I'hc IIiseries Of Large Cities.

Some Of the miseries of London low
life are painted in ghastly colors by
tie agents of citizens society which
is making efforts to supply ''balls and
coffee houses in various parts Of the
city. 1t is pointed out, for example,
that out OF 2,290 persons living in
consecutive houses at Bow Common
only eighty.eight adults and forty
seven children ever attended any
kind of Sunday services, while in one
street, Leicester Square, containing
24G families, only twelve are said to
be represented in church or chapel.
The squalor and degradation, the
filth and vretchedness Of the "homes"
Of these people is shocking beyond
comprehension. The poverty Of
many who strive to live honestly is
described as appalling. In St.
George e's-in tLe-East large numbers
OF women. and children as young as
seven years, are employed at sack
making at q cent apiece. Shirt fin
ishers who earn sixpence day think
they do we'll.
Every great city has to tell just
such stories as the above. There is
just rs much misery in Paris IS in
London. But. class for class, the
inhabitants Of the French capital are
rather more cheerful than their
neighbors across the Channel. The
Partisan artisan of little higher rank
than the people just referred to has
good deal of amusement in the course
Of his life. For the majority Of
workmen, Sunday once a month is a
holiday. On the afternoon Of ''pay
Sunday the frce.handed laborer is
apt 10 take his family beyond the
barrier for q walk in the country.
They have simple dinner at a cheap
restaurant, and wander in the woods,
picking flowers in their season and
generally enjoying themselves. Sat
urday evening is the favorite time for
Tie theatre. On Sunday a few visit
the galleries, Further down the
scale there IS, Of course, dissipation
rather than enjoyment in q rational
way, The dance halls prove the
ruin OF many youths. 1t is but q
step from them to the haunts Of crime
and the ''mysterlcs Of Paris" about
which sensational authors write.-

osities of agriculture on the eastern

The trouble which is upon Us is
not one Of intention on the part of
any class Of our people, but it re-
suits from the fact that agriculture
is the controlling and leading in
dustry Of our State, and q system has
been established, under the stimulus
Of high prices for cotton succeeding
the war, which has been sapplng the
resources Of the planters of the State
until a very large proportion Of them
have become embarrassed, and in
their embarrassment have crippled
all the branches Of business with
which they deal. It is almost i'm
possible to check the evil which
comes on us from this system. TO
prosper. we must raise our supplies
at home, and not depend on buying
them out of . cotton crop that hardly
sells for enough to pay the expenses
Of raising it.

cause when the former are good it is
cheaper to haul farm produce than to

In many instances the opium eating
habit has been contracted through the
use o%fnarcotics, prescribed by physicians
during sickness. Many remedies which
claim to cure coughs contain morphia

Star Cough Cure, is entirely free from
these dangerous ingredients, and the

Cheap and Practical Straw Barner.

O-O~@
Some time since the Dakota Farmer,
THAT best of all agricultural papers fol-
our farmer friends), contained a sugges-
ton for constructing a cheap straw burn
Ell. The method was so cheap and sim
pie that a number of subscribers tried it;
among the number being parties in Hand
county, DaK. The idea suggested was
somewhat improved on, and the interest
in the simple little invention grew until
today the demand for the Dakota Farm
er Straw Burner can hardly he supplied
in that neighborhood, and one timer
alone has constructed and sold over fifty
of them in less than two weeks. The in
vention is not patented and can be used
by any one, and is just as good as though
1t cost ten times the actual amount neces-
sary to make it. 1t can be made readily
by any timer and need not cost over IS,
allowing u reasonable profit. The fol.
lowing are. some Of the testimonials Of
this simple invention from practical
farmers. Read every one of them and
satisfy yourselves that you can save the
larger part of your coal bills this winter.

mind constantly, though only to his
most intimate friends was known the
full measure of his voiceless grief, ever
present, ever uppermost in his mind.
1t was during q sleepless night on his
last visit to Yankton, when the town was
wrapt in slumber and only the moon
and stars kept vigil Over his innermost
thoughts, that he sought the familiar
surroundings Of his old, happy Yankton
home. and there in the shadow of the
familiar trees communed with past mem
ories-with the hallowed r~ecollections
which enshrine a mortal love gone to the
joys Of Immortality. But a few brief
days have fled and he is with her on the
other shore. Was it the indefinite
prompting Of that something We know
naught of which led him to this last
silent survey Of the scene ofhappy days,
then living only as a memory? We do
not need to write words of praise in be-
half of the deceased. His record among
Dakotaians is his eulogy. He has always
been true, always been honorable, always
been just. No man ever suffered wrong
at his hands. His last written words,
the letter Of the GOTH to Gen. Campbell,
are words Of good will and encourage
ment to South Dakota, of sincere pat.
riotism and hopefulness for all of Dako.

his death: Mr.. Raymond wa one Of the
truest and best Of men: lie was honor
able in all things and a true friend and
excellent neighbor. His fortune was
badly impaired by his candidacy for Con-
gress when Mr.. Pettigew was nominated.
He was nominated to succeed Mr..
Pettigrew without effort or solicitation
upon his part and then slaughtered
when a candidate for reelection, prin-
cipally because he did not humble him
self to ask the favor Of leading elements
in Dakota politics. lie died broken
hearted from the loss Of his wife, from
his unjust defeat and in financial dis
tress, and through his death Dakota
