Considering that Mrs. Dawson only

INDIVIDUAL HAS RIGHTS.
Judge Garland Hands Down an Import.
ant Decision.

Sioux Falls. s. u. July A.-Judge
John f. Garland. of the United States
district court for South Dakota has
just handed down a decision which will
be of general interest. The facts in the
case briefly stated are as follows:
On June %, 1903. Thomas Evans. a
farmer residing III Hutchinson county
near ParkSton. signed an order for a
threshing machine that he agreed to
purchase of the Minneapolis Threshing
Machine company. The price agreed
on in the order was $500. The day
after giving the order Nj. Evans mailed
Il letter to h company canceling the
order on account of what he considered
misrepresentation ON the part of the
representative of the company. The
company refused to pay any attention
to the countermand of the order and
shipped the machine To Parkston ac-
cording TO the contract. Mr.. Evans re-
fused TO accept the machine. The COM
pany then brought suit against Mr..
Evans i'm the circuit court of Hutch
inson county and after the trial had
proceeded TO y certain point the at
torney for Mr.. Evans moved to have
the case dismissed. The attorney for
he threshing machine company with
drew the case. and Immediately COM
menced another action in the federal
court in Sioux Falls to foreclose a
vendors lien. The testimony was
taken some time ago when Judge Car
lane took the case under advisement.
Judge Garland now makes a decision
which relieves Mr.. Evans from all
liability, thus establishing the right of
AN individual to cancel ar order of this
character.
Since the machine was shipped to
ston two years ago the
has allowed it to stand out in the
weather with 10 protection. and all
though the machine could have been
sold twice during that time. the COM
pany made no effort To dispose of it.
The company now has Il badly disfig-
ured machine on its hands.

WORK CVo9TeSe'uV naP'Uty OF sU0 tNSW
Line Between Rapid and Mystic.
Rapid City. 8. D., July lin spite of
the recent heavy rains the grading is
progressing rapidly on the new road
between Rapid City and Mystic. From
the temporary connection with the Bur-
lington which is about n mile and a
half west of Mystic, to Silver City, is
about six miles. On this section of the
work the grading will be finished in
about six week and 1t will hen be in
shape for the laying Of h rails.
There are two pile drivers at work
on the line. driving piles for the bridges.
and the bridges are being capped just
az soo as the piles are driven. AS
the recent heavy rains have swept
away all the bridges between Mystic
and Silver City, there may be some
little delay in finishing the line into
Silver City.
M. Day, the bridge contractor on the
new extension. stated that the tele-
phone line has been completed the full
length Of the road and owing to the
fact that the large rock cut on the road
has been completed. the construction
company now near Silver City will be
moved down near the Big Bend, and
the grading will be carried on from
there.

HOW TO u
Governor nourins,N SOo0 ,.

Governor nouginsNN SUI .usct.
From a place at the, os N voss. Nen
ut 4 mere pittance, williaei. coopleA Dous
has risen to the highest exeea N.,,ve
sition in the State OF Massachusetts,
that OF Governor, and has made him
self a millionaire. His rules and pre-
cepts of success are given by him
through the Boston Sunday American.
The Governor is interested in boys
and declares that these rules are given
FOR the benefit Of boys. The Governor
says:
=. Recently. in talking to a delegation Of
bricht-faccd boys. l told them that they
should. in order 10 make the most of life,
obey the old maxim, Stick to your last"
If YOU don't you'll find that old ogre,
called trouble. tohbing up in your path
way every now and then, and you'll
never get to be on speaking terms with
success. Fortune. you know, favors the
brave. In the battle of life the really
brave man is tie one with courage
enough TO stick to his last" in the face
of early rebuffs and temporary reverses.
He's the fellow who will eventually be
able to laugh al trouble and to get chum-
my with success. What would you think
OF a shoemaker who. after making part
OF a shoe on one last, became dissatis-
he'd and started another shoe on Il diff
ierent last. keeping up this method until
he had finally spent all his money for
stock and had nothing but a lot of half
finished shoes 10 show for it. Foolish
way to do. isn't it? But it's no more
foolish than for a young man to tackle
a new line Of business every little While
until he grows too old to learn any busi-
ness thoroughly.
Everything in nature is fitted to do one
thing Wei and spends lis whole life dos
l1g II. You never hear Of the ant going
into the h~oney-making business; nor of
The bee building ant hills for a change.
Each one knows its place in the world
and sticks to it. and that is what boys
must do if they would accomplish great
things. Nearly every boy at an early
age displays an aptitude for something.
and if that aptitude is properly devel-
oped the process of selecting a last is
simplitied. And remember always to
keep your ambition up to the top notch.
Whatever yon do. try to do it better
than the other fellow. AT school make
ii a point 10 stand at the head of your
class: and at play don't be satisfied until
YOU can jump the farthest or throw the
straightest. Then when you enter bust
ness life this matter of getting ahead
will become a habit.
Now another thing to think about is
this: Don't try to do what you like-do
what you can. That's a good compan-
ion piece for stick to your last" Don't
let the attraction of something you don't
know lure you away from tie thing you
do. Do what you can and stick to it.
That's wisdom.

JLawyers' Fees,

New York World: The fee of "a cool
Million" which Wall street guesses
that William Nelson Cromwell will get
for his services as counsel for the Pam
anna Canal company. may not be re-
garded as eXorbitant. The safe guild
ance OF the interests of the French
company" during intricate negotiations
called for legal skill of the kind which
attains its highest development in cor
poration practice.
This, 1t is believed, is the highest
figure in lawyers fees, realizing In cash
what Max pam was to have received
In "cOllateral' for his Services in the
Bethlehem shipbuilding trust affair. Its
size is significant of the commercial ex-
pansion of the past quarter OF a CEN
fury. The $500, 900 received by John T..
Parsons for organizing the sugar trust,
deemed excessive at the time but jus
titled by the law-defying substantially
comment.
Crime no longer old out such legal
rewards as are offered by commerce.
The lawyers who defended Whitaker
Wright got only about $25, 900 for their
services. Garfield was reputed to have
paid John B. Stanchfield $50. 900 for dis
solving the injunction against him.
John G. Carlisle got SIS, 900 for his con-
duct of the Preston Beal ase before
the Kentucky our of appeals. In the
scale OF fees these correspond only to
those paid in the lesser litigation of
corporations not yet expanded to trust
size. Suits involving large estate yield
counsel returns partly commensurate.
The Fiske will case against Cornell
university cost the heirs $4OO. 900. The
legal expenses in the Fair will case are
said to nave amounted to $500, 900.
The prevailing higher rate OF legal
compensation is indicated in the coun-
sci fees of $25, 900 allowed by the court
in a recent local divorce case. But Mr..
Cromwells fee, II it really is to be a
million, represents more than the av-
erage yearly income Of 1000 young law.

CROP OUTLOOK is GOOD.
Poor Fields Are the Exception, Not the
Rule.

Fergus Falls. Mimi. July 1.-THE
crop outlook in this locality continues
to be encouraging, regardless of the
rains. Occasional fields show short.
yellowish grain, but these are the e~-
ception. In general, the grain is thick
and heavy. and is about ready to head.
Occasional fields are beginning to show
heads. and the heads promise we'll.
This locality has not had as much
rain as the southern part of the state.
the official record for June being AS
inches. whereas Minneapolis shows 7.2l
and other localities more.
The thinnest and poorest grain is on
sandy soil. One Is unable to account
for this, as 1t would naturally be SUM-
posed that the sandy land would absorh
moisture more readily and that crop.
there would be improved by plenty Of
water. Barring rust, this county WIN
raise a good crop.
