Art of Takinr-Leave.

It frequently happens that the mo-
ments of leave taking are so prolonged
as to become the larger part of visit.
When caller rises to go, the family
rise also. Then another topic springs to
life, and the conversation is renewed.
The silent members group respectively
around the departing visitor. One topic
melts into another, and the tableau dis
solves to seek temporary and secret re-
lief from standing, on the edges of
tables. the arms of chairs, or any con-
venient projection, with arms twined
around waists, or curtains, or anything
that offers alienation. Failing these,
thew rest on one foot, and then on an
other. I have seen a whole family
standing on one foot, like barn-yard
chickens on a cold morning, with guest
lowering on the eve of departure, yet
STAYING on. Who does not remember
auch occasions? The conversation flags;
hone revives. Another springs up; DIS
appointment settles with leaden wings.
When At last the departure is finally
made. the household is physically and
mentally Frustrated. "Stand not upon
the order Of your going, but go at once"
The moment of rising should only pre-
code The moment of leaving. A few
oracious words, cordial hand pressure,
and Che ordeal which many find so diff
ficult. is over, leaving nothing but pleas
ant memories.

THE report of the Forests Commission
to the New York Legislature on the
proposed Adirondack State Park pro-
vides for tract of 2,307, 700 acres, of
which the State at present owns about
one quarter. This will certainly be one
of the most magnificent parks in exist
ence. There will be nearly 60, 900 acres
of water suitable for boating and hunt
inp excursions. The total value of the
land within the proposed park is $751;
OGO. 1t is thought that the Legislature
may possibly push the western line of
the park over the northern portion of
the adjacent land and include 100000
acres, which are now in danger of being
taken up by timber speculators.

The inhabitants of The Hague are
delighted at once more having royalty
in their midst, and the sight of the day
is the little Queen taking her afternoon

turned to her books and masters just as
if she was still at Het Loo. Her ia

AT Deadwood the Elkhorn contractors
paid out for labor during last summer
and fall $3.50, 900. OF this $500, 1000 went
for board and clothing, $4,000 was
taken out of the country, and $500, 200
was spent for whisky and its concomitant
vices.
WILBUR SMITH, Of Deadwood, is au-
thority for the statement that the we'll
on the premises where he resides is
veritable gold mine, as every bucket of
water drawn from it contains more or
less colors of the precious metal. A
short time ago he stirred up the gravel
at the bottom, then drew up several tubs
full of the liquid, and when it settled

quite handsome cleanup. The hillside

never been worked, but the probability
now is that an extensive hydraulic plant
will be put in operation.

sallow appearance of those children who

hushed, as he thinks the after effects are
less disastrous.

SOUTH DAKOTA INTERESTS.
A shut Out for wild. Cat Banking,

Private banks cannot do business in
South Dakota after Aug. 1. This meas
ure was put through the legislature dur
ing its closing hours. All banks must be
incorporated after that date. The law
provides that the least amount of capital
stock of banks shall be $4,000 for all
towns of less than 1000 inhabitants,
$s5, 900 for towns having more than 1000
and less than 5000 inhabitants, and $780,
600 for towns having more than 5000
population. Private banks have been
started in this state with less than 81, 900
capital and have done business entirely
with funds of depositors. Several banks
of this kind failed during the last year
for amounts ranging from ST, 900 to $780,
600 each. and this law was enacted to
protect the people, although it is
charged that it is scheme of incorpo-
rated banks to shut out the rival banks.

Trouble at tho university,

A trouble of peculiar nature is just
on at the university at Vermillion
When Rev. H. B. Crosse was appointed
about one year ago to fill the position
Off the deceased president, DIR. Ed
ward Olson, it was to fill position
which not one man in thousand could
have done satisfactorily. He went to
work with will, but lacked the expert
ence to make his administration sue
cessful one at once. Many of the
students, however, having been opposed
to the appointment Of an eastern man,
began to find fault with his method
and manner of conducting the univers-
ity, and the sentiment eliminated by
those same students getting up petit
tion to the board of regents wherein
they air all their feelings against the
president. They ask the board to duly
consider their position and take action
in regard to deposing him. A committee
of students waited upon him and re-
quested him to resign. He refused to
Go so. The petition has been circulated
pretty thoroughly among the students
and quite per cent. of them signed it.
A little excitement prevailed among the
students for day or so but it has about
quoted down. The faculty as vet have
taken no definite action, hoping that the
affair could be amicably settled. The
citizens of the city are taking no part in

Warner Citizens Oppose the County Pur-

WARNER S. D., March 19.-At meet
ing of citizens of Warner township, reso-
buttons were passed authorizing an
injunction to be served upon the Brown
county commissioners to prevent them
from issuing $780, 900 worth of warrants
for the purchase of seed wheat. Other
townships in the southern portion Of the
county have signified their willingness
to fight the county commissioners on this
