He owes to that commu- nity the fulfillment of the duties of citizenship, a clean, honorable life and a consistent, intelligent ef- fort to advance its interests. Some men look upon life as a great game of grab und regard the man who grabs the niost as the most successful and loudly applaud him. Men who act upon this idea are nothing but big fish devouring the little ones. It has frequently been proved that the way to meet the ojection that an undertaking is impossible of accomplishment is to tackle the undertaking and go right ahead with thorough confidence in the outcome. Doubtless Alfonso is anxiously awaiting the day when the Mbroc- cans shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks and learn war no Moor. Joy riders, boat rockers and those who point loaded guns \ just for fun\ scent to vie with each other in preventing a too rapid in- crease of population. \ War is hells\ said Genern1 W. T. Sherman; and of all wars the most hellish is the \holy\ war. • The man behind the plow is mightier than the ,man behind the the gun. RAND '6ROWT11 SETTLERS FILLING UP COUNTRY ABOUT ROUNDUP. This Year's Crop Prospects Reported to be Very Promising. [FROM 'ROUNDUP ELECtoltD.] How Roundup have any idea of the rate at which the vacant land is being taken up! In twenty-seven townships sur- rounding Roundup there are five hundred and thirty quarter sec- tions taken tip in some way or an- other, mostly homesteads, some stone and timber claims, and a few coal filings. Land is being taken before U. S. Commissioner Cook at the rate of one ta two thousand acres a week, and among the home- steaders are a far larger percent- age of practical farmers than for- merly. Very few of the dwellers in Roundup have seen anything of the country except between town and No. 2 mine. If they hear of homestead filing they imagine it somewhere near Lake Mason. As a matter of fact the lake basin represents a small portion of the country which is being developed into farms. An expanse of level bench lands lying between Willow and Flatwillow creeks begins about six miles northeast from Roundup and extends to a greater or less width for more than thirty miles. There are more homesteads on it now than on the low lands along Willow creek, and it is not yet all taken up. The bench land is the best. The soil contains more lime- stone, which is the principal wheat producing element, and the higher levels to this country catch the most rain. Over west, near Womea's Pock- et, Horse Thief, and Pole creeks, there are a lot of homesteads. The country is more broken and, con- tains some timber, hut there are some vely ' fine stretches of slight ly rolling land. Clear over in 8- 27, twelve to fifteen miles south- west from town, there are thirly• eight homesteads taken up. Up in the Little Snowies, or in other words the long spur which extends eist from the Snowy mountaine, and which is all strict- ly Roundup territory, there are scores of quarters taken up. There are little valleys watered by beau- tiful mountain streams, the bot- tom lands of whl*ttre sown to forage crops and - grain. There is also some cultivation of the higher levels toward the summit of the spur. Crops are more backward at that high altitude than down near the Musselshell, but the abut:clout rainfall and fertile soil assure abundant yields, The total acreage in crop this year is not very large, bet it is scattered all over, and in every ease is in magnificent condition. Jusper Bricker and John Wisner, Six miles northe est, have 150 acres which promise a record-hreakiug yield. M. M. Klein has a field o winter wheat up on Ilalfbreed creek which looks like about fifty bushels to the acre. On the land of Jensvold Brothers, where the state experiment station is being installed, there is about eighty acres in crop, all in gotal shape except some winter wheat which Was planted too late last fall and may not go over twenty to twenty- five hushels. Jack Ryan has thir- ty acres this side of Jensvolds. The homesteads Clint were taken up as far hack as lest fall will av- erage about five sores. This yeitr's svacTet.7 - wilt ' inspire the settlers to develotio their land more rapidly than before. The croaking of some of the old stock- men.and the generally dry appear- ance whieli this country can put on three days after a heavy rain, have kept them about half out of confidence, and they have not as a rule gotten the horses and machin. cry to farm the land right. The world looks different to them now they can see the crops. In two years' time there will be ten to fifteen hundred quarters of land, more or less, under success- ful cultivation in the country which is now tributary to Round- up. Will Publish Ibek. Billings, Aug. 11.—Active prep- arations are being carried on at the headquarters of the Marten ' s Board of Control of tire Fourth Dry Farming Congress for the publication of the ' advance book which will announce the coming congress to be held at Billings. to be held at Billings October 25- 28, in connection with which w I be held the International Dry Farm Exposition.

DANCE IN CHURCH CURIOUS SVIVIVAL OF CUSTOM OF THE MIDDLC AGES. Cathedral at Seville, Spain, the Scene of Remarkable Ctremcnial of Which the Origin Is Lott In Antiquity. -- Not one of the many relics of the middle ages, with which ispain sUit abounds, Is more curious titan the dancing before the altar which takes place v.t:ty evening during the oc- taves of the Immaculate Conception (December 8 to 151 and Corpus Dom lei (throe days after Ascension day) In the cathedralpf Seville. This church is the largest Gothic cathedral in the world. It is IR by no fewer than 83 windows and is veritable museum of art but the crowning glory of this venerable pile Is Its fifteenth and sixteenth century stained glass, the designing of which is upon doubtful apthorlty ascribed to Raphael, Titian aria Michael An. vim It is within this wonderful edi. flee, says the Pall Mall Uazette, that takes place the most quaint ritual of all Christendom. The dance is performed by two rows of choristers or seises, numbering IC, or 12 (formerly it was six), Seariug plumed hats and dressed as pages of the Lime of Philip Ill.; the colors of the clort•as vary; for the Oe (eve of Corpus Doniini they are red and white, while blue and white are worn during the immaculate Concep- tion. To the slow music of violins this dance (which Is a sort of minuet) Is solemnly performed, devoid of all ir. reverence and levity. At the December festival the vast iehurch is in darkness, save for tne lights of the high altar, and the et feet is most imvessive. The chant:. Which the choristers break out into merely add to the solemnity of the cue. casion, which Is cot in the least de- gree lessened by the sound of the cas- tanets tbe seises play. There are two sets of music. and they are used upon alternate eveninrs, the sale of which is jealously guarded against by the chapter. A legend says this singular ritual originated at the time of the siege of Seville by some boys going out to Al - cats, wheie they danced before the Moorish army, which they so delight- ed that they were able to detain them While the Spaniards manned the walls: but really the origin of this \dancing\ Is quite obscure. Another Interesting legend relates that a certain archbishop of Seville about 200 years ago wished to sup- press this ritual, but the citizens, to- gether with the canons, gave such op- position that there was quite a tte malt, and the matter was referred to Rome. The pope of that time wish- ing to see the dance, the choristers were taken to the Eternal City, where they performed before the head of Christendom, who merely laughed, but to please the -archbishop and at the same tune to appease the canons he said the dancing might continue until the clothes were worn out: to. avoid this the dresses, which are fif striped silk, have always been partially re stored at a time, and no* they bid fair to last forever. The other legends are connected With the Jews of Toledo, who formed the only community of medieval Europe that was not confined to e Ghetto, with all ifs persecuting regu tattoos:\ One of the reasons given for this Is that at the time of the cruci- fixion, or a title before, the Senile - drill of Jerusalem sent around to all the Jewish colonies asking whether or not the Christ was the long expect. ed Messiah, and the Jews of this cite were the only ones who returned an affirmative answer, for which they re- ceived their freedom. A,nother legend says the cause of this singular circumstance was that when the Chriatlans endeavored to confine these Jews to a ghetto the lat. ter proved (hat before the crucifixion their ancestors were thing in Tole and so they were gulltlesa of that crime ulfference of Opinion. Mrs. Cobden-Sandorson thinks that American women, with the possible exception of Chicago women, are too much interested in their own individ- ttality and think too little of the com- munity, in other words are lacking in civic pride. In England, she says, there is not the sharp line between men's interests and women's Interests, but the relicemen who are detailed to keep the ladles out of the house of commons may .have a different optnton on the Gabled. 1 There are things, It is a comfort to know, which even a man cannot do and a man is supposed to he able to do almost anything. Now a novelist rsy put his hero ine's hat on her head at any angle he cheoses—it is tate of the few privi- leges of womanhood— and have her not u bit less charming or dignified. but I defy him to put his hero's hat at a rowdy angle over his ear at a crucial point In his career and leave him edit heroic! The Achilles heel of it man Is his hat. He must geerd that all he does his reputation, for it Is at once his strength and weakness, says a write, In Putnam's Monthly. It would hurt an archbishop loss is the eyes of the public to commit $ crime than to wear his hat on the back of his sacred head—real back , — and so exhibit himself to his distress. ed dioces4). Still, if he is so In.-rine& why should not a good and great man wear his hat over his nose without creating on favorable comment? The fact is, ha cannot. lie is ruled by convention, and convention is red tape Of SO The castlron laws of fashion, whicb Is only another name for conventlbn, are such that if tlie greatest man is England were to walk with all hi. so cuatomed dignity front the Marble Arch to the bank with a trailing Pels cock's feather attached to the UM of his silk hat he would be followed by a mob in iv\ seconds and by the time he reached Vere street the out, raged majesty ef the taw would take him into custody as a suspicious Ow &der.
