ALL IN DARKNESS
Pierre Hauls Her Friends to Town
Under Cover of DARKNESS
for a Purpose.

Nermillion Republican: We pre-
sumo you have heard of the crowds
of curious citizens who are visiting
Pierre these days at the expense OF
the Northwestern railway. But have
you noticed that the excursions are
usually made on Saturday,-just in
time tc see Pierre at It's best or worst
as a wide-open Sunday town. Visit
ors are run in there Saturday night
aud out Monday morning before day
light, which precludes their seeing
the astonishing possibilities of the
surrounding sofia peculiarly mar
velous soil, since it is overlaid with
eumbo and underlaid with eas. Pas
songer trains arrive .aad depart from
Pierre in the darkest part of the
night. But to overcome this little
cloud on the eycursionists' vision
they have filled a shanty with gain
and garden stuff grown. ON an ilrigat-
ed patch in Sully county which is
palmed off on the u%nsuSpecting Wis
itors as the average products of the
uactioEs meadows of Bison Greek or
Bad Lands Gulch or some other az
ricultural paradise located in the i'm
mediate vicinity of the present state
capital. We understand Pierre is
making a speciality of Sunday eNcur-
sions, with the town operating on
the most liberal system possible in
order that every body may feel
good" We presume almost any kind
of IA graft is permitted. if it brings
in a contribution to the capital fund.

oN London Bridge.

Old London bridge was q monstros-
tty. 1t dated back to the year 1176 A.
D., and at least three wooden bridges
are known to have occupied the same
site prior to that date.
The old bridge was slightly over 900
feet in length. and had eighteen solid
stone piers, varying in thickness from
twenty-five to thirty-four feet thus
combining the flow of the river to less
than half it's natural channel. The en-
tire surface of the bridge was occu-
pied by blocks of brick and stone build
ings-erected on arches, with the road
way running tunnel-like beneath
some Of them four stories high. All
Of these bridge buildings were densely
packed with human beings-at one
time estimated at l~,700-carrying Oh
all the trades and other vacations of
life. Spanning the two enter piers
was a huge church building, dedicated
to st. Thomas of Canterbury, but usu-
ally styled st. Peters of the Bridge.
In very early time the arch opening
from the bridge toward the city was
called Traitors gate" and it was no
unusual thing to see the heads of a
dozen executed criminals hanging
over it.

The Faculty.

The growth of Mitchell has de-
manded a larger teaching force than
ever before and where a few years
ago thirteen teachers were employed
in the schools the number now reach
es twenty-five, and an exceptionally
strong faculty has teen engaged for
the years work. Mltchell,s schools
have a fine reputation ovey the state
for thoroughness and up-to-date
methods, and on this account a great
many people have moved here from
various points to give their children
the advantages Of good school facil-
titles.
Prof. Il. II. Hotf is at the head OF
the faculty as the SUPERINTENDENT. and
his first year Demonstrated his abil-
ity to conduct the schools on a sue
cessful and progressive plan. Miss
Mary Windie has charge OF the mu-
sic and the teachers in the various
departments. This is IA growing
feature of the schools and in a short
time the good effect will be notice
able. Good progress was made last
year and it will be vastly increased
this year.

Christmas Fenstins In Old Times.

There are certain dishes which are
peculiarly dedicated by custom and
tradition to the Christmas feast. The
plum pudding is almost the sole sur
vivor of a long list OF equally savory
ones. There was the boar's head, al
ways the herald of the feast and al
ways seasoned With mustard. Next in
Importance was the peacock. The skin
was carefully stripped off, with the
plumage adhering. The bird was then
roasted. When it was done and had
cooled it was served up again in its
feathers and with gilded beak was
sent to the table. Sometimes the whole
body was covered with gold leaf and a
piece of cotton saturated With spirits
placed III its beak and lighted as it
made its gorgeous entry. The noble
bird was not served by common hands.
That privilege was reserved for the
lacies most distinguished by birth and
beauty. Geese, capons. pheasants and
lies Of carps' tongues also helped to
set out the Christmas tsble IN days
