Too True.

In crowd Of ten men, said a Ne
braska lawyer recently, you will find
nine who have mistaken their calling.
Heaven born orators are carrying hods;
athletics are preaching the gospel; bril-
liant writers are shocing horses. I
know editors that ought to be driving
street cars, and know car drivers who
ought to be practicing law. I know sur
geons who ought to be saving wood,
and Wood-cutters who ought to saving
bones. There are convicts in the peni-
tentiary who ought TO be occupying
places of honor and trust, and there are
people occupying places of honor and
trust that ought to be in the peniten-
tiary,

Rapid City Journal The CANTON
ADVOCATE displays enterprise in Sc
curing and publishing the opinions of
leading Dakotans on the questions of
division and admission, but after all it
does not seem that such opinions can
have much weight in settling the ques-
tions. Ths matter is now in the hands
of congress, and its discussion by Da-
kotans will have no further bearing,
one Way or the other.

HOW They no Kick,

Minneapolis Star-News: There is
one long winded brayer in Dakota who
never loses an occasion to squeeze his
division chestnut bagpipe. The latest
opportunity afforded him was in the
Carter Bros scheme to get an express
ion of opinion from prominent men on
the subject of division. Hugh j.
Campbell is one of the first to come to
the front with a wierd, wild yell of
fraud" against the Aberdeen conven-
ton. He probably thinks he is paid to
entertain the public. and offers this as
Joke.

White Lake Times: The CANTON
ADVOCATE comes to us weekly wrap
ped in chattel mortgage blanks,
marked ''original.' Does that mean
that the idea was original and that a
chattel mortgage blank is the only prop
er wrapper for a newspaper? THE
ADVOCATE is too good paper to mod
estly curl itself up in such a drepreca.
BILE, suggestive covering and we hope
that the cause is an accident rather
than intent.

Which Is the Greater ImDOrtAnce:

Huronite: The people Of Dakota
want two states. They have abundant
territory to make two, each of which
will be larger than the average state:
and there is every promise that the
population here will soon exceed in
density that of the average state. Can
it be so very important to the rest of
the country-to the south and New
England-to keep out two senators and
two electoral votes, and not at all i'm
portant for the northwest to insist upon

| Will Brown is still a sufferer with
spinal rheumatic fever, but hopes are
entertained for speedy recovery.
DR.. G. H. Fulford came down from
Sioux Falls last week on professional
visit to Will Brown. He arrived on the
morning freight, walked one mile in
snow knee deep, and returned to Selma
in time to take the north-bound passen-

Those who were present at the
Christmas tree at the residence of Jas.
Sharp speak Of it as very fine affair,
and one of the new ochemes in the af-
fair was dandy supper which all pres
ent enjoyed immensely.
Mr.. Stilwell, who resides on the Gil
bert Hays farm, has set an example for
farmers that the present snow-bound
roads makes valuable, and that is a sur
plus OF coal on hand, hauled before the
roads were blocked. 90
Several New Year dinners for ''our
own folks" were reported, but no en-
regale, and the minor gobbler was suf-
ficient in each case.
The Christmas tree at Wardwell
school house is reported to have been a
very fine affair, at which old Santa did
his best.
Notwithstanding the impeded state
of the roads Mr.. Schaeffer, the treasur-
er in school district number %, made
connections at CANTON and promptly
dropped down load Of coal at the
school house.

Lots Of snow, but it does not seem to
have any effect upon the whirl of So
cial doings. One Of the latest events
was the besiegeing of Geo. Clay's bach

crowd Of neighbors. George was just
setting down to his lonely-his own
fault, too, when he might have part
ner just for the asking-but substan-
tial supper, last Thursday evening,
when the descent was made, and then
until morning hour a hilarious and
time was enjoyed. A bounti
full supply OF edibles was brought along
by the visitors, and to say George was
not happy man for once in his life
would be drawing it mild. They do
say that this lonely bachelor now stands

sermon delivered Sunday, Dec. 9th, in
