Sheriff Thompson of Aberdeen was in
Huron last week interviewing merchants
There seems to he no doubt the man ar
rested at Aberdeen is the fellow who
forged checks on j. w. Kelley L. Son and
passed them ON Huron merchants. Sheriff
Thompson is fully satisfied he has the right
man, and from admissions made by him
the sheriff is satisfied that his prisoner is
also the man who did successful business
at check forging in Minnesota. The pris-
Oner says that he does not want to 20 to
Minnesota. and will not go without requi-
sition papers; he prefers to stand trial in
South Dakota, and intimates rather than
go to Minnesota he will make confession
to certain forgeries committed in this state.

Riding the Wooden Horse.

Torture on grand scale went out
with FELTON,, the assassin Of Bucklng-
ham, but torture on small scale con-
tinued to be practiced on military Of
tenders down to the eighteenth CEN
tury. The form most frequently resort
ed to was that known as the wooden
horse to ride which was the punish
ment accorded for petty thefts, In
subordinaton and so on. The wooden
horse was made of planks nailed to-
gether so as to form a sharp ridge or
angle about eight or nine feet long.
This ridge represented the back of the
horse and was supported by four posts
or legs about five feet high placed on
a stand made movable by truckles. To
complete the resemblance to the no.
blest animal In creation a head and
tail were added.
When a soldier was sentenced, either
by court martial or by his commanding
officer, to ride the horse, he was placed
on the brute's back, with his hands tied
behind him, and frequently enough, IN
order to increase the pain, muskets
were fastened to his legs to weigh
them down or, as was jocularly said,
to prevent the fiery, untamed, bare
backed steed from kicking him off,

The Cam phor Eater.

1t Is surprising what a number OK
camphor eaters there are among the
well to do classes. The idea seems to
prevail that this gum, taken in small
and regular doses, gives peculiarly
clear creaminess of complexion, ana
scores of young women buy it for this
purpose. The habit Is, moreover, very
difficult to cast off, for camphor pro-
duces n mild form of eXhilaration and
stupefaction, and in many instances
where very large doses have been swal-
lowed the habit has become q sort or
slavery.
These camphor eaters all have n
dreamy, dazed and very listlcss air,
and In most of them there Is an ever
present longing to sleep or at least to
rest. Extreme weakness generally fol-
lows the taking of regular doses, and
have seen cases where it has been al
most difficult to tell the effects from
those Of alcohol. AS to the complexion,
If ghastly pallor be an Improvement
camphor certainly produces it.-Clinlc.

when 0plucko Was Slang.

The word pluck" affords another in
stance Of the way in which slang
words In the course Of time become
adopted into current English. We now
meet with "pluck" and ''plucky" as the
recognized equivalents of courage"
and courageous" An entry In Sir
Walter Scotts Journal shows that in
1927 the word had not yet lost its low
character. He says (yolume 2, page
3O, Want of that article blackguard-
ly called pluck" Its origin Is obvious.
From early times the heart has been
popularity regarded as the seat of cour-
age. Now, when butcher lays open q

the heart, cuts through the windpipe
and then plucks out together the united
heart and lungs-lights, he calls them
and he terms the united mass "the

DYNAMITE AND MINERS.
Long Immunity From Accident Re-
suits In Contempt of Danger.

contempt VI DdHScTs
"After miner had handled dynamite
for eight or ten years without serious
mishap 1t Is good idea to put him to
doing something else about the works."
said a gentleman of this city who has
had great deal of experience with high
explosives. "rhe chances are hundred
to one that his long immunity from ac-
cident has given him such a contempt
for danger that he Is an unconscious
menace to everybody on the premises.
He will do things that not only imperil
his own life, but the lives of all his
comrades. TO give you an illustra-
ton, once | had an old Cornishman at
work at q mine In which l was inter-
ested and had intrusted him with a
general supervision Of all the blasting.
He had been handling dynamite for
twenty years or more and was justly
regarded as an expert. During that
entire period he had never had an acci-
dent worth speaking Of, and by de-
grees the care and vigilance that were
responsible for his excellent record had
worn away until he was beginning to
entertain the deluson, common to old
hands, that the danger Of the stuff was
very much exaggerated.
zone day l was passing through
cut where some blasting had been 60
ing on and noticed the old Crrnishman
hammering a drill into what seemed to
be a boring in the rock. | asked him
what he was doing, and he told me
coolly there was a cartridge In the hole
that had failed to explode and he was
lust knockn' out the tampin' to re-
prime It, was Mortified, for at every
blow he was liable to explode the dyna-
mite, and ordered him sternly to stop
and never repeat such a performance.
The proper method would have been to
have drilled a new hole near by and
exploded the first charge with sacond
blast. He obcyed sullenly, gruh.2ling
to himself, and less than Il month after
ward was blown up while doing exact
ly the same thing. He lost his left arm
at the shoulder, his left eye and part Of
his left ear. He also lost his contempt
for dynamite, and when he finally
emerged from the hospital | gave him
back his former job. never had a
more scrupulously careful employee
than he was from that time on. 1t
seems a brutal thing to say, but there
is nothing that does an old dynamite
hand rs much good as to get blown up
once or twice."-New Orleans Times
Democrat.
