STATUE OF LEE.
Veterans Of South Dakota Would Keep
Il Out of the Capitol.

At the G. A. X. encampment at Big
Stone the committee on resolutions
presented the following, which were
adopted:
Resolved, That in order to prevent
so far as possible the further misin-
depreciation of pension laws, we favor
a service pension law which will give
to every .honorably discharged soldier
or sailor of the army or navy of the
United States who served during the
War Of the Rebellion a pension of $l2
month, to apply to al, who are now
receiving less than that or who are
receiving none at all. r. r..
Whereas, There is an effort being
made to create a public sentiment
which will permit the statue Of the
traitor, Gen. Robert E. Lee, to be
placed in the rotunda of the capitol at
Washington beside those of Grant and
Lincoln and other true patriots, and
Whereas, we willingly admit that
Gen. Lee was a brave soldier and a
skillful military leader, we cannot for
get that all his skill as leader and
his bravery as a soldier was used as
traitor to the government which had
educated him in the science OF war.
and we are unalterably opposed to the
idea Of making treason respectable;
therefore, be il
Resolved, That this department Is
opposed to placing the statue of Rob
ert E. Lee in the national capitol, be-
lieying it will be time enough to con-
slider that proposition when the last
soldier who fought under Lincoln and
Grant TO preserve this nation from the
deadly onslaught of the hosts OF trea-
son led by Lee shall have crossed the
river
The candidacy of Cen. John G. Black
OF Illinois for national commander is
ineorsed and the support of the de-
paTtment is pledged to him.

DIDN'T scRAPE THE BOTTOM.
But There Wasn't Very Much Left for
a SWeetener in Bounty Fund.

The last legislative session appro-
priated $4,000 to pay wolf bounty de-
ficiencies for scalps presented under
the old law, which provided but $4,000
per year to pay bounties, but placed
no limitation on the amount which
was available in any one year. The
time has expired for filing claims to
this deficiency, and the total amount
claimed is $29,1S7 This shows a
close estimate when 1t was placed at
100000. and the amount which will be
turned back to the state will not car
ny the revenues any great length of
time.

Hanging Out Clothes.

be of some interest to many: A sheet
or tablecloth hung on the lire with the
selvage at the bottom, and especially
If drawn tightly, will stretch in the
middle more than Oh the sewage, and
the clothespins will often twist the
grain of the hem all out of shape. They
should be hung with the hens down
and be pulled slightly on the line 70
prevent stretching in the middle. Tow
els napkins and pillow slips should be
hung In the same way, hens down.
Before hanging them there is an impor-
tant part of the work to do, because it
is preventive of more work later, and
that is the wringing of the cloth. In
stead of putting such articles through
the wringer by the corner or any edge
that happens to be most handy, keep
this rule in mind from start to finish,
"the way of the warp" Lift the arti-
Giles from the water lengthwise rather
than widthwise. Take the ends, not
the sides, in the hands, and lift the
piece up and down in the water until
thoroughly rinsed, then put the end
through the wringer evenly and before
hanging them on the line take each
piece by the end and shake it well. This
will pay in the ironing end of the work.
Doubtless more than half of the labor
of ironing might be dispensed with If
one would remember that proper
wringing shaking and hanging, and
particularly careful handling and fold
ing when taken from the line. are, OF
should be. part of the smoothing or
+ ironing process.

High school she began modelling in
private classes. Fortunately artists Of
European education in Colorado for
their health became her instructors.
Among them was Samuel Richards for
many years an artist in Munich. He
was impressed with Miss Wards abili-
ty and advised her to come to New
York.
That was eight years ago. She took
his advice and found herself enrolled
at the Art league under Mr.. st. eau
dens. TO "help out" in her finances she
accepted the position of monitor of
the modelling classes and took care of
the rooms.
lIr st. Gaudens saw that she would
win distinction and gave her every en-
enlargement. She won the first prize
for statue of boy, beautiful fig
ure Of thoughtful youth in pose Of
contemplation. The work placed her
at the head of the three modelling
classes, one of women and two Of men.

ciety Of American Artists aud also by
special request at the Philadelphia
Academy Of Fine Arts.
On returning to this country she

Sewing on Buttons.

There is art even in such a prosaic
matter as sewing on buttons. The or
binary operator makes a knot in the
cotton, passes the needle through the
material from the under part and
cheerfully accomplishes her task. The
stronger the thread the more satisfied
she will be. But when the garment Is
dealt with in the wash and ironing
time comes around the knot upon
which the work had depended forms a
hard lump which cannot possibly re-
sist the heavy and sharp sides Of the
iron. The latter cuts it off or certainly
impairs its strength, and the wearer Is
left buttonless. The moral is obvious.
Start sewing from the outside or the
inside before putting on the button.
The latter, being fairly tight, will pro-
tect the knot, and the smooth thread at
the back will not be cut.
