ONE DAY WITH TIE BABY.
Mother Jots Down Her Experience
of the Waking Hours for
Skoptical Father.

81 tell you" said yourg MIR. Mortimer,
their only sen on his way to bed, you
don't know how | envy you, my dear, the
opportunity of being with that young
ster every hour of the day and watching
his little mind unfold like-like q fiow-
err" he concluded ,tritely, but with Tn
diminished earnestness. If matters had
rested there, says the Chicago News, all
would have been we'll. But alter some
comment by his wife he continued:
mo time!" he observed, with a su-
perior smile. 81 often hear you say that,
my dear, and | suppose you don't know
the curiosity it awakens in my mind.
The curiosity" continued Mr.. Mortimer,
'as to what you manage TO co with your
time to fill it up. 1t is a long Gay from
seven to seven, surely long enough to
have an hour for almost everything that
might fall within q vcnan's sphere; yet
somehow you seem to miss much"
Mrs. Mortimer said nothing, but in her
mind was born a resolution.
The next evening after dinner Mrs.
Mortimer approached her husband with
a few sheets Of paper. This diary Of a
Gay, my dear" she said, IS she thrust
the papers into his hand. This is what
he read:
Five o'clock. Baby woke up, ard
would not go to sleep again. l took him
down to the library so that his father
should not be disturbed at such en- early
hour, and kept him amused until sever.
Seven o'clock. Managed to get dressed
for breakfast, but was unable to eat it
with my husband owing to the fact that
baby got badly scratched en- a pin, which
his father gave him to play with, and had
to be Goothed.
Eight O'Clock. Gave baby his bath
and breakfast. AT Breakfast he upset
his bowl Of porridge over his clean dress
and so he had to be undressed, bathed
and dressed all over again.
Mine O'Clock. Took baby out in his
go-ceri 70 market and for a little airing.
Had planned to make q little informal
call, but baby grew fretful, and | had
to bring him home and put him to sleep.
ELEVEN O'Clock. Baby woke up and
tried to swallow a button. Sent for the
doctor, but meantime got the button out
Of his throat with my finger.
Twelve O'Clock. Baby spilled a bot
tie of ink all over the library table and
the rug under 1t. Also over himself.
"One o'clock. Baby's third bath to-
day. Luncheon. Unexpected company.
Three O'Clock. Got baby to sleep aft
er an hours trying.
-Four o'clock. Baby woke up feverish
from his throat. Fell and bumped his
head badly.
-Four thirty. Baby fell and bumped
his head again in the same place. Was
naturally irritated and fretful.
"SiX o'clock. Dressed baby for the
fifth time to-day, so that when his bliss
full, ignorant father came home he might
think a day with baby a h%eaven-sent
privilege and a woman's time legitimate
matter for perennial Jest. Sworn to-,
signed and submitted."

The contest was a highly successful
n and particularly so to the stud
ents of Dakota University. These
contests have been held for the past
eight years, and it is something to
the credit Of the Mitchell institu-
tion to he able TO say that four of
the contests have been won by its
orators, with three second places al
so to theil credit. The following
orators won first places for the Uni
versity: Ethan L. Cotton, Miss
Edith Noble, Clarion d. Hardy and
James Crowthe1s. Such victories
brings credit to an institution of
learning and to the town In which
the college is located, and the citiz-
ems of Mitchell have every reason to
be proud Of the institution on the
hill to the south.

TO THE GRADUATES
Rev. Wilkinson Delivered Baccalau--
reate Address to High School
Graduates Sunday.

There was an immense audience at
the corn palace Sunday evening to
hear the baccalaureate address to
the graduating class of the Mitchell
high school, which was delivered by
Rev. II. S. Wilkinson, pastor of the
Methodist church. The presence Of
so many people demonstrated the
fact that a fine interest is maintained
in the city schools. The class of
twelve occupied seats In front, where
they listened attentivelS to the
splendid ermon The pastor was
assisted i'm the service OF the even
ing by Revs. A. c. Bowdish, T. j.
Giblett and j. S. Surbeck. The mu-
sic was furnished by Misses Ruth
and Tillotson and Messrs. Olson and
Meyer.
Mr.. Wilkinson's sermon was a very
practical one in it's entirety. His
text was taken from | Cor. 6, 1920:
"and We are not your own; for We are
bought with a price" He began his
address by a comparison of the
erection Of a great ship from the
day Of its inception to the day of its
launching to that of the lives Of the
young people who passed through
the earlier stages of life and come to
the commencement Of their school
days, the time when they go forth
into society. The speaker held that
all we were we owed to society and
that OH taking wi place in its ranks
there was a duty imposed upon us to
contribute to the further upbuilding
of the same, and to so conduct DUR
selves that there be no detracting
influence emanating IRON US. He
enlarged upon the thought Of the
relations of the individual to society
and applied the suggestions to the
members Of the graduating class,
impressing upon them the need OF
following the life CT the individual
whose presence in the world will be
Of some benefit to mankind. He de-
.clared that society had its claims up
on every individual and that there
should be no Sinking from the re-
sponsibility that is thus placed. So
ciety expects you, he said, to identi-
fly yourself with the government and
with the church, both OF which are
institutions that are to be supported
loyalty by the people. In touching
upon these two features Mr.. wilkins
son made some suggestions that we're
indeed helpful not only to the mems
beers of the class but to others as
we'll. The sermon, if it's teachings
are followed by the graduates. will
be a good guide for them to follow
through life and by obeying its in
functions and needing its sugges-
tions they will leave behind them
the impress OF their earnestness and
OF their faIthfulness to that which
makes our country the ideal one
in which to live.

difficult place for people to get
through in coming from the country
and is done to make travel easier in
that direction.
The appointment of a street com
missioner has been held up since it
was decided to have one, and at this
meeting some action was taken to-
ward providing for that necessary
officer. 1t was decided to fix the
salary of that official at $50 per
month for five months of this year.
Mayor Silsby presented the name CT
%. L. Grinnell as that official and
he was promptly confirmed by the
council. 1t is not known whether
Mr.. Grinnel will accept the appoint
ment at this figure, but if he does
we are sure OF having a street COM
missioner whose work and interest
will be for the direct benefit of the
Improvement of the city. In the
matter of grading Mr.. Grinnell GER
tainly understands his business to the
limit and with him i'm charge of the
streets the work will always be done
in the best possible manner.
The bills against the city were pre-
sented and allowed and warrants
were ordered drawn for their pay
ment. after a short executive ses-
sion the council adjourned.

BURIED AT HILLSIDE
impressive Funeral Services Were
Held at Hillside Over the Re-
mains of t. Goldammer.

L. Goldammer, who resides on
a farm just over the line IN Douglas
county, about "a miles south of
Mitchell, was stricken with apoplexy
Thursday morning. DR.. Crane vas
sent for but could do little to relieve
him, and while the physician was
there Mr.. Goldammer had a second
stroke. During the morning he be-
came conscious and was talking
over some private matters with his
wife when the second stroke came.
Little over week ago Mr.. Goldam-
mer's son was accidently shot and
killed and the death OF the boy
seems to have worried him quite a
good deal, and it is thought that
this IS partially responsible for the
stroke of apoplexy. Mr.. Goldammer
died Saturday afternoon.
Sunday afternoon funeral services
were held over the remains of Troe-
CAT Goldammer at the German Lutb-
eran church at Hillside. and the
friends from all that section were in
attendance. The services we're con-
Quoted by Rev. Mr. Priegal, pastor
OF the church, and these were of a
very impressive character. The
Grand Army of this city sent a
small delegation to give the rites of
the order, as the deceased was a
member of the post of this city.
The following old soldiers acted as
pail bearers: VIM. Nash, Elijah Til
%lotson, G. |. Miitimore. Phillip Lu.
cas- and a. G. Plingle.
Troegat Goldammer was born in
SaXonv, Germany, March II. 1881.
In lS4S he moved from that country
with his parents to Wisconsin. In
1861 the deceased was married to
Mary kieser and to this union was
born II children. nine of whom are
living, and with the wife are left to
mourn his death. He enlisted in the
United States army in 1864 with Co
A, 45th Wisconsin volunteer infantry
and served to the end or the war.
MIR. Goldammer moved to this coun-
try i'm 1881 and located on a home
stead "a miles south of Mitchell, just
over the line i'm Douglas county.
He was a man very highly respected
in his community for his rugged
honesty and straightforwardness.

thought and style were Rev. Mr..
Cave. of Flandreau, Rev. DR.. Book,
Of Chicago. and Miss Druitt, of
Brookings agricultural college.
There was some difference In the
markings of the two South Dakota
orators on this occasion and that of
the contest held at Huron IN May.
AT that time there was but one
point between Mr.. Crowther and
Miss Treadway. The markings of
the interstate judges gave Mr..
Crowther a lead of nine points over
Miss broadway. This reference is
not made boastingly nor with the
view of any disparagement to Miss
Treadway, but merely to Inform a
Huron correspondent that he was
not justified in the remarks that he
made at the time of the state con-
test in that city.
The following are the markings of
the judges:
