Thrifty.


A Canadian minister had just mar
ried a couple. The registers were
signed, and nothing remained but. the
giving and taking of the fee. The
bridegroom. a strapping young fellow,
asked:
How much is it?"
The parson glanced at the smiling
bride and slyly answered.:
whatever you think it is worth"
Now. it should have been worth a
great deal, for the girl was young and
pretty.
81 reckon it's worth about 5 shil-
lings," said the swain, holding out two
half crowns.
The clergyman looked blankly at the
coins, then turned to the fair one.
''I'll 1~awr it to you. madam" he said.
"What do you think it's worth?"
What did this young and blushing
bride do? She reached out, took the
coins. handed one half crown to the
minister and put the other into her
pocket!
"a thrifty wife," said the minister,
with sigh. sis her husbands crown"
Perhaps he "s.:-,.::tt tn hove said half
crown.-London Tiii-EE..-.

Operation. at 1,urke's Stone Quarry.

John L. Burke went to Rapid City
last week t. confer with the state
board of regents, who we're in session
there, relative to the furnishing of
stone for the new school of mines
building at Rapid City. If stone is
used in the construction of sthe build.
ing it is very likely that stone from the
Burke quarries will be used, as it is
unquestionably superior to any other
stone submitted. This stone has been
approved by the United States govern
ment after a thorough test; it can be
furnished in any size and quantity de-
sired, with the company's new and i'm
proved facilities for getting out and
handling it, and with the new saw plant
in operation, sawed stone of almostany
Dimensions can be furnished on short
notice and at price that other stone
companies can not duplicate. Mr..
Burke is now devoting his whole time
and attention to the affairs of his stone
company and has the work we'll organ
lied and every thing running smoothly
The gigantic derricks, tramway, saw
plant and other late improved machin-
cry for getting out stone and preparing
il for market are worth going miles to
see. About twenty five men fare now
| teadily employed at these quarries and
the demand for the product is rapidly
increasing. Mrs. William Atkinson has
charge of the boarding house, which is
a guarantee that the men will be we'll
cared for. Everything iskept in apple
pie order and the meals served to the
men would do credit to Delmonico, a
fact to which the writer can testify.

SOLDIERS HOME NOTES.

The impossibility of observing Deco.
ration day on account of the rain was
a serious disappointment to the men,
bers of the Home but the program,
consisting of the ritual service of the
G. A. Il. and of the Relief Corps fol-
lowed by a short but eloquent address
by Commandant Lucas and an appro-
pirate recitation by Mrs. Bickmore, the
accomplished wife of the new surgeon
of the Home, was fully carried out on
| Friday on the occasion of the funeral
of comrade William S. Maddox. The
death of comrade Maddox was pathetic.
Arrangements had been made especi-
ally for the attendance of the inmates
of the hospital at the ceremonies of
the day, and to soften the disappoint.
ment DIR. and Mrs. Bickmore, both OF
whom are excellent entertainers, gave
a short entertainment in the evening
in the convalescent ward of the hospi
tai. The short program was closed
with humorous recital by Mrs. Bick
more which highly pleased the ole
fellows and amid the laughter which
attended the dispersal Comrade Mat
tox fell and almost instantly died. The
immediate cause of death was drops,
causing heart failure.

Hicks Weather for June.

Ira r. Hicks says that June will come
in at the eliminating stages of a storm
period which begins the last days of
May. On the second there will be a
marked change to cooler Immediately
after the close of the storms. A return
of storm conditions will appear on and
touching the fourth to sixth; showers
resulting from the falling barometer
and higher temperature ON those days.
Rising barometer and cooler, fairer
weather will be the natural order be-
hind the disturbances of this period,
lasting progressively from about the
sixth to the eighth.
About Sunday, the ninth, to Wednes-
day the twelfth, many electrical storms
with rain and possibly violence, will
most likely occur. The annual June
showers are naturally to be looked for
from this time till near the end of the
month, but storms of wide extent and
dangerous intensity are quite likely on
the days mentioned above. Showery,
unsettled weather is probable from the
fifteenth to the eighteenth; very warm,
muggy weather will prevail at this time
and heavy rain storms will visit locali-
ties, especially regions along the Allan
tic seaboard. But there will be q
marked shortage of diffused rainfalls
and many interior sections in the grain
growing states will feel thus early the
effect of drouth.
A storm period extending from the
twentieth to the twenty. sixth will bring
~ l-o. q l.:s;estion of the June storms.
!. ora. fheIsSar of days there will beare-
petition of intense and vivid electrical
storms, with c .oudburst here and there.
Some narrow localities will have too
much rain, and local floods; but i'm
mediately alter the June rains it will
be found that the greater part of the
country is short of moisture, and
general rains will be needed to mature
the crops in most central, western and
northern sections.

.witl,in the Gates. J"

'.Within the Gates" by Elizabeth
Stuart Phelps, begun in May, is con-
tinued in the June number of Nc
Clules Magazine. If ever an imagin-
alton of man or woman was ardent and
ideal and fit to peer into the hidden
places, it certainly is that of Elizabeth
Stuart Phelps, whose work always
seems on the verge of revelation
when she writes of things beyond the
sphere of experience. Particularly in
the present drama in McClure's does
she rise to wonderful heights of emo
tion and spirituality. DIR. Thorne, her
hero, who is killed in wild runaway
through city streets, awakens in the
environment of daily life. 1t is only
after he has endeavored fruitlessly to
get into communication with those
about him, denizens of a living world,
that there is finally borne upon him a
realization of his changed status on
earth. From the earth DIR. Thorne
penetrates into Heaven and He'll, where
by series of strange experiences his
mind, which on earth had heen strongly
materialistic, is gradually Odev0 oped
until he begins toappreciate the Spirit
ual point of view to which he has
always been blind. Never has Mrs.
Ward been more powerful than in this
effort to trace the development of a
soul in the other world.

A sensible query.

Mr.. Ashmead- Bartlett once told a
good story about his going to Ireland
for the first time. "As soon as land
ed in Ireland l attempted to look for
traces Of some of my ancestors. who
came from the extreme north of Ire
land. Meeting an intelligent looking
Irishman, informed him of my mis-
sion. saying that my ancestors emigrat-
ed from about that spot 100 years ago.
and was there trying to look them up:
He answered.: "Ye say your ancestors
emigrated from our town about 100
years ago? Thin why are ye looking
for them here Y'-London Tit-Bits.

GOT A SENATOR'S HAT.
Actor Crane Appropriated the Head
gear of q Kansas Statesman.

Actor Crane Appropriated the Head.
gear of . Kansas Statesman.
Among the stories that are retailed
in the cloakroom Of the senate when
that body is in session at Washington
is one of how William II. Crane, the
actor, put the finishing touches upon
his great character study, "The Sem
ator."
''As you well KNOW" said one of the
group, "Crane took his character al
most directly from Senator Plumb of
Kansas. Crane had just started out
with The Senator and had opened in
Washington. We had all seen the per-
formance and liked it immensely. But
thought saw one defect. Crane
wore high silk hat, which was not ut
all. according to my thinking, in keep
ing with the imitation of Plumb, who
always wore the characteristic broad
brimmed hat Of the southerner. One
evening when Crane. Ingalls,, Plumb
and myself happened to be dining to-
gether remarked to Crane about the
matter of the high hat.
"'You really ought not to wear it,
for it is not in keeping with the char
acter,' said 1. You ought to wear one
like Plumb's.'
'Crane did not say much in answer,
but when lie arose from the table he
reached out for Plumbs hat and calm
ly put it on. Leaving his own hat for
Plumb, Crane went off down the street
with the old felt affair jammed down
over his forehead. The senator was
too surprised to offer objection. The
next night Crane appeared ON the
stage with Plumb's hat on his head
and thereafter Wore it at every per-
Torrance. Chronicle.

An Up.to-Date Farm journal.

The announcement is made that Prof.
James R. Hart, of Lebanon, Ind, has
purchased an interest in the Dakota
Farmer and after June first will have
an active share in the management Of
the paper. The firm name will remain
as heretofore w. F. T. Bushnell Co.
Hon. M. +. Greeley, who is one of the
very highest authorities in the North
west on ger eral farm topics, and with
out a peer in the Dakotas, will contin-
ue at the head of the editorial staff.
Prof. Hart is spoken of as man of
unusual ability and we predict that his
connection with this firm will mean
still greater advancement for this mo-
del farm paper. It is expected that he
will have active charge Of the office
and Mr.. N. E, Carnine the present man.
ager will give his attention largely to
looking after their large force of travel
ing men and other outside interests.
In this connection we are pleased t6
refer to the wonderful growth made
by the Dakota Farmer. During the
past eighteen months their subscrip.
tion list has been doubled. It now
reaches every niche and corner of the
two Dakotas, supplying our farmers
with up-to- date farm literature of the
highest order and that which is wholly
adapted to Dakota conditions. It may
be matter of surprise even to some
Aberdeen readers to learn that it re-
quires over two tons of blank paper to
print single issue. The paper has
over 100000 readers and still their list
is growing rapidly. The claim is made
that the Dakota Farmer is the only
publication of its class northwest of
Chicago that owns it's own building
and printing outfit.-From Aberdeen

CONTROL OF UNION PACIFIC

NEW YORK. May 1.-The Mail and

II was learned from official sources
that VIM. X. Vanderbilt is a large
holder OF Union Pacific stock and that
he acquired his holdings after reaching
a full understanding with F.. H. Har-
riman. Those in a position TO know
assert that Hartman was placed at the
head OF the road at the instance Of
Vanderbilt, although others declare that
Hartman is the joint choice Of Messrs
w. X. Vanderbilt. Geo. J. Gould anc

There is good ground for believing
that George J. Gould. as president o.
the Missouri Pacific and leading di
rector in the Union Pacific. has been Z

that by means of his large private
holdings OF stock the latter road will
jointly with the Northwestern and pos
