Evening
The Dog Star
From the 'OId Home House"
By JOSEPH c. LINCOLN
copyrisht. 1907. By A. S. B.rns. a Co.

VI T commenced the day after we
took the old man Stumpton out
III codfishing. Now, il you know
- anything about fishing you
know that when the dogf1sh strike on
it's "goodby, codr' So when Stump
ton hauled big fat one over the rail
| could tell that Jonadab was ready to
swear. But do you think it disturbed
your old friend Peter Brown? No,
sir! He never winked an eye
by Jovey' he sings out, staring at
that dogish as if twas gold dollar.
"By Jovew says he. That's the finest
specimen of a Labrador mack'rel ever
I see. Bait up, Stump. and go at 'em
again"
So Stumpton, having lived in Mon
tana ever sence he was five years old
and not having sighted salt water in
all that time, he don't know but what
there is such critters as Labrador
mack'rel," and he goes at 'em hammer
and tongs. When we come ashore we
had eighteen dogfsh, four sculpin and
skate. and Stumpton was the hap
piest loon in Ostable county.
Stumpton and his daughter, Maud
ina, was at the Old Home House.
Old Dillaway-Peters father-in-law-
had decoyed the pair on from Montana
because him and some Wall street
sharks were figgering ON buying some
copper country out that way that
Stumpton owned. Then Dillaway was
took sick. and Peter, who was just
back from his wedding tower, brought
the Montana victims down to the Cape
with the excuse to give 'em a good
time alongshore, but really to keep
'em safe and out of the way till Eben-
ezer got well enough to finish robbing
'em. Belle, Peters wife. stayed be
hind to look after papa.
Stumpton fished and loafed and shot
at mark. He sartinly could shoot.
The only thing he was wishing for
was something alive to shoot at, and
Brown had promised to take him out
duck shooting.
Maudina was, like her name, pretty,
but sort of soft and mushy. She had
big blue eyes and baby face, and her
principal cargo was poetry. She had a
deck load OF lit, and she'd heave it over
board every time the wind changed
She was just out of convent school,
and you could see she wasn't used to
most things, including men.
The first week slipped along, and
everything was serene
Peter had gone driving with Mau-
dina and her dad, and me and Cap'n
Jonadab was smoking ON the front
piazza.
''Well, by time!" says he, pointing.
A feller had just turned the corner
of the house and was heading up in

ed if Montague don't slap his hand to
his forehead and toss back his curls
and look up at the sky and sing out:
MY wife and babe! Restored to me
after all these years! The heavens be
thanked!'
Well. twas a sacred sort of time.
The town folks tiptoed away, the men
looking solemn. but glad, and the wo-
men swabbing their headlights and
saying how affecting twas, and SO on.
Oh. you could see that show would do
business that night if it never did
afore. The manager told us Montague
belonged to the Uncle Toms Cabin
company and that he'd disappeared
fortnft or so afore, when they were
playing at Hyannis. Eva was his
wife, and the child was their little
boy. The bloodhounds knew him, and
that's why they chased him so.
What was you two yelling Stop
thiefv after him for?" says he. "Has
he stole anythingr'
We says "No."
s'Then what did you want to get
him for?' he says.
1--WE didn't says Jonadab. "We
wanted to get rid Of him. We don't
want to see him no more"
You could tell that the manager was
| puzzled, but he laughed.
"All right says he. If know
anything about Maggie-that Mrs.
! Schmults-he won't get loose ag'in."
We only saw Montague to talk to
but once that day. Then he peeked
| out from under the winder shade at
the hotel and asked US if we'd told
anybody where he'd been. When he
found we hadn't he was thankful.
"You tell Petey," says he, that he's
won the whole pot. kitty and all. I
don't think I'll visit him again, nor
Belle neither"

i write to Maudina that you was
married man. And old Stumpton's been
praying for something alive to shoot
at" says.

An Infant Mathematfefaf.

Carl Frederick Gauss, the famous
German mathematician, when he was
three years old overheard his father
making calculation in regard to the
wages of some workmen. Young Carl
suddenly looked up and called his fa-'
theirs attention to the fact that he had
made an error in his figures in one
place. This boy entered the gymna-
SUM at the age of eleven and master
ed all studies with the greatest rapid
ity, so that at fourteen he was thor
oughly well informed in literature,
science and philosophy His mathe-
matical faculty increased rather than
diminished with years, and much Of
modern mathematical science Is due to
his labor.
The Last.
What race may reasonably be ex-
pected to be the last on earth? The

says he when he stepped aboard.
They'll be along when we're ready
for 'em," says /. you go below there,
will you, and stow away the coats and
things"
Where's Mau-Miss Stumpton?" he
says wildlike.
''She's abed, caPlate,' says L, 'get-
ting her beauty sleep. Why don't you
turn in? Or are you pretty enough
now?'
what kind of a game is this?'' he
asks, brisk. where are you goingy'
Twas Jonadab that answered. 1--WE
are bound" says he, ''for the Bermu-
das. It's lovely place to spend the
winter. they tell me-" he says.
Montague seemed to size things up
in jify. He looked at us. then at the
sail and then at the shore out over the
stern.
"Donep' says he. "Done! And by a
couple of farmersp"
And down he sets on the thwart.
Well, we sailed all that day and ell
that night. Course we didn't really il
tend to make the Bermudas. What we
intended to do was to cruise around
along shore for couple of weeks, long
enough for the Stumptons to get back
to Dillaway's, settle the copper bust
ness and break for Montana. Wed

done and saying that we trusted to

Neafness Cannot be Cured

by local app lications. as they cannot reach
the diseased portion OF the ear. There is only
one way to cure deafness. and that Is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by
an infamed condition OF the mucous lining Of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is In
perfect hearing. and when 1t is entirely
closed. Deafness is the result. and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this tube
be destroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten
are caused by Oatarrh. which is nothing but
an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Chinese and the Morse Code.

ChInese and the Worse Code.
Difficulties Of the Chinese language
were ably demonstrated when the
problem arose Of adapting it to tele-
graphy. How was it possible to apply
the Morse alphabet to q language
which has no alphabet at all. but con-
sists of nearly 1900 characters?
Then it was impossible to treat Chi
nese phonetically. writing down the
sound Of the Chinese words in Euro
pean letters and translating them into
Morse dots and dashes, because no
such system could deal with the Chi
nese niceties Of intonation. The in
genious solution came from Danish
professor. He simply codifed the
1000 commonest Chinese characters,
representing each by numerals. Thus
the Chinese word for "cash'' became
6O30 in the code. and the operator had
only to. send the code signal for that.

Prof. Jay B. WOODWORK. of Harvard.
He says that the goal reached by Pearv

From the results Of his geological re-

geological formation OF that country.
While there he discovered evidences Of
glacial formation. showing that the
now torrid country was covered in the
prehistoric ages by ice and snow. This
glacial formation he found extended
over the isthmus Of Panama, and as far
north as Jhe parallel which extend.

Western Ranches Are Feqver,
But Cattle More Numerous
Settlement of Grazing Lands BY Small Farmers Said
Not to Have Affected Quantity of Stock Raised
Beyond the Missouri

PIERRE, s D., April 4.-bIueh has
been said about the effect of the agf-
cultural settlement OF the lands west Of
the river upon the live stock industry,
and the general verdict has been that
outside the big reservation pastures the
homesteader has practically destroyed
the range stock business.
The marketing OF live stock in the
state has from year TO year shown
marked growth, bur the presumption
has been that the increase from the
farms has been sufficient to overcome
The loss upon the ranges.
The only method OF asctrtlining the
real effect Of the homestead movement
on live stock is through the assessment
rolls In 1906 the homestead movement
began and the assessment rolls OF THAI
year showed in the range counties
