Good Advice to South Dakotaus.

Well, here we are safely at home again
alter a perfect jubilee in visiting friends

Lett home in company with my wife
and daughter Maud the Saturday before
Thanksgiving and had q fine visit with
our old friends John Gilbert and family
and other friends in Minneapolis, and
arrived at Albert Lea in time to eat
turkey with my eldest sister and family
whom had rot seen for over twenty
years. From thence to Cresco, Iowa.
where we enjoyed a splendid visit with
our old friends Amos Barker and J. C..
Adams and families. They are very
pleasantly situated but | think the

would fail to tell of oldfriends and places
visited and the royal welcome accorded
us, but finally our visit was ended and
with longing heart we started home
ward. Then ensued eighteen days oil
weary watching, waiting, washouts,
submerged track, and bridgeless streams
and then-home.
And now after a residence OF twenty
nine years in Iowa, fourteen in South
Dakota, and a visit Of over four months
in Iowa the past winter, | think | know

paradise for the poor lahoring man with
plenty OF money, and to any one who is

A Cretan Amazon.

AS If true to its ancient traditions
of myth and fable, Crete has produced
in the person of Marterita Karaiskaki,
genuine amazon who is as fearless
and as efficient as were the traditional
daughters Of Hesperia. This young
woman is granddaughter of the noted
Karaiskaki, who was one of the heroes
of the Cretan revolution in 1921, and
the. blood of her patriotic grandsire
flows freely in her warlike veins. Her
great capacity as leader and her won
derful Influence over men have induced
the insurgent chiefs to give her a com
mand, and she has ever led her SOL
diers to victory. The Cretans under her
who probably never heard of the island
amazons look up to her as a new
Jeanne dare, and are ready to follow
her in whatever uosltion she elects to
lead them. She is an able general,
a talented stratagist, and is totally
wanting in the sentiment of fear. Her
love for her native island is boundless.

Virginia and its members have held
nearly every Office in the gift of the
state William Randolph, whom we
have mentioned as the builder of Tuck
ahoe, gave to each Of his seven sons an
immense plantation, and the name of
the estate, as of some principality, was
afterwards used to designate the own
err Thus Randolph Of Tuckahoe, Ran
dolph Of Curles, Randolph of Dun
geness, etc., became distinctive titles.
One of these sons, John, afterwards
went to England, where he was knight
ed. A later descendant of the family,
the brilliant, but eccentric, John Ran
dolph of Roanoke, delighted in follow
ing this custom Of his ancestors, and
always signed himself Randolph Of
Roanoke.
Tuckahoe passed out Of the hands
Of the Randolph family about fifty
years ago. 1t is now owned by Mr.
Richard s. Allen, who takes a worthy
pride in preserving this heirloom of
the Old Dominion intact and I'M

He has a most beautiful head and neck;
as to any other points about him 1t is
impossible to say, for the creature was
amazingly pampered and fat, and being
OF the race breed his legs were so small

has completely gained the favor OF the

tory has been very much more sweep
ing than that of any other stage pro-
duction of the year, The result Is
gratifying to the management in a
double sense In the first place, It
means that the season at the Empire Is
to be exceptionally profitable. In the
second, 1t demonstrates that Mr.. Froh-
mans judgment was thoroughly sound
when he determined to promote Will
liam Faversham, who had previously
played the heavy" villains in his va
rious dramas, to the position OF lead
ing actor in the company. This ex'
pertinent was exceedingly hazardous
The public unwittingly but unvarying'
ly associates an actor with the parts
he plays. Accordingly, II Mr.. Froh-
mans patrons had grown to irrevoca'
bly, regard Mr.. Faversham as player
of sinister roles, it would have been
difficult for them to recognize in him a
suitable portrayer of sympathetic char
dcters. But, happily for him and fol-
his manager, the step has been taken
with the utmost success.

"Heartsease," the reconstructed play
by ]. l. c. Clarke and Charles Klein,
which serves to introduce Henry Miller
as a star actor, was presented for the
first time in this city at the Garden
Theater few nights ago. The play
proved to be quite interesting, and in
spots exceedingly dramatic. The hero
of this drama Is young composer who
is very much in love with the daughter
of a man of title. The obscure must.
clan is in return the object of the af-
fections of this same titled personages
wife, who seeks to win his regard by
paying his debts, without his knowl-
edge, and otherwise assisting him to
the fulfillment of his ambition as
composer. The inevitable other fellow,
who also loves the young girl sought
by the musician, interferes to involve
the hero in disastrous complications,
and succeeds, in addition, in stealing
his opera and producing 1t as his own.

the stolen composition are heard by
