A story Of q Scholar.

Theodor Mommsen, the famous his
torian, had not only the appearance
during the half hours drive from Ber-
lin to Charlottenburg the car in which
the professor rode went badly of the
track. The rest Of the passengers
alighted, the horses were removed and
the stranded car was left until help
reading his book. An hour passed, and
the sound of levers and jacks and the
plunging of horses hoofs aroused him
from his reverie. With no sign Of dis
composure he arose from his seat and
went to the door. "Ah." said he, I'VE
seem to have come to q standstilL."

Reading the Bible.

It was the meeting Of the Christian
Endeavor society. Near the close the
leader suggested that each n should
tell what part of the Bible he read the
most and give the reason.
The last n to speak was a lad who
said, with a little hesitation, that he
read the first chapters of Genesis more
than any others.
A look Of surprise and curiosity was
manifest in all the listeners as he
went on to give his reason.
"You see l always resolve every new
year that l will begin and read the
Bible through, but l never get very far,
and of curse l always have to make a
new beginning"

Waubay Clipper: A favorite
argument with the advocates of
Pierre in the capital contest, used
principally with those not thoroly
posted in the matter, is the ex-
pense of the taxpayer of moving
the capital.
Certainly the question of adj
ditional expense is a vital one 10
the already heavily burdened
taxpayer, and it is clearly his
duty to carefully investigate this
phase of the contest before de-
Gliding upon a choice between the
two cities.
Mitchell eagerly invites such
an Investigation, fully aware that
from a standpoint of economy
to say nothing of accessibility
and natural advantage-it occu
pies a position far superior to it's
rival on the Missouri.
In the first place, the present
capitol building at Pierre is a
frame building similar in. ap-
pearance to the old Day county
court house, ramshackle and in
secure. Hence, in the event of
Pierre winning, a new building
is an imperative necessity, and
one of the first bills which will be
introduced in the next legislature
will provide for che erection of a
suitable structure at Pierre
costing not less than two million
dollars. Granting that Sioux
Falls granite is used (the legis-
lature of 1903 passed an act
ordering the warden Of the
penitentiary to prepare stone
for a capital building) the excess
freight on this stone as between
Mitchell and Pierre would
amount to over $3.50, 600.
+ But there is no necessity of a
new building at Mitchell, at least
for a term of years, and when
that time arrives enough state
land will have been sold to pro
vide funds, avoiding a bond is
sue Or increase of taxation, to
cover the expense.
The city of Mitchell possesses
a handsome granite building, 85x
10 feet in size, three stories in
height, which it gives to the
state Of South Dakota in it's en-
tirety, absolutely free of rent,
for use as a capitol building until
such time as the state elects to
build a capitol building of its
own. This building is ample for
all the requirements of a state
capitol, therefore the immediate
expense of building is avoided
by the location of the capital at
Mitchell.
In addition to this, forty-three
business men of Mitchell have
executed a deed to six blocks
twenty acres-of land in the
city limits, close to the business
center, in favor of the state of
South Dakota. said deed to be
turned over to the governor
should Mitchell receive a major
ity vote on November 8.
Nor is this all. Mitchell guar
antees to coves all expense of
transferring the capital from
Pierre to Mitchell in case the
voters SO decide on electiont day.
Let every taxpayer investigate
and learn for himself whether
this is not an exact and truthful
statement of the situation, and
he will readily see that his in
terests Can be best served by
voting for Mitchell.

Japan.
According to information received
here comparatively few Japanese are
now in Siberia. Most of them left
there just prior TO or after the break
ing out OF the war. The United States
embassy, which is charged with safe
guarding Japanese interests, has thus
far only responded to the appeals OF
score of Japanese coming from Siberia
through European Russia. The last
batch of twelve. from lrkutsk, was
sent to Berlin Saturday. Not one OF
them has been molested, but 1t is con-
sidered safer that the Japanese be
placed beyond the region OF possible
danger. No appeals have been re-
ceived from the few Japanese residing
in st. Petersburg and other cities OF
European Russia.
