TRUE NORTHWESTERNER
RECALLS. EARLY DAYS /
ON RAGING MISSOURI

J. F. Chamberlain, a real north.
western pioneer, landed in the capital
city today for the first time in mum.
Der of years and discovered that the
town had not been standing still dur.
ing his absence. Mr.. Chamberlain first
SET foot in Bismarck in 1888, when he
was IA years old. He walked down to
the Missouri river wharves and hired
OUT as cabin boy on the S. S. Butte,
which in those days ran between Bis.
marck and Benton. The only town
between these two points on the Mis-
souri, in those days was Washburn
Andrew Johnson was captain of the
Butte, and Dick Corbett was the mate
The late Capt. Grant Marsh was one
Of the pilots. The Eutte burned up
a. Fort Peck, and the cabin boy, with
other members of the crew, walked all
the way to GlendiYe. Mont.
Mr.. Chamberlain now resides in St.
Paul. For many years he has been
one Of the nOrthwest's successful trav.
cling statesmen. and he has just had
Bismarck added to his territory. 1t
felt very much like coming homo
when he arrived in bismarck today.
and the first thing he did v'cs to take
a hike out to the river to obtain seeds
frcm the famous Missouri wild roses
which line the banks in such profu-
sion, and whose size and dainty per-
fume the former cabin boy recalled af-
ter all these years.

PRETTY SEN0RI1A IS A "HE"
Discipline Causes Soldier From Jefter-
son Barracks No End Of
Trouble.

Portland, Ore.-Discipline caused q
soldier from Vancouver barracks no
end of trouble here. The enlisted man,
while on a furlough, went to a mas
querade ball clothed as Spanish dam
cling girl. After the ball, while walk
ing to restaurant for supper, he
passed an officer, and promptly salut-
ed.
The spectacle Of a rather pretty
'girl" saluting aroused the officers
curiosity, and an investigation re-
vealed the true state of affairs.
1T is against the regulations for an
enlisted man to discard his uniform
during war times" said the officer.
Return at once to the barracks and
report to your commanding officer"
The soldier followed discipline again
and obeyed. The appearance Of a
dancing girl" within the army pre-
cincts caused more trouble, and as the
soldiers uniform was in Portland it
took some time to- straighten matters
out.
After being threatened with court
martial and other terrible things, the
officers took pity on the soldier and
let the incident pass with repr1-
mand.

st. Louis.-Louis p. Clark, now with

with wartime Inconvenience. He
says:
"When we got over here we were
billeted in a queer little French vii
lage. The house I got into had roof
oil punched full of holes. When it
rained water flooded the room. For
two nights as I slept rain trickled
down my neck. The third night sat
up. The fourth day I found a FIVE
gallon bucket and moved my cot to
where there was only a single hole
above. 1 nailed the bucket to a raft
err under the hole. It brimmed over
after four hours. The rest was easy.
I had an alarm clock down in my
pack. dug it out. That night set
it for 2 a. M, and at that hour I got
up and emptied the bucket. I did
that for several nights. Frenchmen
around the place thought was the
smartest guy they had ever seen or
heard of. Believe me, these fellows
are learning by watching the Yanks do
things"

REVERTED TO TYPE
Ferret's Night OFF an Orgy Of
Slaughter.
Little Killer Left Thick Trail Of Dead
Which He Had Destroyed for the
Pure JOY Of Saying, and
Went Home.

His mother was a ferret, lean, yell
low and pink eyed and Il she devil
to boot, says a writer in London An
swers.
His father was worse, q wild pole
cat of the mountains, and a worse
devil than ever.
But he, the cherub, was so soft aud
furry and fat ana creamy, and, though
he had got pink eyes, there seemed
to be nothing else of his mother and
father about him. He never bit, he
never spat, and he never used bad Ian
guage, and he lived upon bread and
milk like a gentleman.
So he was till the spring broke.
1t was their own fault, the ferret
ers. They took him out rabbiting, as
usual. They put a collar with bell
on round his neck, as usual, and a
long, long string on the collar, as
usual, and they turned him into a
rabbit warren, as usual And he
sneezed three times, as usual, and hs
walked docilely down the first rabbit
hole he came to, as usual, to turn out
the rabbits from their burrows, as
usual, that the sportsmen outside
might shoot them as they bolted.
So far, until he got into the middle
of the mazes Of tunnels, the inky dark
nesses, and the stuffy heat, full of
the smell Of castor oil-don't know
why, by the way-and he could hear
the drumming of rabbits feet fleeing
before his ghostly, terrible self. every
thing happened as usual. Then nothing
did.
He was pulled up with jerk that
nearly choked him. He tried going for
ward, but it was all no good. He
had only a yard of play either way
His line was entangled in a root.
The hours passed, and the ferreters
after trying every device known to
man to get him out, gave it up and
went home. The cherub did not give
it up. He worried slowly, and he
chafed, he pulled, and tugged, he
hacked, and he sweated, and he
sneezed, and finally his collar came
undone or broke.
The cherub sneezed three times, AMI
walked three yards. Then he realized
he was free. It was the first time in
all his life he had been free, and 1t
acted upon him. In that second hi.
mother, plus his father, got to wor.
in his own body, and he began.
It was really very clean killing. Fiji
teen rabbits done to death, each with .
single, clean fang stroke behind the
ears-was not so bad for one small
ferret. But he improved, for he slew
20 in the next hour-leaving every
carcass untouched where it lay-and,
getting thirsty, came above ground for
:ater. The water he did not find, but
i'scovered fowls in a fowlhouse in
'"cd. ard. as I said, being thirsty,

wis in t':at hen roost when he left.
