Burvce has already caught
OF them and the skins have
brought him an average OF seventeen
cents apiece. One OF John Forbes
boys caught l02 rats in three DAYS,
getting as many as seven from one
house. Others have caught from five
hundred to one thousand each.
John Void Of Litchyille, N. o., has
the honor Of paying the first subscrip-
tion to the GRAPHIC for 1904-except-
ing OF course several who are paid
several years head. Mrs. Vold's sub
scription-and a new one-written on
the Norbeck Artesian Well company's
letter heads-came Oh New Years
eve. PIG. Delire was the first one at
home to get a 1904 receipt-but there
was a whole lot more right after him.
We think Mr.. Delire was the Airst sub.
scriber to pay his subscription in 1903.

Mrs. Cynthia Samuels has got her
name in the papers all right. That
local of the GRAPH1C's about her
narrow escape from a ducking in her
ctstern was sent to all the eastern
dailies of note by the Sioux Falls as
soclated press man, and Mrs. Samuels
is given credit for being the only
woman to show any benefits from the
physical culture fad. But not a
word was sent about her gallant
rescuer, MI. Peter Smith. Any fellow
that could yank a woman out OF a
clstern hole with one hand like he'd
snatch a rag doll from an empty
barrel is something on physical Gull
ture 'shisseIf."
Put us down as thorouTy in favor Of
the new way of spelling. In looking
thru our exchanges we have often thof,
that II every writer would spell by
sound there would be less cause for
comment. That's rite.-Hudson Tri-
bune.
Ycs,the spelling is horrible-but most
~ through carelessness-though the
average compositor is prone to knock
the best speller out at the first round.
We notice that the judge has one Of
this kind. We find in the same issue of
the Tribune that "Ravin' Jamie" has
received a letter with a request on al
''%seperate" sheet and advises another
fair correspondent 10 wear ssfeesen

Referring to a shipment of carp to
Sioux City by a farmer neal Plankin-
ton, the White Lake Wave says:
That's the kind of a fish story we
like TO hear. Now let some of our
farmers who have artificial lakes pre-
pare to do likewise. Uncle sam will
furnish you the seed.
So long as the nasty carp 20 out of
the country instead Of in, it's a good
story to hear, The farmer who stocks
his pond with the mpd-tasting things
is fish crazy. The carp are the hogs Of
the water; destroy the spawn of ali
other fish, and, while quick to mature
are no good when raised TN stagnant
water. There are plenty better
varieties.
In the Than home are some gera.
NUNS in three windows, started from
One window faces the east and
two. Of them the south. The plants in
the east window are much more
thrifty and better color. Do you
know the reason, Mrs. Housewife who
cares for plants? Well tell you. The
sun is too hot on the plants IN the
south windows. The heat bakes the
earth and scalds the tender. roots.
Plants so placed will thrive better II
several thicknesses of papers are
wrapped about the pots. A better way
yet is to place the pot in another
larger me This will prevent the
sun from heating the pot containing
the plant.
Geo. Richardson Of Lyman county
a former resident of Kimball's yicini-
ty-suffered a severe accident bY the
premature discharge of a revolver. 1t
dropped from his pocket on the floor
OF his house and the ball went into
his leg. Blood poison sent it and it
was necessary to take him to the Sioux
City hospital for treatment. An oper-
alton was performed and at last ac-
counts he was getting along very we'll.
MI. Richardson had almost as bad a
time when a Jack of his bit him on
the hand about fifteen years ago. He
had to choke the beast loose. Blood
poison set in. and he came near losing
his hand and the injured member has
been partially crippled since.
