No ONE is surprised that the Peo-
PIES party of South Dakota has de-
clared for the sub-treasury. Nothing
else could be expected of people who
hurrahed for years tor protection until
it made paupers OF them. They have
learned nothing from poverty. But
we have handful of alleged Democrats
down here who think. like their Da-
kota brethren. that they know it all.

one Thing He Couldn't See.

lEEOlH llc Nc" 1OIh lllucS,I
 The big family of railroad men, brokers, and law makers who take their evening re- taxation at the Windsor hotel are just now enjoying 8 story from General Schuyler halls of western state, where an ambit- ious member lately attempted his maiden speech. He had written out his remarks, which began: "There is one thing cannot see," and reached the capitol on the event ful!day set for its delivery, con fdent that the manuscript reposed safely in an inside pocket. Getting the speakers eye, the new member began: "There is one thing, MT. Speaker, that I cannot see," mean while diving into his coat for the speech. It was not where he expected to find it, but fearing to lose his chance, and still confident that it would turn up, his hands flew around to the pockets of his coat tails, | and he continued: 'I say, MT. Speaker, | that there is one thing I cannot see." The | precious paper was still elusive and the member began to plunge through his poek- cts in desperate hunt for the speech. His associates saw his plight and became inter- ested. "T repeat, MT. Speaker" he bust 1 cred, "that there is one thing I cannot see." By this time the assembly was snickering. The speech could not be found and the speaker was stumped. He took his seat, red and perspiring, with genera guffaw to add to discomfort. Then rose the wag of the assembly.
 "Mr. Speaker" he said, ithe honorable gentleman from Winona informs us that there is one thing he cannot see. There if also one thing cannot see, but which ev cry other member can see, and that is the back of my neck"
 The member from Winona has indefinite ly postponed his maiden effort.

Woman En Cavalier.

The mortified opposers of the movement for women's riding en cavalier may be in- terested in learning that, had it not been for an accident of fashion, the gentler sex would be striding their horses still, and that the side saddle is not an invention due to the advanced modesty of utilization. It appears that one Anna of Bohemia, eldest daughter of German emperor and wife of an English king, introduced the custom, not from delicate repulsion to the old me- thod, but simply because she was afflicted with some sort of deformity that rendered it impossible for her to ride upon the sad dies in common use. In those days it was imperative that woman should ride. ac- cordingly the first side saddle was invent ed. Royalty had then, as now, snobbish | followers ever on the elert to adopt fash. ions honored by its patronage, and in 6 | few months every woman of place in Eng
 land possessed side saddle, and the GUS
 tom was established. While the move
 ment, then, is not so radical as at first ap pears, it is the opinion of all women oi | good sense and fine feeling, and men a
 well, that the girl or woman who canno
 ride in comfort without adopted costume
 and attitude quite foreign to the preced
 ents of her sex, had better walk or remain
 at home. The woman who defies convent
 ionality does it ever at her cost. If he
 motives be the accomplishment of som
 worthy purpose she may be forgiven, bu | if 1t be only in the pursuit of amusemen | that she asserts herself, the recompense O her transgression will transform the frui of joy to apples of Sodom-ashes within.

REGENT PUBLICATIONS.

'Life of Jane Welsh Carlyle," by Mrs. Alexander Ireland. There is no question of the temper and appreciative touch of the author throughout this intensely in teresting volume. Those, and there are many, who will question the delicacy, if not the right, to thus unveil the private life of sensitive and reticent woman, must recollect that Carlyle himself, in the perverted sense of honesty of mighty egoist, was the real offender;-that Mrs. Ireland but renders, gently and gracefully, what he, at the hands of MT. Froude, had already made public. These two were suffering, mis-mated souls, yet Carlyle made many journey from London to Haddington church-yard to kneel and weep, and to kiss again and again the grass that grew over his wife's resting place. Published by Charles L. Webster & Co.,, New York. For sale by E. P. Judd.

JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL.

JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL.
 James Russell Lowell, whose death was announced yesterday, inherited from his parents good mind and good heart. He was educated at Harvard and was admitted to the bar in 184O. But he was no lawyer and the only record of his legal career is found in his story entitled "My First Client" which was published in the Bos- ton Miscellany. Discovering that he was better fitted for literature than for law he forsook the latter promptly and being deeply and romantically in love published volume of poems in which youth and love were conspicuous. He married the woman he loved in 1S44 ,and it is interesting to note that both he and his wife were prom inent at that early day among the opponents of slavery. He began the publication of the first series of the "Biglow Papers" in 1916, and many will think that these pa pers are the most important work he ever did. In the main they were satire on slavery and the Mexican war, but there was scarcely any cant, hypocrisy or mean ness in politics, the pulpit and the press that they did not hit They had tre- mendous effect on public sentiment here and attracted much attention in Europe. Their keenness, good sense and wit will make them readable when the circum- stances of their writing are but dimly re- membered. The second series of the pa pers had an even more powerful effect than the first. His words were very help ful all through the stormy times preceding the rebellion and the still stormier times in which it was put down.
 It was fitting that man who had done so much for this country as Mir. Lowell had, and who was so well fitted to repre- sent it abroad should be chosen to do so. His career as minister to Spain and Eng land shed new luster on his name and added much to his reputation both here and in Europe. Probably no man in this generation has done as much as he did tc raise his country and his countrymen in the esteem of the English. Certainly nc representative of this country was ever more popular in England. His public life was altogether creditable and useful.
 MT. Lowell will probably be longest anc best remembered as patriot, but his title
 to high place az a poet and prose
 writer is clear Many good judges thinl
 he was the best critic that this country
 has ever produced, and readers every
 where have approved both his poetry ant
 prose- He deserves lasting remembrance
 by his countrymen.

----------- WASTED TIME,

People cannot work all the time. And an interesting inquiry which has been made shows that this inability to work all the time is an important matter. The ex- perience of all the armies of Europe has been studied, and it has been found that people have to lose much time by sickness. The European armies are made up of men between the ages of IS and 25, who. while in service, are not only carefully and sui fciently fed, but are also put through various forms of exercise in a manner cal culated to keep them in the best of phys ical condition, while not overexerting their powers. It might, therefore, be assumed
 that the average of sickness would be
 quite as small in this class as in any
 large class that could be selected.
 Beside this, although in France,
 Germany and Italy every young man
 is expected to serve in the ranks,
 there is an exclusion made in the cases of
 those who are obviously unfit for the ser above the average on the score of selection The tables show that each soldier has, or an average, sixteen or seventeen days 1T the year when he is incapable of doing work, an experience which apparently 1 holds good in each of the three grea l armies. If this is the experience of loss O. | time in consequence Of ill health under sucf favorable conditions, it may be safe to as | sume that the waste thus occasioned ii | greater among older men and those living | under more unfavorable physical condi 1 tions.
 Add to the time lost through incapacit, for work that lost through indisposition t. work or inability to obtain work and the | total would be melancholy.

Literary Frauds.


 About thirty years since a well-known publisher bought collection of letters all legged to be in the handwriting of Shelley, one of whose oldest surviving friends tes- tiied to a belief in their authenticity. They were ushered into the world by a preface from the pen of Robert Browning, but withdrawn few days after publica- tion upon the discovery that they were made up from articles by Sir Francis Pal grave in the Quarterly Review. A year or two later a volume of letters by Schiller was announced as forthcoming, a prelimi- nary certificate of their genuineness hay ing been obtained from his last surviving daughter. Before they left the press they were clearly shown to be spurious.
 A notice of the impostures of NJ. Simon ides, whose career has but recently termin- ated, will bring these examples of fraudu- lent apocrypha down to our own time. His chief success are believed to have gained in duping the. authorities of great national libraries by the sale of sham | antique manuscripts, but for obvious req sons the particulars of these cases have not been generally disclosed, and the state | ments on the subject which have appeared in the public journals must be accepted with some reserve. The eminent scholar | Dindorf, is said to have been one of his victims in Germany. It has been stated | that the trustees of the British museum were deceived into buying from him a false memorandum addressed by Belisarius | to Justinian, but this statement has been since denied. That he sold to Ismail Pas ha forged manuscript of Aristotle, and to wealthy English peer two spurious letters of Alcibiades to Pericles, for which he obtained high prices, is an assertion more credible, and as yet uncontradicted. His most remarkable failure seems to have been at Athens, where he tried to per suade a committee of twelve scholars that a manuscript of Homer, written on the locus leaves, was a genuine codex of very early date Eleven of the number are said to have been satisfied, "but the twelfth discovered that it was faithful copy of the text of Homer as published by the German critic Wolff, and that the manuscript reproduced the whole of tn, printers errors in that edition,
