PROSPERITY IN NORTHWEST.

Mitchell, South Dakota, Sept. 30
The South Dakota idea this year is to
emphasize the riches OF this state.
When it is confidently stated that this
year for the sixth consecutive year
South Dakota will lead all other states
in the greatest per capita wealth, It
can readily be understood why South
Dakota is ambitious to advertise us
crops and resources.
The report OF fortnight ago regard
ing the heavy fall of snow and dam
age done to the crops by frost, now
appears to have been false alarm.
This is the judgment OF party OF
newspaper men and representatives or
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul Ry-
who have made a trip of more than
200 miles through the state during
the last ten days. The greatest esti-
mate of damage that is now made by
those in a position to know is, three
per cent damage to corn crop or the
state. In the rich agricultural section.
in the valley of the Missouri River,
crops appear to splendid advantage.
Occasionally one finds fields where
there has been perhaps too much wa
ter and the crops are somewhat late,
but this is the exception.
The following is a conservative esti-
mate Of the products OF the state and
their value for 1903:

How Is This?

Mistakes may be due to coaXing a
person to promise or try to do some
thing not possible for him tC accom-
plish. Weak people are easy promis-
ers and sonic people can coax the
birds out of the bushes; so every
time your heart beats some one has
promised to do an impossibility. and
thus the list of blunders and breaks
grows.
1t may be due to bad example. Can
an employer who is careless have
employees who are careful? Can a
poor worker keep good workers under
aim any length of time? If as l re-
GENTLY read thirteen in every hundred
think let them think on the last ques-
lions.

THE MOST USEFUL HAT
Square Crowns Again Coming In--Are

The square crown is coming in. and,
while the fiat hat will be worn, the

The most useful of all hats is the

large :lat brim slightly inclined to uD-
curl. This hat. if in black felt. or in
black CHIP, can be trimmed with Il
black velvet band. with a smart little
bow at one side. For evening a few
white feathers can be placed under the
band of velvet. or a bunch of pink ros-
es may be banked upon the side of the
hat. y hat of this kind is veritable
treasure, for it can be made-to do duty
for many occasions. with very little
work and very little money.

One of the newest hats to be seen is

The crown Of the hat is covered with
a big bag of velvet with a handsome
ornament in the middle. At one side
there are two very long white ostrich
feathers With the quilts stuck through
the velvet. TIE feathers fan off the
side of the hat and curl over the ear.
The combination of black and white
makes a very fetching hat for winter

COLOR OF THE FINGER NAILS
Remedy for Dry, Ragged Oneo-Val
liable Suggestions.

The color of the nails is a matter to
be carefully considered. Nine women
out of ten have nails that are disGgur-
ed by long white marks which utterly
spoil the beauty of the hands.
The nails should be the color of =
rose leaf and as clear as a sea shell.
Mother of pearl, if it were little roster.
would about describe the texture Of
the ideal nail.
To keep away the white spots is an
easy matter. They are caused by
pressure upon the base of the nail. If
a metal instrument is used, or if there
is any thing rough applied to the base
of the nail. the result will be a white
mark across it.
a great many manicures do not know
this. and the result is very apparent
upon the nails in the shape OF the great
long white streaks, which makes the
nails look very much out of sorts, for
these markes are a sign of illness of
the nails. These nails are out OF con-
dition or the marks would not be there.
Instead OF employing a hard sub
stance to press back the skin at the
base OF the nail it is better to soak the
finger tips in hot water and to press
back the cuticle with a towel. This
vii keep the nails long and almond
shaped, and will not disfgure them in
the least.
Those who are troubled with a dry
and ragged outside can soak the finger
tips every day in olive oil. This will
soften the cuticle and keep the nails
from breaking.
A very good emollient for the nails
is made by taking equal parts of NUT
ton tallow, olive oil and oil of sweet
almonds. These when melted together
will make a very nice cream, which
should be beaten together with an egg
beaten as it cools, and kept in a jar
in which the fingers can be imersed.
1t can be scented with q few drops Of
geranium.
The beauty Of the nails depends up
on the shape, color and their length.
The longer the better is the rule, but
long nails are likely to break.
Nails can be cut in'one of three ways.
There is the pointed nail which is the
prettiest of all, but must be kept eX-
act and. unless one can do this it is
better to cut the nail rounded.
The rounded nail is the nail of the
bushes woman, and it is a pretty Eail
