D., April 9.—President ; + Roosevelt traveled through familiar pountry yesterday and received hearty! greetings wherever his train stopped. 7 At many places he recognized old | triends, and from his conversation it | | was evident that it was one of the | most enjoyable days of his trip. At Fargo, Jamestown and Bismarck he} made stops of from half an hour to an hour and discussed the conditions in | \ the Philippines, the tariff and the gen- q eral prosperity the country is enjoy- = Ki was introduced to a number of Indian | ; chiefs, some of whom fought against | / Custer. He traded with two of these | | + {ndians eighteen or twenty years ago, | and he instantly recognized them. The esting ceremony of the day occurred at Medora, where the president at one | time owned a ranch, and which was | his postoffice address sixteen years } ago when he was sheriff of Billings | ing. Stops also were made at Cassel- ton, Tower, Valley City, the home of Goy.

WISCONSIN VOTERS DECIDE. 2 Comparatively Little Interest Taken | in the Election. Milwaukee, April — The judicial | election in Wisconsin passed off quiet- | ly yesterday. Judge Robert G. Sie- becker of Madison, judge of the Ninth circuit, was elected to the place or the | Wisconsin supreme bench made va- tant by the recent death of C. V. Bar- fleen. There was comparatively little interest taken in the election and in| many localities it was almost impossi- ble to secure complete returns. The | latest indications were that Judge Biebecker was elected by about four- fifths of the total vote. William Rugger of Janesyille, who declared i after his name was placed on the tick- | et that he was not a candidate, was f given almost as many votes as Moritz | Witte of Milwaukee, the third candi- ‘Wate. There was no change in the four circuits that elected judges. The proposed amendment to the constitu- tion increasing the number of justices of the supreme court from five to peven, undoubtedly carried. Compar- ively few mayors were elected in the tate and there were few changes. LABOR FUEL COMPANY. Union Miners Incorporate With Large Capital.

RESID), Easter Pastimes to Much Easter amusement can be se- cureg from eggs made into a variety | of objects, such as great purple plums, watermelons and fine radishes, says the Delineator. To prepare them color some eggs and make the eggs all solid hues, some a rich purple, some red, Fig. 1 | others brown or light green, one or two dark green. Begin by making the radish. Gum a leaves | cut from Figure 1 on the big end of the red eggs. Fold each leaf length- wise through the center, according to the dotted line; then slip a hat pin or the back of the blade of a table | knife tight up in the fold and, holding the leaf in place with the right hand, | gradually push it up together on the blade with the left hand; this gives the leaf a natural crimped appearance (Fig. 2).. Take a small piece of raw cotton and dip it in the dye, or, better still, color it with a little crushed red crayon; then pull the cotton into the Fasten this red point on the end of the egg and the egg will be a radish (Fig. 4). Use a dark green egg to make the baby watermelon. Mark uneven, lengthwise hands around it with a soft lead pencil, and fasten in the stem with sealing wax. Bore a hole in the \large end of.the melon, making the opening big enough to admit the end of a small curved swig, which must form, the stem; put on enough sealing wax to secure firmness (Fig. 5). Convert the purple egg into a plum | by fastening it on the natural twig in | the same way you stick the melon on its stem. Gum two green tissue-paper leaves to the branch for the foliage (Fig. 6). The funny big acorn must likewise be attached to a stem, and on its small end you should fasten with seal- Amuse the Children ing wax a leaf bud from the lilac bush; if that cannot be had make the little point of cotton. Let a band of .colored raw cotton or crumpled tis- sue paper be glued on to form the edge of the acorn cup (Fig. 7). A neat little tea pot, one from which tea can really be poured out of the saucy wee spout, blow the contents from an egg. Have the sealing wax, if possible, of a soft gray color, deli- cate brown or quiet gray-green. With a sharp scissors cut a round hole in each end of the shell and another small one in the side a small distance from the top as an opening for the spout. Soaking the shell in warm water for nearly half an hour will render it: less brittle. Make the bot- tom of the teapot of a round piece of stiff paper, cover the upper side of the paper all over with melting sealing wax and before the wax hardens set the shell down on it. For greater security drop melted sealing wax en- tirely around the bottom where it joins the shell, as in Fig. 9. ‘The spout (Fig. 10) should be cut from. stiff paper, also the handle (Fig, 11); fas- ten both on the egg-shell with sealing wax in their respective positions, fol- lowing the dotted lines. When fin- ished test the teapot to make sure it is waterproof; then more than half fill it with water and have the fun of pouring the water in a tiny stream out of the spout. If the, teapot leaks the least bit fill the crack with sealing wax. Be sure that the little gift is in perfect order before it leaves your sands. Having completed the teapot, the sugar bowl will be easy work. Use two strips of paper for the handles; fasten them on. with sealing wax, and set the round bottom of the half egg~ shell in the, soft, sealing wax. which you have dropped on a.circular bit of paper. The paper being flat will give the sugar bowl a level stand, enabling’ it to set erect and firm. (Fig. 12).

It used to be.a custom among good Christians to salute one another with a kiss, but now, although indiscrimi- nate osculation is no longer kept upon Easter morning, the habit, which is as old as the human race, still prevails, most desirably in shades of evening and with limited audience. © Although ma men. a BT written to this paper regarding the prospects of Western Canada and its great possi- »bilities, it may not be uninteresting, to give the experience of a woman. set- tler, written to Mr. M. V. McInnes, the~ agent of the government at Detroit, Mich. If the reader wishes to get further information regarding Western Canada it may be obtained by writing any of the agents of the Government whose name is attached to the adver. tisement appearing elsewhere in this paper, The following is the letter referred | to: Hilldown, Alberta, Feb. 5, ’03. Dear Sir—I have been here now nearly five years, and thought I would write you a woman’s impression of Western Canada—in Alberta. There are several ranchers in this district who, in addition to taking care of their cattle, carry on farming as well; their herds of cattle number from 100 | to 200 or 300 head, and live out all winter without any shelter than the poplar bluffs, and they come in in the spring in good order. Most of the ranchers feed their cattle part of the | time, about this time of the year, but IT have seen the finest fat cattle I ever Saw that never got a peck of grain— only fattened on the grass. You see I have learned to talk farm since I came here—farming is the great bust ness here. I know several in this district who never worked a day on the farm till they came here, and the done well and are getting well off. I think: this will be the garden of the Northwest some day, and that day not very far distant. There has been @ great change since we came here, and there will be a greater change in the next five years. The winters are all anyone could wish for. We have very little snow, and the climate is fine and healthy. Last summer was wet, but not to an extent to damage crops, which were a large average | yield and the hay was immense—and | farmers wore a broad smile accord | ingly. We have good schools, the govern ment pays 70 per cent of the expense of education, which is a great boon in a new country. Of course churches of different denominations follow the settlements. Summer picnics and win- ter concerts are all well attended, and as much, or more, enjoyed as in the East. Who would not prefer the pure air of this climate with its broad acres of fine farms, its rippling streams, ita beautiful lakes, its millions of wild flowers, its groves of wild, fruit of exquisite flavor, its streams and lakes teeming with fish and its prairies and bluffs with game, to the crowded and stiff state of society in the East. J would like to go home for a visit some time, but not to go there to live, even if presented with the best farm | in Michigan. Beautiful Alberta, I will , never leave it. And my verdict is only a repetition of all who have settled in this country. This year I believe will add many thousands to our population. And if the young men, and old men also, knew how easy they could make a home free of all incumbrance in this country, thousands more would have | settled here. I would sooner have 160 acres here than any farm where 1 care from in Michigan, but the peo- ple in the East are coming to a know} edge of this country, and as they do, they will come West in thousands, All |, winter people have been arriving in Alberta, and I suppose in other parts as well, which is unusual, so we ex: pect ® great rush when the weather gets warmer. We have no coal famine here. Coal can be bought in the towns for $2 to $3, according to distance from the mines, ; and many haul their own coal from the mines, getting it there for 50 cents | toa dollar a ton.

Isn’t the Bible better?” “No, sir. It’s pretty good, though. I can stand on my tiptoes on it and reach the jam shelf. But the dic- tionary is better.”—Brooklyn Eagle. PATENTS.
