His Friend Godfrey,

The following story, told by the
Washington Post, leads us to wonder
which to condemn first, the boaster or
his critics. 1t concerns a certain man
who has a large collection of auto
graphs.
Indeed, the envy and sometimes the
skepticism of his friends have been ex-
cited by the number of successful au-
thors who have set down familiar and
fattering inscriptions in his books.
Some carpers have even gone so far
as to hint darkly at a similarity Of
handwriting throughout the collection.
He recently purchased a rare edition
Of Chaucer, and one evening when a
party was gathered at the house the
precious book was passed from hand
to hand. The owner lost sight Of it,
but the next morning he found it lying
On his library table.
On the fly leaf was inscribed:
ITO Jack -, from his old friend and
gchoolmate, Geof. Chaucer."

a good many Of the leading edit
nrial writer's ove the country do not
take much stock in the peseimistic
interview given out by J. J.. Hill as
to the future conditions OF the
country. Mr.. Hill depicted a scene
in financial circles that was caclulat-
ed to put a dampner on further pros
perity by conjuring all kinds Of
trouble. Happily there are some
some brighter spirits in the country,
who are not engaged in the merging
Of vast interests, who can look at the
brighter side of things. The plan of
Mr.. Hill in merging the railroad in
terests of the northwest has net been
carried through with the success that
he anticipated and it is very likely
the storm Of opposition by the public
has caused him to become pessimistic
and thus throw out a word of warn
ing. 1t is a decidedly easy matter for
a man in his position to startle the
country with a statement of this
kind, and in the minds Of many it
was given publicity by him for the
reason that he hoped to profit by it
in the near future as a stepping
stone to eventually consolidate the
railroads in which he is directly in
terested. A leading financial paper,
at the same time that Mr.. Hill gave
out his statement, published a leader
which was not at all in sympathy
with the sentiment advanced by Mr..
Hill, in fact took a much more hope.

The Worlds Largest Crab.

How would you like to have a crab
like this squeezing your toe when you
go bathing? The gigantic Japanese
crab, measuring twelve feet, is proba-
bly, the largest crustacean in the world.
The specimen is a type of the spider
crab, which inhabits the waters Of the
group of islands forming the empire
of Japan. The body portion is the size
of q half bushel measure, while it's
two great arms or "feelers'' could cas-
lily encircle the figure of a man. Its
eight arms or legs resemble huge
bamboo poles and are extremely elias
tic, and if strung into one line they
would reach to the top Of a four story
apartment building. One Of the ex-
traordinary peculiarities Of this crab
is the faculty of assuming a disguise
by afixing pieces Of seaweed and
sponges to the body.

wit of Horne Tooke.

1t is said that Horne Tooke, who ex-
celled in that duellike controversy ex-
hibited by two disputants when pitted
against each other with only the
breadth Of u mahogany board between
them, was exceedingly quick and sharp
at retort. When he made his most
deadly thrusts, it was with a smiling
c~ountenance and without seeming ef-
fort or emotion. Replying to a man
who contended that only landowners
should be allowed to vote at elections,
he said, "Pray tell me how many acres
does it take to make a wise. cre?'
When asked by George III. whether he
ever played cards, he replied, II can
not, your majesty, tell a king from a
knave." What can be more uniquely
comic than his saying to his brother:
"You and I, my dear brother, have in
verified the laws of nature. You have
risen in the world by your gravity, and
I have fallen by my levity?'-Saturday
Evening Post.

Professional Envy.

An Italian philosopher has amused
himself by constructing a scale Of de-
grees for the measurement of profess
sional envy. The highest point in this
envy measurer Is ten.
Architects + happily placed lowest
on the scale. They register only 1;
advocates and priests and military
men are ranged at ?, and in the as
cending scale he gives us professors
Of science and literature, 4; journal.
lists, 5; authors, g.; physicians, 8; &C.
tors and actresses, 10. The small
amount of envy among architects Is
held to be due to their precise, severe
and rigid studies. The same thing ap-
plies to advocates.
Among the clergy envy is found
mostly in preachers. In the military
career envy is quiescent in time of
peace, but can become acute in time
Of war. Envy makes men Of science
and literature lead solitary lives, diff.
dent Of each other. Among physicians
envy is still more prevalent, and they
do not spare their colleagues, often
ter1ning them ~charlatans. In the the.
atrical world envy reaches it's acute
form, vanity playing g great part in
its production.

down at Epiphany doesn't propose to
let any OF the stuff get away from
him if he a help it. When the sick

money in running his own hotel-so
he built one. Then he began to buy
his medicines by the barrel and bot
ties blythe car-load-and shut out all
the drug stores in the state from his
profits. The next thing was to con-
troll the stage lines running fromsthe

Brer. L%ongstaff, of the Huronite,
had a little note in his paper the
other day. to the effect that Huron
was not indulging in any railroad talk
with reference to capital matters,
and that the town was not depending
on any connection with the Black
Hills to increase it's popularity. 1t
was only just a few days before he
made that note when John had item
with a scare head speaking Of the
probabilities of the Federal railroad
connecting with the Great Northern
at Huron and then building to Cham
berlain and then to the Black Hills,
and "would be of more value to the
city than any other enterprise yet
talked Of" They all want connec-
ton with the Hills country. John.

WRITING THE M
Friday Is the Minister'S Da, For
Performing This Task,

Performing This Task.
Probably few Of the good people who
listen with rapt attention to the ser.
moa which is preached to them eacb
Sunday, says the Denver Post. know
that for nearly 800 years Friday has
been the time honored day for the pas
tor to go into his study, write the ser
mon which is TO furnish food for
thought to the congregation on the
following Sunday. In speaking of this
custom a clergyman says:
"When Christianity was first promul
gated, all preaching was done extern.
porancously. Such a thing as prepar
ing a sermon was unknown. Many
gifted men expressed their views on
various subjects, hen added a few
words of good advice to their listeners.
This practice is still continued in the
Roman Catholic church of the present
day, and l think that a very limited
number of the priests ever write a seq
mon. Not all ministers, however, ad-
here to this rule by any means. When
Henry Ward Beecher was asked Oh
Will Jay ne prepared Ills N ne
replied, ON Sunday morning, Of
course
"'Well, Mr.. Beecher, don't you think
that is a rather dilatory habit for you
to get intoT asked another.
"Oh, no, not at ALL replied Mr..
Beecher in his quick way. You see, I
look at a sermon like some do on a pam
cake. They can be served hot or cold,
and I like mine hot; that's ALL"

NOrWHY Hotel System

There is a capital hotel system in
vogue in certain parts of Norway. In
villages where no hotel exists one of
the more prominent inhabitants is sub.
sidized by the Norwegian government
and in return is bound to provide &C.
commodation for not less than four
travellers. He may take in four if he
chooses, but four is the minimum. The
accommodation and food supplied are
excellent, and the charges are very
moderate.

The Aberdeen News is planning an
expansion in the way Of building
and extensive printing plant that
will place it in the lead in the
northern part Of the state. The
News is entitled to all. the success
and prosperity that comes to it. We
remember some sixteen years ago
when Startling and Torrey established
the News as a daily paper, and the
energy and enterprise they put into
it. Both were hustlers for business
and many thought they would not
make it a go, but the News has been
holding its own and forging ahead to
an extent that is gratifying to it's
owners and the friends Of the paper

1t is very likely that the law regu-
iatlng the salaries OF several county
officers will be changed at the COM
ing session Of the legislature. The
Salaries OF the county superintendent
OF schools and the county Judge is
fixed by the population of the county.
which is arrived at by the ratio of
the vote cast at a regular election.
Two years ago there was a full vote
out and in a great many counties
n salary Of each officer was in
creased. This year it was different.
The vote was light throughout the
state, and, as a consequence, under
the law, the salaries of these two
individuals will be less during the
next two years, that is if the county
commissioners take any cognizance
OF the law. Over in Minnehaha
county the county Judge has been
drawing a salary Of 81, 800 a year, but
under the recent vote his salary,
under the law would be reduced to
500, yet the actual population of the
county remains the same, and that
official would have just as much
business to transact under one year
as the other. The salaries OF the
positions ought to be regulated at
such a sum where a man could
afford to give his time and attention
to his duties. 1t is practically the
same with the positions of sheriff
and register of deeds. In some
counties the fees Of these two officers
are sufficiently large as to make a
good and sucf1iient salary, but in
many, when business drops Off.
there is not much recompense for
either officer.
