c. P. B'urnstad, who had string of
thirty horses at the Mandan fair, says
the public is entitled to an explana-
ton. At Fridays exhibit the bucking
steers refused to buck. The owners
of the steers offered to bet that no
one could ride these bucking animals
Mr.. Burnstad has in his party twelve
men who can ride anything from a
wooden sawhorse to the cylinder of
stone crusher and among the num-
Der is Guy Lenarville. Early yester-
day, in order to test the matter, Len
arville repaired to clean spot down
in the brush and rode both steers to
a standstill. Then when the exAibi-
ton came on before the grand stand
the animals declined to buck. After
few hops they walked off like cows.
After Lennarville had once ridden
them the steers seemed to give up
the fight. Sort of digniheu, you know.
An offer of $500 had been made to
anyone who could ride the steers. but
after Guy Lenarville had broke them
almost any women could maintain a
mount on their backs. 1t amused
those who understood the situation.
but those who did not thought the
whole thing fake.
Charles S. Lane, of Linton, was at
a local hotel yesterday. He says the
announcement that he had lost a hid
early in the week was erroneous. He
had no child to lose; in fact Lane nev-
er had any, much as they desire them.
Another report had it that Mr.. Lane
was i'll in local hospital. The fact
of the matter is it was Mrs. Lane who
was i'll, while the health of Mr.. Lane
has been excellent for many years.
With these minor exceptions the news
story concerning the Lanes was sub.

recently:
"The sweetest thing that ever hap-
pened in New Orleans occurred when
tanks containing five million gallons
of molasses burst in the warehouse

part of the commercial district was
flooded with stream of molasses so
deep that many persons had narrow
escapes from drowning in the sticky
stuff.
"The people in the street adjoining
the burst tanks had to wade through
molasses up to their waists or even to
their chins in some instances.
Several persons tried to swim in
the molasses, but it was like the an
tics of fly on gummy fly paper, and
they had to be rescued. There was
a general rush for hot baths as soon
as those who had been engulfed sue.

To repair the breaks in the tanks
1t was necessary to row boats into the
warehouse on the surface of the
sticky flood.
For time it was hoped to save
much OF the molasses, but a water

mixed and both quickly disappeared
in the sewers. The loss exceeded

Paying a Debt in Full
BY WlNIFRED BLACK.

what to remember Forget it all, this
whole miserable buslness-the first ter
rible mistake and the terrible price you
have had to pay for 1t. Fin your life
so full of new interests, new thoughts,
new developments, that you can no
more take any interest in things that
are dead and buried than you could go
back and be q little girl again.
You're young, you're bright, you're
good-no, I'm not sneering / mean It,
I'm not talking about what you We're
I'm talking about what you are now
and now is a big enough time for any
one to attend to.
Stop thinking about then, stop worrying
about then, and think about now
splendid, hopeful, busy, practical now
and you'll come out all right.
You did wrong, you owed debt, you
are paying that debt now in tears and
anguish and humiliation. Let It go at
that, and let ell the people connected
with that debt and the paying of 1t go,
too. Live your own life, and live It
with content and honest self-respect.>
And hearkenl You have lived in the
outer darkness where there is weeping
and gnashing of teeth; you know what
a mistake such as yours means to a
woman. Concern your heart no more
with the sorrows that are past. Con-
Germ yourself with that young girl you
see walking right on the edge of the deep
cliff where you stumbled and fell. Who
can help her as well as you? Don't
preach to her, don't Spy upon her, don't
suspect her--just help her
+ The husband? Lot him go. He'll find
a good" woman to marry him and make
him work for her and perhaps there Will
be times when he'll wish he had you back
again. These perfect" women are not
always such great successes as wives
after all.
What is that to you? You are not
responsible for him; you are responsible
for yourself-and that's all.
Get fresh start somewhere-don't slip
any more-climb, and smile all the time
you are climbing,
No man may ruin the life of any
woman no matter how good" he is or
how bad she has been.
The woman you were is dead and
buried. Put up a modest stone at her
head, join hands with the hurrying years
and go away from the grave where she
lies buried and think of 1t no more. Gc
on in your chosen way, be a brave
woman, an honest woman, cherry
woman; be a help to all who need your
help. So shall the debt you owe be paid

The Fleet
ny CHESTER FIRKINs.

GRunt rocks OF death that darkly lay,
Unstirred by tide or rivers sway,
Against the glory OF the day,
The ships OF war were still.
Kindred I'm color TO the wave,
Kindred in menace TO the grave.
They floutcd, terrible and brave,
Beneath the peopled hill.
Imm0yable as fortod Isles
Stern guns abrlstle from their piles
The anchored squadrons marked the miles
From bay 10 citys rim.
We gazed upon the steely chain
The shackles OF the mighty main
Built, by our will for human pain,
And felt the grandeur grim.
But sudden, fell the voil OF night,
And, sudden, 20 tho wondering sight.
From far-thronged wave, and wall and
height
We saw the splcndor glow.
Phantasmal as a magic dream,
The bosom OF the hidden stream
Burst, beautiful, into the CLEAN
OF lights long filed and low.
The floating citadels Of death,
As by some mystic shibboleth,
Were fashioned, in the space OF breath,
Into q fairy scene.
The things that men had made TO kin
Stood ylorified and sweet and stlli,
While music reached the shoreward hill
From out the dream demesnc
But yet again the dawn came. cold
The deep guns by their thunder, told
Their power, where the echoes rolled
Against the rocky shore.
And out upon the ocean gray
Trim, terrible. In close array,
The dreamful, beautiful ships away
Went forth for Peace, or War.

A Champion Of the Powder Rag
