few occasions have Yankton people en-
Logged q lecture more thoroughly.
This Mornfpg.
DR.. Duryea's address this morning was
upon the truthful method OF studying
the bible, which il carefully followed is
highly prolific Fresh light upon any
one subject interests people and fresh
light is constantly needed, in order to
keep up interest. To study the bible
properly and with the best results the
student should select one leading idea,
as it is first suggested in the old testa-
ment, and follow it carefully, through
both books, and mark its development.
| By watching and studying the great
teachers of the bible nnd noting the
ideas most prominent in their works, the
great ideas of the bible may be found.
Repeated words also suggest leading
ideas. II am satisfied that
we blundered seriously III giving
up the theory of the verbal inspirsti ton
OF the bible writers. ''The biblical writer's
were certainly selected for their many
qualifications, and one of their qualif-
cations must have been their ability to
express tersely and completely the
Psalmist's idea IN words. Two OF the
creates. ideas suggested in the old
testament are SIP and righteousness
These are two contrary ideas and they
furnish matter for the deepest study
Faith is another leading idea. Faith is
particularly q leading idea, as it has an
important relation to revelation or the
importing OF truth. Faith in all the
characters OF the old testament was al
ways rewarded by revelation. In the
early part of the old testament nothing
abiding to the future state of the soul
is found. Moses did not teach ,mmor-
tality. Future life needed to be given
an ethical and spirltua,
value before it could bt
taught end the development If faitt
in the old testament was contemporaries
Gus with revelation. At the time Of
Christ Immortality was an accepted
doctrine and the history of the old tests'
ment shows the slow development oil
revelation as d reward to the faithful
God rewarded faith by revelation and
because he did that, those who wer'
faithful had faith that he would lool
after the welfare OF his own. Ihos'

brew and Greek should make good us

OUR LITTLE BOY BLUE.
The little TOW dog is covered with dust,

The little toy dog is covered with dust,
But sturdy and staunch he stands,
And the little toy soldier is red with rust,
And his musket molds in his hands.
Time was when the little toy dog was new
And the soldier was passing fair,
And that was the time when our Little Boy
Blue
Kissed them and put them there.
''Now don't you go till come, -" he said,
And don't you make any noise
So toddling off to his trundle bed
He dreamt of the pretty toys.
And as he was dreaming an angel song
Awakened our Little Boy Blue
Oh, the years are many, the years are long,
But the little toy friends are true.
Aye, faithful to Little Boy Blue they stand
Each in the same old place,
Awaiting the touch of a little hand,
The smile of little face.
And they wonder, as waiting these long years
through,
In the dust of that little chair
What has become of our L little Boy Blue
Since he kissed them and put them there.

"Society dances will surprise society
itself at Newport and the fashionable
resorts this summer"
This was the dictum of a well-knOWn
dancing master, delivered with the
gravity which be comes the prophet of
social change.
Dancing has meant an ear for music
and some vague notion of the waltz.
Dancing is going to mean steps, fancy
steps, steps which 1t is an art to learn
and an accomplishment to show. Things
were ripe for change last fall. People
were tired of the old dances, but the
dancing gown was in the way of the
new ones. You can't do steps to adj
vantage in a dress which touches the
floor. You can't do anything but whirl
about in the waltz till you can make a
girl willing to show her feet. The long
gown tried to compromise on the
minuet. The minuet was change, and
1t was slow enough to get on fairly well
with the gown. But the minuet didn't
take. 1t was too slow. The gown has
had to give way. The dancing gown
went into retirement at the beginning
of Lent with long skirts. 1t came out
chances are it will have another inch or
two clipped off before the seaside hotels
OPEN"
"And then?'
'And then steps. The success of the
flashing Thursday dances settled that,
if it was not settled before. National
dances that will give spirit, picturesque
ness and character to the ball room.
There are no girls who dance so well as
American girls, but they have never
had fair chance. You can hardly inn
agine what thankless task it is to try
to teach the few dancing steps we have
used to girls who won't lift their skirts
enough to show the daecing master the
tips of their toes. The new dancing
dresses will be just as modest, and the
buoyancy and self-confidence that girls
will put into the fancy dancing will do
away with the dreary and stilted monot-
ony of the old quadrilles. Now we shall
see, for one thing, the gayotte."

Why these fond relics, ancy-fraught,
Should live beyond my span of years?
Live, with their tale of thought. or deed,
For merchandise in Scandals mart,
To satisfy the clamorous greed
Of scribblers who'd dissect my heart
When lay slumbering in the mold,
Unwilling of Fame's noisy blast
And sell for miserable gold
The sacred secrets of the Past?
To build romanees from my life.
Or weave the lies that seem like truth,
From shadows of long-ended strife
And unknown agOnies of youth?

All but the lock of hair | crave
To wear upon my living breast,
And perish with me in the grave.

THE GAvoTTE GOWN.

1t really looks as if the dancing master
was right. The newest dancing dresses
finished for the dancing season are APP
preciably shorter than those worn few
months ago. They are graceful, pict-
uresque dresses, too. The gavotte, so
others than the dancing master tell us,
will be the especially fashionable dance
of the summer, and the dresSmak-
ers are taking up the idea by
making gavotte gowns. This does
not mean that the gavotte will be
danced as a masquerade or fancy
dress dance, but only that the revival
OF the lively steps OF the courts of the
Bourbons or the First Empire CORE
spends and fits in we'll with revival of
the liking for the First Empire gowns.
Since we are going to dance the pretty
and light-hearted figure dances which
were originated by lords and ladies in
the stately chateauX of Southern France
and tread the measures which Napo-
Icons soldier cavaliers trod in the days
of the republic with their three-cOr-
nered hats in hand; and since Dame
Fashion is beginning to acknowledge
fancy for the dress of JOsephine'S
court ladies, why not unite the two
latest WITNESSES and appropriate the
DirectOire gown to the DirectOire dance,
do the gavotte step in the garb in which
at the beginning of the century the ga
vote was done? This is what is COM
ing about, and if every belle includes in
her wardrobe one of the India silks.
China grapes, soft and clinging peau Gle
soies which, with their accessories of
laces and gems, adapt themselves most
readily to the graceful lines of the ga
Vote gowns, the summer ball rooms
will be studies in color with the har-
monies of old rose tints, silver gray and
gold, the tapestry greens,the dull blues,
the silver and white, pale yellow and
silver, the cream whites which are chos-
ell for the Directoire dress.

PugiIism Not a Religion.

ELOCUTION IN A FRENCH ROBE.
This is not spring of compromises.
The bodice must be short in Directoire
or Greek style, or else it must cling fast
to the modern French standard and be
extremely long. You would not think
they belonged to the same order of be-
ing if you should stand Greek damsel
up alongside one of these French
maidens, her trim waist stretched to a
point and wound round and about and
pinned with little futtering ribbon
bows. But they are both in the fashion,
and will, perhaps, exchange figures to-
morrow evening.
There is something newer than the
Psyche knot, and that is the wearing of
flowers in the hair. The Marchioness
of LOrne has stood by the pretty fash
ion through good report and ill, and at
last she seems to have succeeded in
bringing it into favor again. Adele
Grant ventured upon a single blossom
as long ago as last summer, and within
few weeks half dozen women have
substituted roses, sprays OF mignonette
and fOrget-me-nOtS, white aZalieas, lilies
of the valley and almost any flower at
tainable at this season for the jeweled
pins which have bound up the hair so
long. COrOnetS of heath or any small
fine blossom are worn with figured
dresses, large single Gloire de Paris
roses with black lace or cream silk even
ing gowns. With the tea gown for
afternoon adornment people hit upon
the jonquil almost invariably.
Natural blossoms? Yes, thus far.
Just out of the dollhouse and forming no
lnconsiderable part of an evenings eX-
pense bill. When it gets warmer the
chances are that the '.art" flowers,
which are cunningly contrived to feel,
as we'll as look, like nature, will be sub
stituted by good many bellies, who
don't want their roses to fade before the
dances are done.
There is little that is positively novel
in materials for the evening gown.
Tulle and gauZe have undergone further
elaboration, and have concluded strong
alliance with ribbon to help out the
effect. A pale blue gauze, striped with

him and tickled a sandy-haircd paSSen-

"Line of road. Why, it's the biggest

asked the passenger with an amused
expression. "I've seen four trains to

Chicago place where the trains stop
for dinner?"
"Naw," said the disguised drummer;
"Chlcago is the place where the passen-

Then he walked forward to the filter,
filled his mouth full of water, gargled
his throat. whooshed the liquid on the
floor and hung his leg over the corner
of the coal box.

the conductor, who was passing through
the train.
