Encampments at Small Expense.

Adjt. Gen. Conklin is bound to make
the new regiment of the state guard a sue
cess, and is devising ways and means to
secure the enthusiasm of state encamp-
ments with the least possible expense, as
the means at the command of the depart-
ment are limited, and it is not desired to
place a heavy expense on the men for en-
campmelt purposes. In this line he is at
tempting to arrange for a gathering OF the
guard of the northern portion of the state
at Aberdeen at the time of the grain pail
ace; and for those of the southern part of
the state at Yankton at the time of the
state fair. The troops can without doubt
secure very low rates for getting together
at either of these points at the times men
toned, and enjoy practically all the bene-
fits of a state encampment.

SMALLPOX ON THE RANGES.
Worst Features OF the Disease
State Among Ranchmen.

Smallpox is having a great rage in the
Black Hills, especially on the cattlerange.
There are no cases of consequence in the
cities, but reports from all parts of the
range are to the effect that cattlemen and
cowboys are being taken down every day
with the disease. AT least a dozen cases
have come from one house that was left
open by the owner while he went to Stur-
gis for treatment. He had the disease and
did not know it, and he left his house open
for passersby to stop over night. A num-
Der of dances and parties have been given
to which persons with the smallpox rash
on their bodies have been invited. 1t will
be almost impossible to stamp the disease
out on the range, where quarantine re-
strictions cannot be enforced.

Judge Allen Page of Ncbraska-I re-
gard the ease with which divorces can be
obtained as one of the greatest evils of
our American life. Men and women on
the stage, and men and women in high
social positions set the example, which
others are only too ready to follow. The
trouble is that the American people are
drifting away from right principles of liv-
ing. They live artiticially instead of nat
urally, and until we leave our artificial
existence many things are bound to be
wrong.
George b. Lane of Olympia, Wash,
formerly of Nebraska-I notice much has
been said about w. V. Allen having es-
tablished a record as Il long-winded talk
err during his senatorial term at Wash
ington. Just to keep history right l want
to say that Senator Allen established a
record at Kearney in 1882, when he talk
ed for five hours before a Grand Army
OF the Republic encampment to hold open
a session until an Omaha delegation of
old soldiers in favor of Maj. Clarkson for
department commander could arrive.

he impressed me with the idea that he
was possessed of an inexhaustible source
of matter. He was entertaining, too, and
kept the delegation in good humor
throughout the entire time.

"While was in practice" said Judge
Gates of Kansas City, Il was before
the supreme court on one occasion.
While waiting for my case to be called
I listened 10 a lawyer from the south
eastern part Of the state arguing his
case. He was at least S feet I inches
tall and had voice so deep that when
he spoke i: seemed like the ruEbling
of Niagara. I will read he said,
from work with which your honors
are no doubt familiar-Blackstone
'The judges did not smile, although
there was q decided twinkle in their
eyes as they glanced at each other.
The man read few lines and then
said: There is reference here, your
honors, to a footnote by Lord Gran
vile. I would have your honors pay
particular attention to this note be-
cause it is by Lord Granville
''The judges waited expectantly. The
lawyer held the book in front Of him,
glanced at it two or three times and
then coughed as many times in rather
an embarrassed manner. Everybody
waited for several seconds. Finally
he said: Your honors. l see on closer
inspection that this footnote is in Lat

Her Brilliant Tnspirotion.

That the proverbial aOsentminded
professor is sometimes ably abetted by
his wife is illustrated By story told
of Professor Bunsen. One evening
about the usual hour for retiring he
took it into his head to run over to the
club just us he and madam were re-
turning from an evening call.
But" said the lady, Il must have
the front door locked before retire"
This emergency staggered the pro-
fesSor, and as be looked Dewildercd at
his wife tha lady, seized with an in
spiration, continued:
"I'll go in and lock the door and
throw you the key from the window"
This programme was carried out, and
when he reached the club the professor
related the incident to friend as evil
dence of his wife's unusual sagacity.
The friend greeted the story with
roar of laughter.
"And why, my dear professor" he
said, "did you rot simply admit your
wife. lock the door from the outside
and come away"
"True," CALCULATED the learned man
Of science; 1--WE never thought of that"
The climax of the incident was reach
ed al hour later when, returning home,
the professor discovered that the lady
in her excitement had thrown out the
wrong key.

To JuGGc m OpNl.

An expert cn opal mining: has recent
" explained how tie opal IS Judged as
to quality and desiraDility. First, he
says, color is Of the greatest impor-
tance. Red fire. or red in combination
with yellow. blue and green, are the
best. Blue By itself is quite valueless,
and the green opal is not of great value
unless the color is very vivid and the
pattern very good. The color must be
true-that is to say, it must not run in
streaks or patches, alternating with
colorless or inferior quality.
Pattern is described as being an i'm
portant factor, the several varieties be-
known as pin fire" when the grain is
very small, harlequin when tie color
is all in small squares, the more reg
ular the better, and the flash fire. or
clash opal'' when the color shows as a
single flash or in very large pattern.
Harlequin is the most common and IS
also popularly considered the most
beautiful. When the squares Of color
are regular and show as distinct, mi
mute checks Of red, yellow, blue and
green, it is considered magnificent.
Some stones show better on edge than

Shree-fourths Of a degree and some

be persuaded to 60 with her? What!
Leave Paris? Neverr But she offered
him a salary that was incredibly. pre-

her.
"She had hardly settled her house

almost hysterical, after the gloomy
meal was over rushed to the kitchen
to find out whether the cooks art was

An Object Lesson to Grant.

This story is told of the first time
Grant ever had charge Of large body
Of men sent cut to give battle. Ee was
colonel in the early part Of 1862, de-
tailed to go to the relief of an Illinois
regiment, supposed to be surrounded
by Confederates at Palmyra, Mo-, but
when he arrived the regiment had r=-
lieved itself by retiring. Grant then
went out to Florida, in the same state.
and as the regiment toiled over the hill
beyond which the enemy was supposed
to be in waiting Grant says he would
have "given anything to be back again
in Illinois"
At the top Of the hill, instead of
troops drawn up in battle array, Grant
saw deserted camp. 'It occurred to
me at, once that Harris had been as
much afraid Of me as had been Of
him." said Grant From that event to
the close Of the war never experienc-
ed trepidation upon confronting an en-
envy, though always felt more or less
anxiety. 1 never forgot that lie had as
much reason to fear my forces as |
had his."-Syracuse Post-Standard.

The Duke Of Marlborough is believed
to be the possessor Of the costliest
painting in the world, which was at
one time the property Of the first Duke
Of Marlborough. The picture is known
as the "Blenheim Madonna" painted
by Raphael in 1907 and now valued at
no less than f70000. 1t is eight feet
high and represents the Madonna and
Child seated on a throne, with figure
Of st. John the Baptist on the left and
that of st. Nicholas Of Bari on the
right. It's almost fabulous value is
due to the fact that it is one Of the
best preserved Of the artists works in
