1t was dinner time when Jumbo Sam
rode up to the Hat Six ranch. Hospi-
tality is the first law of the cattle
country, and Jumbo Sam, who had
eaten breakfast seven hours before,
was in no mood to transgress it. His
saddle creaked as it was relieved OF
his 200 pounds, and the jadel COW
pony shook himself with satisfaction.

Jumbo Sam was bear hunter by
occupation, and the smile was not
lost on him. He made hasty pre-
tense Of scrubbing his bearded face
in the water trough at the side Of the
kitchen, and followed Thompson into
the dining room.

cred, swept the table with sidelong
glances and helped himself literally
to beefsteak, biscuits and potatoes as
the food was passed to him. AS he
had reputation for conversation OF
that personal variety known as bragg
gadocio, his silence was noticeable
His close attention to the business in
hand, however, seemed to remove any
mysterious cause for this lack OF To-
quacity. Not once did he refuse to
help himself to the contents OF the
meat platter or pap of biscuits. Had
it not been for his peculiar manner
during the meal his reticence might
have been passed by without com.

to Peg Simmons. The strange twist
Of his thick neck suggested rheuma-

any i'll, in fact, which could be con-
tracted by man who sometimes
tracked a grizzly in fresh snow for
two or three days with stopping until
he found his game.
Peg Simmons on the other aand

blue eyes rested almost constantly on

members by H. c.. Preston and H.
r. Kibbee, representing the Com

alton Of $3.50 for the purpose. The

After the exhibit is shown at Yank-
ton it is to be returned to Mitchell

The commissioners did a very wise
thing in making this appropriation
and it is no more than right tina

HIS ELBOW SHOT AWAY
Clarence Pine the Victim of a Hunt.
ing Accident Near Mt. Vernon
Tuesday.

Clarence Pine, residing southwest
OF Mt. Vernon, in Lisbon township,
will remember the opening Of the
hunting seaso of 1908 as long as he
lives. With a party Mr.. Pine went
out to hunt the festive prairie chick
en- and as they drew up for the night
all the men got out Of the buggy and
Clarence took hold of the muzzle of
the gun to emove it from the vehi-
Gle. In pulling it out the hammer
caught on the side of the buggy,
which caused it to be discharged.
The shot entered his right elbow
and tore away the flesh and injured
the bone. making a frlghtfnl wound.
DR.. I. B. Smiley was called to at
tend the case and he summoned DR..
W. E. Crane, OF this city, to assist.
DIR. Crane drove out to Mt. Vernon
about 8 O'Clock Tuesday evening. 1t
was necessary to cut away the entire
elbow and bring the two homes tc-
gether. thus giving them a chance to
knit in that fashion, giving Mr.. Pine
a stiff arm but the use Of his hand
in an awkward position. DR.. Crane
was not positive that the bones would
knit in this position and he thought
there was a possibility of having to
remove the arm eventually. Horace
Shepherd, another member Of the
party, was standing in the range Of
the gun when 1T was discharged and
he received eighteen Or twenty shot
IN his breast and stomach at a dis
lance of % feet. One of the shot
struck bis breast bone and 1attened
out. but most of the shot was re-
moved from his person.
The accident resulted from the
careless handling Of the gun, and it
would seem that a person would not
attempt to remove a gun from a
buggy in that fashion when 1T is
loaded.

of tone unusual in this country and
due to difference in Instrumentation.
The tOnal climaXes are inspiring in
their intensity, yet at no time are
they extensively loud or blatant. Mel
lowness is characteristic Of the tone
of every instrument. The eleven So

wide variety OF musical numbers.
The programmes contain plenty OF
music that is familiar, but much
that is new, and all are interpreted
with the spirit and enthusiasm Of
musicians who bring talent to the aic

The Tools of the ESyptians.


The ancient Egyptians had tools for
stone working equal to anything in use
today. They used both solid and tubu-

probably corundum, and even lathe
tools had such cutting edges. So re-

the workmen hat the cutting marks
