Sixty-Four years Married.

Greene county can probably boast of
having one of the oldest married couples
in the state. David Sickle and Mary,
his wife, are the happy pair. They have
been living together for sixty-four years,
having been married in 1926. The COM
bined ages of the two are ia years. Both
are still enjoying fairly good health.
Mr.. Sickle was born in Washington
county fully ninety-one years ago, and
moved to his present residence in Morris
in 1S40 Eight children were born as
the fruits of this union, and three are
still living. The old gentleman is quite
active and his mental faculties are good.
He was always an industrious man, and
he still cuts his wood and does many
other odd jobs about the farm

is said of US and our beautiful burg in the

This, no doubt, is the cause. Again, not
many people know anything about US, as
we are somewhat at the one side, and not
exactly located on the great highway.
Still we are here and doing nicely; have
plenty to eat and to wear and goodly

Small grain planting is pretty much over
with. Our dry farms do not show up quite
as well as usual, but we have big hopes of
fine crops. The water in this valley is not

the people have more than they need, while
here on the west side there is but little.

How Cinnamon Pray.

When Johu Chinaman goes to pray
in his own orthdox style, and not
"allee samec Melikan man," he stands
on a carpet in front of a high altar on
which sits the lifc-sized, gorgcousiy.
dressed god, Joss" In his hand lie
holds two pieces of wood, round on
one side and flat on the other. After
saying his prayer he drops these o,
the carpet, and according as they fal
he. knows whether or not the prayer is
answered. If both sticks fall on thcil
fiat side the omen is very bad; il one
falls on the fiat, the other on its round
side, his prayer is granted; if both fall
on their round sides it is sign of be-
ing partly granted.
Another way OF praying is by means
Of small strips of red paper, on which
the prayer is printed and then pinned
to the wall near the door. If a Chinese
woman wishes for son she sends in
her printed slip; if a Chinaman wishes
to send horse or house to some de-
parted spirit he cuts out an image OF
it on the slip. Fire is the means of
communicating with heaven, SO after
awhile the priest burns ali these paper
prayers in Il handsome bronze furnace,
which stands outside the door, and
thus they are supposed to GO direct to
heaven.

Soldiers Home,

Editor UN1oN:-While in the busy c,ty
OF Hot Springs recently, visited the
soldiers Home and passed a couple OF
very pleasant hours in chatting with the
old comrades there and the genial and
gentlemanly manager, Captain Lucus.
The Home is an imposing structure OF
white sand stone, quarried near by and
the inside OF the building is solidly, but
not eXpensively fineshed and furnished,
The building is amply provided with
bath rooms on the different floors and
the hot water from the spring is pumped
to them, as is also an ample supply OF
cold spring water. There were thirty
eight inmates when I was there and
twelve more applications pending which
will come in after the holidays. So far
as l WAS able to see from SO brief an IN
spcction, there is but one point in the
management that needs censure and
that is the rule relative to the pension
money of inmates. 1t seems that the
board OF directors, taking judicial
notice OF the depleted state OF the public
treasury Of Sonth Dakota, teok the
| law into their own hands and declared
that inmates who-have no families de-
pendent on them must deposit their
pension money with the manager to be
used in defraying the expenses OF the
institution The directors may not
| have intended that rule for an outrage
when they made it, hut it isn't any
thing else. The men who are today
| limping around the rooms and corridors
of the Soldiers Home, are prematurely
| old because OF Il sacrifice made on their
icountryfs alter years ago, when their
eyes were bright, their limbs supple and
their forms erect. The little the govern
ment pays them in the way OF pensions
is a feeble effort to reccompense for the
premature old age they have reached
1 and the suffering they have and are
still enduring. Does any one suppose
that money can repay man for the
loss OF limbs, can human suffering be
measured and counted in dollars and
dimes as we compute grain and potatoes?
] Does the world contain money enough
to tempt a man to give up his health
and strength in the pride OF his man

The Kennedy Case.

John Derry Kennedy, was indicted
by the grand jury for perjury. Mr.. Ken
nedy has fed the poor, on contract, for
a number OF years and his bill for the
first quarter Of the past year was ST.
600 To this bill the board objected
and by inquiry satisfied themselves that
there had been over charges. The board
cut the bill one-half and Kennedy sued
for the balance. In presenting the bill
Mr. Kennedy made affidavit to it and
on this the indictment was found. The
case occupied the attention OF the court
during nearly all OF last week. Judge
Nowln charged the jury on Friday alter
noon and they were out until Saturday
at three p. m. before an agreement was
reached. 1t Is reported that on the
first ballot the jury stood ten to two
for conviction, which verdict was finally
reached. An appeal will be taken.
Thes state did dnotshow the discrepancies
that were claimed, but did establish
thai two nursing infants were returned as
pauper5 aid the contract price, S4.SO
per week, charged for them. An elder
daughter of one family was also re-
turned, although it was proven that she
was out at service. We are sorry that
Mr. Kennedy hasgot himself into this
boat. We believe that many more
guilty men go scott free. There is no
doubt but that the jury in the case were
largely influenced in the matter by the
utter disregard for an oath so often eX-
liibited by jurors and witnesses and
lesson The action of the board in the
matter was Tor the best interest OF the
county.
