land which is now Egypt scratched
upon potsherd the picture CT man
and woman.
Pleased was his tribe with that image
came in their hundreds to scan
Handled 1t, smelt 1t and grunted: verify,
this is man."
A few months ago, when excavations
were being made in little unexplored
part OF. Egypt, one of the relic hunters
came upon this potsherd. Little was
thought of the find at the time, but
the finder, an Archaeological of Berlin,
was showing it the other day, along
with his other Egyptian relics, to a
German savant, who at once became
interested in it. The savant begged
to be allowed to take the potsherd home
and study it more closely. His request
being granted, he did SO, and now he
has given his opinion that the draw
ings on the potsherd are the Oldest
representations OF mankind IN exist
ence. He believes that they are at
least 800 years older than anything OF
the kind discovered before. The
Psychologist who owns this relic calls
the pictures "The First Man and
Woman"
! A reproduction of the pictures is
piyen here. It will be noticed thai
the man wears ''goatee" and that the
woman in the case has a prominent
nose. They were evidently people o
standing in their day and generation
leaders of society, or king and sueen
perhaps, when they sat for their por
traits to the Egyptian ing.

Octopus, in the Forum, has this to say
about the 3lst district Legislators:
Arnold could have been president of
the senate, conceded, but generously
suggested that Senator McGillivray's
long service and prominence in legisla-
tive affairs, deserved such recognition
and SO it was unanimously accorded.
Frank Lish, the democratic member
from Stark county, is an old time Dako-
tan. In early days he ran a train into
Fargo, went to Colorado in 80, came back
in about a year, and was conductor west
of Mandan for a time, and then went into
merchandising at Dickinson, where he
has been a successful business man ever
since. Frank comes from Elhart county,
Indiana, and seems to be a jolly good
fellow, and the way he won out owe as
good a republican as ALT White, shows
that Frank has elements of popularity
worth mentioning. The story is told that
at the election a voter came in from the
country and was refused aballot because
his papers had expired-or something.
Simpson got hold of the voter, got him
shaved, bought him a new hat and fixed
him up slick, the voter was instructed
what to do next, and he wen to the polls
said to Inspector Crowl-"give me a
republican ballot"-got it and scratched
ALI. White-put on Frank Lish-it was
put in the ballot box-and there you are.

story-he'd want to kick Simps-but any,
how it's a good story-and the vote only
cost a hat and a shave.

An Early Death.

Died-at St. Barnabas hospital Mime
apolis, December 90. 1893. Mollie Tenn
perance Saunders, aged rs years, s
months and Is days.
Deceased was born July 4, 1872, on a
farm neal Union Hall, Franklin county,
Virginia, but resided for four years pre-
vious to coming to Dakota in 1886, at
Rocky Mount, the county seat Of Frank
lin county. The past seven years she
had taught in Stark county and was we'll
liked by both. patrons of the school and
pupils; while for her pupils she always
had the warmest affection and was al
ways ready to minister t their needs.
She was an unusually energetic, indus
trious girl, merry and bright always, free.
hearted and never refusing to grant any.
n a favor or to do a kind act.
The direct cause of her death was an
operation for an internal injury received
by a fall some three years since. The
hurt, while not keeping her from work,
caused much pain and annoyance and
was becoming more and more trouble
some. The operation was reported en-
tirely successful and the first intimation
the family had of a turn for the worse
was a telegram received Friday morning,
saying she was very low. Miss Ida left
by the first train but did not arrive until
after her sister had passed peacefully
and trustingly away, and hers was the sad
lot to accompany the body home.
The funeral was held Monday after
noon from the Congregational church
and was very largely attended by rela.
tives and friends who mourned the early
death Of a loved one. Rev. u. G. Rich
conducted the services and spoke words
of comfort and hope. The casket beau
tiful with choice flowers was borne by
Paul Hagerman, NJ. L. Ayers, S. L. Car
roll, Almon Stone, c. E. Dickinson and
Clyde Campbell and the interment was
in the Dickinson cemetery.
