rings Sioux Falls rings or any other
kind of rings, and each ring may want
to set up the pins to its advantage, yet
there is a way of breaking these rings
and uniting in one grand movement
for the benefit of all. Let all the vari-
Gus districts come together and form
some plan Of concerted action, and as
much as possible throw aside former
entanglements. Let the old warehouses
come forward, not as dictators but as
co-workers, and join hands with their
opponents. Let the chronic otlice-seek-
er be teld to step aside or fallinto rank
as a private. Let not the question Of
how you a secure the preferment Of
your favorite candidate, but how best
you can promote the public interest, be
your motive. If there be any who have
not the public welfare sufficiently at
heart to sacrifice some private interest
or ome personal feelings, it is time

1t is amusing, and in some cases, al
most disgusting to see how much peo-
pie tell and think about themselves.
1t seems to be the same thing every
where and in every locality. 1t is true
we meet with a great many modest Ia
dies and gentlemen but there is a major
ity on the other side. Ministers are
equally as great sinners in this respect
as other people, and in many cases more
so. Among literary men this peculiar
ity is wonderfully prominent; they ex-
pound their theories and laws with such
an ostentatious air that would crush
the cheek of a train butcher on a Dako-
ia passenger train. They PROFOUND
their own affairs with a tenacity that
would almost put to shame the ener-
getic ant. In all their stories they
manageto give themselves the most
prominent part, and wear a look of suf-
1ering magnanimity if they are forced
to listen to some one else.-Times'
Fort Hale has been evacuated by the
troops SO long stationed there, and the
Lower Brule Indians are. left without
the restraining influenced fgoyernment
force. 1t is not many years since these
Indians were considered about the
worst Of the Sioux family, but liberal
rations OF coffee, meat flour; salt and
soap may have tanned their savage
hearts. Fort Hale is located near
Chamberlain. Its former military oc-
cupants have gone to Fort Sisseton.

she broke into a flood of tears that
