varied weather on hand. We were
heedful of the warning, aud were
prepared. The promise was fulfilled
on Tuesday and Wednesday and at
this writing we are climbing snow
banks with mercury at Is degrees
below freezing point. Green foliage
sticking out of the snow looks rather
queer.
We notice that some farmers are
still letting their stock roam at will
over the prairie and fields, eating and
tramping down their neighbOrs crops.
This, in our opinion, is a wrong
thing to do. If you care for the well
fare and continuance of an existing
neiehborly friendship you will not
make material of this kind for agra
walton and quarrels.
Farmer friends we have, and will
have more, new corners among us
each year. Let us endeavor Io.be
neighborly and offer encouragement
to them. Give them the assurance
that we welcome their coming and
give them the benefit Of our long
experience in various ways here in
South Dakota.

TAKE TIME TO READ.

Pause, o youth or maiden, before you
accustom your lips to this fatal formula
II have no time to read" You have all
the time which, for you, exists, and it Is
abundant. What are you doing with it
with your leisure? Mainly gossiping. Our
modern malady is gregariousness. We
must be in company chattering.
We are becoming in this matter very
like the Athenians, but worse Asked il
he has read a book, man usually says
mo, / have no time for books, but ]
have read review of it in the Literary
Ragbag'' Now, what is a review in the
Literary Ragbag? 1t is not criticism
1t contains a photograph of the author, a
description of his early struggles" an
estimate of his income, an account of his
home, wife. dogs and cats and a com
ment on his favorite amusements. Why
has every one time to read all these fulfill
ties about the writer's of books while not
one person in thousand has time to read
the books of the writer's?
No more time is needed to read master
pieces than to read the last new novel. II
is not time, but 1.-The mind to it, th5>tt i.
lacking. Do not dawde and put off, but
begin upon something good at once.
may freely admit that the study of Bacon
and Mill requires seclusion and earnest ap
plication, but many good booys, say Bos
wells Life of Johnson or the doctors
own Lives of the Poets,'' are at least as
easy reading as a new novel and much
more diverting than most new novels
You make acquaintance with such wits
and charming characters as you do not
unless you are very fortunate, meet every
day.-Andrew Lang.

THE NOVEMBER "PEARsoN's. +"

The cover design of the November
Parsons is a dainty little maiden repro
Guced from one of Mrs. Adrian c. Hopes
pastel portraits of children. A well illus
trated article on Mrs. Hopes portrait
work opens the number. The special ar
ticles are numerous and interesting-Llfe
IL Metals is description by A. Sarath
kumar Ghosh of a remarkable discovery
which Professor Bose, a Hindu philoso-
pher, claims to have made, that peculari-
ties OF animal matter are exactly repro
duced in the case of metals, indicating
that metals are alive" in the same sense
that animals and vegetables live. The
Maryels of Fruit Breeding, by Marcus
Woodward, tells of the results obtained
by the crossing of various fruits. An in
teresting bit of American history is ra-
called by Mr.. David S. Barry's article on
The Electoral Commission, which was ap-
pointed in 1887 to settle the Hayes-TildeI
election dispute. Edward Harrigan con-
tributes an article on the methods which
have led to his great success in portrayal
of East Side types, and Mr.. William P.
Symin has an excellent character sketch
of Cardinal Gibbons, the greatest Roman
Church dignitary in America.

THE YOUTH OF WASHINGTON.

The Century will publish during the
coming year what seems likely to be pro
nounced daring and unique piece of his
torical writing, 1.-The Youth of Washing
ton: Told in the Form of an Autobiogra
ply" by S. Weir Mitchell, Ii. D., au-
thor of Hugh Wynne.'' DR.. Mitchell
imagines Washington sitting down at
Mount Vernon in his old age and record
ing. solely for his own eye, the story OF
lis youthful life and the influences that
affected it for good or ILL., 1t is promised
that the author has so fully entered into
the habit of mind of Washington that ii
will be impossible for the reader to sep
arate in the text the passages taken out
of his actual writings from those which
DR.. Mitchell imagines him to write.

On Tho [l6G@paUny W@pDd]o

| sometimes called was built by General
William Lenoir, of Kings Mountain fame,
one of the Revolutionary patriots of North
Carolina. This sketch by Mrs. Lenoir is
rather descriptive than historical, but is
well written and contains picture of its
first owner, who presents man of re-
markably handsome presence, arrayed in
! the costume of his day.
Panther Creek the seat of the Williams
family in Yadkin formerly part of Surry)
county constitutes the second sketch, and
is written by Mrs Hayne Davis. 1t deals
largely with the Revolutionary wartime
experiences of its builder, Colonel Joseph
Williams. of Surry, and his family. 1t
also contains valuable genealogical mat
ter, and is embellished with a picture Of
the house.
The third sketch is an account of Clay
Hill, in Wake county, also built By q
Revolutionary officer, Major John Hinton,
and is written by Miss Mary billiard
Hinton. This, too, contains a picture of
the house of which it treats which was
the scene of some fierce partisan warfare
between the patriots of Wake and the
Tory marauder, Colonel David Tanning
one of the most daring adventures of his
time. Tanning was also a Wake county
man. He should not be confused with
Colonel Edmund flaming of Hillsborough.
Miss Hinton's sketch tells much of the
early history of Wake county. and also
deals to some extent in genealogy. This
latter is also valuable feature of the
sketch, as the Hintons are connected with
many of the county's most notable fami
lies of that day-Lanes, Jeneses, Elm
broughs, and others, together with the
Seawells, Mordecais and Devereuxs, who
settled in the county at a somewhat later
date In this article are also some notes
about the selection of the site of Raleigh
for State capital. After the turmoils
of the Revolutionary war were ended and
long period of peace had ensued, Clay
Hill was called on at later date to suf
fer when Sherman's men passed on their
plundering tour through North Carolina.
