The "Open Door,"

"The phrase, open door, now being
talked about SO much" says Chairman
Dingley of the house ways and means
rommitee. 'means simply equality of
of treatment, and not free trade. AS ap-
piled to the dependency Of a country, it
simply means that imports from all
countries are to be admitted ON the same
erms as imports from free trade. AS
pplied to the PHILIPPINES, it would
mean that imports from Great Britain
nd all other foreign countries are to
pc admitted at the same rates of duty

NOf course this policy could not be APP

The proposition for state saloons seems
to have carried by securing a majority of
the votes cast upon the question though
it was a minority of the vote cast at the
election. The question was voted On at
a time when people were wholly interest
ed in other things, and those who voted
upon the question did so without having
had a chance to investigate the feasibili-
ty of the plan, or its ~desirability as APP
piled to South Dakota conditions. There
are hundreds of people who always vote
"yes"when in doubt, and this good natur-
ed indifferent attitude toward this ques-
ton has probably carried ii without dis

pleas, instead of having softening eff

adding fresh layer of oDstinacy to his

notes / noticed that the judge invar-
iably carried himself with more
naughty and unbending air than ever,

satisfied look of a general who has the

Three dreary months dragged by,
and then the whirligig of time brought
its revenge at last as the poet tells

penser of favors, with Judge Granger a
trembling supplioant before me, not
figurative-y, but literally.
'How did this wonderful metamor-
phosis come about? Well, it seems
strange, yet in reality it was the most
simple and natural thing in the world.
You see, Judge Granger was an en-
thusiastic horseman, fond of riding and
driving, and one day when a stranger
came into town and offered him a fine
saddle horse for about two-thirds it's
actual value the judge couldn't resist
i the temptation to buy it.
''The animal had been stolen from a
ranch only few miles distant, but of
course the purchaser knew nothing OF
this. The alacrity with which the
stranger got out OF town after dispos-
ing of the animal ought to have opened
the judges eyes, but APPARENTLY it did
not.
Anyhow, the next morning the judge
donned his riding suit and set forth to
try his new saddle horse. He rode for
perhaps half dozen miles out into the
country, and then turning about he was
leisurely jogging back to town, when
he was overtaken by party of cow
boys who were riding posthaste in
search of stolen horse-the very ami

have no bearing on the subject under

conversation to me. He said:
Young man, are you aware that
the young lady to whose hand you as
pire is a prospective heiress, and will
eventually come into the possession of
a snug little fortune?'
I've heard rumors to that effect

of difference Her wealth shall never

it as l would if she didn't have cent
So you needn't worry yourself any on
