Palmer Alias Smith.

Argus-Leader just before the
opening of the last legislative session
Judge Palmer, in order to make a
grand stand play OF virtue returned
to the railroads the passes offered
him and sent them long letter con-
tanning a high moral sermon on the
evil of their ways, urging repentance,
and declaring that he was death to
the sweet tones of Delilah. Some
time during the session he repented
his rashness. He evidently found
that it didn't pay to be Pharisee.
So he sent to the railroads and ask
ed them to send him a pass from
Sioux Falls to Pierre for his two
daughters and to "please make them
out in the name OF Smith" The
wicked railroads complied. No more
railroad bills passed the senate.

dem ocratic congress to pass that
tariff reform measure of "perfidy

The Mormon Elders Get Thrashed
and Leave Town.

Concord Times.
Last Monday the two Mormon elders,
Gibson and Carter, who have been
working in the section for some time,
put in an especial day here, making a
house to house canvass. It seems that
they went into Mr.. w. A. Caldwell's
house, Spring street, and left some of
their literat ure, against the protest of
Mrs. Caldwell. About II o'clock Mr..
Caldwell met Gibson coming out of
Mr.. John M. Young's gate, and asked
him who gave him permission to leave
his tract at his house. The elder said
something, when Mr.. Caldwell gave
him several ticks with stick, breaking
his derby and bruislng him up. The
Mormon took to his heels, leaylng hi
hat and umbrella behind. Mr.. Cald
we'll then crossing to the other side O
the street where Carter was, before b,
could get out Of the way, gave him 1
rap or two. The elders reported th
affair to the authorities. but as they de
clined to get out warrant nothing
was done. They got their baggage ant
left town before night, and have no
been heard of since.

Superintendent John B. Smith, OF
the Central Park menagerie at New

noceros cage his large black cat Snyder,
which had been missing for week.
While going through the elephant
house in which Smiles, the old rhlnoc-
eros, is kept, uperintendent Smith
saw the missing cat coiled up IN the
hay beside the big beast. The rhinoc-
eros was licking the cats paw with its
tongue. Superintendent Smith watch
ed the pair Tor time and tried to coax
the cat out, but it would not leaveSmiles.
A keeper Informed him that the two

eros was asleep the cat would freq uen t.

SACREDNESS OF THE
BETROTHAL.
onlv Alcohol Wrecks More Lives
Than Broken Engagements.

In the April Ladies Home Journal
Edward w. Box writes on "The An
swer to Girls Life" discussing the
allegation made against the American
girl that she thinks lightly OF the i'm
portance of her betrothal. "The be-
trothal," Mr.. Box asserts, "sLould be
lust as sacred as the marriage. It Is
the gravest of the two steps which bind
two people together, because it is the
initiative. Only the most extraordinary
circumstances justify breaking of the
betrothal. Only one other agency In
lfe-alcohol-is responsible for more
broken hearts and wrecked lives than
broken engagements. 1t is highly
necessary that our girls should have a
perfectly clear idea OF what a betrothal
means, or should mean, it it is a be-
trothal in the sight of God. A hasty
impulse, the Temporary swaying OF tu'
multuous, youthful passion, the con
| fusion of admiration for affection, the
| installing of respect for love these are
| not safe grounds for betrothals. 1t j:
never to the credit Of girl In the eye
of men, that she has been engaged two
or three times Girls should remem
Der that. Too often they think tina
men feel otherwise, or, perhaps do no
care. But men do: that is, the mel
worth marrying. A man looks upol
an oft-engaged girl, as he does upon
peach with much OF the bloom rubhe
off. Besides, men generally conclud
that there is something wrong wit
such a girl. The right kind OF gil
will hetroth but once. An unhapp
betrothal can be Just as keen sorro7
as an unhappy marriage. 1t has DARK
ened the lite of more than one W.
| man."

Extraordinary yields OF corn on
small plots are not indicative OF what
may be the result on large field, as
soils vary. Trials OF corn are usually
made on rich bottom plats, or on specl-
ally prepared ground, but there Is no
DENYING the fact that the yields OF corn
on large areas may be greatly increased
by proper preparation of the soil and
the use of a liberal amount OF manure
or fertilizer. No farmer should be
satisfied with his yield, but should aim
to increase it every year if it is possible
to do so.

Borax as a Purifier.
Durham Sun.

Durham Sun
Every housekeeper should know the
value and safe ally requisites of pulver
lied borax. So many disinfectants are
deadly poison, and ones little child
rem and domestic pets are in danger
while using them, and my experience
is that borax is quite as effective, and
cheaper, and more pleasant to use.
People are just beginning to appreci
ate the value OF boraX in the house
hold.
The safest is the best, and as an anti
septic borax stands pre-emlnent, while
perhaps its the only one known that is
entirely innocent and safe. It may be
used in the place of carbolic acid, cop
peras, chloride of lime. A strong solr-
ton of borax will destroy vermin.
Corrosive sublimate may be omitted
from the family supplies, and the
household relieved of another peril.
For purifying the kitchen sink, and
water pipes III bath room and closet, l
know of nothing so good. It softens
the water for bathing, making it very
desirable for the skin-just small
pinch will suffice in the bath water.
The browning merits of borax are its
manifold uses and slight cost. It will
Danish every household pest in the way
of reaches, ants; it destroys bacteria
and germs purlies water instantly
and there is nothing healthier fol
children than to use it in the face water
and for LAYING their mouth, throat and

The easiest and best way to destroy
all kinds of weeds is when they are just
beginning to appear above ground, as
even a slight stirring OF the soil will
then seriously cripple them in growth
or destroy them. If weeds are permit

cellent green material for plowine

reach maturity before being thus
utilized under no circumstances must
they be permitted to produce seed. il

1t may surprise the inexperienced
that although the COWS can be put on
pasture alter grass appears the supply
of milk ls then usually reduced. This
is frequently the case when any kind
of change in the food is made, but
more especially so early in the spring,
as grass is then more largely composed
of water than at any other season of the
year, and consequently is also more
laxative and less nutritious than when
it approaches maturity. To offset
these conditions give the COWS full
supply OF ground grain mixed with cut
hay at night, and do not keep them on
the pasture but short while each day
at the beginning. Always give full
meal of grain and hay at night and
also an allowance of grain in the morn

Every year new varit'es OF seed corn
are offered which are claimed Will give
extraordinary yields. Farmers should
hesitate before investing in new seed
corn, except with a small quantity Tor
experimental purposes. Corn produces
only when the climatic conditions are
favorable, and varieties that flourish
south of this section may fail when
brought north. Frequently, when the
frost has appeared late in spring. and
delayed planting, an early maturing
variety may be required, an early fros
in the fall OF the year may destroy {
variety that requires plenty OF time To-
maturing Its seed. Do not abandon
the old and tried varieties until expert
ment demonstrates that newer kind
are much better.
