A Cumulative Persian Story.

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

Calais and Its Lighthouse.

Calais is rather an untidy place for
a French town. The Place d'Armes,
where the tower Of the Hotel de Vile
has remained since the fifteenth Gen.
fury, is the center spot, Here Calais
meets it's friends and has it's cafe noir.
In the square, towering out Of the roofs
Of surrounding houses and dwarfng
them, is the old watchtower. Since
1S4S it has been superseded as a light
house by the magnificent n at pres
ent in use. Never shall 1 forget the eff
feet Of this lighthouse as I stood under
it that night. The revolving spokes of
light cast away into flmy space in all
directions, looked like the ribs of a
huge umbrella being turned by the
white handle, which was the lighthouse
tower. So tall is this that it's revolving
light a be seen from a distance Of
twenty miles at sea.-Wide World.

REFUSED TO TELL ABOUT
BEER SELLING AT PICNIC

1t is alleged that a considerable
quantity of beer was sold at a big
dedication picnic down in Hcttinger
county. Bartcl Braun, who was pres
ent at the celebration, knew some.
thing about it and was subpoened by
States Attorney Crane to tell what
he knew in court. This Braun re-
fused TO do. with the result a cl1arpe
of contempt Of court was lodged
against him. On Tuesday he ap-
pcarcd before Judge w. C. Crawford,
having decided to talk. But his testi-
mony did not amount to much, saying
that he knew nothing about whether
or not the beer was sold.
Those in charge Of the picnic
stated to the authorities that the
members had all paid in individual
amounts for the purchase of the beer
consumed. Others alleged, however,
that tickets were sold at so much
each, and that these tickets had to
be produced and ole paid over for
each glass of beer passed over the
bar.

1.-THE SPOILERS" TO Be
SHOWN IN PICTURES

"The Spoilers," Rex Bcach's great
Alaska romance, will be shown in mo-
ton pictures, ~ reels, at the Dick
inson opera house, Wednesday and
Thursday, August 10th and 18th. This
play has been shown in this city be-
fore, but never in it's original 12-rccl
version.
No description of this great picture
is necessary, as nearly everybody has
either read the book or heard of the
play. 1t is a wonderful production,
based upon facts in which several
early political bosses of North Dako-
ia played an important part.
The greatest hand to hand fight
ever staged or shown in pictures APP
pears in "The Spoilers" One of the
participants in the act actually broke
his arm in the realistic stage struggle.
This conflict alone is worth the price
of admission.

FAIRGROUNDS INTEREST HIGH

Interest is certainly high at the
Fairgrounds these days, as evidenced
by the children's determination to win
their respective games. The "kids'
have all been divided and put into
teams according to their age and abil-
ity, and although the race for the
championship has only nicely started
some mighty close and fast games
have already been played in the diff
erent leagues. A number of p~assers-
by have been attracted by the noise
and yelling of the children in their
cheering for their respective teams
and many a "lusty lunged" youngster
has gone home hoarse at six o'clock.
The girls are crazy for base ball and

Value of READING.

There is perhaps nothing that has a
greater tendency to decide favorably or
unfavorably respecting a mans intel
lect than the question whether or not
he be impressed with an early love Of
reading. Books crafty and excite our
curiosity in ~innumerable ways. They
force us to reflect. In a well written
book we are presented with the ma
turest reflections or the happiest flights
of a mind Of uncommon excellence. It
is impossible that We can be much &C
customed to such companions without
attaining some resemblance to them

Life of the Atmosphara,

The three gases, oxygen, nitrogen
and carbonic acid gas, which are found
in the air about us are constantly being
used up. All living animal creatures
are at all times taking oxygen out of
the air to live on. Certain microbes
r using up quantities Of the nitrogen
all the time, and the plants live on the
carbonic acid gas. But while these
different kinds Of life between them
use up the air, they give back some
thing also. The plants give off oxygen.
The bodies Of the animals and plants
when they die decompose, and as they
r full of nitrogen that is given back
to the air in that way, and then all
living creatures are always throwing
off carbonic acid gas through their
lungs, and thus everything that is
taken out Of the air Is put back again.
The plants live Oh carbonic acid gas
and give us back oxygen. The living
creatures live on oxygen and give off
carbonic acid gas, and when they die
their bodies put back in the air the
nitrogen which the microbes take out,
and SO consumption and production are
about equal all the time.-Philadelphia
