THE STRAITS OF DAKOTA PEOPLE.
A Man Cannot Kill Mortgaged Hen for
Fear of the Law.

CHICAGO, Dec. 1S-"A man cannot kill a hen
in Sphinx county, S. Oak. for his sick wife
without violating the law" is the way William
Broakans, a lawyer of Redtield, s. Dak., now
In this city, expressed himself concerning the
deplorable condition of the farmers in the
county he mentioned.
He explained that this state of affairs grows
out of the fact that 80 per cent of the real
estate and nearly all of the chattels in Sphinx
county are mortgaged. The killing of any
mortgaged animal is violation of law, The
situation is serious. Many families are leaving
and others would 60. but are without the
necessary means He says hundreds of fami-
lies have not provisions enough to last a week.
They have no money and no credit. There is
little fuel on hand and scarcely any hay or
straw to burn. Should severe winter set in
the result would be awful. With roads blocked
and with a scarcity of supplies. the towns
would contaio nothing but freezing, starving
people. Mr.. Broakans declared that these
facts were carefully concealed by real estate
boomers, who had even gone SO far as to falsify
statistics.

! in space, to be sure, but seemingly
gets out of gear when something or

customed to getting what we want on

| 60 SO fast that a sudden stoppage throws us of
| our feet. And there we are-helpless but hope
| full. To be sure, we know the track will soon be
cleared. the wires replaced, the wheels and
keys whirling and tapping as if nothing
had happened. Still, we should be pre-
pared for sudden change in the

unexpected. Don't wait until you have placed
the last lump of coal on the fire before ordering
another load. If you do the frost and the snow
may come between you and the fire.

/ at least attend to the trifies. Then when it
flies off the handle you can wait patiently and
will not feel the shock half SO much as your
neighbor, who was satisfied to take all the
chances. When the sun shines stop the leaks
and the rain will not spoil the carpet. When the
wintry day is crisp and clear see that your
| house is put in order for tomorrow. Then you
are prepared for blockade or blizzard.
When the drifts disappear you will resume
business at the old stand and help to swing the
wobbling old world into proper position.

Lourdes He was eloquent in hi: de-
scription of the famous Church Of Our
Lady of Lourdes and it's sister one Of
the Rosary, and especially SO of the
Grotto of the Virgin and the statues.
He described an incident which he saw
and which attracted no particular at
tention there He said: q saw a woman
lifted from carriage and go into the
Grotto on crutches the first day I Wis
tied it. The second day she discarded the
crutches and the third day she walked to
and from She shrine. She had been Grip
pied for years from paralysis and was
given up by doctors as incurable. AS
such things are quite common there the
people paid but little attenti to the cir
cumstance made no particular investi-
cation, and merely relate the incident as
I saw it.
