the best part Of the religious life,
but shall 1 hereafter? Are not the
rewards of heaven to all alike? II an
swer, no, they are not. DR.. VIM. Tay-
lor says: 'There shall be degrees of
glory He who creeps in at last to the
Kingdom through the fast closing
gate, and by death bed repentance
becomes regenerated, shall not have
place like that of the man whose
entire life has been devoted to the
Lord Jesus. He who made the one
pound into ten received, in the
parable, authority over ten cities.
He who from the one gained as
much as made it five was set over five
cities. All this goes to show that
while it is wholly of grace that
reward is granted to any believer,
yet the reward itself is graduated
for each according to the magnitude
of the service. Now we see why
Peter prayed for his converts to be
given an abundant entrance into the
City of God.
The magistrate of ancient Thebes
was holding high carnival with his
mighty men when a messenger
entered with a letter informing him
of a conspiracy against his life
beseeching him to flee for safety. He
took the letter, pocketed it, and
turning to the merciful messenger
said, Business tomorrow Before
he opened the letter he was weighed
and found wanting, for his city was
held by the enemy. He died the
death, as the penalty for his delay.
Tonight God sends me as messenger
with the words "now is the accepted
time" Satan has entered into a
conspiracy against the life of your
soul. Flee this night to God for
refuge. Tomorrow may be too late.

Twelve newspapers were represented.
The editors have issued an address
discouraging immigration and urging
negroes to work industriously with

Dakota Commission, and has taken a
large number of typical views Of the
states-tield scenes, farm improve
ment scenes, from the sod cabin Of
twenty-five years ago to the large,
comfortable, ideal farm home of the
present. The sublime scenery of the
Black Hills will be shown in several
views. Views have been made from
the artesian basin showing artesian
creeks and lakes and few of the
most wonderful artesian wells known.
some having flow of over 1900 gal
Ions per minute and a pressure of $50
pounds to the square inch. There
are no other artesian wells of such
volume and power. Their capacity
for industrial usefulness is beyond
comprehension. These views will be
on exhibition in the State building.
The dairy-men and wool-growers
are well advanced in their respective
departments, and will make credit
able exhibits.
The institutions of learning, under
the management of Professor A. ;.
Mauck, will give ample evidence Of
the high educational standing of the
state.
Unfortunately, the state, as yet,
has made no appropriation. The
funds for all this work have been fur
nished by private contribution, show
ing patriotism of which the state
may well be proud. The conception
OF the commission as to South Dako-
ta's exhibit has bee.. broad, and il
carried to completion will give true
idea of the great resources of the
state. The legislature met Jan. 3,
and there is a feeling of certainty
that the members will fully grasp the
situati on and embrace the oppor-
tunity placed before them by the
liberality of their constituents, and
provide the necessary means to pro-.
perly complete the work so broadly
begun. A bill has been prepared pro-
vlding for liberal appropriation. 1t
will be introduced early in the ses-
sion, and after it has been approved
the work within the state building at
Jackson Park will go briskly forward.

TYPICAL ANSWERS.
A South Dakota Official Asks the Farmers
What Would Better Their Condition.

Il
A South Dakota Official Asks the Farmers
What Would Better Their Condition.
Sioux Falls Press: The report of
Commissioner Smith as to the labor
statistics which he has been able to
collect is valuable indeed. 1t shows
that in general the farmers of South
Dakota own the land which they
till, and that there is very little
tenant farming. The report as to
the value of these lands, furnished by
the farmers themselves, shows that
they are held at from $40 to $50 per
acre, and the commissioner says
that the estimates received indicate
a feeling of great confidence in the
agricultural resources of the state.
In relation to farm mortgages
he reports that the average
mortgage amounts to only about
one-fifth the average farm value.
About 25 per cent. of the mortgages
reported to the commissioner show
that the money was borrowed for
making Improvements on the farms,
q per cent. was borrowed in order to
buy more land.
A considerable part of the report
shows the answers to a question
which had been sent out to actual
farmers in different parts of the
state:
What, in your opinion, would
better the condition of the farmers
and laboring men," The answers
are nearly all of them quite
interesting, and among them may be
quoted the following:
Higher protection"
"Lower transportation rates."
"Lower interest and law pro-
hibiting gambling in produce"
"a close application to business
and devoting the time they have fol
other to business of their own

Never hire person and set them
to work, nor hire and go to work,
without first having the price fixed
upon. Many lawsuits have arisen
from such neglect. Never sign a
paper no matter how simple a matter
it may appear to relate to, without
first carefully reading it, and if you
do not thoroughly understand it,
have it explained before you sign it.
These are simple rules, but they are
the only safe ones to avoid misunder.

Proverbs For Advertisers.

Wal, in London Fame.
culation shall be wealthy, but he
that believeth in cheap rates shall
be busted.
He that payeth for advertisements
with goods is fool. for he raiseth up
competition in his own market.
A good advertisement is like the
merchants ships: it bringeth
abundance from afar.
Whose loyeth good business loyeth
advertising; but he that despiseth
fame is an ass.
A big advertiser leayeth an
inheritance to his children's child
ren's children.
Every wise man advertiseth, but a
fool speculateth on the stock
exchange
He is wise man who takes a large
space and puts little matter in it.
There is no worse robber than a
Journal that does not circulate.
1t is hard to get a 40-page catalogue
into an inch or column.
The smallest circulation hath oft
the loudest tongue.
A small advertisement is better
than bad traveller.
An advertisement is nota luxury
but necessary.

TOO OFTEN THE CASE.
INTERESTING PROOFS.

A young society lady, after round Of
gayety, becomes suddenly conscious OF an ui.
usual sensation. She has frequent attacks Of
dizziness, her back aches, and she feels blue and
generally run down.

proach of disease receive your instant atten.
ton. Healthy women are the hope of the
race, and it is well-nigh criminal to neglect
anything which promises relief.
There is hope for all sufferers from Nervous
Diseases. Read what follows:
Mrs. Jennie c. Davis, fine artist and an
accomplished authoress, of Westfeld, Wis,
had been subject to headache ever since she
could remember. So severe were her at
tacks as to cause at times temporary delirium.
All treatment had failed to relieve her, but
after using DR.. Miles Restorative Nervine
she writes "My record is 10 me, at least,
satisfactory. No headache, constantly in
creasing appetite, and consequent gain in
weight of two and half pounds in just one
week."
Six weeks later she writes: Have read
and sewed immoderately of late, but my
headaches do not return"
Mrs. John r. Miller, of Valparaiso, Ind,
was attacked three years ago with turn of life
in its worst form. 1t finally went to her
head, and all indications were that it would
result either in insanity or softening of the
brain. Her husband thus writes: I" 1t would
be impossible for me to attempt description
| Of her suFerings during all this time. She
was treated by our very best local physicians,
with but temporary benefit. She has taken
four bottles of DIR. MILES RESTORATIVE

OWNERS OF TRANsocEANIc SOIL

A distinguished French geographer
has been taking an account of stock
and finds that France is next to Eng
land in the possession Of a great Co
lonial empire. From his very interest
ing figures the Boston Globe finds that
England owns 2S,935,699 square kilome-
ters of transatlantic colonies, France,
$685., All; Germany, 2,4O3,52O; Belgium,
Inclusive of the Congo state) 2,241, 1,25O;
Portugal, 2,2O3, $50; Holland, 2,OO3,2O1;
Italy, 935, ,00O and Spain, $4,000 square
kilometers. Germany is thus seen to
occupy third place as a holder OF for
eign real estate, her possessions being
chiefly in African and Oceanic colonies.
Her largest African possession is Cam
Groom, containing 100000 people. IN
terestlng to paste away for reference
is the computation of the French geog-
rapher putting the colonial family of
Great Britain at 345, GAL 900 inhabitants,
of France at 41,44O,OOO, of Holland at
81 ,919, 900, of Portugal at 14,2l3,OO0, of
Belgium dncluding the Congo state)
at 100000, of Spain at 100000, of
Italy at 5,37O,OOO and of Germany at
5,113,000 inhabitants.
How small part of the British en-
pire in population and extent the
British Isles are is thus recalled, nor
is Great Britain the only country that
has bigger family outside her own
home domains than within them. In
vestments in foreign real estate, even
though 1t be acquired at the bare cost
of conquest, are not always profitable
ones. Englands control over a large
part of her foreign territory is only
nominal, and is maintained to great
extent mt 'oss. Possibly many Of our
people take it for granted that the
acquisition of foregn territory is nee
essarily an advantage. If England
maMfests little hunger after the Ha-
waiian islands it may be from her
much profitless experience in foreign
possessions.
