Right Living and Good Looks.

Today our great cities show proper
tionately a higher average of dress and
general striving after personal attrac-
~tiveness among both men and women
than the great cities Of any other coun-
try.
Success depends in the largest meas
ure upon health and the personal i'm
preston one makes upon his fellow
men, and properly to develop and to
maintain the points that make for
personal attractiveness is to develop
and maintain health.
For example, how many men and
women stop drinking and %overeat-
ing because fat is fatal to good looks?
The struggle to keep looking young is
a struggle to keep in perfect health.
And what a blessing that is to the
present and all future generations!
The price of good looks is right llv-
ing, and the reward of right living is
health.-Saturday Evening Post.

Epiphany, S. D., Dec. 8.-Father
William Kroeger the noted priest
healer, died today of dropsy. DR..
Kroeger was about 60. His funeral
will be held Saturday, and the under
standing is that his remains will be
taken to Illinois, where his relatives
live, for interment.
DR.. Kroeger's nam is well-known
over the country, he having healed
thousands of persons in the last ten
years that he had been practicing
medicine. 1t vas about fifteen years
ago that he located at the little inland
village of Epiphany as the priest OF
the Catholic church. He had received
a fine education as a physician In the
old country and as he went bou his
parish duties he frequently prescribed
for his parishioners and always with
remarkable success. The cases were
rare that did not yield to his skill
and they began coming in such great
numbers that it was almost impossible
for him to attend to his church duties.
About seven years ago DR.. kroeger
commenced the construction OF build
inos that today cover a large area.
He had a sanatorium that is not r
passed in the northwest. 1t is l6O feet
long, with an L portion fully as long.
The building is heated with steam and
equipped with sewer connections. 1t
was necessary to care for the people
who came in crowds, and hotel ac-
commodations being limited in town,
DIR. Kroeger built two large hotels.
He has also constructed an icemaking
plant and a large watertower to dis
tribute water throughout his build
ings. Recently he purchased an ex-
pensiye printing plant to do his own
printing, for he was the patentee OF
remedies that are sold in all parts OF
the United States, and are even ship
ped to Europe. Shortly after estab-
fishing his printing Office he started a
newspaper which he circulated extern
sively. The investment that Or. Kroe-
ger had at Epiphany is estimated at
9175. 900,

The Noisy Birds Of the Night.

All the night birds are noisy. They
cannot consort with one another in
happy companies, as do the warblers
and thrushes and inches, and sing and
whisper, but must call loudly and long
to one another in the darkness. On
coasts where petrels and certain other
night hunting sea birds abound, all
day sitting on their egg or hiding in
burrows, you will hear no sound from
morning till night, but after dark the
air Is filed with shrill cries. The loud.
reiterated calling Of the southern
DISQUALIFICATION and of it's northern
cousin is familiar. A whippoorwill
will sound its cry several hundred
times in succession without a pause.
Owls boot or utter a harsh sort Of
laughter, rarely pleasant to listen to,
and night herons and bitterns squawk
and boom. Sweet songs occasionally
heard in the darkness are those Of
wakeful day birds, as the nightingale
or our own oven bird.-Ernest IngerSoll
in Harper's Magazine.

The Northwestern railroad is
making arrangements to hold
pure seed meetings in every
part Of the state traversed by
their lines. 1t will run a special
train, in charge of A. G. Johnson,
who will be accompanied by
NJ. F. Greedy and Professors
Wilson and Wheeler of the South
Dakota Agricultural College.
The train will be fully equipped
for the work and the professors
and Mr.. Greedy will demonstrate
to farmers the best method for
securing seed, and the impor-
lance of using pure seed for
better crops. From
one to three meetings will be
held 10 each county. This is
in line with the method adopted
in Iowa and their corn specials
were largely attended and have
in much good. Owing
to the rust in last years crop,
the seed question is an important
one for the coming season.

The shooting of the convi

The shooting of the convict
White at the Sioux Falls peniten-
tiary a short time ago has been
dwelt upon by some newspapers
of the state with the intimation
that the action was criminal.
The fact is that the man was at
tempting to murder the deputy
warden when he was shot. The
prison officials have to deal with
the most hardened criminals,
some of them partaking more
of the demoniac than of reas-
enable human beings, and they
court death rather than submis-
sion to law of any kind. There
should be no wasted sympathy
on such characters.

The recent National Irrigation
Congress took an advanced stand
on the public land question in
the west. It declared for the
repeal of all the land stealing
laws-the timber and stone law,
the desert land law, the commu-
tation clause of the homestead
law and the forest reserve script
law. 1t proclaimed that the re-
naming government land should
be held for real settlers and that
the present programme of allow
ing the land grabbers the first
chance should cease.

CarlxIe,s Courteous Side.

In the "R~etrospects" of Professor
William Knight Of the University of
st. Andrews are some interesting anec-
dotes. Among these is a bit from a let
ter by DR.. Maclagan, who attended
Thomas Carlyle during Carlyle's last
years: "My personal experience of Car
lyle was this: He was the most courte-
Gus man l ever met. Never once did
that old man fail to rise up to receive
me nor allow me to leave his room
without walking to the door with me
while he had strength to do so. After
death all the ruggedness and the wrin-
kles disappeared from his face. But
for the beard it was like that Of a wo-
man. so delicate and beautifully mold
cd It was.'

The state of Mississippi should

the President of the United

communities they represented,
the courtesy was universally

chair in Mississippi, who sent
the following response to the
courtesy extended to the Mis-

William Shoup, of Waldron,
Ind, has a goldfish farm from
which he makes $50, 900 a year;
at rough guess he must have
$50, 900 fish. William Griswold,
a public official Of ST. Louis, has
a worm farm. This farm con-
sists of only two large packing
cases, but is stocked with about
10, 900 worms, which are used as
bate by sportsmen. T. Y. John

5000 pigeons every year. This
farm is eight acres in extent and

said to be the most beautiful of

Senator Platt's bill for the re-
duction of southern congression-
al representation is stirring up
much excitement among south
ern senators and congressman.
They propose to throw out the
votes of ninety pc: cent of the
negroes and some poor whites
and still send congressman to
represent the full population.
Senator Platt is something of a
humorist. There is no posi-
bility of the passage of his bill
at this session but he appears to
enjoy the fright of his demo
cratic colleagues.
