ANCHORING SAND DUNES.
Covered With Vegetation to Prevent
 Them from Engulfng Arable Land.

COVeFeQ sW1tu VeSeIdLtOu to FTeVenC
 Them from Enguldng Arable Land
 So much attention has been di- rected to work that is being done in retaining the arid and selni-arid lands of the west that the reclama- tion work along the Atlantic coast is almost entirely overlooked. The fa- miliar sand dunes, characteristic of the coast from Cape Cod to Cape Fear, while perhaps artistic, consti- tute menace to adjacent cultivated lands and are useless in themselves.
 Massachusetts, at considerable ex- pense, has been endeavorfng to re- claim the sand dunes that form so large part of the Province Lands'' on Cape Cod. ~ u
 1t has been found that sand is readily bound together by grass roots and that if sturdy varieties of grass, suita ble for sandy soils, are planted and cared for while obtaining a foot hold and maturing, they will gradual ly cover large areas, transforming them from shifting worthless lands into veritable fertile cultivable fields. Many years of forestry work in Europe have shown that after the grasses have made a start, trees can be successfully raised on these erst- while sand piles, which may thus be made to yield a revenue. Some of the most extensive and mobile sand dunes in the United States however, are found in the west. and it is the ambition of the bureau of forestry to cover these with permanent forest growths. Along the Columbia river in Washington the sand is very light i owing to the large proportion of mica it contains, and consequently is easily blown about by the winds.
 In a part of the lower Columbia river valley great orchards have been actually engulfed with the shifting sands, and the railroads have expert enced great difficulty in maintaining their tracks in this district in pass fable condition. In order to make q practical test as to the best method of treating these dunes, a strip of land on the Columbia river,- between Will 1 low creek and the John Day river,
 has been set aside by the government for extensive experiments based on the work done in Massachusetts re- ferred to above. Tn the east, tree planting plans for owners of sandy
 tracts are being prepared, thus ex- l tending the scope of the practical cooperation begun by the bureau of
 forestry try.-Philadelphia Record

HOW HANNA WON HIS WIFE.
When a Young Grocer He Wooed Only Daughter of Daniel Rhodes.

f z Nearly thirty eight years ago Mark Hanna was just starting on his busi- yness career as grocer in Cleveland He was poor, plodding. and to the casual observer very everyday sort fOf young man. Daniel Rhodes was one of the rich coal owners of the state. He had one daughter, Gus sic, the very idol of his soul. Around this lovely girl the brusque old fath- CT had wreathed all the sentiment, all the hopes of his future existence. Everything was to be done for Gus sic. Mrs Rhodes. her fond mother, was joint idolator at the daugh- ter's shrine, and the doting parents had dreams of a rich. Influential suttor, Ia splendid marriage and a brilliant social career for Gussie, when. as usual. the e unexpected hap pened Gussfe Rhodes met and loved the obscure, poor young man, Mark Hanna. MT Rhodes was hstounded when the daring young grocer called upon him and asked for the hand of his daughter. He refused absolutely to grant the young sutton even time enough to beg. He said "no,1 curtiy and sharply, and when he saw his daughter he tried to scold. her, but instead he took her i'll his honest arms and begged her not to think of "this unknown man, Han na-" He said he never, never could consent to such a choice for his child.
 Gussie Rhodes told her father, with many a reassuring embrace, that she would never marry without his consent, and she added: But, papa dear, I shall never marry any man but Mark Hanna.''
 Then She promised her father not : to See her lover or write to him for h year at least. She kept her prom dse, and in the course of a few weeks, although she never audibly mur- mured, and was sWeetly gentle and loving to all about her. she grew pale and wan. She neither ate nor slept. The father was at his wits end. Someone proposed foreign tour for that change Of scene which ds supposed to work wonders in heart affections, and presto! at a few hours notice, father. mother and daughter were on board an Atlantic liner.
 For nearly year the change of acene' prescription was faithfully puiSuOQ duu IHe pduoHI, dlWdIS cheerfully submissive, gentle and charming, obviously grew Trailer day by day. Almost in despair the old man brought his child home again, and one morning he gathered the courage to ask her if she still cared for Mark Hanna.
 Why, father" she replied, T shall always love Mark; I told you that, you know, a year ago."
 Poor old Uncle Dan'' Rhodes That was bitter day for him. but he was equal to the occasion. Sending for the obscure young man, he said to him: 4
 "Mr. Hanna, Gussie loves you. that is my only reason for accepting you as her future husband. You are poor I'll fix it so Gussfe can live as she has been accustomed to and suppose must see you marry her"
 Now the coming young man cast

ever so slight a shadow of his future greatness, on the opportunity of the present. ~ .~ ~
 Mir. Rhodes said he, Y most gracefully accept the gift of your daughters love. To marry her is for this world to become a paradise for me- but I cannot make her my wife unless she will consent to live as my means will enable us. can neither accept aid nor permit my wife to ac- cept it from anyone"
 So Mark Hanna and Gussie Rhodes were married. and the bride went from her fathers big house to live ill a tiny little cottage where with one maid-of ll-work, she was as happy as a queen for some years. 4;s- z.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portions OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an.
inflamed condition Of the mucous
lining Of the Eustachian tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have d
rumhling or imperfect hearing, and
when tits entirely4e closed, deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored toits normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out Of ten are caused BY catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed ccn-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We willgive One Hundred Dollars
for any case OF deafness caused BY
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

Dem mocratic Platform
BROWN COUNTY, SOUTH DAKOTA

We, the democrats Of Brown county, in con- 81
vention assembled, do hereby resfirm our al
Iegiance 10 the fundamental principles OF Democra-
cy which guarantee 4 governments for the equal
benefit and protection Of all the people,, with
special privileges to none.
We heartily indorse the principles enunciated
in the platform Of party adopted by It's nation
81 convention at ST. Louis and believe that all ad
yocates of true democratic principles can stand
upon that platform and work harmoniously for its
triumph. We also indorse the action Of thut con-
yenton in its wise selection of Honorable Alton B
Parker and Honorable Henry &. Davis as the
standard bearers of party, and pledge them our
united and hearty support
While we do not deem it necessary il the conn
ty convention to reiterate in detail the govern
mental principles for which we are contendino. we
feel it duty to condemn the action Of the leeis
latnre in depriying the electors of each commits
sioner district Of the right to choose its own rep
rescntatiye on the board of county commissioners.
This representative stands more closely 10 The
people than any other, and it is direct attack Is
upon that local sef-government forswhich we have
always contended. We believe that this law was
passed for purely political reasons and for th. pur-
pose Of lerpetuating and maintaining machine
rule
We denounce as unwise the extrayaoant an
preparation Of So 900 for the maintenance Of the
militia which is largely d matter Of DISPLAY md
pageantery, while refusing any appropriation what
ever for the maintenance Of farmers institutes
which would benefit all the people,
We believe that when we pay hur of;ce,s )
salary we are entitled to a tfeis ssryiees We
employ deputies to assist, not to conduct the
Office; and that all fees collected by such officers
should be strictly accounted for and turned in to
the county treasurer as required by law, and that
no officer should be permitted to claim that such
fees belong K to him as extra perquisites
We favor an honest, economical and business
adm nistration Of IS allpubic funds, whether per-
tanning to local, state national affairs.

charge of obtaining money under false

the check was presented for payment
it was found to be bogus and search
