mesticated, proved still untamed when
they attacked and frightened almost
to death Miss Ophelia Paine and Miss

arbutus. The flock surrounded the two
girls. picking at them and kissing in
an alarming manner. The girls fed,
but the geese continued the chase al,

STATEHOOD BILL PASSED
SENATE THURSDAY P. N.
NOT EXPECTED ARIZONA NEW MEXICO WILL BE ABLE TO
GET INTO THE STATE FOR COUPLE OF YEARS, How
EvER-coNs7IruToNAL CONVENTION NEXT THING ON THE


The senate substitute was adopted
as an amendment to the house meas
ure by strictly party vote, the bal
lot standing AZ to 10.
AS passed, the bill would provide
for admission as states of two ter
ritories, but not until after consti-
tuition had been adopted by each OF
them, approved by the president and
ratified by congress.
Much apprehension has been felt
that the bill would tie up in confer
ence in the house, but during today's
discussion much was said to diss1'
pate that fear. 1t came in connection
with a speech by Senator Nelson ana
in response by democratic senators.
The Minnesota senator declared he
would do all he could to bring about
an agreement with the house during
the present session.
Under the bill as amended by the
senate it might be two and half
years before statehood law would be-
come operative and the house con-
ferees want to shorten the time to
the spring of 1911.

Washington, June 16.-After re-
naming on the senate calendar for
almost three months in a state OF un-
certainty as to it's fate, the bill pro-
viding for the admission of the ter
ritories of New Mexico and Arizona
to separate statehood was taken up
by the senate today and passed after
a debate consuming little more than
two hours.
The measure was called up by SEN
ator Beveridge, chairman of the COM
mittee on territories, at the conclu-
sion of the routine business OF the
day at 2 o'clock, and was passed after
speeches by Senators Beverage, Fra
zier, Nelson, Hughes and Smoot. All
the speeches were favorable to the
creation of the two state, but the
democrats favored the house bill.
When the vote was reached, there
was a division on the senate substi-
tute for the house bill, but with that
amendment accepted the senate vot-
ed solidly for the passage of the bill.

"Taps."


Tribute to Americas civil war veterans.
They are marching with hating STEP
A hating step and slow
And many in those blue clad ranks
Have hair as white as snow;
Their youth lies on the battlefelds
OF forty years ago.
The faded, tattered flags they bear.
All torn by shot and SHE'LL
Are sacred emblems OF the dead
Who loved their country well.
How great their love and sacrifice
No human tongue may tell.
Those serried ranks are thinning fast
That once with martial tread
The knapsack and the musket bore
Where Grant and Sherman led.
Their sleep is sound and peaceful
In the bivouac of the dead.
No more the reveilIe at dawn
Shall rouse them from their sleep;
No more shall wives and sisters mourn:
No more shall mothers weep;
Their names upon the roll Of fame
Times hand has craven deep.
And some lie on those hard fought fields
Where now the blue and gray
Clasp hands across the battle lines
Their blood has washed away.
Where once the tide Of battle flowed
Their children's children play.
The passing years speed swiftly.
And silence round them wraps,
And to their listening ears there comes
No sWeeter song, perhaps,
Than when the battered bugle sounds
Again the old call-"Taps"

A STRANGE REVERSAL.

Napoleon and Wellington and an Ex-
change Of Residences.
In the days before the Suez canal
was opened to the world st. Helena
was frequent port Of call for British
vessels bound to and from India and
the far east. This custom, explains
Harper's Weekly. was caused by the
need Of obtaining supplies for the long
voyage, and it was therefore for this
reason that the ship which on one &C.
casion bore the Duke of Wellington,
then Sir Arthur Wellesley, returning
to England from India. touched at the
island. The great commander spent
one night at Jamestown at the house
of a Mr.. Balloon.
Ten years later Napoleon Bonaparte
landed to begin his six years of exile
and was assigned to the same room
that his conqueror at Waterloo had oc-
cupied. This coincidence came to the
knowledge of the duke at Paris during
it's occupation by the allied forces. and
he dispatched the following letter to
the British officer then in command at
St. Helena:
II am very much obliged to you for
Mr.. Simpsons book. which ! will read
when l have moments leisure. am
glad you have taken the command at
St. Helena. upon. which congratulate
you. You may tell 'Bony' that find
his apartments at the Elysee Bourbon
very convenient and that l hope he
likes mine at Mr.. Balcom's. 1t is a
droll enough sequel to the affairs of
Europe that we should change places
of residence

BUZZARDS' NESTS.
The Same Ones Are Rarely Used Two
Consecutive Seasons.

The Same Ones Are Rarely Used Two
Consecutive Seasons.
The fight Of the buzzard is as we'll
nigh perfection as is possible to find.
In fact, he might be called the most
perfect aeroplane In existence. To see
him soaring between the bare hills.
with a vast green fertile valley below
him and with the spring sun lighting
up his brown plumage as he slowly
sails around with outspread pinions. is
q sight never to be forgotten.
The buzzard usually chooses ledge
on a cliff for an eyrie. but in certain
parts Of Wales there are few we'll
used nests in trees. and as they are
generally used by some bird Of prey
each season they grow to an enormous
size. The buzzard does not, as rule,
use the same nest two consecutive sea-
sons. but returns to it the third. and
after that allows another season to
elapse before occupying it again
Two nests are often constructed in
one dingle. and an amusing Incident
happened a few years ago in one of
these places. The hen laid one egg In
each nest. and. as it was quite impos-
sfble for her to sit on both at once, we
did her a good turn by placing one of
these eggs in the nest with its COM
panion. The result Of our kindness
was that a collector passed by about
two hours afterward and put both
eggs in his collecting box.
When l thought the matter over
came to the conclusion that that old
buzzard was not half such fool as
we took her to be. and If we had left
the eggs as we found them the bird
might have had chance Of rearing
one youngster.-Country Life.

earth into dioceses. OF these do
ceses there are more than thous.
and in the world, many of them OF
the greatest antiquity, maintaing an
unbroken succession from the earlies

Nov among these" said the arch
bishop, rises the Diocese of Bis
marck, constituted authoritatively and
with all the powers of the oldest in
the world. You have heard read the
letters of authority and the servant
of God, Vincent Wehrle, has been
duly indicted into the Office of bishop.
1t is given to you priests to support
his authority and to second his work
in all things. It is the province OF
you of the laity to pray for and sup
port him who has been made your
shepar with the injunction feed my
lambs and feed my sheep You must
pray for your bishop and for the con-
tinued prosperity of the diocese of
Bismarck. And you must consider
what God hath wrought here. 1t is
a marvellous thing that this diocese
should be created here where but
twenty years ago there was so little
progress, but two priests in the whole
territory now made into the diocese.
Consider the wonderful development
was but wilderness. Providence
has bountifully blessed North Dakota.
There is nothing in the history of
the world to equal what we have seen
here. 1t is a marvel of commercial
and material development and it is
your duty to strive for it's further
growth and betterment. Thank God
the holy church has kept up with the
progress of this country; that it has
pitfalls, schools and academies in what
was wilderness but yesterday. You
must keep this good work up. You
have fertile soil for the support of
yourselves and thousands of others
whom you will bring in; you must
prosper and the church must pros
per with you-and I know it will"
Turning to Bishop Wehrle the Arch
bishop said: "In the name of the
holy church I present to you this
field; these devoted priests; this earn
est and enthusiastic people. Much
has been done and the life and work
of the late bishop of Fargo, John
Stanley, stood for much in the de-
velopment of the diocese which has
now been divided and this part of the
territory devoted to your charge.
This field I present to you in full
confidence of the outcome" Turn
ing to the people he said: 81 present
to you your bishop, asking you to
be with you in all things that he
may lead you in all good ways"
Discussing the work of the church
the archbishop urged upon the people
the necessity for devoting more htan
a sare in their substantial prosperity
to the church. The church needs
new ministers and it should be the
ambition of the family to devote a
son or daughter to the work of the
priesthood or sisterhOOd.

an officer in the Russian army and a
great mimic. One day he was fmper-
sonating the Emperor Paul to group
of his friends when Paul himself en-
tered and for some moments looked on
unperceived at the antics of the young
man. Tolstoy finally turned and. be-
holding the emperor. bowed his head
and was silent.
Go on. SIR" said Paul. "Continue
the performance"
The young man hesitated moment.
and then. folding his arms and imitat-
ing every gesture and information Of his
