GET RID OF LUMBER.
Writer in Good Housekeeping Gives
Valuable Advice.


Give away what you don't really
need in your house. Don't let such
things accumulate. They will soon
ill attic and cellar, and overflow into
other rooms, where they do no one
any good. You are not likely to
want them again, and it is nuisance
to have them around. Long ago we
should have been obliged to get a
bigger house for our growing family
if. 1 had followed my husbands thrifty
plan of saving things, says writer
in September Good Housekeeping.
AT first he thought 1 was extrava-
giant, but now he acknowledges that
if other families would likewise rid
themselves of truck" they are not
likely to use again in a thousand
years, house cleaning would be rob
bed of half it's terrors. Thrift is a
homely virtue that easily degenerates
into miserliness. Some of us hoard
old clothes, unused furniture, discard
ed bric-a-brac, and the like, simply be-
cause that habit has become so fixed
we are too stingy to give such things
away to worthy folks who need them.
Yet we don't mean to be stingy, and
are ashamed to discover that we are

Worlds Fair Preparations.

The work of erecting buildings for
the Worlds Fair at St Louis in 1904
goes steadily on. A force of carpen-
ters almost as great as were employed
at Chicago during the year previous to
the fair of 1898 is employed and more
men could get employment if they
were to make application.
Forest park, which is the site of the
exposition, has been transformed into
a huge city. Most of the immense
oaks that made that part of st. Louis
one of the beautiful spots of the West
have been cut down to make room for
the big buildings.

FALL RIVER HOLDS RECORD.
Has Greatest Proportion of Foreign
Born in the Country.

Born in the Country.
In the city of New York there are
only 1877 AT white persons born Of ma
tive parents, or but 21.4 per cent Of
the population of the city. This state
ment means that out of every 100 per-
sons living within the municipal boun-
daries OF New York Is are either for
eigners or the children of foreign-born
parents, or colored people.
New York, however, is not the first,
put the second city of the country hav-
in the largest foreign-born popula-
ton. Fall River is first in that re-
spect.
Official figures show that there are
in New York city more males under
81 years of Slavonic parentage than
of any other people, and the number
of Slavonic men more than 21 years of
age exceeds that of any other ma
tionality except Germans and Irish.-

Charging Women Less Than Men.

At the old-fashioned inns and restau
rants in Sweden it is customary to
charge less for women than for men or
the theory that they do not eat so
much At some hotels in Sweden a
man and wife are charged as one and
one-half persons if they occupy the
same room. A husband and wife may
travel as one and one-half persons by

HER TATTooED BUSHES.
Remarkable Work of Art on a Woman's
Face


Pearson's Magazine: One of the most
daring feats in tattooing ever attempted
in the history of the world, viz, an at
tempt to produce on the cheeks of woman
an all-the-year-round delicate pink COM
pleXion, was suggested to Sutherland Mac
donald by an American. A lady, tired or
constantly rOuging her cheeks, applied to
him for a remedy, and limited that this
might be found in the needles of the tat
tooist.
It is typical of the man that instead Of
experimenting on others he should have
Immediately become his own victim, and
a decidedly homogeneous little patch of the
palest Pink can be seen on his right cheek,
just below the eye, to this day, q patch
which gives him quite an hectic pa
thetic invalid appearance, when seen in
profile. For some little time he expert
mented through all shades Of vermillion
and carmine before he hit on the exact
tint he wanted.
One can well imagine the immense skill
required for so delicate an operation, as
a single mark either in the wrong spot or
put too heavily into the skin would have
meant Disagreement to the lady for life;
but the experiment was an altogether
successful one, and the fair American left
his studi bearing the freshest and dainti-
est Of compilations, one warranted not to
"ASl oli, flllu OAlC NllcN "CNlh AODN AANA ~
the end Of her days.
The news of this great discovery must
have spread rapidly, for 1t is an open Sc
crct that the artist has since then treated
at his studio many society ladies who are
anxious for compilations that will endure.
And Sutherland Macdonald is not only
an artist and a daring eXperimenter, but
a skilled inventor as well, for, wearying
Of the old and cumbersome process OF a
tattooing with a bundle Of needles fast
ened to n light handle, he has nvented an
ingenious electrical tattooing apparatus,
with which he produces really startling
effects, his portraits being as lifelike as a
photograph, his designs bold and clear in
outline, and his shading soft or heavy as
he requires 1t. In these respects MS work
stands out far and above that Of every
other tattooist past or present, He lays
great stress on the 'ist," and he classes
the "er'' with the plumber and brickiayer,
while the work of the tattooist, he claims,
should rank with the professions, es Il
may well do when carried to such "a pitch
Of perfection as it is in his hands.
Most people nave an idea that tattooinG
Is very painful during the operation, and
also in the after effect, an idea that is
quite erroneous, for the slight pricking of
the needle in Mr.. Macdonald's process and
the little irritation that continues for a
few hours are of no account; even the
most delicate ladies make no complaint.

Ind other states at the last election,
he socialist party is beginning prelim-
mary work for an organization in Lin
coln county. Tha party has never had
IN organization here before because
here were so few sympathizers with
The spirit of the movement.
Two years ago there were only three
uOcialist votes in the entire county. AT
the last election there were four times

commenced for the great presidential
contest of 1904.
The idea Of forming a county organ

ters of the national socialist party who
will encourage the movement finan-
Cially and otherwise. 1t is believed by
the followers Of socialism in this coun-
ty h a enough converts a be made
In the different towns and townships
throughout this county to make a
strong showing by the next election
and with the aid of prohibition party
votes and some help from dissenting
republicans may make it possible to

The want of a newspaper as one OF
the elements necessary in carrying on
q political campaign has been keenly
felt by the Independent movement this
year, and to provide for this necessity
in the future 1t is planned to start a
new weekly newspaper to be ostensibly
Independent in politics but to be pro-
NOTED, patrOniZed and encouraged not
only by the hackers of socialism, but
also by the other elements of OPPOSE
ton to republicanism.
The new paper, it is understood, will
be edited by the Hon. Jacob Olson, q
candidate for the legislature on the
prohibition ticket in the last campaign.
Mr.. Olson will be quite q novelty in
the ranks of South Dakota journalism,
If present plans are carried out, from
the fact that he is a blind man. How
ever, he is q successful operator on the
typewriter and has considerable ability
as q writer. OF course the followers
Of r"epubliCanism look upon this pro-
gram with ridicule; but 1t is generally
admitted by thoughtful men that IL
the proposed plans are carried out the
republican ticket, with the contention
now existing in the ranks Of that party
in this county, Will be by no means Sc,

is remembered that q change of less
than ninety votes this year would have
defeated two Of the leading candidates
IN the republican ticket.

something in my face, apologized for
herself as a nurse, saying that my real

She laughed again.
"'T was but to save a young chit's
life" said she. "Of course we cared
naught for you"
You are good and kind, lear lady,
beyond comprehension" 1 answered,
and she gave me her hand frankly.
And your little daughters brought me
back to the world in a way L shall new
er forget"
"They are nearly as bad as Debby,"
said she, with the pleasure showing in
her face that always came there when
she spoke of her children. I'VE could
do naught with Debby. Day by day she
sat here by you and watched and list
ened to your dreadful rawlings, and
heard you crying out at her cousin, and
then calling on her name, telling her in

though she seemed still startled at the
