Tho Other WAY.

A well known Chicago attorney tells a
good one anent the quick wit and ready
tongue Of that brilliant lawyer, the late
Emery A. Storrs. 1t was after the ven
erable Justice Skates had left the Illinois
supreme bench. The justice had specu-
lated good deal and had been unfor-
tunate. He had been sued to recover
certain claims, Judgment had been en-
tered against him, and attachments
against his property had been taken out.
But none Of his property could be found
and the attachments remained unsatis-
fed. On account Of the prominence OF
the justice, the case was well known
a,rong lavyesa Not long afterward
Mr.. STAIRS Wa defending a heavy at
tachment suit, and the lawyer on the
other side took occasion to cite certain
decision of the Illinois --'preme court In
support Of his position. Storrs was on
his feet in moment. "Whose decision
Is that?' he asked. ut was written by
Justice Skates replied the other attor-
ney. "Well," said the witty 6torrs,
",Skatss on attachments may be ali
right, but attachments on Skates amt
worth a cent!'--Cbicago Herald.

ECONOMY

This cry for economy in state matters,
from some hononbiy and sincerely, from
others of the demagoge stripe. is likely to
create penny wise and pound foolish
sentiment. The Sioux City Journal has
the following cool headed comment to
make upon the Governors message:
Now, IN the first place, it is to be noted
that the situation, while involving some
practical difficulty, is not serious. The
prospective deficit OF S136, 1875 is mere
bagatelle for a state Of such wealth and
such immense resources as South Dakota
"a state, too. Of such growth as it is cer-
tain to experience, The next assessment
beyond question win, or can be easily
made TO provide all necessary resources
for providing suitably for state institu-
tions and for running the government. The
little prospective deficit is only temporary
aud not to compare with the fiscal difficult
ties which Iowa and other western states
in their infancy had to deal with.

STATE BUSINESS.

The Governors message shows he has
been reading the newspapers, and he
hops onto the financial problem of max
ing 1896. 900 receipts pay $500, 900 expense
He recommends that the old appropna-
tons as made by territorial legislature be
annulled, and that the present legislature
look over the field and estimate the
absolute expenditures demanded and then
ifanything is left let IL be divided between
those objects which. while they may be
desirable, are not essential to the states
existence. The message suggests decided
reduction OF expenditures for institutions
devoted TO higher education. Also, the
abolition Of preparatory departments

Staniey's Peculiar Views.

The great explorer Stanley has some
peculiar views on the subject OF woman
ly characteristics which will doubtless
be quite as interesting to the average
reader as the report of his latest explora-
tions. According to letter written by
him just before his last departure, and
published in The Woman's Cycle, he
seems to prefer encountering jungle
tiger or a Kaffir warrior dressed in a
string of beads to meeting a soft voiced,
tender faced woman, for, as he expresses
it, women appear TO me so soft, so
very unlike (at least what j have SEEM
the rude type of mankind, that one soon
feels when talking to them that he must
soften his speech and drawl or affect
singular articulation lest offense be
taken where none was intended. Hence
men are seldom sincere to women.
81 am absolutely uncomfortable when
speaking to a woman unless she is such
O rare one that she will let me hear some
common sense The fact is, can't
talk to women. In their presence ! am
Just as much of a hypocrite as any other
man, and it gals me that must act and
be affected and parody myself for no
other reason but because l think, with
other men, that to speak or act other
wise would not be appreciated. 1t Is
such false position that do not care
to put myself into it,"
Stanley Is quite traveller, but there
Is an undiscovered country he has never
explored, whose labyrinth he has never
threaded, whose mystical, intricate river
! courses he has never traced, whose
mountains Of inspiration and valleys of
despair he has never measured, and
which might prove as difficult of In
vasion, as wonderful in revelation as
| the interior of the Dark Continent, and
/ that Is the heart of woman, for he says
further; "For the life of me cannot sit
still moment when anything approach
! ing to love comes on the tapis." One
woman friend only has this peculiar man
of fame to whom he can speak, for "af-
ter the first few minutes of strangeness
have gone she soon lets you know that
chaff won't do" and he concludes his
singular letter by sending to this friend a
message: please say hearty friend
wishes her daily enjoyment of her life. y

1t is a little early, but some of the
newspapers have already brought out II &.
L. Loucks as the demo mugwump can
didate for governor next fail. This
anticipation may be considered good
way TO keep the gentleman out of the
race, as in the Senatorial contest last year,
but until Mr.. Loucks announces his lnten-
tion of being such candidate, republican
papers can afford to refrain from un-
necessary criticism. Public men should be
given breathing spell.

PRoHIBIToRY LAW.

South Dakota's enforcement league has
prepared bin and recommends passage
by the State Legislature. 1t is somewhat
similar to the Kansas law, regulating
the sale of liquors for medicinal, mechan-
ical ana scientific purposes; for injury,
in person or in property, sustained through
the intempennce of relatives; for preven.
ting the distribution or division of
intoxicants by clubs or associations; for
procuring injunctions, and obtaining evil
dence. There are embodied in the bill
those portions Of the Iowa law compelling
the common inebriate to testify when
where, and OF whom he obtained the
liquor which intoxicated hun, and con-
trolling the conveyance of the intoxicants
by railroad companies.

Tho Thankless Bcggnr.

An interesting anecdote is related by
the "Yugend Freunde" of King Alphonso
X, surnamed "The Wise, who succeeded
to the throne of Leon and Castillo in
1862. On learning that his pages neg
lected to ask the divine blessing before
partaking of their daily meals, he was
deeply grieved and sought diligently to
point out to them the evil of this omis-
sion. At length he succeeded in finding
a plan. He invited the pages of his court
to dine with him. A bountiful repast
was spread, and when they were all as
sembled around the table the king gave
signal that all was in readiness for
them to begin. They all enjoyed the
rich feast, but not one remembered to
ask Gods blessing on his food.
Just then, unexpectedly to the thought
less guests, entered poor. ragged beg
gar, who unceremoniously seated him.
self at the royal table, and ate and drank
undisturbed, to his hearts content. Sur
prise and astonishment were depicted on
every count, ance.
The pages looked first at the king,
then gazed upon the audacious intruder,
expecting momentarily that his majesty
would give orders to have him removed
from the table. Alphonso, however, kept
silence; while the beggar, unabashed by
the presence of royalty, ate all he de-
sired. When his hunger and thirst were
appeased he rose and without q word OF
thanks departed from the palace.
"What despicable, mean fellowP'
cried the boys Calmly the good king
rose, and, with much earnestness, said;
"Boys, bolder and more audacious than
this beggar have you all been. Every
day you sit down to table supplied by
the bounty of your heavenly father, yet
you ask not his blessing, and leave II
without expressing to him your gratitude
Yes, each and all of you should be
heartily ashamed Of your conduct. which
was far worse than was the poor beg
gar's."-The Little Christian.
