A Handsome Tribute.

Capt. {. '. Gardner, of Spring Valley,
in summing up the many reasons why
Spring Valley should haye the insane
asylum, or rather the reasons why other
places should not have it, in letter to
the Deadwood Times has a good word
for all the towns in the Hills. We
quote the following handsome tribute
which he kindly bestows upon this
place:
Custer, nestled ii the mountains far
away from all of Us, yet held in almost
reverend memory by nearly every pio-
neer Of the Hills, is surrounded by her
mountains of tin, her beds of mica and
leads of gold and silver, which will in
the near future, make her one Of the
fairest and richest cities in all the land,
can patiently "bide-awee," well knowing
that her very near future is as grand as
ii is certain.
Patiently bide awee." Yes, Captain,
you have spoken wisely, Custer can. and
will possess herself with patience, and
bide her time. Not that Custer would
not be pleased to accept the institution
if rendered but she is less selfish than
sensible, and does not care to reach for
plums, however desirable, which are
clearly beyond her grasp. Custer real
ICES the Importance of her mountains Of
tin and other exceptional mineral re-
sources; Is fully aware of the superla-
tive beauty and native grandeur of her
surroundings, and patiently, too patient
" awaits the certain advent of future
prosperity.
Custer realizes the fact that the con
ditions are unfavorable for the attain
ment of legislative benefits, and that
her advancement depends solely upon
the development Of natures gifts, which
she confidently expects will eventually
result in placing her in the front rank
among the mining emporiums Of the
west, with unrivalled railroad advant-
ages, giving us easy access with the
outside world as well as with Spring
Valley and other prominent points in
the Hills, from which, in the language
Of Capt. Gardner she is now so "far
away" whereupon she will no longer be
a "revered memory" but will bud, burst
and bloom into a living reality with
capital X.

SturElS Also Wants II.

From present indications it is fair to
presume, that in case it be the will OF
the Dakota legislature-the governor
concurring-that an insane asylum be
established in the Black Hills, there
will be no trouble in finding a town that
would willingly accept it, Custer might
be prevailed upon to make room for it
Deadwood has evinced disposition to
grab il; Spring Valley declares her will.
ingness to accept it, and Sturgis, as in
dicated from the following article clip
ped from the Record, develops lively
desire to scoop it:
There has always been a strong belief
for several years that an insane asylum
was needed IN this country, and recently
the DeadwOod board of trade evolved d
memorial to the legislature, asking for
an appropriation for an asylum within
two miles Of that place. Next comes
Spring Valley with an offer Of eighty
acres of land and the sum of two thou
sand dollars. The valley only wants
$50 900 while the denizens up the creek
ask for $4,000.
Gentlemen, possess your sonls in peace!
The Black Hills will have an insane
asylum, if you will all keep hands of
and not spoil good thing by premature
hasty, ill-advised or rash action.
\ bill locating an asylum at Sturgis
has been in the hands of the Black Hills
delegation for over three weeks, and
each member has promised to support il
as best they know how The Deadwood
memorial is simply reiteration of the
arguments advanced by those who drew
the bill here mentioned, while the offer
made by Spring Valley is Of course
somewhat less than that made by rs
The good people of Sturgis have Ions
known that such an institution was
needed in the Black Hills, and they gc
now to the legislature with bill locat
ing it and providing for an appropra
ton.
The bill was drawn by Mr.. Hoehr
and the Record man No one knew O
it for some time, or until it was though
best to mention the matter. Right here
in a sort of personal way to the peopl,
of Sturgis the Record emphaticalIy states
that if we had more men like Ma,
Hoehn to work quietly and unostentati
ously for the place there would be more
accomplished.

Centenarians in France.

A paper was recently read before the
French Academy of Science by NJ.
Emile Lavasseur on the ''Centenarians
now living in France The first re-
ports collected gave the number Of
persons who had attained 100 years
and upward at 1874, but on these being
thoroughly sifted no less than 10l were
struck out, leaving 80, but even of
these there were no fewer than 67 who
could not furnish adequate proof of
their reputed age. In l6 cases, how
ever, authentic records of birth Or
baptism were found, including that Of
man born in Spain, and baptized
August 20, 1910. His life was spent
almost wholly in France. All the
other centenarians were reputed to be
between 100 and 105 years of age, with
the exception of q widow claiming to
be 112 years old. OF the SO persons
said to be centenarians women formed
large majority, the proportion being
% women to 81 men. There were but
few married couples, 6 male and female
celibates, % widowers, and Al widows.
One of the latter was Nine. Rostkow-
ski, 103 years of age. She enjoys a
pension of 60 francs a month, allowed
her by the French Government in con-
sideration of her late husbands mill
tary services. More centenarians exist
in the southwestern departments than
in the rest of the republic, while the
basin of the Garonne-from the Pyr-
enees to the Puy de Dome-contains
as many as all the rest OF France put
ogether. Mr.. Lavasseur finds that
the chances of person in this century
reaching 100 years Of age are one in

Warming Water for Stock.

Upon one phase of warming water !
can speak positively. During cold days
the amount of cold water drank will be
greatly restricted. A set OF steers fed
at the Missouri Agricultural College
under my care drank more water when
sheltered than aset of equal weight did
in the open air. 1t will not be necessary
to emphasize this point by details, as it
is obvious. Again, at New Hampshire,

ter, and found, as would be expected,
that limited amount of water reduced
the yield of milk and condition of COW,
although the loss Of butter was not
equal to the loss Of milk. These facts,
too, would be expected. The more in
teresting fact was observed that when
limited the water given. the COWS at
once as sharply limited themselves in
food consumption. took the weight
of every factor concerned. Now we
have the interesting and certain truth
that q limitation of water consumption
is a limitation OF food consumption,
which results in limited growth. Wemay
fairly assume that whatever influence
restricts the normal amount of water
drank, influences food consumption and
growth

DOGS AND THEIR WAYS.
Little Pecuiiarities of the Newfoundland
and st. Bernard Breeds.

Little Pecuiiarities of the Newfoundland
and st. Bernard Breeds.
Give us an article on dogs" writes
a correspondent.
A dog collar is an article on dogs; SC
is flea; which will you have?
The dog is called the friend of man.
and it is true that he is frequently seen
running after him, particularly when
the man is a trespasser or the dog is
mad.
There are many kinds of dogs.
The Newfoundland dog seems born
with an instinct for saving children
from drowning. 1t will hang around
a mill-pond for days at a time watch
ing for an opportunity to win a medal
from the Humane Society. If no such
opportunity occurs it becomes very
melancholy and seems impelled to ask
if life is worth living.
A friend of ours imported New
foundland dog to look out for his chill
dren, as his residence was near a pond
of water Every few days the faithful
animal would come bounding towards
the house, dragging dripping child
by his teeth, that he had saved from a
watery grave. Then the dog would
be petted by the family, and feasted
and made much of, Yet it didn't seem
to make him proud. He looked as
calm and Indifferent as if saving
child from drowning was one of the
most ordinary events of his life
scarcely worth speaking of-nothing
at all, in fact, to what he had done in
the old country, where he had often
rescued two or three whole families
before breakfast.
But this thing of bringing home
drenched children got to be rather too
frequent not to excite suspicion. and a
watch was set on the devoted friend of
man and children. 1t was discovered
shat he had habit of pushing a child
into the water, when favorable op-
portunity offered, and then plunging
in with DESTINATIONS zeal to rescue it.
The Newfoundland dog was promptly
discharged, without Recommendation.
The st. Bernard dog is a hotel run
ner for hostelrie way up among the
Alps. He finds travellers who are
laundering around in the snow toe
bewildered to remember what hotel
their cooks ticket directs them to put
up at, and runs them into the St.
