From The School Messenger.
E. M. Fishell, of Big Stone City,
will have charge of Kilborn No. 5.
The people of this district are fortu-
nate in securing Mr.. Fishell to teach
for them this winter.
A. F. Fuller will again have charge
Of the big school in Mazeppa No. z.
The people of this school district are
fortunate in having Mr.. Fuller teach
for them again this year.
There are fifty mine teachers in Grant
county who are under contract to teach
the present year at salaries ranging
from $40 to $50 per month. Teachers
in our rural schools ought to take adj
vantage of every opportunity to inn
prove themselves in their profession
and merit these liberal salaries.
The educational outlook for the
rural schools of Grant county, at the
present time, is very good. More than
two-thirds of the teachers who will
teach in these schools this year hold
second grade certificates, while the
remainder hold third grade certifi-
Gates. None of the teachers who will
teach in the country schools OF the
county this year are less than eighteen
years of age.

A great literary and dramatic treat
is in store for the people of our city
on the evening of Saturday, December
3, when DIR. Henrik Ibsens great
domestic drama "Ghosts" will be
played at the opera house by Miss
Laura Frankentield and company OF
eastern dramatic artists, under the
management of Mr.. Sanford Dodge,
whose name alone is a guarantee of a
refined, smooth, artistic performance.
Miss Frankenfield is a young woman
of high character and culture, and
strong dramatic ability. Native power
in her has received the admirable
training of education and experience,
combined with ever broadening study
of art and life. She is deep and
earnest student of Ibsen and possesses
the power of making his clearly cut
and forceable character appear as if
endowed with life. In Ibsen's plays
demand is made upon the actors for
strong characterization. Each one
must play his part with the incest de-
tail. In the capable hands of Miss
Frankentield and her company, the
audience become as we'll acquainted
with Ibsen's Norwegians as if they had
known them for years. No one should
miss this great play.

One of the good thin gs in South

One of the good things in South
Dakota is that it's farming com
munity has practical farm pa
per devoted to its particular re-
quirements and it's possibilities.
We refer to the Dakota Farmer,
speaking Of which the Aberdeen
News in a recent issue says:
Few people in Aberdeen realize
what wonderful strides the Dakota
Farmer has made of recent years, and
a visit to their Office and press room
would prove revelation to many.
More than $4,000 copies are put out
every Issue, requiring over four tons
of paper. About fifteen people are en-
ployed regularly at the home Office
and two salaried solicitors are kept
constantly on the road. This company
also maintains offices in New York
Ci.y and Chicago, both in charge OF
competent salaried men.
The Dakota Farmer deals exclusive
" with Dakota agricultural topics and
no effort is made to extend the circu-
lation into other states. The pub
fishers claim that it is the only farm
paper in the world that thus restricts
it's circulation. This loyalty to Da-
kota interests has built up for them
constituency that is the groundwork
of their great success. In the minds
of many the Dakota Farmer ranks at
the very head of the farm papers OF
the country, but it is clearly the aim
of the publishers to still further i'm
prove the paper and extend its in
+, fluence in the interests OF better farm
ing until every true Dakotan shall
feelproud of his home paper.

EMERSON ON WALKING.

Few men know how TO take a. walk.
The qualifications of professor are
endurance, plain clothes, old shoes,
An eye for nature, good humor, vast
curiousity, good speech, good silence,
and nothing too much. If man tells
me that he has an intense love of ma
ture, know, of course, that he has
none. Good observers have the man
ners OF trees and animals, their pa
tient good sense, and if they add
words, t is only when words are bet
ter than silence. But a loud singer,
or a story-teller, or vain talker pro-
fanes the river and the forest. and is
nothing like so good company as a
dog.
When Nero advertised for a new
luxury a walk in the woods should
have been offered. 'Tis one Of the
secrets for lodging old age; for Ma

as on youth. Then recommend it

their will. A man in that predica-

among young people, is made quite
sensible of the fact; but the forest

! the brigands themselves maintain i'll
/ the army and police, but, above all, to
the native shrewdness and diplomacy
which they exercise in their dealings
with the people among whom they
reside.
Strange as it may seem, these meh
are highly respected and greatly
feared in their own towns, and they
can rely upon their townsmen, yes,
even upon many of the municipal
authorities, for protection, notwith-
standing that the latter, who are ex'
pected to arrest and punish Grim
inals, are we'll ryare of their
nefarious vocation.
The brigands constitute the besl
customers of the merchants, and they
are liberal to the poor. AS regards
virtuous, and bribery is not such a
heinous offence in Greece.
Neither force nor strategy could
avail against these diplomatic high
waymen. Finally the government de
terminei to adopt different tactics
against them. 1t was learned that
there often reigned great jealousy
between the different bands and also
internal feuds between the leaders
and the men. So it was thought
wisest to set price on the heads of
the so-called captains of the bands.
| This had the desired effect. Not
that the determination was a rapid
one, but gradually during the decade
one leader after the other has been
caught and their bands dissolved,
so that but one or two remain to this
day.
In each case it was found that the
reward was paid either to one of the
subordinate brigands belonging to the
| band whose leader was apprehended
or to one or two members of a rival
organization. In no case did any of
the townsmen of brigand captain
betray him. On the contrary, his
fellow-citizens put all possible
obstacles in the way of the govern
ment officers. This interference on
the part of the townsmen may be
ascribed to the proverbial con-
VITALITY of the criminals, who made
themselves exceedingly popular with
the people among whom they lived.
They never robbed any of their own
people, but conducted their oerations
far from home, and their victims were
most numerous among the many
tourists who either visit or pass
through Greece.
The RedoubtabIe Chiefs.
Tho most famous of the briganG
chiefs who are either now in prison
or wer executed, or were killed by
the officers whom they resisted were
Koutas, Velios, Papakiritzopoulos,
Tsekuras, Tsoulis.

photograph to be taken, was appre-
hended by the prosecutor-general him
