A Cumulative Persian Story.

A hunter finds some honey in the fis-
sure Of rock, fills jar with it and
takes it to a grocer. While it is being
weighed drop falls to the ground
and is swallowed up by the grocer's
weasel. Thereupon the huntsman's
dog PUSHES upon the weasel and kills
it. The grocer throws stone at the
dog and kills him. The huntsman
draws his sword and cuts of the gro
GERS arm, after which he is cut down
by the Infatuated mob Of the bazaar.
The governor Of the town, informed
Of the fact, sends messengers to arrest
the murderer. When the crowd re-
sisted troops were dispatched to the
scene Of the conflict. whereupon the
townspeople mixed themselves up in
the riot, which lasted three days and
three nights, with the result that
10000 men were slain. All this through

Early LandhoIdinu.

Nothing is clearer than the fact that
the system Of landholding in the most
ancient races was communal. Private
right in land was for long time I'M
known, the source Of life being held in
common between the members Of the
tribe, Not only land, but all property
that in any way had to do with the
general welfare. was looked upon as
belonging to the whole tribe in com
mon, no individual having the right to
call it his own. Gradually and after
very long time, under the old regime,
the right of private ownership began
to creep in until at last it became the
recognized rule pretty nearly every
where. New York American.

LandIocked Harbor.
"The greatest piece of seamanship /
ever saw. said traveller, was on a
trip to Halifax. 1t was a marvel, and
this is how it happened.
1--WE were steaning along about
twelve hours out from our destination
one summer afternoon. 1t had been
clear all day, and the sea was beauti-
fully blue, but about O'Clock the fog
began to shut down-one of those
|Aswift, dense fogs that come on that
coast and shroud boat from sight in
less time than it takes TO tell of 1t. OF
course the fog whistles began to blow,
and many Of the passengers got nerv-
GUS under the strain Of its continued
believing.
after dinner / went up on the
bridge and was permitted to stay. The
captain would not enter into any con-
|'versation- that is, could not talk to
him, but In his restless pacing up and
down the bridge he would frequently
make a remark to me- 1t went on that
way for hours, the fos as thick as
steam and the whistle reiterating its
mournful warning.

said nothing, but did not under
stand. Why, the night was so thick
that it was hard work to see from the
bridge to the rail, and what could he
mean by making buoy?
ION and on we went, and always the
fog seemed to me thicker. I could
not sleep, and most of the night was
on the bridge. When it must have
been nearly morning a new whistling
began to sound on our starboard bow,
as nearly as I could Judge. 1t was
fearful fog siren, and kept getting
nearer and nearer. We had stopped
whistling, and the passengers were ter
ribly frightened. looked at one ex-
naval officer who stood with me on
the bridge, and his face was like
dead mans. Mine must have been also.
Then, just as it seemed that some
giant steamship must strike us, so
close was the whistling. the fog lifted
like veil, and there, not 100 feet
away, was the buoy that the captain
had mentioned.
almost at once the fog closed down
again; but, do you know. he took us
past two warships, into the landlocked
harbor and up to the dock in it. It
was magnificent, and, though we really
could not put our admiration In tan

The Curious MissIafna.

The story Of how the mistletoe gets
on the trees is a most interesting one.
Covering the mistletoe twigs are pear
~ white berries. These come in the
winter season, when food is COMPARE
lively scarce, and hence some birds eat
them freely. Now, when a robin eats a
cherry he swallows simply the meat
and dips the stone away. The seed
of the mistletoe the bird cannot flip.
1t is sticky and holds to his bill. His
only resource is to wipe it off. and he
does so, leaving it sticking to the
branches Of the tree on which he is
sitting at the time. This seed sprouts
after time, and not finding earth
which. indeed. its ancestral habit has
made it cease wantingit sinks its roots
into the bark of the tree and hunts
there for the pipes that carry the sap.
Now, the sap in the bark is the very
richest in the tree. far richer than
that in the wood, and the mistletoe
gets from Its host the choicest Of food.
With a strange foresight it does not
throw its leaves away, as do most
parasites. but keeps them to use in
winter, when the tree is leafess.

The corn bill bug Is the name given
to an injurious insect whose appear

the state entomologist, the adult in
sects are hard. grayish black beetles
about half an inch long. They have
rather a long stout bill. hence their
popular name. They may be found
working on the corn stems at or just
below the surface of the ground. The
first sign Of their presence are rows
of holes, usually four in each row, ex-
tending longitudinally across the leaf.
These holes are made by the beetles
in feeding at the base of the stalks
when the leaves are rolled up. Later
evidences are found in stunted growth,
distorted stems and torn and mangled
leaves. The insects occur most fire.

CIGAR COMBINE
NOT PERFECTED
REINEcKE a M'koNE STATE
THAT NO COMBINATION HAS
YET BEEN PERFECTED BE-
TWEEN ANY TWIN CITY ToRAc-
co CORPORATIONS.

It has been announced in The Cigar
and Tobacco Journal of Aug. rs, that
deal of magnitude. involving con-
solidation of the jobbing and retail
cigar business OF three firms, operating
in three Minneapolis, st. Paul
and Fargo-is rumored. The Tobacco
Journal says:
The plan, as originally MAPPED out,
contemplates as near as can be as
certained the formation Of new COR
poration to take over the business OF
Sherman Smith In Minneapolis, Ferris
& Grady in st. Paul and Reinecke &
McKone in Fargo. In the new corpor-
alton Sherman Smith and w. FL. Burd,
the latter at present manager for Fer
ris & Grady, will be the principal stock
holders. The Radison cigar stand In
Minneapolis lis not included in the deal,
this being owned by separate com
pany In which Mr.. Burd holds approx
mately half the stock The capital
stock will be sufficient to adequately
conduct the business. Just how 1t will
be distributed cannot be announced
until further details are completed.
When inquiries were made in this
city today, In regard to the proposed
consolidation, neither Mr.. Reinecke nor
Mr.. McKone of the Reinecke & Nc
Kone Cigar Co., would talk for publ
cation, except to state that such a
combination had been at one time con-
templated, though nothing had yet been
consumated, and that the account given
in The Tobacco Journal was incorrect
in many of its particulars.
1t is understood on good authority
that should such a consolidation be
perfected and the proposed corporation
launched, 1t will in no way affect the
present management of the Reinecke
& McKone interests in Fargo nor
change its present business style, as
everything will be conducted practical
ly on the same basis as has heretofore
been done. The seven stores In the
city under the management of the
Reineeke g. McKone Cigar Co. win be
added to the other interests, 1t is un-
derstood, but 1t will only mean an in
crease of the capital stock rather than
change in business management, as
the rumors from the twin cities infer
red.
Mr. Burd, the present manager of
the Ferris & Grady firm, mentioned in
the article in The Tobacco Journal, is
former Fargoan. and was at one time
a member of the high school faculty
and coach of the football team of that
institution.

DYNAMITE VICTIM.

horrible accident Saturday night while
blasting rock with dynamite on the
farm of Rev. G. JUL, of the town Of

completely off. the fingers and thumb
of the other hand were dismembered,
and one eye was gouged out, but up
to the present time he still lives, ana

rival of a physician.
About O'clock Saturday night,
Lindstrom went out to blast rock

the necessary arrangements. He waited
a while and as the explosion did not
occur in due time. he thought there
must be a hitch in the proceedings,
and while making the investigation
sat down on the stone-temporarily.
The inactivity of the dynamite was of
short duration, and the unfortunate
man was thrown about thirty feet into
the air.
Lindstrom was a man Of iron con-
stitution and the physician states that
there is a possible chance that he may
live, II blood poison does not set In
For years the man has been known
to be mentally strange and It Is al

work at things which no ordinary man
would do and there Is considerable in

accident happened that Lindstrom was
allowed to handle dangerous explo-
sives. 1t Is alleged that men nearby
laughed when they saw him blown up.

Evening Grain Letter.

Chicago, Aug. 20. Wheat: Our
market opened at fractional decline
and ruled easy in tone and lower in
price throughout the session. More
favorable temperatures were noted in
the northwest and there was consid-
cradle pressure on the September de-
livery with a slack cash demand.
Speculative trade continues OF very
moderate proportions, owing to some
extent of large deliveries on Sept. !.
Northwestern markets were weaker
than our own with fairly liberal
movement and weaker premiums for
current receipts. The market may
have some further temporary set
back but we do not care to follow
the decline.
