I S S S s s s s s I s s s t s A MIGHTY DRAFT. In a New Counfry The Pacific Coast’extension of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway now under tonstrtfc-’ tion, opens to-thosettler th&usands ofaored/of excellent agricultural land. Thenewcountryin Adatm, Hettinger, and Bowman Counties, North Dakota, and Butte County,. South Dakota, is now reached "by the hew track. The soil is a dark loam with clay subsoil, and produces in abundance wheat, oats, barley, spela, flax, corn and potatoes. The; land is well adapted to farming, good water is found / at a depth of from twenty to fifty ffeet, and the whole country is underlaid with lignit.e coal that out* crops-along4hestreams,and-inmostcases-canbe-hadioaihadigging. . ___ The climate is healthful, the air'is dry and invigorating, and the percentage of sunshiny days'is high. Outdoor work cab be done almost every day in the year. Rainfall is amply suffi- ** cient to raise the. crops. Regular mail service has been established, the roads are good, rural telephone lines traverse thd country, and automobiles are in common use, The deeded land in this district sells for from 510 to 518 per acre. There are many instances this year where the crop equalled in value, the cost of the land. ' In Butte County, South Dakota, there is considerable govornmentiand open for homestead entry. Government land offices are maintained at Lemmon, Hettinger and ftowman, where filings and final -^proofs may be made. All of these towns are on the new line of the ‘ . Chicago Milwaukee & S t Paul Railway In Montana, the'new"raiIroad traverses good farming land. It has been demonstrated that big crops of grain maybe raised,, Along theYellowstone and Mussellshell rivers, the water is used for irrigation, and phenomenal yields of alfalfa, sugarbeets, nud grain, are always certain. In the 'Judith Basin near Lewistown, Montamrffa one'of the most remarkable sections to be found on the new line. Undernatural rainfall, the famous bench jahds produced this year an average of 35 bushels of hard wheat to the acre, and,the price was 01cents per bushel. The basin contains about 1500 square miles and is sparselysettled. Some government land still remains open for settlement. A government land 0 office is maintained at Lewistown. In Fergus County, outside the Judith Basin, is one of thi greatest stock countries in theworld, and good ranches can be purchased at a reasonable figure. The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway Co. has established an immigration department for the purpose of assisting in the settlement and development of the new lands now being opened, Pamphlets descriptive of its resources will bo forwarded free on request. * F.

Lord ' Cromer twice rejected the proposal to send Gordon to the Sudan. “ Would," he says, “ that I had done so a third time." He soon woke to Gordon’s variability. lie sayat ’ "Impulsive fliglitiness was in fact the main defect of -General Gordon’s charac­ ter, and it was one which, in my opinion, rendered him unfit to carry out a work Which pre-eminently re­ quired a coot, and steady head,. 1 used to receive twenty to thirty telegrams from General Gordon in flie course of the day when he was in Khartum, those in the evening often giving opinions which it was impossible to reconcile with others dispatched the same morning" This stream of telegrams froip Khartum was so continuous that Lord Cromer had to adopt a special method of dealing with them. “ 1 generally found a batch of them waiting for me when I began my work in the morning," ho says, “My practice was to put them on one side and wait till the afternoon, by which time more had generally ar­ rived. I used them to compare the different telegrams, to try to ex­ tract from them what it was that General Gordon really wanted and then to decide what could be done toward carrying out his wishes." Lord Cromer says also: “ One of the leading features ,of General Gordon's strange character was his total absence of self control. He was liable to fits o f ungovernable and often of the most unreasonable passion. He formed rapid opinions without deliberation and rarely held to one opinion for Song. His jour­ nal, in which his thoughts from day to day are recorded, is, even in the expurgated form in which it was published, a mass of inconsist­ encies"'- ; General Gordon's courage is warmly praised by Lord Cromer, who says further; “Many a man be­ fore General Gordon has k id down his life at the call Of duty. Many a man, too, has-striven to" regard death as a glad relief from pain, sorrow and suffering. But no sol­ dier about to lead a forlorn diopc, no Christian martyr tied to the stake or thrown to the wild beasts of ancient Homo, ever faced death with more unconcern than General Gordon." fSKftSSHSS •was CASTOR IA ffor Infeat* and Children. ThiKindYoaHit*AlwaysBsughf Tit* Great Drink That Saved the Town o f Rctbenburg. lYhitsunticje of each year wit­ nesses in the historic town of Both- enburg, on the Ta her, the acting o f a drama which recalls a deliver­ ance in the Thirty Years* war, when the victories of Gustavufl Adolphus had endangered the Cath­ olic league. Tilly came to >besiege Bothen- burg, which was in league with the Swedes, The town was at that time Wealthy and well fortified, standing upon steep cliffs above the Tauber and liaviifg massive tower crowned walls. ^ with great guns that soon put for­ tune on his side. The defenders of the place, however, contested every inch of ground; Hot until the pow­ der tower exploded, through a gre­ nade of the enemy, did the Swedish garrison and citizens reluctantly hang out the white flag after a fight of thirty hours. Tilly would hear nothing of terms of capitulation. The Swedes might withdraw, but unconditional surren­ der was demanded of the town. When he had taken possession of the beautiful rathhaus he sent for the senate, with Burgomaster Be- zold at their head, and announced their condemnation to death . for their obstinate resistance and their disobedience to the imperial com­ manders. In vain did the women and chil­ dren crowd into the market place, throwing themselves at the feet of, the victors and begging, for mercy. Tilly had already summoned the ex­ ecutioner when some of the wives succeeded in penetrating into the council hall. * ! The conqueror at last allowed 'himself, to be softened, but be cou­ pled his clemency with a clause that apparently made it of no avail. The senators should be spared if one of their number could empty at a draft the great loving cup of Tauber wine presented to the. victor. ' Hopeless as the ease seemed, the condition was fulfilled. by ex-Bur- gomaster Kuseh, who thus saved his own life and. the lives of his col­ leagues. . * •The cup, which., is of glass and holds about three quarts, is to this day in the possession of one of the lineal descendants of the mighty drinker.—Chicago Record-Herald. Bear* th« Ants Build Skyscrapers. The white ants, or termites, are great builders. A naturalist explor­ ing in Somaliland came across a cone shaped mud and clay hill which, tKeyTbad constructed which was eighteen feet in height, while many others; were from ten to fif­ teen feet Ugh, When one com­ pares the size o f these an|s -with that o f him it becomes' apparent that these hills are real skyscrapers from tbe termite viewpoint}, i f there Is any.,. While the average man. is five end one-half feet high, the ants are only half an inch high. There­ fore a ten foot ant hill is 240 times the size of one of its builders, while such a structure as the Eiffel tower, though rising 984 feet, is only about: 179 times the height of the average man. .___ His Accursed Luck.

There was a man hanged for mur­ der in Sydney, Australia. By hia widow’s consent, his figure was ex­ hibited in a local wax works show.
