"But I'm not here" said TEDDY-G,
TO study English history;
I'm here to-day to have some fun
With royal armor, spear, and gum"
And fun he had double share,
Some fun to keep and some to spare.
They found their way to an armor hall,
Where spears and guns lined every wall;
And armor suits, with faces hard,
Stood round like army men on guard;
And some on horses made OF wood
Looked just as though they understood
That they must through the ages stand
Till kind or prince gave the command
To forward march; to face the foe;
To do or die; to victory go.
TEDDY-G walked up to belted knight
And said, I'm ready for fight;
This place is dead; let you and me
Take sides and each general be
And choose these soldiers, one by one,
And give each man a spear and gun,
And TEDDY-B will be the king
And sit up there and direct the thing
We'll make steel fly and sabers clash
And burst this old Tower all to smash"
But the knight just grinned through coat of mail,
And the horse didn't even stir his tail
Said TEDDY-B. Lets try on suits
From helmet down to iron-bound boots;
And then load ND with spear and shield
And make this floor battlefield"
They tried the suits and TEDDY-G
Got dressed in iron from head to knee.
But" said TEDDY-B, "on day so hot
A hat Of iron, built ike pot,
Is arnor enough for Teddy Bear;
This pot is all that I shall wear"
They marched around like two dragons
Singing "Dixie Land and other tunes;
The Changing swords and coats of lead
Making noise enough to wake the dead
They placed ten armored men in line
Who with shields and spears looked very fine;
And these they drilled for an hour or So
But not man moved head or toe.
When of this fun they had enough
TEDDY-G tried hard to take off the stuff;
But each piece stuck from head TO knee,
And only his hands and feet were free.
He dinted his body and lost some hair
In changing back from knight to bear
But trouble came as it does in showers,
For the yeoman guards were trying for hours
To climb outside and scale wall
And through window reach the hall,
To come upon them unawares
And capture alive the Teddy Bears
But bears can climb and when they spied
The yeoman heads on the other side,
! They climbed avail to window near

They made la 'bus traveling show

They made that bus travelling show
Down busy streets for a mile or so.
While the cheering crowds on the walks be
Called to each other, Don't chu-know,
They're Teddy Bears, bah jove, and smart;
They're pulling London all apart"
But the fur that day had just begun,
And it ended up with a lively run.
They found their way to the Tower gate,
And asked the yeoman guard the rate,
By day or week, for royal board
And ,he price of armor, ak, and sword,
And other things Of confusing kind,
While TEDDY-G reached round behind
And got tbs KEYS and bolted quick
And unlocked the massive gate so slick
That before the yeoman saw the trick
The Teddy Bears were both inside,
Locked in the Tower without a guide
This Tower has history, grim and cold
OF wicked deeds and treachery bold,
As black as ever has been told;
OF queens beheaded, and children killed,
And men imprisoned because they willed
TO speak the truth; and priests, and peers
Confined in dungeons for twenty years
And then beneaded, the records say,
To make a royal holiday,
Its turret walls and gates of fame
Are monuments 70 history's shame.
The Washington herald., 1907-03-24

And quick as wink were out and Gear;
But they landed on tower near by
With turrets rough and very high,
And before they reached the boundary street
They had TO jump full twenty feet.
Twas then the race of the day began;
The Bears made tracks and the yeomen ran;
But the race was won at the outer gate,
When the Bears sat down to rest and wait;
For said TEDDY-B to these yeomen brave,
It's right to make tourists behave,
But We are here, as you've been told,
To make things merry for young and old;
To prove to all, both grave and gay
That this world of ours was made for play"
A yeoman bowed and said twas true
That the Tower Of London had records few
Where sunshine took the place of shade.
And he thanked the Bears for the fun they made
The following day they packed their grip,
And started off on another trip;
This time TO Paris, to learn the way
To P0rleS-goHs and be truly gay.

VIII-THE BEARS IN LONDON
TOWER.

The Teddy Bears reached the London Tower
As they said they would, at an early hour
They made the trip on London bus,
And climbed on top and made fuss
With the ticket man, who said that they
Should take two seats and the law obey
And not stand up and run around
To get tumbled off upon the ground
This is no circus ring, said he,
Or elephant or gymnazee"
But the Bears were out on pleasure bent,
And argument wasn't worth a cent.

Early Dentistry. /

The art Of dentistry was practiced
among the Egyptians and Etruscans,
and there are evidences In mummies
and skulls that IN very ancient times
teeth were filed and efforts were made
to supply the loss Of natural by arti-
fetal teeth. The first writer on the
treatment OF diseased teeth was Ga
len. The science was introduced into
America BY John Greenwood, who es-
tablished himself In New York IN 1888.
In 1890 and again in 17a5 he carved In
ivory an entire set Of teeth for General
Washington. 5.ss

Don't wait any longer if you expect
to get any OF our stock at the present

10 get any Or our stock at the present
price.
Our advertisements are running
now in a number Of papers throughout
the state, and inquiries are coming in
from every direction, with the result
that the allotment of 40c stock may
be cleaned up at any moment.
You may have thought during the:
month Of April, when the stock was
selling at 80 cents. that you would be-
come the owner Of a few hundred
shares at least, but having neglected
the opportunity you are in a fair way
to miss another one unless you act
promptly.
Opportunity doesn't come butting
into you at every street corner you
turn, but IL by any chance you come
butting into opportunity it is the
better plan to grab on hard and fast.
Opportunity is a sly old girl, but
she does meet you face to face once
in while, and although she does not
court your glances, she is always In a.
somewhat receptive frame Of mind,
but it always up to yon to make the
proper advances.
This sly old girl, opportunity, has
paraded before you for several weeks
now. and she may continue her pa
rade for several weeks vet. but 1t all
depends. There is a chance she may
be grabbed off right before your eyes,
and in that event there will be no one
to blame but yourself.
At no time down to the present has
this sly old girl been logged out in
her very best raiment, which is only
another way of saying that her
charms have not been framed in the
most attractive setting. There is
much more attractive setting than
you have ben told about, but the ne
scessity for going into details lis nei-
the urgent nor important, because the
setting as outlined has been sufficient
" attractive for many Of the best
known citizens Of Bismarck and other
places, and should be sufficiently at
tractive for you.
Just as q suggestion suppose you
ask few questions as to who have
become stockholders in the Cold Cord
Mining Co. It might surprise you a
little to know who some OF the stock
holders are We would like to tell
you In our public advertisements, but
that might be regarded as violation
corporation ethics. as it certainly
would be OF the implied promise to
abstain from the use of names not spe-
officially authorized.
Now, to get back to this sly old
girl, Opportunity, why not grab her
on one of herdai1y parades? Are you
afraid she would repulse you? Do
YOU think she would turn you down
and embarass you by a failure to re-
turn your saIutation? Well, If that is.
the case, and you are too tinid to
take your chances, You WIN always
be too timid to ever get ahead In this
world, and probably in the next one
also. &
Naturally, II you have all the money
You want, this sly old girl Opportu-
nifty, that we have been talking about,
will not and cannot interest you. Nat
uraily you would not be tempted even
to the extent Of mild Irritation, and
It would be quite unnatural to try to
scrape an acquaintance. But, If YOU
haven't got all the money YOU want.
nor all you expect to get, then you
better get busy before it gets ever
lastingly too late.

MAKING A BAL Don.


Precautions Taken 10 Keep tho 0as
Bag From Destruction. !:
6 1t may interest the reader to hear
something about the construction Of a
big modern balloon and its equipments.
It Is made of what Is known as bal
loon cloth, which sometimes Is Of silk
and Is sewed In small sections OF about
q yard square, 30 that II one Of the sec,
lions should burst the whole balloon
would not collapse and destroy the
.aeronaut
AT the top Of the bag is the valve to-
let the gas out when one wishes to de-
scend. a rope for opening 1t runs from
this valve through the center OF the
balloon to the operator in the basket.
The balloon Is filed through the neck,
and this Ii left always open, SO that
when the gas expands from the heat OF
the sun or the lesser pressure OF high
attitudes the gas may escape and not
burst the envelope sis Is.
AS soon as the balloon is sewed to-
gether 1t Is blown full Of air and given
three coats OF varnish. Each coat must
be allowed to dry thor1>sghly before
the next is applied, or e they would
never become perfectly ury. and the.
balloon would be likely to be destroyed
at any minute from spontaneous COM
bustion. This spontaneous combustion
is not bursting into fame, but q kind
OF exceedingly quick dry rot. myself
have lost three balloons through IT.
Once In my factory we were looking at
beauty when some one shifted the
air and remarked, Thomas balloon is.
gone. And SO It proved to be. Five
minutes saw it destroye rotten SO
that you could poke your finger through
It. u
Sometimes the balloon Is SO affected
In only q few sections, and man may
make an ascension thinking his bal
loon is all right. Protected by the fine
netting which envelops the balloon it
self, he may even get up to some height
before discovering his danger. In for
mer times there were many fatal acct:
dents from this cause.
When q balloon Is packed, talcum or
some other powder Is sprinkled over
the folds to keep them from adhering
to each other. II this is neglected the.
balloon will be ruined, especially In hot:
weather.
AS I said, fine netting covers the
balloon proper both to strengthen 1t
and to carry the weight Of the basket
and its contents. All the strands OF
the netting come together in the .scon-
centrating ring" just above the basket,
in which the aeronaut stands. The an
Choir and guide ropes as well as the
basket are fastened to this concentrat-
/ ing ring. s Il
All modern balloons, besides the
valve. have a rip cord fastened to a.
long patch seWed in the envelope, by
means Of which the balloon can be cut
IN two and brought to earth Instantly.
This is never used except In case Of ex-
treIne emergency and where the basket
lie within ten or fifteen feet OF the
ground. DR.. ]. F.. Thomas in Apple

The chance to tag on Is not even a
little bit like Time. which goes on for
ever. It is not even like the seasons
in the vicinity OF Bismarck nine
months winter and three months
;dnmmed late in the fall, because the
chance is likely to fall in day; Ia
other words, lost. and lost forever.
8 II it strikes you that there has been
q vein Of levity running through many
of our advertisements, 1t has been to
attract and amuse with the idea OF
having the more serious side Of the
proposition talked about, that is the
Investment side. An investment is
not joke. It is a business PROPOSE
ton. It is q serious matter. 1t is
matter a man should approach with
his wits on the alert. No one Is will
ing to throw his money away. It is too
hard to get. Therefore the moment
the question arises. all the elements
surrounding the proposition must be
properly considered.
It is not Sufficient that the men at
the head Of the proposition are abso-
5lutely honest. It is not sufficient that
the proposition itself is honest but
It is sufficient il both are honest. We
believe in our proposition, and we be-
lieve in ourselves. We believe we
fsa n s,,~r
proposition in the United States today
and believing that we have asked our
personal friends as we'll as the gener-
al public to join us. We believe we
can make money for everyone who be-
comes interested with us, and that be
lief is based upon an absolute know
ledge of the property in which we are
selling the stock. It is a proven mine
with enormous values in sight more
than enough to pay the present sell
ing price OF the stock six times over,
and which leaves out of consideration
the fabulous possibilities in three Of
the greatest gold bearing quartz veins
ever discovered in this or any other
Z country.
1t is not within reason that a propo-
sition possessing such elements Of
strength as this can long remain on
the market. It is certain to be closed
soon. It may be closed today. and if
/ you are going to avail yourself of the
opportunity to get in right, you should
do it without further delay. Delays
are dangerous, anyway, so why not
get in today.
In our advertisement several days
ago we quoted what Cecil Rhodes had
to say about mining and mining
stocks His advice was to buy mining
stocks low We are offering mining
stock for 40 cents per share that is
actually worth $3.50, with everything
in favor Of ITS soon becoming worth
ten times that much
Cecil Rhodes also said, buy good
mining stock now. Our stock is good
because of the values behind it, and it
is going to be great deal better, be-
cause we win be earning dividends
IN the very near future. Stocks that
only earn 6 or z per cent per annur1
are worth par. We cannot help earn
ing ten. perhaps twenty times that
much.
Better get in on the ground floor at
once, because the chance will not last
forever.
Mr.. w. F. Leech, the treasurer OF
our company, will be at the North
west hotel all day today. Why. not
have little talk with him? He will
be glad to see You, and answer such
questions as may not have been an
ticipated IN our advertisements.

JAPAN IS CAUTIOUS
VIII Probably Follow Lead of Great
Britain at The Hague

TOKYO, June 11.-Apparently Japan
approaches The Hague with a tentative
program to be given definite shape by
the Developments of the conference
The government, beyond formal ex-
preston Of desire that the. confer
ence might be productive of benehcent
results. has maintained much reserve
regarding its attitude on the larger
questions that will come up. Prom
inent men IN both official and private
life have not concealed their belief.
however, that any practical results are
at best problenAaticaL Broadly speak
ing, IL is believed that the Japanese
delegates viii act IN close harmony
with Great Britain and Will be found
in alignment with that country on all
important matters
AS regards the purely military SUBJ
jects which viii come before the con-
ference, such as the regulations Of
hostilities by land and sea. the use of
floating mines, control of wireless tel
egraph and kindred matters. Japan
feels that recent events have given her
a practical knowledge which the con-
ference cannot fail to recognize, and
the delegates are expected to assume q
prominent place in any such discus
sions. In the main. however, Japan
feels that as far as she is concerned.
The Hague conference is principally of
Importance in the opportunity that it
affords to emphasize her position in
international affairs.
