RELATING TONRON.
O1scOvery of the Metal, According to
Various Authorities.

Discovery of the Metal, According to
Various Authorities.
The Bible speaks of Tubal Cain as
the discoverer of iron and the father
Of smiths. The Egyptians imputed to
Hephaestus the same honor, while PHI
ny mentions it having been discovered
by Dactyles on Mount Ida after the
forests on the mountain side had been
destroyed by lightning. This was about
1,432 years B. G. jeremiah and EZe-
kiel both mention iron in their Scrip
tural writings, the latter specially men
tioning two qualities Of the metal and
calling one bright iron, which was prob
ably steel.
Moses mentions an iron furnace, and
Job speaks of it as being taken out Of
the earth. Thousands Of years before
the opening of the Christian era the
Egyptians used iron in making sickles,
knives and such things Sparta first
used iron for money. Britain also used
1t as a medium Of barter and exchange
prior to the conquest by the Romans.
The Britons before the time of Christ
used to export iron to Gaul, and after
the Roman conquest the conquerors es-
tablished extensive smelling works,
which existed at least as late as the
Saxon conquest.-St. James Gazette.

Mr.. Bentley, the self-appOlnted
Purif1er or Politics.

Big Stone Headlight: The
Headlight has received q COM
munication signed by two gen.
tlemen who were with Mr.. Bent
ley in his campaign of two years
ago, concerning his recent deni-
al that he posed as an organiza
ton man at any time two years
ago. We quote from their let
ter, 1--WE will advise you of the
fact that Mr.. Bentley refused
absolutely to promise Crawford
his support at this time or any
time during the campaign. We
would also state that Mr.. Craw-
ford came to us and asked what
was the matter with Bentley,
that he could not get any salts
faction out of him. That at all
times before the convention he
was riding both horses; that af-
ter the county convention he
told US to keep our mouths shut,
and not to holler Crawford, be-
cause we were going to Sioux
Falls to get on the bandwagon.
This was Bentley's position un-
ill he got to Sioux Falls and
found the bandwagon was full.
In connection with this testi-
mon yit might be we'll to notice
the fol lowing resolu tion, adopted
by Mr.. Bentley s convention two
years ago, and reported by a
com mittee of which Mr.. Bentley
was the chairman. 1t is the
second resolution and is as fol.
lows:
1--WE point with pride to the
record of our STATE OFFICIALS
both at home and in the halls of
our nationalcapit0l."
This reso luton seems to be
conclus i've confederation, if any
is needed, of the assertion that
Mr.. Bentley was playing to the
galleries at that time just as he
is today.
No man who is at all familiar
with public business can give
the administration of state af.
fairs in South Dakota today a
candid examination without COM
ing to the conclusion that our
state is a remarkably we'll gov
erned and economically admins
tered com monwealth. We doubt
very much that the political ex.
altation of Mr.. L. FL. Bentley
would tend to purify it further.
Do you know Mr.. Bentley?"

AN EMPEROR'S TASTE.
i Was the Origin Of a Common Say.
ing In Austria.

i Was the Origin Of Common Say.
Ing In Austria.
An anecdote which was current of
Ferdinand L. of Austria at one time
greatly delighted his subjects and gave
rise to common saying. One sum-
mer day he was hunting in the Syrian
mountains and was Overtaken by
violent thunderstorm. He sought ref
uge in farmhouse whose occupants
were just then at dinner, and his fan
cy was caught by some smoking dump
lings made Of coarse flour. He tasted
them, liked them and asked for more,
and when he got to Vienna, to the hor-
rOr of the royal cooks, he ordered the
same dumplings to be served up daily.
such coarse dish should figure ON
the menu, and even his physicians re-
monstrated against the use of such
food.
The emperor had always been the
most plant Of men, but he now show
ed that he had a will Of his own and
persisted in gratifying his new fancy.
Finally the physicians pretended that
1t was dangerous to his health to be
living on dumplings and insisted on his
giving them up. The hitherto docile
sovereign stamped his foot and de-
clared that he would never sign anoth-
er official document If his diet were
denied him.
Emperor l am," he shouted, land
dumplings / will havew
To prevent a stoppage Of the govern
ment machinery opposition was with
drawn, and his majesty clung tena-
ciously to his dumplngs. Then the i'm
perial phrase became proverbial. and
thereafter when any one insisted on
gratifying a silly whim some one was
sure to say:
Emperor am, and dumplings l will
havew

Conger Eels.

Conger eels hunt for the octopus and,
when found. proceed to browse on its
limbs. The octopus tries to hug the
slippery. Shiny conger tight. but in
vain. and, finding It's limbs growing
less. discharges it's ink In the face Of
the foe and under cover of the turbid
water beats hasty retreat. 1t Is to
escape the too pressing attention Of its
foes that the octopus possesses the
power Of changing its color to CORE
