In the interior of Africa grows a
tree from which a good quality of but

American oak, and its fruit. from
which the butter is derived, resembles
the olive One English traveller of

from the tree was superior to any
made in England from cows milk.

The $50 egg hen is clearly a pervcr-
sion of the purpose Of Dame Nature
who doubtless originally intended that
old Biddy should lay just about enough
eggs to perpetuate her kind. Yet this
perverted standard is one that the en-

One Of natures strange creations is
the vegetable tallow tree which grows
near the Cape of Good Hope, in the
Azores, as well as in Sumatra, Al.
geria and China. The tree is Of small!
size. and it is from its berries that
the oil is extracted from which the
tallow is made. The berries are gath
cred in November and December after
the trees have fallen.

HIS FIRST THOUGHT.
President Mckinleys Devotion to His
Invalid Wife,

President Mckinleys Devotion TO His
Invalid Wife.
In the early days of the Spanish war
Mr.. Mckinley and Mark Hanna were
engaged III close and serious evening
conference in the presidents room.
The time ran along to the hour of 8.
Suddenly those busy in the outer room
saw President Mckinley rise and leave
the apartment, saying, "Wait a few mo-
ments. Mark" He was gone about
twenty minutes. In the meantime Sen
ator Hanna walked restlessly between
the two rooms, speaking word or two
to the secretaries and showing plainly
that he shared with the president
feeling of deep anxiety as to the out
come Of the military proceedings. He
remarked on the fact of great shortage
of supplies and from his words and
bearing revealed to the assembled few
in that outer room that the president
and his closest advisers were lying
awake nights and workes to make up
for the deficiencies of The military stu
alton.
When the president returned he and
Senator Hanna resumed their anxious
consultation. Then the presidents Sec
rotary remarked to one who was near
him:
IT suppose you wonder why Presf-
dent Mckinley got up so suddenly and
left without word to any one. You
saw how anxious he was about the
military situation. Even that would
not cause him to break away from
what has come to be the custom Of his
early evening.
"About the same time every night,
when he hears signal from the other
side, he knows that Mrs. Mckinley is
ready to retire and wishes to see him.
No matter how busy he may be nor
how deeply engaged in any subject, he
invariably drops everything on the in
slant and goes to their own apart
ments. There he sits by the bedside
and reads chapter in the Bible to
Mrs. Mckinley. Then he waits a few
moments until she is quiet, tiptoes back
to the door, comes over here to the Of
flee and without word takes up the
thread of his work and keeps it up un-
til toward midnight" Chicago Trib.

new Land OFFICE
BLANK FOR SALE
Of ISOLATED LANDS

, > 4 g t T. l. ~ & .#rl=l
Another change has been made by
the land department in the manner
of making application for sale of iso-
lated or disconnected tracts fland.
Until the goth inst. parties making ap-
plication to have isolated tracts ad-
vertised and sold were obliged to ap-
pear in person with two witnesses
before the U. s.. land Office. Now this
is changed and parties may appear
before the nearest officer having seal
and authorized to administer oaths
in the county or land district in
which the tracts described in the ap-
plications are situated.
The Bismarck Tribune has just put
in a stock of the blanks required in
making application for sale of isolat-
ed tracts (No. 643) printed as re.
quired by the government correct
as to size, type, form, spacing, ETC.
the price, 35c per dozen.
AS there will be many applications
made hereafter, all lawyers, clerks OF
court, u s. commissioners and others
engaged in land Office practice will
need quantity and-the right kind
which can be had of the Bismarck
Tribune.

bennett a FIickertail

The following from the New York
Sun came under the eagle eye Of
Charley Gurley of Washington who
sends the paper to the Tribune. It
explains itself:
To the Editor of The Sun-Sir: /
was amazed at what must have been
typographical error in The Sun
last week 1t was Washington dis
patch announcing that Fred bennett
of Milton, Md had been appointed
commissioner Of the general land Of
fee. And my amazemst has grown
that no Flickertail has stepped forth
to challenge the statement and correct
the error.
OF course the reference was to Mil
ton, N. D. For Fred is undoubtedly
a Flickertail. True he was not born
in North Dakota; few of us were. But
he was wise enough to escape from
the bondage of the British Isles at an
early age and proceeded at once to
the land of promise, North Dakota,
where the flickertail, second cou-
sin or perhaps brother of the gopher,
makes the days Of summer bright to
every prairie lover. There Fred ed
tied the Milton Globe, encouraged the
baseball team and sang tenor in the
Presbyterian choir. In Washington
he pursued his musical bent in an
Episcopal church, but I have not
heard that he attempted the hercule-
an task of roting for the decadent
baseball team of that village and his
editorial labors were confined to the
senate committee on public lands of
which he was clerk when I knew
him.
Later Fred went out to the state Of
Washington and was brought back
with Ballinger, into whose shoes he
now steps. But he must be credited
| to North Dakota, the state where a
nan who owns less than a section of
land is looked down upon by his neigh.
bcrs and where opulence is so general
that any one who does not spend the
winters or summers in Europe or the
| further west is rare bird.

Sherman Newcomer Dead

Mondays Minneapolis Tribune has
a full length picture of Capt. Sher-
man H Newcomer in army uniform
and under it is the wording, which is
the only information obtainable on
the subject of his death: ssMr. New
conner died at 2O12 Sixteenth avenue
south and his body was taken to Or
vile, O., for interrment." This is the
first intimation that his Bismarck
sfriends have of his death and it is
regretted that some particulars of the
sad event are not obtainable. Cap
tain Newcomer volunteered for the
Spanish-American was as a lieuten-
ant of Company A of this city and
came home with a good record. He
was generally liked by the men under
him and until he left the city was
popular with all the old friends. At
ter his return from the Philippines he
was eletced captain of Company A,
but resigned after a years service.
He left the city about year ago and
settled in Minneapolis.

FLEET ANIMALS.
The Wonderful Speed Developed by the
GREYHOUND.

Tho Wonderful Speed Developed by the
Greyhound.
Representations Of the greyhound APP
pear upon sculptures over 5000 years
old. There is no doubt that 1t Is one
Of the very oldest fixed types Of dog
and the most universal in its distribu-
ton. India, Arabia, Persia, are among
the countries that for ages past had
the greyhound. Lately there, was ex-
hibited in England greyhound from
Afghanistan-a shaggy form suited to:
that mountain land. OF course these
dogs are not all exactly greyhounds in
the western sense, but they are essen
tally the same in type; they are s'gaze-
hounds" long legged, light built dogs
bred to run their game by sight and
not by scent and to overtake it not by
wearing it down, but by sheer speed
and skill of running. How this type
was evolved affords much interesting
speculation.
"a greyhound is probably the fastest
creature that moves upon the earth"
says breeder Of those animals. 1T
is on record that a greyhound beat the
famous race horse Flying Childers. An
absolute trial between horse and grey
hound is difficult to bring off, because,
while the horse can be ridden at top
speed, it is impossible to insure that
the greyhound will run all he can
But dog that can start, say, fifty
yards behind hare and overtake It
withM another fifty, and this is about
what a greyhound does, must surely
be faster than anything else that lives
or has his parallel only among the
BIRDS"
The same writer says of greyhound
coursing: zone used to hear that 1t
was a 'pothouse,' not 'gentleman's'
sport. But have heard men who fol-
low both declare that they prefer
| coursing to racing, and can quite IN
| derstand it. In coursing there is the
absolute certainty that all is above
| suspicion of anything shady Every
| time dog is run he is honestly run
to win or divide the stakes. You can
not pull a greyhound" Chicago

The New Cooks May.

A new cook was in the kitchen, and
the mistress was trying to be pleased
with the way she served dinner. The
salad was especially unappetizing,
with large, coarse green lettuce leaves
instead of the crisp white little hearts
the family was accustomed to.
esWhat did you do to the lettuce?"
mildly inquired the lady Of the house
after dinner.
"Sure, l washed it all good" replied
the new cook.
''But the small white part?" persist
ed the mistress.
.Oh, the core, ye mean. threw it
away, of course" New York Press.

NEW YORK FASHIONS
Pattern For Seven Gored Skirt Designed by
May 1anton-No. 5816.

Tunic effects unquestionably are to
make a notable feature Of the season,
and such skirt as this one will find
a great many uses. 1t is graceful, takes
long and beautiful lines and can be trim
med to give the tunic or shawl suggestion
very easily. Such trimming, however, Is
not obligatory, for the skirt without is
equally in style and is always charmingly
graceful. Used in this way 1t can be
trimmed with landings or any other APP
piled trimmings, put on after any pre-
ferred design. Straight rows of double
folds or nuns tucks are much liked and
are pretty headed with rows Of soutache
or even the plain hem Of the material, or
an applied fold or band of one heavier
than the material is much liked. for skirts
Of many sorts and styles will be worn
throughout the entire season.
The skirt Is cut in seven cores and 10
laid in tucks over the hips that are
stitched fiat to do away with bulk at that
point. The folds are arranged over 1t on
indicated lines, and the closing is made
invisibly at the back.
The quantity of material required for
the medium size is 9A yards q, 5h yards
