SO plate glass was used and in this par
ticular the contract was changed.
We cannot in this article begin to
describe the beautiful appearance of the
building and its architecture. We had
hoped to have a picture to present in
this article, but owing to the fact that
the old court house stands directly iii
front Of the main entrance it is Tot pos
sible tosget a picture suitable for q cut
until the old structure is removed, and
this cannot be done until some time il
the coming spring.
The basement and trimmings of the
new building are of Portage Entry
sandstone and are of a reddish color.
The facings are of Kettle River sand
stone and are of cream color.
The orn stone is of 0rtoryille
granite andis inscribed June 20. 1903"
At the main entrance are a pair of the
most beautiful quarter-sawed oak doors
we have ever seen. AT inside entrance
of the main entrance Mr.. Cross found
that the plans called for plaster above
the doorway which, had it been used,
would have darkened the hall, and with
very good judgment and no additional
expense to the county he bat in a hand
some plate glass entrance.
The contract called for slate stairs,
but il would bave caused considerable
delay TO have waited for these. Here
again the contractor showed that he
was building a building that should be
worthy of his company and be done OF
time, and at more than twice the
expense to himself he substituted Italian
marble for the slate stairs making a
much more beautiful effect.
In the main hall in the handsome tile
floor in colored letters are the words,
DAY County Court House" They are
very pretty.
The baseboards that follow the stairs
around and all through the entire build
ing and main halls are of polished mar
BILE and combined with the antique oak
wood work gives a very handsome
appearance.
The Office doors are all finished with
bevelled plate glass with the name of
the officer ground in the glass.
The vault doors were all purchased
from the Cary Safe Company and have
solid steel jams.
We We're through the court house
with a gentleman from Brown county,
and he remarked: "This building is
[, the greatest advertisement that a ma
can have and all that the Gross Con-
struction Company needs to get the
future business Of this kind in South
Dakota. There are many counties that
have already commenced to agitate for
new buildings. Do you know that the
Brown county court house cost practi-
cally $40 eco more than your building,
and it does not compare with this build
ing in any Of the parts? Day county
people were indeed very fortunate in
their contractors"

At the election one year ago the citi-
zens and taxpayers of this county voted
800, 900 in bonds for the construction of
a new court house, the old building
being deemed unsafe for the ever
increasing number of public documents
and records.
Seine delay was had after the bonds
were voted, the former board of county
commissiolers-which had been almost
entirely changed by the election of new
members-desirin hat the new beard
should have the entire control of the
work, most of which must come under
their supervision.
At the first meeting of the present
board of commissioners, III January of
OF this year, bids for the sale OF the
bonds were advertised for and at a sub
sequent meeting they were sold.
In the competition for plans for the
new building Kinney 81 Detweiller, the
st. Paul architects. presented those
most satisfactory to the commissioners
and the one on which the building was
constructed.
At the meeting of the board in Apr!
there were several bidders on the con-
tract for the building and competition
was rife. When the bids were opened
the commissioners found that The
Gross Construction Company, of La
Crosse, Wis, had secured the contract,
having the lowest bid of $56. 300. When
the contract was let some Of the COM
petitive bidders made the statement
that the building could not be built
according to the plans and specifications
for that amount. OF course this was
taken as ..hot air" for the most part.
On April 10TH, y. A. Gross, president
of the Gross Construction Company,
arrived in tins city and took personal
supervision Of the work. All during
the time of its building he he's watched
every feature. OF him we want to say
right at this time that "a more courteous
gentleman we have never met. We
have, we presume, bothered him with
many questions regarding the building
and never received a hasty answer. He
was here to fulfill his contract and to
see that it was lived up to to the very
letter, and it is due to him to say that
those who have had charge of the con
struction for the county are unanimous
in the opinion that he has lived up to
the letter of contract and that the
county has a much better building than
the contract called for.
Mr.. Gross promised the commission
ers in the beginning that the building
would be finished by December 10Th, nj
will be seen by a notice in another col
umn q meeting Of the commissioner
has been called for December LIST t.
make final settlement with the con
tractor.
After work on the building was com
menced Nh. Gross informed the com
missioners that if they put in plate
glass throughout the building they
would find ii much cheaper in the end,

and the Gross Construction Company
are each and all entitled to the highest

HOME LIFE IN THE

If one enters Into the familiar home lives of a people there he finds the keynote to their natures. Much has been said about the natives of the Philippine Islands-much that Is true and very much that is untrue
 The Filipinos are not all alike, any more than are the Americans. The people of Ma nila are largely what is called the mestizos, which signifies mixed cross blood of Eng fish, German, Chinese. Japanese or other nationalities. Maniln is large city, with many foreign consuls residing there. Mag nlhcent buildings, filled with rare old furni- ture and surrounded with tropical trees. plants and flowers, are plentiful and volumes could be written on Manila alone. Many of the women of Manila are refined. cultured and beautiful, possessing all of the grace and dignity of women who have been received at foreign courts all of their lives and wear ing jewels fit for queen. Of these women strangers but little. The grated win dows, barred doors. latticed carriages of the city but emphasize their exciusiveness, anc

 One must respect the silence ofrefinement, and to even intrude by n glance would amount to rudeness. Governor and Mrs. Taft succeeded in establishing a social ex- change of courtesies with many of the old established families, and some of them sometimes appeared at the receptions given by the commanding general of the United States Army in the Philippine Islands, but their social customs are not the same as ours and they retain their native reserve on all occasions. Of course, there are different kinds of these people, even In Manila as there are in Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, New York. Washington and other cities in the United States. In the provinces there are many admirable citizens, cultivated and refined, but for the reasons that exist all over the world the better families in rural life are not so difficult to approach Many of them are closely related to the best fami- lies of Manila.

means of outline-art in the choice of forms which can be expressed by such lines. It is not uncharitabie to surmise that the reason why such work the Persians used so long ago Is not as popular among the needlewom- en of today is because of the demands it makes upon the designers draughtsmanship. At the time thk graceful design was origi- hated all such work was universal. There Is a pronounced and early limit to art of this rather naive Kind. but that there Is art in some of the very simplest and most modern peasant work of the period of this design built upon these lines of beautiful scrolls no one will deny The fiorets in these graceful scrolls are in shades of old china blue, from the paiest gray blue to the deepest indigoes, and the finely outlined trellis Is of the darkest as we'll as the buttonholed edge.
