THE LAST WORDS OF
FAMOUS MEN.

The date Mr.. kruger's last words, q
never thought it would be so easy to
die and Everything, l believe, will
come right in the end" bring to mem
ory many farewell sayings of notable
men just before the curtain fell on
theid life dramas.
When Charles Mathews wife. ap-
preaching her husband and kissing his
head as he was reading the Bible,
said: Il want you to go to bed now"
sI am ready the great actor replied
and never spoke again. The last
bought of King James V of Scotland
was of the succession. "It came with

Many other farewell sayings have
been inspired by thought for others,
The courtly earl of Chesterfield was
polite to the last. "Give Dayrolles a

when, a few moments later, the ear

South Dakota,

Comrade Phillip Lawrence, Past De-
partment Commander of South Dakota,
writes that about 200 comrades of South
Dakota have SO far signifed their inten-
ton to go to Boston. Considering the dis
tance this will be fine representation
from that State. South Dakota is look
ing up, and We may be pardoned for say
ing that while it is one of the youngest
it is also one of the best States in the
Union, and we have as loyal comrades as
can be found anywhere. You may look
for the South Dakota comrades in the pa
rade at Boston armed with the "Hauser
rifles" (corn and wheat on staff as usual.
The Hauser rifle is the trademark of
South Dakota G. A. r., and never fails
to attract attention, as it indicates that
We have something substantial upon which
to base our statements in the way of agri-
culture and other resources. l would not
have you think, however, that agriculture
is the only thing that builds up our State,
as you well know that we have the richest
one hundred miles square in the world in
our Black Hills section"

Their nests were so high up as to be out

that he could not get the pigeons, but he
had to promise that he would not injure
