Mis tor Abbreviated.

1t is the custom for the clerk calling
the roll of members of the House of
representatives to prefix the word
Mister to each name, but before
he has gone far he begins to re-
trench his expense of vocal powers.
This leads to some strange combina-
tions of sound. In the beginning he
calls ''Mr. Albeit" 'Mr. Adams, -
MIR. Anderson, and few more dis
tinctly enough; but by the time he
reaches the c's he begins to tele-
scope the title, and calls Mister Can
non." Mister Carter" and so on.
When he has gone a little further
he drops off some more, and it be-
comes lister Fitch" lister Flower. "
''ter Gear" etc. This holds out
pretty well into the H'a bat at. last
the two words become Gno and ..Mr.
Hopkins" and '.Mr. Hou..'' sounded
like '.Stropkins" and Strouk. Down
in the Mas it undergoes another
change. The sound of 'r'" is lost
and MIR. Mason" '.Mr. McAdoo''
and 'Mr. Morrow become "Stuma-
son." "Stumacadoo'' and "Stumor-
row." This goes on through the O's
and P's. Mr. Oats" being '.Stoats''
and "Mr. Peel" coming out "Stupeel. ?"
In the h's it shifts little and
''Mr. Ray" becomes STRAY" while
'.Mr. Rife" is Strife.

OFFICIAL PAPER:
Or MEADE COUNTY, THE CRY or STURGiS, AND
THE WAR DEPARTMENT., DEPARTMENT OF DAk0TA
From the Front

s. FL. Knepper was the recipient OF a
letter last week from j. w. Smith, a
private in B troop, 7th cavalry, at pres
ent at Pine Ridge, which describes the
two battles the 7th had with the Indians.
Mr.. Smith says that in the Wounded
Knee fight thirty soldiers were killed
and forty five wounded, aside from the
killing of Captain Wallace and the
wounding of Lieutenants Darlington,
Mann, Hawthorne and Mckenzie. At
the same time 255 Indians were killed.
In the last fight a great many Indians
were killed but the soldiers were unable
to ascertain the number. One soldier
was killed and ten wounded. Mr..
Smith says if the 9th cavalry had not
come up just as it did; if it had been one
hour later, the Little Big Horn massacre
would have been repeated, as the 7th
was completely surrounded and cut oil
from retreat. Mr.. Smith further re.
marks at the time it was matter OF
much doubt as to whethe he would ever
get out alive or not.

Hon. J. T. Potter.

The Pierre Daily Capital, in speaking
of our senator says:
J. T. Potter, of Meade county, was
born at Boston, Massachusetts, in the
year 1847, and is of English ancestry.
His ancestors came to Plymouth, Massa-
chusetts in 1880 from England. He
was educated at the public schools and
come to Dakota in 1881 and settled at
Fort Meade. He is at present engaged
in the dry goods business. Mr.. Potter
is republican in politics and has been
mayor of Sturgis, and was elected over
Edwin Calvin, democrat, and W. L.
Jones, independent, by % plurality.
Advices further state that: "Senator
Potter is the peer of any member of the
senate and is getting to the front. u
OF course, we knew this and also YVES
confident that the balance of the state
would find it out.

THE FIRST STEAMBOAT.


It Was Named In Honor or y Beautiful
French Countess.
The first steamboat the Clermont.
which was the invention Of Robert
Fulton, bore the name of beautiful
French Countess. 1t was during that
period in the first republic in France,
which was called the Terror, when
the French nobility were COM
PEELED to flee for their lives. that
young Count st. Hilary came to Am
erica accompanied by his charming
wife.
They chose as their retreat thick
ly wooded island In Oneida lake,
N. Y, which to this day is known as
Frenchman's island.
Surrounded by the primeval forest,
the Count and his lovely companion
were sheltered from the worlds
alarms, and though they were de-
prived OF the elegances OF the Paris
ian boudoirs they enjoyed peaceful
repose and, perhaps, some measure Of
happiness in their sylvan abode.
The distinguished Chancellor Rob-
ert II. Livingston then lived in almost
baronial grandeur at the Livingston
manor in Columbia county, New
York. He had learned that French
nobleman, who was a refugee from
the prosecutions OF Robespierre's fam
atics, was residing on the island in
Oneida Lake.
Moved by generous impulses the
chancellor set out on Journey, which
1f4r:ay,1% f011 ~
mostly Indian trails through the for
est with the design OF a paying visit
to the nob1e refugees in their island
home.
He tarried short time as the
guest of Count St. Hilary and then
returned to Livingston manor, ac-
companied by the count and lady
who became his guests during the
remainder Of their stay in this
country.
In 1903 Livingston was United
States minister of France. At the
same time Robert Fuloon was expert
menting with steamboat on the
Seine. The Count and Countess Hi
larry, too who had been restored by
Bonaparte, were in Paris and wit
messed the experiment.
They renewed now the acquaintance
I with L1v1ngSTOn which was begun IN
the wilds of America, and extended
him an invitation to visit sthem In
Paris.
Fulton's experiments on the Seine
were successful and to attain greater
speed with improved machinery he
determined TO construct vessel ol
larger dimensions, which he proceeded
to launch on the waters Of New York
harbor.
A steam engine for the vessel was
ordered from the works of Watt
Bolton, in Birmingham, Eng, and i
reached New York toward the close
of 1906.
The name chosen for the "irs
| steambcstn by livingston and Futto,
was the Clermont which was the
family name OF the beautiful Counties!
St. Hilary. The choice of this name
was In commemoration of the friend
ship begun on the island in Oneid;
Lake, and renewed in the brillian
salons of Paris.
1t was a happy inspiration, ant
proved to be the omen of success
The Clermont left the shipyard O
, Charles Brown ON the east side of tn
city, early in August. 1907, and wa
propelled by her engines across tn
harbor to Jersey City.
Thence on August 7, Fulton set ou
on his trial trip to Albany. which cit
he reached in 32 hours The retur
trip was made in 80 hours.

Largest Farm in the world.


In the extreme southwest corner of
Louisiana lies the largest producing
farm in the world. Measuring 100
miles north and south and twenty five
miles east and west. it is owned and
operated by syndicate of Northern
capital The The 500 500, e990 acres ef
the tract were purchased in 1883 from
the State of Louisiana and from the
United States government. At that
time it was a vast grazing land for
the cattle of the few dealers of the
neigh neigh flbseeaA eee6d -e4es 80 900 head of
half-wild horses and cattle being
thereon. Now this immense tract is
divided into convenient pasture sta
tions. or ranches existing every six
miles. The fencing alone cost in the
nelghborhood of So 900. The land is
best adapted for rice, sugar. corn and
cotton. All cultivating. ditching. ETC..
is done by steam power. A tract, say
half mile wide, is taken and an en- :
gine is placed on each side. The en-
gines are portable, and operate a
cable attached to four plows, and
under this arrangement thirty acres
a day are gone over with the labor OF
three men. Narrowing. planting; and
other cultivation is done in like
manner. There is not a. single
draught horse on the entire place.
Of course horses are used for the
herders of cattle, OF which there are
l6, 900 head. The Southern Pacific
Railway runs for thirty six miles
through the farm. The company have
three steamboajs operating on the
waters of their estates. of which there
are 800 miles navigabie. They have
also an ice-house, a bank. ship.
yard, and rice mill.

CURING AN ELEPHANT.
He was Intelligent Enough to Endure
Pain When 1t was Necessary.

He was Intelligent Enough to Endure
Pain When 1t was Necess
Calcutta is a fine, large city on the
northeast coast Of India, and one who
lived there tells strange but true
story of how doctor cured the big
gest patient he ever had. The pa
tient was huge elephant. who for a
long time had suffered from a disease
in his eyes, which at last got so bad
he could not see.
His owner, an English officer, went
to Dr. Webb and begged him to come
and see what could be done. He did
and. after looking carefully at the
giant creature. the doctor said: "1'he
best cure that | know of is nitrate OF
silver; but it will give a good deal of
pain"
Perhaps some of my readers whose
friends have bad eyes have heard the
name of this remedy.
Well the owner said we had better
try, and if the animal would not
allow it he must give it up.
But-would you believe 1.-THE ele-
phant who like most of his race, was
as wise as he was big. found so much
relief from his first days doctoring
that when DIR. WEBB visited him the
next day he lay down of his own ac-
cord, placed his great heavy head on
one side, curled up his trunk, and
then. just like you or / might If we
were going to bear some dreadful
pain, he drew in his breath and lay
perfectly still The healing mixture
was dropped into each eye. and when
the sharp. short pain was gone, he
gave great sigh, as much as to say
That's good thing got over. Ifeel
all the better for it." When he got
up, he tried. in his poor. dumb fash
ION to thank his friend for giving him
back his sight

Garnata chean as Dirt.

"Where do garnets come from?' was
asked Of a traveller of jewelry firm.
''Garnets!' Why, they are as cheap
as dirt In the raw. You can buy all
the rough garnets you want for from
ten to twenty cents pound. The cut
ting is what makes them valuable. The
majority of them are found In the
archean or granite formation and in
porphyritic formations. You find tin
and you find garnets. When those
thre Cornishmen brought three tons of
pure cassitrite ore from Cornwall to
salt fake tin mine In the Black
Hills they did not forget the garnets.
They shot the earth full OF garnets and
tin ore from shotguns and realized
about $24O, 600 on tha deal.

American Girls Invading Germany.

German girls are beginning to resent
with bitterness Of spirit, as do their
English sisters. the encroachment of
American beauties upon their pre-
serves. These pretty, graceful, and
brilliant daughters Of Columbia are
sent to Germany to study music, paint
Ing, literature. etc, and while quickly
mastering the arts, subjugate the
hearts of the susceptible German
officers as well. The number of officers
with American wives seems to be rapid
" on the increase. and the faithful
German spinsters, with their frugal
habits and domestic skill, object to the
the invaders with justifiable wrath.
