Power Of Habit.
"The successful
politician always
keeps his word"
"That isn't the
only thing he
keeps"
AS to Santa Claus.

Among the champion heavyweight
thinkers there is difference Of OPINION
as to whether we should string along
the innocent children with the pipe
dream or come out and tell them the
naked truth in regard to Santa Claus.
While it might look cruel to have the
truth going around naked at this sea-
son of the year, yet truth is not ten
der plant, being used to rough treat
ment. and that consideration need not
enter in.
The argument used against Santa Is
that it is wrong to tell even the small
est children a lie and that it tends to
destroy their confidence in their par
ents. This argument is generally used
by parents who tell their children that
a bear will get them If they are
naughty.
On the whole, perhaps it tends to de-
velop the child to tell him about Santa
Claus. The shock he gets when he dis
covers the truth may cause him to be
suspicious ever after and may prevent
him from buying alluring mining stock
later in life.

Hurnor ono Philosophy
By DUNCAN NJ. SMITH
Copyrieht, 1904, by Duncan VI. Smith.
SO UNAESIHETICAL.


Sheltered by a sloping hillside.
TEMPERED by the gentle breeze,
Nestled by sparkling rill side,
Shaded by the stately trees.
There q little life was nourished
All a pleasant summer through;
There it lived and grew and f1ourlshed
In the sun and rain and dew.
Glad It roved and sweet it s!umbered
Orb Of day and stars Of eve
Came and went by it unnu1nbered;
Naueht was there to fret or grleve.
So the little life waxed stronger.
Lusty grew and roamed around.
And the little legs grew longer
AS they tramped along the ground.
But there came, one day. stranger
To this sylvan. quiet spot,
And he saw the hillside ranger,
Marked its quiet. happy lot.
Marked the little life so lusty
Growing there in sun and shade.
AS the autumn days grew Gusty
He fendish bargain made.
And the little life was taken,
Rendered up to appetite;
Far too young it was for bacon.
But it proved great delight.
All the sun and rain auspicious.
Spanning summer time across.
Had evolved those things delicious.
Plump roast pig and apple sauce.

ssH.'' Seems Not We'll Posted.
TO the Editor of the Dispatch:

70 the Editor of the Dispatch:
White Rock, June 27, 1905
In the last issue of The Dispatch
We noticed an article, "Notes from
Hilton" signed "H", in which he
says, ''the Lutheran church at White
Rock has been closed since Rev. Mr..
Bsllentine left" From this article l
fear that MFR. 81. is not very we'll
posted in church affairs and especially
in the workings of dear old Beth !
pastorate, to which pestorate belongs
Mt Vernon or White RICK church,
or he would certainly not make any
such charges and statements as above
quoted.
We wish to assert that the doors
of White Rock church have not been
closed. We are sure that Rev. Bal
lentine has realized his words in 30
far as they referred to the church at
White Rock, and We feel sure he
same will apply to all the church's
in Bethel psetorate, in 90 far as be
expected until the services of a regu-
lar pastor could be secured in Bethel
pastorate.
The doors OF White Rock church
have been opened twice each month
for Sunday school, which has been
we'll attended and much interest
manifested by all who attended. We
have had two very appropriate and
interesting addresses made in the
interest of the Sunday school and
church work. The Woman's Home
and Foreign Missionary socie ,
meets in the church once month
and children's missionary society
meets once month. On the fourth
Sunday evening in May We had an
enjoyable and highly interesting
sermon preached by Rsv DR.. A. j.
Bowers, of Newberry College. This
service was we'll attended.
Mr.. 81. errs when he says that
White Rock church has called Rev.
Mr.. Kaigler. White Rock church is
only member or church in Bethel
pastorate and has never thought of
calling a pastor outside of the old
Mother Pastorate-Bethel Passionate.
This child-White Rock church
did heartily cooperate with the old
mother pastorate in calling Rev. Mr..
Kaigler to serve as pastor in this
charge and We ever pray that tie
good Lord may see fit to send Rev.
Mr.. Kaigler, or some other good man
to take charge and break the bread
of life to the people of this grand old
Bethel pastorate. Just here We wish
to add that our church at White
Rock has had the honor and pleas
ure of opening its doors to the Joint
Council of dear old Bethel pastorate
for the purpose Of calling pastor to
take up the work just where the
Rev. Mr.. Ballentine left off: With
these words of information to the
public, our remarks close, with the
! best wishes to the good old Dispatch

entitled Victim of Fraud" the follow
ing headline being William breiter
trades home for bogus title to a farm"
We desire to say that We are the
parties referred TO in this article who
made the trade with William Breiter
and his son-in-law Fred Hanson of
Rock Island but now of Aberdeen, 5.
D., whereby we conveyed to them GER
tain land in Brown county. s. D., and
accepted from them their equity in GER
tain mortgaSed Rock Island property
in lieu of a cash payment on the pur-
chase price of the South Dakota land.
AS part of the transaction we paid
off an incumbrance on their Rock ISL
and property. advanced them a large
sum of money with which to meet the
expense of their removal to their new
home and enable them to begin their
farming operations. and we also agreed
TO supply them with a complete farm
ing outfit upon their arrival on the
land.
Gave Perfect Title.
We owned the land absolutely and
submitted abstracts of title to Messrs.
Breiter and Hanson showing perfect
title. They removed to the land which
they found unOccupied. as We had re-
quired our tenant to vacate before
their arrival. They were put into i'm
mediate possession without any trou-
BILE, delay or difficulty of any kind
whatever They advise our local
agent that they are well pleased with
their purchase and have no intention
of leaving that country or abandoning
the deal. They are cheerfully and en-
ergetically at work on the land putting
in large crop, and since their arriv-
al on the farm we have supplied them
with a complete outfit of horses. farm
ing implements. feed, seed. etc, and
we are still engaged in selecting for
them a supply of mich cows to use on
the land. The statements and init
nations contained in the article pub
lfshed in your issue of May TO which
we refer to the effect that they were
defrauded and have lost their property
without consideration, are absolutely
false and without foundation.
