THEnew State of South Dakota will
come into the Union with all the mod
ern improvements. In addition to the
usual provisions concerning the duties
of State officers and courts, which are
substantially taken from the older State
Constitutions, the new Constitution
makes it obligatory upon the Legisla-
ture to submit woman-suffrage amend
ment, likewise prohibitory amend
ment, to a vote of the people. An eff
fort was made also to secure minority
representation in the lower house, but
this failed. AS the bill under which
the State is admitted provides for a
second ratification Of the Constitution
it is possible the prohibition amend
ment may be rejected, as it was only
carried in 1885 by majority of 354 in
total vote of over 10000. Minority
representation may not fare as well, as
it was defeated by 5,304 votes.

dinted with dimples, and round little
head completely covered with short,
golden-brown curls.
Her real name was Eliza, but her
brothers and sisters, of whom she had
q goodly supply, called her by the
pretty pet name of LILA"
One bright sunny afternoon Lila's
eldest sister, Nan, sat in the large, old
fashioned kitchen, picking over dried
beans for baking.
Nan had on big blue-checked apron,
and held bright tin pan in her lap,
into which she threw all of of the good
beans.
Little Lila had been playing for over
an hour, call by her lone SELF" as she
expressed it, and was getting dread
fully tired, when all of sudden she
heard the beans rafting into the big
tin can. This caused the dimples to
dance into view and the blue eyes to
sparkle, as Lila quickly threw down
her toys and soon stood by her sisters
side.
"Don't touch the beans, Lila, F" said
Nan.
me wants some to pay wiv," said
Lila. coaxingly.
mo, not one" said Nan, rather i'm
patiently, for she felt anxious to get
through, and didn't want to be both
| cred.
Then, quick as a flash, Lila's little
fat hand buried Itself in the midst of
the "pitty white fings." as she called
them, and before her sister realized
what she was doing, she ran across the
room, one chubby hand shut tight and
filled with beans.
Nan put the pan down and ran after
her. and feeling sure she would catch
her and take the beans away, Lila in
stantly put them into her mouth.
"You naughty child!" said Nan,
catching hold of Lila and trying to
make her spit the beans out of her
mouth.
But Lila struggled to get away,
commenced to cry, then to cough, and
terrible to relate, she sucked one of
the beans right down her throat into
the windpipe.
But Nan didn't know this. When
Lila commenced to cough two or three
beans flew out of her mouth, and Nan
thought it was all Lila had.
As for poor little Lila, she was too
Young to understand that she had
sucked one Of the beans into her wind
pipe, only her throat hurt her dread
fully, and SO she kept on crying until
her mother came into the room.
Nan began to feel little frightened,
80 she told her mother truthfully just
what had happened,
Little Lila grew worse so rapidly
that the family doctor was sent for,
and when he came and heard what had
occurred he looked very grave, and
said at once that nothing but an OPP
Grafton would save the child's life, and
what was to be done must be done
quickly, for the bean was swelling rap
idly and would soon cause her death.
He also thought it best to send for
two other doctors.
Poor little Lilal This terrible acci-
dent happened many years ago, long
before the discovery of chloroform, SO
it was much mora difficult and danger
ous to perform the operation; still, it
was the only chance of saving her life,
and must be done.
I know it will make you feel badly,
dear little readers, and can imagine
your eyes-blue. black, and brown

The suicide of the wretch Pigott al
Madrid is the logical outcome of his
exceptional career of crime. Convicted
of blackmail, forgery, perjury, and of
playing the traitor even to those whom
he was protesting to serve, and of do
ing it all for money, having confessed
that he was guilty of every crime
charged against him, and having
branded his own forehead with his in
famous record, what was left for him
to do but blow off the head that could
conceive and harbor so much infamy?
History fails to record more despi-
cable or diabolical character. Most
criminals have some redeeming quality.
This man had none. Having muir
dered his own character, his own in.
tegrity and self-respect, what bette1
could he do than to murder himself?
If the argument for total depravity
needs any illustration in future, it al
ways will be found in this man Pigott.

How many people there are whose dis

Why Young Men, Unless Specially Gifted,
Should Not Enter Them.
We Americans are free and equalists
In theory, but not in PRACTICE. Thou
sands of American fathers educate
their sons to become lawyers and doc
tors because they consider the profess
sions of lawhud physic more ''genteel'
than any mechanical trade. Hence
there is always a glut OF physicians
and "counselors',a in the market, more
than half of whom, live in a state of
genteel penury, witLssmall prospect of
leaving behind them when they die
assets enough to cover their debts and
funeral expenses. ~
To make O fortune at the baA in
these days, a man must have extrGor-
binary talent, or else be unusually
fortunate in his business connections.
Many good lawyers, well read, shrewd
and persevering, fail to acquire a COM
petence. For young men of mediocre
abilities, who have no controlling BUSH
ness connections, there is barely a
chance to earn a hand-to-mouth hveli-
hood in the Legitimate walks OF the
profession, and there are hundreds OF
attorneys, of low mental and moral
caliber, who, to save themselves from
being starved out of the profession,
resort to a system Of ''sharp practice,
which is only one degree less rassally
than pocket-book dropping and patent
safe swindling.
tt is the same In the healing art. A
few eminent physicians and surgeons
great Psychologists and bold n sue
cessful operatOrs-command enormous
fess and accumulate wealth rapidly.
A large number support their families
comfortably by their practice laying
up little or nothing, however, for q
RAINY day; while a still larger proper
ton either hover on the verge OF
pauperism, or resort to quackery, or
worse than quackery, for a living. Yet
muititudes of young men. very moder-
ately supplied with brains, and with
their small modicums of intellect by no
mean Ov6rstOcked Win kno"leuso'
are continually shouldering their way
into the temple of Galen, regardless OF
the fact that there is scarcely standing
room for the present occupants.
The clerical calling, too. has its full
share of ~mediocrity and the grade be-
low. Men who have not the gift to
teach any thing well. though they as
sumo to teach their fellows the way to
Heaven, are by no means rare among
the clergy.
All the liberal professions are 81
stocked. We have a broad country,
and a fruitful soil, which. as a general
thing, pays better for cultivation than

Garget.

Garget is a very prevalent disease in

1t Is more prevalent in the winter than
IN the summer because the cows are

more easily attacked by infiammatory
diseases. The greatest care should be
