make q particle of difference whether we
are in possession of the Philippines or
not. If the commissioners appointed by
the president decide that ii is to our in
terest TO have more than q naval station
in the far east we can demand the entire
group of islands. 1t will merely be a mat
ter of taking them because we want to-
or because we consider it our duty to
take them. 1t is a great question OF ma
tional policy which ought not to be made
ridiculous or small by sham patriotic SEN
timent about the flag.

The Nomadlc Kicker.

Did you ever stop to think that the
railroads earn comfortable dividends
each year by hauling discontentsd
people about the country? When some
people have been in place long enough
to get acquainted and earn enough
money to buy railroad tickets to some
other point they become restless and
decide TO continue their search for the
town where they can make living
without causing their brows to sweat.
The railroad agent takes their money
and sends them over the hills and far
away. and they stay there just long en-
ough to gather enough shekels to move
somewhere else. They finally wind up
in some place where the female portion
of the household does the neighborhood
washing to support the family while the
partner Of the unsuccessful household
sits on a salt barrel and bla,nes ths
monopolies and corporations because
the rich are growing richer and the
poor poorer. His own life history
makes his argument ridiculous, but he
never thinks of that He's ashamed e
think of himself. lf.-South Sioux City

mining and metallurgy, in turning down
q certain district in the Southern Hills.
1t was somewhat amusing to listen to
the profoun$ (?) summary of the cyl.

conclusion. In order to emphasize the
unrefutability Of the adverse opinion
reached regarding this particular area OF
the Black Hills, he called attention to
the fact that an old Californian miner

The gentleman that passed such
Judgment on one Of the mineral dis
tricts OF Pennington county confessed to
the writer that he did not make one fire
assay from the samples gathered there,
but upon making pan tests and finding
no free gold did not hesitate (psrhaps
thoughtessly) to speak disparingly Of
the metallic possibilities of the whole
belt. 1t stand us in hand, if We have a
desire to promote the property interests
OF this part Of the state. to 60 no further
in denouncing proposition than actual
tangible facts admit. There is not the
least necessity Of misplaced investments
at this time in the mines, as the mining
and Milling facilities are such that pros

mine the ore and make practical mill
tests before they are asked to tase q

Before We enter into the business of

about. Making of-hand comments pre-.

A "Dog-On" Story,

After perusal of the following sou,
stirring story. told by the irrepresslole
scribe Of the Bald Mountain News, we
are forced to the conclusion that the
scribe is the most pronounced prevari-
Gator in the Hills, or that the Flkhorn
is the slowest coach that ever turned a
wheel. Here is the story:
"a prospector who had spent several
years of the best part of his life living
in gloomy log cabin and indulging in
the luxury of pork and beans, recently
sold his claims for a good round figure
and concluded to take trip TO his old
home in the east. On leaving for the
scenes of his boyhood days he could not
think of leaving his dog, a shaggy yellow
mongrel, which had been almost his
only companion in the many years cf
poverty and prospecting Upon board
ing the Elkhorn train at Deadwood, his
blue overalls and blouse wrapped up in
shawl strap, with an inch rope at
tached TO the dogs neck, Conductor
Bert Cox informed. him that he could
not take the cur into the chair car, to
which the knight Of the pick and shovel
made vigorous protest in behalf of his
dog. Finally the prospector asked if he
could be permitted to tie the dor TO the
rear end Of the train, which Conductor
Cox said he had no objections if he
thought the sky poodle could stand the
trip. This done, and the prospector
took a seat in the smoker and proceeded
to enjoy few whGs from an old
charred Missouri Meerschaum" Ev-
cry time the conductor would pass

Finally when Rapid City was reached
Mr.. Cox accompanied the prospector to
the rear end of the train to see if the
canine was in need refreshments, and
all that could he found was the raveled
ends of a rope dangling about the break
beams. Cox remarked that he thought
the "purp" must have become weary of
travelling and taken the back track. The
prospector only smiled and said "the
cussed dog had chawed the rope in two
and gone on ahead of the train" Sure
enough the first thing to greet Conduc-
tor Cox as the train pulled into Chad

dog that was sitting on tine platform
