City Children In the Country.

A party of visitors to the country
was very much interested last summer
by the remarks of some New York
for a week or two In the country.
There were quite a number of them
playing about a pretty farm house one
day when some passers-by stopped and
began to talk to them. did you rel
see any chickens b%efore?" asked one
lady, as a flock of fowls came strutting
down the lawn. ooh, yes" said one
OF the eldest, wisely, with a knowing
shake Of his head. We've always seen
'em--lots-only generally 1t was after
they was peeled"

A Bad Policy.

According to all reports Spearfsh
is engaged in a task which smacks
very loudly of Deadwood tactics.
The Queen City wants the state
school of mines in this city closed
because, as the "push' behind the
move states, the school of mines is
drawing pupils from the Spearfsh
normal. A petition has been cir
culated at the Queen City this week
asking that the school of mines be
closed. The petition will be sent to
Pierre.
Spear6sh's plan is something like
the tactics usually employed by
Deadwood and The UNION would
venture a new hat that Dead wood
parties are mixed up in the move.
The expected appropriation for i'm
provements at the Spearfish normal
did not materialize and now that
town is sore and vows that inaSmuch
as her school did not get wi. at it
asked the state school of mines must
shut up shop. The policy is a bad
one and caused a ripple Of surprise
here when it became known.
Spearfsh, if the matter really is as
it has been reported, ought not to
father the move. She can't afford
do it. Both the state normal and
>cnool of mines are institutions,
neither of which can well be closed.
The Black Hills cannot afford to do
without either and the Qleen City
would do well to let the matter
rest.
