ENOUGH MYSTERY
Magic and Mischief Work in tho

~ (Prize.) j.

WHEN very young I had
w heard that. if one took a
child to a secluded spot, poured
black ink into his hand and asked
about anything one wished to
know, he would find out by look
ing into the ink. I firmly be-
lieved in this, altho everybody
ridiculed my heathenish idea"
as they called it. When about
nine years old, I had an oppor-
tunity to show the power of tho
ink. My brother had gone on a
dangerous journey and nothing
had been heard Of him for a long
time, so, taking bottle Of ink
and my little nephew far into
the woods, I poured ink into his
hand and naturally, some over
his dress. After asking several
questions about my brother, I
inquired if he did not see any
thing. eyes, I see auntie,' he
answered He had seen my re-
Fiction in the ink as I was anx-
iously bending over him, alb
sorbed in the mystic powers Of
the inky depths. Just as I was
telling him to look again, to my
modification I saw my sisters
mirthful face peeping at me from
some bushes. Breaking into
peals Of laughter she exclaimed,
"Won't you catch it, tho, when
mother hears about what you
have been doing and after tho
talk about the ignorance Of SUI

A Historical Curiosity.

J. w. Turner recently purchas-
ed OF a gentleman from Charles
Mix county a curiosity that is OF
rare historical interest. II is a
silver medal of the kind given 10
the Indians while Thomas Jeffer-
son was president OF the uaited
States. The medal was found on
land recently purchased from the
Indians, and is supposed to have
been in the grave Of great-grcat
grandfather of the Sioux Chief
Standing Bear. The medal is Of
solid silver and is in a splendid
state of preservation. Ii Is about
three and onc-half inches in dia.
meter. On one side is a beauti.
fully embossed relief OF President
Jefferson and the words, "1h.
Jefferson. President of the u. y,
A. ID. 1901" On the other side
are two hands claspcd and above
them a tommahawk and peace
pipe crossed and the words.

Mile Square Homesteads.

Sioux Falls Argus Leader: a
favorable report has been made by
the senate committee of the Mar
tin Gamble bill for milc-square
homestcads in the range country
west of the Missouri river in South
Dakota. Slight amendments have
been made OF the house bill, one
requiring the breaking of eight
acres tor each of the FIVE years.
and another allowing 64o acres
only to heads OF families, single
persons being allowed to home
stead but $40 acres. The bill had
already been so amended that
homesteaders could not take lands
in a narrow strip along water
courses, and now practically ali
hostility to the measure has dis
appeared.
We believe that the passage Of
this measure in the present form
would prove to be of immense
benefit to the state. 1t will be a
long time before that section OF
the country will be developed I'M
der the old homestead act. We
believe. however, that Uncle Sans
offer of a homestead will arouse
widespread interest, and that I'M
der these conditions the lands will
90 like hot cakes at a hurry up
restaurant. IL the Rosebud open
ing with only two thousand FIVE
hundred quarters could call out
10000 applicants, VIC should be
inclined to believe that a mile
square offer in a rich cattle coun-
try would draw out a much greater
number OF land seekers. The
practical effect OF the measure
would be to hasten the actual set
Element of the country, and to
bring upon the tax rolls of the
state thousands of acres which are
now public lands. In the end the
opening of the range country 20
general settlement is certain to
mean a railroad across the old
reservation and into the Black
Hills country.
The South Dakota delegation is
working in harmony and with
carnestness for the bill and the
present prospect is that their
efforts will be crowned with sue
cess,

In Better Shape.

Some amendments have been
attached to the Parmley bill for
the establishment and maintenance
OF farmers Institutes, at the in
stance of the author OF the bill,
and il is now in much more &C
ceptable shape than it was origin
ally.
The membership of the pro-
posed institute board has been
reduced from six TO three and il is
provided that the board shall be
composed of two members of the
board of regents of education and
the president of the state agricul-
tural college.
IL is understood that Mr.. Parm
ley is in favor of making a mem.
Der of the faculty of the agTicul-
tural college superintendent Of
institutes and thus effect a saving
of the $1,000 annual salary con-
templated in the original bill.
With the proposed amendment
and the actual amendments incor-
porated in the measure, it would
be shorn of the objects lodged
against it. Mr.. Parmley is evil

institute law that will be effective
in its practical operation and give

b~erlain's Cough Remedy. 1t is almost
sure to be needed before winter is
over, and much more prompt and sat

taken as oon as a colo is contracted
and before it has become settled in

by keeping the remedy at hand. This
remedy is so widely known and SO
altogether good that no n should
hesitate about buying it in perfer-
ence to any other. It is for sale by

Were southeastern New Mexico on
nected by a direct railroad with the
central part of this Territory, say
by an extension of the Santa Fe Cen
trail from Torrance to Roswell, the
attendance at the fair would be very
great. Despite this drawback of in
direct and difficult communication
between the two sections, the fair
will be well attended, as the Pecos
Valley and Roosevelt county nov
have a SUFFICIENT population to admit
OF the visits OF several thousands of
people on the occasion. The Pecos
Fair is all right.
