In a private letter from Miss
Belle Kearney received sometime
ago, learned of a most beautiful
gift she had received from the
Fayette Us, and it was such a
sweet, lovely thought carried out
by them that | have asked Miss
Belle to let me tell it to the read
ers of The LEADER. The last
gift they sent her was a gold w.
G. T. L. souvenir spoon. That as
you all know was both beautiful
and acceptable; but the gift |
specially wanted to mention was
a handsome vase on the front OF
which was the face of the Prcsi-
dent surrounded by the names of
all their members with their mot
to, etc. The vase was decorated
with blue forget-me-nots.
Could anything have been more
beautiful or delightful to the heart
of our dear young friend whose
life is so given up to the advance
ment of the girls and young wo-
men of our country. Could she
ever forget such a circle of pure,
true, consecrated young women
who have answered to the call and
set themselves about the Father 5
business in such a noble way! 1t
is no wonder she loves to be re-
membcred by them in this touch
ing, tender way, and so richly
does she deserve it that it is Il JOY
to us all that the pleasure is hers.

Tho Market Continued Professional In
 Character.

Character.
 New York. Sept 5.'-As on yesterday the stock market continued entirely pro- fessional in It's character with this diff. ference. however. that to-day operators were inclined to be bearish, whereas on yesterday the bullish sentiment was in the ascendant. At the start certain railway issues ran of h to Y per cent. while Sugar, Western Union. Lake Shore and Lead advanced as much. The early loss was soon recovered. however, notwithstanding foreign and local sell ing to realize profits. The improvement was based partly on the favorable rail- way earnings for the fourth week and month of August. and the statement by Pennsylvania railroad officials that west bound trafiic was picking up at satisfactory rate.
 Subsequently the market drifted into dullness, and as the afternoon wore along small operators. who had pur- chased yesterday on the theory that the upward movement in Western Union and other bull favorites would be pur- chased. began to sell. This resulted in a general decline Of 4 to per cent, Sugar leading, with sales down to l041s. Burlington and Quincy. St. Paul. Rock Island. Western Union, Reading, Lonis- vile and NAshvillA and Northern Pa cific lost # to lM~ per cent.
 In the last hour there was a frac- tional rally. but owing to a renewed selling movement in American Sugar, which carried that stock down to the lowest point of the day. the recovery in the general list was lost The market in consequence closed barely steady. Net changes show losses of b to lh per cent, Sugar leading, Chicago Gas, Mis- souri Pacific, Lead and Richmond Ter minal gained h@%. In the miscellane- ous stocks Pan Handle rose 1 to POE and Pan Handle preferred IFS to 54. Pullman fell 2h to 160.
 The bond market was strong, sales were $2,071, 1000.

 For some time had been troubled with numbness of my hands and arms. It was very distressing and constant annoyance to me. My nervous system was badly affected. I was unable to sleep, getting but very little rest at night. I suffered from indigestion and my appetite was very poor.

To-day the democratic state conven-

the people of this state, or the natioufor
that matter, save as to one point. That
. the question of fusion. The party has
neither hope nor principle OF its own on
the strength OF which to appear before
the people of South Dakota. This is
manifest by the leading cry OF its organs,
whose appeals are all for fusion. Office
and the spoil of Office is the shibboleth
OF its newspapers. This clamor for
fusion is not o welcome sound to re-.
publicans. 1t manifests a conceded
weakness on the part of both the other

Study is like o dinner. The viands
must be well chosen and eaten slowly,
not devoured, then well turned oven i'm
the mental stomach for awhile until
with ease and comfort they are perfect
ly digested and furnish nutriment to
the brain. Most students study without
thought, which is like eating without
digesting. Others read merely as q fad
and soon forget all they may have
learned.
The most satisfactory method OF study
is the digestive. It is the thorough one
tho one that gives strength TO the
brain. Take the subject you are study
ing Read a few lines or a few pages
as the case may be, then put the book
down and think ON what you have read.
Turn it about in your mind from every
standpoint. Do not accept it immediate

mind. In other words, masticate ii.
You need not be at your leisure to do

Business prospects throughout the
east are decidedly brighter the past
week. The fact that TIE tariff question
is settled for even twelve months has
placed manufacturers and dealers in
staple goods in q position where they
can do some figuring and calculate on
stable conditions during that time.
Whether the tariff may be favorable OF
~unfavorable TO the consumer, business
can be done without the risk attendant

sympathy must necessarily be felt fol
the multitude of sufferers from forest
fires in northern Minnesota and Wiscon-
sin, but eve AZ this distance we feel how
inadequately an expression OF sympathy
can mitigate or relieve their indescriha.
BILE distress. Nor could a return or the
dead TO life or their homes and fortunes
to the living, alleviate that untold, i'm
measurable mental anguish through
which all have passed. Ii is an experi.
ence too horrible to contemplate, too
fearful for repetition, too costly for
human happiness. The extreme OF
drouth has been felt elsewhere than in
South Dakota this year, and though re-
sidents OF this state may have lostsevere-
ly in temporal things, they have not yet
had to sacrifice all that is dear to them
on earth. Loved ones, health, homes
and q goodly share of this worlds goods
for temporal and spiritual wants still re-
main and we ought to count ourselves
happy as compared with bleeding burn
ing, Minnesota and Wisconsin. 1t is fit
ting we extend to them our sympathy,
and what measure of relief we can, it is
more fitting re rejoice in our own meas
ure Of prosperity and render grateful
thanks for South Dakota conditions.
