Mrs. W. w. Sabin has just completed
three large paintings for Mrs Talent,
They are to be reproduced in the his
tory Mother Talent is preparing The
pictures represent the first stockade
built in Custer City, S. d., and is most
natural and recognized by any who ever
saw the old land mark. The second
represents the departure of Uncle"
Witcher and companion for Yankton to
let the people know Of the gold find and
to get supplies. The third represents
the stockade with the soldiers from Fort
Laramie who had come to the rescue of
Mother Talent and son and others who
were left there. Tho pictures are alone
worth the price Of the book because of
the natural and life like positions and
scenery. Mrs. Sabin is an artist our city
is very proud of.-Sturgis Press.

The party given by Mrs. Weir on
Monday evening in honor of her son
Jesse was a highly enjoyable occasion.
None but the band boys were present,
and it proved TO be a complete surprise
to their worthy leader, Jesse, for such
it was intended to be. Music and
games were an enjoyable feature ofthe
pleasant evening, and were INDUCED in
until all were babe to partake Of the
delicious refreshments, which were
waiting them and which were enjoyed
to the fullest extent. After lunch,
music, games and speaking were resum
ed and kept up until late, when with
many congratulations the merry crowd
sought their homes, resolving that to
be one Of the most enjoyable evenings
eve spent in Custer.

A Band Boy.

II. G. Uamaker, our genial and rust
ling supervisor of the Forest Reserve"
will have to purchase a sheep herder's
wagon, so that he will be able to be
continually on the move with his family
and all his household effects. That is,
if he carries out the program which the
Deadwood and Hot Springs papers have
marked out for him. Each claim that
he is about to become a resident oftheir
attractive burg, while as a matter of fact,
he has no idea of moving at all for the
present. No one who lived in Custer
ever yet left the town, unless he found
it necessary to do so to better his con
dition financially. Such condition does
not apply to Mr.. H., who, being an Off.
Ger Of the government with a stated
salary, is at liberty to make his resi-
dence anywhere within the boundaries
of the reserve. So we incline TO the
opinion, that when he does pull up
stakes to settle down in some other
locality, it will not be for the reason
that he goes to seek a more healthful or
pleasant spot to live, but it will be be-
cause his business calls him to some
other part of the reserve, or his instruc'
tons from the department at Washing
ton may require the change.
Rev. E. Edwards, pastor Of the En-.
glish Baptist Church at Minersville, Pa,
when suffering with rheumatism, was
advised to try Chamberlain's Pain Balm.
He says: "A few applications of this
liniment proved Of great service to me.
1t subdued the Inflammation and reliev-
ed the pain. Should any sufferer pro
fit by giving Pain Balm a trial it will
please me-" For sale by A. j. Jones q

Years of Perfect Happiness-His Own
and His Wifs's Love.
The following letter was written in
1888 by Thackeray to his wife:
Here have We been two years mar
ried and not single unhappy day.
oh, I do bless God for all this happi-
ness which he has given me. It Is so
great that I almost tremble for the fu-
ture, except that 1 humbly hope-for
what man is certain about his own
weakness and wickedness? Our love is
strong enough to Withstand any pres
sure from without, and, as it is a gift
greater than any fortune, Is likewise
one superior to poverty, or sickness, or
any other worldly evil with which
providence may visit us. Let us pray,
as l trust there is no harm, that none
of these may come upon US, as the best
and wisest in the world prayed that
he might not be led into temptation
Il think happiness is as good as
prayers and feel in my heart a kind
of overlooking thanksgiving which is
quite too great to describe in writing.
This kind of happiness is like a fine
picture; you only see little b.. of it
when you are near the canvas. Go
little distance and then you see how
beautiful it is.
I don't know that shall have done
much by coming away, except by be-
ing so awfully glad to get back

They Were Absent Minded.

The following anecdotes about abb
sence of mind were related by Rev.
Sidney Smith: THE oldest instance
happened to me-" he said, in forget
ting my own name. 1 knocked at a
door in London and asked if Mrs. B.
was at home. Yes, sir Pray, what
name shall 1 say?' 1 Looked in the
mans face, astonished- What was my
name? 1 believe the man thought me
mad, but it is literally true that during
the space. of two or three minutes
had no more idea of who l was than
if l had never existed. 1 did not know
whether 1 was a dissenter or a layman.
At last, to my great relief, it flashed
across me that 1 was Sidney Smith. |

jogging along the road until he came
to a turnpike. What is to pay?' he
asked. Pay, sir? for WHAT? returned

horse? Here is no horse,' No horse?

EMERSON'S WICKEDNESS.
Julia Ward Howe Warned Him About
the Devil.

Julia Ward Howe Warned Him About
the Devil.
In her benighted New York girl
hood Julia Ward Howe was taught to
regard Ralph Waldo Emerson as
wicked man and she would have de-
clined his acquaintance if he had not
been introduced to her in a way which
made that impossible, says the Boston
Transcript. But having once been in
troduced, in the course of a trip be-
tween Boston and New York some if
ty-nine years ago, and then having had
her hard judgment of this wicked man
softened a little by seeing him carry
ing a poor child on his shoulders, she
consented to make him the object of a
little missionary work. So she said to
him earnestly: you seem to forget,
Mr.. Emerson, that the devil is going
around all the time, seeking whom he
may devouri" "Oh, no, Miss Ward"
he said, Il don't think I forget it, but
don't you think the angel ought to be
stronger than the demon?" This Ques-
ton seems to have been in the nature
OF ''sticker" to the young lady from
New York and she discontinued her
work for that trip.

POPULARITY OF SHORT SKIRTS.

L.
ranors Overrun with Orders for shes-
Top Length Costumes.
The short skirt promises to be a.
popular an article of apparel this sea-
son as the pique frock or the net dane
ing gown Women who never rode
bicycle have been wearing shoetop
skirts in the mountains for several
years, and, in combination with stout
laced boots, they constitute the only
sensible costume for women who wish
to exercise their limbs without endan-
gering their necks, says the New York
Commercial Advertiser. The popular
ity of the short skirt grows apace, al
though pessimists say bicycles are be-
ing neglected and forgotten. The COM
fort, convenience and cleanliness
of the gown that clears the ground
by ten or twelve inches are points in
it's favor, but to most women the alb
breviated garment is becoming, and
that accounts for the fact that dry
goods shops and tailors are overrun
with orders for shoe-top length cos
tunes or skirts alone. They are made
of checks, plaids and pretty two-toned
effects in smooth cloths, cheviots, serge
or rough, shaggy camePs hair. They
should not be too light in weight, and,
of course, should hang well. Even at
Larchmont, Narragansett and on Long
Island, where mountain elm bling is
impossible and pedestrianism is not
among the popular sports" the man
nish, square-toed shoe and the short
skirt are worn with shirt waist and
sailor in the morning. Little slippers,
1ace-frilled muslins and trailing skirts,
long associated in the popular mind
with summer mornings on hotel or
cottage piazzas, will be relegated to
the matrons too fat or too staid for
''active service" or to the girl who is
willing to admit that she can do moth
ing but dance, embroider and play
croquet. Such girls form a lone
ly minority in these athletic days,
but not to have short skirt this sum-
mer will be an open admission that
one is a member of what yachtsmen
call the rocking chair fleet.

Senate Provides For Appoint
ment of a Tax Commission.

The present legislature has become so
involved in abolishing school districts
and providing for the construction of
new bridges that the hope of securing
legislation to regulate the present sys-
tenn of taxation has been destroyed.
Most important in the plans of this
legislature was the plan to have the
present system of assessment and taxa
ton reformed Yet nothing has been
done except to postpone the matter I'M
til the next regular session.
This poStponement was brought about
by the senate in the passage of a bill
to create a commission to Investigate
and prepare bill on the subject.
The commission is TO be composed of
three members of each political party,
to be appointed by the governor follow
ing the election of 1900.
The members of the commission are
to be selected from the members of the
legislature elected in 1900.
The election will be held in November
legislature will take their seats early
in January
In the Intervening two months Gov
ernOr Stanley will name the commission
which will convene at once and form
ulate the bill which is to be considered
by the legislature of 1901.
In the meantime the rate of taxation
will remain extortionate and the sys-
tenn of valuations negotiable and in a
majority of cases unreasona BILE

amount 10 nothing, as the house viii

The employees of the senate are very in
dignant because some of the senators have
charged that there is a sneak thief among
them, carrying of clothing and hats.
Some OF the employees were eager to
thrash the reporter who gave publicity
to these charges.
Then some of the senators who had pre-
viously stated that they had been ''touch-
ed said they have since found the miss
ing articles.
Senator Titus. who was not mentioned
in the article. lost a hat and muff1er from
the senate clOakroom. That they were
stolen Mr. Titus has no doubt

the charges against the employees whom
they now defend Members told reporters
that certain articles had been stolen.
