Sioux Falls Bond Issue Is VaIid-May
Build Municipal Waterworks.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Nov THE
application Of the South Dakota Water
company for temporary Injunction
restraining the city of Sioux Falls
from constructing a municipal water
works system has been denied by
Judge Garland. thus giving the city
a pronounced victory in the most i'm
portant feature of the prolonged legal
struggle between the city and the pri-
Vate water company which provides
the people of Sioux Falls with water.
By this decision Judge Garland also
practically decides that the issue of
bonds in the sum of $4,000, which
were voted for the construction of a
municipal Waterworks system, is
valid. The water company, whose
contract with the city terminates next
April has step by step fought the
work of constructing municipal
plant. AS this was the turning point
in the controversy, the city officers
and members of the city council are
greatly elated.

RAINY DAY IN A zoo.

Some Animals Like It. Others Are
 Dsconsolate.
 The effects of rainy day upon the animals of q ZOO" said a keeper in the New York geological park the other day, are as interesting to watch as anything l know in connection with collection of beasts. Each one takes the damp atmosphere in his own par ticular way just as people do, only may say that animals are heap more cheerful about it.
 . Now. take that big timber wolf over there. Why, he just revels in a rainy day and skips about as gay as you please. All the wolves are the same. Rain cheers 'em up.

 Snakes are kept in just q certain temperature all the time and you would think that the damp air would never reach them. Perhaps it doesn't. but l have always noticed that all the reptiles are active and cheerful, if reptile can be cheerful. when il rains
 The deer family. the bears, the va eus sui Is of wild goats, chamois and the like don't seem to mind the rain a bit.

 You'd be surprised" concluded the keeper, how many people brave the rain and snow to go through the zoo. Last Sunday-and you know how il stormed-scores of people were here, and We weren't surprised, as it's an old story to us. I've seen people stand for hours in the rain watching the seals enjoying the downpour. Why do they dO it? Oh, know more about an- imals than l do people. Ask some f the rainy day ones sometime"

HIGHER EDUCATION IN INDIA.

India is covered with great univers- ities and colleges of excellent rank All instruction is in English. But the more ambitious youth must break through caste and actually cross the kalapani, the "black-water." which ancient Hindus were prohibited from venturing upon.
 This one returns an Indo- Gothique, emaneipated from spiritual law and tradition. But there is no place for him either in Hindu or English society He cares no longer to live in the most composite family of his relations; he shakes hands and slaps the back of the old man" whose lotus feet he used to fall and kiss. He thought the higher education would make him a great man-an ''illustrious fellow citi- zen." But the English who received him so warmly in London withdraw their cordiality in India. He has of 1ended his own. and even thoush he may through expensive penances re- turn to his caste, the sacred thread of family and spiritual relation is broken.

STAGE STRUCK GIRLS.
Managers Overwhelmed With Young
 Women Seeking Footlisht Honors.

students of social subjects have long since noticed the growing number of girls who are taking to the stage. AIT classes are joining in the rush. It has gone so far, indeed, that one New York manager announced that in a produc- tion he was about to make he was go- ing to have nobody in the feminine de- partment of the chorus whose ancestry did not run back to the Mayfiower or other early boat.
 Superficial observers hastily conclud- ed that this dash for fame was due to the general attraction of life on the stage. entirely apart from any special purpose. But for all that there seems to be a particular reason for this head long break to be numbered among the fair!es of the footlights. In fact, il IS movement. according to a recent in- Vestigator's conclusions to give a rise to the marriage market
 This satisfactorily minded individual has been calculating the matrimonial chances of girls who are employed in earning their own living.
 In his Judgment no one whc has ever experienced the glamour that sur rounds everything connected with the stage will be surprised to learn that actresses come in an easy first at the head of the list. It admits of easy ex- planation. In the first place. in order to get on the stage. a girl must neces- sarily possess certain attractions, eith- CT of face or figure. voice or manner, and the mere fact that she has found a manager to give her an engagement is to certain extent a proof that she herself is not the only person in the world who has a fairly good opinion | of her personal charms.
 Moreover. when once a girl has se- cured a position on the stage, it stands to reason that her chances of encoun- tering the particular man to whom her | special charms are likely to appeal are much higher than those of girls who | are employed in some humdrun occu- | ration that keeps them shut up all day.
 There is no doubt that success in
 angling for d husband. as in any form | of the piscatOrial art. turns much on ! taking ones rod to waters where the | fish are fairly populous and where the | fishers are not too numerous Girls who are employed in traveling compa nies,
