We have too much respect for the
veteran editor OF the Sioux Falls Press
to dub him an old granny, but If the
subjoined isn't the next thing to an
old woman's logic, what Isl:

this land for SO per acre when the
government is Offering $40 acres

through an act of congress, that
the land is unfit for agricultural
purposes.
On the same line of reasoning. if
Congressman Martin should introduce
a bill limiting the number of acres to
40 for a homestead or the remaining
lands west of the Missouri, the capitol
lands out there would at once attract
Il mob fighting for them at $40 an
acre. We are afraid that the Press is
using some of its old 16 to | logic in
this land business. 1t is is no more
possible to legisIate value into land
than into a silver dollar. Some land
produces minerals. some land pro-
duces oil, some land produces coal and
other lands grain or live stock-and
the value of all these lands depends
wholly upon the value of their pro-
ducts. 1t is as impossible to legislate
value into the semi-arid lands be-
tween Pierre and the Black Hills as it
is to legislative value out of the Min
nehaha county farms or detract from
the producing quality of the mineral.

Hiring extra wagon at SOC per day. 1910
In addition to the pay roll
above, two claims for street labor
during month of February were
allowed; also two bills of the
Standard Oil Co.
To avoid confusion, the clerk
was instructed not to list any
bills after the finance committee
makes its report.
The resignation of E. L. Haz-
elton, collector of water and light
rents, which had been accepted
by Mayor Pau1k, was filed. Sew
eral applications for the vacancy
were Immediately read; among
them being one from E. l.. Hazel
ton, who offered to do the collect
ing for $4,000, and who explained
to the council that he had re-
signed the place for which he
was receiving $40, for the reason
that he was required to work at
the water aud light plant in adj
dition to his duties as collector.
Ed. Hussey made application to
do the collecting for a salary of
$500 per moath. The first
ballot stood: Hussey 3, Hazelton
3; and on the second ballot Hus-
sey received 4 and Hazelton 3.
The mayor then declared Mr..
Hussey duly elected.
Report of the special CO nit
tee on Fire Department, which
was favorable to a paid depart

Mr.. J. L. Googe was called on for
an expert fire insurance opinion,

report at next council meeting.
Aid. Ware explained that the

"His Grace de Grammont. -

Unusual interest attaches to the forth
coming appearance of Otis Skinner that al
ways delightful romantic actor at the Co
lumbia Theater a week hence. He will por-
tray the title role in His Grace de Gram
mont" a Clyde Fitch comedy. Philibert
Comte de Grammont, was a unique charac-
ter of his time-the middle seventeenth CEN
tury-and left in his sparkling Memoirs of
the Court of Charles the Second a fasci-
mating picture of that gay Stuart reign
Born in the castle of Semeac on the banks
of the Garonne, De Grammont belonged to
one of the noble families of France and
could claim blood relationship with Henry
the Great himself The young chevalier
served his country with valor In the siege
of Trino, making a heroic figure upon his
prancing white charger before the walls of
the besieged town. By his unquenchable
gayety of spirits he endeared himself to the
army in the trenches even more than by his
valor and his wit made him the boon
favorite of the stern Calvinist general Tu-
renne. De Grammont was the darling of the
camp, but he preferred, after all, the gal
lantry and amours of court life to military
glory, and it is as the graceful, polished
courtier and cavalier of famous coquettes
that this light-hearted, witty, debonair and
typically French beau and man OF pleasure
is most remembered.

AN ACTRESS WITH MANY NAMES
Miss Odette Tyler and Mr.. R. D. MacLean,
who Will appear in THE Heart of Mary
land, may owing to long residence In this
city be considered Washingtonians. Miss
Tyler is Georgian by birth and Mr.. Mac
Lean a Virginian.
Miss Tyler, though many in Washington
know her only as Mrs, Shepherd, was Bes-
sic Kirkland of Georgia, and her husband,
now known on the stage as r. D. Mac
Lean, was R. D. Shepherd of Shepherdstown,
West Va. When Miss Tyler took to the
stage she discarded her name by which her
friends In Georgia knew her, and became
known only as Odette Tyler. Mr. Mac
Lean had, in the meantime, discarded his
Virginia name and was known as X. ID.
MacLean. Since the twain have become
one, the subject of individual nomenclature
has become a matter of some amusement
among the friends of Miss Tyler. To some
she is known as Bessie Kirkland; to multi
tudes of others she is known as Odette
Tyler; to still many others she is known
as Mrs. r. d. MacLean, but in the circle
of intimate friends in Washington she is
known as Mrs. r. d. Shepherd.
