A BLOOD TAX.
Payment BY French Town to- Spain
For an Ancient Crime.

For an Ancient Crime.
Seven hundred years ago some shep-
herds Of the valley of Roncal, in Ma
varre. we're murdered by shepherds OF
the valley Of Bareton. in Bearn, the
crime taking place on the high pasture
lands 0f Arlas. In the Pyrenees. It
would have been difficult to bring the
murderers individually to justice, and
the Epaniar1s were preparing to make
war upon the valley from which the
French murderers had come when the
French villages proposed that peace be
maintained at the price of a yearly tax
or tribute. to endure for all time, and
this proposition was accepted.
The payment Of this blood tax-origi-
nally three white mares, but later three
cows Of a particular breed and color
has been made ever since. the custom
Gt is nothing morel having survived
even the great wars in which both
France and Spain have engaged and
the storm of the French revolution.
Yearly the representative men of the
two valleys meet on the frontier at a
certain stone remote from any town
and go through the ceremony OF pre-
senting and receiving the cattle. The
order of procedure. which is elaborate
and impressive, is fixed by document
bearing the date 1875, though the tax
was paid a hundred years prior to that
time. The records of each yearly meet
ing and payment are duly attested and
deposited in the archives of the Ron
calais.-New York Tribune.

REPUBLICS IN GERMANY.
THREE City States Whose Constitution,
the Empire Respects.


Hamburg. Bremen and Lubbock are
theoretically three republics which
have for the mutual convenience OF
themselves and the empire come under
the rule Of the kaiser in all but purely
local affairs. AS they had joined the
north German confederation, which
was formed after Prussia's victory in
1866. there was nothing left for them
to do but to give their allegiance to its
successor. the empire
Each is represented in the bundesrath,
or federal council, as well as in the
reichstag. and each retains the repub-
lican principle in its local legislation.
The Hamburg senate may have fallen
from it's highest estate, but it still lives
and legislates concurrently with the
house of burgesses. The burgomaster
OF Hamburg remains the great man In
the estimate of the Hamburg people,
the inheritor of the great traditions Of
the Hansa. Bremen and Lubbock have
constitutions in cousinship with Ham
burg.
A wise empire respects the constitu-
tons of these city states and refrains
from any action limiting of the applica-
ton of the steam roller in pursuit Of
harmony. The survivors of the Hansa
have been more fortunate than some
other republics of continental Europe
They have outlived several that had
hopes of being left ignored in their
republicanism.
Cracow was once republic, but, be-
ing surrounded by Austrian posses
sions, was finally swallowed up in 1916,
Since that time it has been city Of
Austrian Poland.-BOston Transcript.

First Normal School,

The first normal school was founded
in Rheims. France. in 1855. There
was no beating of big drums or fiaunt-
Ing of bunting on that day. and yet
1t would be difficult to say what con-
temporary event can compare with it
in value to humanity. One of the good
old pastors Of Rheims found out by
questioning the teachers in his par.
ish that they were teaching accord
ing to no rule-in other words. were
not teaching at all-and he forthwith
began taking the steps which were to
lead to the founding Of school which
would teach the teachers how to teach
the children. He little dreamed of
the wide reaching results of his ac-
tiOn.--New York American.

PAPER,

Williston, N. D., May w. S. Da-
wilson, cashier Of the Citizens National
bank and local manager for Tom Mar
shall, undertook to whip Editor White
head of The State, in the lobby Of the
Great Northern hotel here last night,
but Davidson was unable to land.
Davidson had passed Whitehead on
the street a few minutes before where
no noe could have parted them, but
later came into the crowded lobby
of the hotel, announced his intention
of whipping Whitehead and without
great haste pulled of his overcoat his
coat and gloves. Then Whitehead
struck twice and Davidson clinchedr
when bystanders separated them and
the newspaper man for the first time
in his life came out of a fight without
receiving a blow.
The trouble was caused by an article
in The State recalling Davidson's con-
nection with a bank that failed al
Granville some years ago. Whitehead
promised to give the full story Of the
wrecked bank.

retired farmer Of Huron. s. D.. and
herself heiress to 100000, was found
here today working in the Des Moines

tinued teasing to which she says she

that time her father has been frantic

tion regarding his daughter but up TO
yesterday has been unsuccessful.

placed under the charge of the police
matron, while awaiting instructions

BELLE FOURCHE
VALLEY BOOMING
SPRING OPENED EARLY AND
THRIVING SECTION OF SOUTH
DAKOTA Is VERY MUCH
ALIVE,

Aberdeen, s. D., May T. Belle
Fourche valley one of the most beau
tiful in the west, is one of the busiest
places in South Dakota today. Every
thing is humming. Spring came early
and warm, drawing, the frost out of
the ground SO that farming operations
began early in March. The oldtimers
are getting their fields IN shape for
seeding, and a large number of new
settlers are turning the sod on their
new farms to be ready for spring plant
ing. Conditions agriculturally were
never more favorable. A great build
ing boom has set in and Belle Fourche.
Vale and other towns in the valley
show a number of new structures I'M
der construction. Newell, a new town
at fourteen days of age, boosted a
building for every day. It's newspaper
established in the opening week is full
Of local items and optimistic predic-
lions Of future greatness for the com
ing city of the valley. The new branch
line of the Chicago G. Northwestern is
graded to the edge of the government
townsite, and the laying of the rails
will begin In the near future. 1t seems
probable that the road will be in oper-
alton during the summer.
Work on the big Belle Fourche dam
Is progressing rapidly, only 10000
cubic yards out Of a total of 1900, 900
cubic yards remain to be put in place.
The principal work to be done Is to
face the upper side Of the embankment
with gravel overlaid with concrete
blocks to prevent wave action. The
dam will be $500 feet long. with a
maximum height OF lis feet IT viii
create the largest lake in South Dakota
and soon become a favorite boating
and fishing resort. About $4,000 acre
feet will be stored in the reservoir this
summer
The reclamation service at Washing
ton, d. c., Is especially encouraged In
the outlook for this project. OF the
lao farmers who were entitled to wa
ter in 1909 only fifteen were delinquent
In their payments, and of those Ii is
believed that twelve win make good
before cancellation proceedings are in
stituted. This is an excellent showing
when it is considered that many of
them were inexperienced and possessed
only moderate means.
Settlers are coming in rapidly and
by June it is thought every farm In
the second unit will be filed upon. In
1911 a very large area of public. land
will be available for entry About four
ty good farms Of eighty acres each are
available to entry now on the second
unit The cost of the water right, $50
per acre, Is one OF the lowest in the
west. Payments may be made In in
stallments covering period OF ten
years without interest.

The coming Of the delegates from

terest that will be more than state
wide. North Dakota has had unique
place in the international field, be-
cause Of the great immigration of the
middle west settlers. The valley will
always hold it's place in the history
Of the state as the bread basket of the
world" but the middle and extreme
west has become such a factor that
the beautiful Red" is not only at
tractive these days and so from still
further west will come delegates to
the convention next week.
The programme has covered almost
every city, town and hamlet of the
state and viii likely bring together an
almost new constituency, that in
former years have been almost isolat-
ed from the big things of Sunday
school work.
Rev. and Mrs. Snow-the new sec
retaries are now with Acting Secretary
Orchard at Dickinson, getting the last
touches Of the twenty first annual
gathering and also going over the
work of the months to come.
One Of the attractions of the state
convention will be the annual banquet,
that has always been a special feat
ure Of the convention. This will be
preceded by the generous automobile
ride planned by the Commercial club
between the hours Of 400 and $3.50.
There will be a lrage delegation
from Fargo.

many of the state officers will be
among the delegates and many of the
