ALL THE WAY ROUND.
An Odd Sort Of Dinner and the Rea.
son Of Il.

son OF IL.
Lord Polkemmet, a Scottish lord Of
session, usually retired to his country
residence during the part Of the year
when the court does no business.
John Hagart, the Scottish advocate,
equally idle from a similar cause,
went to shoot, and, happening to pass
Lord P.'s property, he met his lord
ship, who politely invited John to take,
or, as he said, to TAX, a family dinner
with himself, his wife and daughter.
John accepted the invitation, and
they all assembled at the hour Of din
ner. There was a joint of roasted veal
at the head of the table and stewed
veal at the bottom, veal soup In the
middle, calf's head on n side Of the
soup and veal outlets on the other,
Calls foot Jelly between the soup and
roast veal and Calls brains between
the stewed veal and the soup.
"Noo," said his lordship in his own
blunt way, mfr. Hagart, you may very
likely think this an odd sort of dinner,
but yell no wonder when you hear the
cause Of it. We keep nae company,
MI. Hagart. and my daughter here ca.
tiers for our table. The way we do is
just this: We kill a beast, as it were.
today, and We just begin to cook it al

DISASTER AvERTED
Continued from page y

The nearest hydrant was below
the Walton & Davis office and before
water could be secured the tanks were
surrounded by flames and liable to blow
up at any instant. The water came in
time and the full force was directed
against the tanks, tanning out the flames
and cooling the intense heat, thereby
sewing the city just in the nick of time.
The pump house was totally destroyed.
A small stream Of oil leaking into the
flames, made the fire very spectacular
and the water only served to send the
blaze higher into the air, with puffs of
bursting fire, accompanied by dull de-
donations. The loss to the oil. pumps.
fixtures, building, etc.. will be about
$500 with no insurance. An inspector
from Fargo has been in the city making
arrangements to erect a new building
at once and new pumps have already
been. shipped so that there will be
little delay.
What might have been" never does
much harm but if the 1000 gallons of
gasoline and the S 1000 gallons of kero-
sine had exploded, there would have
been something serious. In the i'm
mediate vicinity of the tanks are the
Walton & Davis lumber yards and ele-
vator. the stock yards. railroad buildings
and many residences. The burning oil
would have flown in all directions for
several blocks and the whole east end
of the city. to say the least, would have
been threatened.
Mr.. Vaughn has had charge of the
local branch of the company for seven
years and this was the first accident
during the time. He is thankful,
however, that it was no more serious.

THE MISSING MlssIvE.

One Romance Of Uncle Sans Dead
Letter Office.
Something like 100000 letters an.
nually fail Of delivery in the United
States owing to insufficient postage or
incorrect addresses. The dead letter
ONCE at Washington employs a large
force Of clerks to handle these. The
packages that have been received at
the dead letter Office have contained
false teeth, glass eyes. brass keys and
thousands Of other things that one
would expect to find in the
mails.
It would be interesting to know how
many engagements have been broken,
how many friends have been estrang-
ed, how many fond hearts have not
been reunited, how many deals have
fallen through, how much money has
been lost and how many quarrels have
been prevented by letters that never
came.
A pretty romance was revealed ut
the dead letter Office the other day
when a young woman called there to
see If a wrongfully addressed letter
had been received. 1t had, and she
was greatly relieved. II heard that
Jack was untrue" she said, land
wrote him breaking u engagement.
The day after l wrote l found out that
I was wrong. My heart was almost
broken, but Jack kept right on coming
to see me and never mentioned the let
ter. I began to think I must have
misdirected it and find that I did. 1t
must have been fate. Now he will
never know."-St. Paul Pioneer Press.

4 Dou Story.

At a farmhouse at which we have
been staying a terrier, Rough, shares
always his masters first breakfast,
the bread and cream accompanying a
cup of tea. Three corners he breaks
off and gives to Rough. who eats the
first two. OF the third he ticks the
cream, then carries the crust to a
hen who each morning comes across
the field where the fowls are kept
and at the gate awaits her friends ar
rival. Should others of the hens ap-
pear, Rough "barks them of" while
his favorite devours her portion. -

THE CHARM OF NEW YORK.
An English View Of the Metropolis Of
the New World.

An English View Of the Metropolis Of
the New World.
New York ought by most artistic
standards of the past to be hideous.
Instead (as I made UP my mind, with
a shock of pleasure, a few weeks
ago. she is as beautiful, as individual
almost. as Venice. OF course there are
her sky and her atmosphere. Even a
regular old trump of a city could
a spurious charm when golden wine Of
sunshine dripped owe her from a
crystal cup studded with turquoise or
in q sunset such as heaven and Turner
alone could conceive, glittering like q
heap of jewels behind n veil of sprin-
killed. gold dust. But the startling, BIZ
zarre beauty of New York could exist
~ in a London fog.
What is there to say of q vast city
where all the architectures of the
world and some that were never seen
anywhere else) on land or seq rub
shoulders together? Would you not
think that they would refuse to speak
to each other, even If they didn't fight
in disastrous battle dreadful to wit
ness? But 60 to New York and see.
I said to myself as I drove about
New York that the gay, colorful city
was like a huge flower garden where
the gardener had sown his seeds any
how-crlmson hollyhocks, golden sun
flowers, dainty pinks, modest ~violets,
tall white lilies, larkspurs, pansies and
a thousand other early things heller

The Ancient Manufacture Of Copper.

The Ancient Manufacture Of Copper.
The ancient Syrians and Phoeni-
clans are well known to have been &C.
tive traders in copper, and they man
ufactured this metal into bronze by
melting it with tin. Learned an
tiquaries assure US that the Phoeni-
clans actually came to England and
to Ireland in search of tin for this
purpose, and some years ago some
curious bronze articles were found In
several Of the old mine workings in
Cornwall, which are believed to have
been left there by that ancient people
at a time when no bronze was either
made or used in Observation-Disclosures

CHINESE METHODS.
Why . Street, Newly Paved, Was Torn
Up by Official Order.

Why . Street, Newly Paved, Was Torn
Up by Official Order.
NJ. Monnier, the French Asiatic
traveller, vouched for the truth Of the
following story Of how his friend,
Hop Sing, a man Of means and re.
dnement, was on one occasion sorely
victimized. Hop Sing lived in the
street Of the roasted corn, as UNI
savory and as Ill paved a street as
any In all Pekin. The local manda.
rim was an intimate friend Of his, and
Hop Sing availed himself Of this
friendship to press the mandarin to
have the street repaved. Certainly,
at once. The men would be at work
on it before Hop Sing could get back
home. A week passed, then another
visit, and SO on until, in despair, Hop
Sing determined to have the street re-
paired at his W expense. The work
was satisfactorily completed.
The surprise of Hop Sing was only
equaled by his indignation when on
awakening n morning he found q
gang Of coolies %upheaving the newly
tagged street. His surprise grew
when he heard from the mandarin's
own lips that the men were there at
his orders.
"You see, my dear friend" said the
mandarin, II am expecting the head
Inspector around here in a few days.
Now, If he were to see the beautiful
pavement you have laid down in your
street he would come to the conclu-
sion that there was money about, and
he would assuredly bleed every vein
in my body. This would mean my
ruin. Don't you see why your pave
ment really must come up? 1t cost me
one fortune to secure my post. 1 don't
want to spend another in keeping it."
