Clothes and the Man

THAT clothes made the man was as much
trite truth in Dante'S dav as now, aC-
cordng to an old story told by Sercambi
Dante was invited by King to dine with
him, along with few other chosen friends.
but he came attired quite shabbily, given
a place below the salt, and was overlooked
and apparently forgotten until the feast WAS
over, when the King. having recollected him
self. asked:
BY the by what has become of the poet
| had intended to talk to-
Dante, offended and hurt by the slight, had
taken his departure, but returned when fol-
lowed and invited anew. This time he came
to supper superbly dressed in crimson velvet
and gold, and served with extreme atten-
ton; but the courtierS observed with amaze
ment that he poured the soup down his sleeves,
tucked outlets into his breast, and sneared
his rich attire with sauces.
Good gracious, Your Majesty" observed
the boldest of the supping mobiles, why has
this poet such manners"
The question was passed on to Dante who
gravely replied, When | came here dressed
shabbily and sat quietly in my corner, | was
forgotten and Snubbed. | now come in fine
clothes and am very much attended to. |
therefore concluded that it was rather my
clothes than myself that you admired and
invited, and was willing to bestow on them a
just share Of your hospitality

The Painter and the Magistrates

THAT genius is not without a fair proper
ton of a sense of humor is shown by the
following laughable incident that is related
of the celebrated Schwartz, the German
painter:
He had been engaged by the day to decorate
the ceiling of the town hall at Munich; but his
love for Jolly life led to all kinds of compca-
tons and misunderstanding between him and
the magistrates and overseers of the work,
and they were kept busy hunting him out at
the cabaret.
At last Schwartz, becoming annoyed at this
persistent espionage. conceived the idea of
making image of himself, stuffed with
wool. This he placed on the scaffOld, in his
own accustomed posture as if at work. with
the legs hanging down between the staging !;
and one of his boon companions was sent to
move it little two or three times day, and
to take it away at noon and might. The inn
keeper was privy to the plot, and by
this means Schwartz was left in peace to
himself.
This went on for an entire fortnight The
officers came twice a day to look after him,
and. seeing him apparently working industri
ously. OF course suspected there was moth
ing wrong.
The scheme was never divuged. as Schwartz
and his companions were afraid of the

IN rcfutation of the hereditary creed that
woman is always inhuman to the other
woman" a little anecdote about Mabran
and Sontag is really refreshing.
They frequently sang in the same company,
and on such occasions the presence of the one
seemed to stimulate the genius of the other
so much that each time Madam Sontag
achieved triumph. Maibran would weep and

1t was long the ardent desire of amateurs
to hear these two charming arti5teS together
in the same opera; but they entertained
mutual fear of each other and for sometime
this coveted qualification was deferred. How
ever, one night there was to be concert at
the house of the Countess Merlin. \ plot
had been laid secretly, and toward the close
of the concert they were requested to sing the
duet in " 'ranCredi"
For some moments each OF them manifested
decided hesitation to comply; but finally
yielded and approached the piano amid
They were agitated and almost amusingly
observant of each other: but as the symphony
fixed their attention the duet began.
The sympathetic emotion of the little audi
enCe most vivid, and SO equally divided
that at the close of the duet and in the very
midst of the tumult of feeling they stood look
ing at each other bewildered. astonished, de-
lighted, and swept away by spontaneity of
feeling and involuntary attraction, their hands
and lips met, and kiss of sistery peace was
exchanged with all the vivacity and impul-
siveness of girhood. The effect was never to
be forgotten by those who witnessed it. 1t
a most charming tribute of genius to

" Gone to the Devil "

THE old inns of England have been respon--

sayings. An instance of this is the proverbiai
St, London, near Temple Bar, was once a
tavern which was known by the strictly old
fashioned name, The Devil and Saint Dun

excellent wines, and received large patronage
from the lawyers of Temple Bar.
1t was familiarly known as The Devil
and when lawyer left his office to go there he
usually left a notice on his door, Gone to
the Devil" There were some who patronized
the tavern to the neglect of their business.
and the notice was regularly exhibited on
their doors that it finally came to be used to
characterize the who was losing his grip

The ailor Tenor

r UNNlNG almost in parallel lines is the
little story of the great Nozari Among
the chorus singers of the theater of Bergamo,
Italy, there a tailor, of very moderate
means and resources who employed all his
talents and ability toward the support of
beloved mother One day, as it CHANGED, the
celebrated singer NOzar went to the shop of
this modest artist in mems wearing apparel,
to place an order for an evening suit.
After conversing for some little time upon
the all absorbing subject of fit and finish, the
singer noticed that the face of the tailor was
familiar, and, making inquiries. discovered
that he belonged to the opera chorus.
Have you a good voice." asked Nozari.
"Not particularly" replied the tailor. Il
can scarcely reach A"
Let me hear" demanded Nozari, stepping
to piano that stood in one corner of the
shop. "Begin!"
The tailor with difficulty reached G.
Now the A"
g cannot, signor"
Sing the A! l command you" cried
Nozari, showing signs of anger.
Again great effort was made, and A was
reached.
And now the B f1atl" cried Nozari
The unfortunate tailor protested, but all in
vain; Nozari was determined.
Indeed | am not able"
" Sing it. or by my soul l will"
No, Signor; do not be angry; | will
try"
The B fiat was accomplished, and in a man
ner that fairly astonished the quondam pupil
himself. His ambition began to manifest
itself.
Now you see that it is possible" said
Nozari in triumph. and | tell you, my
son, if you will but practise assiduously YOU
will become the first tenor of Italy"
Nozari not mistaken; for the poor tailor
and chorus singer became afterward the great
Rubin.

Her Fondness for Stick Pins

A RATHER comical story relating to the
great Rachel and at one time her devoted
admirer, Prince Demidoff, runs this way
1t seems that upon the occasion of the
Princes visits to the charming actress she
would often greet him in playful mood, and.
while criticizing his attire, which was the
special object of his thought, would draw
from his neckte the pin which secured it. a
cameo topaz, ruby. or whatever it might
chance to be, and place it in her pin cushion,
or upon her corsage.
This habit greatly amused the Prince, it
seemed so childish and such mischevous
act and it really added to her charm in his
eyes. One day, however, he called wearing
sort OF stock, and consequently had no jewel.
The observant maid noticed that there was
no pin in the tie of Demidotf, and when she
announced him to her mistress, mentioned
the fact. 1t is the Prince; but he wears a
stock.
Then say l am out" replied Rachel.
Finding himself refused an interview. the
Prince. set about learning the real reason.
1t nightly amused him, and thereafter he
never appeared without the bauble that had
always proved the sesame to the great ac-
tress's presence.

Elk Point Drainage Project Will Cost
S25. 600.

One of the greatest drainage
projects to be undertaken in Union
county will be acted upon by the
board of county commissioners at a
meeting to be held at the court house
in Elk Point Nov. 6. The county
surveyors report gives the length Of
the main ditch to be eight miles, and
in addition to this there are to be
eight small lateral bitches, which will
extend through a portion of the coun-
ty where the land is valuable. The
cost of the immense ditch will be in
the neighborhood Of $4,000. If the
decision of the board of county COM
missioners is in favor of this drainage
project the cast will be apportioned
among the land wne who will be
benefited by the construction of the
ditch and assessed against the and in
proportion to the number of acres
drained. The construction of such
a ditch would be a great benefit to the
low land on the bottoms, which are
usually wet in the spring on account
of heavy rains.

6 O'Clock yesterday morning, and
when he turned his back or the camp
it was with determination not to re-
turn. He headed toward Bear Lake.
whence on Sunday he will remove to
another camp, which will be pitched
near Newellton, in Tensas parish, on
a branch of the Iron Mountain rail-
road. The change of location was de
cided upon not only because no bear
had been killed, but because the presi-
dent and his friends became con-
vinced that there We're none on the
Upper Tensas.
No member Of the party has secured
the remotest glimpse of a bear. nor
have any of the dogs struck a we'll de-
fined bear trail. The president ac-
cepts the situation philosophically.
The reports from Newellton are en-
couraging. Ever since the presidents
arrival in this section he has been
receiving letters telling him that
there were plenty of bears within a
few miles of hal town.

est, Part OF Irrigation Work Will Be
Dropped.
Practically 400 feet of the big sy-
phon under the Belle Fourche river
on the government irrigation project
near Belle Fourche is completed, and
it is probable that this will be the last
work wone on the south side of the
project for some time to come, unless
congress makes further appropriation
this winter.
At present more than $500, 900 is
needed to complete the work done on
the south side. The original appro-
priation of $2,1O0, 900 for the whole
project will not be sufficient to COM
plete both sides of the river and the
reclamation service officials have de-
clined to make further appropriation
for the south side until the land own
ers show a greater interest il the
work.
1t is claimed by the government
that this is the only one of the big ir.
rigation projects where land owners
are not over anxious to have the wa.
