Thus the Session of the Senate Pro-
ceeded Yesterday.

The ceremonies attending the presenta-
ton of the Spanish gun and American flag
to the State of Indiana had a depressing ef-
feet on the business Of the senators yester-
day. For fully a half hour before recess
was taken in order to allow the senator's to
attend the affair it was almost impossible
to hear what anyone said for the din of
the music played by the band in the corri-
dor just outside the Senate chamber doors.
AS nothing of any considerable Importance
was brought up much was taken for granted
by the senator's who couldn't hear and be-
cause Of this the business coming up to-
ward the last of the session went through
with a rush.

Father Sherman's report on social and re-

siastical point of view. 1t shows there is a
large field for reform there for statesmen
as well as for priests, and perhaps one of
the first demands is to effect a complete sep
aration of church and state.

French between them to put at the
head of a menu card. The young man
could not even say, Hang it," in any

Cyrano and De Monvel which she had
painstakingly acquired for the occa-

to say, tune atfaire tres eharmante,"

Love Spoiled Her for Business.

Chicago Record The heroine OF this tale
is a young woman, and a pretty woman,
and "A business woman. Nobody disputes
the first two claims, and II is only recent
ly that a doubt OF the last has crossed
the mind of the public. The woman dealt

which was a very wise and pleasant thing
for him to do. Having called once he was
sensible enough to see when he was well
of, and so he called again. and on another
evening, and some more. M Miss
Blanks interest in the real estate bust
ness sensibly decreased. She thought as
often as before, but her thoughts took a
different channel. This is where we take
the side of Miss Blank, as against the

She should have attended to her real es-

South Dakota Brevities.

For a long time it seemed impossible
for the state land department of South
Dakota to get out the funds which
came into the department, as they
were limited TO small loans on real
estate, and for some reason there was
no great demand for money to take up
bonds. This is now changed. Last
year the office began to urge upon the
county officials the necessity for get
ting the fund invested in interest bear
ing securities, and the matter was agi-
tated through the press OF the state.
This resulted in a number of school
districts funding outstanding bonds
into the state fund, and an increased
demand for farm loans. These two
sources of demand have at last cleared
up the fund TO such an extent that
there is but a small amount left on
hand at the present time.
Among the witnesses from the east

school at present is lar. When Mr.. Da-'
Wis was asked whether it pays to edu-
cate an Indian he answered that it
rarely did. The Indian pupils are
usually very bright in everything ex-

ity in the trades, but, no matter how
we'll educated the Indian pupils are,

an option on the original Holy Ter

who first approached John S. George,
