Schools and postoffices are found in
every valley and upon every hilltop. In
no section of the West is the public
school better or more carefully guarded
than in this county.
The spiritual welfare of it's inhabitants
is carefully looked after by the various
religious denominations of the country
who have their representatives scattered
throughout the county.
By glancing at the map of the state it
can readily be seen that no county in
the Hills occupies such an accessible
position, as regards reaching that portion
of the great Sioux reservation recently
opened. It has north and east 'front.'
age on the ceded portion of the reserva-
tion of sixty-five miles and this portion
contains some of the best lands to be
found on all that great reserve. The
soil of that section adjoining Meade
county is precisely of the same character
as that contained within this county,
boundaries. 1t is watered the same as
is the lands in our own county. Settlers
desiring to take up lands naturally pre-
fer to locate as near a thickly settled
community as possible. Right here they
can take advantage of that fact by COM
ing to Meade county and entering the
reservation from this side. Bear in
mind, however, that it is not necessary
for those desiring lands to pass through
Meade county and locate upon the newly
opened government land. There are
thousands of acres of first-class land
, as good as any yet taken up-lying va

Pat and the Henroost.

The many thefts of poultry and pro-
luce from farmers in The small North
Atlantic seaport towns by the crew of the
man-of-war Powhattan, some years ago,
had at last caused the officers TO take ac-
tiCn toward furnishing the offenders. says
the New York Herald. The men were all
notified that dire punishment would be
inflicted upon them II they continued in
their nefarious practice, and for n while a
chicken could stroll along the beach with
the utmost impunity while the vessel was
i'm port. This did not last long, however.
and one day while the ship was anchored
in a small seaport some Of the men asked
TO be allowed to go ashore. When the Of
ficer of thed deck was importuned for per-
mission replied:
"Yes, you may. but IL / hear OF you rob
bling a henroost will put you in double
irons for twenty days"
Pat" Harvey, an freshman, who acted
as spokesman, promised that no hen-
roosts would be robbed and the men left
the ship.
Early next morning an irate farmer
came on board n swore that the men
had entered his barn and carried Off sew
eral hundred pounds of poultry. All who
went on shore were called up. and the Of
ficer OF the deck, who happened to be the
same who let the men of. pounced upon
Harvey.
Didn't you," he cried, ''promise not 10

"Sure oi did. sur" replied Harvey. 1--WE
didn't AXE a hen, sur; they're all ducks"
Harvey vas right. There were eighteen
ducks found when the mess chest was
searched, but there were not a single
chicken among them.

The Hammock a Delightful Adjunct of
the silly season.

The Hammock u Delightful Adjunct Of
the silly season.
The hammock has much to answer for,
says the Pittsburg Bulletin.
II has developed from nothing into n
potent factor i'm midsummer social joys
and sorrows.
Adecade ago the hammock was spora-
tic. II is now universal. Certain tourists
from this heretofore unhammocked land
of the free, j%ourneying in Mexico and in
Cuba, noted the meshed crescent with in
terest first and with admiration after
wards inasmuch that they brought one Of
the swaying couches with them.
The result has beer remarkable. Amer
leans have taken the hammock to their
very hearts, and American ingenuity has
devised machinery capable OF turning out
hammocks almos AS fast as the finished
article will turn out its occupant.
A summer bereft OF a hammock would
be to the American lad and lass n dreary
and unromatic period.
Given a good article Of moonlight and
n hammock big enough for two, u there
is no combination which will more rapidly
and thoroughly advance the cause OF
Cupid and bring about the lighting OF
Hymen's torch.
The hammock is an institution which
could not have its origin i'm SO busy and
practical a land as America. 1t is a
daughter of the south, Of lands where
languor and idleness reign beneath an
almost vertical SUM-. Its motion savors
of leisure and its mission is one of ro-
nance.
As an aid to Irritation il is twin sister to
a fan.
III a young couple ever trust themselves
TO the support Of the same hammock al
the same time Cupid has his own way
thereafter. The pair must of necessity be
brought into such sweet proximity that
every particle of Formally and reserve is
melted away.
One may withdraw from his fair one on
a bench, may hold her aloof while seated
on the same grassy bank, and may hitch
his chair away, or closer, ~ feelings die
tate. Blu i'm the same hammock one can
do none of these things. He can only sub.
init to fate and p~ropinquity and he led de-
lightfully to the momentous question.
The hammock is fashioned much like
a spiders web. But who would not will.
lingly be a fly when the web holds q
charming maiden? And what man Il
there with soul so dead who is not glad
the hammock has come to stay.

A Pertinent Question

For the third time little Tommy Figg
had asked his father what was the cause
of the Desert Of Sahara. Finally the old
gentleman laid down his paper and an
swered: II reckon il was formed when
the Israelites lost their sand. And If you
don quit asking so many questions I'll
see that your mother puts you 20 bed be-
fore | get home hereafter" But, pa,
how can you see her put me 10 bed before
you get home? 2" And that question was
Tommy's last-for that evening.
