The death of Senator Kyle of South
Dakota removes Woodworking, con-
scientious man. from the United States
senate. He was what mi ght be termed
an accident politically, = but : on the
whole he turned out much better thar
such accidents usually do he was
first elected to the senate as a result Of
a deadlock, and when his term Eek
pired, he secured reelection in much
the same way. He had a sort of a
personal following and received the
Republican vote because It would elect
him and he defeated. the schemes OF
the opposition in other directions. BE
first gravatated toward the Populists
but as they were swallowed up by the
Democrats, he became more Of what
he always styled himself, an indepen-
dent and grew more and more in sym
pathy with the Republican policies.
After the collapse Of the silver issue
he became still more in sympathy with
the Republicans and was warm sup
porter Of President McKiniey's admin
istration. While not brilliant man, he
possessed good judgment. and brought
himself to the front in the senate by
his untiring work. In fact his death
is due to overwork in that body. He
was particularly interested in. the
matters of education and labor and he
was instrumental in getting the indus
trial commission, of which he was
chairman, formed, and largely directed
it's work. In everything he undertook
he was most conscientious in its per-
Torrance. Among his home people he
stood high and the kindly feeling en-
tertained for him by his neighbors at
Aberdeen is good indication of the
real character of the man.

whale Houses.

At one time not very long ago there
was on the Lancashire coast. near
Lythan. England. n cottage and boat
house that were made almost entirely
from the remains of score or so OF
whales that had been driven ashore
some years before. The framework OF
the edifice consisted wholly Of whale
bone. and the dried skins of the huge
creatures were neatly and strongly fas-
tened as covering for walls and roof.
There is another building OF exactly
the same kind at Peterhead. In Scot
land. and in this case the skulls OF the
whales and some Of the heavier bones
are used with great effect as outside
ornaments.

nection Rev. &. G. Weith tells of
the last marriage ceremony he per-
formed in Oklahoma. He says the

was thirty years of age, while the
groom was twenty.one and stood
six feet high in his shoes. He was
a regular greener" and his antics
would have been very amusing IN a
church full of people. Another
case related by a minister was that
of couple from the rural "dees-
tricts. " The groom asked the pas.
tor what he would charge for per
forming the marriage rite, and was
told g. would be sufficient. lie
searched all his pockets but could
only find 81.
II aint got but a dollar, par.

The minister waited to see what
would follow. The bride turned
red in the face and after fidgetiug in
her pocket, brought out twenty.
