7 T WAS an unusually fine day. Amos
Perry looked up at the sky. and
Il across the sunny fields. and told
himself that life was well worth liv-
ing He took these glances in a hur-
ried way. because his attention was
bile. The road was good, and he was
bowling at a rapid clip that forbade
either his eyes or his wits wandering
from the subject Immediately at hand
He had been riding. with infrequent
stops. since that morning. and 1t
was now early afternoon.
Il must be nearing the Cravings. -
he said. half aloud. as he stole another
glance at the landscape. They told
me at that last roadhouse that it was
the second place at the left beyond the
creek. All. that must be the creek"
He whirled across the little bridge.
and slightly slackened speed. There
was a sharp curve just ahead. so sharp
that for a second or two he could not
see the road beyond. AS he few around
this. turn he suddenly became aware
that a woman on a bicycle was just
ahead OF him. leisurely riding in the
very middle Of the narrow roadway
There was but one thing to do. Amos
did it.
When he opened his eyes he was lying
in the ditch where the machine had
flung him when it slid down the incline.
There was face near his-a blurred
face that was quite indistinct. His lips
moved The face came lower.
"Did-did we gain?'' he unsteadIy
whispered.
Somebody was fumbing at his collar
and then his head was raised as he was
drawn a little back. His head ached
dreadfully and there was a strange
mist before his eyes.
"I'll be all right when I get my wind. -
he slowly murmured. Let everybody
stand back and give me air
Then something cool was laid on his
forehead and his face felt wet
Was it Stiilman that fell on me?' he
asked. Didn't think he was so heavy.
I'll be back in the game in minute.
Gain all the time you can. Jack. old
man"
Somebody was tumbling his nair;
somebody whose swift fingers passed
here and there.
The second house beyond the creek, -
he said Must look out for il. That s
where Shelden's sister lives. Going 10

You are not to talk too much said
the girl.
But Amos did not heed the admoni-
ton.

said. II didn't catch a good look at

Thank you. am sure Sheldon
wouldn't mind. But you're not the least

The girl smiled a very charming
smile.
"A sick room should put check to

said.
But I'm rot really sick said Amos.

Removal Is for the Best Inter.
csts of the State

All that Pierre expects to do is to
try and blind the people of the state
to the actual facts and scatter false
statements, knowing that she can't re-
fute a single argument made by Nit
chell: nor has Pierre attempted to deny
the Reputation charge or DELINQUENT
tax lodging or of escaping taxation.
Pierre had nothing to say only that
the capital ought to remain at Pierre:
1t is needless to bolster up a condition
that has disgraced the state. Pierre
asks the people to approve repudia-
tion second time, but the people of
South Dakota will never do it. 1t is
bad enough to have the whole state
slandered by Pierre's repudiation of
honest obligations, but to approve
Pierre's reputation, when the people
know the facts, would be an act the
people would never get away from.
The people of South Dakota are
honest and pay their debts. Pierre's
reputation of honest obligations
called the attention of financiers all
over the country as to the cause, and
thousand men, if so inclined, with
voice and pen. could not have injured
the country west of Pierre so much as
the black and cowardly robbery of
those who loaned Pierre money to buy
up the location of the capital in 1890.
Pierre has nothing but a purchased
and corrupt claim on the capital, and
under our laws an individual guilty of
Pierre's methods would be in the PEN
itentiary.
The removal of the capital from
Pierre will injure no one who has an
honest occupation. 1t will not iniure
the country. 1t may bust up lot of
worthless town lot boomers, and this
will do Pierre some good if anything
will help town with such reputa-
tion.
If the capital was located at Elk
Point or in Roberts county, the
country west of Pierre would prosper
according to it's value for stock rails
ing, just as it has in the past.
The Leader has no desire to run
down any part of our beautiful state,
but when Pierre accuses those who
favor Mitchell with s'knocking' what
ever that means, she knows why the
truth is demanded by the honest tax
payers of the state.
Pierre goes into fits when the truth
is told. Canton Leader.

Senator A. B. Kittredge spent
few hours in town Monday
evening while waiting for train
on his return from a trip up
the branch to Sisseton. The
Senator is looking we'll and en-
joying run over the state, and
getting braced up on South
Dakota ozone, while keeping in
close touch with his cons tituents
and learning their needs. By
the way, our South Dakota
people are somewhat proud of
Senator Kittridge, who though
one of the Youngest members of
the senate, and representing one
of the newer states of the union,
has had an important part in the
shaping of pending legislation,
and his ability has been recog-
nized in the senate by his ap-
pointment on some of the most
important committees of that
body.

Lecture Course

A cause meriting the support
of the public is the lecture course
which the young people of the
Christian Endeavor Society and
and the Epworth League are
securing for this community
during the season now opening.
This project has been under
taken with the laudable purpose e
to supply musical aud literary
entertainments of the frs
quality rather than in the ex-
pectation of making money.
Nearly enough season tickets
have been sold, however, to
warrant the outcome financially.
Excellent talent has been secured
for all four of the mum bers, and
the date for. the first entertain
ment is Friday evening, Oct
21. Williams Original Dixie
Jubilee Singers, one of the very
best companies of colored musi-
clans now travelling. are booked
for this occasion. These people
are cultured and refined and
have been educated in some o1
best cOnServatOries in America
Their program of Negro melo
dies, comic songs, as we'll as
sacred and classical selections
cannct fail tc delight al. levers
of music SO fortunate as to heal
them. All numbers of tht
course will be given in the Con
9regational church. Single ad
mission so cents. Season ticket.

The Twin Brooks News, Mr..
Rabbits personal organ, pub
lished a letter from Judge Nc
Coy stating that Mr.. Rabbit is
capable of perfor ming the duties
of clerk of courts. A peculiar
thing about the letter is that the
name of the person TO whom it
was addressed is not given. We
do not doubt the receipt of the
letter, but it is strange that Mr..
Rabbits friends are all afraid
to have it known that they have
any connection with him. Even
his political allies have dis
covered the public condemna
ton that rests upon him, aud are
anxious to assure the public
that they have no connection
with him.
