From every city and hamlet in
the state comes word OF the
preparation for a building boom
unknown in South Dakota for
several years. MECHANICS want
ed" is the word everywhere all
over this state, and the influx
will be large no doubt. There
was q time once in the early days
when Miller had some twenty
carpenters among her citizens
and then there was another time
when Deacon Stout alone did
just about all the carpenter
work in town and Lew Henyan
the mason work. But new men
are dropping in, as usual, when
conditions change, and the CON-
ing season Will give work to sew
eral men in the mechanical trades
both in town and county.

A MARYLAND Wonder.

Upper Cross Roads. Md, June 18th.
Never in the history Of medicine in
this state has anything created such
a sensation by its marvellous cures OF
the most extreme cases as Dodds
Kidney Pills.
This wonderful medicine seems to
know no limit to it's wonder working
power. Long = standing cases that
have defied the most expert medical
treatment seem to yield easily to this
new conqueror of disease.
Hundreds have testified to the yf
tue Of Dodd's Kidney Pills. They tell
OF severe cases of Rheumatism, Lum'
bago, Backache, Female Trouble, Ne'
vous Diseases and even Dropsy, DS'
betes and Bright's Disease cured BY
this medicine.
Among those who have been bene
fitted may be mentioned Mrs. Jona
Cooney of this place.
Mrs. Cooney says:
Il believe Dodd's Kidney Pills te
best remedy ever known for kidne!
Trouble and weak back.
They r without exception ue
best medicine I have ever used.
Il will always praise them hlgnH
for | know that they are good"
Mrs. Cooney is only one Of many
who say of Dodd's Kidney Pills:

You can never tell what figures will

properly handled, but some of them
are capable Of the most b%ewildering
antics. Here is a method by which
ngures may be made to tell secrets in
a way that will astonish those who
are not Informed about how to do the
ngurlng." Ask some person to put
doWn unknown to you a number COM
posed OF three figures (say 1922. Tell
MIN to transpose the figures (making
800 and to subtract the lesser from
the greater. Then ask him to tell you
the first figure Of the result, and YOU
can tell him the entire number. For
instance. your first number In the
present example is 1862, which trans
posed makes 267. Subtract 267 from
762 and you have 495. The only fig
ure that you are told is 4, the first
OF the result. All you have to do Is
to subtract 4 from 8, which will give
you D, the last figure, and the central
ngure Is always 8. So your number
Will be 495. This Is true in all cases
where only three figures are used in
making up a number. The central
figure will always be 9 when the trans
posed number Is subtracted from the
original number, and the two end
ngures when added together will make
>. So, knowing either the first or last
hgure OF the result, you can give the
entire number.

and pity both forgotten, and nothing
but infinite tenderness filing her soul,
she realized the depth of that love,
strong as DEATH" which could for
give, even as Christ forgave, and rest
on the atonement Of the Redeemer
alone. She watched by his pillow while
the long night dragged on, and he still
lay unconscious, motionless, almost
breathless.
She shed no tears, but now and then
she prayed-prayed as perhaps she had
never prayed before. Sometimes she
put her fingers on his pulse to feel if
1t still beat; and SO she waited, waited,
while the doctor came in and out, ex-
pecting every moment that change
which did not come, but which must
come at last.
1t came when the wild night was
waning towards daybreak, with a
quickening of the languid pulse and
the faintest tinge of color to the pallid
cheek. She stopped over him, beliey-
ing, with all a novice's delightful hope,
that these signs were signs OF improve
ment; but the color mounted to a hec-
tic flush, the pulse throbbed faster and
faster, and suddenly he started up and
looked at her with strange wildness in
his eyes.
Il will go! I will go!" he cried. "But
you will believe me?"
She sprang up and threw her arms
about his neck, uttering %incoherent
words of love and passion; but he had
fallen back on his pillow, painfully
flushed now. and his breath came In
hot gasps.
"She will not kiss me! My darling
will not kiss me! Never again!" he
moaned. What was it she said? All
that is over now How can I ever for
get what has broken my hearth"
The words died away in a sobbing
whisper, and the doctor, coming back |
at that moment, found him thus, toss
ing restlessly from side to side, uncon-
scious still, but actively UNCONSCIOUS,
with the frenzy racking his brain.

Special Tool for the Task.
A Colorado woman, Mrs. A. M. Min.
ter OF Petersburg, has made a bid for
a fortune and the gratitude Of the rest
OF her sex by ~inventing a new weapon
Tor the sewing table. She calls it a
seam ripper.
1t is a double edged knife with one
edge jagged to do the ripping. A
nook is attached to the knife and
with this the threads Of ripped seams
can be pulled out by a slight turn of
the wrist.
The ripping Of seams in MAKING
over old clothes is the meanest mart
of such a task. Mrs. Minter saw her
implement makes it easy.
The idea came to her where she was
ripping up some baby clothes. She
mad worked on them in turn with scis.

and none OF these was satisfactory

RICH IN E DRIES.


AAO kNcSicCteu isl
Finds q New Owner.
The lo~ng-neglected Harrison man
sion at North Bend, O.. has been pur-
chased recently by Mrs. o. H. Hall Of
Cincinnati, for the sum of SIS, 900, and
is to be preserved in commemoration
of the illustrious men who have been
sheltered within it's walls. 1t was built
in 1914 by Gen. William Henry Harri-
son, who presented it to his bride.
There he dwelt until he went to the
White House, and where his nine chill
dren and his illustrious grandson,
Benjamin Harrison, were born. At
the time the house was built Harri-
son was governor of the Northwestern
Territoy, and as the conqueror Of Te-
cumseh was a national hero. Those
were exciting days, times of great per-
sonal danger, and no conveniences,
and the Harrison mansion, simple as
1t was, was regarded then as aristo-
cratic and stately. The hospitality OF
it's halls was famous. Not a day pass
ed that it did not afford entertainment
for many guests. 1t Is said that on
occasions no less than sixty guests sat
down together at the long mahogany
tables in the great sun-lit dining hall.
1t is said that the bride was not con-
tent unless her cook served three
kinds Of meat on the festive board at
times when cattle were scarce, when
settlements were hundreds Of miles
apart. But wild duck and the fish in
the rivers were plentiful, and no
group Of strangers or guests ever pass
ed the gate in their days journey who
were not begged to remain and share
the prodigal generosity of their host
and hostess. In those days the estate,
now sadly dwindled to seven acres.
was composed of 600 acres. From
Gen. Harrison the estate passed to his
son, John Scott Harrison, a gentle,
amiable man, with no financial abil-
ity. He lived there until his death in
1878. his property gradually diminish
until at his death he was actu-
ally a dependent. Benjamin Harrison
was born there and it was his home
his marriage, when he move to
indianapolis. For years the old
house has been vacant. The gardens
have been overrun with wild, insolent
weeds, the fields deserted, the great
and halls lonely and dead. Not
even the ghost Of former laughter and
hospitality has echoed for years along
It's spiral staircases. The spider, pitt
ful tenant, has swung his tent ropes
from rafter to rafter. The lofty heads
the old oaks sigh among their lofty
srests at the saddened picture.

WORkMEN FIND A TREASURE.
Quit Their Job and Start for New
York for a Good Time.

Stories OF a rich find of ancient
treasure by six Iaborers are being cir
culated among the American and for
eign workmen employed on the extern
sive improvements to the N. G. r.
Railway in the vicinity OF York Ha-
ven.
About one week ago an American
gang boss set six men to work tearing
down and carting away the ruins of an
old house, which fire had destroyed
about fifteen years ago.
The men had made little progress
upon the work when the six appeared
before the boss and informed him
that they had decided to quit and re-
turn to New York. When asked to ex-
plain their sudden decision, Antonio
Luigi, known on the contractors book
as %, said: 1--WE 10 lika disa job.
Gotta better job"
The laborers then disappeared from
the vicinity. Luigi, who it seems had
not gone farther than Harrisburg,
where he separated from his com
panions, turned up a few hours later
in GOldsboro. He had a roll Of crisp
bank notes of liberal size and spent
money freely in treating his friends.
The foreigners say that Luigi told them
that he and his companions while at
work upon the ruins of the old house
discovered a rusted iron chest which
when broken open was found to con-
tain a large sum of money in ancient
gold and silver coins. To substantiate
his story Luigi, it is said, exhibited a
handful of American and Spanish gold
coins Of early dates. When asked how
much was in the chest he would say
many hundred dollars"
The story goes that the sum found
was in the n~eighborhood Of 5 $500,
says the New York World. Luigi has
disappeared.
