Of the town fish market:
"Have you any salmon?" I asked OF
the old salt. who was sharpening u

"No. ma'am," he answered, aud
then he added, in a pleasantly conde.
ecending way, I'VE don't sell nothin
but fish here"
"Well." I responded, "salmon is
fish, you know. They are caught in

Gland! I know folks eat all sorts of
things. I hear about 'em eatin frogs
and calm them fish. Folks are strange
in their eatin, same as they be in their
Clothes" with a critical glance at my
bicycle skirt, "hut all the fish that folks
ought to eat ran be caught right round

Love Taps.

Marital relations in Ireland are as q
rule Of the most harmonious character.
and il a husband and wife do fall out
occasionally and even resort to blows
they think nothing the worse Of each
other in the end. Pill Lane is a classic
locality in Dublin, which might with
some truth be described as the Billings
gate Of the Irish metropolis. "That's a
fine black eye you've got. miesis," said
q man to a woman sitting over her
basket of fish in Pill Lane. "Fightin,
I suppose, ag'in." "No. I wasn't fight
in, " replied the fishwoman. "Himself
cher %husband) it was that gave me
that" and, facing fiercely round on her
questioner, she added, land I'd like to
know who had a better right"
A laborer, ont of employment, applied
for outdoor relief for himself and his
wife at the North Dublin union.
"Well, my good fellow. we must have
evidence that you are legally married"

A pretty level-headed and prominent
citizen, and heavy taxpayer, remarked
to the STAR that we s'might as well
talk to the winds about raising the
price OF warrants as to talk of legisla.
ting the price up unless the expenses
are kept within the income" This is
exactly right. Every official who has
a voice in the expenditure of public
money should resign if he doe. not try
to carry out that princinls.. Without
adhering 10 that principle any corpor
alton is just as sure to go to ruin and
Bankruptcy as is an individual.

State Treasurer Schamber is said to
be talking of resigning because of the
great personal risk and responsibility
he has to assume, and the small pay
therefor. We believe the state should
either raise the salary of the treasurer
name the repositories for state funds
or else permit the treasurer to accept
interest on daily balances. To not dc
one of these three things is an imposit.
ion upon the state treasurer that q
grand young state like South Dakota
can not afford to sanction. Not ever
county treasurers are so shabbily
treated.

Liens For Service Of Sires.

The late Legislature changed the law in
regard to liens for service of sires in some
respects. Every owner of a sire shall
file a statement with the commissioner of
agriculture and labor, giving the name,
age, description and pedigree or breed
ing of such sire, so far as known, as we'll
as the terms and conditions upon which
he is advertised for service.
The commissioner shall thereupon is
sue a certificate to the owner who shall
file a copy of such certificate with the re.
gister of deeds of the county or counties
in which such sire shall be used, and
copies of such certificate shall be posted
conspicuously in all places where such sire
shall stand. The certificate shall o n
tain the information furnished in the
| statement of the owner, and shall be pro-
cured and filed prior to the service of
/ such sire
The owner of any sire who has obtain
ed and properly recorded his certificate
shall have a lien upon the offspring of
of such sire and upon the female served,
upon filing a statement of the account
with the register Of deeds, providing such
statement is filed within eight months
from the time of such service. The Law
provides for foreclosure of the lien the
same as for foreclosure of personal pro
perty mortgages.
1t will pay owners of sires to look thi:
law up carefully. 1t will be found or

1t is agreed by all bicycle manufactur.
ers that the 1899 models represent the
perfect wheel. Improvements seem to
be impossible. Precisely the same thing
is true of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
1t represents the limits Of science in over
coming disease, and it is impossible to
make a better medicine for the stomach,
liver, kidneys and blood. A few doses of
the Bitters will start weak, nervous and
bloodless people on the road to strength.
A regular course of treatment will bring
back the pink to the cheeks and sparkle
to the eyes. Sleep will come naturally,
and it will be refreshing and healthful.
Dyspepsia, indigestion and constipation
will be completely banished, and the
blessings of true health bestowed. Never
