Hon. l.. G.. Ochsenreiter, pIesi-
dent of the South Dakota Worlds
FAIR Commission, returned from
Chicago last Thursday morning.
In All interview with our reporter
he states that South Dakota will
receive a great deal of attention
through the state exhibit at the
Fair, and made mention of some of
the prominent features therein,
which are a representation of the
famous crystal cave of the Black
Hills, in the dome of the Hortlcal-
tural building, which has been
made beauDi1ui beyond description
with its stalactltes and crystals.
He also says that when the polished
petrifed woods arrived they were
not quite ready for them in the
building and in consequence they
were left outside. Owing to the
great weight of the contents, some
of the boxes were broken open and
Immediately they were surrounded
by large crowds of people. Another
attraction is the Sioux Falls jasper.
The mining display in the mining
building is also very fine, aud is
duplicated in the state building.
And again the fossil exhibit from
the so called bad lands is attracting
widespread attention from the
scientific men and societies.
Mr.. Ochsenreiter SPEAKS glowingly
of all the exhibits: but thinks South
Dakota should have made a better
agricultural display, being one of
the grandest agricultural states in
the union.
We wish to say u few words in
regard to the Herculean task perfor
med by the South Dakota Worlds
Fair Commission. The reorgani.
cation was made about a year ago
and Mr.. Ocnsenreiter made the
President. Previous to this, matters
had gone on in very "a desultory
way; nothing had been done finan-
%cially, and nearly everyone had de-
SPARED of anything at the World $
FAIR. Immediately upon the reor-
ganization things took on another
aspect: the master hand was seen;
order was established, financial
prospects frightened, and to-day
there is such a display that no
South Dakotian need to go to Chi
cage and feel ashamed to say, 81
am from South Dakota
Out through the state Mr.. Och
s~enreiter's genius for finance AMI
organization are widely recognized,
and those who were very bltter IN
opposition at the outset have seen
the error OF their ways and can
now say too little IN praise OF the

Some Interesting Relics,

What appears to be the most interest
ing archaeological discovery since the
settlement of western New York by the
whites was made recently near the city
line. WOrknen who were engaged in
laying out new street turned up a
quantity of human bones and copper in
otruments, which so excellent an author
ity as w. g. Bryant believes to be relics
of the Kah Kwahs, the little known
tribe of peaceful Indians who occupied
this region before the days when the
Senecas came to keep the western door
of the Long House.
The early and complete extinction of
this nation by the more warlike and bet
ter organized lroquois left little more
than a legend of them to inspire the
poetical fancy Of the lamented David
Gray, and to furnish a name for a cot
tage on the lake shore. If further in.
vestigation shall tend to confirm Mr.
Bryant's apparently well founded con-
lectures, the relics discovered will add
distinctly to our knowledge OF the people
whose fires burned here long before ours
were kindled.
This was an ancient burying ground
for race of giants, Judging from the
size of the bones found in the loamy soil
of the hill. They show the men to have
been very large.-Buffalo Courier.

the middle of the ballroom holding the
child high in the air. Then the child
began to pound my head and face,
kicking violently. The dog stood by
my side wagging his tail. A roar from
the men and heartless giggle from the
women began to enlighten me. When
the child's mother took him from me
and began resentfully to smooth down

The dog was the pet and victim of

"PEE-WEE."

When the morning long was filed with
song
That burst from every tree,
heard a foolish little bird
That only sang "Pee-weem
And spoke out clear, so the bird could
hear,
ut really seems to me
If couldn't sing a different song
Than just 'Pee-wee! Pee-weer
aid hide away from the songsters gay
In the thickest greenwood tree,
And wouldn't sing the foolish thing
To show my low degree"
But the little bird, when he had heard
My wisespeech, looked at me
With his bright eyes wide and his head
one side,
And SAID again, "Pee-weey"
And understood the lesson good
The little bird had for me.
God gives one song, and we should sing,
If it only be "Pee-wee"

LOVE THAT LOITERS.

They will bring their boarded kindness
When our ears are deaf to love;
When the grasses wave above
And bewail their present blindness.
When we cannot heed regret
They will waste their shallow tears,
As if such could pay arrears
Or discharge the living debt.
They must know we shall not crave
Sunshine in yOn grim retreat:
Gifts of life, however sweet,
Yet they keep them for the grave.
Though the grave has but despair,
And but hollow echoes wait
All who knock at that weird gate,
Still they pour their treasure there.
Let the snowy shaft aspire;
We shall never read the lie;
Grief uprears the marble high,
But remOrse can rear it higher.
They will come when we are dead,
When to love our lips are dumb:
Then our laggard friends will come
And strew flowers overhead.

HAS she good sight! asked the cap
tain.
mo. she is nearsighted I'm afraid
she'll not see us.
ALI" said the captain, and he kissed
the lady. With little cry and a little
laugh she sprang up and ran down the
hill.
The captain closed his eyes, but in a
moment well known voice made him
open them again. His wife stood before
him. She was looking very handsome,
the captain thought. By her side stood
young Jocelyn-Beauty Jocelyn, as they
called him-the last joined cOrnet. The
captains wife and Beauty Jocelyn stood
just in front of the captain, some six feet
from him.
~ don't see why not" said the cap
tain's wife II Beauty Jocelyn, and to
the captains horror Beauty Jocelyn
kissed his wife.
Another" asked Beauty Jocelyn.
Il should like it," said the captains
wife.
This lisa hideous nightmare" thought
the captain.
Just one more% pleaded Beauty Joce-
Ign.
We'll, if YOU began the captains

But the captain leaped to his feet
"The devil" he cried.
"Oh, you are awake now, dear, are
your" said his wife. How imprudent
to sleep in the sun! | met Mr.. Jocelyn
and he kindly helped me to find YOU"
Il was delighted murmured Beauty
Jocelyn.
"Delighted, you scoundrelr' exclaimed
thu captain. You dare to kiss my wife
before my very eyes! And she-she per-
mits it," and the captain groaned.
My dear captain, kiss your wife,"
expCstulated Beauty Jocelyn with raised
eyebrows.
Charles! How dare you! said the
captains wife.
You deny it? You have the audacity
to deny it: Just now, this very moment,
you kissed her twice"
You must have been dreaming,
Charles"
AT first | thought was, said the
captain bitterly: but am awake now"
All, but YOU were dreamingr' in
sisted his wife, and her eyes wandered
from his face and looked down the hill
side.
Near the foot of the hill, side by side
with stout woman in black. the cap
tain saw a white muslin dress and blue
sash. The eyes of the captains wife
rested an instant on the white and blue.
then they travelled back and dwelt upon
the captains face.
You were certainly dreaming" said
the captains wife, and Beauty .Jocelyn
smiled.
A pause followed. The captain
thought he heard light laugh waited
by the breeze from the foot of the hill
He looked again at his wife. His wife
smiled.
Il must have been dreaming" said |
the captain.
Beauty JOcelyn laughed.
But are you awake now?" asked his |
wife.
well, you woke me" said the cap
tain.
Il thought We should" said his wife.
Shall we 90 home now, Charles?"
perhaps we had better"
You don't want to sleep any more?"
"No; | think, on the whole, | have
slept enough"
"On the whole, perhaps you have"
His wife took the captains arm and
bowed to Beauty Jocelyn.
"Au revoir!' said Beauty Jocelyn, and |
when the captain saw him last he was
lacking warily down the hill in the wake
of the white and blue.
II think Mr. Jocelyn likes dreams
too" said the captains wife.-True Flag

In reply to the query whether branches
which are now too low for convenience
will get higher in time when the trunk
of the tree lengthens, Meehan, in his H.
lustrated Monthly, says:
1t is a general impression that the,
trunks Of trees lengthen, but this is not
the case. The trunk of a tree. being
once formed, does not lengthen frac-
ton, no matter if it lives to 100 years.
A branch from a trunk that is now, say,
six feet from the ground will have the
center of that branch still six feet from
the ground, no matter how many years
elapse. If branches are therefore now
too low, they had better be cut off at
once. Again, it is worth remembering
in cutting off branches that they should
always be cut close to the trunk or to-.
any main branch, so that the wound
may heal over. If the branch is very
large, so that the wound is likely to take
several years to heal over, it is better to
paint it, in order to keep the water from
rotting the wood until it is properly
healed. More good trees are spoiled
through leaving an inch or two of stump
to cut off branch than people have any
idea of

Queen Elizabeth of Roumania.

The condition Of Queen Elizabeth of
Roumania, according to European pa
pers, is still so serious that her return to
Bucharest has been postponed indef-
nitely. She prefers to remain in one of
the castles of her family in Germany
and devote herself to writing poetry. It
is said that she declined positively to re-
turn to the Romnanian capital to attend
the ceremonies following the wedding i
the crown prince and the Princess Marie
of Edinburgh. Her majesty is still true
to Mile. Vacaresco, who won the heart
of the young prince two years ago.

DEAD SEA FRUITS.
The poet sings of

The poet sings of
Dead sea fruits which tempt the eye
But turn to ashes on the lips.
The pension laws of the United States
have been made such Dead Sea Fruits to
the veterans and their dependent ones.
Passed in response to an overwhelming
popular demand for justice to those who
saved the Nations life-fair and promising
as they went upon the statute books, with
the potent approval Of the President-full
of hopeful anticipation to the broken SOL
diers, and their families and friends, they
have turned to bitter ashes upon the lips of
realization. "The word of promise was
kept to the ear" by their passage, and
"broken to the heart" by the failure to
execute them. For hundreds of thousands
it were as if they had never been passed.
To them they were merely delusion and a
disappointment, for they went to their
graves defrauded of the relief they were
promised.
Why not stop this wicked mockery of
suffering. needy men and women by ordain-
ing that every pension claim shall be settled
by Dec. 81, 1894?

The American Farmer.
The Oldest Agricultural Paper in
America.
Published at 1879 New York
Avenue, Washington, D. G.
Price. only 80 Cents a Year.

THE AMERICAN FARMER is a great Ma
tional agricultural paper. 1t circulates in
every part of the country, and represents the
interests of all the farmers In the Nation.
Being located at the seat of Government
and the only agricultural paper that is
1T has special facilities for getting infOrma-
ton of real interest to all farmers of all that
goes on affecting them in Congress, or In
any of the Departments of the Government.
This will be of particular Importance to all
farmers this Winter, when there will be a
prolonged and bitter struggle in Congress
over the policy of protecting farm products.
THE AMERICAN FARMER is on the side of
the farmers, and bitterly hostile to the an
nounced program OF placing wool on the
free list, and reducing the duties on other
agricultural products. It denounces this as
making the farmers bear the greatest part of
the weight of the alleged tariff reform, and
protests against this sacrifice of the farmers
in favor of other interests. Every one who
favors justice and right to farmers and
not political buncombe, should rally to
its support and give it the utmost strength
by doing what they can to extend its circula-
ton.
Now is the time to do this, before Con-
gress takes up the wool and farming products
schedules.
The paper is large eight-page quarto,
printed in large type, on fine white paper,
and plentifully illustrated. 1t is filed with
matter of great practical interest to all
farmers.

CAD vALoREM VERSUS SPECIFIC"

"AD vALOREM VERSUS SPECIFIC"
The Committee on Ways and Means has
made SO many woful mistakes that it is
dangerous to characterize any one of them
as absolutely the worst of the lot. Sill it
seems that nothing can be worse than its
general substitution of ad Ualoreps for
specific duties Secretary of the Treasury
Dan Manning energeticaily warned VIM. 4.
Morrison against this blunder when that
horizontal reductionist" was preparing
his famous bill. The whole experience of
the world is strongly against dd valorem
duties as the stimulus to fraud, and fruit
ful cause of corruption of revenue officials.
The moment any revenue or tax collector
is empowered to judge of the value of an
article and impose taxes on it according to
his judgment, that moment the tempta-
ton to be dishonest begins. The importer
is tempted to undervalue his goods, and to
bride the CustomhOuse people to connive at
his undervaluatlCn5.
The merchants and manufacturers in this
country become demoralized because they
can have no assurance as to what prices
foreign goods will be offered in competition.
Next the country will be flooded with
shoddy and other trash, because there will
be every inducement to import this class
since the duty on them can be made noni-
nal. Under specific duty only the best
goods of the grade would be imported, since
it would not pay to send in inferior goods
of the class.
The new tariff bill proposes to take dol
lars worth of work and wages from our own
laboiiag man in order to collect cent in
revenue from the foreign manu- facturer
