Recovered Her Ring.

Miss Rilla McEln,n,ry g ye..ng de-
butante of Bookings, has recovered in
a peculiar and unexpected manner a
valuable diamond ring which was stol-
en- from her about a year ago by tramps,
who burglarized the McElmurry home.
The thieves were never appreLended,
and the youny oma had long since
given up ali hope OF recovering
her ring.
A few days ago, while walking along
the street, she was stopped by D friend,
Miss Bee Bonesteel, who introduced
her to Miss Crowell. deputy postmist-
ress at DeSlnet, who was the guest of
Miss Bonesteel.
While conversing, Miss McElmurry
noticed that Miss Crowell was wear
ing a ring which pore a striking resem-
blance to the onethe tramps had stolen
from her. She mentioned the matter,
and an examination of the ring proved
1T to be the identical one.
Miss Crcwell purchased the ring from
a tramp, who went into the p~ostoffice
at DeSmct on the day following the
robbery of the McElmurry home at
Bookings, and offered to sell the ring
to her for a trivial sum. The offer was
accepted.
Miss McEllnurry is again wearing
the ring, having reimbursed Miss Gro
well for the sum she advanced for it.

have returned home and are are en-
thusiastic over that section of the state
for it's scenic beauties. They are in
favor of a movement to secure the set
ting aside of three or four townships
in the heart of the Bad Lands as a ma
tional park, and announce their belief
that with government supervision and
the construction of roads to reach the
best parts of such a park it would be
visited by thousands ever year.
The people of South Dakota gener-
ally have but little conception of what
a wonderland is located in the south
western part of the state, and if they
did hundreds would visit the section
just as it is. regardless of the trouble
in travelling owe that section.

the plans for the building, have COM
pleted the work, and in a few days the
members of the board will depart for
st. Louis to award the contract for the

The structure will be two stories in
height and will occupy a ground space
44x6s feet. There will be two porches
ten feet wide and thirty feet long, ono
at the main entrance to the building
and the other at one side. There will
be no outside decorations. The struct-
ure will frame and will be finished
with Yankton cement and a tile roof.
From the main hall the visitor will
go into a large hall, 26x44 feet in size,

much attention as any at the exposi-
ton.

NEGRO DOMINATION"

The Republicans of Maryland
are to be congratulated on the
promptness with yhich they have
accepted the Democratic challenge
about Negro domination"
There is, of course, not the slight
est reason for raising such an is
sue in that state. The whites out
number the blacks, as the statistics
show, four or five to one, and have
always shaped the states affairs.
But the race cry is supposed to
have more or less potency in all of
the old slave territory, and it is
invariably uttered whenever a bit
of campaign material is badly
needed.
If those who insist that the race
issue cannot be solved care to be
convinced of their error let them
look at Maryland. There. as else

Some Literary Blunders.

Rodney Blake, in The Reader for Septem.
Der.
Miss Cooper. daughter of the American
novelist, states that when in Paris she saw
French translation of her fathers tale
THE Spy in which were several mis-
takes; but one Of them was such that it
was almost incredible that any one could
possibly have been guilty of 1t. The resi-
dence of Mr.. Wharton, one of the charac-
tiers, who figure in the story, is spoken Of by
the author 1.-THE Locusts." Now, the
translator had been evidently ignorant of
the circumstances of their being any species
of trees bearing this name. Having, there
fore, looked up the word in his dictionary,
and finding the definition to be given as
lies sauterelles" - grasshoppers thus he
rendered 1t in the text. Presently. however.
he came across a paragraph in the novel i'm
which IL was stated that a visitor to the
house of Mr.. Wharton had tied his horse to
locust. Then it might be naturally sup
posed that the translator would at once
have discovered his error. Not bit of it.
His reasoning would appear to be on
parity with that of celebrated country
man of his when he declared that "if the
facts do not agree with the theory so much
the worse for the facts" Nevertheless, the
writer seems to have been conscious that
some explanation was necessary for so ex-
traordinary a statement that a horsemen
had secured his steed to grasshOpper. Con-
sequently. he proceeded gravely to inform
his readers that in America these insects
grow to an enormous size; and that in this
case, one of these-dead and stuffed, Of
course-had been stationed at the door of
the mansion for the convenience of visitors
on horseback ~
In comparison with this stupendous blum
der, the following mistake of another
nchlitterateur, who translated sentence
in one of Sir Walter SCOTS novels, becomes
quite venial one. Meeting statement in
the text that some of the characters who
figure in the tale had ''Welsh rabbit for
supper. the translator, not aware that the
term was applied to toasted cheese, rendered
the phrase as "un lapin du pays de Gales
Ia rabbit of Wales" Not content with
this, he inserted a footnote informing the
reader that the rabbits of Wales were of
such superior flavor that they were i'm great
demand in Scotland, the scene of the story,
and that, consequently, they were forward
ed to that country in considerable numbers
No authority was given for the assertion
and it 10 rather evident that the idea of the
writer must have been evolved from his in
ner consciousness.

This is the season of the year when
writer's. as we'll as readers, are scattered by
food and fall and sea in search of rest and
health. There is, however, this difference
between the. writer and the reader-that.
whereas the latter is, as rule, able to take
his holiday "clear CUT and definite. the
man of letters never wholly associates him
self from his work. He carries il on noun

with it by moonlight and it moves with him

age man who is confined TO office hours is
apt to complain of the writer or the painter
that he can make his own time. That is
true. but, on the other hand, he can never
put up his shutters and walk away from his
shop In a manner his office hours are con-
tinuous and eternal.
The author can live very much where he
wills, which Is another grievance of his
friends. And of late years he has taken to
the country. There was once a time when
literary life was possible only in London.
or Tin later days. the salons of the great.
There is no literary society nowadays in the

to others it is merely the mart in which
wares are sold, generally by a literary
agent. At casual glance how few of our

toward the periphery. This means authors
work better in the country, merely that
they have taste for rural life. Some con-

as the passenger on a steamer who cannot
sleep unless the screw is going, or of the

would be interesting to learn the causes of
this desertion of London.
