Indians May Lease Lands.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-The In.
dian bureau has been advised Of the
willingness of the Sioux Indians at
the Cheyenne river reserv alton to
lease about 100, 900 acres OF their land
to the band of 300 Utes who left their
reserva alton in Utah last summer and
who wintered at Camp Meade. Moth
ing has been heard as the attitude OF
the Utes toward this proposition, but
the fact that they have expressed a
determinat to live near where they
now are leads to the conclusion tn at
they will accept. The bureau will put
no obstacle in the way OF such an
agreement, If the details are satisfac-
tory,

Officers Seize Liquor.

MlNoT, N. d., April 26.--The first
anti whisky raid in Minot under the
law passed by the last legisl ature took
place at O'Clock this morning, when
Chief Hagen, assisted by Assistant
Pat Hayland, captured a carload of
intoxica ating liquor in the Great Nor
theru freight house. The liquor con.
sisted of beer, malt and whisky in
bottle and whisky in barrels. 1t was
consigned to different persons in
Minot, and was taken in drays direct
to the city hall, where it was locked
up. The seizure was made under the
law passed by the last legislature au.
thorizing and directing police officers,
wherever they have reason to believe
that there is intoxic cating!liquor in any
place, to make raid without a search
warrant, which in the past has been
deemed necessary.
Chief Hagen got wind that there was
some beer in the cold storage at the
Great Northern freight!house, and on
making investig alton made discov-
cry that surprised him. There was a
large quantity of intoxic ating liquors,
including beer malt and whisky. All
told, there was about q carload which
would amount in dollars and cents to
several thousand dollars. The ques.

POOR MR.. BRAIN.

Poor Mr.. Brain fell i'll one day; don't
know what he'd got,
But he was racked all over, yet felt
neither cold nor hot.
At last he became uneasy, for he had
become so thin,
That he imagined he was going to die,
SO he called the doctor in.
The doctor came and bade him tell what
twas that ail'd him so,
And Mr.. Brain explained to him his
bitter tale OF woe.
Dear sir, your case is very bad at
last the doctor said;
cts dreadful case OF laziness, and l
wonder you're not dead.
However, We must not despair, we must
take a cheerful view
OF this most distressing malady, and see
what We can do.
eve must poultice you with Industry
it cures so many ills
And we must put you on course of
Energetic pills.
Your food we must attend to, You must
take daily course
OF History and Geography, with Aiith-
metic for sauce;
And you must take some Interest in
everything you do,
Or you won't digest your food at all, and
twill do no good to you.
"You had better take, when you wake,
agood, strong dose of Thought,
1t will help to make you better and feel
brighter, as you ought;
Take some sweet extract of Cheerfulness
to wash down every meal,
And the laziness will vanish-you will
daily better feel.
"We can mitigate this treatment just a
little now and then;
You can take a little exercise with
needle or with pen;
Persevere, and you will soon be in good
health, sir, foIetell."
He persevered as he was told-Mr. Brain
is now quite we'll.

Orifin of Familiar Phrases.

The phrase He's brick" says
the Pathfinder. originated from the
reply of the King of Sparta, who,
when asked where were the walls of
his city, replied that Sparta had
so, 900 soldiers, land every man is a
brick.
Numerous versions of the origin OF
"deadhead," meaning one who gets
something free, have been given,
claiming it as modern phrase, but
history shows that the term was used
in precisely its present sense at least
as early as the palmy days of Pom
peii, when those who had free seats
at the theater were provided>with
ivory checks in the shape of a skull

O'Clock in the morning, the minister,
while enjoying deep slumber, was
awakened by the continued ringing
of his door-bell. He went to the door
and conversed through crack with
two very determined young women.
In the background he could discern
dimly a very young girl and a very
young man.
This marriage" said the eldest
woman, must take place tonight.
We have been looking for this young
mamie is only boy of eighteen
for a long time, and we found him
tonight. He is willing, and our
sister must be his wife tonight"
The preacher told them they must
wait until he put on dressing
gown, as he would not dress up
for a wedding at that hour of night.
AS they were leaving the minis.
ter's house, after the marriage had
been performed for their sister, the
eldest sister said to the preacher:
We've spent all our money, OF
nearly all, on automobiles and mes

something, and are very grateful"

THE MORE VALUABLE WOODS.
Walnut Has About DISAPPEARED and Oak ant
Cherry Are Growinf Scarce.

Cherry Are Growing Scarce.
Old and well-seasoned oak is hard
to get and harder to work, says the
Chicago Journal There is no great
quantity of old oak furniture in the
market, and old pieces that would
supply large enough lumber for i'm
portant work are seldom found. New
kiln-dried oak is uncertain, being
liable to warp and crack.
Panelled articles can be made of
such material with some safety, but
large, solid articles are likely to give
a bad account of themselves at the
end of q winter in steam-heated
house.
Rosewood, also, the best cabinet
makers distrust. This wood has a
peculiar oily quality that makes it
unsafe when glued. For this reason
rosewood is used chiefly as veneer.
Thin sheets lose much of their oil,
and take glue satisfactorily.
Native walnut is no longer favor
ite with the cabinet makers. This
wood was in effect exhausted a quar-
ter of century ago or more, and it
is now as expensive as mahogany,
and by no means as beautiful.
Chestnut is good deal priced, not
for furniture, but for wainscoating,
and for doors. 1t is sometimes put
up in the rough with good effect, and
sometimes oiled and polished, when
it is remarkably beautiful, consider
ing the cost.
Gulf cypress is used with great ef
feet in like fashion. and when filled
and oiled it makes one of the most
beautiful woods for inexpensive in
terror decoration.
Cherry was the old substitute for
mahogany, and is still favOrite
wood with the furniture makers. 1t
is, however, not easily obtained in a
properly seasoned condition, for pro-
per seasoning makes it expensive.
The fact is that with cherry, as
with oak and mahogany, the season
ing is an important element of cost.
The cabinet maker who must sink
his capital for two or three years in
wood that is undergoing the process
of seasoning finds it hard to compete
with those who use kiln-dried mater
ial.
Mahogany is the favorite wood
with the best cabinet makers. There
is q vast amount of seasoned mahog-
any to be had from ruinous old arti-
cles made in the last century, when
the rage for mahogany was well de-
veloped; and while the new mahog-
any is less beautiful than the old,
purchasers of furniture seem to have
learned that it is worth while to have
the new wood well seasoned.

and terribly mangled by a Northern

pie fashion in Texas. There is a 2
cent-a-mile bill before the Legisla-
ture there, and the railroads meet ii
with an offer to spend $4,000, 900 in
extensions and improvements within
the next fourteen months if the bill
is defeated. If the bill passes the
projects will be indefinitely post
poned. There is sense in this way of
meeting Objectionable legislation. 1t
is open, fair and above board. A
great improvement on maintaining
an expensive lobby of shyster lawyers
to work secretly and underhandedly
against any and every measure the
railroads regard as harmful. Why
