penitentiary has largely subsidized
due chiefly to the installation of
the shirt factory which is now in
successful operation. We believe
that voters will be wise if they
vote against the twine plant levy
for it is very doubtful if the levy
would raise sufficient funds and
in the second place there are not
enough inmates in the penitent-

Although this is campaign
year one would scarcely know it
from a perusal of most of the
South Dakota papers. The re-
publican ticket in Turner County
is absolutely safe aud will be
elected by majorities ranging
from 500 up. Consequently the
Herald has not felt like burden
ing its readers with needless
campaign gush. Where there is
a fight on let the strenuous life
be followed but in this county
the campaign is one of pure en-
joyment for the republicans.

There are four constitutional
amendments to be voted on this
fall all of which are published IN
another column of the Herald. The
first provides for additional quail
fcations for superintendents. The
second allows cities of over 5000
population to create a police
magistrate. The third provides
for the levying special tax to
establish twine factory al the
penitent1ary. The fourth allows
town and village boards to dig
bitches and drains.

Certainly don't. She was only a school girl,
and therefore entirely too young to have her

been content 10 study her lessons. and to have
callers once a week her father told her No

had some education different from the kind that
Laura Jean Libbey deals out, end until she is
old enough to have seen something of the world.
But Of course. when young girls are that age they
fancy that their store of worldly wisdom is a
dead weight on their young shoulders and con-
sequentiy nobody can give them any advice.
Their parents naturally know much more about
liic than they do, but YOU can never hope to
make them believe it. They may believe in the
abstract that older people know more than young
ones but then they are the exceptions that prove
the rule"
'Jm willing TO agree to all that" the floor
walker said, but don't you think that the father
was unnecessarily severe?"
"Oh, undoubtedly" she replied ''He most
certainly went about the matter in the wrong

as being her lifes happiness And she sighed
deeply.

"Well, it's sad all around for everybody CON
cerned But in my story you are only sad for

She was apparently only too eager 10 tell it,
for she began almost before the words were out
of his mouth. "My storys about much older

The captain sat holt upright, look of terror

"What-me?" he gasped

"A-ah but you will, cap'nt-yoh will" Mr..

to me. You must go balmly-"
You've said that afore. Hatred 'Eavytop,"
remarked the captain testify.
"Mebbe / ave, Cap'n Barnacle-mebbe I ave;
but if you'd rather put up with bein' eenpecked
than to ave the advice of friend well, I ave
no more to say on the subject" and with lord
ly air MIR. Heavytop prepared to quit the little
cabin.
"Steady, Hatred, I meant no harm. really
Come, now, sit down, there's a good chap, and
let's ave your plan"
After much persuasion, the first mate acceded
to the captains pleadings, and sat himself down
again.
''You must go balmly,' he repeated. Captain
Barnacle groaned. "You must develop what is
called a mania"
whats that, Halfred?"
"a mania is scientific term, Cap'n. that means
a sort of a-well, I hardly know how to explain
it to you. It's kind of complication and means
that-but no matter; as long you ave mania
you're all right Now your line O. goods in
the mania way must be 'toouers lar politessy,'

remarked Captain Barnacle with admiration.

Heavytop modestly. "But do you see my idea,

You must always be on your best behavior, al

delighted grin spread over Captain Barnace's
weatherbeaten face, and he shook his first mate
by the hand.
''Halfred, you're a wonder. What a thing it
is to ave brains, Hatred amt it?''
With becoming modesty Hatred acknowledged
that 1t very useful.
1t was Sunday morning. and Captain Barnacle
was busy smoking his pipe and looking up the
river when suddenly Mr.. Heavytop, who was
standing close by, noticed peculiar expression
on the captains face-a vacuous, idiotic look
that made him jump all over.
He went across and took the captain by the

again, more lugubriously than before
The foorwaker proceeded to look properly
sympathetic. What kind Of d story was it:D
he asked
A love story-the story Of two bIghted lives 20
And she dabbed at each eye with QUE corner Of
her handkerchief
Well it's too bad that it affects you like that
but don't you know that a woman always cries
over love story. whether it's lad OF not"
But this one really is sad" she insisted lool

Indeed! Well, heard sad love story to.

Immediately she was all excitement "Oh, tell
me about it, Was it really SO very sad:"
Yes, | think it was quite sad, but you'll cry
anyway, whether it was sad OF not SO that
your tears wont 90 to prove anything
There | just won't cry and she stuffed her
handkerchief up her sleeve. II won't take il out
unless its absolutely necessary absolutely, do
you understand
The Aoorwalker smiled at this remark, but he
made no comment upon it, "Wel, you see it was
this way" he began. "She was very Young. a
twenty, and had already started to make name
for himself as an illustrator. He used to come
to see her pretty nearly every night in the week,
and finally, Papa said that his visits were inter
fering with her lessons and that he must in f,l
ture come only once week. But once a week
was not enough to satisfy Mr.. Youngloye's ardor
SO when he exceeded the limit, Papa gently but
firmly told him that he was not to come anv
more So the two took to meeting on street cor
ners' and at the houses OF her friends, until one
he sent detective to watch them"
What! A detective"
'Yes a detective Finally, friend of Mr.
Younglove's found out about this, and put him
