A DAKOTA CELEBRATION.

We fear that there is not as much
interest in North Dakota as there
might bein the forthcoming celebra-
ton to be held in Aberdeen during
Homecoming Week. This is part
Of week, set apart at least to the
return Of the old timers of Dakota
who haev drifted from their old
moorings, and to the congregation
of old settlers of the two states for
the purpose of renewing old ac-
quaintance, and organizing perma-
nent old settlers associations 1of the
two states. The program for the &C.
LIBERATION covers three days, June Is,
II and 10. Governor Burke of North
Dakota is down for an address on
the opening day, as is Governor Yes
sey of South Dakota, and Doane Rob
1nson, the we'll known South Dakota
historian. An elaborate program of
sports and entertainment has been
provided.
Committees have also been named
to have charge Of permanent old set.
tiers associations for the two states.

cludes Judge LaMoure, NJ. H. Jewell,

THE INFLUENCE OF THE PIeeER

Notwithstanding the purely mer
cenary motives of the blind pigger,
regardless of the fact the he is most
undesirable and useless member of
society; Notwithstanding the fact that
he is simply leech upon the COM
manipulating from it the means
that might profltably be expended in
worthier causes; Notwithstanding the
fact that he is an outlaw, self con-
fessed criminal who has no moral
standing and who builds up nothing of
enduring benef1t-the cringing, cow
ardly, risky nature of the business
forbidding him from becoming a per-
manent. fixture contributing even in
the most remote degree to the welfare
Of the community; Notwithstanding
the well known motive of the pigger-
to get the doalar-he seems to exert
a mighty influence over the average
citizen.
What does the citizen owe the pig
ger! The man who deliberately de-
hes the law for the, porflt there is in
it-and it is reported that the sched-
ule of prices usually insures good
prohts-takes chances that % good
citizen would take, and is entitled to
but little sympathy, much less the
committing Of perjury on the part Of
the patron Of the pigger's dive. And
yet when it comes to the trial of one
Of these men-the giving Of testimony
as to the nature of the nuisance
maintained and the goods vended-
What woeful lack of memory, what
. pftible mixup Of dates, what spec
tacle some people will make Of them
selves In their efforts to screen the
guilty. What an insult to the court,
what belittleing of ones self In the
estimation of every other citizen who
has self respect. 1t is possible that
these conditions argue against the
present system of regulating the uq-
nor curse but in any event the citizen
who deliberately makes an ass Of
himself from choice, is as bad as he
who is naive by nature and breed

The culinary department OF an East
indian household, IL the story OF IN
American traveller who has recently ~
surned from Calcutta Is to be believed.
Is managed far differently from an
American kitchen. Here we employ
an Ethiopian expert at So much a
week." says the Philadelphia Record.
There a cook would disdain to place
q weekly valuation on his services.
His conditions involve fat rate Of so
many shillings weekly for the furnish
ting and preparation of provisions. This
system Of putting the culinary depart
ment out to contract causes penuri-
BUSINESS on the part Of the chef which
frequently is not for the best health
and welfare of the household. Short
ly before last Christmas the above
named American tourist had ordered
his cook to have steak for dinner.
Broiled chicken was served instead.
Pressed for his reasons for disregard
ing the command of the head of the
household, the cook explained that the
chicken had taken sick and If it had
not been killed and served that day he
was afraid he would have lost it."

German Way Of Serving Asparagus.
when living in Germany we noticed
that the asparagus served there was
unusually tender and Of a much more
delicate favor than that which we got
in America. We learned that the Ger
mana do not consider asparagus nt 70

from each stalk before cooking. This
sounds like slow work, but If sharp
knife is used it can be done quite rap

VA. cleopatra Beautiful

Archaeologists have discovered On
coins portraits Of Cleopatra. and critics
have confronted these portraits with
the poetic descriptions Of Cleopatra
given by Roman historians and have
found that in these descriptions there
was at least much fancy. In the por.
traits we do not see the countenance
Of a Venus, delicate, gracious, smiling,
nor even the fine and sensuous beauty
Of a Marquise de Pompadour, but a
face deshy and, as the French would
say, :'boufie," with powerful aquiline
nose-the face of a woman on in years,
ambitious, imperious, which recalls the
face Of Maria Theresa. It viii be said
that judgments on beauty are person
al: that Antony, who saw her alive,
could Judge better than we who see
her portraits half faded out by the
centuries; that the attractive power Of
a woman emanates not only from cor
poreal beauty. but also. and yet more.
from her spirit. The taste Of Cleopa-
ira, her vivacity, her cleverness.4 her

CONGRESSIONAL FREAKS.

The freak bill was once legisla-
tive curiosity, and it is only recently
that it has become @ thing of note
in congress. 1t is not improbable that
1t will stick for some time, now that
1t has forced itself into the legisla-
tive halls of the nation.
Representative Sheppard Of Texas,
though not entirely new to Washing
ton, is yet in the freshman class. He
leaped out of a dense obscurity the
other day by introducing forty-eight
bills in lump. among them one to
alter the preamble Of the constitution,
another to erect q monument to
George Washington's mother, and a
third to call a national prohibition
congress. There Is Edwards OF Ken
lucky, who nearly caused his fellow
congressman to faint away by pro-
posing the reduction Of salaries from
$500 to $4,000.
Since the appearance of these meas
ures it is suggested that a bill naming
universal sizes for waste baskets,
shoes and omnfbuses or one making
the use of chewing gum in the District
of Columbia a misdemeanor, ought to
appeal to some new conner in congress.
Anything to draw attention to ones
self whether it is wise or unwise is
a growing habit.

uNslcHTLY LOTS.

Among the leper spots Of every city
are the unsightly lots which are usu-
ally fronted by a line of bill boards
and strewn with old tin cans. ferment-
ing food and animal matter. pol
soning the atmosphere for blocks.
There are only a few such spots in
Norwich, but these few ought to be
cleaned and put in a healthful condi-
ton. These spots with merry widow
front and death dealing hebind are
a disgrace to any city. The New Ha-
ven Journal-Courier says:
Last years cleanup week saw the
doing away with any number of I'M
slightly lots shout the city. Few II
any of these lots have since then de-
generated back to their former condi-
ton. This weeks cleanup should see
the abolishment Of those few lots
which stir remain. All that is needed
is a little cooperation among the pub
lilo spirited citizens. The chief of po-
lice has pleased all by the hearty man
ner in which he has given his support
to the movement for a cleaner city by
instructing his men to be especially on
the alert this week in that regard"
This is what ~ needed-publie in
terest, individual resolution, cordial
cooperation. No city needs NTH
catchers or shop holes or disease
breeders Every city should see that
health laws are enforced and pure at
mosphere Is maintained.

The OLD BALANCE.

There was never tariff any more
successful or upon the whole satisfac-
terry as O. revenue producer than the
Dlngley tariff up to the time that
national folly and extravaganza made
It inadequate to meet the public re-
quiremants. The nation is building a
great canal and has great island ex-
penses IN consequence Of the Spanish
war, and 1t is probable that with a
little curtailment of expenses and A
few corrections Of the tariff the old
and satisfactory financial balance
might have been restored. It is a
mistake to make a new tariff to meet
our extraordinary expenses. 1t is be-
Ing said for truth that the senate
and the house should take counsel of
the retired secretary Of commerce. and
labor. the present secretary of the
treasury, or some other man that has
had the training Of running a large
business without the help of an ad-
visory council Of 500 They would
pick up few points. It doesn't seem
necessary to tax the people to death
TO meet a temporary exigency. We
may drive enterprises 10 success, but
not by driving the people to distrac-
ton on account Of excessive taxes.

THE BULLETINS DAILY STORY
MAPLE SYRUP.

Il was reading this morning" said
Mrs. Schoonerby to her husband, that
March Is the usual time for farmers
to go out among the syrup trees to
make maple syrup"
THAT so?'' Schoonerby grunted
YES. 1t was so interesting.

what kind of tree they make the maple
syrp~ out Of You don't happen To
know, do you. dear?'
'Hemlcck," said Schoonerby. with
out looking up from his paper.
"Oh, thank you'll" cried his delighted
wife. II did so want to know. and
thought Il was so stupid Of the paper
not to mention the kind Of tree. But
the article was delightfully."- interest
ing. 1t said that when the frost comes
out of the tree at night and ascends
the trunk the stirring life in nature
causes the sap to flow freely all
around. II was such vivid descrip-
ton. It went on to say that the
farmer built a fire and put large iron
pot on TO boil in, with a CHEEKY blaze
under It. Then he went in search of a
sapling tree to get his sap"
POT still boiling?" asked Schooner
by.
"Of course dear. The idea was,
suppose, to have 1t nice and warm by
the time the sap arrived Then the
next thing was to make a notch with
an ak and then. think. he gets
spile,-yes, that was the word, spile-
and drives 1t into the sapling. TNen
the farmer gets trough that ne
makes out of wood and sets the trough
against the sapling under the notch he
made for the spile."
Hold on, will you, till l catch up!"
said Schoonerby.

mt you like to 60 down east TINS
spring and watch them 'sugaring off,
as they so quantity call their work."
IF the work is half as interesting
or quaint as your description Of it, I'd
like to see them at the game" said
Schoonerby. But you don't have to
go down east to see them make syrup
They make maple syrup right here at
your door, or at least they used TO
before the pure food law got strong.
And they didn't go outside their home
boots were great help to the manu-
facturerers of maple syrup. They
! used the rubber to give the maple ma
vor which is so much sought after"
But what did they make the syrup
out of then?" asked Mrs. Schoonerby,
hemlock trees in Chicago. are there?"
Don't need trees Of any sort, an
swered Schoonerby, shortly. Trees
are a nuisance = take up too much
room. There's sweetness in every
thing, except bagpipe music, and the
syrupmakers just went out and gar
nered everything that was lying around
loose-burdock leaves from vacant
lots, twigs from willow and cotton
weed trees. old horse collars-any-
thing that would boil up tender and
nice and render its sweetness to the
manufacturer Of pure maple syrup.
''They have quit making that KIND
of syrup now, owing to the govern
ment's compelling them to put the
real name of the contents on cans and
packages. Nobody would be likely tn
purchase a can labelled, Syrup of
Bootleg for instance"
Anyway, I think haple syrup made
out of sap ought to be ever so much
nicer" said Mrs. Schoonerby.

taste for it," said Schoonerby.-Chi-
