AS a sort of dying echo OF the
efforts of the primary election
league to overthrow things in
South Dakota it is announced
that two gentlemen in Huron--of
whom Dick Richards is one, OF
course. will endeavor to pur-
chase or establish newspaper IN
every county seat town IN the
state for the purpose of bolstering
up the waning political fortunes
of the gentlemen aforesaid. This
move will 8 die a-bornin, like
all others Of its kind in the past.
South Dakotans are now too en-
tirely satisfied with the splendid
state administration we are hav-
ing, and with our men IN con-
gress, to listen to the siren songs
Of the professional politicians,
the demagogues and the so-caIled
reformers, who have tried to make
politics business in this state,
but go far with i'll success. The
state is highly prosperous, its
people are we'll and wisely gov
erned, taxes are low, while the
per capita wealth is the highest

could be asked for? The profess
sional agitator cannot flourish un-
der such conditions. His stock
ia trade is, calamity, hard times,
and misgovernment, and nntilsuc
times as these conditions appear
in South Dakota he might as well
retire to the back ground and
mediate ON how to bring about
the situation that will lead to his
revival before the voters. Until
then he might as we'll seek other
employment, as sDad' Osborn
has done, but it is highly improb-
able that his services will be
needed in this state for years to
come. The efforts Of the certain
ambitious and aspiring Huron
gentlemen to create u political
diversion in their favor at this
time, therefore, will surely come
to naught, even though they
should be fortunate enough to en-
ploy the services and support OF
every newspaper in the state.

There was certain big, caressing
tone in his voice which unconsciously
made Sylvia bark back to the old
honeymoon days before she had dis
covered that marriage with him was
"a mockery." She took out her hand
kerchief, ridiculous bit of lawn and
lace, and touched her eyes furtively.
That's from the worlds viewpoint"
he continued. Then, there's the hus-
band. l judge from what you say, he
isn't wholly a rum lot Perhaps
even if he hasn't very fine, poetic
tastes-perhaps he also realizes that
he bores the woman he loves. Maybe
he does love her in spite of his blunt,
ordinary brusqueness. Maybe he thinks
all day at the Office how, if this or
that deal goes through, it'll mean
more dainty luxuries for her. Maybe
he hurries home after business hours
SO that he can put on his dinner
, clothes, knowing that pleases her fas-
tidious tastes and makes him a bit
more congenial to her. Perhaps, even
If he does pick up his newspapers,
and doesn't read poetry to her, it's
kind of paradise merely to have her
in the room with him. Some men are
made like that, you know"
There was another furtive mop with
the ridiculous little handkerchief. Why
did her husbands voice, when it was
tender, always have that mastery over
her?
And some evening" pursued that
masterful voice, when he has hurried
home, perhaps he finds pinned to one
OF his ties a note saying it's all been
mistake; that at last she's found a
man 'cOngeniaP to her and has run off
with him. And while the cook, all I'M
suspecting, is about to serve the din
srunned-turned out of paradise! The
worst of it is, Jack added, beginning
to pace slowly up and down the room,
the worst of it is, he'll never get rid
of the reproach that if he hadn't mar
ried her, and led her to make this mis-
take, she might always have been as
white and pure as swan" Silence.

that" there was a queer little
catch in Sylvia's voice; she could get
no further.
Eyes, DEAR" came her husbands
voice, tenderly. Tell her that per-
haps she made mistake in thinking
it's all mistake. A fellows not as
big as a womans first ideals of him
are; but he's usually bigger and bet
ter than she thinks when she's disil-
lusioned."
Sylvia had buried her face in the
sofa cushion and was sobbing out
right now. Her husband crossed the
room and, sitting beside her, began to
smoothe the little curls and tendrils
of her hair.

bit, tell her to love and be patient

In the beginning Sylvia had COM
planned to her husband one evening
as he slipped on his top coat:
Il don't see why you won't ever
wait and see Bert. Do you know, we
have a great deal in common; we are
very much alike"
GAS a woman, Sylvia, you're a po-
en-" replied Mr.. Browne, picking up
his stick. LAS man, you'd be tame
cat. For myself, don't like CATS
Unfortunately, Mr.. Browne was kept
extremely busy at his office these
days, and so Bertram, with his fine,
distinguished airs, his poetical tastes,
to make his innings. From the early
discovery that they were affinities, it
wasn't a great step to prove to Sylvia
that the laws of God and man were
interfering things at times and upon
proper prOvocation could be set aside.
Great love, like yours and mine"
he announced to her one day, sis born
of the vastness and loneliness of the
sea, and makes human conventions
utterly pointless."
Mrs. Browne was very unhappy and
miserable in spite of this uplifting an
nouncement. One morning at break
fast, as she was dangling cherry by
it's stalk just above her pretty lips
and making little snaps at it, her eyes
somehow fingered admiringly upon
her husbands chin. 1t was such a
firm, manly chin, and, after all, she
was such an undecided, dependent
sort OF little body, she sighed TO ner-
self. Yes, she would ask his advice
about the momentous question that
was knocking at her door for a decis-
ion.
Jack" she began, gulping down her
cherry, 81 want your advice about
something. A girl l know is in trou-
bic, and II don't know exactly what
to tell her to do. You don't mind my
not mentioning her name, Jack?"
Much rather you didn't" said he.
He laid down the paper he was read
ing with the disappointed air of man
who has left the stock market unread
and began slipping his coffee.
How blunt and uncouth he was!
But then, for the matter of that, even
in the old, dear, sweetheart days,
hadn't he always been that? What
could have been more blunt than the
way he had told her first that she was
the prettiest girl he'd ever seen? Syl-
via tried to compare the remark un-
fiatteringly with Bert's way of telling
her that cher eyes were pools of pur-
pie, her mouth a scarlet thread"
"Well, Sylvia, what about your
friendT Her husbands voice fetched
her back to the matter in hand. She
hesitated, pushed her mullins aside,
drew a deep breath and plunged:

worlds conventions"
Sylvia had risen from the table, and
now flung herself with an air of dain.
ty, defiant bravado on a couch in the
corner. Mr.. Browne began stroking
that firm chin of his in a way that
signifed nothing to his wife, but even
the clerks in his Office knew it to be q
sign of deep perpleXity.
And that's what you want my ad-
vice about?" he said slowly, at last.

on measuredly: -:
ITO be sure, Sylvia, if your friends

her, or didn't support her, she might
get divorce in conventional order.
For myself, I'm not in for divorces;

be. But If she leaves him and runs off
with another nativity, do you real

covered the answer to the conundrum,
What becomes of pins?" He has
found that pins are resolved into dust.
Hairpins, which he watched for 154
days, disappeared by rusting away at
the end of that time. Bright pins took
nearly eighteen months to disappear;
polished steel needles nearly two and
half years; brass pins had but little
endurance; steel pens at the end of
fifteen months had nearly gone, while
their wooden holders were still intact

The nervous woman, Heaven pity her,
She makes herself and everybody around
her perfectly miserable. Sometimes
there's cause for the nervousness, and
then she's to be pitied, and sometimes
it's just a habit one gets into OF being
unreasonable and fussy and generally
looking on the blue side OF everything.
When the nervous system gets out OF
order the whole system lags in sympathy.
The digestive system. the liver and the
heart all refuse to do their work. Every
nervous woman should eat five or six
times day. She should eat three meals.
have lunch between meals, and never
omit the warm drink taken Just before
she goes to bed. Gentle exercise and
work are as necessary TO the woman with
nerves as food and fresh air An active
interest in life will be her salvation, but
generally the woman in such a condition
think she isn't interested in a thing in
life, so she must keep at work until she
develops an interest.
A celebrated physician has said: IF
you wish never to be nervous live with
reason, have purpose in life and work
for 1t; play joyously, strive not for the
unattainable, be not annoyed by trihes,
aim to attain neither great knowledge
nor great riches, be not self centred
but love the good and thy neighbor as
myself" A celebrated and charming
actress, whose age it would be rude to
chronicle, but who still looks quite young
though she is grandmother, gives the
