While South Dakota democrats are
shouting for Grover Cleveland, Judge
Lafabre, one ofthe Rapid City delegate 6
10 the recent democratic convention,
gives the "snap" away in the following
interview with Sioux City Journal re
porter: "Our convention was thorough
ly harmonious and success in every
way. We did not instruct, because we
did not want to hamper our delegates
in the Chicago convention. We want
them to be in position to throw their
support TO the man that stands the best
chance Of winning Yes, / guess that
the convention was little afraid OF
Cleveland and Hill. II thought il ad
visable not TO instruct the delegates 80
that they can work against the nomina-
tion of either one in case they fail to
patch up the fight in New York. The
convention was really a Boies affair.
His name was cheered more and louder
and longer than that of any other can
didate mentio ned. Unless the New
York fight is mended | think it pos
sible that South Dakota will support
Boies."

Chas. F. Montgomery, president of the
German National Bank of Lincoln was
shot and killed by his former friend and
partner, w. II. Irvine, a prominent bust =
ness man of Salt Lake City. Montgom-
cry was frequent visitor to the home
Of the Iryines, and succeeded in ruin
ing the wife of his host. The terrib BILE
tragedy which occurred in the dining
room of the Hotel Lincoln was the re-
suit, the wife having previously confess
ed her guilt. Irvine is held on a charge
Of murder, but even if convicted, which
is doubtful, he will without question be
pardoned. The sympathy of everyone
who believes in the sanctity of the home
is with this man who visited swift and
terrible retribution on the destroyer
of his happiness AS long as serpents
exist, God grant that there may be heels
ready to crush them.

The Way to Save.

1.-THE way to get rich is to save money
by regular system" said the president
of savings bank to the writer. Zone
of our depositors early in the existence
of this institution was a newsboy. He
sold papers on Pennsylvania avenue
Every day he came in and deposited
twenty-five cents. He never missed a
day when the bank was open, and after
awhile he had accumulated over thou
sand dollars. He drew out the cash and
bought piece of land with it. Now he
is well to do citizen.
"The difficult thing with most people
is to make the first start in saving. AT
ter one has got together few dollars in
reserve fund an appetite for accumu-
lation is acquired. 1t becomes an object
in life to put something aside, which rep
resents an insurance against misfortune.
People in this country are not much
given to saving compared to Europeans.
They usually live up to the last penny
of their incomes or just little beyond.
This is certainly very unfortunate. In
case of loss of employment suffering for
the wage Garner and his family is apt to
follow. Washington Star. ...

made the sentinel hear his voice aboard
the guarda costa and caused them to
send him boat.
The captain could not be made to un-
derstand what was the matter, and when
he was charged with having thrown the
revenue officer overheard and with hav-
ing struggled boats alongside, he raised
his hands in holy horror toward the stars
and Indignantly replied:
SITS all contrived lie. Why" said
he to the other officers of the guarda
costa, ''that gentleman dined with me;
we drank pretty freely, and then came
up from the cabin, when both of us lay
down here to sleep. | did not wake up
until now; he must have been dreaming
and have fallen overheard in his sleep!
You all saw that was sound asleep
when you came aboard, how then could
have thrown him overheard? The idea
is absurd, nonsensical, the whole story
improbable-yes, impossible-see, my
matches are all battened down, just as
they were when you were on board
when l came in from sea today; moth
ing has been moved; my crew are all
asleep. He must have been dreaming,
and while he dreamed of smugglers and
the like of such he must have fallen
overheard. He knows very well that he
was as drunk as lord"
The story of the captain was well con-
ceived. and told with better effect among
all the revenue officers, save the victim
himself, who called upon every saint in
the calendar to come down and swear
that his story was true. But the perfect
order and quietude of our vessel; the
crew all sound asleep; the matches all
battened down, just as they were in the
morning; the honest Indignation of our
sleepy captain, and the acknowledge
ment of the victim that he had been
very drunk, compared badly with his
own story, and the yarn of Captain Mar
tin was believed. The soaked official
was taken back to his own vessel, to be
tried and punished for sleeping on his
watch, while another officer was left in
his place to keep us from smuggling
When daylight came we weighed an
Choir and sailed up to the town, where
we honestly discharged the cargo per
manifest, paying honorably all charges
and duties thereon.-Ned Buntline in

Horseshoes without Nails.

The tests that have been made by a
street car company of Paris of new
form of nailless horseshoes have been so
successful that the company has decided
to employ this shoe exclusively in the
future. The new shoe is made of Bes-
semer steel, and in appearance is similar
to the ordinary iron shoe, except that it
has a bent lever that attaches itself half
way up the rear of the hoof without in
any way COMPRISING it.
A clamp incloses the hoof, parting the
two heels of the shoe, and is supported
on the top of the lever. which wholly
sustains it, and thereby prevents COM
preston of sSy part of the hoof. The
shoe is also lifted with three small in
terror clamps. which penetrate the horn
of the hoof and prevent displacement OF
the shoe without the preliminary raising
of the clamp. A number of private
firms in Paris have also tested the shoe
with success 1t is considered by many
that this form of shoe will sooner or
later revolutionize the farrier's industry.

Peep at a Child Wife in India.

A Portland lady, who is now on her
way home from India, writes to friend
that she had good opportunity to wit
ness one of the ceremonies peculiar to
that far land-a marriage of a girl
child to middle aged man. In this
instance the bride, who was Of high So
cial rank, was regarded by her people as
really old, having reached her twelfth
year. Etiquette requires that the bride
shall not be seen to smile or take notice
of any person for period of three days.
But the Portland lady was determined
that she would see how the downcast
face looked, and finally got down on her
knees upon the same mat upon which
the richly attired bride sat and took a
good look up into her face.-Bangor

miles above; but, for reasons best known
to himself, the captain anchored as soon
as we passed the fort and rounded Point

Stockholders Are Women.

Women are generally credited with
being the greatest tea drinkers and the
best judges of the cup that cheers. The
thought that in these days of womanly

should not be purveyors as well as con-
sumers of tea seems to have occurred to
a company of ladies in London, who are

the state board.

work. I should do great injustice to
many energetic women with whom /
talked during both visits, and from

A Cup of Chocolate.

The most delicious cup of chocolate
ever drunk was served at luncheon the
other day. The receipt for the mixture,
which the hostess said was of Mexican
origin, is four small squares of sweet
chocolate heated until soft over tea
kettle or saucepan. Add a quart of milk
to the chocolate and stir it smooth; then
while it is heating break three eggs and
separate the whites and yolks.
Cream the yolks, froth the whites, and
when the chocolate boils set the pot in a
cool place, mix half cupful of it with
the yolks of the eggs and when well
mixed beat them rapidly with the re-
mainder of the chocolate. Stir in the
whites of the eggs as quickly and serve
at once. The eggs must be added be-
fore the chocolate has time to cool, and
must ON no account be boiled after they
are stirred in. Serve with salty, I'M
