THE DAKoTAS.

Gov. Burke, of North Dakota, was

news even yet.-Philadelphia Times.
The Sioux Falls Press thinks South
Dakota is enjoying weather that would
make an angel feel at home.-East

Au Indian has applied for a divorce
in South Dakota. Is not this a refuta-
ton Of the charge that Lo cannot be
civilized?--St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
AT last the Indian shows signs of civ
iliZation. A buck has been convicted
of forging a bank check in Montana,
and another has secured divorce in
Dakota Plain Dealer.
The latest addition to the colony of
divorce-hunterS at Sioux Falls is a Con-

There is no more striking illustration

of food, possibilities which the world

Their Careers Do Not Show Her;d-
itary Genius.
New York Recorder.
The second son Of Dickens was Fran
els Godfrey Dickens. And some of us
who have mixed in the newspaper life
of London and Chicago and Calcutta
knew him well, for one must write the
sad past tense. Dear Frank Dickens
was born in the year 1S4l-he was the
fourth child. In his notebook the now
elist wrote: "A plump and merry little
chap, this second son of mine"
Poor little chapl
He canght the Fleet street fever and
went ink mad; he caught the Dahooley
fever aud flashed and fiesheu his sword
i'll India; he fought Louis Riel in Can
ada-aye. and captured Big Bear; he
came to Chicago and gambled away h is
money i'll Clark street gambling
house; he died one windy, sleety night
III grim little Illinois town-MoIine.
There he is buried.
But his brother Henry did we'll; won
the second scholarship at Trinity hall at
the age OF twenty, and was twenty-ninth
Wfangier IN a fair year, when the
wFanglers were over forty. He is now
asuccessful barriSter, with a wife and
five children.
And the daughters of Dickens? The
Oldest is unmarried; the other is Mrs.
''kittie" Perugini. deservedly well
known portrait painter. Mrs. "Kittie's"
faine-if one must be fairly accurate
is a wee. small affair. but then she has
done something; she has painted the
portrait of that barOnet OF baccarat, Sir
William Gordon Cumming.
Junior Charles Dickens has three
daughters. Two of them run a type
writing establishment Off Covent Gar
den; the third, Mary, is playing small
parts in a stock company touring the
provinces.

NEW BOOKS,

The author of 'rhe Crime of Sylves-
ter Bonnard" has, in 'Thais," given to
the reading public a peculiar book.
"Thais" is the story of Paphnuce, abbot
of Arsinoe, and That's, an actress and
courtesaD of Alexandria. There is
something of the technique of the mod.
ern French school in parts Of the stOryI
and IN depicting the passions of man
whose mind has become morbid TO the
verge of insanity through the constant
self-analysis and meditation practIced
by those early Christians, the author
writes with great strength. The fan
cies of Paphnuce's brain and the eX-
cesses to which his religious mania leads
him form the subject matter of some
Well-described scenes, and give a
glimpse of the intense eXaltation of the
early enthusiasts. The various systems
OF philosophy practiced at that time are
vividly cOntraSted, and the discussion
of Judas Iscariot's instrumentality in
the redemption is intricate enough
tiyity of Gotta, the absolute equanimity
of the agnostic, the Epicurean and the
philosopher who steals the wisdom OF
Epictetus without giving him credit for
it, are brought into effective juXtapOSi-
ton. The cynicism of the author is
distinctly apparent, and That's herself
is lndistinct and somewhat inconsistent.
"Paphnuce" would have been a more
fitting name for the book, as it deals
with his life and the final overthrow of
his anchorite holiness by the most car
nal Of passions.
duplicate Whist" by John j. Mitch
ell. will be found an instructive book
for lovers of the game In addition to
this, it will be found also entertaining
because it is written in luminous style
seldom found in works descriptive of
technical points, professional, scientific
or otherwise. Duplicate whist is one OF
the many modern progressions i'll card
games that have, during the past
twenty years, invaded society. 1t is
useless to attempt description
of the innovation within the limits of a
review of the book. The work alone
can do that. But it may be safely said
that the rules of and methods for play
ing duplicate whist are clear, exact,
lucid and comprehensive. The work con-
tains an appendix of whist laws, leads and
differences of the modern game, together
with the laws of American whist, and
the code of rules adopted by the first
American whist congress. held at Mil
waukee, Wis, in 1891.

When Sherman reached Atlanta he

stringent orders that no one was to be

He had passed through to Atlanta, but
att Chattanooga they refused to BLOW

They had only been married few
weeks, and he had resolved that she
should go with him, orders or no orders.
Accordingly, he dressed her as soldier
and managed to smuggle her on train.
At Resaca she was stopped, her sex be-
ing discovered. The officer of the post
absolutely refused to let her go on. The
surgeon pleaded. Finally, after APP

WHAT HE CLAIMS

The gold cure mediator comes to the
defense OF his system against the carp
ing and lmputationS that have been
thrown at it. If large fraction of the
results he claims are veritable and dur
able, he must be credited with the
greatest practical reform work ever ac-
complished by any agency for the rec
Iamationot the Incorporate. He states
that branches of the original sanitarium
have been established in thirty-one
states, and the operations of the system
were never being SO rapidly extended
as now. In the past twelve years over
10000 persons have been reclaimed
from drunkenness by his treatment,
and are today sober, industrious
and useful citizens. Thousands of
them were in the gutter, and burden
TO society and their friends. A very
large portion of them have now gone
on for years without indulgence in
liquor or any taste for It, He does not
call the work reformati on. but a cura-
tive process, the removal of a disease.
Ii IS not claimed that a man can be
equipped with a moral nature anv
more than in the elimination of any
other disease, but he can be put in the
condition he was before he commenced
the use of liquors, with no craving. If
he perverSely seeks to regain the
Old appetite. he can do so, but it will

STATION DESPAIR.

We must trust the conductor, most surely
Why millions of millions before
Have made this same journey securely
And come to that ultimate shore.
And we, we will reach it in season;
And ah, what welcome is therei
Reflect, then. how out of all reason
To stop at the station despair.
Ay, midnights and many a potion
OF little black water have we,
AS we journey from ocean to oceau-
From sea unto ultimate sea-
TO that deep sea of seas, and all silence
Of passion, concern and of care
That vast sea of Eden set islands
Don't stop at the station despairl
Go forward, whatever may follow,
Go forward, friend led or alone;
All, me, to leap off in some hollow
Or fen, in the night and unknown
Leap off ike thief; try to hide you
From angels, allwaiting you therei
Go forward whatever betide you
Don't stop at that station despair

audience was set to laughing and could
not stop after he was taken home unit
death resulted. That was good while
ago. There has been no danger of that

BECOMING POPULAR.

The election OF United States sena-
tors by the people, or the only present
practicable approach TO it, the naming
of the choice of the party in the state
conventions, is getting such hold of the
people as the question is agitated that
policy will dictate its adoption in cases
where parties need to gain strength in a
state contest. 1t is pretty clearly in
dictated by the Democratic press in
Michigan that it will be adopted by that
party there, and the Republicans may
be forced to the same course. About the
only active opposition comes from cam
didates, their organs and friends. Their
arguments have suspicious. if not
metallic, sound to the popular ear. When
a candidate is rot willing to trust his in
tereStS to the body that comes nearest
to the people, there may we'll be dis
trust of the man and his agencies. To
bring mercenary influences to bear eff
fectively upon large convention, to be
In existence but day or two, would be
a very costly and hazardous operation.
Suspicious would be aroused, and in
the long campaign take such tangible
shape as to work great injury to the
party concerned. The convention is a
temporary body, and impUtations upon
its Integrity would have vastly less in
jury to the public than in the case of the
legislature. The latter is the body that
crystalllzeS the general needs into laws,
and if it is tainted there will be less
confidence in its work. A suspicion of
bribery in senatorial election in the
early days of a legislature hangs like a
cloud over Its entire career, and causes
decentralization and lack of confidence.
With other conditions similar, too often
the aspirant with the greatest reputed
wealth and most dubious methods is
the successful person. The senate has
come to be designated as the million
aires club, by reason of its composition.
AS an illustration, in Ohio there has
hardly been an exception in decades
when the millionaire has not been
elected by the legislature, and in every
case there have been imputations of the
improper use of money. The present
contest, in which Millionaire SHERMAN
is likely to be successful, affords no ex-
ception, if the statements of Republi-
cans are to be taken. The vote of the
people would have rarely elected the
man who prevailed with the legislature.
The temptations to legislative virtue are
usually quite sufficient, withou putting
the SenatorShip into the shambles. A
new method of dealing with this ques-
ton is growing demand of the people.
