Leap year comes but once In four ears and leap year dances uo of- cner. "Buz , " went telephones around the own. "Hello , " came men's high iltched voices. "Is this Mr. ? " Yes. " "Well , this is Mr. talking ; say , old man , what are you going to , -ear tonight ? " Wives laughed at the questions pro- lounded for once by men. And the eke of it was , the men were in ear- est. It was a complete success the par- , y. There were eighty couples there and for once all the belles had all heir dances taken. There was nell ll flower business among the ladies. They filled the programs early In the game and did it well. But the poor inpopular men but perhaps the cur- aln of charity may best be drawn. And there were odd experiences. One married man began receiving In- citations for the dance several days igo. At least a dozen feminine voices over the telephone asked him to go ivlth them to the leap year party. He accepted them all , thinking it was a oke. But it proved mighty serious. A. half hour before dance time he waa preparing to go with his wife the liousemald called up that there was a caller for him. He went down. To ils amazement he found a woman A'hom he had never seen in this world iiet'ore. But he was game. He went with the stranger. And just for that le refused to dance with his wife all evening he thought she had been the uilty planner of the joke. DRUG STORE HURT IN RUNAWAY Queer Victim of Frightened Horses Up at Butte.

Scofleld , now of Butte , Is out several hundred dollars because a big team of horses ran off with his drug store , scenting the air of the village of Jamison with rare perfume. Scofleld decided to move his Jami son drug store over to Butte. The drug stock made several loads but a lot of the more valuable show cases and drug supplies were packed in a hay rack. It was the big team that was hitched to the hay rack which broke loose , ran away and finally bumped up against a livery barn , al most killing one of the horses and destroying stock and fixtures on a terrible and extensive crash. The perfume stock was In the smash-up FELL TWENTY-FIVE FEET. Battle Creek Boy Breaks Arm in Fall From Tree.

Mr. Preuner was standing on a limb and cutting away the one above , which , when It fell dislodged him and he was thrown to the frozen ground twenty-five feet below. It was several hours before the young man could be brought to town and an examination by Dr. Taunei disclosed a seriously Injured righl arm , the bone being badly broken above the elbow.

FRESH , CRISP AIR AND OZONE. Despite Clouds and Mud , Tuesday's Air Was Balmy and Stimulating. While Tuesday morning looked murky overhead and was sticky under foot , there was something In the air between heaven and earth that made It a day that was good to bo out Infer for humans. For in spite of the thick , heavy clouds that hung all over the skies and In spite of the wet , soft , sticky mud that you had to walk In , the air was crisp and fresh and clear and had about It a perfume that sa vored of the sawmill regions of the southland the fragrant aroma that comes from the sap and the sawdust of the fresh cut timber in Indian Ter ritory or Louisiana. There was that in the Tuesday morning air in Norfolk that filled up the lungs to their fullest capacity with stimulating , Invigorating ozone. There was a tonic in the breeze that floated up from the south that made all mankind feel more alert and more equal to the day's work ahead. There was just enough of the tone of the springtime atmosphere to make ono want to stay out In the open all day long and never go Inside of a stuffy , overheated office room to toil. There was just enough of the April balm , just enough of the summertime's dew In the air to make one turn to the treetops expecting to find green branches spread all about and to look for the robins returned from winter's den.

At that time the Holdobers lived on farm between Wayne and Wakeileld mid It was from there that they dis appeared one day in harvest time , caving their grain uncut and the cat tle and other stock In the yard.

NDICATIONS POINT TO OPENING THIS FALL. ROSEBUD PEOPLE PREPARING Secretary Garfield of the Interior De partment Recently Mentioned Trlpp as One of the Counties to be Thrown Open This Year. Gregory Advocate : It seems to be in ashuird fact that Tripp county will > pen this coming fall. While this bus teen the general opinion for some time yet nothing really dellnlte about ho matter until Secretary Garlleld of the Interior department made his an- uial report which bus just been pub lished. In speaking of the various Indian eservatlons that are to bo opened this year he speaks of Tripp county and ulds that the necessary steps are now loing taken to the opening of these amis. Word also comes from Lamro that the allotting agent has received word 'rom Washington not to accept any nore new applications for allotments n Trlpp county , and notices have joen pobted to that effect. Bver since the bill for the opening of Trlpp county passed both houses of congress the Indians have been very slow to choose their allotments and he allotting has been slow work , ow- .ng to the large number of details to > e looked after before an allotment can be made. During the past year , 78C allotment ! } were made. These have all been sent to Washington for approval. There are yet 311 Indians to be allotted in Trlpp county. Allotting Agent Schriven stated last fall that he expected to complete his work by June or July , provided there wore no new applications , and now that the government has Issued orders that no new applications can be made , 10 will no doubt complete ills work in that time. If one Is to judge by the letters that ire pouring Into the town , inquiring about these lands , the rush next sum mer will be the greatest ever experi enced at a land opening. We have been informed from a very reliable source that the registration points in this county will be those towns most accessible to the land and that Greg' ory will be one of them. ATCHISON GLOBE SIGHTS. Today we actually saw a man pay a bill cheerfully. Will the women ever realize that they cannot all be queen bees ? Everyone Is compelled to pay for experience ; no one gets It for nothing. When people force themselves to be pleasant , they oftener annoy than please. A woman who loves intensely is as dangerous as a man who hates in tensely. You can tell by the looks of some men that they believe In a profusion of capital letters. Attempt to cure a spoiled child of a bad habit , and he wants to know what you will pay for it. It never inspires a boy to hear his parents talk of the money they are laying by for his education. All the "world laughs at a rich man's jokes ; all the world regards the poor man as a Joke to laugh at. When the water handed you is from a well on the place , you are expected to rave over it the same as over the cooking and the baby. The women are Itching for the new spring gooda to arrive at the stores ; the women want to paw them over , and see what they are like. A milliner says that every woman who ever tried on a hat in her store first said by way of preparation ; "My hair Isn't fixed right. " .Fremont Railroad Men to Dance.
