Doane Robinson, formerly of Water.

Doane Robinson, formerly of Water
town, o of Gary.sS S. d., has long had g
political debt to pay Senator Pettigrew
and during the past year has lost no OPP
portunity in giving the senator a stab
with his crimson dyed pen. The down
fall OF Mellette before the rising star OF
Frank Crane was a bitter experience for
Doane and the triumph of the Pettigrew
hosts In the recent election was the big
gest drop in his tub OF bitterness. OF
late he has been particularly active and
fulsome in his laudations Of VIM. McIr-
tyre of Watertown as a candidate for
the United States senate against Mr..
Pettigrew and while Mr.. Robinson
knows very we'll there is no more chance
for the election of Mr.. Mcintyre as
United States senator than there
is for his election to the pre-
miership OF China, yet MIR. Robin
son delights to lionize Mr. McIn-
tyre not 80 much through love OF the
latter as for the opportunity it gives him
TO make mean i~nsinuations at Senator
Pettigrew. His last attempt at sensa-
tional charges against the senator is to
accuse him of conspiracy with Senators
Stewart and Jones TO form a new party
on the basis Of protection and free silver,
with Senator Cameron as a possible
presidential candidate. Mr.. Robinson,
in this, is very evidently laying himself
open to a charge which he can never
prove against Senator Pettigrew-that
being a fool, Senator Pettigrew, it is
true, is a strong free silver man, but he
would take a more sensible way of get
ing 1t than the way suggested by Mr..

The cultivation of material for walk
Ing sticks is carried ON in quite an 81
tensive scale in some parts of Europe,
and special attention is often paid to
making the roots grow into shapely
forms for handles. While i'm London last
year / went in to a manufacturing es-
tablishment, the floor space of which
covers nearly an acre. This ace has
~storehouses filled with native and for
eign sticks, from which stock is drawn
as wanted for the shops. The sticks as
they grow are often very crooked, and
have to be Strengthened. A heap Of sand
Is piled ON the top of q hot stove, into
which the sticks r plunged until they
become pliable. The workman takes the
crooked stick while il is yet hot and
inserts it in a notch cut in q stout board,
placed at an angle inclined from him,
where he bends and strains it. When it
has become perfectly straight, it is
thrown down to cool, after which it be-
comes rigid and permanent in its lines.
The same power which makes q crooked
stick straight is applied to make a.
straight N crooked. All the various
kinds of sticks that are required to be
curled or twisted are, by the application

sensation by appearing in San Francis
co one day with his little schooner, which
no had single handed sailed all the way
from Alaska by means Of asmall pocket

Vehling vas born in North. Germany

engaged in the ice business i'm Honolulu

which he lost in the coal business in
Alaska. Then the old longing for the
Ladrones-the Summer Isles of Eden
seized him, and he decided to sail
there in the Kussiloff. Old salts pre-
dicted that he would surely be lost at

his wife that she and her children would

state OF South Dakota, do hereby ap-

day let all places of business be closed,
and let all the people repair to their re-
spective houses of worship, to express in
a proper manner, to the Great Ruler Of
the Universe, their thanksgiving for His
watchful care over them. While we
have not enjoyed, for the past year, an
enviable measure OF prosperity, we yet

other portions OF our country, bringing
great suffering, together with loss of
property and human life, we have been
spared these terrible Affections, and
have learned that there sometimes
comes to the children of men worse
things than the interruption of prosper
ity. The he%althfulness of our state has
passed into a proverb, aud it is more and
more, each year, sought as an asylum by
the afflicted of other states. The faith

The exact number OF believers in the
general tenets of Christian science cam

are dinused through many churches,
but those who openly profess and act
upon this faith certainly exceed 100, 600
in the United States and may reach
nearly twice that number. The parent
church is in Boston, and there are the
headquarters of the National Christian
Scientist association, but therasnare no
ecclesiastical laws of government. Each
society or congregation has the indie
pendent government of it's own affairs,
and it 10 matter Of surprise that under
such rules the national unity and CO.
hesion should be as great as in amy other
church. Each local organization follows
closely the methods Of the mother church
in Boston, which was founded by Rev.
Mary Baker g. Eddy, the founder of
Christian Science. If it can be said TO
have any one founder.
Her Judgment is accepted on all dis
puted points, and her book, Science
and Health, With Key to the Scrip
lures, is the textbook and basic aau-
thority Of the entire school OF thought.
As . historic fact, however. healing by
prayer and faith has been practiced i'm

emit system is an enlargement of the old
