A Typical South African Store.

O. R.. Larson, of Bay Vialla, Sun
days River, Cape Colony, conducts a
store typical of South Africa, at
which can be purchased anything
from the proyerbial "needle to an
anchor" This store is situated in
a valley nine miles from the nearest
railway station and about twenty-five
miles from the nearest town. Mr..
Larson says: II am favored with
the custom Of farmers within a radius
Of thirty miles, to many of whom I
have supplied ~Chamberlain's reln-
edies. All of these testify to their
value in a household where a doctors
advice is almost out of the question.
Within one mile of my store the popu-
lation is perhaps sixty. OF these,
within the past Twelve months, no
less than fourteen nave been abso-
lutely cured by Chamberlain's cough

The Heir Presumptiye.

Most people have got the technique
of things dynastic at their fingers ends
this year. Nevertheless our old friend
the heir presumptive has again made
his incorrect appearance, this time in
the leading illustrated paper. The eld-
est son Of the Prince Of Wales is thus
called in the underline Of a first page
illustration, says the London Chron-
1cle. The prince in question is nobody's
heir presumptive. If his heredity is to
be mentioned at all, he must be called
the heir apparent of the heir apparent.
An heir presumptiye is heir pending
the possible birth of an heir in the di-
rect line.
There is only one person more gen
orally misunderstood than the heir pre-
sumptive, and that is the morganatic
wife. This ir~reproachable lady is gen
orally alluded to by English journalists
as though her title We're a euphemism
for some name of much more common
kind and as though an alliance with
her were not exclusive.

A STRONG DRAMA
The DeomSter Presented in an adj
mirable Manner by a Very
Competent Company.

One of the very best companies tina
has appeared in Mitchell in a number
Of years vas that of Alden Benedict.
which presented The Deemster'' t
a fairly good audience at the Crane
oprea house Friday evening. The
play itself is an attractive ne
adapted from the book of that name
by Hall Game. The scene is laid in tbs
Isle Of Man and for its central figure
it has a dis%solute, uuprlncipled son
of the bishop of the Isle. The dram
atization is drawn well and the thread
Of the story is we'll maintained
through the play. The company
which presented it was all that could
be desired in nearly every respect.
Every member was capable in his
part and the audience received it in
fine shape. Daniel Mylrea, the son
of the bishop, gave an excellent por-
trayal Of the dissolute character, and
his work all through vas true to life
and not oyerdrawn. Walter Law
renee as the Bishop was admirable.
A splendid figure, a voice that was
soft and well modulated and a dig
nifty that added to the part made his
appearance to be admired and all
through he was very impressive.
John II. Nicholson assumed the char
acter of the Deemster in a manner
that vas highly realistic. He had a
splendid conception of the character
and his portrayal of it was all that
could be desired. Mr.. Nicholson:s
work was frequently applauded, as
was also that of the other characters.
VIM. j. Schultz presented Hommy-
Beg in fine shape and with the assist
ance of Mable Eston as Kerry Qualyle,
created what amusement there was
in the play. Miss Anna Cogswell as
sumed the part of Mona Mylrea, the
daughter OF the Deemtser, and too
much cannot be said of Ter splendid
work. All through the drama her
work was well received by the audience
and frequently her acting was n
dorsd by applause. Her acting was
especially pleasing in the scene with
Dan and it was very affecting. The
people were well pleased with the
drama and its manner of presenta-
ton.

The steady increase of manufac-
tured exports from this country con-
tinues. There seems to be no abate-
ment to the prosperity Of the facto-
ries. In commenting on the exports
for August the Philadelphia Record
has the following interesting inform
alton,
The summary Of foreign commerce
for August last issued by the Treas
ury Bureau of Statistics indicates a
steady increase in the relative pro-
portion Of manufactured exports.
OF the nearly S93, 900, 900 of exports
IN that month more than one-third,
or 36.3 per cent were products of
American manufacturing industries.
agricultural exports, which ten
years ago constituted nearly four
ltths to the total outgo, amounted
TO but 54.62 per cent in August.
Ihls ratio has been measurably
maintained throughout the current
calendar year, the proportionate
division since January l showing 81. 10
per cent of agricultural exports and
a. ~ per cent of manufactured pro-
ducts. This eclipses even the record
OF the phenomenal year 1900, when
the proportion of agricultural exports
fell to less than 81 per cent, while
manufactured exports exceeded BIZ
per cent.
For August last our exports of man.
ufactures were 1914. 600, 900 and during
eight months of the calendar year to
S219, 500, 600, in round numbers.
During similar periods of last year
manufactured exports we're respec-
lively S31 500, 900 and $267, 800, 600.
There has been no foreign war de-
mand, such as stimulated intcrna-
tlonal trade to feverish activity two
or three years ago: no deficiencies OF
Old World production to supply; nc
temptation to embark in foreign
mercantile ventures because Of slack
ness in domestic trade. Foreign
markets for products Of American
skill and ingenuity have broadened,
despite the clamOrOus and incesSant
demands Of domestic consumers.
Our export traffic with the Old
World has expanded in volume and
value, even while foreign manufac-
turerS have been drawn upon tC
supplement deficiencies Of domestic
production in important branches of
industry.

The coal strike is at last over with.
and the men will undoubtedly return
to work in the mines during this
week. Were it not for the good offices
of President Roosevelt we doubt very
much if the strike had been settled
as speedily. AS in all things the
president threw himself heartily into
the work Of helping to bring the
strike to an end. and when be sue
ceeded in getting the coal operators
and miners to submit their claims to
a committee OF arbitration the whole
matter was settled. What an i'm
mense loss has come to all classes in
the strike. The miners have suffered
the loss Of an immense sum of money
in wages, which is placed at 1928, $780,
COO: while the operators have lost
S52, 250, 900. The sun total Of the
loss incurred during the strike since
it went into effect early in May is
sl35, 672, 600. Undoubtedly the strike
has brought out great lesson in the
matter of arbitration, and it will
pave the way to the settlement of
strikes in other lines of work when
they occur. There is nc reason for
putting the entire population at such
disadvantage as has been o%ccasioned
by the recent strike. The people
have a right to be supplied with the
commodity when a corporation and
the laDorers have undertaken the
contract to supply them.

T.. 0. GALE.

The papers throughout the state
have been paying some mighty hand
some compliments to Mitchell over
the recent Orr palace that was held
in this city. The Republican would
be pleased to reproduce many Of them
but it is impossible to do justice to
the occasion. It was the desire of
the Mitchell people to give the South
Dakota citizens and the fasteners a
good entertainment and from the
tone Of the state press there is not
the slightest doubt but what he sue
ceeded. OF all the corn palaces that
have been held in the past years there
was none that approached the one Of
1902. This is the verdict given forth
by the people. And all of the attrac-
lions were of a character that gave
great satisfaction to the people. The
Show that was given on Main street
every afternoon and evening was one
OF the best features, for it gave the
crowds something to occupy their at
tention, and made the people feel that
they were not being held up every
minute they were in town.

Students Who Cannot Spell.

From the New York World.
 Of 250 freshmen in Northwestern university 11S must enter the spelling class which that institution maintains. These delinquents missed" twenty or more words each out of 200 in not very difficult written test.
 This is very bad record, but there is no reason to suppose that the cor responding class in any other Ameri- can college would do better. dis trict school' thirty years ago would have withstood such test with far higher percentage of pass rank stu dents.
 Inability to spell does not prove the lack of intellect or even of consider able degree of education. Memory makes a good speller, while keen logi- cal powers without 1t are of little use in avoiding pitfalls. Many an able mathematician is naturally a poor speller. Good linguists, on the other hand, need no training in orthogra- phy
 Yet. despite all differences in na- tive ability to spell, there is no differ ence in the necessity of acquiring the art. It is fundamental, inexorable. Many critics of modern school tactics attribute the prevalence of bad spell ing to the word method" of learning to read. Whatever the cause 1t should be dealt with in the schools.

pei one of Rebeeca, and the native ele- gance of her mind was delighted at the transition from the coarse and licentious manners of her former state to the deli cate and decorous restraints of social life in England. She lived in the midst of re- finements unalloyed by vices at the court of London. Such was the Princess Powhatan when she was visited by Cap tain Smith, whom she had been told was dead. She was, overcome with joy, but mortified at the deception. She said: You promised my father that whatso- ever was yours should be his, and that you and he would be all one. Being a stranger in our country you called Pow hatan father, and I, for the same reason, will now call you so.'' The Lady Re- becca stood forth in all the native beauty and virtue and humanity in her savage state as Pocahontas in the wild and tangled American forests. In aborig- inal garb at the English court she att tracted the admiration of the nobility by her elevated sense of justice and sublime goodness of heart and perfect love for her fellow man. At her best, she ap- peared ashamed of the cold formalities of a court She addressed a feeling and pathetic remonstrance to Captain Smith on the coldness of his manner. Briefly she stated that the rise and progress of their friendship, modestly pointing out her services; concluding with an affect ing picture of her situation in a strange land, at distance from her country and friends. A tiger might have wept. Tt is the last sad office of history to record the fate of this incomparable woman" The severe and rigid biographer plants no cypress over her grave or eonsigns her to the tomb with the stately pomp and graceful tears of poetry Nor does he, with pious sorrow inurn the ashes and
 mmortalize the blazing virtues of the dead with some soul-inspiring eegy- wild and plaintive; her hair loose and her bosom. like the "white-bosomed Agandeccan throbbing with anguish. Burk says: She died at Gravesend, as she was about to embark with husband and son for Virginia. Her death was a happy mixture of Indian fortitude and Christian submission. She died at the age of .2 years. Hume does not mention her. Strange. In the hands of Gibbon or Livy the incident would have enliv- ened the art of the historian. The Greek historians mention these affairs as mer- iting pointed attention. Hume mentions them once when speaking of Drake 8 visit to Roanoke. vol. iv., D. B. and once in his appendix to the reign of James Vol. iv p. 33-both lightly. Captain Smith was saved by Pocahontas in 1907, when she was 12 years old. She married at IS: died at 22.

BRAIN FOOD
Is of Little Benefit Unless It Is pl-
 eested.

Nearly everyone will admit that as nation we eat too much meat and too little of vegetables and the grains For business men, office men and clerks, and in fact everyone engaged in seden- tary or indoor occupations, grains, milk and vegetables are much more health- full.
 Only men engaged in a severe outdoor manual labor can live on a heavy meat diet and continue in health
 As a general rule meat once day is sufficient for all classes of men, women and children. and grains, fruit and vege- tables should constitute the bulk of food eaten.
 But many of the most nutricious foods are difficult of digestion and it is of no use to advise brain worxers to eat largely of grains and vegetables where the digestion is too weak to assimlate them properly.
 It is always best to get the best results from our food that some simple and harmless digestive should be taken after meals to assist the relaxed digestive or gans, and several years experience have proven Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets to be very safe, pleasant and effective di- gestfve and a remedy which may be taken daily with the best results.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets can hardly be called a patent medicine, they do not act on the bowels nor any particular organ, but only on the food eaten. They supply what weak stomaehs lack. pepsin diastase and by stimulating the gastric glands increase the natural secretion of hydrochloric acid.
 People who make a daily practice of taking one or two of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal are sure to have perfect digestion which means perfect health
 There is no danger of forming an injur- ious habit as the tablets contain abso- lutely nothing but natural digestives; cocaine, morphine and similar drugs have no place in stomach medicine and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are certainly the best known and most popular of all stomach remedies.
 Ask your druggists for a fifty cent package of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets and after a weeks use note the im- provement in health, appetite and nerv- ous energy.
