How to Break Off Bad Habits.

Understand the reason, and all the re a.
sons, why the habit is injurious or sinful.
Study the subject until there is no lingering
doubt in your mind. Avoid the places, the
persons, and the thoughts that lead to temp
tation. Keep busy; idleness is the strength
of bad habits. Do not give up the struggle
when you have broken your resolution once,
twice or a thousand times. That only shows
how much need there is for you to strive.
When you have broken your resolution.
just think the matter over and endeavOr to
understand why it was you failed, so that
you may be on your guard against recur.

think it is an easy thing that you have I'M
dertaken. 1t is folly to expect to break off
a habit in day which may have been gath
ering strength in you for long time.-Cath

Responsibility for Wrong Doing.

1He responsibility or any wrong action
begins long before the action itself is COM
mltted; 1t deals with the source and the
growth OF motives. 1t is not enough to say
we should resist the motive which urges us
to 40 wrong. This is OF course true but it
is also true that we should not have per-
mitted the motive to attain such strength.
We know not what particular temptation
may assail us next month or next year: but
we can so order our present life as to
weaken wrong desires and withdraw the

Limiting the Amount.

Senator Moody's bill providing for aid
20 the state of South Dakota in support
ing school of mines, was the subject
of an important amendment when it
came up for passage. The bill as origi-
nally drawn contained a provision that
the sum to be paid for the school out OF
tho proceeds of the sale of the mineral
lands should not exceed S1e, 900 per an
mum. The amendment adds to this sec
ton the words:
Nor shall it exceed the amount annually
expended by the state of South Dakota for
said school OF mines out of its treasury.
AS tho bill was passed it allows SO per
cent of the money received from the
sale of mineral lands to go to the sup
port of the school to be located at Rapid
City, with the above provisions limiting
the maximum amount.

A Winged Monster That Two Ranchmcn
Killed in a Desert.

A winged monster resembling o
huge alligator with an extremity efon-
gated tail and an immepsc pair of
wings, was found on the desert between
Milestone and Huachuca mountains
last Sunday by two ranchers who were
returning home from the Huachucas,
says the Tombstone. (Ari.) Ep,taph.
The creature was evidently exhausted
by long flight, and when discovered
was able to fly but short distance at
time.
After the first shock of wild amaze
ment had passed, the two men, who
were on horseback and armed with
Winchester rifles, regained courage to
pursue the monster, and, after an eX-
citing chase of several miles, succeeded
in getting near enough TO open fire
with their rifles, wounding it. The
creature then turned on the men, but
owing to its exhausted condition they
were able to keep out of its way, and
after few well directed shots the
monster partly rolled over and re.
manned motionless. The men cautions.
ly approached, their horses snortiug
with terror. and found that the cred!
ture was dead.
They then proceeded to make an ex-
animation, and found that it measured
about ninety-two feet in length and the
greatest diameter was about fifty
inches. The monster had only two
feet. these being situated a short dis.
tance in frort OF where the wings joined
TO the body. The head, rs near as
they could judge. was about eight feet
long; the jaws were thickly set with
strong. sharp teeth. Its eyes were as
large as dinner-plate and prctruded
about halfway from the head. They
had some difficulty in measuring the
wings. as they were partly folded un-
der the body. but finally got one

SOUTH DAKOTA NEWS.
Neither Wants tho Cheyonncs.

Washington special: The proposition
contained in the Indian appropriation
bill to remove the Cheyennes from the
Tongue river agency in Montana to the
Sioux reservation in South Dakota, is
regarded with entirely different emo
tions by the delegations Of the states
Immediately interested. Nobody wants
the Cheyonnes Montana would be glad
to ship them, bag and baggage, to South
Dakota. South Dakota would be per-
fectly well pleased if they were allowed
to remain in the mountain state, and If
their cousins, the Cheyennes now in
South Dakota, wore sent to keep them
company.
The Indian bill will soon be consid-
cred in the senate, and when this part
is reached presentation of the case
may be made. Representative Carter,
of Montana, says that as the Montana
Indians have treaty rights In the Sioux
nation, as they have relatives there who
are to be given land in severalty, as
they can never become self-sustaining
on the Montana reservation, he believes
it wise to send them to South Dakota.
Senator Pettigrew is opposed to this,
and believes that the commission auth
orized under the Indian bill should
negotiate to tho end that they be given
lands in severalty on their own reserva-
tion. He says the climate, the soil or
the surroundings in South Dakot are
not better suited to make civilized
beings OF them than are these condi-
tions in Montana. He adds that il all
Cheyennes arc to be put together it
would be eusier to ship 500 from South
Dakota to Montana than to ship G0C
from Montana to South Dakota.

his wound was nero scratch. He said
he was lying in a yard playing with a
