''The Price" Still staesers J. b.

The WEAKNESS that always follows q
great war is stealing over England.
The burden Of empire is making itself
felt. A profound distrust of the ca
pacity of their rulers agitates the
masses. Consols, which a few years
ago stood at 115, are now at 81 and
in all probability will fall still lower
before long. One-sixteenth of every
mans income is claimed by the income
tax. And all the time this appalling
increase of expenditure continues the
strain grows yearly greater and the de-.
mands on the eXchequer multiply with
each fresh session Of parliament.
Where will it all end? The country
asks the question with feverish anx-
iety, but without receiving any very
satisfactory response. 1t is haunted
by specters-of an immensely widened
basis of taxation, OF sheer inability to
stand the pace, of socialism and much
else.-Harper's Weekly.

Saving.

More than 500 persons competed for
the prizes offered by a Chicago compa-
ny for the best thoughts on the subject
Of saving. The man who received the
first prize wrote: Saving produces a
peace of mind unknown to him who in
time of misfortune must depend on the
bounty Of his friends. Determine to
save, for will power is the prime essen
tal. Deposit regularly. Lay aside
some portion Of each weeks or months
income. Deposit extra and unexpect-
ed receipts" 1t is a short but sound
and comprehensive sermon on thrift
and enlists in a good cause two forces
that sometimes fight on opposite sides
will power and habit.

RebukfnR an Or8auist,

An organist had for some time been
trying to extract a compliment from
divine Of Franklin, Mass. The old doc.
tor possessed a cunning wit, used spar.
tngly, however.
1.-THE organ is not as powerful as ii
looks" said the organist after one of
the services. "Some of the pipes are
false, placed there only for effect"
"Ah,' exclaimed the doctor, his fea-
lures Frightening, there are times
when ever a clergyman may prefer the
false to the real"

Great Change In Tanning.

The new processes used in tanning

GREETING TO METHOOlSTS

1t is a pleasure to the people Of
Mitchell to entertain the Methodists
of the state in their homes this week
and a most hearty welcome is ex-
tended them. The gathering Of this
great religious body in this the first
educational convention means much
to the institution which they are fos-
tering with protecting care and a
great love. They are making sacri-
fees in their homes and daily lives
that it might be advanced to work
out a great good among the young
people Of the state. With such a
grand purpose in view Mitchell is glad
indeed to open her homes to the pre-
siding elders, we preachers and the Wis
itnrs who have taken Of their time to
come to Mitchell at a busy season Of
the year. Dakota University has
grown to the limit Of her abiding
place, that is the building is made
uuate to accommodate all the young
people who desire to enter her gates
of learning, and provision must be
made for the rest. The New Century
Memorial Hall is being erected, and
it must be finished this year. Thus
it is with the idea Of helping and en-.
c%ouraging the building committee in
their grand work the Methodists
have come to the home Of the college
to talk matters over in an education
al light and to prepare for the future
of the institution. There is no gain
saying the fact that when the Meth
OdiSt church starts out on a project
of this character there is no let up
until it has been accomplished. To
Bishop McCabe, DR.. Mcdowell and
all other delegates The Republican
extends a most hearty welcome, and
we trust that from the convention
will come the greatest good to the
college on the hill.
