AN ISLAND IN THE AIR.
the Wonders Of Prehistori'
Pueblo Architecture. =

One of the Wonders Of Prehistoric
Pueblo Architecture. -
Three miles south of the Mesa En-
cantada, in Mexico, is splendid speGss
men Of fantastic erosion-an ''island"
in the air, rock with overhanging
sides nearly 400 feet high, seventy
acres in area on the fairly level top,
indented with countless great bays,
notched with dizzy chasms. The great
er part of the island overhangs the sea
like huge mushroom, and on the top
stands town which for artistic charm,
chronological interest and romantic his
tory has no peer.
This little town Of Ancoma Is one of
the most perfect types of the prehis-
toric Pueblo architecture. Most Of the
houses remain Of the type invented
when every house must be fort. One
climbed ladder to his first roof and
pulled up the ladder at night, iiving
on the second and third floors and
using the ground floor as cellar.
Against enemies armed only with bows
and arrows this was fair defense.
Comfort had to be sacrificed to safety.
Nothing except the eagle sought such
inaccessible eyries as these victims of
their own civilization.
Because they were farmers instead
Of freebooters, because they had homes
instead Of being vagrants, they were
easy to find, and they were the prey Of
"a hundred nomad tribes. With incon-
ceiyable labor this island town in the
air was built and fortified. It was
reached only by mere trail of toe
holes up the stem Of the mushroom. y
The age Of the island Is not known,
except that it was already old in 154O,
when the first explorer visited it and
wrote an account of its wonders.

Swearing in Recruits.

The visit of Major Percy Morton OF
Minneapolis of the Salvation Army
concludes this evening with a rousing
evangelistic service and the swearing
in of several recruits, three of them
boys at the fort. On Wednesday night
the Salvation Army force went to the
fort and held services Major Stead
man welcomed the visitors and at
tended the services, with about 13C
of the boys present. Major Morton
gave powerful address, which was
well received and deeply appreciated
as also were the songs and music
Major Morton is an interesting, force
full speaker. He received his first ap.
pointment in 1885, and has since then
seen service in all parts of the United
States, recently coming from Los An
geles, Cal, and now fills the position
of general secretary for the army
work in four states. We should like
large attendance at the unique
meeting tonight at o'clock.

STOP THE STRENUOUS LIFE
Weakens the Tissues and Lessons o,
ganic Vitality.

The stress and strain of the strenu.
GUS life in both city and country tends
toward stomach troubles. Five peo.
pie suffer today where one did ten
years ago with sick headache, dizzi-
ness, fatulence, distress after eating,
specks before the eyes, bloating, nerv.
BUSINESS, sleeplessness and the many
other symptoms of Indigestion.
All who are suffering with stomach
troubles, and that means at least two
out of every three in Bismarck and
other towns, should use Mi-o-na stom
ach tablets. Nothing else is as safe
yet effective; nothing else can be SO
thoroughly relied upon to relieve all
troubles from indigestion as -.li-o-na.
So reliable is Mi-o-na in its curative
action that the Lenhart Drug Co.
with every so cent box they sell, give
guarantee to refund the money un.
less the remedy cures.

GOT HIS MONEY.
The New Depositor Made Quick Work
With His Check Book.

The New Depositor Made Quick Work
With His Check Book.
During financial stringency a
Swedish farmer in one of the middle
west states had sold some hogs on the
local market and u,n receiving his
check in payment Immediately went to
the local bank to realize on his sale.
Upon presentment Of the check the
banker said to him, do you wish the
money on this check?" !.
ssVell, tank yust SO veil take him."
was the quick reply.
'You really want the money!
'Yah; I tank I take the none
"But do you really need the money!"
asked the banker.
"Vell, no; don't exactly need him,
but tank take the NONE"
"Well," said the banker, "if you real
ly want the money of course will
give it to you, but thought If you
did not need it perhaps you might open
an account and deposit the money and
then check against it as you needed
it."
"Den ven send my shecks here you
viii refuse to pay dem."
"Oh, no, we won't. If you open the
account, we will pay your checks
whenever they come in"
This seemed assuring to the Swede,
and he said, "Vell, If you pays my
shecks, den open de account" And
the account was opened and passbook
and check book handed to the new aus:
toner. y
| Half an hour later close friend of
the new depositor appeared at the
cashiers window and presented a
check signed by his friend for the full
amount of the deposit, which was
promptly paid by the banker without
comment.
In about an hour the Swede appear.
ed and, walking up to the cashiers
window, handed the banker his check
book minus only one check, with the
remark, well; don't tank / needs
him any more."- Youths Companion.
