nm open Letter.
FOLSOM, Custer Co, South Dakota,
Dec. 15.-(Special.)-Mrs. H. d. Hyde

pressing her unbounded gratitude to

cure of herself and little daughter. I.
Mrs. Hyde has been troubled with

strong enough to express her gratitude.
She has written the following:
r cannot say too much in praise OF
Dodd's Kidney Pills. They are the
greatest kidney and heart medicine
ever used. l ! had been troubled for over
three years with a sewers pain in my
heart. which entirely disappeared after
! had taken a few doses of Dodd's
Kidney Pills. | also gave them to my
little girl, whose kidneys had been
weak, and she commenced to improve
from the very first dose. Dodd's Kid
rey Pills are certainly a wonderful
medicine. l would be pleased to have
this, my statement, published, a. | feel
1t my duty to let others know just
what the Pills will do for them.

Contrasted With That of the White
Man.
1t is strange that two races, working
side by sa!e should possess so many
opposite traits of character. The white
man has strong will and convictions.
and is set in his ways, He lives an in
door, monotonous life. restraining him
self like a Puritan, and is inclined to
melancholy. The prevalence of Popu-
lism throughout h South is nothing
but the outcome of this morbid tend
eney. Farmers and merchants are en-
tirely absorbed in their business, and
the women, especially the married wo-
men, contrast with the women of Ger
many, France, and even England. in
their indoor life and Discrimination to
iningle with the world outside. Pub
lie parks and public concerts, such as
are found in Europe, which call out
husband. wife and children for a few
hours OF rest and communion with
their friends. are almost unknown in
the South. The few entertainments
hat receive sanction generally exclude
all but the well-to-do, by the cost Of
admission. The life of the poor in
town and country is bleak and bare to
the last degree.
Contrasting with this tendency is the
free-and-easy-life of the blacks. The
burdens OF the present and future sit
lightly upon their shoulders. They love
all the worldly amusements: in their
homes they are free entertainers, and
in their fondness for conversation and
love OF street life they are equal to the
French and Italians.
May we not hope that the conflict OF
these two opposite races is working
out some advantages to both. and that
the final result will justify all the con-
fiict has cost?-Prof. Gerome Dowd. i'm

The fish often grows to the length of

The Christmas anniversary is the theme of
the week. Our Sunday school observed it in
an appropriate manner by tree and enter
tanment at the town hall Monday evening,
which was largely attended and enjoyed by all.
Our annual church meeting comes on Fri
day evening this week in the ladies' rooms at
8 p. m. Chicken pie supper will be served at
8 80, after which the reports of the officers
for the past year will be made and a new list
elected for the ensuing year. One of the
features of this meeting will be roll call by the
clerk, when each resident member is expected
to respond in person to his name.
