point against himself, is broad minded
and pretty sure to possess the great
saving sense of humor. Such a man
was Henry Ward Beecher, and the

Al country Clergyman called on the

about what to do with persons who go

GOLDFISH IN JAPAN.
The Demand FOR Them Appears to
BE Almost without Limit.

Although the goldfish occurs in a
Wild state in Japan, it is probable that
China some 400 years ago furnished
the stock from which the wonderful
varieties Of Japanese goldfish have
been bred. 1t is reported that in feudal
days, ven when famine was abroad in
the land and many people were starv-
Ing, the trade in goldfish was flourish
ing.
The demand at present appears to be
without limit, and the output shows q
substantial increase each year. Many
thousand people make n living by grow-
Ing goldfish for market, and hundreds
OF peddlers carry the fish through the
streets and along the country roads In
wooden tubs suspended from a shout
der bar.
The leading goldfish center is Kori-
yama, a the ancient capital Of Nara.
Here are $50 independent breeding es-

Former Governor Odell, of New
York, and chairman Of the repub-
lican state central committee,
makes a charge against President
Roosevelt that is not very much
credit to the former governor. He
declares specifically that the Presi-
dent and Governor Higgins have
made a deliberate attempt to wreck
the republican party in that state
for their own personal ambition.
The row is over the selection of a
speaker for the house. The charge
of the former governor will not last
long for the people will not listen to
what they will consider an effront-
cry on his part. The former govern.

4 SUPERIOR ENGAGEMENT
Opportunity of Securing Miss Roselle
Knott in One of the Most
Popular of Plays.

Manager Nichols has an opportuni-
Ity to ecure Miss Roselle Knott for
an appearance in ''When Knighthood
Was in Flower for the evening OF
January 8, and he is in a quandary
whether to make the contract for
her coming, as it will take over s4OO
to get her.to Mitchell. AS an actress
Miss Knott occupies a higher place
in the dramatic world than Nanette
Comstock, who appeared here in the
"Crisis'' a few months ago, and we
remember distinctly that the people
we're abundantly satisfied with her
and her company. She was greeted
by a very large audience, but 1T
would take a larger one to secure
Miss Knott. This actress has APP
peared in many of the leading success
SEES Of the east, where she is regarded
as exceptionally good IN her work.
She IA Lygia in the original Quo
Vadis COMPANY, in which she secured
unusually favorable criticism from
all %centers. Later she was Empress
Josephine IN "More Than Queen,n
Nourmale in the "Che1ry Pickers."
Katinka in "a Modern Magdalen,s
and Kate in sstousin Kate all
plays that are the best in the dra-
matte sphere. Several Mitchellites
saw Miss Knott in her new play in
Minneapolis several months ago and
they were free to say that she ap-
peared to a better advantage that
Miss Comstock. We trust that Man
ager Nichols can be assured by those
who admire the higher classes of the
drama that he will be justified in
getting Miss Knott for the date mem
toned.

TO HELP STATE GUARD
Bill Introduced in Senate Will Double
he Appropriation of Govern
ment for State Guords.

Watertown Public-Opinion: Adj
jutant Geneal EnglesEy has received
from Congressman Martin a copy of
a bill which has just been introduced
in the senate of the United States
by Senator Dick of Ohio providing
for an appropriation of two million
dollars to keep up and maintain the
national guard of the nation. The
bill is an amendment IN reality to
the Dick DILL passed at the last .ses-
sion. and by reason Of which the
South Dakota national guard is now
receiving an annual evenu of ap-
proximately 81, 1000. 90.
The amendment provides for Just
double the appropriation of the orig
inal bill. and should it go through
the house will give South Dakota
about Sl6, OOO.O 90 annually. 1t also
broadens the original in the matter
of the uses to which the money NAV
be put. The first bill has been found
to be somewhat narrow in its provi-
siOns and the manner IN which it
may be spent too limited to make it
of the most possible benefit. There
fore the amendment will only double
the amount but make 1T more USE
full by reason of being available for
more needs Of the organization.
Congressman Martin says that II
the bill gets through the senate he
believes that 1t will pass the house
without great difflculty.

bill requires that the sanitarium to
be located either at Pierre or Fort
Pierre, and $4,000 be appropriated
for the erection and equipment of the
building. His idea in having it To-
Gated at either one of those places is
because OF It's central location with
