THE WASTE OF SHOE LEATHER.
Some Statistical Facts That Are Inter-
cstinE.

Some industrious statistician has
been employing his spare time com
putino how much shoe leather is daily
worn from the soles of foot passengers
in New York.
He has found out by ANALYSIS, accord
mo to the World, that among the many
ingredients which go to make up the
dust and mud in New York streets,
shoe leather plays a prominent part.
1t may be assumed, he argues, that
about 5000, 900 people daily do more
or less walking in the streets CT New
York and that on an average six grains
of leather is worn from the soles OF
each.
On this assumption it follows that
every day 2,344 pounds of shoe leather
becomes incorporated with the mud
and dust of the streets of the metrop-
oils.
Taking into consideration the fact
that less walking is done in the city on
Sunday than on week days, he con-
cludes that a ton of leather is worn
away daily. If the particles which go
10 make up this amount could De re-
stored TO their original condition they
would form a leather strap an incn
wide and ten miles long.
In the course of a year the materiai
would suffice for an inch-wide strap
long enough to reach from New iork
TO Liverpool. ,.
For leather in the form OF b~oot-soles
the public paws 60 cents a pound; SO
the amount daily lost in New York is
something like s1,49o, or over s5oo.ooo
0 ear.

Novel DueIing.

II Is a fact that among American In.
dams of the same tribe. though they
NAV number thousands, there are few
cases of quarrels that ever result In
murder. This is strange when 1T Is
remembered hat the Indian is passion
ate, uncontrolled in his impulses, cruel
and ferocious by nature. They have
their difficulties and %quarrels, how
ever. but arbitration OF the old men
prevents bloodshed or murder.
Yet once in awhile a fight occurs.
and it is a novel sight to witness, says
an old western traveller. One buck
challenges another to combat. Ac-
companied by his friends to the battle
ground, each buck is stripped and
made to confront the other.
Between them lies a war club, q
smooth, long piece of hardwood, sea,
soned by wears of service and regarded
with reverence because OF the blood
stains on it received during the war.
The seconds of the surly-looking duel
lists toss up a piece of bark. The win
ner picks up the club and his oppo-
nent, folding his arms, plants himself
bending his head.
II is the clubbearer's privilege to
whack his antagonist just as hard as
he can and with all the vigorous ma
liciousness he a command on the
back. One blow is struck and then
the man who has endured 1T picks up
the club and his opponent IS sub]ectea
to all the force he can command.
So the whacking goes on and almost
averv blow is a k~nock-down one, until
the duelist last knocked down refuses
to accept the club from his opponent.
He has had enough and the party
breaks up. The severity OF the pun
isbment endured in these duels is mar,
yelous. The club used has a Jagged
edge and every blow struck brings
blood. making deep cuts and fearful

THE STATES V LUE
As Equalized by the State Board

Last Year.
Express Companies Assessed the

Some time since some figures pre-
tending tp be the official valuation of
South Dakota we're published but
some errors crept in. Below, there
fore, is presented a complete and ac-
cRrate table OF all property In the
state, including railroad, telegraph
and telephone lines and express com
panies as returned to the state audi

tai footingis 1927 1927 800. SO, decrease
of $500, 253.97. This Notwithstanding
tie fact that the material wealth of
the state has increased considerably.
IS every one at ali acquainted with
these facts must know.
This difference is probably due to
the fact that The people as well as
the various assessors have become
nor familiar with the new revenue
law and have found ways to avoid Its
most stringent provisions. Be that
as it may, however, the fact remains
that the needs of the state are greater
than they were before, while the rev.
enue will be in the neighborhood of
$40, COO less. Here are the figures:

SIOUX:
h Government Proposes to Issue Lite
stock to the Sioux.

stock te the Sioux.
After years of experimenting and
the expenditure of mHcG money, the
interior department has finalIy dff
upon a plan which will mare, ii
possible for the Sioux to accumulate
property. Years of hard work and
thousands Of dollars have been
expended IN vain efforts to make
farmers of them. About the extent
OF practical results along this line is
that the majority Of the Sioux plant
a patch of ground about the size Of an
ordinary white farmers ttfdck
patch" This is planted on a piece Of
breaking" to insure it against weeds
and the fruit thereof is seldom
| allowed to arrive at maturity. Corn
is picked and either eaten or dried
while 1t Is vet rreen. Seed potatoes
issued by the government generally
find their way into the pot instead of
the ground. Squashes, pumpkins,
melons, turuips, beets, etc, are like
wise devoured while tht ereehj with a
gusto which makes n shudder With
a gave apprehension for the future
usefulness of the red mans internal
economy.
Turning from this unprepossessing
| picture of Indian husbandry there is
another class Of mixed bloods, who
actually prodtce some, wealth by
farming. they have a few cows and
a small herd of ponies and in a certain
measure might be termed prosperous.
However, the Sast majority Of Sioux
Indians depend solely upon their
regular allowance Of beef and other
rations issted by the government
and might so continue indefinitely
in this same old rut were 1t not for
| the new plan which is being adopted.
This is to exchange, the plow Tor the
shepherds staff. BY this it Is not
meant that they will not be encour-
aged to till the soil In the future the
same as in the past, but that greater
efforts will be directed toward getting
them to properly care for the stock
which the government proposes to
issue to them than will be made In
the line Of farming. 1t will be borne
in mind that all the great Sioux
reservations are located in the finest
grazing section of the Northwest. Ii
is understood that a portion of the
annuities which has heretofore been
expended in farming implements
household goods and clothing togethei
with other moneys due the Sioux from
various sources will be expended *
young cows and their calves and viii
be issued directly and individually Il
the Indian, although held in trust BY
the government. This is done to pre-
vent indiscriminate killing and sell
ing were they left to their own inclin
ations. it is further proposed to bu.
from the indians the male increase o
all this stock when it is sufficiently
matured for use on the annual bee
contracts, thus creating a hom'
market for their stock, payment 70
which will be made in cash.

Neal Fields EasiIy-Earned Fee.

Neal Fields, you will remember, was
in the chancery court clerks office with
Steve Chipleyt Constant communities
ton with members of the bar rave him
a good idea of law, and he resolved 10
90 west aud ADOPT the practice. He
arrived at Albuquerque night; and
next day vas engaged in a nurdet
case which at that time was attracting
attention all over the territory.
Among the many ranclimen was a
burly old fellow named Carter, who
styled himself king" and vas a ter
ror for miles around. Carter had
small regard for the property of other
people, and made a specially of claim
ing all the cattle that strayed upon his
pastures. Other ranchmen We're afraid
to demonstrate with him personally,
and were forced to resort TO the courts.
A kentucky attorney named Hagan
was in Carriers employ, and was usual
ly successful
4 fatal shooting affray occurred on
the streets Of Albuquerque one night.
Not long afterward Carter was lodged
in Jail and charged with murder. He
had killed a fellow-ranchman for a
trifing insult, and the spectators loud
ly proclaimed that it was in cold blood.
That night there were rumors of mob
Vengeance, and the prison was placed
under heavy guard
lawyer Hagan was sent for the next
day to visit Carter. At first he hesi-
tated; he had made up his mind to
have nothing to do with the case. A
second messenger arrived, and Hagan
concluded to visit Carter.
..Iherei is this much about it, said the
attorney: IL have defended you the
last time. All your wealth could not
hire me to take charge of your de-
Tense.
Then for Gods sake recommend
somebody" said the imprisoned cattle
king. Hagan promised and left.
On the way from the prison to his
office he met Neal Fields. The two
had known each other in Kentucky,
and were not long ia renewing the old
acquaintance. Tine case of Carter was
mentioned to Fields, and he was asked
if he would enlist for the defense.
..If | get money enough" replied
Fields, with a keen eye to business.
you shall have all the money you
want" was the ~reassuring reply.
Hagan turned and led the way back to
the Jail. Fields was introduced to
Carter. and agreed to take the case. A
check for IS. 900 was signed then and
there and turned over 10 the young at
torney. Fields went to work on the
case. The first thing he did was to
draw his money from the bank.
The next day Albuquerque was
startled when it became known that
during the night a mob OF masked
men had taken Carter from the jail
and left him swinging from a limb.
Fields had the 50. 200. and his client
was beyond defense. -LoaisCiAe C0ur-

"Nell-um-oh," said the youno

"Oh, you better let me in" said the
man, who had IN indefinite impression
that the young woman was guying
him. He made for the door leading to
the laundry. The girl screamed.
Don't go in therel" she cried. sFor
goodness sake 60 away and don't ask

Look here" said the investigator,
what are you making so much fuss
for? Now, quiet down and tell me
why can't 20 in"

Il supposed there were girls ia

NY mind, tonight, is like a troubled sea;

Lost. broken wreckage of a voyage drear,
Its weight increasing with each passing year
Until within my heart all peace has flown
has flown
And every port and haven / have known,
WI erein might rest a moment from the blast
t he world-tossed soul upon wild waters cast,
Is filed with wrecks washed up by foods
OF tears;
Wrecks peopled with the ghoste Of wasted
years;
Grim phantoms OF lost hopes cling to the sab,
And through the storms loud voice l hear a
wall
As from a soul whose beaconIigbt has fed,
Or of a heart whose flowers of love are dead.
