DELAY IN COURT WORK.
A South Dakota Law that Leaves Cou

South Dakota Law that Leaves C0un.
ties short Of Juries.
The trial Of Hart and Hatten for
their connections with the Farmers
and Merchants Bank, which failed at
Plankington last summer, was set for
the February term Of court in Hansen
County, the defendants having se-
cured q change of venue to that coun-
ty. It is now likely that the trial be
held several months later than Rener-
ally expected on account of little diff
6culty that has arose. Last winter the
Legislature passed law, the bill be-
ing introduced by A. F. Herrick of
Aurora County, amending the law re-
lating to the drawing and summoning
Of grand and petit jurors. The new
law provides that only atregular meet
ings of the Township Boards. can the
list of jurors be sent to the clerk of
court. The law was enacted to cut
down the expense of special meetings
tor this purpose. Since the special or
adjourned term of court of Hansen
County to try Frank Phelps, there has
been no regular meeting Of the Town
ship Boards, and consequently the
names of the jurors drawn out of the
box in this trial have not been re-
placed, leaving the box short of the
required number of names. It would
look from this that the trials of Hart
and Hatten will have to go over until
after the regular meeting of the
Township Boards, which, it is under-
stood, occurs in April. the next reg
ular term of court for Aurora County,
the first Tuesday in March, will have
to go over for the same reason. 1t is a
strange circumstance that Legislator
Herrick, one of the victims of tho
bank failure, should be the instrument
in extending and prolonging the trial

TeDnyson's Religion.

John Addington Symonds, relating
conversation between Gladstone and
Tennyson, in his "Recollections' of the
latter, records the laureate as saying
of the incognizability of manner:
Il cannot form the least notion Of
a brick. l don't know what it is. It's
no use talking about atoms, extension,
color, weight. l cannot penetrate the
brick. But / have far more distinct
ideas of God, of love and such emo
tons.
Il can sympathize with God in my
poor way. The human soul seems to
me always in some way-how, we do
not know-identical with God. That's
the value of prayer. Prayer is like
opening a sluice between the great
ocean and our little channels
Then of eternity and creation he said ::
Huxley says we may have come from
monkeys. That makes no difference to
me. If it is Gods way of creation he
sees the whole, past, present and future
as one" Then of morality: Il cannot
but think moral good is the crown of
man. But what is it without immor-
tality? Let us eat and drink, for to-
morrow we die. If knew the world
were coming to an end in six hours
would give my money to a starving
beggar? No; if / did not believe my
self immortal.
II have sometimes thought men of
sin might destroy their Immortality
The eternity of punishment is quite in
credible. Christ's words were parallels
to suit the sense of the times.'
Further of morality: There are some
young men who try to do away with
morality. They say, we won't be

Mr. Grote, too, deny that Immortality
has anything to do with being moral .

Burning-Glass of Ice.

A few years ago an English profes-
sor caused quite a little excitement
among a party Of skaters on Serpen-
tine River by making a lens of ice and
lighting his pipe with it, says the Phil
adelphia Press.
This reminds the writer that this
curious experiment was first brought
before the public by the great DR..
Scoresby, who, when in the polar re-
SionS, to the great aStonishment of his
companions, who did not understand
why the ice did not freeze the solar
rays, performed similar feat. 1t NAV
also be worthy of remark that Prof.
Iyndall, when a teacher in the ROYAL
Institute. on several occasions set fire
TO little heaps Of powder with rays
from an electric arc concentrated by
lens of ice. His explanation was
this:
Although ice absorbs rays of certain
waves OF light and is gradually melted
thereby, there are other kinds of waves
which 1t does not absorb. and it is
these that produce heat at the focus
of the bar of light whichpa through
the ice
In short, it is wholly a question of
the relative motions of the molecules
OF frozen water and those of the waves
OF the more penetrating rays of light.

The middle-aged woman is the best

The White Horse of Lambourue.

In Berkshire, England, is situated a
bill on the steep sides of which is the
figure of q gigantic horse whose di-
menSionS are almost an acre in extent.
The head, neck, body and tail of this
wonderful figure consist of wide white
! lines, as does also each of its four legs.
!. The outlines Of this monstrouS Speci-
men of the genus equinuS are formed
by cutting trenches i'm the chalk, Of
which the hill is mainly composed, the
bitches being from two to three feet
deep and about ten feet in width. The
chalk of the trenches being of a beau
tiful white and the surroundings the
greeneSt Of the green, makes the figure
of the horse plainly diScernible at a
distance of about twelve miles. This
is the famous white Horse Of Lam
bourne
The white horse is known to have
been the standard of the SaX0DS and
some have supposed that this monster
emblematic figure was made by Hen
giSt. one Of the Saxon kings. Mr.. Wise,
an antiquarian who has written much
on the White Horse of Berkshire. brings
in several arguments to prove that this
figure was made by or under orders
from Alfred during the reign of Ethel
red, his brother, and that it is a monu-
ment to a victory over the Danes in
/ the year 81. Other well-known writ
ers are of the opinion that the cele;
| brated White Horse is natural freak
one of natures oddeSt oddities. Ash
mead-Burrton thinks that the early
tribes noticed that the outlines of the
freak resembled a horse TO a certain
extent and that they worked it into its
present shape; at least that they gave
the outlines their present graceful sym
metIy.
\ However this may be, it has been the
custom since time out Of memory for
/ the neighboring peasants to assemble
Ton a certain day of each year, usually
about midsummer. to clear away the
tweedS from around the White Horse
fand to trim the edges of the trenches

Hand to Hand with q Grizzly.

Ira Dodge, hunter and trapper Of
this section, who on November =, last
year had a bear fight that will be-
come historical, is back at Evanston,
Wyo., from Salt Lake, where he has
been under the treatment of an oculist,
says an exchange. At the end Of the
combat Dodge had a few more than
one hundred wounds on his body. His
only attendant for three months was
his wife She was a slSilful and de-
voted nurse, but could do nothing for
the eye. Happily the use Of this mem
ber has been restored. Dodge is lame
vet, but is able to be about. Of his
encounter with the bear he says:
Early on the morning of November
= l saw three grizzlies at the edge of
the timber a mile from Green River.
10 get them all meant a big bagging
and / thought l could do it. l tied my
horse and went after them. l knocked
down one and then a second, but could
not find the third. The two down
bawled like calves getting branded. /
returned to the first and threw an
other bullet behind his shoulder. lie
lay still until l was within ten feet of
him. He rose and rushed at me. |
threw my hat into his face and jumped
back and gave him shot. The shell
from my last explosion stuck in my
rifle. I dropped the gun and pulled
my knife, for the bear was upon me.
drove the knife into him half dozen
times clear to the hilt, but he did not
seem to mind it, He knocked the knife
from my hand. Then I stuck my fist
into his mouth and he nearly took off
my arm. He was biting and scratch
ing me all over when I became un-
conscious. 1 suppose he felt himself
dying and crawled away to accept the
end alone. They always do that if
possible. When / came to again l
crawled on my hands and knees to my
horse. 1 was bleeding all over and al
most naked. The horse smelled my
blood and the blood of the bear. For
the first time since have had him he
stood still for me to mount He car
ried me twelve miles to my cabin,
where Mrs. Dodge saved my life by
nursing me. I am going back in few
days to get my rife and see the dead
bears.
