ROUTED THE SINGER.
Tosti's Encounter With a Persistent
and Peppery Stranger.


"Tosti used to tell an amusing little
story Of feminine persistence" says
Harold Simpson in his book, ga Cen
tury of English Ballads" It was dur
ing one of his busiest mornings, with
a long list of singing lessons to be got
through, that a knock came at the
door Of Tosti's fiat. His valet was i'll,
and so TOsti went to the door himself.
4 Lady, a stranger to him, stood on
the threshold.
"'Signor TOstiP she inquired.
"Tosti bowed.
~'Oh,' said the lady, 7 am singing
your song, MY Memories" at Man
chester tonight, and I want you to
kindly run through it with me-
Madame answered Tosti politely,
but firmly, I fear it is impossible. l
have two pupils with me now, and q
third is waiting IN the anteroom, while
others will shortly be arriving
"'But you mustv the lady persisted.
"T am sorry began TOsti again
when he suddenly received a violent
push backward and the lady walked
into the studio.
"Tosti followed, protesting. After a
long argument. which threatened to
become heated, the lady snapped out:
VERY well; I shan't sing your song
then?
Madame said Tost, taking her by
the hand, I am infinitely obliged to
you

SnniIed In the Making.

Behold, when a man on a trolley
car removed his hat the other day little
Willie observed that he was bald-yea,
very bald, for not a single hirsute
rambler Tailed over his shining pate.
But when il came to whiskers the
bald party was right there with the
lilacs He had WhiSkers in bundles,
whiskers in stacks. In fact, he had
enough whiskers to start a rat factory
and make a fortune.

Willie, turning to his mother, ''just

Grenada Was BOUGHT Cheap.

The island of Grenada, in the Brit.
ish West Indies, was bought by the
French from the Caribs by a solemn
treaty in the middle of the seventeenth
century, and the price paid was two
bottles of rum. Esau's mess of pot.
tage was a good stroke of business by
comparison. The Caribs soon regret,
ted having sold their birthright and
vainIy tried to get the island back by
force. 1t is now one of Englands most
prosperous colonies in the West Indies

New Zealand's Glaciers,

The great size of the glaciers around
Mount Cook, in New Zealand, has
been often remarked. The Tasman is
eighteen miles long, the Murchison
ten miles, the Cooley eight miles, the
Mueller eight miles and the Hooker
seven miles. Most of these glaciers
have mOraineS of exceeding rough
ness, but the approaches to them are
not steep, as is usually the case with
European glaciers. The southern
Alpine snow line is only a little over
1000 feet. GIacially polished rocks
are rare, and in many ways the noun
tains are singuIarly different from
those of central Europe.

ETIQUETTE IN SIAM.
On Hands and Knees Before the King
Was Long the Custom There.

On Hands and Knees Before the King
Was Long the Custom There.
Perhaps the most revolutionary re-
form carried out by the late king OF
Siam was the abolition Of the arbi-
trary rule of etiquette which forbade
an inferior in rank to raise his head
above that of a superior or even level
with it. The inferior must not even
pass over a bridge while a superior
was underneath it, nor must he enter
a room in an upper story while a su-
perior was occupying a room beneath
it. Servants approached their mas
ters on hands and knees. This Gus
tom is by no means obsolete today in
spite Of the royal edict, for many OF
the powerful mobiles who live far
away from the court still enforce it.
In 1874 the king held a large court,
at which no one present presumed to
appear otherwise than on hands and
knees. It was at this audience that
the edict forbidding Ihe custom was
read TO the PROSTATE multitude. They
there and then rc8e and stood like
men I'm the presence of their sovereign
for the first time on re"Ird Since
then there has been no pfOstrEtiOn at
the royal audiences. Bat if a supe-
riOr stops to speak to an inferior in
the street the latter will still bend or
lower his head in some way as a
mark of respect. London Saturday

The Social Settlement

In calling attention again to the
urgent needs of the cOlored Social
Settlement, we do so the more readily
because Of the really earnest efforts
now being made under the direction
of the new president, DR.. John R.
Francis, to put the whole enterprise
on a we'll sustained basis.
We should take particular pride in
sustaining DR.. Francis and his ener-
getic co-workers, because they are
working unselhshly and along practi-
cal lines to help refute the charge
that we do not, as a race, give proper
support to such work in our midst
and for the direct benefit of the un-
fortunate IN our own race
1t is not enough that we give OF
our dollars, but we should give per
sonal service as we'll We should
visit the Settlement, and encourage
by our presence the good work car
ried on down there by the ladies who
are giving their whole time to the
work, and for very inadequate com
pensation.
twas a fine thing for Mrs. Yves,
and Mrs. Bruce to assume the re
sponsibility personally Of raising Z
fund to insure the prompt payment
OF the salaries of the two lady work
ers at the Settlement, and we shoulC
faithfully uphold them in their efforts
It Is equally meritoriOus in Mrs

moth charity reception which she ha:
planned in aid of the same cause, ane
we should literally support that pro
leCt, also not alone by Individually
purchasing tickets for it, but by per

Cannon Ball curiosities.

Jamestown.-Fivel large round stones
have been received by the N. P. Co., to
be placed as curios in the city park.
The stones are from the Cannon Ball
river and resemble, in size. large can
non balls. They come from west of the
Missouri river at the. mouth of the
Cannon Ball river The stones are not
artificially cut, as might be supposed
from their nearly perfect spherical
shape, but are natural formations.
They are found at one place in con-
siderable numbers, in gorge or high
bluff near the mouth of the Cannon
Ball river, and become loosened and
roll down to the side of the stream
The stones are accretions, are soft
sandstone. yellowish in color. The
name of the river is taken from the
stone that SO greatly, resemble cannon
balls.

Kid Traitor Wanted Again.

Williston. = Further prosecutions
against Kid Trailor, the notorious
horse thief who was at liberty for so
long a period throughout this section
Of North Dakota and of Canada, are
promised as a result of warrants be-
ing sworn out in Divide county.
Bringing stolen property into the coun-
ty is laid up to Trailor by the Divide
authorities and efforts will be made to
extradite him from Canada and place
him on trial for that offense.
When Traitor was captured in July,
1909, at Writing Rock, then in Will
liams county, but now in Divide coun-
ty, he had in his possession five horses,
all of which he was accused of having
stolen. Traitor is one of the most
spectacular characters in this section.

DAIRY CONN ssIoNERF FLINT

HOME MARKET Is BEST
There 10 Higher Development Of the
Country Where Farmers Can Sell
Their Products to Local
Concern.

Bismarck.-A large number of farm
ers Of Burleigh county, residing near
Baldwin, have become interested in the
place and a meeting of all of them who
are interested will be held for the pur-
pose Of talking the matter over, and II
possible, perfect such an organization.
Dairy Commissioner r. F. Flint Is very
enthusiastic over the proposition.
According to Dairy Commissioner
Flint, local creameries help to build up
the communities where they are locat-
ed. There Is higher development of
the country where the farmers sell
their product to local creameries than
where they make long distance ship
ments. Then where the farmers own
their own creamers, they gain consid-
cradle business experience in its man.
agement. 1. becomes in way the
business and social center of the COM
munity and the farmers have an op-
portunity to broaden out.
There ought to be room for several
more creameries in every county in the
state at the present time. The report
of the dairy commissioner for the year
ending June 80, 1910, showed the fol-
lowing interesting figures:
Number of pounds of milk sold to
creameries. 1880.
Number of pounds of cream sold to
creameries, 539,266.
.Butterfat contents of same, 210945
pounds.
Money paid patrons, s53,539.14.
These figures show substantial in
crease over the preceding year and dc
not take into consideration the amount
Of cream which was sent to other coun-
ties or was possibly shipped out.

would not have paid in this section
only q very few years ago, the large
amount of wheat that is raised
throughout the southwestern district

very good one.
