Sitting Bull had been captured by
the United States troops and was held
In close confinement. So also was an
other obstreperous Indian held IN
confinement at post about 100 miles
away. The officer In charge OF Sit
ting Bull had been chasing the Indians
for two months and was wondering
what he would do with the captive.
In an inspired moment he decided to
arrange an interview between the two
Indians over the telephone After the
necessary ringing up Sitting Bull was
asked II he cared TO talk into the ma
chine. BE talked into It for several
minutes and did a heap OF listening
also. He put down the instrument
finally and for hours was even moro
gloomy than usual. at last beginning
TO talk TO himself, something very
rare for the Indian. Asked IL he was
dissatisfied with his accommodations
or II there was anything they could do
for him, he broke forth at last:
NO. I'm finished. It's all right when
the white mans plaything talks the
white man's-ianguage but when Il
learns TO talk the red mans tongue it's
time to stop"
1t Is believed that this talk over the
telephone between the two Indians
had considerable influence In short
ening the Indian wars.-Boston Herald.

A Unique Opportunity.

The visit of GIL. Powell, NJ.
A. B. d. Ph. d. to Bottineau
to lecture on the subject of
'Gumption" certainly provides
an opportunity of listening to a
delivery of high order which
our townsmen will not be slow
to avail themselves of. Some
of us have heard the lecture
and are looking forward with
keen delight to Dec 10th when
we shall hear it again in the
NJ. E. church. Far too often
the lectures that are brought to
a town are of a more or less
stercotyped nature and occas-
ionally little superficial too
but we are certain that so far
as DR.. Powell's effort is con-
cerned there will not be a sim
gle dissatisfied hearer. The
churches, the lodges, the liter
ary societies, the w. G. T. u.
should all take this matter up
and boost it along TO a great
success. Remember the date
is December 10th; the subject,
"Sumption;" the lecturer, DR..
G. L. Powell; the place, the
NJ. E. church, and the time, 8
o clock. Tickets. rs cents each.

When to 60 Home.

From the Rluffton, Ind,
Banner: when tired out, 90
home. When you want fun, 60
home. When you want to show
others that you have reformed
go home and let your family
get acquainted with the fact.
When you want to show your
self at your best 20 home and
do the act there. When you
feel like being extra liberal 90
home and practice on your wife
and children first. When YOU
want to shine with extra brilli-
ancy 60 home and light up the
whole household" To which
we would add, when you have
a bad cold 60 home and take
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
and quick cure is certain.

cracks. The wood is straight
grained and suitable for lum-
ber. 1t splits easily, seasons
quickly, and makes excellent
fuel.
The Norway poplar grows
very rapidly. In Minnesota it
has been known to grow 80 feet
high with diameter of II
inches in II years. 1t makes
a good shade tree, retaining it's
leaves until late in the autumn,
and on account of it's rapid
growth should prove very dcsir-
able for windbreaks and shelter
belts. SO far as is known at
present, this tree is perfectly
hardy and will grow under a
variety of soil and moisture
conditions. 1t seems, however,
to respond quickly by incrcas-
ed growth to cultivation and
care.
The advantage which the
Norway holds over the Carol
ina poplar, one of the most
popular of woods, is
chiefly in its greater hardness,
better form, and the seemingly
superior quality of it's wood is
shown in preliminary studies
made by the United States
Forest Service. 1t will be some
time before the Norway poplar
will be available for Widespread
planting, since cuttings of the
true variety are at present very
scarce and hard to obtain.

The First SNOW Fall

Last night when the winds fast asleep,
And the earth was locked in sumbers deep
From realm with noseless feet
The Snow Kings armies came hther.
They pitched their white tents far and wide,
They invested the town and riverside,
And the hills and woodlands and praires wide
Bore the marks of their hurrying footsteps.
And when early this morning with crimson face
The great arose to begin his race,
He turned on the earth his astonshed gaze
Till it shope as if strewn with rare diamonds,
And as by my window musng stood,
Gazing out over lowland, river and wood,
laughed for each post had fluffy white hood,
And each rail fluffy white blanket.
Not vestge of roughness my eye could trace,
For each blemish and scar on rude Natures face
The soft voceless snow had come to erase
And to shrOud it in garments celestial.
Then thought to myself tbs blessed to know
This lesson of charity taught by the snow
Forgetting the faults of all creatures below,
And love with endurance and PATIENCE
So a gladsome message each white flake brings,
While the wind tunes up his harp and sings,
And my heart and gratitude upward springs
For the beautiful gifts of Gods mercy.

tiles In Norway Poplar.

Tree planters throughout the
northern portion of the middle
west have had brought to their
attention lately the. extraordin-
'ary value of the No, way poplar
near relative of the common
'cottonwood,' whic h possesses
fine qualities that bid fair to
raise the prestige of the whole
cottonwood family.
=, This cottonwood is shrouded
in mystery, 50 far as it's origin
is concerned. 1t bears no cotton
and is reproduced entirely from
cuttings. T he tree grows
straight and lean and it is said
that the bark never scales or
