HOUSE TAKES SERIOUSLY .,.-
ITS FANCY DANCE BILL

Pierre. 8. D., Feb. 17.-In spite OF
the terrible "manhandling' given n
bunny hug bill in the senate, the fact
remains that the measure has passed
both branches and probably Will be-
come a statutory regulation. The au-
thor of the bill, Representative Patter-
SON, expects that the house will uphold
him in a refusal to concur in the SEN
ate amendments, which will throw the
proposition into the hands of q con-
ference committee. MIR. Patterson
thinks the conference committee will
about its original form and that this
report will be adopted In both
branches.
The bill as amended by the senate
and passed with 80 affirmative votes,
probably will hold first rank In the
list Of legislative enactments in this
state. Under its original form the re-.
strictions of the bill, In very brief
terms, applied to "the bunny hug, the
grizzly bear, the turkey trot and other
suggestive and immoral dances."
Among the amendments attached in
the senate are the following:
''That the term Dances as herein
used shall not be construed to. apply
to ghost dances. sun dances or st.
Vitus Dances"
mo privileges herein granted shall
apply 10 duy ulcLLlOSE VI TIC AlNdSC ia
representatives"
Only one amendment was voted
down, and hat provided for all per-
sons to dance singly at all public
dances hereafter held in the state.
Some members Of the house r very
much ION edge" over he situation
and feel that the action Of the senate
was intended as a slur at the other
branch. For that reason a fight may
be made to, concur in the senate action
and pass the questions up to the gov
ernor. 1t is assumed that he would
veto the act in It's nreSent freak form

"Well?" said Ryanne, whirling his

There was going to be trouble some
where along the road.

H."
Who hast" One fear beset Mahom-
eds heart; this dog, whom he called
effendi, might have sold it, since that
must have been the ultimate purpose
Of the theft. And If he had sold 1t
to one who had left Egypt . Ma
homed's neck grew cold. "Who has
it, effendi? Is the man still in Cairo %
yes. II you and your two friends
will come with me to the English-Bar,
I'll explain many things to you," as
sured Ryanne, beginning, as he BE-
lieved, to see his way forward. Don't
be afraid. I'm not setting any trap for
you. I'll tell you truthfully that I
didn't expect to see you SO soon. If
you'll come along I'll do the best l can
to ~straighten out the matter. What do
you say"
Mahomed eyed him with keen dis
trust. This white mar was as strong
in cunning as he was in flesh. He had
had practical demonstrations. Still,
whatever road led to the recovery of
the rug must needs be travelled. His
arm, though 1t still reposed In a sling
was not totally helpless. 1t stood
three to one, then. He spoke briefly
to his companions, over whom he
seemed to have some authority. These
two inventoried the smooth-faced Fer
inghi. One replied. Mahomed ap-
proved, Three to one and in these
streets many to call upon, in case Of
open hostilities. The English-Bar Ma
homed knew tolerably well. He had
known 1t in the lawless and ~reveling

his. They were rather upon even
terms In the adjudication Of each 9TH
er's character.
The English-Bar was not the most
inviting place. Sober, Ryanne had
never darkened its doors. The odor
Of garlic prevailed over the lesser
smells Of bad cooking. It vas lighted
only from the street, by two windows
and a door that swung open all the
days In the year. The windows were
generally half obscured by bills an
nouncing boxing-matches, wrestling
bouts and the Autographs Of cheap
theaters. The walls wer decorated
in q manner to please the inherent
Anglo-Saxon taste for strong men, fast
horses, and pink-tighted Venuses. A
few iron-topped tables Uttered both
room and sidewalk, and here were
men Of a dozen nationalities, slipping
coffee, drinking beer, or solemnly
watching the wa~ter-bubbles In their
S~heeshas. or pipes.
A curious phase Of this class of un-
der-world is that no one Ia curious.
Strangers are never questioned except
when they invite attention, which they
seldom do. So, when Ryanne and his
quasi-companions entered, there wasn't
the slightest agitation. A blowsy bar
maid stood behind the bar, polishing
the copper spigots. Ryanne threw her
q greeting, to which she responded
with a smirk that once upon a time
had been a smile, He, being master
Of ceremonies, selected a table in the
corner. The four sat down, and Ryanne
plunged intrepidly into the business

directed his effort. Half a dozen times,
Mahomed dropped a word in Arabic to
the other two, who understood little or
no English.

ST Petersburg.-As one moves
about the streets, he is struck most
OF all by the wasteful use Of space.
1t is at once apparent that Petersburg
eve slowly evolved from embryonic
beginnings. But 1t would be unwise
to proceed further in describing Pet
ersburg's streets without noting the
fact that she has two kinds Of streets,
namely, the Nevsky Prospect and
others. An ordinary ''oolitza" or
street except late in the afternoon
when Petersburg wakes up!), is a
semi oriental sight. Save on court
holidays, when each house is required
to hang out the national flag, there
is no color in the streets, the houses
are dun colored and m~onotonously
alike. There are no hills, no small
homes, no large ones-just huge, hui
man hives with courts in the rears.

lamps in the front.

to call their wares; bands, hand or
gans or street vendors seldom dis
turb this solemn city of the north.
Even the tram cars creep by noise
lessly; they are "c~urve-squeal" and
rattle proof.
All, but how different, Kaleidoscope
Nevsky Prospect! 1t is the Fifth v
nue., the Inter den Linden, the Re
gent street Of Russia's capital. Less
than three miles long, it is yet n
of the worlds really unique highways.
There is nothing like 1t elsewhere.
Some visitors come and go; others
stay; but foreigners never seem to
weary of gazing upon this peculiarly
varied, m~arvelously cosmopolitan
sight. Over the spacious wooden
pavement between the two low banks
Of g~littering stores, flows a motley
stream Of traffic. Here the ends of
the earth seem to meet. Everybody
from everywhere rushes hither and
thither. Red French Automobiles,
their horns singing tuneful, metallic
ditties, swerye and dodge about
ragged peasants bearing burdens with
wooden shoulder yokes or driving
primitive. homemade carts. Royalty
appointed equipages, Haunting purple
plumes and golden braid, prance Sc

steady torrent of cabs. Perhaps a
funeral is creeping by people die
much in Petersburg); the golden, tin
seled casket in the shabby, boat-like
cart flames brilliantly in the sunlight,
and peasants stride proudly by it as
though they are escorting a prize
pumpkin to market. Inexhaustibie is
the fascination Of this animated thor
oughfare. !
And the people! How varied and
gay r the colors! How dazzling
are the uniforms, the Partisan gowns,
the flashing of trailing swords! Sol
diers armed cap.a-pie seem to make
up half the parading multitude. They
meet, halt, salute and pass on. On
the Nevsky Prospect there is time for
everything. There are Frenchmen.
Germans, Dutchmen, Films, Tartars,
The women are beautiful. Every
true male Russian presents a study
In whiskers. It is the land Of the
great unshaved. There is a peasant
sweeping the street with a witch
broom of twigs-a tattered edition Of
Eolstoi himself! Before the street
icons the faithful halt, bow, cross
themselves and murmur a phrase Of a
prayer. What a human melangel
Here the nations Of Europe pass in

Horace Ryenne arrives at the hotel in

Ryanne sells Jones the famous holy Yhi-
ordes rug which he admits having stolen
from a pasha at Bagdad. Jones meets

gaEed dreamily over Ryanne's head.
The other fellow wouldn't trouble n
