wAsTErUL ECONOMY.
It Doesn't Fay to Stint the Furnishir
Of the Kitchen

1t Doesn't Fay to Stint the Furnishing
of the Kitchen.
"Many a younr wife," said mother
ly woman the other day to a N. Y.
Tribune writer, "would find the wheels
of her household moving much more
smoothly if she would spend little
less money on the furnishing of her
drawing-roo and devote it, instead,
to supplying her kitchen with labor
saving appliances and plenty of uten-
sils. Economy in kitchen utensils may
easily be pushed too far, and if there
is one place where woman may be
more readily excused than another for
extravaganza it is just there.
ITO have to stop in the middle of
making dessert in order to clean a
saucepan or kettle in which the soup
had been prepared, because you have
not another. is folly when soup-kettles
can be had for Is cents each. To have
your kitchen-knives of such poor metal
that they will not stay sharp or to let .
good knife remain dull because YOU
think you can not afford to spend 10
cents to have it sharpened is real
waste of strength out Of all proportion
to the saving. 10 have nothing by
which you can measure your in
gradients accurately because it costs
more to buy set of weights or a
graduated glass measure than to trust
to guess work and an old tcacup has
spoiled many a good dish that cost
just as much and has brought humilia-
ton on many a good cook. To scrape
your porridge-pot with spoon because
you will not buy a patent pot-scraper
for - cents wears out ten spoons to
one pot-scraper, and the hired girl in
variably selects your best spoon for
that purpose. Sitting the coal ashes is
such dirty business as it is usually
performed and the servant kicks
against it so vigorously shat the most
economical housekeeper soon abandons
it in despair. A patent ashsifter
that allows no dust to escape and pre-
serves all the half-burned coal will
pay for itself in one winter and last
five. A cheap refrigerator can be had
for one-third the cost of good one of
the same size, but if you buy it your
ice bill will be twice as large.
'There is hardly anything in the
kitchen OF which there are not two
varieties, the cheap and the dear, and
the result of the use of either is gen
orally its exact opposite in actual cash.
But in comfort to ones self and to
ones husband and children saving of
time, temper, brain-worry, and back
ache, they repay their own cost many
times over every week"

Rev. !. o, Dobson,

The recent session of the annual confer
ence of the NJ. E. church assigned the Rev.
j. U. Dobson to the pastorate of the M. f..
church at Rapid City. Mr. Dobson has
been pasior5of irst NJ. 3. church of this
city for the past four years, and no other
pastor in the history of the church ever
gave better satisfaction to church and
people. AS speaker he is earnest, elo-
quent and forcible. AS man outside of
the church he is a most desirable friend
and companion. The Pioneer Office will
miss his weekly and semi-weekly calls, his
always pleasant greetings and conversa-
tiops. We commend him to the news
papers of Rapid City. Cultivate his &C.
quaintance and when you once gain his
confidence you will have valuable friend
and adviser, and then if you ever attend
church, go and hear practical sermon
free from dogmas of any kind.-Pioneer.

Mr.. Thompson favored us with a drive
over his section OF the city, the north
east, north OF the river Wehave always
felt thatas the city grew the finest resident
portion would be north of the river.
The soil lies in almost natural terraces
from the valley, making the finest nat
ural building sites possible. The view
through the gap into the Hills, OF the
city and down the valley is superb. The
prevailing winds are from the northwest
which gives this location pure air and
frees it from dust and smoke. The ten
acres lying on the slope to the east Of
the Indian school, which is reserved for
a city park, is finely located and can be
made a beautiful spot. Adjoining it on
the west Mr.. Thompson set out num-
Der OF apple and shade trees the past
spring and although on account OF dry
weather they have made but little
growth, they are all alive and show what
might and should be done in the park.

recently he showed us some very fine
specimens OF home grown apples, of good
size and well matured Mr.. Strater's
first orchard is now six years old, the
stock was purchased in Minnesota. But
for the severe hail storm these trees
would have averaged a half bushel each.
His second orchard is grown from stock
purchased Of Mr.. Thompson OF this city.
Although set but two years there were
many apples on the trees.

Undressing Was not Bathing.

Undressing Was not Bathing.
In 1868 President Lincoln sent a
force under Gen. Henry H. Sibley to
punish the Indians for their barbara
ties in Minnesota and Dakota and
drive them back to the Rocky-mount-
ain plains. Among the many Incl
dents of the Sibley expedition says the
Fargo A7y1ts, against the Sioux which
are still atloat IN Dakota is the follow
ing: On the return the camps were
usually made Oh the banks of lake or
river, and frequently when the men
learned where the camp would be some
of them would rush forward and have
q bath; this spoiled the water and made
it unfit for camp purposes. This action
so incensed Gen. Sibley that he pro-
hibited bathing until the officer of the
day should announce that water had
been secured for camp purposes and
the stock had been watered. One night
the camp had been made on the bank
of small lake. Capt. Horace Austin
was the officer of the day and he sent
detail to the lake in charge of Sergt.
S. P. Childs, now of Mankato, to see
that the generals order was obeyed.
Childs saw a man come down to the
lake and begin undressing. Soon he
was disrobed and walked to the edge
of the water and dipped his foot in to
see how cold it was. when Childs
yelled "Halt!" "What is the matter?"
asked the would-be bather. The SER
geant replied the generals orders were
that no bathing should be allowed
until the officer OF the day had an
nounoed that sufficient water had been
secured. The man demonstrated and
finally said that if Childs knew the
order he ought to have informed him
before he undresscd. 'Yes,' said
Childs, II know it, but the order does
not prohibit disrobing." The man who
wanted to bathe was Gen. Sibley him
sell, and Childs knew it, but he didn't
bathe then.-Fargo argus.

the coming school year and recon-
mended to the city council tax ofseven
mills. The council, which is bold one
in the establishing OF precidents, decided
that the board did not understand their
duties and proceeded to cut the levy to
five mills. The board was Justly indig-
nant and have taken the necessary steps
to force the levy asked. The matter
comes before Judge Nowlin on Saturday.
