naughty Southern gentleman married
the relict-a union he would have
scarcely considered possible few years
ago-and now he leads with her a quiet,
hopeless life of Incidence among the
10 lntainS. He has no doubt good
wife and true; but what of the ambi-
tions of youth, or of the deeds he might
have done had he held to his true
sphere.
There are others. but these three
cases will serve to Illustrate the point.
Surround men by nature in her wild
mood, his companions were almost as
wild as nature, and how easily the eff
fects OF civilization vanish. The
CHARM OF CULTURED
life is lost for him, ard turning back
ward on himself, he gets as nearly as he
can back to the aboriginal simplicity or
existence. If it were only here or
there that one of these were found, the
fact would surely excite comment, and
their course would be easily accounted
for as the natural result of thWarted
aims and perverted nature. But they
are far from few. While all are not well
educated, most are naturally smart,
shrewd men who would stand out prom
inently in any community. 1t is impoS-

far enough to make the retrOgression
noticeable. Nearly all these
SELF-EXILED MEN
have their peculiarities i'll the way OF
thought. One died here a few years
ago in whose cabin was found the para
phernalia of an alchemiSt. He was
searching for the solution of the medi-
cine problem of transmulation of
metals. Another, with whom l am
well acquainted. has prepared two lee
lures; one on the Mother of Gold" the
other on the Universal Dig" Both
of these are strikingly unique in their
language and startling in the bold Origl-
nality of their thought. The author,
like the hero of Gray's ''Elegy," might
have accomplished mighty things had
his lot been differently cast. Some
day he, too, will be found dead in his
lonely cabin.
There is something strangely sad
about this seemingly Inevitable result
of COLDS influence on humanity, but it
is not alone in crowded cities the gilt
tering stuff lures men on to ruin, al
though the ruin in which a miner is
involved does not effect his moral ma
ture, which shines forth brighter than
the gold he seeks amid the wreck of his
one ambitious life, so that even the
cynical unbehOlding sill say:
LET not ambition mock their useful toll,
Their hourly joys, and destiny Obscure"

SIoUX FALLS, Sept. THE squirt of
the temperance people in enforcing the
local option law seems to have Spurted
itself out. During the last month a
few injunctions have been served and
few fines imposed. but nothing has been
accomplished toward closing the sa-
looms. They are not selling as openly
as Immediately after the passage of the
law, but those who know say that all
the saloons are doing just as good a
business as ever. Not word has yet
been said by any of the local papers on
the license-prOhibition question, al
though a year ago at this time the
county was crazy on the question.
There is abroad general feeling of
dissatisfaction with the law, which may
result in its repeal this fall, although
the leaders of the movement say they
are not afraid. Sioux Falls will cast Il
much larger vote against prohibition
than she did last year, but the country
may be able to save the measure, as it
did yearago.

has come along down the ages, gray
headed, blind and idiotic, has been in
session here for the past two weeks,
grinding away at ''blind pigs" largely
and orher matters slightly. Numerous
stories were put into circulation about
who was to be indicted and how this

and slaughtered by Father Justice all of
which has led to much discussion and
surmising and created no little nervous
ness among those whose rectitude of
life would hardly warrant free pass to
abodes of purity. 1t should, however.
be borne in mind that our people are
not so Shaky about little matter of in
dictment as they would be if they had
not had experience in this sort of thing

tiers as a sort of

ways up to the emergency, and what
might knock cultivated Fastener into
galloping consumption is only pas
time for the average CasS county Da-

clones in the summer and political fights
between meals and the powerful ozone
of this climate have hardened the APP
parently weak constitutions, both phys
ically and mentally. until nothing but
old Time and his bush hook can disturb
their serenity. This characteristic of
our people was we'll demonstrated by
those against whom indictments were
found this week. There were 143 of
them, and last Wednesday afternoon the

of whom will plead guilty and be fined
while others will stand trial, and few
will no doubt be convicted. Then the
farce will end with an expense to the

fines will amount to about $500, and
