excessive by the n%ortherners. The
Dakotas and Montana do not need
as many cattle this year as last, and
the probabilities are that purchases
will be small.
Mrs. N. A. Douglass sold the star
brand Of cattle to George Jackson at
$50 a round, says the Fort Pierre
Journal. They are a nice bunch of
cattle, but they are scattered over
the range. George is one of the
best cowmen on the ran g9 and will
soon have them on the mule shoe
range.
Reports from the Cheyenne river
country are f%attering indeed, cattle
reported in prime condition, in fact
just as fat a. when they went into

there has been no snow on the
ground anywhere along the Chey.

nal.
The Fort Pierre Journal says that
Bad River cattlemen have been
working like beavers the past month
getting the strong cattle out on
good feed and taking up the weak
ones. The reports are the most en-
couraging, everybody has plenty Of
hay and by a little effort cattle will
come out Of the winter in good Goa
dition.
Rev. Gunderson Of the Baptist
church and his congregation enjoyed
a fire Sunday evening. AS a usual
thing fires are not welcome visitors,
but in this instance each and every
one was more than pleased, as the
material destroyed was a note for
the funds used to make the exten-
sive improvements at this church
during the fall. A debt of some
thing like $500 thus incurred has
been paid and everybody concerned
is happy. -Lead Daily Call.
Chamberlain people who believe
in mind reading ought to be encou1-
aged now that we will have a new
railroad to the Black Hills. Last
week a Miss Fay at Sioux Falls,
connected with a theatrical com
pany, was answering questions that
were written down by people in the
audience who put the written uues-
tions in their own pockets without
Miss Fay getting sight Of them.
Among the many residents of the
city, W. A. Stanley, secretary Of
the railroad commission, one of
those in the audience, wrote this
question; aWhen will a railroad be
built across the state to the Black
Hills, and what company will first
build?" Mr.. Stanley had never
met Miss Fay and no person in the
audience saw what his written ques-
mon was, but Miss Fay quoted Mr..
Stanley's question and then gave
the following answer: The Mil.
waukee railroad will build first and
the work will begin the present
year.-Chamberlain Journal.

The infusion of new blood into
the business affairs of Vinita has
had, and will continue TO have, a
wholesome effect, In growing
business center like Vinita it is
we'll to have new brains, new
money and new energy infused,
and the more the better. We ex-
pect to have many thousand more
people within the next few years,
and our policy toward ew-comera
will have much to do with the
growth and success Of the town.
Nature has done about all for us
that she has ever done for any one
place or for any one locality. The
right sort Of effort will build city

DECIDEDLY ECCENTRIC.
A Diner Who Always wanted to ST.
Next to . Left-Handed
Man.

The head waiter looked as if he
would like to hide under the table or
some other place where the stout man
couldn't find him, but it was too late.
The stout man had already seen him
and had made dive for him, relates
the New York Times.
"Well, sir" he said, "you know
what | want. Can you fix me up to-
day?"
The waiter said he could not. 'None
of that class has come in yet" he said.
The stout man sat down by the
cashiers desk.
"Well," he said, "I'll wait awhile.
If anybody comes in. let me know"
"All right" said the waiter, an re-
member. That fellow" he added, in
an explanatory tone to wondering
customer, sis the queerest sort l ever
came across. He always wants to sit
next to a left-handed man. OF course,
table all to himself is preferable, but
If he must have neighbor he insists
upon one who is left-handed. His rea-
son for seeking this peculiar COM
panionship is beyond me. but It must
be a good one, at least in his own
mind, because he will be satisfied with
no other arrangement. Unfortunate
ly, there don't happen to be many Of
these left-handed fellows floating
around this way at lunch time, and the
poor old chap sometimes has to wait
. pretty long while for the right kind
of a neighbor to show up. He hangs
on, though. till things come his way,
and gets an individual table or a left
handed man at last"
