times have saved the town from destruc-
tion. The electric lights are also con-
vepience we have found we cannot do
without.
The past year has been one Of great
financial depression all over the country,
and Madison has suffered from it and
combination Of causes that will probably
not occur again in 4 lifetime. We have
all been disheartened, but when we COM
pare the situation here with other parts
Of the country, as Aunt Chloe says, 1--WE
ought to think on our marcies." 1t Is
not brave nor good sense to give up or
disparage our town and country and
wish for change. From most OF the
reports we have from our citizens who
have made Investigations for themselves,
we may be thankful it is as we'll with us
as it is, for they have generally come
back satisfied that Lake county is good
enough for them;" and as they have Wis.,
tied the south in it's most delightful
time Of year, and contrasted with it ours
in it's most unpleasant time, we think
they can we'll say So We have much to
be- thankful for, IN fact. that We have
not been visited either by dev stating,
storms or epidemics.
A conversation with one of our best
farmers, one who has had no advantage
over many others. yet who is not cast
down Dy this one year OF failure, because
he is one Of the right kind, who utilizes
everything and let's nothing 60 to waste;

make him rich, but diversities and 30
also has something to turn into money,
tells me his butter alone has paid the
expenses OF his family during the winter.
| There was shipped from Madison last
year butter and eggs to the amount of
eighty Thousand dollars, and the amount
could have been doubled il the farmers
| were all like this one. But town and
country are all alike, grumbllng and
comparing their lot with those of other
states which have had the advantage OF
twenty or more years time, but which
have suffered disadvantages as well as

The future OF South Dakota is bright.

store. There were many small buildings
occupied as Offices, meat markets, sa-
looms, etc., but there have been so many
changes that some have been forgotten.
The weather was propitious and
everything seemed favorable for the
completion of the railroad, which was
looked forward to with great interest, as
it would enable the merchants to supply
their stores, bring lumber for building,
etc.; but, 10! one October day, the 18th,
the rain began to fall slowly. the clouds
assumed an ominous look to those famil-
lar with the country, suddenly the wind
veered round to the north and before
long furious blizzard was in progress.
A kind neighbor, knowing we were
alone, sent word to US that q blizzBrd
was coming and we had better come
over and spend the night with them.
We had had no experience with bliz-
yards, and thought little storm like
that needn't alarm anyone, but q second
message took us over in a hurry, as by
that time we could scarcely see my dis
tance. We have never had a blizzard
since worthy of the name in com parison
with that. II the weather had been
cold the suffering would have been in
tense. As it was the loss OF stock was
great.
After the blizzard the road was CON-
pleted, but only two or three trains
could get through, as the snowfall con
tinued. All of the men would get out
and work to clear the track only TO
wake in the morning and find their work
was all for naught, as some one or other
OF the many cuts had been filed with
snow, 80 for long time We we're almost
isolated from the outside world. The
mail only came occasionally and several
times was brought from Sioux Falls by a
man on snowshoes. Provisions were
scarce. Sugar was doled out in small
quantities to make it go around, -four
was an unknown quantity, corn meal
was at premium, eggs were hard to
get, but for all of that those who were
here then agree in saying they never en-
loved a winter more. There was no
business, but the best OF spirits pre-
vailed and every one made the best of it.
Social parties that everyone attended
we're held very often. Entertainments
for the benefit of various societies were
given. A band was organized, for which
concert was held. The manager in
chief, A. A. Broadie, was equal to the
occasion, stage and costumes were i'm
provised, and who will ever forget
Broadie in bis specially OF "Dem Golden

nADISON.

Madison, the fall of 80, presented
rather unusual spectacle, at least 30 it
seemed to the writer, who, arriving one
September day, after three days drive
across the prairies, found, instead OF
new town with all of ~the characteristics
of newness about it, one that had the air
of being resurrected from the past ages.
Houses were standing about in all sorts
Of attitudes for, while some had been
adjusted and were being propped into
position, some were standing in the mid.
die Of the street while still others were
vending their way from either
one or the other Of the hitherto
rival towns which had now buried the
hatchet and had agreed to unite and
build one good town instead Of two poor
ones, and all were working industriously
to accomplish as much as possible be
fore cold weather, and this accounted
for the peculiar appearance at that time.
The first news we heard was that AL.
Fuller had another house in sight, and
the cry was, "Stlll they come!" The
Madison house was not yet ready to re-
<ceive guests and we found an abiding
place with Mr.. and Mrs. Law, who kept
hotel in the rooms over the store now
occupied by r. B. Fitzgerald. The din
ing room is now Annie O'Ccnnelps mil.
linery store. That night as we went to
the room assigned to us We passed
through other rooms with beds made on
the floor to accommodate as many az
possible and economize space, and they
were filled with men who were employed

saw the old stage coach which was wait

& encouraging talk OF our good hostess
soon dispelled the attack Of homesick.

influence OF the Fine Manners OF The
Olden Time.

Influence of tie Fine Manners of the
Olden Time.
In the days of our grandmothers,
William of Wykeham's motto, MAN
ners maketh Name" was held to APP
ply to the making of woman. In those
days the imperative law of a lady's in
ner life and outer habits was expressed
by n word, "decorum." That music
al word ruled every movement of her
body, and dictated the training each
girl should receive to qualify her for
what Miss Cobbe calls "the great Art of
Society,""
1t did not beget, says Youths Com
panion, the abrupt-speaking, courtesy
neglecting, slouching, slangy young
'damosel," who is never called
blessed" Blu it did produce women
gifted with old-fashioned suavity, and
with the tact which made everybody in
n company, even the humblest, happy
and at ease. Miss Cobbe, in her Life"
describes a trivial incident which illus
trates the kind of influence exercised
by women of the old school of "de-
corum."
A hale, genial young fellow, named
Warburton, was a guest at the house of
Miss Cobbe'S father. One rainy day he
was prompted by n silly young lady
guest to sing several comic songs in
the drawing-room, the point of the
jokes being the advances of women to
men.
Miss Cobbe's mother, old and feeble,
fter listening quietly for a time,
slowly rose from her sofa, walked pain
fully across the room, and leaning
over the piano said in her gentle way
a few strong words of remonstrance.
She could not bear, she said, that
men should ridicule Respect
and chivalrous feeling for them, even
when they were foolish and ill-advised,
were the part, she thought, of a gen
erous a She would beg Mr.. War
burton to choose some other songs for
his fine voice.
All this was done S gently, with her
sweet, kind smile, that no one could
take offense Mr.. Warburton was
far from doing so. He was touched
with tender reverence for his aged
monitress, and rising hastily from the
piano made the frankest apologies,
which were instantly accepted.
The incident illustrates the kind of
influence exercised by the fine man.
ncrs of women of the old school. But
it is also an illustration of Emerson's
aphoristic sentences: Fine
need the support of fine in
others" If Mr.. Warburton had been
an ill-mannered cad" he would have
left the piano in a huff; but being a
gentleman of the old school he re-
ceived the merited rebuke with rever-
entail humility.

SOME RAILROAD GATHERINGS

THE Pennsylvania Railroad company
is said to contemplate spending S2,OoJ,-
600 on q site and structure for u new
passenger station in Pittsburgh.
Jars in which aluminium will be used
for all metal work, save the wheels and
aXles, are to be put on the state rail-
roads of France. The saving in weight
for an ordinary train will be thirty
tons.
THERE is a steady increase in the
number of cigars and cigarettes smoked
in this country. and notably in the CON
sumption of cigarettes, according to n
tobacco trade journal. During the fiscal
year just closed there wore sold in the
United States 1888, Sl5. 500 cigarettes,
and 4,130, A40,37O cigars. The increase
in the consumption of cigars over the
previous year was 1882, 1888.

RELIGIOUS NAMES.

THE Arminians took their name from
their leader, Arminius, born in 1866, died
in 1909. Their doctrines are still held
by several Methodist bodies.
TIE Bernardines were SO named from
St. Bernard, who founded the famous
hospicc in the Alpine pass which bears
his name, about 062.
TIE Gnostics were thus named from
the Greek word meaning "to Know"
They claim n larger share of revelation
than fell to the lot of others.
PRoTEsTANTs were at first so called
because their representatives protested
ut the Diet of Spiers, in 1899, against
the action of the emperor.
THE Camisards, a French religious
sect, were so called from the smock
frock worn by the peasants, who con-
stituted the larger part of their num-
bers.
TIE Episcopalians are so called from
their belief in an episcopal form of
church government--that is, n system
providing for bishops and archbishops.
