Ttlle piano for Boone to reproduce in
mediately, ana it was unfortunate
that some arrangement was not made
in advance to have a capable Player
present, and one Of the important
features of his concert was thus nee
essarily left out.
Miss Smith sang a number OF rag
time songs, which received several
encores. Boone played the accom-
paniment for the songs and his play
ing of this class of music was some
thing OF a revelation. One listened
as much to the rhythmic playing OF
that seductive music as to the sing
ing and the musician made it a spe-
cial feature.
Boone sang a number of comic
songs that caught the audience in
the right spot. The concert was
highly enjoyed throughout, Boone
remaining constantly at the piano
during the evening, and he seems as
anxious to play as the people are to
hear him.

WILL Be HOME IN A WEEK
DR.. Nicholson Constantly Improving
and Expects to Return Home
Last Of Next Week.

rFhHa
Advices from Chicago indicate the
rapid convalesence OF DR.. Thomas
Nicholson, president of Dakota Wes-
leyan University. AS he has worked
at considerable disadvantage, physi-
cally, for some mouths much appre-
hension was felt throughout the
state when it was found that he must
undergo serious operation for appen-
dicitis and a slight operation for a
kindred difficulty. Some of DIR.
Nicholson's friends haG- been appre-
hensive of serious developments. We
have it on the authority Of the two
surgeons, the chief surgeon one of
the ablest in Chicago, that the opera
tion was in every way successful;
that no other difficulty was discov-
cred; that DIR. Nicholson will be
fully restored to complete and per-
manent good bealth and that he will
be in better physical condition than
for months or even years. Scores of
letters of congratulation are being
received which are duly appreciated.
DR.. Nicholson expects to be back
in Mitchell about June s or 8, and
to take, at best, IL small part in the
commencement exercises Of the
college, which begin Friday, June 8.

BEER.

This Beve.use FIRST BrevSed by
G.s t-s utianS.
Beer is Of geels antiquity. 1t was
manufactured tirst ly the Egyptians
and afterward by the Greeks. Romans
and ancient Gauls. licer was mention
ed by the following ancient writer's:
Tacitus. Pliny, Nenophon and others.
The Romans are supposed to have in
troduced the brewing of beer or ale. as
1t was then called. to the Britons. at
the time of the latter's conquest by the
former. The Britons continued the
brewing of barley malt, calling it ale,
until about 1924, when the Germans
introduced the brewing OF hops with
the barley malt, calling it bier or, in
English. beer.
The history of the New England colo
MES shows that the P%uritans were
great beer drinkers and that for a long
time every innkeeper made his own
beer. In those years beer was the gen
eral and popular drink. In the colony
of Massachusetts, its retail price was
fixed by law at a penny a quart. Its
sale to Indians was not forbidden. A
law of 1649 ordered tina every Wet
ualer or ordinary i%nnkeeper should al
ways be provided with good whole
some beer for the entertainment of
strangers.
The laws of the colony always favor
ed the manufacture of beer, and ever
as late as ten years after Massachu-
sets had become a state a law was
passed entitled, An act to encourage
the manufacture and consumption of
beer, ale and other malt liquors."
The act freed beer from all taxation,
but it came too late after a series of
fiscal laws which for revenue purposes
had made beer dear and led to the inn
portation of cheap rum from Jamaica.

SPECIAL TO ABERDEEN
Road VIII Carry Mitcl
ellis Delegation to Aberdeen
on a Special Train.

The arrangements for getting the
Mitchell delegation to Aberdeen for
the Travelling Mems convention
have been completed, the Milwaukee
officials having Informed the com
mittee late Tuesday afternoon that
a special train would be provided for
the occasion. The train will leave
this city Friday morning at I O'Clock,
and it will be held in Aberdeen Sat-
urday evening until the festivities
are through with.
The program for the two days
which has been arranged for the
convention is sufficiently attractive
as to make the occasion one that
will be greatly enjoyed. Band con-
certs, base ball games, and vaude-
Vile entertainments are provided
and with a parade each day there
will be something doing all the
time.
Mitchell contemplates sending up a
large crowd Friday morning and
every person possible should arrange
to go up and spena two days with
the travelling men. Mitchell wants
the convention for 1907 and the Eore
people who 20 up will indicate how
bad Mitchell wants it. Let's send

Where they Come From and What
They Are Used For.
Cutie bone was olIste made use of as
. medicine, but it is now used by gold
smiths as a polish and by bird ~fanciers
- food for Gagged birds.
This cutie bone, so called, is no bone
at all, but a very wonderful structure
consisting almost entirely of pure chalk
and having been at one time loosely
Embedded in the substance of some de-
parted cuttlefsh. 1t is an oval bone,
white and hard on the outside, but soft
and friable within. and fs Enclosed by
a membranous sack within the body Of
the cutie.
When the cutie is living this .struc-
ture runs through the entire length Of
the abdomen and occupies about n
third Of its breadth. In weight cutie
bone is extremely light, and II it be
cut across and examined through a
lens the cause of the lightness will at
ono be apparent. 1t is not solid, but
is formed Of a succession of exceed
ingly thin floors of chalk, each con
nected with each by hundreds of the
smallest imaginable chalky pillars.
Many persons attribute sepia. or Chi
nese ink, to the cuttleish. They are,
however, in error, for sepia is a manu-
facture of SCOT and fine gums. The err
ror may be due to the fact that the
cuttlefsh has an internal sac under the
throat, a the liver, that contains a
very dark natural ink. When pursued
by enemies the cutie elects this inky
substance aud thereby forms q cloud
Of darkened water all about it and
hides in this water until out of danger.
