Notable Men Who Have Served Country
Abroad Making Their Homes Here.

A'-~-----o @--~-~ = ~~@--~~
Washington has q strong lure for one
time diplomatists.
Notable men who have representa- this
country In foreign capitals are making
the Capital City their mecca. An tn
. teresting and ever-growing colony OF
these solons Is always in our midst.
Those who at one time have been active
In oficial life find IT hard to keep. away
from the city where the wheels go
around" and the majority OF these one
time ministers and ambassadors usually
plan to- reside here during portions of
the year.
Thomas ]. o'Brien, Of Grand Rapids
Mich, once Minister to Denmark. later
Ambassador to Japan, and afterwarc
Ambassador to Italy. and Mrs. O'Brien

amend D. c. DRY BILL
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE
permitted in the bill is the five gallons
every twenty days allowed the churches
for sacramental purposes.
When the bill comes into the House
under the rule and the three hours de-
bate starts, the purpose of ''drys" will
be to strike out these and all other
amendments and pass the bill in the eN-
act form in which II passed the Senate.
To add any amendment would send the
bill back to the Senate, where the
chances Of it being killed In the closing
days of the session by flibuster would
be dangerous.
I'VE will railroad this bill right
straight through, and 1t will be a law
within another week." one of the dry
members of the Rules Committee de-
clared last night.
Mistake as to Date.
While there Is a mistake as to the date
or which the legislation shall be en-
forced, the Senate draft reading Novem-
her l. 1916, the defect will not be remedied.
The bill will be passed with the 1916 date
In it, and the ''drys'' believe II any litiga-
ton results. the courts will interpret the
evident intention Of Congress.
There is no doubt that the bill will pass
the House by an overwhelming majority.
The vote of 31 to Y on the bone dry"
amendment is an Indication Of how the
House will line up on the Sheppard bill.
There are twenty-six members of the
House who are ready to filibuster, and
they asserted yesterday that it was no
idle threat. Representative Gallivan. of
Massachusetts,. who is one of the strong
opponents of the legislation, declared that
the high-handed methods adopted to force
the legislation were disgrace and an
nounced his intention of supporting the
movement for a fllibuster. He will also
press his amendment which provides for
the referendum.
ITO H with the Rules Committee"
said Representative Hamill, Of New Jer-
sey when the District Committee met
yesterday. Other members, both ''wets"
and ''drys," were equally as vehement in
denouncing the action Of the Rules Com
mittee, taken after 1t learned the bill was
to be reported to the House on Tuesday.
The feeling was such that the vets de-
clared that II the Rules Committee
brought in its rule on Monday it would
be turned down by the House.

dozen times he leaped In, and swan
out into the tream. But Gray Wolf
would come no farther than she could
wade,
They could hear the distant murmur-
ing roar Of the fire now. Ahead Of 1t
came the wild things. Moose, caribou
and deer plunged into the water Of the
streams and swan to the safety Of the
opposite side. Out upon a white finger
of sand numbered a big black bear with
two cubs. and even the cubs took to
the water, and swan across easily. Ka-
zan watched them, and whined to Gray
Wolf.
And then out upon that white finger
of sand came other things that dreaded
the water as Gray Wolf dreaded 1t: q
big fat porcupine, a sleek little marten,
a fsher-cat that shifted the air and
walled like a child. Those things that
could not or would not swim outnum-
bered the others three to one. Hun

of the County of Brookings, s. D., met
in regular session in their room in
the court house in the City of Brook

of September. 1917.
Members Of the board present were
II. c. Halvorson, chairman, and R. c.
Tollefson, C. II. Davis, Thos. Kidman,

dOwS. 1t was old, and worn out, and
%blackened by snow and rain, but he
lay down beside 1t, and remained there
for a long time. while the baby joan
a thousand miles away-was playing
with the strange toys Of civilization.
Then he returned to Gray Wolf among
the spruce and balsam.
The cabin was the one place to
which Gray Wolf would not follow
him. At all other times she was at his
side. Now that she had become &C.
customed TO blindness, she even ac-
companied him on his hunts. until he
struck game, and began the chase.
Then she would wait for him. Kazan
usually hunted the big snow-shoe rab-
bits. But N night he ran down and
killed a young doe. The kill was too
heavy to drag to Gray Wolf, so he re-
turned to where she was waiting for
him and guided her to the feast. In
many ways they became more and
more inseparable as the summer
heightened, until at last, through all
the wilderness, their footprints were
always two by two and never one by
one.
Then came the great fire.
Gray Wolf caught the scent of II
when it was still two days to the west.
The moon, drifting into the west, be-
came blood red. When 1t dropped be-
hind the wilderness in this manner,
the Indians called it the bleeding moon,
and the air was filled with omens.
All the mex day Gray Wolf was
nervous, and toward noon Kazan
caught in the air the warning that she
had SenSed many hours ahead of him.
Steadily the scent grew stronger, and
by the middle of the afternoon the sun
was yelled by a film Of smoke.
The flight of the wild things from the
triangle Of forest between the juno
tons of the Pipest0ne and Cree rivers
would have begun then, but the wind
shifted. 1t was a fatal shift. The fire
was raging from the west and south.
Then the wind swept straight east
ward, carrying the smoke with it, and
during this breathing spell all the wild
creatures In the triangle between the
two rivers waited. This gave the fire
time to sweep completely across the
base Of the forest triangle, cutting off
the last trails of escape.
Then the wind shifted again, and the
fire swept north. The head Of the tri-
angle became a death-trap. All through
the night the southern sky was filed
with a lurid glow, and by morning the
heat and smoke and ash were suffOcat-
ing.
Panic-stricken. Kazan searched vain
ly for a means Of escape. Not for an
instant did he leave Gray Wolf. 1t
would have been easy for him to swim
across either Of the two streams, for
he was three-quarters dog. But at the
first touch Of water on her paws, Gray
Wolf drew back, shrinking. Like all
her breed, she would face fire and
death before water. KaZan urged. A

to spend a part Of the winter with
Henri Lott. the half-breed. He brought
with him plenty Of paper, a camera
and the photograph Of a girl. His only
weapon was a pocketknife.
And meanwhile Kazan and Gray
Wolf found the home they were seek
Ing In a thick swamp five or six miles
from the cabin that Henri Lott had
built.
