WHO "YES" AND WHO "N0"
Suggestions to Voters on Capital
Removal.

nCIitUtdIs
Pierre Capital-Journ The
man who was an early settler in
any county or township in the
state, did all in his power to pre-
vent the settlement of that coun-
tv and township and pre-
vented the land passing from the
government into the hands of set
tiers, with an idea that by such
action he reduced his taxes,
should cast his vote ayes" on the
capital removal proposition, for
that is is the position which is
taken by Mitchell today in reg ard
to the whole state.
The man who believes that it
will help to reduce his taxes by
advertising to the world that all
that portion of South Dakota, in
which state endowment lands,
and most of the common school
lands are situated is worthless
and will never be worth anything,
shoul0 vote YES" for that 10 the

method of campaign being carried
on by Mitchell.
The man who believes that the
interests of Mitchell are greater
to him than his own interests and
those of the state should vote
''Yes" and back such belief.
But the man who believes that
he helped to reduce the taxes in
his township and county by secur-
ing settlement. and bringing all
land under taxation, should vote
mo. to be consistent with his
belief, as the affairs of the state
are Just as vital to him as his lo-
cal affairs.
The man who believes that the
building up of thestate endowment
lands will increase their revenues,
and help to lower his taxes should
vote NO., to be consistent with
his belief.
The man who believes that his
own interest and the interest of
South Dakota are greater than
those of Mitchell should vote
mo" to be consistent with their
belief.
The capital matter is not a
question between Pierre and Nit
chell. The action of Mitchell for
the past two years has made it a
question between Mitchell and
the people of the whole state. It
is not necessary to bring any
other proof for this assertion than
to read any paper supporting
Mitchell and then honestly ask
yourself the question whether the
above statements are true.

KITTEN FOUND THE cATNIP.
After Rigel Had Discovered the Treas
ure He Wanted to Share It with
His Playmates.

IL An Indiana physician tells this story
of a bright kitten in Our Dumb Animals:
The kitten was named "Rigel," was
very PLAYFUL, full of reasoning in all his
play, and soon grew to be a large cat
/ Snow covered the ground most of the
winter, and catnip could not easily be
had by the cats. One day while sitting
at the desk l noticed my cat climbing
up set of shelves which contained
medicines and drugs in bottles and
boxes. When he reached the fifth shelf
from the floor he carefully reached with
his paw a small packet, pulled it out and
dropped it to the floor. Nothing else was
touched. He jumped down, smelled Of
the paper, then came to me and mewed
and ran to his find, which on picking up
l found to be an unopened five-cent
packet of catnip. l broke it and gave a
part to him on a paper. He ate of it,
then rolled in it and enjoyed real feast.
In the evening of the same day, while
relating this to a friend, a mewing and
scratching was heard at the door. l
| opened it and in came Rigel, and with
him a large white cat. Rigel repeated
| his performance and seemed pleased to
see his friend enjoy it.
About a week after the white cat and
a maltese cat came in, and third time
my cat succeeded in getting the packet
| without disturbing another box. After
| they had partaken to their satisfaction,
| l put them on the walk and my friend

THE MODERN BABY.

They can say that I must not be rocked
Because my brain might addle.
II I could speak, they would be shocked
I'd call that fiddle-faddle.
And yet. OF course, they ought to KNOW
Still, 1 can't help but wonder
II some one rocked them years ago
When folks were apt to blunder.
They stand around me- looking wise,
And say they must not pet me;
A gentle pat To soothe my cries
They claim would further fret me-
My raising must conform to law
+. Down to each jot and title
Did people hold them off with awe
! When they were bald and little?
They say that bouncing me is sure
To make me very nervous,
That children's frames cannot endure
Such sadly thoughtless service.
Yet these phlegmatic scientists,
! Ere they began to toddle,
Were bounced until their chubby fists
Played tattooes on the noodle.
When I stretch out my willing arms
Inviting them to froiic
They rise in wondering alarm
And talk of Group and collie
It's hard to be a baby now;
They will not pet or jump US,
And when I sleep, my peaceful brow
Must lie straight with the compass.
When 1 grow up of course I'll be
A triumph scientific,
But really it seems to me
My hard luck is terrific.
If l could only speak my mind
But, then, they would not thank me.
One Unframed custom they would find
They still think they may spank me!
