to stuff mat
tresses with them. When his frock
coat became frayed and green Mrs.

The Wind and the Leaves.

Wind, if I could tell my lady what you
tell the leaves,
If could only move her as you move
Then the long time of the wooing, over
which my spirit grieves.
Would be bright and brilliant as the
day of joy is brief.
To-day all in birchen bower I sat and
heard you say
The sweetest words. the sOftest words
that T have ever heard;
And you said them to the laughing leaves
in such loving way
That the delight between you for half
an hour shared.
And as I sat thexe listening to the happy
leaves and* you,
Behold, my mind went back again to
when I was boy
And I saw maiden trenlble, and love in
eyes of blue,
And world that seemed revolving with
a sudden sense Of joy.
O wind, you love to whisper to the leaves
when they are young.
You toy with them at twilight and you
fOnd1e them at dawn,
But my lady will not listen-she has seen
the red leaf flung,
She has seen the leaves lie scattered
when the summer wind was gone.

Concrete Railroad Ties.

Millions of dollars are invested in
wooden railroad ties in this country.
The wood is getting high and some
thing cheaper must be found. Con-
crete offers a solution and manv con-
crete ties are in use throughout the
Northwest, but they do not give the
same resiliency as wood. and good
devices for holding the rails firmly are
lacking. A concrete tie designed by
H. E. Percival Of Houston, Texas
is a solid tie, no steel being exposed
anywhere, and it has a special yari
able cross section in order to keep
it from becoming center bound. and
thus liable to unequal settlement. The
inventor states that the shape must
be such as to distribute the eccentric
pressure, which he claims ;. to have
done in this tie by cutting away the
center for 4 feet, making it V-shaped.
The ends are made oval, to give a
much wider bearing, for the distance
OF feet at each end. The dimensions
OF the tie are 8 feet length, 81 inch
face and 9 inches in depth. He also
claims that the form of the tie makes
it a "self-tamper,' and thus easy to
maintain. Under each rail is q
2x9x14 inch wood cushion, which has
been previously treated by wood pre-
server, and it is made in such shape
as to readily give to the pressure as
a train passes over. The rails are fast
ened to the tie by a screw pin ten
inches long and % inch in. diameter.
This spike passes through the wooden
cushion and screws down into "a sock

Didn't Care to Advertise Wealth.

One Of the wealthy residents in the
Wicker park district is a manufacture
er who from a street peddler worked
himself up into position and has &C.
cumulated money so that his neigh
bors estimate his wealth at about
$500, 900. Throughout his career he has
never learned to write and his figur-
Ing has been upon a system peculiar
to himself. A few days ago some OF
his friends, in the presence of re-
porter urged the manufacturer to tell
some Of his experiences so that an
article might be published about him.
Pulling out some old tax receipts
he said: 1T might be nice to get my
name in the paper and a .writeup
which you think might help me so
cially. If you print, however, that
I am worth 100000 then the board of
review will raise my taxes. I have
found that people in society pay for
what they claim to have more often

Metallic Tantaiun1.


Metallic tantalum, which is of such
interest at the present time, was first
prepared by DR.. Verne, Won Bolton by
submitting tantalum terroxide to an
alternating electric current in a
vacuum tube, the metal separating at
the cathode. In a later process. a
mixed salt OF tanta;um fluoride and
potassium fuoride is reduced by 'potas-
SUM, and the resulting mixture of
pure metal and oxide is separated by
fractional distillation. The metal is so
ductile that it can be drawn into a.
wire 1900 Of an inch III diameter.
Mixed with unaltered oxide, It becomes
harder than, the diamond and tougher
than the best steel, and at moderate
cost it would be the ideal battleship
armor. AS lamp filamenr, tantalum
uses only half as much current as car
bon for the same light. A peculiarly
Of tantalum is that it sometimes as
sumes the passive state, and cell of
two electrodes of this metal, with sui

Substituting platinum for one cleo
trode, the current can pass in one di-
rection only.

Baby talks, and to him who listens
it reveals. Baby thinks, and it is we'll
