The Majors Had Luck.

Major c. f. exceedingly fond of the
speaking OF tho way in which adverse
luck will sometimes pursue man, and
remarked that he once played whole
season at the White Sulphur SPRING and
never held n trump. Sornc one in tho
company suggested that that was impossi-
bic, because he must have held at least one
trump every time ho dealt the cards. But
the major replied, every time dealt IL
was 4 nisdcal.'
lie illustrated the same idea In another
way. He said he was once in party
when the proposition was made to throw
dice for drinks and cigars. lie threw scy-
erll timcg, and every time the dice came
out ace, deuce. IIo was ycxod and threw
them with all his might against the wall
OF tho room. When he went to pick them
up he was confronted with the saIno one
and two spots. lie went ~ the window
and pitched them az far as he could in the
yard.
The next day he felt like trying his luck
again, and not having another pair Of dice,
he went out into the yard to hunt them
up. STOPPING down and peering closely
into the grass, his eyes soon r"stci upon
the ace. lie was so mad that he made a
mental resolution that If the other die was
found with the deuce up lac would swal-
low them. He found it at last, and twas
the deuce. HcswalloweG them both forth
fully alarmed at what might be the conse-
qucnces Of his rash act, and took strong
ernctic. The dice were soon deposited on
the grass again. "And as sure as you
are alive" said the major, "there lay the
same old ace, deuce"

ION the day that the graves ofthe Federal SOL

few years ago, 2 number of lRsiics entered the

During the night = high wind arose. and In the

SovTII DAKOTA, if it were State,
would have 2,770,6OO acres of school
lands, which would provide the most
munilcent school fund in the Union.
In our present condition these lands are
not only unavailable, but are being rap
idly lost TO the State Settlement is
going far ahead OF the surveys, and
under the land laws squatters can hold
the school lands settled upon before
survey is made. Other lands within the
district may be chosen for school pur-
poses in lieu of those thus taken up
but even this opportunity will be lost
because no vacant land will remain to
choose from unless we become State
very soon. Thus the State is being
robbed OF its provision for the ednca-
tiun of its children, and is helpless to
prevent the irreparable loss. OF course
this will incur a heavy burden Of taxa
tion to maintain the public school sys-
TEN, which is now the heaviest item in
our tax lists. Yet there are plenty ot
people who say we cannot afford TO be a
State because Of the taxes necessary to
pay the bagatelle of official salaries
which would be compensated lifty-fold
by the saving in school tax. ., con.
