WELL.
New One at Chamberlain Flows $40.
Gallons a Minute.

Chamberlain, S. D., May 23.-The new
artesian we'll just completed for the
Chamberlain Electric Light company
by Norbeck & Nicholson of Redfeld,
stands at the head OF all the artesian
wells ever put down in the artesian
basin of South Dakota. The we'll is
an S-inch bore, $50 feet deep, and flows
S,497 gallons of water per minute. With
the pipe wide open it throws a solid
column of water twenty-five feet in the
air from the top of the pipe. Reduced
to six inches a column OF water is
thrown up 60 feet, and reduced to three
inches a stream was today thrown
straight into the air 1853 feet. When
closed the well has a pressure Of more
than 100 pounds to the a inch. The
temperature of the water is about so
degrees.
Norbeck & Nicholson have twenty
three well outfits constantly at work in
South Dakota. and they have put down
a total of 1900 wells, but the new we'll
in this city is the king Of them all, nor
is there a record of anything even APP
preaching it.
Norbeck e. Nicholson put down the
Mcclure we'll in Stanley county. the
first we'll attempted west of the Mis-
souri, river, and they o that
they have in view the drilling Of O
numbe of wells in the range country.
where until the drilling of the Mcclure
we'll 1t was presumed artesian wells
could not be secured. The Mcclure
well has from the first been throwing
up considerable gas, and this has just
been harnessed and the ranch buildings
are being heated, lighted and the cook
stoves supplied with the article. Wells
in that section are about 600 feet in
depth, but new machinery n appli-
ances in drilling originated by Norbeck
& Nicholson have greatly modified the
cost, and it is expected hat the reduc-
ton in cost will result in the imme-
date sinking Of many wells in the
range country.

Fav0rite Japanese Card Game.

A favorite card game Of the Japanese
is played as follows: One hundred we'll
known proverbs are selected, each di-
vided into two parts and each part
printed on q separate card. The host
of the evening has the hundred first
halves, which he reads aloud, one by
one, the hundred second halves are
dealt to the other players, who place
their hands face upward on the ''tata
NIL" or thick mat of rice straw, on
which they sit. AS the first half of
any proverb is read the holder of the
second half throws it out, or if he sees
it unnoticed among his neighbours
cards seiZes it and gives him conc of
his own. The player who is first out
wins. 1t is very simple game, but it
affords great entertainment to the
players, for the quicksighted and keen
witted are constantly Selling the cards
of their duller and slower neighbours
and this leads to much laughter and
many good natured sarcasms.-West-

But the count still went on playing
chess, while the utmost good humor
and pleasant raillery continued among
the whole party. Yet another messea
ger from the outposts came in, which
left no doubt as TO the situation. Still
the count and his companions went on
playing. Your move, sir" We're the
words that broke the absorption Of thc
moment. Then when there was q
pause in the game at which he could
rise without being discourteous to his
guests the count got up and said. Cen

some one to send for his sword bearer.
The man advanced and Immediately
received his orders A few seconds
later Count Saigo's body and head had

Living For Ideals.

That was wise old clergyman who
urged his brethren not to admit young
men to the ministry unless they were
evidently more broadminded and en-
thusiastic in their faith than their cid
ers. 1--WE must allow" he said, "for
the inevitable shrinkage." The same
allowance is necessary in every life for
the sure closing in of theireal upon the
ideals of youth and the unavoidable
narrowing Of hope and aim that must
come with middle age. The more ideal
ism we start with the more stoutly we
defend it against the shocks it is GER
tain to receive, the more joyous life
will turn out to be as we so on living.
The drearineSs of the middle aged
view Of life springs largely from the
fact that it's ideals are SO shrunken as
to be no longer source of vitality, Of
renewal. AS long as we believe in life
and in love and in friendship and in
heroism and in other ideal possibilities
life is worth living. and we are strong
to take our part il it. Living for ideals
is happy and courageous living. Liv-
ing without them is 1.-THE dull gray life

\ Criminal Paradise.

Spain'S criminal settlement in the
Zafarina islands is said to be quite 81
paradise Of convicts. Their liberty is
restricted only so far that they must
not leave the islands and must return
at night to prison unless they obtain
leave of absence for the night At 6
o'clock in the morning the convicts
leave the prison. Some do a little
work, but the majority go straight to
the various wine shops and obstetrics,
where they pass the day drinking, sing
ing and occasionally breaking the
monOtony of life with a little knitting,
for each respectable prisoner carries
his ''faca'' (znife) day and night with
him. This idyllic state of things APP
pears less strange if one considers that
the prison Warders-the "capatares'
arc the liquor sellers of the islands and
that a good deal Of illicit trading is
carried on in those places Of resort,
the prisoners buying revolvers, ammu
milton, housebrcakers' tools and SINH
lar articles.-ChicagO News.

Can Ducks SmeIEe

It has been often asked whether or
not ducks can smell. Some hunters
cite from their experiences instances
that seem to show ducks can smell;
others say that ducks cannot. Now the
naturalist would say that ducks, owing
to their habit, have no need to smell
and hence cannot. This rule is not
infallible, but generally holds good.
Any wild thing with such eyes as
ducks have does not need to smell. Ma
ture seems to have given birds a dis
corning eye and animals q discerning
nose A fox will look straight at a
man and not see him, even when only
few feet away, provided he does not
smell him or the man does not move.
A duck will not only see a man stand
ing perfectly still at long distance,
regardless Of the wind, but will notice
any change in the landmarks OF It's
haunts OF feeding grounds.-Outing.

Men Who Scalp Themselves.

eve still find men who have unlimit-
ed faith in the old fashioned idea Of
giving their hair 100 strokes with the
brush night and morning." said the
old barber. "Some of them are not
content with the old fashioned hogs
bristle brush. They use wire brush,
electric or otherwise. It's all fake.
A brush drags out the hair by the roots
much more quickly than a comb. A
man who wants to save his hair should
use the brush as little as possible. With
women it is different. They have thick,
long hair, and if it is not brushed
daily it is likely to fall out Besides, a
brush gives gloss to the hair, and that's
what women like But with a man Il
healthy head of hair looks as we'll
without the gloss as with it. All that
is necessary for him is to keep the
scalp clean and use the comb He has
very little use for the brush - NJ"

The Red PetticOat.

Unto all railroad engineers the red
petticoat is q sacred thing. Upon
scores of occasions red petticoats have
been the means of saving trains from
being wrecked. Invariably the woman
who discovers a washout or a collaps-
ed bridge Or an obstruction on the
track wears red petticoat. There
may be q psychological explanation of
this remarkable fact, but whether
there is or not the brave woman al
ways manages during the one minute
and twenty seven seconds that must
elapsc before the arrival of the light

off and wave it frantically, thus warn
ing the engineer and enabling him to
stop the train on the very brink Of de-
struction.-Chicag Record-Hcrald.

Case pf Mistaken Identity.

Residents Of certain part Of Spruce

still harder to tell them apart. Some
one who knows the old ladies very we'll

Cats as Food.

A writer in the London Chronicle
says: GA few years ago-it may be the
same today-the popular markets of
the poorer quarters of Rome and even
the stalls of the butchers near the
Pantheon showed rows and rows of
cats hung up for sale, with the skins
off, but the tails carefully left on to
show that they were not rabbits, for
an old fashioned italian does not think
a rabbit quite fit for human food, nor
will any Italian peasant eat the meat
of sheep. Anything winged, however, is
his favorite food. Like the lady i'll
