In an editorial mention of "The
Courthouse Matter" in the! Duluth
Evening Herald of Friday the
writer, in advocating the erection
of a down. town courthouse and city
hall; combined, states that ut is III,
fortunate that the city is not a,
present in a position to hold up its
end of such deal, owing to the
fact that its bonded indebtedness is
nearly up to the legal limit" but
continues with proposition of the
county advancing the funds 70,
such combination building and
taking it's pay in monthly rents OF
yearly installments." Considering
the fact that the iron ranges pay
two thirds, approximately, of the
taxes of the county, such an ar.
rangement would naturally appeal
to the tendency of the average Du.
luthian to do the range in any and
every manner possible, but we
scarce believe the members of the
county board would dare consider
a proposition of the kind any more
than would the range members of
the Legislative. delegation dare to
espouse the passage of law where.
by such deal might be accom-.
plished.

The Patron Saint Of li;bern;a.

While perhaps there is. no indi-
vidual in the history of church or
state whose memory has been kept
so green throughout the ages There
are few of the revered or historical
characters of the past of whom so
little is, known by the people of the
present or of whom history has left
80 scant account as of St. Patrick,
the apostle and patron saint of Ire
land, in whose memory is annually
celebrated the 18th of March.
Notwithstanding these annual
demonstrations even his birthplace
is not certainly known and his dates
are all disputed He says of him.
self, in his Confession, that he was
born Gin the village of Bonavem of
Tabernia," which some think to
have been Kirkpatrick, near Glas-
gov, in Scotland, but which histor-
ians contend was in the province of
Boulogne, in northern France. Ac-
cording to the chronology hitherto
most generally accepted he was
born about 387 and died in 465, on
the 18th of March, the day now sa-
cred to his memory.
When about 16 years of age, as the
story goes, St. Patrick was carried
into Ireland as a slave, becoming a
shepherd. In this occupation he
had much time for reflection, and
drifed into religious frame of
mind. Ireland was then occupied
by great number of petty tribes,
most of which were evangelical by
Patrick, and 80 we'll was the work
done that Ireland was known in
subsequent generations as the "is-
land of the saints" The method
employed was that of dealing eau
tiously and gently witlrthe old pa
ganism of the people. The chief
tains were first won over, and then
through them their clans.
OF Patrick himself much has been
said that is fabulous. But his auto
biographical confession" and his
"Epist1e to Coroticus," both of which
are unquestionably genuine, reveal
to us devout, unlettered man, but
most discreet and energetic mis-
sionary. And while his writings
fail in mention of many of the pres
ent church doctrines, they are filled
with the teachings IF salvation by
faith.

This remarkable woman whose
maiden name was Estes, was born in
Lynn, Mass, February 8, 1919, COM
ing from a good old Quaker family.
For many years she taught school, and
during her career as q teacher she be-
came known as a woman of an alert
and investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above all,
she was possessed with a wonderfully
sympathetic nature.
In 1S43 she married Isaac Pinkham,
q builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and IA daugh-
ter.
In those good old-fashioned days few
drugs were used in medicines; people
relied upon natures remedies, roots
and herbs, which are to-day recognized
as more potent and ~efficacious In con-
trolling diseases than any combination
of drugs.
Mrs. Pinkham from her youth took a
deep interest in medicine, in botany
the study Of roots and herbs, their
characteristics, and power owe dis
ease; she believed that as nature
70 bountifully provides food for the
body so she also provides medicine for
the ills and weaknesses Of the body.
in the roots and herbs of the field,
and as n wife, mother and sympathetic
friend, she often made use Of her
knowledge of roots and herbs in pre-
pairing medicines for her family and
friends.
Knowing Of so much suffering
among her sex, after much study and
research, Mrs. Pinkham believed that
the diseases Of women have a com
mon CAUSE, and she set to work to
find a common remedy-not at that
time AS a source of profit, but simply
that she might aid the suffering.
How her efforts have been rewarded
the women of the world know to-day.
In 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity was too
much for the large real estate inter
ests of the Pinkham family, as this
class Of business suffered most from
this fearful depression, SO when the
Centennial year dawned it found their
property swept away.

Are You Tired, Nervous
and SleeplesS?

Nervousness and sleeplessness are US
ually due to the fact that the nerves are
not fed or properly nourishing blood;
they are starred nerves. DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery makes pure,
rich blood, and thereby the nerves are
properly nourished and all the organs of
the body are run as smoothly as machin-
cry which runs in oil. In this way you
feel clean, strong and StrenuouS-you are
toned up and invigorated, and you are
good for a whole lot of physical or mental
work. Best of all, the strength and in
crease in vitality and health are lasting.
The trouble with most tonics and med
icines which have a large, booming sale
for a short time, is hat they are largely
composed of alcohol holding the drugs in
solution. This alcohol shrinkS up the red
blood corpuscles, and in the long run
greatly Injuries the system. One may feel
exhilarated and better for the time being,
yet in the end weakened and with vitality
decreased. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery contains no alcohol. Every
bottle OF it bears upon its wrapper The
Badge Of Honesty, in a full list Of all its
several ingredients. For the druggist to
offer you something he claims is "juSt as
good " is to insult your intelligence.
Every ingredient entering into the
world-famed Golden Medical Discovery"
has the unanimous approval and endorse
ment of the leading medical authorities
of all the several schools of practice. No
other medicine sold through druggists for
like purposes has any such endorsement.
The "Golden Medical Discovery" not
only produces all the good effects to be
obtained from the use of Golden Seal
root, in all stomach, liver and bowel
troubles, as in dyspepsia, b~iliouSness, con-
stipation, liberation of stomach and
bowels and kindred ailments, but the
Golden Seal root used in its compound

Dealing with Bores.

An amusing incident is related Of
the efforts of certain devotees of bridge
at a club in New York to rid them
selves of unwelcome suggestions as to
their style of play vouchsafed by bores
who persisted in standing about and
looking over the heads Of the play
ers.
One evening one OF the players. per-
haps the most skillful of any of the
members of the club, could endure the
nuisance no longer. Rising, he po-
litely asked one of the bores to clay
the hand for him until his return. The
bore took the cards, and the player left
the room. Soon afterward the second
player followed the example of the
first. The two substitutes played for
awhile without observing The lapse of
time. Finally one Of them called an
attendant and asked:
Where are the gentlemen who were
playing here awhile ago?"
The attendant grinned. They're in
the next room, sir, playing cards"

A Dakota Divorce Upheld-Baroness
Won Veltheim's Decree Sustained
by the Highest Courts In Italy
Case Involves Unusual Romance

Information received at Sioux Falls to
| The effect that the South Dakota divorce
Of Baroness Carrie Won Nelthelm hau
oeen held good in Italy by the court or
! appeals at Rome is an interesting hap
ter in the life story Of a former member
Of the divorce colony in Sioux Falls.
The history of the case proves it to be
In unusual one. In 1899 Carrie Hulse,
daughter of a Dresden banker, married
Giuseppe Cerio, an Italian artist. hi
parties took up their residence at Capri,
Italy. where the bride owned a villa. In
1901 the wife was driven from her home
by the husbands cruelty and obtained Il
decree of separation from the ltallan
courts. 1t appears the laws of Italy DO
not permit an absolute divorce for any
cause.
The wife then returned to the home of
her parents at Dresden and instituted
a suit for an absolute divorce in the Ger
man courts. At the hearing of the suit
it was discovered that the German i'm
perial law did not permit divorce against
n foreigner without his or her consent.
AS the Italian husband refused to APP
pear and consent to the divorce unless
paid a large sum of money the suit was
dismissed.
In 1903 the discarded wife took up her
residence in Sioux Falls, and after es-
tablishing a legal residence in South
Dakota, by her attorney, j. Nj. Donovan,
of that city, instituted in the state cir
cult court a suit for absolute divorce.
The papers were served on the Italian
husband by the United States consul at
Naples and he appeared in the suit through
Sioux Falls attorneys. His attorneys
denied the jurisdiction of the South Da-
kota court to divorce him and alleged
that their client had been deserted by
his wife.
The trial Of the case resulted in a
Judgment of absolute divorce in favor
of the wife and the restoration of her
maiden name of Carrie Hulse. She sub
sequently married Baron Franz Won Welt
helm, of Brunswick, Germany, and
while the bridal couple were on a tour
through Italy, stopping at the brides
villa at Capri, they were arrested on
complaint Of the divorced husband, who
swore that he had no knowledge that
his wife was divorced and that no notice
of such proceedings had ever been Civ
Ell him. Won Veltheim and his wife were
Immediately released on exhibiting a
copy of the divorce proceedings in South
Dakota, the court holding that this de-
cree was binding and conclusive.
An appeal was taken by Cerio to the
high court at Rome, and that court, as
stated, affirmed the ruling of the lower
court and held that the South Dakota
divorce judgment was valid and binding
in Italy. Sioux Falls attorneys who were
interested in the divorce case have now
been advised that the divorced husband
has been made the defendant in criminal
proceedings for perjury and for false
arrest.

He paid his hotel bill and deposited the

Railroad Contractor Begins Work
Where Left or in 1880

NJ. p. Martin, of Pierre, recalls that on
the Oath day of November, 1880, he did
the last work on the Northwestern rail
way extension to the river at Pierre.
When that work was lone it was believed
by all the residents there that the road
would be pushed on to the Black Hills
the following year. But the time of the
Black Hills extension was delayed from
year to year, each new year bringing
hope of the extension. but ending in hope
deferred. This year, just twenty-five
years after the last work was done on
this side of the river, and on the oath
of November, MI. Martin did the first
work for the road OF the west side of
the river on it's new extension to the
Black Hills, Mr.. Martin has been a
resident of Pierre for all that time, and
while he probably had hopes when he
closed the work in 1880 that he would
assist in building farther west, he hard
ly thought that the work would come
TO him just a quarter OF Il century later
to the day.

CRACkSMEN FAIL OF BOOTY
Safe in the Hartford Postofice
Dynamited

The United States authorities in Sioux
Falls were Thursday advised of n desper-
ate attempt which was made early
Thursday morning to rob the p~ostoffice at
Hartford, situated a sort distance west of
Sioux Falls. The robbers gained access to
the building and succeeded in blowing the
outside shell of the safe off, but before
they could prepare another quantity of
explosive and get into the safe they mus
have been frightened, as they abandoned
further efforts and fed.
Two men are supposed to have done the
job. 1t is believed they are the same
men who recently made unsuccessful at
tempts to rob banks at Tea and Spencer,
small towns in the vicinity. From the
fact that they do not appear to under
stand the mechanism of the safes which
they attempted to crack, it is thought
they are amateurs at the business of safe
blowing.
The Hartford case is being investigat-
ed by the federal authorities, who will
make every effort to apprehend the men
