Yand Crabs.

Crabs are generally supposed to live
In the ocean, but there Is one species
that lives on the land. It is found on
the island Of Jamaica, in the West In
dies. 1t burrows In the sand some
times two or three miles from the sea.
1t has two long claws. In attacking an
enemy 1t binds it with one claw. which
Is then thrown OF, and then continues
the fight with the free claw. The
crabs stay in the ground during the
day and hunt for their food at night.
They visit the ocean once a year to lay
their eggs. They travel by night, when
they are caught in great numbers.

that given by a parent to Harold

SMALL | STOCK LOSSES
G. r. WANfiAMAcHER, a WELL
KNOWN sTockMAN IN THE
COUNTRY
ABOUT DICKINSON, MAKES THE
FOLLOWING STATEMENT RE-
GARDlNG STOCK LOSSES

DICKINSON PreSS Having Just re-
turned from a two weeks stay at the
Spring Creek Live Stock company's
ranches near sFayette aud Oakdale, it IS
natural that / should be asked concern
ing everything in that 2art OF the coun-
try I found the snow bad enough but
not nearly as bad as cu,:lnlvniy reported
on the streets Of Dickinson. The high
wind during the night of the 23d and on
the Oath did the country a great deal of
good, as it piled the snow in large drifts
and piles, almost baring-the hilltops and
the sides Of hills. Thus horses have
good grazing, and strong sheep can also
be grazed with advantage While cattle
require to be fed full rations of hay, yet
the prospects are that strong cattle can
be made to trussle for a good portion Of
their feed from now on till spring opens.
4 A few are trying to Craze some of their
cattle now, but with what success I am
not able to say. # the winter from now
on is not any severer than it has been
and breaks up by April LIST, I do not
look for any serious loss in cattle and
sheep in the territory tributary to Dick
inson. There is more hay than common
i in the country OF course some stock
men will always have heavy losses, and
this we must expect this winter also.
The per cent Of loss will naturally Be
according to the winter.
The Montana sheep and attlemen are
not faring as well as we Dakota stock
men on account of lack Of hay and much
snow north Of the N. P. railroad There
the losses may be quite heavy The
southeastern part Of Montana has also
plenty Of snow, but everything there is
more favorable for grazing. besides the
stockmen have hay to fall back on
AS to the sheep / am personally in
terested in, some 900 head, we have
thus far, since October last, lost less
than per cent. This includes what we
killed for mutton and what were killed
BY wolves. Our sheep at Fayette are
today in better flesh than last Christmas
when Mr.. Krusee took charge Of them.
We have plenty of feed for them. Our
sheep south Of Wibaux are also in good
shape, considering the weather. AS TO
the cattle ] am interested in, we have
enough hay to carry them through.
That we bought some hay early in the
winter or fall was a part Of our plans
in running our stock for the winter; ];
and not being caught with 4 herd and no
hay, we have had no heavy losses, as
some good friends have circulated. Our.
losses have thus far been very light
and I wish all stockrnen the Same good
luck. 84ss

MEXICAN BULL
BATTLE ROYAL. WAS WITNESSED
BY IMMENSE CROWD At
EL PASO

the ring, followers Of bull fights were
treated to a battle royal between a
North Dakota buffalo and vicious
bull from Durango, Meyico. fighting
stock today. For a half-hour honors
between the animals were even, and
then the bull snlkily retired tot he side
Of the ring and refused to proceed
with the fight. The buffalo indicated
he had enough and did not press the
advantage he was gaining as the strug-
gle drew toward its close. S.s
It was the largest crowd that ever
attended an event In the arena Of
Juarez, across the Rio Grande from Ell
Paso. The novel event had been well
advertised, and there was great dis
appointment that blood did not flow
more freely, although there was plenty
Of excitement while the fight was on.
The buffalo was the first gladiator in
the arena. He stood paving the
ground and throwing up great clouds
Of dust until the bull was turned in to
engage him. Roaring like a full
menagerie and foaming at the mouth,
the buffalo primed himself for a sec
ond, and then made a rush for his
quarry. fhe bull started forward at
the same instant. The two came to-
gether with crash that could be
heard for blocks.
Following the impact the buffalo fell
back dazed and was aroused BY q
plead or, who hurried up and prodded
him with a pole. Enraged at the in.
reference, the bison turned from the
bull and tore after his human torment
or. He caught the picador on the
point Of one Of his horns, just as the
man fell behind a guard It was a.
crucial moment, but the picador
escaped unframed.
Then the battle Of the beasts was
renewed. They came together sec
ond time and locked horns. Then.
each played for an opening to gore his
opponent. Unable to land on a vital.
spot, the bul1 again crashed into the.
head Of the buffalo. and staggered
him. There followed a fast and furi.
GUS skirmish, the buffalo having the
advantage. but unable to make the
supreme slunge.
To the disgust Of the cheering thous-
8ands the bull backed on after this
round and ran away like whipped
cur. He was believing like spoiled
child. The buffalo plowed the dust
wuth his hoofs for q minute Id defiant
attitude, and then concluded he was
yindicated and had enough. The fight
was declared q draw, but the 10000
spectators were unanimous Id declar.
ing the North Dakota beast the victor.

Her Very Good Reason,

The two wives were discussing the
pecuniary peculiarities of their respec-
tive husbands, and they conceded with
great unanimlty until they reached the
point of their own relation to the purse
strings.
"My husband never gives me q penny
unless he growls about my extrava-
gance," said one.
"Mine does the same thing" attested
the other.
But 1 get even with him." And her
face showed the color of satisfaction.
"How do you ever do 1T?
II go through his trousers pockets
when he's asleep"
Goodness l.acious" exclaimed the
other. II wouldn't do that for any
thing
"Why not? Haven't we a right to
the money as well as they have"
Eyes, but 1 wouldn't go through my
husbands trousers pockets for it."
I'D like to know why?" said the
first, quite indignant at the apparent
reproof.
Because" blushed the other, "he
carries his money in his waistcoat
pocket."-Pearson's Weekly.

When Banks Are Bitten.

Speaking Of bad checks" said the

you believe for a moment that most
Of the expert forgers are behind bars
or frightened into inactivity. The dis
tinguished professionals-those accus-
toned to play for a fortune Mt a sim
gle throw-are pretty well In hand, but
there are others.
"As n matter Of fact, the public
would be surprised to learn how many
bogus checks, perfectly executed, get
past the bank officials every week in
this city,"
Don't see many Of 'em in the police
court cases." a listener suggested.
"Of course not. Most Of the checks
are for small amounts and are made
good by the bank officers. Why? Well,
because it does a bank no especial good
to have it known that forged checks
can pass through Its windows. So the
matter is hushed up. Even when a
man is caught in the act he is often
allowed to go free II he is merely an
agent and will tell who his principal is.
It's business policy."-New York Globe.

year in September some important

changes in the college course will go
into effect says the Brookings Reg
lister. A year will be added to the
electrical, civil and mechanical cour-
ses, and graduates therefrom will
receive a degree. The preparatory
and sub-freshman courses will be
dispensed with and instead a three
year preparatory course will be in
effect. The addition of a year to
the preparatory course will of course.
raise the standard of the regular
four year course. Another change
of some note is the dividing of the
college year into semesters instead
of three terms. as has been the case
for years. The first semester will
end about the 18th of February.an
the second semester will begin at
once without any vacation. The va
