A year or so ago an American stu.

side the story of Mark Twain about the
man who lived all his life in a chronic

when the undertaken, opening the door
of the oven to see whether incineration
was complete, was appalled, to hear the
corpse speak out and request him to-
close the door and shut of the draft.
The American sprung the joke as eff

A Walsh Sermon.

The Welsh are noted for their fond

A similar enthusiasm greets the
Welsh preacher who is eloquent III

Hats That Improve with Age.

"a silk hat, like wine. improves with
age" said a clubman. THE oftener
you have 1t ironed the sleeker and
more brilliant it becomes. 1t costs a
good deal at the outset, but in the end
1t is the cheapest hat to wear. It lasts,
you see, SO long, and to iron it costs
so little. Some folks think the topper
very perishab BILE. If it gets soaked with
rain, il some one sits on it and crush
es it into an accordion, they, think 1t
must be thrown away the same as IL
1t were a derby. But not at all. A
silk hat can be taken apart and put
together again like watch, and il 1t
gets crushed nothing is easier than to
melt of the silk, straighten out the
frame and then put on the silk again.
In England, the home of this hat. I
have known men to wear the same
topper for ten or twelve years. And
the oftener the old hat is ironed the
brighter and finer it shines. It's luster'
increases with time and friction like
the luster of good antique furniture"

Power Of Fallinu Water.

1t Is perfectly well known to every
one that water constantly dropping
upon stone will wear 1t away, and
there is a trite old proverb regarding
this fact. The force OF single drop Of
water falling from a height Is not
great, but the results OF this tiny blow
when it is many times repeated are
astounding. There Is a story Of one
poor wretch who was bound with his
back to a stone wall and had a stream
Of water ''of the. bigness Of a mans
finger directed on to his bare head,
the water falling from a height Of
about eighteen feet. The receptacle
from which this apparently harmless
stream trickled was barrel holding
only twenty gallons, but before the
water had more than half run out the
man was dead, with hole in his skull
which exposed the Popular Me-
chanics.

The Raven /,

Many birds seek the protection which
the presence of man affords against
furred and feathered foes when the
breeding season approaches. Not so
the raven. Its distrust of us is pro-
found, and its nest is placed in some
wild spot far out of reach of our pos
sible attack or succor. But there are
other enemies. I know of pair that
built ON the side of projecting crag
high up on the cliffs Of Rathline island.
Some fierce peregrine falcons occupied
the other side of the crag, and when
one day their eggs were taken by an
adventurous collector they, sharing the
popular opinion Of a ravens bIackness,
concluded that their neighbors We're
the offenders and wreaked their grief
and vengeance upon them. When, on
their return from foraging expedi-
ton, the falcons found their nest de-
spoiled they Were seen to hold a con-
sultation, and after much deliberation
they suddenly arose and both in one
accord few at the ravens nest and
sacked it, tearing it in their rage and
indignation until not one stick was left
upon another.-London Standard.

It was in ancient Egypt that the story
Of Cinderella originated. Moderns,
however. owe the familiar nursery
story directly to the Frenchman,
Charles Perrault. whose .Cindrillon"
appeared at the end Of the seventeenth
century. Perrault took his Cinderella
from earlier versions, which came no
doubt from the story of Rhodopis' bath.
That Egyptian beauty had prepared to
battle when an eagle swooped on one
Of her slippers, carried 1t to Memphis
and dropped 1t on the lap of King
Psammetichus as he sat administering
justice. He admired It, had Egypt
searched for its owner, married her and
lived happy ever after. 5s5

The Sum. the Moon and the Tides.

The Sun,-t Moon and the Tides.
Most persons suppose that the moon
alone is responsible for the phenome-
non of tides, but the attraction Of the
sun Is also an Important factor. OF
course the distance of the sun from the
earth is unthinkably greater than that
Of the moon, but it's mass is SO enor-
nous that it has a considerable tide pro-
ducing influence. The force which the
sun exerts is the same on both sides of
the earth at the same time, the tide
producing force of the great orb being
about four-tenths that Of the moon. at
the time of both new and full moons
the ''wane spheroids produced by both
the sun and the moon have their axes
coineident" that is to say, the two
great orbs unite their energies on the
fluids of our planet, and as a result the
tides are higher than the average for
the remaining portions Of the month.
These are the "spring tides The
t'neap tides come in the time Of the
moons first and third quarter and are
not as great as the average, because
the moon and the sun are each working
in opposition to the other. AZ.

LIVELY GROWTH
OF new PRAIRIE
town OF LENNON

w. r. Edwards writes the Fargo
Forum thus of the new Milwaukee
town just over the line from Hetting-
er: 49,
We all remember the stories of the
early days in Fargo when f'she was
a frontier town. and should you visit
Lennon, S. D., this date, you would
be reminded of the early history of
the Gateway City. "a. w. x
But it will soon be over. What was
a prairie on May 1, is now a busy city
of sixty business houses, of which FIVE
are lumber yards, six lodging houses,
six restaurants, five saloons, three
feed and livery stables, three general
stores, two barber shops, drug stors,
hardware, lawyers. doctors, but no
school or church buildings. ,
Still the present city is temporary.
Every building will soon be raised to
the ground, or moved to the townsite
proper, which is now being surveyed
by a Milwaukee road crew, of whom
an old friend and school mate, is a
member.
The grade contractors for the new
c. M. & st. P. railway are through
with their work in these parts. The
bridge builders are at work within a
mile of Lennon, constructing trest-
les over coulies and draws. The steel
laying crews are but six miles east
of Lennon today and coming west
at he rate of two miles a day, which
means by September 20, Lennon
town may be reached by rail and will
be frontier no longer.
+ Soon after this the sale of town lots
Will occur by auction and new town
will spring up. 1t is said that two
years ago the townsite land had no
value, that now surrounding country
is selling at SIS per acre, that Lem
mon business men are figuring on
paying as high as $40 per acre for
that portion of an acre each will need.
However, not all lots will bring such
prices, but the speculator will be on
the ground and the day of the sale
will be an event of great moment.
New settlers are somewhat confus-
ed as to the coal land laws and al
most without exception they refused
to mention the fact that they may
have coal on their particular quarter.
This fact renders, we who have no
Ignite on our lands, at the mercy Of
the few developed mines. These are
anywhere from eighteen to twenty.
five miles from Lennon making ton
cost $500 including charge of $15O
at the mine. A great many settlers
with teams are making their $500 TO
$500 a day hauling coal. However,
this summer learned something
new. People without coal and with
no means of buying it, burn prairie
chips. Cow and horse manure, baked
hard in the sun make clean, hot fuel
and it is simply marvellous how mum
| erous these chips are People gather
| them in sacks, bushel weighing

Mrs. Chesney sighed. Some of the

ly submitted to his demands. She did
want Drucie to see a circus, though.

Silas wheeled angrily to confront the
last speaker. 1t was all very well that
Jim Peters. his hired man, should
worship Drucilla. Silas paid Jim 81
month less than the prevailing wage
ON that very account. To pay her
open court was another and very diff
ferent matter. Silas had decided that
Drucie was to marry Hank Festis.
Hank was a little old (about sixty,
but he had II fine farm adjoining the
Chesney place. and the match was an
ideal one from the fathers point of
view.

coldly. IF Drucie wants to come she

Sias as he stumped out of the kitch-
en-. That settled it so far as he was
concerned. He did not even trouble 10
stay home on circus day to see that
his commands were carried out. He
was accustomed to being obeyed. That
there could be defiance of his wishes
was thing not to be dreamed of. He
had business at Center Mills, and he
drove off early in the morning with n
final negative to the fearful Drucilla's
appeals.
Jim watched him drive off, and
when at last the gray team dlsap-
peared over the hill he came toward
the house. Martha Chesney was bus.

MAGIC OF THE BASS.
Memories of the Battle That Lineer
With the Angler.

"The Indians call 1t Media Mon-nuh-
she-gan.' which translated means mag
ic bass. He Is said to be much like
other black bass in appearance. But
his peculiar attributes are these:
He must be caught by casting. with
a surface bait, SO that you can see him
rise to 1t. He may be taken in running
water where the clear current foams
over messy powders and through CUR.
Cling. sunlit shadows or in the silent
pools where the forest hangs darkly
over the stream. He may be taken at
some still lakes grassy marge. where
the water lilies build him a green and
white and golden canopy, or In the
open places when the west winds
magic turns the CLASSY surface into
silver.
But wherever you find him you will
see that nature rules supreme And
whether in brawling stream or quiet
pool In some peaceful lilied bay or just
beneath the rippled broad expanse
where the wild beauty of the spot
makes your heart beat faster, here
may you find the magic bass
"And this is his magic: That when
you have fought him inch by inch and
have looked upon him as he lay ex-
hausted in your landing net you are
his forever. For wherever you go and
whatever you do there will come to
you ever and often dream of his first
leap into the air, of the tugging line
and Of his body Mt your feet. and indis:
tinct behind it all lie the sparkling wa
ter and the forest and the blue sky.
"In the dead of winter you will of
sudden hear the soft splash of the bass
rising to your fly, you will feel the sud.
den tautness OF the line. and the snow
outside your window will melt into a
summer landscape. When you are
busiest there will come to you the song
of the reel and the smell OF pine and
fr and balsam. That is the magic.
of the Media Mon-nuh- she -gan."-Out.
