Ole Swenson, Bismarck, N. D.: l
am here. JAS. J. HILL.
Mr.. Hill is hard man to get at.
1t has often been remarked that it
is much easier to secure an audi
ence with the president Of the
United States than with the head of
the Great Northern railway. And
when it comes to newspaper men-
we'll, the scribe who is fortunate
enough to get in to the big man and
get any real news out of him. is
subject of much congratulation.
This is more true of the newspaper
men in ST. Paul, Mr.. Hills home
town, than in the east Mr.. Hill
evidently believes that little pub
licity through the medium of big
New York daily is worth spending
half hour on.
The name, Jim" Hill, is one to
work magic with in the west. If
Jim" Hill is behind a thing out
west, it's good. And that settles it.
A story is told of two Swedes in
Duluth. One of them had just ar
rived from the backwoods of Can
ada and was unusually ignorant of
things American. They were gazing
over the lake front when the stran-
ger said:
dat been big boat"
"Wan big boat" answered his
friend. Jim Hill, he own dat. Jim
Hill he own railroad; he own St.
Paul; he own horses. big farms,
gold mines"
Dat Jim Hill he must be big
man." said the first, much i'm
pressed.
The conversation drifted to other
subjects, when the more metropoli-
tan of the two said:
Queen Victoria, she been dead"
mo"
eyes" E
Dan who been queen now?"
Oar been no queen; Edward, he
been king"
"Vell.' said the green Swede from
Canada, dat Edward, he must have
big pull with Jim Hill to be king,
by damn!"

Crusade For Quietness
BY STUART MAGICIAN

Oh, have you heard the new crusade
That Gotham town does now invade:
That darngly has come, arrayed
With splendid equipoise,
Against most everything, | guess,
Since it right boldly does confess
It's object is to quite suppress
Unnecessary noise?
They'll first subdue the bowling swell;
They'll rule out crying shames as well,
And newspapers must never tell
OF races won by scratches.
OF course. the growler mustn't rush.
But then the Dreaming farce will hush
And bridegrooms will not need to blush
They'll all be safety matches.
A man can never blow his horn:
Loud clothes are made thing of sca.n
And though footpads perchance ad1rn
The pathways more outrageous
The move, however. seems to me, Pc
II borne to its extremity
And thoroughly applied. to be
Both wise and advantageous.

Horrors-GirI in pie.

Philadelphia, March 25.-Citizens
of the eminently respectable and puri-
tanical suburb of frankfort were Civ
NOR spread through the community
that the Suburban Boys Club, an Or
galiZation of youngsters ranging from
IA to IS years OF ge, was Gaping the
climax of it's mischevious career by
duplicating Stanford Whites famous
pie girl" dinner. Mortified parents
turned out in their nighties to search
Gus youngsters, and in response to
a riot call the entire police force of
the suburb Joined in the search. At
last the boys we're found seated
about a table on which was a great
pie that seemed to show manifesto
tons of life beneath it's expansive
crust. Shamed n mortified by such
evidence of d~epravity the defenders
of the towns morals hid their faces
while the policeman, hardened by con
tact with criminals, lifted the lid of
the big pie and drew forth-not an
unashamed artists model, clad in
gauzy draperies, but a little black
..picka1inny. Shouts of laughter from
the assembled youngsters greeted the
denoument and they rolled on the
floor and howled in the ecstacy of
their glee, while the anti-yice crusad-
ers fed into the night with the jeers
of the young hopeful's ringing in their
ears.

A Communication.

"Woodma1, spare that tree" This
came to my mind yesterday when [
saw the trees fallen around the old
school site. A part of these trees |
had set out in the spring of 1890. Not
being familiar with the cottonwood
as | am now, 1 bought whatever they
brought me to set out. They all prov
ed to be cotton-bearing trees, but
have since learned by experience
that there are three kinds of cotton
wood trees. One is the mountain va
riety, which is the earliest to bud
out in the spring. Another is the
White-bark with large buds and red
bloom. The other is the cotton bear
ing kind with a long string of beans
which open and produce cotton. This
variety can easily be distinguished
from the others by the buds, also the
bark of the trees. The buds are very
small, and do lot expand. but make
a long green bloom which resembles
a bunch of green grapes. The park
is rough and dark. So much for the
cottonwood.
Now about the comfort of the trees.
Would it not have cen better to cut
out every alternate tree for the first
year and cave shade for the children
instead of denuding the place as they
have done. There is another thing to
consider. The Did stumps that are
left will absorb all the moisture and
keep the young trees from growing,
unless removed 1t once. 1t is an easy
matter to cut a tree down, but not
so easy to grow another in its place.
The trees might also be topped AID
kept from producing cotton, and in
another eas grow out and give
plenty of shade.

DE TIE III CFIiEEa
Washington, D. c., Mach 23.-Wasn
ington Grand Army men T already
making preparations for attending the
annual encampment, which will be
held at Saratoga Springs during the
week of September g.. One of the
most interesting bits of gossip il con-
nectiOn with h coming convention
is III report that a sOutherner will
be n of the leading candidates for
commander in chief. General John
T. Wilder of Chattanooga, Tenn, the
distinguished leader of the famous
Wilder's brigade, which played a pro-
minent part in the campaign at Chat
tanOoga and Atlanta, is the man re-
ferred to and he has already received
the Endorsement of many southern
posts. General Wilder is a northern
er by birth and first visited the South
as an officers during h Civil war.
He was f~avorably impressed with Ten
lessee that he has since made his
nome in that state and is M of
zens.
Veterans of the capital are favor
ably impressed with the idea of selec-
ting a southern man as the next COM
mander of the Grand Army of the Re
public. believing that it would result
in further cementing the ties that
bind the 1ce disrupted country. Some
of them go farther and declare that
the selection of a southern city as a
place for holding the national en-
campment is not among the impossi-
bilities.
