Among the many absurdities that
have crept into our houses there Is none
more absurd than the elaborate bed
room. Copied like our elaborate par
lors, from great mansions of state, they
add nothing of comfort To our home
life. The fashion of the elaborate bed
room descends from that ancient time
when it was not considered bad taste
to make the bedroom also a reception
room, where the lady of the castle,
clad in n gorgeous gown and surround
ed by stately trappings of rank, re-
ceived her morning callers. Thus
Queen Elizabeth received messenger
of state, and it was necessary in such
cases to add "a certain elaboration
and magnificence to the outlit Of this

The grand jury Of Brown county has
indicted Editor Kidd OF the Aberdeen
Star for criminal libel of Gov. Sheldon
during the late campaign. The article
published by the Star On which the in
dictment is based reads as follows:
at is an insult to the church member
ship of this state to attempt to array 1t
against rhs clearly habits and upright
life Of a man like Judge Howe and on
the side OF a staggering rowdy like
Sheldon, who knows nothing Of the COM
mon d~ecencies OF life and whose whole
official career has been a stencil in the
ndstrils Of every decent man and woman
in the state, especially women. Indeed,
il. is morally understood al Pierre that
the action of the republican council OF
Pierre granting permission to the houses
of ill-fame Of that city to run vide open
until March, 1895; was taken for the
special purpose of accommodating the
governor and his staff" .
1t is difficult to comprehend how a
verdict Of guilty can be found against
Kidd on this charge. 1t certainly cannot
be on the ground of any injury done to
the governors character for Kidd is so
given TO maligning and drawing upon
his Imagination for facts that people had
long before given up taking any stock in
what he said either in bitterness, malic-
iousness or because of personal deprav-
ity. He Is simply not responsible. He
did not iniure Gov. Sheldon in the least.
1t was not true and people did not be-
lieve it true. The only thing Kidd can
be convicted Of is pessimism.

His Litsls chivalry.

Sometimes the spirit of sympathy
and tenderness crops out on apparently
barren soil. On the corner of one al
the business streets of city, shoe
black had just finished polishing the
shoes of well-lressed man. The latter
was unfortunate in having deforniity
which compelled him To wear shoe
on one of his feet with an exceedingly
thick sole, thus cndeavcring to make
up mechanically for what nature had
denied him.
''How much shall ! pay you? ~ he
asked the boy.
give cents, sir
''Oh, bat you shouid have more than
five cents for polishing my shoes" said
the gentleman, tapping the thick sole
significantly with his cane.
"No, sir five cents Is enough. / don't
want 90 make no money out o. your
hard luck"
The customer handed out coin, laid
his hand ON the younstcr's head for IA
moment and passed on.
Who says the days Of chivalry are
over?
