nearly 1000 900 acres, at an estimat-

40, 900, 900 acres of arid lands sus-

newsy personal letter on the eve OF

pleasant visit with several ex-Bis'
markers, among them Messrs: Guth-
RE and Morgan formerly OF the BIS
marck land office, and Mr.. Wenz OF the
surveyor generals Office. The party
went on an excursion to Marshall hail.
a popular resort on the Potomas river
below Mount Vernon, a place famous
the world over for planked shad. Mr.
Speathn.an, another Bismarcker, is IN
Washington, and last week DR.. Brandt
Joined the Bismarck bunch IN wash
ington. He is in Baltimore taking q
special course and was in the national
capitol to attend medical convention.
Miss Satterlund speaks of the beau
tiful appearance of washington at
this time of the year. IN May ana
June Washington is especially attrac
tive. more particularly on account or
the beautiful foliage, and usually the
weather is fair.
It will be a disappointment to her
Bismarck friends that Miss Satter--
lund will not visit her home city en-
route to Idaho. She will 60 out via
Colorado Springs in order to visit
friends and relatives.

III. only Real way to Find ,ts Quality
N%s Ky d" IL to Smoke It.

The Only Real Way to Find It, Quality
H@s -''''% ''@ 10 to Smoke II.
On no point is the average smoker so
Ill informed as that of judging'a cigar.
Nine times out Of ten, upon being
handed a cigar, he will hold it to his
nose, unlighted. sniff at the wrapper
with a critical air and deliver his YER
dict in a self satisfied manner. This
characteristic maneuver Is always a
source of amusement to any tobacco
man who happens to observe It. There
is only one way to ascertain the quail
ity of a cigar, and that is to smoke it.
No expert will pass judgment on a
cigar until he has lighted 1t and
smoked it well down toward the mid
die. The first and most important
point upon which he bases his opinion
is the ''burn." Tobacco may have ev-
cry other virtue, but If it does not hold
the fire and burn evenly it is poor to-
bacco. Next in order Of Importance
comes the aroma-the smoke must
have a pleasing smell" next comes
the flavor-the smoke must be smooth
and not "scratchy" or bitter. Then
there is the color-rich brown, sndicat-
ing a ripe leaf, well cured-and last Is
workmanship-good If the wrapper is
put on smoothly and the 'fbunch" is
made so that the cigar draws freely
and is neither too hard nor too spongy,
bad If the reverse.-Bohemian Maya

ROMANCE OF HISTORY.
These Things Read Like Legends, but
Are Matters Of Fact.

These Things Read Like Legends, but
Are Matters Of Fact.
A peasant girl called half wftted did
promise to defeat the victors of Agin-
court and did 1t; 1t ought to be
legend, but it happens to be a fact.
A poet and a poetess did fall in love
and eloped secretly to sunny cline;
1t is obviously q three volume novel,
but it happened. Nelson did die in the
act of winning the one battle that
could change the world; it is a gross
~ improbable coincidence, but it is too
late to alter it now. Napoleon did win
the battle of Austerlitz; it is unnatu-
raj, but it is not my fault. When the
general who had surrendered a repub-
lican town returned, saying easily, II
have done everything" Robespierre
did ask, with an air Of inquiry.
"Are you deadr' When Robespierre
coughed in his cold harangue GARNER
did say, '"The blood Of Danton chokes
you" stranord did say Of his own de-
sertion of parliament, If do 1t may
my life and death be set on a hill for
all men to wonder at" Disraeli did
say, s'The time will come when you
shall hear me-"
The heroic is a fact, even when it IS
a fact Of coincidence or Of miracle,
and fact is thing which can be ad-
mitted without being explained.-G. X.

An Adventure n the Surf 2" the West

An Adventure In the Surf On The West
, - Coat Eot Afrieat sta&
West Africa Is known to all naviga-
tors for its few harbors and Its heavy
surf, which at certain, seasons RACES
like a battle, defying the white man
who would approach its shores. The
author Of 1.-The Jungle Folk Of Africa"
Mr.. R. II. Milligan, tells OF success
full. and to the observers are amusing,
effort to reach shore at a point where
the surf did not seem to be Impossible.
One day when the beach seemed
much better than usual the captain
and the ships surgeon ventured ashore.
The captain afterward narrated the
adventure of their landing to small
but enthusiastic audience. He said
that after waiting outside the SURF half
IN hour the headman suddenly gave
the order, and ip a moment they were
In the breakers, riding on the top OF
one of them and speeding toward the
shore at the rate of seventy miles an
hour"
The captain was in the bow OF the
boat, we'll braced and cushioned. But
when the boat struck the beach with
the force Of q railway collision the
doctor was thrown violently over two
thwarts into the captains bosom,
whom he clasped about the neck with
a steel-like grip.
The next moment another breaker
picked the boat up and hurled it upon
the beach, throwing both captain and
doctor to a perfectly safe distance,
where they sprawled upon the sand.
The doctor, still hugging the captains
neck and very much frightened. ex-
claimed:
ooh, captain, dear captain, is there
anybody killed but you and me"

BRAVE SOLDIERS.
Sacrificed Their Lives In an Attempt

Sacrificed Their Lives In an Attempt
to Save the colors.
In days gone by the Zulus were
the boldest fighters among all the ma
tives Of South Africa, and it was not
until they had been defeated in sew
eral battles that they would live In
peace with white people.
In 1873 1900 Of the Zulus attacked
and killed a regiment Of British SOL
diers, and a most heroic deed was the
attempt made by three British SOL
diers to save the two flags, or colors,
belonging to the regiment. ~>'
When it was seen that the Zulus
were SO many that there was no hope
of keeping them at bay the scolonel OF
the British regiment called to young
officer whose name was Lieutenant
Melvill and said, You will. take.
charge of the colors, Melvill, and try
to get away from here" -,
The lieutenant saluted and took Into
his hands the two colors Of bis regts'
ment. Then, with another laesr and
a soldier, all mounted, ON Misses, ~
suddenly dashed away with his pre-.
cious burden ! { " =.
They. were at once seen by the keen
sighted Zulus, however, and after a
long chase the three gallant English
men, fighting to the last, were killed
by the enemy.
Some time afterward one Of the flags
was found near rocky stream, %tfre,,
the heroes had fought and died, and
it was taken to England and presented
to Queen Victoria.
And in memory Of the three brave
soldiers who had died while defending

ious years some have been repoated.
but they do not seem to have been
of the same character as those disas-
trous storms that sweep through the
central and southern parts of this
country, uprooting trees, tearing
down massive buildings, and intiicting
death and serious injury. Doubtless
it is true that great many of these
atmospheric disturbances are born
and die out on the prairies, happen
ing to strike no settlement in their
course. But where some of them
strikes a settlement, the resultant
damage is great, for no habitation or
structure will resist the terrific force
of the wind, which is usually COM
bined with a destructive rain or hail.
Langdon, where the worst storm is
reported, is pretty we'll up toward
the Canadian line, so that it may be
safely said that no especial section
of the country is immune from lorna
does, although there are likely to be
fewer of them in this state and in
the northern part of the United
States than in the country farther
south. In the case of the James
town storm, its worst fury seems to
have been spent at a point several
miles out from jamestown, and the
loss of property in the city was along
the river, in which direction the
storm passed. Had the full fury OF
the storm been vented in the city
itself, much worse reports would
have been received.
