E DESCRIPTIVE.
Not Many Words Required to Ten
How the Whole Thing
Happened.

Private" John Allen, according to tho
New York Times, is responsible for this
one:
Last year there were a number OF
claims for damages brought against one.
of the railroads in Mississippi by the farm
ers in a certain county of that state
These claims arose out of the fact that
many hogs had been killed by the trains
of the railroads in question. A mixed
commission was formed of railroad men
and others to determine the equity of
these claims. Among Others questioned
by this commission was an old darky who
claimed to have been an eyewitness Of
the, humiliation of one hog.
Said the chairman of the commission to
Zeph:,
Tell us, in as few words as possible.
how this hog was killed"
Old Zeph shifted a huge cud of tobacco
from one cheek to the other, cleared his
throat, and then replied:
We'll, sab" said he, "as nearly as I kin
make it out, it was dis way: De train
footed and den TUX himl"

The long haired young reformers were

they had agreed that the world was just
about as corrupt and bad a place as it well
could be, a grim-faced man arose, relates
London Tit-Bits.

GEN. REYES Calls
At White House
Colombian Special Minister Cordial
ly Received by President
Roosevelt.
GIVEN NO ENCOURAGEMENT TO
HOPE FOR SUCCESS OF MISSION
Germany Formally Recognizes the
New Republic of Pannmn-CoIon,-
bian Minister to the Vatican Fails
to Secure Support for His Coun-
try's Cause,

Washington, Dec. Cen. Rafael
Reyes, the special minister from Colon
bia, practically initiated his mission
when he called upon President Roose-
welt ct the white house Saturday and
told him why he had come to Washing
ton. Gen. Reyes was accompanied to the
white house from the state department
by Secretary Hay, who introduced him
to the president and by DR.. Herran, the
Colombian charge. The presentation
took place in the blue parlor, where all
regular ambassadors and ministers are
received, but the president infused so
much cordially into his greeting that
this occasion was q little out of the Or
binary. There was no exchange Of
formal speeches, though the Colombians
were prepared for them in case of need.
Received with Cordial Informality.
Instead the president greeted Gen.
1Reyes informally as a former %acquaint-
lance, having met him when the general
was visiting the United States some time
ago. Instead of standing to receive his
callers, as is the case in ordinary diplo-
matte presentations, the president him
self sat down and invited Gen. Reyes to
seat beside him. The two then entered
upon an animated conversation which
touched upon some notable exploits in
Gen. Reyes life with which the presi-
dent seemed to be more or less familiar
and gradually drifted around to the sub
ject of Gen. Reyes mission.
Given No Encouragement.
There was no definite proposition adj
vanced by the Colombians, for the pres
ident intimated that the Panama prob
lem was a matter with which the state
department alone could properly deal.
So. the conversation on this point closed
with the understanding that Gen. Reyes,
who now regards his mission as duly
launched, should hereafter make any
representations respecting Panama that
he cared to breach to Secretary Hay.
Nevertheless, there was just enough in
timation in the presidents talk to make
his callers aware that he saw little pros
pect of being able to meet their wishes.
Germany Recognizes
Colon, Dec. THE German consul
here, Herr Heuer, Friday officially adj
vised the government Of Panama that he
had received cabled instruction from
Germany to formally recognize the re-
public of Panama. Consequently the
consul Saturday morning paid IN official
visitsto Project Melendez here and ten
dered him in behalf of Germany con-
< ~gratulations and best wishes for the
welfare and future prosperity of the new
republic.
The project made a suitable reply and
offered the republics sincere thanks for
Germany's recognition.
Colombian Minister Disappointed.
Rome, Dec. 7.-Senor Gutierrez
Ponce, the Colombian minister to the

cardinals, is about to leave Rome with

the support for Colombia which he ex-
pected.

Commission Returns.

Secretary George Farmer of the
South Dakota commission to the
worlds fair, has returned from st.
Louis, where he has spent two weeks
with the other members of the COM
mission, perfecting arrangements for
the construction OF, the state building.
The site is on the crest of a beauti-
fully wooded hill, near the station OF
the intramural railway, and a short
distance from General Grants his
toric log cabin.
The South Dakota building will be
finished in cement. The main hall
will be 2SX4S feet in size, and decora-
ted in corr and grains, also the hall
way from the front leading to the
main hall. Provision has been made
for the installation of twenty-four
panels, to be made from corn and
grains by A. Roahe, the decorator OF
the Mitchell corn palace. Each OF
these panels will represent a town OF
county in the state, and will be Axe
and 6x10 feet in size, according to
the wish of the subscriber, each show
ing a descriptive scene identified with
South Dakota.
Hopes for Lin Revived.
While the projected railroad be
tween Sioux Falls and Madison has
been put to sleep several times by ex-
listing lines of road whose monopoly
of the business would be spoiled by
it, there is now very good ground for
renewed hope that the line will
eventually be built. 1t is known that
the right of way has been obtained,
and the money is ready to begin grad
ing between Cotton and Sioux Falls
the former place being about hall
way between Madison and Sioux
Falls. For the present the aim OF
those who are leading the enterprise
is simply to construct a line to Col
ton, to be rallied and ready for the
rolling stock the coming fall. The
new line will be operated by one OF
the existing Sioux Rails lines, and
no doubt in the course OF time viii
be extended to Madison, just how
soon depending on the spirit of the
| Madison people.
