JIM'S SISTER

The doctor had made his last visit
| for the night and the nurse was left
alone with her patient-a typhoid
| fever patient, muscular and raving
He had been as self-willed in his
illness as a spoiled child. He had
been almost convalescent when,
against all warning while the day
nurse was chatting with the Doctor
he had staggered from his bed to a
basket of fruit on the table and eaten
two peaches before he was seen. The
result was relapse into far more
critical condition than he had been
at first. Here he lay now, struggling
against death itself. She wondered
whether he had sister who was fond
of him-or a sweetheart who had
been sending him these baskets of
fruit.
He was breathing regularly in a
fitful doze. She returned to her chair
aGd leaned forward to look at him
with her chin in her hand.
Although she was not aware Of 1t
he had changed for her; from being
a case he had become a human
being with a claim of interest on her.
and she frowned at his muttering Of
pain. Poor fellow! Life must have
been so full for him OF interests, ac-
tivities, promises, achievements. To
have it all end this way, futilely! He
had given the college cry once in a
delirium and struggled painting
through a football game And once
he had been standing on the platform
of debate. And another time he had
been writing an examination in law.
And still another time she thought
that she heard him speak Jim's name
in the tumble of delirious mutter-
ings.
Jim was to have been a lawyer.
Poor Jim! Her eyes filed at that
old, tear-stained memory OF Jim
and her father drowned together in
that horrible accident on the Della
ware. Well, she at least had not
been burden on her mothers small
income, and soon-as soon as she
was graduated from the hospital
she would be not only self-supporting
but an aid to others. There
were two long years of hard work
before her yet. She bit her lip.
The untiring run and babble of his
delirium had been growing louder.
She went to him again to calm him
with the sound of her voice and he |
looked up at her with a smile that
seemed almost rational II was only |

Prof. A. Tyner Woolpert, principal
Of the Rapid City schools, was ar.
rested Monday oil warrant sworn out
by Benjamin Pickard, charging him
with taking liberties with Pickard's 13.
year-old daughter. Dottie. 1t Is said
that the offense was committed about
two months ago, but the girl did not
tell about it until about a week ago
The accusation has created sensa-

and has moved in the best society.
There Is n wide difference OF opinion
as to his guilt. but he expects to be
able to completely exonerate himself.
The affair has been talked OF for about
week. He has given $500 bail to
appear for examination.

One of the obscure causes of weakness and
the one oftenest overlooked is catarrh.
Catarrh inflames the mucous membrane
and causes the blood plasma to escape
through the mucous membrane in the form
OF mucous. This discharge of mucous is the
same as the loss of blood. 1t produces
weakness.
Peruna stops the catarrh and prevents

MI. Hitch on State sovereignty.

Students Of the great constitutional
questions which, after more than
halls a century Of controversy and
suspicion, led to the open breach
of war between the two differ
ing groups of states, should not
fail to secure the pamphlet containing
the recent address of Hon. Robert NJ.

Georgia, delivered at Savannah before

ed Society Of Confederate Veterans.
While this peculiarly strong and COM

Judge Speer's Prophecy.

In the light of the most recent de-
velOpments in Manchuria, the proph-
ecy made by Judge Emory Speer In
his University Of Georgia address In
1901 is worth reproducing at this time.
Judge Speer is a deep thinker and
events have proven that the fear then
expressed Of a clash between the
United States and Russia over Man
churia was well grounded That this
Is but the first step in an inevitable
conflict for the control Of the Pacific
must be realized by all those who look
into the future
The possibility OF discrimination
against American cotton imports into
Manchuria, then considered by Judge
Speer, has, according to advices from
unquestioned sources, become a real
ity, despite the opendoor assurances
of the cZars ministers. The Slav IS
tightening his grip. Shall he be per-
mitted to continue his enCroaches I'M
til his cherished desire to own first
Manchuria and then China is fully re-
allied?
