.mployc who is n tirst-class man in
every respect, except for his determina-
ton to talk and argue n little too
much. For years he has been an ex-
trcmc socialist and has been arguing
about the crime of wealth. Not very
long ago he refused to continue the
discussions and seemed very anxious
to forget all he had ever said in favor
of an equitable division of all the
good things in the world among all the
people living in it. laughed at him
good deal, but without success. and
finally asccrtained the cause.
"lIc had for years been buying the
house he lived in by small INSTALL
ncnts, and not being very good ac-
couatant had lost track of the flight of
time, and was very much surprised one
inc morning to find that he owned his
house free from incumbrance. The
ground had increased il value about
two hundred per cent. while he was
paying for it. and he is now worth
three thousand or four Thousand dol
lars.

guing was the maximum amount each
American should be allowed to own,

THREE WERE FRAUDS.

Sioux Falls, 8. D., July n.--Some
very crooked work has just been shown
up in connection with the loaning cf
permanent school funds of the state.
The shady work was lighted up by some
annual reports of tho auditors of several
counties submitted to Land Commissioners
Thomas I'll, Ruth, The law strictly pro-
vides that counties shall invest permanent
school money in the bonds of school cor
porations or first mortgage on good inn
proved farm lands, no farm loan to ex-
eeed $500 to one man, nor shall it ex-
coed one-half the value of the land as
assessed, Seven or eight counties, the
names of which Commissioner Ruth re-
fuses to give up pending investigation,
have violated the law and constitution in
many instances. In one county the COM
missioners loaned $500 on a tract cf
land assessed at G33, $1,5OO on land as
sessed at $40. In this county $3.1O0
was loaned, twenty-five loans being
illegal. The constitution of the ststN
holds the county responsible for the loss
accrued in this way. Commissioner Ruth
will investigate the matter thoroughly
and will in the meantime hold up the.
100000 not loaned of the $5OO,OOO in
the permanent school fund of the state.
