AMONG THE MAGAZINES.

The complete novel in the May issue of
Lippincott's is "The Uncalled," by the col
ored poet, Paul Lawrence Dunbar. Though
understood to be his first essay in extended
fiction, it is an extremely strong and thor
oughly readable story. The scene is laid
mainly in small Ohio town; the hero is a
youth of the humblest origin, who is forced
into the ministry and works his way out of
it.
The opening article of the New England
Magazine for May is upon Municipal Art in
the Netherlands" written by Allen French.
This is companion article to that on
" Municipal Art in Italy," by the same
Of the magazine. In the present article Mr..
French considers the civic uses to which art
was put BY the people of the Netherlands in
the time of their greatest prosperity.
Lillian Bell is now in Russia for The Ladies'
Home Journal, and one of her recent achieve
ments was to secure a photograph of the
car with her own camera. This is most
difficult to do in Russia, where every one
with camera becomes a suspect But the
Russian officers helped this bright American
girl. Miss Bell will tell the story of her
capture of the car in the June journal.
The sketches by Paul Bourget which have
attracted attention as presented in transla-
ton in The Living Age, will be followed by
one or two delightful groups of sketches by
that other master of style, Pierre Lott.
These are specially interesting Just now
because they relate to Spanish life and char
acter.
Journalism has found in Jesse Lynch Will
liams writer who can put its characters into
fiction with serious purpose. Generally
a newspaper story" is simply the frame
work for something melodramatic, treated
fippantly or cynically. "The New Re-
porter" in Scribner's by Mr.. Williams,
describes series of vivid incidents, which
make reporter with "nose tor news out
OF young college graduate.
The Outlook has secured the services of
George KEENAN,, vice president of the Amer
lean Red Cross society, as a member of its
staff during the war. Mr.. KEENAN, is the
most distinguished American traveller of the
time, and his studies of the conditions in
Siberia have had a worldwide reading and
have revolutionized the Russian exile system
He will study conditions in Cuba and else
where, as may be desirable, and report to the
readers of The Outlook in series of weekly
articles which are certain to be of surprising
interest, and to afford graphic narrative of
the progress of events.

Two Pointed Questions Answered.

What is the use of making a better
article than your competitor il you can't
get a better price for it?
Ans.-As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the better
so that while our profits may be smaller
on a single sale they will be much great
er in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the bestP
If both articles are brought promin-
emily before the public both are certain
to be tried and the public will very
quickly pass judgment on them and use
only the better one
This explains the large sale on Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. The people
have been using it for years and have
found that it can always be depended
upon. They may occasionally take up
with some fashionable novelty put forth
with exaggerated claims but are certain
to return to the one remedy that they
know to be reliable, and for coughs, colds

and the camp generally shows a healthy
growth and prosperity. About 200 men
are said to be employed in and around
the different mines surrounding the
town. The keystone mill is running to
its full capacity-twenty sampson ore
from the Holy Terror mine. The HOLY
Terror mill is at present undergoing
some needed repairs, but will Se started

The machinery for the Bismarck mine

and it is expected that the mill will be
in running order within a short time.
The plant will be the finest Of its kind
in the southern Hills. For further par

Franklin ct. al, which was taken to

Pennington county by Chas. w. Brown
and W.. l.. Mclaughlin. as attorneys
for the appellant, p. B. Mccarthy, Il
decision has just been rendered re.
versing he decision of Judge Gardner
who tried the case in the lower court.
The appellant claimed an eighth inter
est in what is known as the Holy
Terror" having purchased this inter
est when the property in litigation be-
longed to the Tin Bar group Of mining
claims. The real question in contro-
versy in this action was whether a CO.
tenant can by relocation bar his fellow
co tenants from an interest In the pro-
perry. The supreme court has held
that such is not the law. 1t is said
that this decision of the court means
at the least estimate n hundred
thousand dollars for Mr.. Mc' arthy.
This is quite a victory for Charles W..
Brown and w. L. Mclaughlin. as they
haye had an uphill fight of it from
the beginning.

The Lead Tribune t.uthfully insists
that some people still have the idea that
groceries, dry goods clothing, and in fact
everything used by a family, bought
away from home are necessarily
cheaper than those bought at home. If
eve there was a mistaken idea it is
this one. Your home dealers pay no
more rent or taxes than outside mer-
chants, and can and make you as good
if not better prices, grade for grade than
outsiders possibly can. Out of town
dealers cannot hire extra help to delly-
err your goods and then meet home
prices on quality and quantity. Why
not, then, look to your own, as well as
your torn's interest by trading at
home. Stand up for your home town.
