NEGRO Halter MARBLES
Bill Proctor, Man Who Chased Coloret
Man Eloped With Fair Turtle
Lake Lady.

Turtle Lake Wave: Bill Proctor, the
well advertised niger chaser of Turtle,
known as Texas Bill, Cowboy Bill and
Crazy Bill, arrived at Turtle Lake last
week, and kept himself slowed away
for couple Of days. Friday evening
he drove out to the Ole Kittleson home
and returned with Mr.. Kittleson Is
Miss Kettleson boarded the train for
Darlington, while Bill, still wary,
took a ride on a freight train which
left an hour earlier. The aeloping cou-
pie came together again at McClusky
and continued their way to Darlington
where they are to be married. Proc
ter, we hear, is located at Kenmare,
N. D., where they will make their
home. Proctor is from tie COW fields
of west Texas where it is considered a
disgrace to breathe with a negro with
in 100 miles. This prejudice elung to
him while living at the Lake and his
harsh treatment of the black ones who
happened through this town in part
accounts for his disinclination to get
within the vision Of Mclean county
authorities. Miss Kettlescn has many
friends and relatives here who join
in wishing the couple well.

BURNS CELEBRATION
WAS A BIG SUCCESS
Annual Celebration Of Cavalier Coun
ty Caledonian Society Was
Given Wednesday,.

Langdon Republican: Those who
predicted that the attendance at the
Burns celebration would be light this
year had another guess coming when
they sa wwhat was doing last night.
True, the attendance was not as great
as last year, but it came up to the ex-
booster and beyond what most people
thought it would bet was simply
a good crowd, just big enough for
everybody to have what room he
needed to be comfortable. The weather
was inclined to be stormy aud no
doubt kept some away, but there were.
enough who paid no attention to the
weather as long as there was Burns
celebration on tap, and that given by
the Cavalier Caledonian society, who
have never fallen down yet on put
ting up the best there was to be had
and no doubt intend to continue to do
80 in the future.
During the afternoon numerous
little private side shows were polled
off Just as starters for the big show
which opened up in the opera house
at 8 o'clock with a program Of some
90 numbers, followed by banquet at
the Columbia hotel and the New Eng
land restaurant. Even before the last
srppers were finished, dancing was
started in two different plaees-the
opera house hall and the Great Nor

clined tripped the fantastic until tn

AN ABNORMAL WINTER.

As we are approaching spring and looking back over the three closest winter months we find that the winter of 1911 has been different from the record for forty years. An examina- ton of the statistics shows that since 1871 and up to 1911 the mean temper sturs of December in Boston has been s1.4. January 27.4, February 2s.1. We have a rsverse record this year, with December the co1dest, January warm ar than December, but 4 of degree colder than January usually is, and February II degrees colder than the mean temperature for the month reg ulariy, and 44 degrees colder than January. These three winter months have not moderated toward spring as is the regular rule
 There was nothing that approached a severe snow storm with draft-mak- ing winds until February 9th, and in the coast line states there has been more freedom from snow and ice than is customary, from Bangor to the Sound.
 The native birds have found the winter most comfortable for them, and the fact that flock of robins win tered on Peaks island. off the coast of Maine. fs SO extraordinary that wide publication of the fact has been given.
 Ths Portland Express declined to say the backbone of winter was. brol<- cn for the reason that 1t had developed no backbone to break.

The Land of Story Books.

The Land of Story Books. At evening when the lamp is lit, Around the fire my parents sit; They sit at home and talk and sing, And do not play at anything. Now, with my little gun crawl All in the dark along the wall, And follow round the forest track Away behind the sofa back. There in the night, where none can
 spy,
 All in my hunters camp lie, And play at books that I have read Till it is time to go to bed. These are the hills, these are the
 woods, These are my starry solitudes; And there the river by whose brink The roaring lions come to drink. I see the others far away As if in firelit camp they lay. And I, Ike an Indian scout, Around their party prowled about So, when my nurse comes in for me, Home I return across the sea, And go to bed with backward looks At my dear land of Story books.

JERRY AND BOCO SEE WOOD FOLKS

A butterfly metropolis, or city, is a big patch or field of flowers where but terf1ies meet to gather honey, or to lay their eggs, so 1t may be a field of daisies, a big patch of violets, or a large clump of miIkweed, which is sometimes called butterfly weed,'' be- cause so many of them love it and fly to it; and it was this home of the Zebra caterpillar that Jerry and. Boco found themselves in about midday, while two little lads were skirting it to find Cat -erpillars, so named because was a little puzzled by the cats he had met in the fields, for there was cat nip
 and the cat-call of the cat-bird and the caterpillar, and he didn't know how many more, for he knew nothing of the cat-kins which were gone, or of a cat astrophe which might be his portion
 Jerry felt frolicsome and would have chased the utterf1ies had not the boys been there. He soon found that flight was the thing for Boco and him. self if they did not want the boys to chase them. so they sneaked away and wandered in the woods and fields. The first travellers they met were the Bufo's the insect eaters, whom we all know as toads, and Jerry was i'm clined to play with them, but When he found that they were not nice and were not pleasant to play with or good to eat. he did as Boco did, let them alone; and they wandered off into the woods to a pond where they listened to MT. Rama, the pond-croaker, saw MT. Chelon, the speckled turtle which boys capture and take home in their pockets. saw old Triton, the lizard, crawling in the damp and sunless places, and heard MT. Hyla up on a tree trying to whistle up shower. It was just like a museum to Jerry, and he enjoyed it all but seeing Boco quickly climb a tree he knew it was time for him to keep him company. and it was not long before a hunter
