Payne Cordially Hated

Congressman Payne, from a non
entity in the feminine mind, suddenly
bcame the most cordially hated man in
the country. His unfortunate remark
about plain. ordinary gloves keeping
the fingers warm, Sufficient to cover
their hands If not their pride" was met
with the full food of feminine scorn.
Payne talks balderdash,'' said Mrs.
A. n Cushing, prominent in club and
sufragette circles.

discussion regarding the tariff yester-
day was that the more expensive the
hose and glove the less it was taxed.
The popular priced articles received
the brunt. those next higher in price
were taxed less. and so on, until the

wealthiest classes were not increased

NAPLES, April 5.-Kermit Roosevelt
was one of the principals in a lively
encounter that took place in the
smoking room of the Hamburg, en-
route from Gibraltar to Naples.
Trouble arose during a lively dollar
limit poker game in which Kermit and
several of his fellow passengers were
players. Kermit proved himself an
adept at the game. He not only had
a great run of luck but showed his
knowledge of the game by repeated
bluffs. successfully put through. To
the discontinue of his opponents Ker-
nit displayed his hands after bluffng
the other players out and smiled as
he raked in the fat pots.
These bluffs got on the nerves of
an irate German who was player
in the game. and. after losing good
pot, he exploded, saying to Kermit:
Calls Kermit Rowdy
"Einen eingebildeten lummel und
rowdy." "a stuck up, i'll bred rowdy.)
Kermit knew from the mans tones
that his words were insulting, and
quickly and fuently retorted in Ger
man:
WAS wollten Sic damit sagen? Ich
habe Sic NIGHT genau verstanden. Sa-
gen Sic das noch einmal." (what did
you mean. to say? did not exactly
understand. Say it again)
The German player. tuning like a
kettle boiling, exclaimed in English:
You think you are better than a
German crown prince"
Kermit quietly laid down his cards.
His eyes flashed. and looking the
German who had insulted him directly
in the eye. he said laconically:
A Beautiful Scrap
'Tll show you what 1 am" The
young son of the former president de-
liberately arose from his seat and went
for the German. 1t was beautiful
scrap. and Kermit put it all over
his opponent, who was not only older
but had considerable advantage in
weight.
Kermit proved himself a clever boxer
and cool and deliberate scrapper. He
landed some hard punches that winded
his opponent, then finished him at will.
The young American escaped from the
fight without mark, while his op-
ponent was nicely decorated in black
and blue when Kermit finally had
him beaten to a standstill.

LOCAL FIRM LOWEST
BIDDER FOR PEN" JOB

The heating system of the state peni.
Tertiary at Bismarck is to be remodelled
this summer and the bids were opened
by the trustees Wednesday. The bid Of
the Dickinson Heating & Plumbing Co.
of this city for 81. sos. so was the lowest
of five estimates. The awarding of the
contract was postponed for a month.
|. In speaking of the Dickinson firm, the
Tribune of Thursday said:
while Frank Gran:bs, a resident Of
Bismarck, is president of this concern
yet the detail work of the heating and
plumbing contracts rests largely with
the active manager of the plant, w. r
Peet. In Nj. Peet the Missouri Slope
has one of the best heating and plumb
ing experts in the state and it was
largely through his thorough knowledge
of the matter that his concern was
enabled to make the low bid they did.
There was competition and that of an
active kind and the state is to be con-
graduated on securing a very reasonable
offer for the work. and if MIR. Peet
should have the supervision of the same.
the state will secure a first class job in
every respect. It shows that in these
two concerns the Missouri Slope can
compete with the LARGER cities of the
state and that in a successful manner

tice. shook their heads in doubt and
prophesied failure for my early sown
oats and barley, to call at the dairy
and inspect it. 1t is up now and q
nicer, more thrifty and vigorous stand
of grain I never saw. It was sown
from March 81 to April 4 on frost. my
teams working only " days as the
ground was froz en- every morning. This
has been a very cold, freezing spring.
and if grain could be injured by freez-
ing and thawine, it seems to me it
would have been ruined this spring. II
has been my practice to SOW grain on
frost early in spring after the 25th Of
March for % years, and I have found that
it did the best. And another thing ]
did, contrary to the practice and teach
ings of farmers of this section of the
country. l plowed the land in August
and first days of Sept ember. and har-
rowed it down good later in the fall.
and then narrowed again this spring
both before and after seeding. Then
another thing did. which I think is
not the practice of many farmers. is,
my seed grain was run twice through
the tanning mill, so as to get only the
choicest and best kernels of grain fol-
seed, hence my grain own early was
of strong terminating power, land could
