Ulin stepped back to her dressing
table and picked up her Jewels, and
for a moment she bowed her head upon
her folded hands. When she looked
up her fair brow was serene, and the
tremulousness had gone from her lip.
Shubal took the bundle Of clothing,
n then the party moved out from
the chamber. They gained the gar
den, and passed out by the small gate;
and when they had reached the street
they led off with a quick step. There
was a sentinel at the city gate, but
he did not trouble those who passed
out. AS Shubal had promised, he
found horses at a small stable beyond
the wall, and In less than an hour from
the time Of leaving her chamber the
princess was safely in the saddle.
with her face turned toward the north
ern mountains.
At the distance Of two leagues
from the city they came to a small
strip Of wood, through which their
path lay, where they stopped to let
their horses drink from a living spring.
Shubal had dismounted to hand some
water up to the females, and was just
in the act Of dipping the cup, when
he was startled by the sound of a step
close at hand, and upon lifting his
head he found a man standing directly
before him. It was too dark to distin-
guish features, but Shubal could seq
that the stranger was tall and stout,
and that his garb was not of Damas-
Gus.
"Ha! Who is this demanded Shu-
bal moving back a pace.
II am a man, and have sought the
spring for fresh water" was the an
swer. "And now, who are you?"
Shubal recognized the voice of an
Arab; and as he gazed more sharply
on the fellow, he vas able to see that
the garb was wild and filthy.
Il have sought this spring as you
have, Sir Arab"
"Ah, you recognize my tongue and
nation, do you?"
Yes, and it would seem that you
are ven with me-"
Il know you are a slave, but that
does not tell me whence you come
II come from Damascus"
"Ah-from Damascus! And you
have ladies with you. Perhaps they
have money with them. Perhaps they
have jewels. Damascus is a wealthy
city, and her people seldom travel with
empty purses"
Shubal started up, and laid his hand
upon the hilt of his sword.
Your words give token of a curious
disposition, Sir Arab"
Words are nothing. With a simple
contracting Of the lips I can produce a
sound that has power to call up
spirits from the earth. Hark!"

Tending to the Girls.

Employers who keep children from
school in Germany will be fined not
less than $50 marks. Parents and
guardians are Obliged to provide ma
terial for needlework and other means
of instruction for girls. Otherwise the
school board has the right to obtain
these things by compulsion. Accord
ing to the district physicians act OF
April 1 all public and private schools
are, in hygienic matters, under the
control of an official physician, who
must, at certain intervals, winter and
summer, visit every school in his dis
trict and examine the buildings as well
as inquire concerning the health of the
pupils and the schoolmaster.

Odd Game of Chance.

The traveller over the Kansas prai-
ries finds many towns that once had
water works system, now containing
only a dozen people. The fire plugs
are sticking out in the buffalo grass
and they are the Fairgrounds of prairie
dogs and the roosting places of the
prairie owls. The tendency to clean
up the deserted buildings is taking
away many Of these features. The
courthouse of what was Garfield
county has recently become the prop
erty Of H. Herman, and he lives in the
sumptuous building which did not cost
him q cent. as he homesteaded the
quarter section after the county organ
ization wal abandoned.

Boiling or Cooking in Amy Form De-
stroys Germ Life.
A pure water supply is rightly look
ed upon as one Of the greatest essen
tials to the healthfulness of a COM
munity. Many foods, salads, for exam
pie, cannot be cooked, or subjected to
the effect of a high temperature.
while, on the other hand, washing
them in infected water may render
them the means of conveying disease.
Among the chief ways of preventing
typhoid fever must be mentioned the
care of the stomach itself. It seems
highly probable that the natural juices
Of the healthy stomach are able to des-
troy many germs of disease; but the
number which any stomach may be
able to digest must always be uncer-
tain, and it is not desirable to test
its capacity in this direction. The fact
that only certain persons out Of a num-
Der who have partaken of food or
drink infected with disease germs may
suffer is explainable on the ground of
their different general physical condi-
ton, or OF the varying stages Of their
digestive organs. Boiling or cooking
in any form destroys all germ life;
and food or drink about which there is
a question of typhoid infection should
be subjected to one of these processes
before it is taken into the stomach

Among the hills of Sligo there is

N FOR CAPITOL.
Land Sales to Raise Funds for State
Building Are Encouraging.

Land Sales to Raise Funds for State
Building Are Encouraging.
State Land Commissioner Bach has
returned from Mcpherson county,
where he held a second offering of
state building lands. He disposed of
700 acres, all to residents of the coun.
ty, who took the land at the minimum
price of $40 an acre, bringing to the
fund another $1,000. This sale, with
the former one held, has brought the
fund from that county alone to more
than S25, 900.
Besides these sales the department
Is disposing Of tracts at private sale
on the same terms as the offerings at
the auction sale. In the last week 240
acres has been disposed Of in Ed.
munds county, where there vas not a
bid at the time of the auction.
Commissioner Bach is well pleased
with the outlook and thinks there will
be no trouble in disposing of the re-
quired amount of land to proceed with
the work on the capitol building early
next spring. AS soon as the spring
land business opens there probably
will be another offering at auction in
all counties east of the river where
such lands are located.

FINDS COAL ON FARM.
Township Near Sioux Falls Excited
Over Discovery.

over Discovery.
Information has been received at
Sioux Falls of the striking of a vein Of
Ignite coal six feet thick and twenty
feet below the surface of the ground
on a farm in Lyons township, near
Sioux Falls. The vein was struck
while the farmer who owns the land
was engaged in sinking a we'll. After
exploring the depth of the vein work
was abandoned until machinery can
be secured for the purpose of opening
up the vein and discovering if the coal
is in sufficient quantities to pay for
mining operations. Much excitement
prevails over the discovery. If the
coal proves to be ample in quantity it
will save thousands of dollars each
year to the farmers who reside in the
vicinity. Samples of the coal brought
to Sioux Falls show it to be of good
quality. 1t is the intention to sink
shafts at other points in the immedi-
ate vicinity for the purpose of ascer-
tanning the extent Of the vein.

Map Making Made Easy, But Little
knowledge Absorbed.
Little Rob was the prize geogra.
pher of his class; that is, he could 10
cate cities, and bound countries with
great glibness. He could draw the
most realistic maps, printing In the
rivers, mountain ranges and cities
from memory. Rob considered geog-
raphy purely In the light Of q game,
in which he always beat, but he never
associated it with the great world
about him. Rivers to him were no
more than black, wiggly lines; cities
were dots and States were blots. New
York was green, Pennsylvania was
red and California was yellow.
Or course Rob had never travelled.
He was born in a canon near the
country school he attended. One day
the teacher made the discovery Of
Rob's idea Of geography through the
following incident. After vainly in.
curing Of several of the children
where British Columbia is located, she
called on Bob, who, as usual, was
waving his hand eXcitedly, wild with
the enthusiasm of pent up knowledge.
1T is on page six~ty-eight," he de-
clared.
After the roar had subsidized the
teacher explained that that was only
a picture of British Columbia. Then
she asked Bob to bound British Co.
lumbia.

Lone lnhabitant of Lyman, S. D., Runs
Village.
The extension of the Milwaukee
railroad westward from Chamberlain
to the Black Hills has played havoc
with some of the little towns which
were established years before there
ever was any prospect that a railroad
would be built through Lyman county.
A conspicuous example of what has
happened to these towns that were left
off the route of the new railroad eX-
tension is the little town of Lyman,
which at one time promised to become
quite an important hamlet. 1t now has
only one male inhabitant, In the per-
son of L. l.. Armstrong, a pioneer resi-
dent of Lyman county and of the town
of Lyman. He states that he is now
the entire town of Lyman, from post
master to chief of police, and that
when he leaves town the entire male
population of the town goes with him.
Armstrong constitutes the mayor,
board of education, town council and
other officials of the town, and he
thinks he is entitled to ~congratula-
tions, for no matter what official &C.
ton he takes with reference to munich
pal or educational matters there is no
one to criticise or apply for injunc-
tionS.

centerviIie Man Compares Rates ThIr-
ty-three Years Ago With To-day.
N. Noble of Centerville writes Prof.
Kerr that he holds a receipt for the
first car Of freight ever shipped into
Dakota territory. Noble came into the
territory Oct. 26, 1872, on his way from
Mendoza, ILL.,, to Centerville. He came
on the Illinois Central and arrived at
Sioux City when nothing but construc-
ton trains were operating on the line
from that point to Yankton.
He wanted to send his car of freight
as far as possible before unloading it,
and went to the Offices of the new rail-
road company to arrange the matter.
He was at first refused, but persisting,
was finally told that il the conductor
of the construction train would agree
to take his car out it might go. He
hunted up the conductor and, after
treating the train crew to the part of
a barrel of apples, consent was OBJ
tanned. The freight charged for the
trip was SIS. Mobiles wife accompa-
MED him, and as there was nc caboose
attached to the train she rode or the
engine.
The freight charges amounted to
$3.50 to Sioux City, and from that place
to Elk Point, the place where he UNI
loaded, made the total S135. In his let.
ter he remarks that the freight on a
like shipment over the same lines at
the present time would be about $45.
