She Was Not an Adonis,

Miss Maud Adams was asked re-
Gently to assist in arranging for an
evening Of amateur theatricals which
some ladies of home missionary So
ciety were arranging to give. A very
pretty little girl who lives in the
neighborhood was described to Miss
Adams as peculiarly fitted for a GER
tain tableaux. Miss Adams called
upon the mother of the child, and in
explaining her mission, said:
Il hope you can let your daughter
take part. Everybody says she is q
remarkably pretty child
"Oh. yes, replied the woman, much
pleased, but evidently feeling that a
display Of modesty was in order; yes.
in yoah looks an general character
good looking. but, Miss Adams, after
all, she is not an Adonis. s.'-Harper's

The final rush TO the Rosebud reser-
vation-the rush that brings citizens
into South Dakota who will remain
permanently-has been in full swing
for the past few days
BY virtue of the extension which
was granted in February, President
Roosevelt made it possible for the
claimants to wait until the early part
of May before settling on the land,
and there is scarcely claimholder
who has not already arrived to begin
the spring work on his ranch.
The Chicago & Northwestern rail-
road has been running heavy trains
into Bonesteel from Norfolk, Neb., for
several days, all of them crowded to
the platforms with persons who have
come to stay. And besides the rail-
road passengers, hundreds have arriv-
ed in a constant stream OF emlgrant
wagons. many driving long distances.
Forty and Fifty Of these covered wag-
ons have been arriving at Bonesteel
every day.
The reservation. as a result OF this
phenomenal settling, has been trans
formed. Like great circus ground,
this vast prairie, including 4l6,OcO
acres, has suddenly, almost over night,
been dotted with hundreds and hun
dreds of little houses, and the pound
ing Of the hammer may be heard all
over the reserve from early morning
until late at night. All is hurry and
activity, such as is known only in the
building up of an entirely new coun-
try.

Soil changes with settlement and
cultivation. In the past thirty years
the area of sure crops has extended
steadily to the north and the west. In
the eastern and southern parts OF the
state it took from ten to twenty years
for the farmers to get the best results
from their land. 1t was not believed
that corn could be raised successfully
and fruit culture was not thought OF
until few years ago. Land offered
at prices ranging from $3.50 to $5 an
a drug on the market.
Lands to Fit the Pocketbook.
Land values in South Dakota cover
such a wide range that the investor is
able to find some land at any price he
has decided to pay. Improved land
may be bought at $40 an acre, and
from that price up to $35 an acre, ac-
cording to the extent Of improvements
and nearness to railroads. Unim
proved and grazing lands sell from S.
to $40 an acre.
South Dakota offers better advan
tages than lands farther north or far
ther south. The climate is neither hot
enough nor cold enough to be ener-
waiting. Crops are certain. To the
man who has energy, South Dakota
offers golden inducements.
During the recent depression, when
the money-lenders of the East were in
sore straits for money, when stocks
were depreciating to the extent of bill
lions of dollars and business houses
were failing or struggling to keep from
failing, land in South Dakota steadily
advanced in price, business houses
prospered. and the banks were full OF
money, which they loaned to Eastern
banks when security was satisfactory.
Money invested in South Dakota
land is safe. 1t neither burns up, nor
is blown away, nor is stolen. When
periods OF depression come, the land
owner rests in peace and plenty under
his own "vne and fig tree"
Land is the basis of all wealth and
cannot fail.

Shin on Fire Nine Months.

A most extraordinary story of a
derelict which has been burning and
floating about on the eastern seas has
recently come to light.
The Fannie Kerr was a four-masted
bark of 2,426 tons, built Of steel. She
left Newcastle in April, 1902. with a
cargo of coal for San Francisco. Aft
er she had rounded the Horn in safe
ty her cargo took fire somewhere
III the Southern Pacific, and after try.
ing for more than a month to extin-
guish the flames, the ship became so
hot that the captain and crew were
forced to abandon her and take to the
boats.
This was on June 6. They landed
at Kauai, an island of the Hawaiian
group, and made their way to Homo
lulu, where the captain made his re
port and the crew was discharged.
On March 10, 1903, the captain o1
the steamship Heathdede, bound from
Yokohama to Formosa, sighted yes
sci adrift from which smoke seemed
to arise.
Steaming forward, he found that she
was the long missing Fannie Kerr
which had been gradually drifting
westward several thousand miles fol
nearly nine months. and with hel
cargo still on fire--New York Herald

OPPORTUNITIES FOR MONEY MAKING
Area of Sure Crops in Dakota Extending North and West
Agriculture Thrves.

South Dakota is long on wealth but
short on people. There are splendid
opportunities for making money in
agriculture, in dairying, and especial
ly in the cattle business. These op-
portunities are to-day; they will not
last forever.
The center of gravity in the agri-
cultural world Is shifting. The fertile
fields Of the Dakotas are drawing to
their bosom the congested. burdened
people who once thought them worth
less. The climate Is sunny and tenn
rerate. Rains are sufficient and the
snow is light. Water Is abundant.
Every farmer can have artesian wells
for what a windmill and it's repairs
cost in the East. The flow of three
inch pipe Is sufficient to run a large
gristmill, and ten-inch pipe, costing
less than $4,000 to drill, would operate
q New England shoe factory or cot
ton mill When this water is distrib-
uted over the farm it supplements the
rainfall, and South Dakota never
knows failure.
Practically No Waste Land.
The soil of South Dakota east of the
Missouri river is a deep black loan
with a porous clay subsOil which
serves as a reservoir for moisture to
be given up in heavy dews when most
needed. Except in limited areas little
gravel is found, nor is the soil sandy.
There is no appreciable difference be-
tween the soil of South Dakota and
that of southwestern Minnesota and
northwestern Iowa.
The rainfall in nearly all of the
state east of the Missouri river is
ample to mature crops The United
States weather bureau gives record
OF seven consecutive years, showing
an average annual rainfall of from
eighteen inches to thirty-fve inches,
according to locality. The highest av-
erage Is confined to Clay and Union
counties, in. the southeastern corner
and to Brown, Edmunds and Wal
worth counties in the northern part.

Bonestecl business interests have

Among the new towns on the Rose

Earnest A. Jackson, son OF the for

The sensation in Bonestel OF a few
weeks ago, In which David Watkins,
the handsome young attorney. was
tried on complaint of Frank Uunne-
maker, his wife also being implicated
and trying suicide after the trial, has
quieted down and it is believed that
the case will rever go to the circuit
court although Watkins was bound
over. Watkins insisted that he had
been blackmailed, and a rope in the
courtroom. brought by his friends,

point. Watkins and Nunnemaker, who
took a shot at the attorney, are both in
Bonesteel, but Mrs. Nunnemaker has

COFFEE HEART.
Very Plain in Some People.

very RAIN IN some People.
A great many people go on suffer-
ing from annoying ailments for a long
time before they can get their own
consent to give up the indulgence
from which their trouble arises.
A gentleman in Brooklyn describes
his experience as follows:
II became satisfied some months
ago that | owed the palpitation of the
heart, from which l suffered almost
daily, to the use Of coffee q had been
a coffee drinker for 80 years., but !
found it very hard to give up the bey.
erage.
II realized that I must give up the
harmful indulgence in coffee but I
felt the necessity for a hot table
drink, and as tea is not to my liking. I
was at loss for awhile what to do.
'One day l ran across q very sen.
sible and straightforward presenta-
ton of the claims of Postum Food
Coffee, and was so impressed thereby
that | concluded to give it trial. NV
experience with it was unsatisfactory
till l learned how it ought to be pre-.
pared-by thorough boiling for not
less than Is or 20 minutes. After I
learned that lesson there was no
trouble. Postum Food Coffee proved
to be most palatable and satisfac-
tory hot beverage, and l have used it
ever since.
''The effect on my health has been
most salutary. 1t has completely
cured the heart palpitation from which
used to suffer SO much, particularly
after breakfast, and never have a re.
turn of it except when dine or lunch

in controversy.
The suit was instituted by the state
for the purpose Of ejectment and dam
ages. The property involved is an
eighty-acre strip appropriated to the
use of the state penitentiary.
The action Of the railroad company
was based upon section $40 of the civil
code, which authorizes railroad COM
panies to take and condemn school
and public lands Of the state" The
contention of the state Is that this
section does not authorize the taking
Of any property Of the state formerly
appropriated to another public use.
The state will advance other reasons
in support Of this when the case comes
to trial.
