Though they did not succeed actual. fy in stopping the performance until aIl except the last two numbers of the programme had been sung, the Yale freshmen fairly turned the annual Glee club concert upside down. White mice anugly tucked away in bonbon boxes were lowered from the treatments gal lery into the pit and orchestra of the Hyperion theater. and women, willing ly accepting what they believed to be graceful offerings from admirers, turn ed the little pests loose ou themselves with results that can be imagined much better than they can Ike described.
 Hens tcthercd tu long lines were dropped SquawEing on to the heads of the singers ou the stage. and bottles Of whisky and wine were dangled en- tlc!uG'y before their eyes, but just out Of reach or tho performers. Paper streamers were sent floating in every direction. and when the fimsy cascade was so thick In front of the platform that it was hidden entirely from the view Of those In the rear of the house Fire Marshal Gladwin ordered the cur tain rung down.
 The Glee club refused to acknowl- edge Itself altogether defeated, how ever. and. advancing ID front of the lowered curtain, went through the last two numbers on the programme with a magnificent disregard for the trou- bles that beset them.
 The fire marshal had given full warn. ing that he would stop the perform ancs if the throwing of streamers be- gan, for he made no secret of his fear that the light paper might start ter rible Are if once caught by the Rcci- dental dropping of e match. but he was liberal in the extreme in the interpre. tation of bis own threats and gave the freshmen wide license in their enjoy ment before he finally took R repressive hand.
 The Gles club men struggled bravely and on the whole not unsuccessfully, for far more experienced performers well might have been rattled hopeless ly by the ordeal to which they werR subjected.

The Drs. Lathrop leave today for
Battle Creek, Mich, where they will
become connected with one of the
large sanitariums in that famous
health resort. This step has been
under consideration for some months,
the doctors having a very flattering
offer standing for that length of time,
and 1t was only because of the addf

week that the change Of base was
decided upon.
The doctors express regret at aleav-

an outside practice of no small di.

narck's future in their opinion is
such that only special inducements
would influence them in their deci.

in Bismarck they have made many
warm friends who regret their going
away, but will wish them success

Got His Start In Business.
There, is a prosperous merchant in
Chicago today who owes his success to-
his donation Of $1,000 organ to q
church at time when he didn't have
money enough to buy a hand organ.
This donation was case of bluff pure
and simple, but the bluff worked and
resulted In the subsequent wealth OF
the lucky buffer. s..s.s 17sSS
John Smith was seeking capital to-
start in business for himself, but as he
had no security worth speaking Of he
could not borrow the money he needed.
When he had tried every person he
could think Of who would be likely to
have the necessary cash and the incli-
nation to lend it and had been turned
down, he conceived the idea Of present
ing his church with an organ.
Il Young Napoleon John Smith there
fore ordered his organ and allowed the
future to look out for itself. The man
ufacturers Of the organ never thought
Of questioning the financial standing
Of the pIlilanthropist who was handing
out 5000 organs and agreed to have
the instrument set up in the church on
time.
OF course j. Smith was not bud
that was born to blush unseen, nor did
he hide his beneficence under bushel.
He managed to bring in at least the
flute stops no matter what the subject
Of conversation. Not only did the
young Napoleon advertise himself by
means Of the church organ, but the
pleased minister and the equally pleas
ed congregation spread the news of his
gift.
During this time John did not allow
any alfalfa to grow under his feet. On
the pretense Of consulting some
wealthy member Of the congregation
about some minor details of the organ
he would drop into an Office and be-
fore he left casually would mention the
subject Of the company that he was
forming. Most Of the men that he thus
saw thought that it would be good
thing to be associated with man who
was making SO much money that he
was able to hand out $1,000 without
missing 1t, SO that all were anxious to
take stock in J. Smiths company.
Long before the time came for the
first payment on the organ Smith had
gathered enough money to start his
business and was doing SO well he had
no difficulty in borrowing the amount
needed to make the payment From
that time he has made money so fast
that now he could give away several
5000 organs and pay for them as

Two young men who have had great
deal to do with starting the new coun-
ty of Hettinger on its career, Auditor
Robert Beery and States Attorney
Geo. H. Stone. are in the city on bus
mess. 1t is said by those who know
that the excellent condition of Het.
finger county is due largely to the ef-
forts of these young men, though they
are modest and do not claim any
more credit in the matter than their.
share. They are hustlers, howevers
and keep up their end. Their con-
stituents evidently appreciate their
services, for they nominated them for
the offices to which Governor Burke
appointed them on the organization
of the county, and this in Hettinger
county is equivalent to an election.

Presidents Son Kermit Tells of Trip
Into African Wilds.
President Roosevelt received the
other day at Sycamore Hill, his home
at Oyster Bay, N. Y, s. S. Mcclure
representing the Mcclure publications,
and Caspar Whitney, editor of Outing.
These, like many other editors and
publishers, are eager to make contracts
with the president for stories of the
big game hunt he will start immedi-
ateiy his administration Of the affairs
Of the republic closes. 5
Mr.. Roosevelt has received offers
from every part Of the country and
some foreign offers for his own story
Of his hunt in Africa, and competition
for his writings about this plunge into
the wild has become SO keen that it has
been said that he could close contracts
which would make Rudyard Kipling
seem mere penny liner and cause
Thackeray. Dickens and some others to
turn In their graves.
No contract was closed, however, de-
spite the visit and the entertainment
Of Messrs. Mcclure and Whitney.
Kermit Roosevelt, now youth OF
twenty of a serious bent of mind, said
that he would accompany his father In
the African hunt With two big grips
he ambled from d buck board driven by
the presidents coachman, Joe Wash
ington, across the station at Oyster
Bay to the 6:15 train. In the smoker
he rammed a snub nosed pipe full Of
tobacco, pushed back the front Of his
panama and settled down to steady
comfort

can hunt, he said to a New York
