A TENNYsoN STORY.
Tho Poets Mistake and the Way He
rendered an Apology.

Tho Poets Mistake and the Way He
rendered an Apology.
Englands great poet Tennyson was
a somewhat gruff and formidable man.
whose manner with curious strangers
was by no means gentle and pleasant.
Once a young woman who had been
lust introduced to the great man at
Freshwater was left alone with MIN
on the seashore. She stood in immense
awe of the poet and therefore did not
interrupt him as he sat speeches.,
gazing straight ahead of him at the
sea.
The long silence was broken at last
In an astonishing manner by Jenny
son. He was going to open his lips and
utter some lovely thought, the young
woman imagined. Instead he opened
them and in gruff and gloomy tones
gave voice to this remark:
"You creak."
The girl started back in horror.
Tennyson added an explanation:
"You creak. Your stays creak."
This so startled the young woman
that she ran away and went indoors.
where a large company. she found,
was gathered together over tea. In
little time Tennyson appeared, a vague
expression on his countenance. as
though something had gone wrong
with BIN. The girl. now accounting
him possibly mad and certainly impo-
lite, tried hard to hide away from him.
In vain. His eagle eye found her out.
He threaded his way among the other
guests toward her, took her hand and
said in resonant tones before the whole
company Of them: -
: AMY dear. beg your pardon. I find
It was my braces"
- - A Witty Widow.
M A widow of the name OF Rugg. hav-
ing taken Sir Charles Price for her
second husband. was asked by friend
how she liked the change. p:
'sOh,'" she replied. Il parted with my
old Rugg for good Price" -

v Calvin Bowdry, the colored man
about whom the entire town Is talk
Ing. and whose name will have been
: heralded to all parts Of the world as
the second luckiest man in the big
land drawing recently made at Aber-
deem. is, a. recent arrival in Bismarck
having arrived here from St. Louis
about four weeks ago. .; 49, =.
Bowdry mas been in the employ of
G., W.. Wolbert since his arrival here
and has the reputation Of being an
honest, hard working and ambitious
man.. He surely has been all these
things since he has been IN Bis
marck. He came here from st. Louis
where he was in the employ Of Ely
and Whitney, jobbing firm, in the
capacity of porter.
= He was delighted with his good for
tune and says that he will go down
and settle on his claim at the ear
Hest opportunity. When asked If ne
would take $4,000 for his rights, he
said: "Sho, man, that claim is not
TO- sale at any price,"
~ Bowdry is Is years of age but has
never had the advantages of any
schooling and Is unable to either read
or wride. He signed his application
by proxy simply making cross.
Bowdry will not throw up his pres
ent job but will work along at it until
it is time for him to file on tEs claims.
He says that he expects to take a
, trip over the reservation as soon as
he can get the time and has no idea
as yet where he will locate.
There were rumors about town on
Tuesday that there had been offers
Of $4,000 each made for the first and
second choice, but that is simply a
rumor as. was the announcement a
couple of weeks ago that the Standard
Oil Co.. was out with an offer of $40,-
" 900 for the right to locate the first
claim. -
Anyway, Bowdry is happy coon,
and shows it clearly by the large IL
Illuminated smile he is carrying around
with him. 49,.

The special train that passed
through the city Monday Eight car
ried delegates to attend the Dry
Farming congress which meets at
Billings this week at which will be
present most of the governors OF the
western states and large delegation
of prominent men FRI IN the west and
northwest. With the special train
were the following North Dakota
delegates: Pres. Worst OF Agriculture
al College, Lieut.. Gov. 4. s. Lewis
of Fargo, e. J. Weiser II thu Fargo
Commercial club, Mr.. Paulson Of VAL
ley City, w. c. Gilbreath Commits
sioner Of Agriculture and State Aud
itor Brightbill. The railroad officials
comprised the following: Ares. J. J..
Hill of the Great Northern, Pres,
Howard Elliot Of the Northern Paci-
fic, Thomas Cooper assistant to the
president, Gen. Mangr. Slade, Asst.
Land Com. Delzell. c. w. Mott, gen.
eral immigration agent, and Mr..
Townsend and Mr.. Wheeler of the
passenger department. ---e Northern
Pacific company invited one delegate
from each Commercial club along the
line of the Northern Pacific to at
tend the congress and be the guest
Of the company during the trip.
J. j. Hill will be one of the princf-
pal speakers at the congress and
other men of national reputation
will participate in the program. The
delegates will visit sections where
the dry farming methods have been
employed and will see the practical
demonstration of what has been &C
complished in ontana in dry farm
ing. Delegates will be welcomed at
Billings BY Gov. D. L. Norris of
Montana, president of the congress.
The system of dry farming as sue
cessfully carried out on many Mon
tana farms aims to reduce the loss of
natural rainfall to minimum,
saving the loss in the natural drain
ing off of rains by breaking the soil
and allowing the moisture to seep in
to the ground and saving the loss
through the evaporation of moisture
in the ground because Of capillary
attraction, by creating dust mulch
or Ouch blanket to protect the sur
face and conserve the moisture. On
the experimental farms the land is
summer fallowed and tests show that
70 per cent of the moisture is retain
ed for the benefit Of the crops.
Intense interest is manifested in
the development of the new system
because of the exceedingly large areas
in Montana and other western states
where the rainfall is light Dry
farming has been successfully en-
ployed on lands ranging from 20
inches down to ID inches per year of
precipitation and a better and more
scientific application of the prin-
ciples already understood will mean
that ordinary farmers can success
fully handle tremendous acreages
now unused. and grow upon them
profitable grain crops.

FACTS OF EXCITING
 RUNAWAY INCIDENT
Nobody eabIy Hurt, but Family of Five Narrowly Escape Severe
 Injury.

runaway incident in which A. w. Collins, who resides on Grand avenue. his wife and two of their three chill ing about o'clock on and near Wash ington street, between Third and Fourth streets. MT. Collins suffered the bruising of one of his legs where a buggy wheel passed over him; Mrs. Collins was very severely shaken up and was probably hurt ehe worst of all. though 1t is not believed her i'm juries will be serious, as they seemed last night to be confined chiefly to the shock and jar of her jump from the vehicle. The baby in her arms was considerably scared and bruised a little, but seemingly is not badly hurt. A 2-year-old boy fell out i'm mediately after his father and was scratched up, but no bones broken. and the other child, a lad of four. rolled out behind. escaping injury. The horse was badly hurt.
 Mir. Collins and family were just leaving the Morden rsto eat the corner of Washington and Fourth street. starting west on Washington. They were all in a one-horse open buggy, the animal driven being a high spirited and quite valuable mare. They had proceeded but a few yards when the mare was frightened by a passing street car and shied to the left. turning sharply into the vacant square opposite the residence of Dr. Lightburne. The quick turn threw MT. Collins and one of the children out on the right side. and soon after Mrs. Collins jumped with the baby in her arms. The mare in the meantime be- gan kicking and tearing up the har- ness that held her to the vehicle. She was quickly captured and subdued by passersby, but not until she had cut one of her hind legs quite badly.
 MT. Collins says the horse has now run away three times and made trouble and, though a good animal in a general way, is not a safe one. Be- ing quite badly injured, it is now likely the horse will be killed.

OF LOCAL INTEREST

DANCE TONIGHT-There will be a dance at the Grand tonight, with good music.
 NEARLY PROVED FATAl-A cy- clist coming fast down Adams street attempted to turn on Center street. running into an approaching cab. fall ing directly under the wheels. Had the cab been coming at a faster rate of speed the accident might have end ed in a fatality. As it was the rider was not injured save for the fall. his wheel however, was crushed to pieces.
 CORNER STONE LAID-The cor ner stone of the new Second Baptist church will be laid on September 18th with appropriate ceremonies. Imme- diately following the laying of the stone, rally will be held to secure sufficient funds for the completion of the edifice. As it is the walls of the church have been erected but a lack of funds has stopped construction. The congregation. formed in 1905. num- bering six persons, has gradually enlarged until now it seems fitting to have a church of its own. Meetings have previously been held in Smiths hall on East Madison street. Fourteen hundred dollars has already been rais- ed for the construction of the church to where it now stands.
