necessity for touch of color, usually IN
some delicate shade, is imposed by the

ARTESIAN WELLS.

They Are Great Boon to South Dakota
Farmers.
Miner county, S. D., is justly proud
of her ability to produce artesian wells,
and there is not a county in the state
that has more artesian wells in operation
than Miner county, says a. Canova dis
patch to the Sioux Falls Argus-Leader
There is hardly farm, that has & good
thrifty owner, in the west half Of Miner
county that has not a good flowing we'll
on it that furnishes plenty of good water
for stock and house use without the ne
cessity of pumping it, and a great many
of them flow water enough for irrigat-
ing purposes, some few farmers using
the water last year to irrigate small
patches of ground for the purpose Of ex-
perimenting to see what could be done,
and in most instances it proved very sat
isfactory, the ground being mostly plant
ed to garden truck. The artesian wells
of this county vary in depth, some of
them giving a good flow at depth of
55 feet, but the average depth is about
$50 feet. The average amount of flow
is about $500 barrels per day, some Of
them flowing about 1000 barrels per day
and forming some very nice little lakes
from which it is very convenient to put
up ice in winter and some of these lakes
begin to furnish very nice fish, There
is no irrigating being done in this Sec
ton Of country this spring. Nature has
given so much rain that it is not neces-

Farming by Electricity.

Israel Hogeland, formerly of this city,
now of Chicago, has had patented a de-
wise which will allow a farmer to plough
his field, harrow it, put in the seed, and
when the crop has grown, to harvest it,
by electricity. The power is brought to
to the farm from a power house that
serves an entire community within a ra
dius of ten miles from the farm. The
electricity is brought through feed wire
to wire erected in the fields running
machinery is provided with a trolley
which consists Of wire so arranged that
it will wind or unwind on a cylinder on
the back of the machine. The part that
touches the feed wire is not like the
street car trolley wire, but fits over the
wire and will slide along as the machine
goes from one furrow to another.-In-

A PredicaInent.

Lovet-King, the popular composer,
tells an amusing episode in the provinces
in the cold Of the winter while yet the
roads were slippery as glass, owing to
the hard frost a lady vocalist was
very nervous about crossing the street
from the hotel to the concert hall, SO the
landlady obligingly gave her a pair Of
large red worsted socks, which she drew
over her pretty slippers. The lady was
first on the programme, and as luck
would have it, the party was little late.
The lady FASTENED to the stage, and it
was not until she had got some distance
through an exceptionally sentimental
song that she realized she had forgotten
to remove the terrible socks!

An ImpuIsive Act.

I have never gone to a wedding, par
ticularly church wedding, without COM
ING away with a feeling of resentment
smouldering within me anent the unlm-
p0rtant Dart to which the mother Of the
bride is RELOCATED through mistaken GUS
tom.
AT the ceremony which gives the life
Of the child. which has, until that mo-
ment. been so closely united with her
own. into the keeping of another. it is the
mother who should stand close by her
daughter.
1t is the mother who should put the
hand of her child, with earnest prayers
for her happiness, into the hand of the
man who is to make or mar her life.
1t is the mothers love and tenderness
and Watchful care that makes most of
what is good in her child. Why should
it be required that, at the great moment
Of that child's life. the mother must sit
apart?
The mother of the bride is ushered up
the aisle, often By 2 "a!G2!!ee rative stran-
ger, and being seated in isolated splen-
dor, watches. with strained heartstrings,
her little girl taking the step that sep
arates her old life from the new. With
this ache at her heart, but with an I'M
ruffied mien, she still must sit there, as
her loved one, many times without look
at the mother, passes down, on and out,
beyond her reach. often forever more.
This always seems to me desperately
sad. and strikes a note that jangles hor-
ribly out of tune with the wedding
chimes.
The other day. when Miss Barney,
who was married to Reginald Jaffray,
stopped impulsively on her way from the
altar to give her mother hearty kiss,
it seemed to me quite the sweetest thing
I had ever seen at a wedding, and /
had an inward conviction that it augured
well for the future of the young couple
that, in her own happiness, the brides
first thought was for her mother.-Illus-

Adventure with a Bear.

=
James Clair of San Leandro, who is
miles from Chico, had thrilling cx-
perience with a cinnamon bear several
days ago, and he will have big story
to tell when he gets home, says the San
Francisco Call During the present
spring cold weather and frequent storms
have caused many wild animals to seek
hiding places and food around the foot
hills, and quite often cinnamon bears are
seen numbering off through the woods.
Such big game was, however, the last
thing young Clair was looking for when
he started out with rifle on the day he
met Bruin. He had shouldered the
weapon at. sun UP and began tramp
through the foothills. AS the forenoon
wore away he resolved to return TO the
house of his friend, despairing of taking
home a mess of squirrel or wild fowl.
Clair had just started on the back trail
when he saw a cinnamon bear tearing
the bark from a dead log lying on the
ground about seventy-flve feet away.
He raised his gun and fired, the ball
striking the beast in the flank.
With a roar of pain the cinnamon
wheeled and started toward Clair, who,
realizing that he had dangerous animal
to contend with, commenced pumping
shells into his rifle and firing. Continu-
any foaflng, the Dear appfoacneu tHe
hunter, and when near raised its huge
body upon its launches. Clair during all
this time had stood firm as a rock, but
as the bear reared up the young man
discovered that his last cartridge was
gone. His nerve fed, and dropping the
rifle he began a race for Powellton.
On reaching camp Clair's breath was
too short to tell the story directly, but in
short time it was made known, and
with guns and dogs party started after
the bear On reaching the spot, the ami
NAL was found dead. On examination
seven bullet holes were found in its body
and legs. Ten empty cartridges lay On
the ground where Clair had stood when
shooting.
The bear was weighed and tipped the
scales at 40 pounds, which is the larg
est that has been killed in that section
for some time.

To Kill Whales by Live Wire.

That the field for the application of
electricity is practically unlimited is
again demonstrated by seafaring man,
who proposes to go out and kill whales
with it.
The salt had so much faith in his
scheme that he engaged an electrician to
build a dynamo that would generate an
alternating current of 10000 volts. That
dynamo he will have rugged up in his
ship and then he will sail away to the
North to capture the whale in a fin-de-
steele manner.
Capt Charles w. Hershell of Halifax,
owner and commander of the whaling
ship Rosalie, is the man who intends to
wipe out the customs and traditions of
the, whaling industry with a small wire
and large dynamo.
AS to the method OF application, the
captain explained it to New York writ
err as follows:

HIS WIFE WAS DEAD
And William Davidson Sang the Song O
COurtShip DAYS.

And William Davidson Sang the Song of
Courtship Days.
The storm had passed on it's way be-
tween Thomas and lakewood and the air
had cleared, says the Detroit News. The
moon was shining and it's rays revealed
near the ruins of William Daviason's
house the mangled body Of his wife
Beside the corpse sat the husband.
Though his face was pallid and marked
with lines which only years of suffering
should have placed on it, there passed
over it now and then a faint smile. No
moan of sorrow escaped from his lips,
but instead he sang. No doubt it was
the song he had sung to her during the
days of their courtship:
Roll on, silver moon,
Guide the traveller on his way.
While the nightingale's song in tune
/ shall never, never more
With my true love stray
Meath the silvery light of the moon.
He was found there by John III. Butts,
representative of the Philadelphia
Times, who owns farm in Oakland
county Others also halted as they
heard the song, but they FASTENED away
lest the emotion it awoke should dis
turb the singer.

Lady Burton's Romantic Marriage.


The memories of Lady Isabel Burton,
widow of the great African explorer and
Orientalist, recently published in Lon
don, gave an interesting account of the
romantic marriage of two extraordinary
characters. He was like gypsy, but
she was ready to go anywhere with him
and TO do anything he did,. If she
missed a chance to share danger with
him she grieved about it. The wilder
nesses of Iceland, of Dahomey, of the
tropics, of Brazil and of scores OF out
of-the-way, dangerous, unwhOlesome
regions were their stamping grounds.
She was an Arundel, of one of the
Oldest and proudest English families, but
she was delighted when gypsy pro-
phesied that she would be of the Ro-
many ilk. Said the dusk seer: "You will
bear the name of our tribe, and be right
proud of it. You will be as we are,
Your life is all wandering, change and
adventure. One soul in two bodies in
life or death; never long apart"
This seemed impossible yet one day
the vision she had nursed of the coming
husband approached her--a tall thin,
swart. weather-beaten Arabic figure,
with brow of a god and the jaw of a
devil. That was Burton. He stared
at her, and she thought he saw straight
through her. She whispered to her sis
ter: '"That man will marry me"
She was completely magnetized. She
tells the rest of the weird story. He
made the first advances by chalking up
on the wall: MAY | speak to you p
for the answer. 1t was unpropitious at
first: ''No; mother will be angry" but
this was only another way of saying,
II shall be pleased" For mother
herself had afterward to listen to this
confession: 1.-THE moment | saw his
brigand. dare devil look, | set him up
as an idol, and determined he was the
only man [ would ever marry"
He went away to Africa for six years,
no doubt to help make a name that
might overcome the resistance of her
family. When he came back he pro-
posed He was not kept waiting for
an answer. 81 would rather have Il
crust and a tent with you" she said,
than be queen of all the world. .
he said Il know that she answered
''but l belong to myself give myself
away"
But when all was arranged. off he
went. seized with the passion for travel
He sent his shadow to her to say good
by, that he would return in three years
and that he was her destiny. When he
did come back he was as one who had
been dead "He had had twenty-oue
attacks of fever, had been partially pa
ralyzed and partially blind. He was a
mere skeleton, with brown yellow skin
hanging in bags, his eyes protruding
and his lips drawn away from his teeth.
Never did | feel the strength of my love
as them The marriage came at last.
Then, after seven months of uninter
rupted bliss. he had to take up a con-
suIship on the west coast of Africa and
to leave her at home. When he re-
turned on leave she could no longer
bear the thought of a further separa-
ton. and she insisted on going back with
him to Fernando Pc. Thereafter, her
saying was the old one, ''Where thou
goest, / will CO."
