REMARKABLE WELL.
New One at Chamberlain Flows 8,4s.
Gallons a Minute.

&fhOt - aLH 4
Chamberlain, S. D., May 23.-The new
artesian well 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 well is
an S-inch bore, $50 feet deep, and flows
8,497 gallons of water per minute. With
the pipe wide open 1t throws a solid
column of water twenty-five feet in the
air from the top of the pipe. reduced
to six inches a column or water Is
thrown up 60 feet, and reduced to three
inches a stream was today thrown
straight into the air 15S feet. When
closed the we'll has a pressure OF more
than 100 pounds TO the square 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 Well
in this city is the king Of them all, nor
is there a record of anything even ap-
preaching 1t.
Norbeck & Nicholson put Town the
Mcclure we'll in Stanley county. the
first well attempted west of the Mis-
souri, river. and they nnoun that
they have in view the drilling of q
NUMBER OF wells III tlc IdiiSC Souieiss
where until the drilling of the Mcclure
well it 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 1000 feet In
depth. but new machinery and appli-
ances In drilling originated by Norbeck
e. Nicholson nave greatly modified the
cost, and 1t is expected that the reduc-
ton in cost will result in the imrne-
diatssinking OF many wells in the
range country.

GIVING Away Cigars.

Into a cigar store came man to
whom, after a few words with him.
the dealer handed over cigar. which
the man lighted and walked OIL smok'
ing, but without paying for 1t.
do you give away cigars?" asked
a customer who had Just bought a
cigar
"Why. sure" said the dealer;
sometimes"
"Tramps?"
mo. not tramps. We couldn't have
tramps in the store, and If We gave to
tramps we'd be filled with them. But
we do occasionally give cigar or
piece Of tobacco to somebody that Just
simply hasn't got any money and
wants a smoke. I've seen the time
when I'd give a dollar for cigar. and
know what 1t is to want smoke.
So to one in those circumstances

A Touching Tribute.

In = tiny country village IN New
England woman died recently and
her relatives, friends and neighbors
decided that woman who had been
SO popular in life deserved something
out of the ordinary in the way Of a
funeral.
The village did not boast Of band.
but 1t had a drum corps, which was
hired to do honor to the occasion.
Solemnly it played on the way to the
cemetery, but on the return 1t was
asked to play something livelfer as a
sort OF quickstep home.
But the drum corps had made q
specially OF serious music and knew
only one lively air. However, 1t was
perfectly willing to play the only
cheerful bit of music 1t knew, and
the funeral procession went cheerily
home on the strains Of THE Girl l

DR.. ". s. Rainsford is a great salm-

he goes salmon fishing among the
Canadian rivers, in wild and remote
country where the people are quaint.
One day in Canada DR.. Rainsford
lunched with an aged farmer. His
watch had stopped. and he took 1t out
to set It by the tall hall clock that
stood In a corner. But this clock
proved. upon inspection, to be three
or four hours wrong.
"Your clock is wrong, isn't IT." said
DR.. Rainsford, politely.
Not bit wrong" replied the
farmer. Its you that don't under
stand it. When the little hands
straight up and the big hands
straight down, it strikes 10. but the
