CHRISTIANS DAY

In Rapid City, was observed,
perhaps asi it was never observed
before. There was a good cheer
and a cheeriness in the air, that
good-humored and old-fashion-
ed, and wholesome, that the
very elements took part in it.
The sun itself, smiled with a
mildness soft, and balmy, as of
springtime. Indeed every day
is a spring day in Rapid City
when the sun shines. Those
that came downtown in the
morning for their mail, every
other business but Uncle Sans
business and the business Of
making merry having been sus-
pended for the day, met every
body else with a merry Christ
mas smile that never did come
off. They went about together
then to enjoy the day and to
get into their systems the sew
eral brands Of Christmas spirit,
but it was all Of agood and pure
brand, and nothing came Of it
but "good will to men and
peace on earth. AL was charity,
and kindness, and many were

men unknown to the charitable
organizations, who saw to it

and how that work appears
to look back upon. If

man who has a clear bill Of
health as to his conscience,
and no vain regrets, nor
hopes deferred, for his past
years record. He is alert
clear-eyed and ready to do
bettcr things in the yearbe-
fore him. Rapid City is
thus equipped for 1907.
As to what Rapid City has
done in the year past, and

Another step toward the organization
Df decent system Of highways in the
| United States was taken recently when
the office of public roads in Washing
| ton moved from its old quarters on
Twelfth street to new building that
has been specially put up for it's ac-
rommodation on Fourteenth street Just
south Of the bureau of engraving and
printing, says the Washington Star.
All the testing apparatus has been
moved from the basement of the old
bureau of chemistry at the corner Of
Fourteenth and B streets into the new
building, and for the first time in its
history the road Office has building
and laboratory of its own all under the
same roof There is the testing labora
tory on the ground floor, light roomy
place big enough to accommodate the
work for some time to come. The adj
ministrative offices are on the second
floor, and in the third story there are
the stock rooms and the chemical labo-
ratory, where a large amount Of re-
search work Is carried on.
1t has never been the purpose Of the
government to go into the work Of road
building on an extensive scale. There
is not money enough at the disposal of
the government in the first place, and
this has always been regarded as state
work. But several years ago the gov
eminent commenced to accumulate in
formation and statistics on the subject
of road work through a branch Of the
department Of agriculture known as
the office Of road inquiries This work
expanded till the road office, as it is
now called, is sort of experiment sta
tion in itself. While it does no road
building except as an object lesson to
any community interested in the sub
ject, it has found it necessary to estab-
lish chemical and mechanical laborato-
rtes, and it is now the source Of all
sorts Of information for communities
that want to build roads of their own.

| UNITED STATES OBJECT LESSON ROAD,
| the way it ought to be done There is
a great dearth OF competent highway
engineers in this country. 1t Is a work
that has never been seriously taken I'D
by the American people, and they are
just beginning to realize the need of 1t.
This need the road office is trying to
supply.
When locality decides that it is go
Ing to put In road and spend a certain
amount Of money on it, the local au-
thorities can apply, if they desire, to
the road Office. 1t will test their avail
able material and tell them what is the
best and cheapest sort Of road to build
Samples are sent in to the office
daily. There Is a great awakening all
over the country on the subject of road
construction, and the government, while
1T cannot build roads itself for the va
r1ous communities, is ready to give ex-
pert advice, not wherever it is wanted
but SO far as it is able The fact is
that the requests for engineers and
advice far outrun the capacity Of the
office. There are men out now in all
sections of the country-severaI parties
along the Atlantic seaboard, some in
the middle west, in the far west and on
the Pacific coast. Wherever commu-
nifty shows itself thoroughly in earnest
and is willing to spend good money in
road construction the road Office does
its best to get working party there.
Tt has developed several schemes that
have been of value in road building
Reference was made some time ago to
the "burnt clay roads that had been
tried in the gumbo mud regions of the
south. These have proved a success
and have stood up well, making roads
possible where there Is no stone and
where there has never been wet
weather road before The burnt clay
idea is being developed with view to
helping out other communities where
rock is scarce.
There are a good many places where
there is a dearth Of good road building
rock. Clay is plentiful to the point of
being a nuisance in a good many
places, especially in Virginia, where
Virginia mud has passed into a PROV
erb. The road Office is now expert
menting with burning the Virginia
clays, and owing to the fact that clay
once burnt loses its power of getting
sticky under the action of water, there
lis some hope that the road problem in
Virginia may be partly solved through
the burnt clay agency.
The office has carried on d good
many other interesting experiments,
among others the use of tar and oil On
roads, and while it is. too early yet to
say just how surfaces treated in this
way will wear, the results so far OBJ
tanned have been satisfactory and

First Matrimonial Agency.

The title Matrimonial Agencies and
Advertisements ought to attract at
tention in our time, when requests for
marriage fill the journals in the form
Of gross or jocular and sometimes seri-
GUS announcements. That may seem
to be a new phenomenon of modern
life, yet M. Henri dAlmeras in La
Revue Hebdomadaire says the real
originator Of this industry was one Vii
laume. In the last days Of the empire
he set up in Paris a sort of universal
agency, which would supply furnished

CONTROL OF ENERGY.
IL 1t Possible For the Human Race
to Avert Extinction?

The only conceivable way in which
the human intelligence can ever sue
coed in averting the procession of the
great year" is not by postponing the
issue, but by reversing the process.
The question is this: While energy is
being diSSipated in accordance with
the natural law, can we so manipulate
things as to accumulate energy, MAX
ing the unavailable available-notwith-
, standing the fact that cosmic processes
seem to be essentially reversible?
Now there is assuredly no inherent
reason why we should not accomplish
this. 1t is true that hitherto all the
atomic evolution that has been OBJ
served is atomic disintegration. We
may speak now, indeed, Of the analysis
Of the elements. But SO it was, we
may remember, that the older chem
istry began, and yet analytic chemis-
try was the precursor Of synthetic
chemistry. We began by breaking up
compounds, but now we can make
them-can, indeed, make compounds
hitherto unknown in nature. Similar
~, it is more than probable that we
shall ere long learn to achieve the
synthesis of the elements as we'll as
their analysis, No energy is ever lost.
Even when the radium atom, itself the
child of the uranium atom, breaks
down and dissipates its energy, ending,
it is supposed, as the dull atom Of lead
the original energies are not destroyed
Why should they not be gathered up
again and thus again become avail
able? Are matter and energy to go on
their way, ultimately destroying the
human race? For myself, incline to
the view that victory will rest at last
with "man's unconquerable mind

FOR COUNTY ATTORNEY.

To the voters Of Chouteau County:
Gentlemen:-
At the earnest solicitation of a mum
Der of citizens of this county of both
political parties, l now announce NV.
self as candidate for nomination tc
the Office of County Attorney on the
Democratic ticket at the next primary
election.
I am of the opinion, after careful
reading of the laws of our state and
thorough search of the authorities
and cases, that any and all interest
heretofore paid by any banking insti-
tuition upon funds of this county
held by the county treasurer or other
officer for safe keeping and disburse-
ment under the law, is the property
of the county, and that an action
would lie against any such officer and
his suretieS on his official bond for
the recovery of any such interest
which he may have failed to properly
account for and turn over to the use
of the county.
If nominated and elected to the
office of County Attorney l will see
to it that actions are brought and
vigorously prosecuted to recover all
such interest which has not been
properly accounted for, without delay,
and I will further take care tina
no officer, during my holding of such
office, with holds to his own use any
of the interest SO paid regardless as
to whether such officer did, or did
not, before election pledge himself to
account for such interest; and in
every way to the limit of my ability
l will try to fulfill the duties of that
office so as to merit your approval.
Very sincerely yours,

An Oddly In Toes and Dieits.

There is one curious fact respecting
the animal creation with which you
will never become acquainted If you
depend on your text books for informa-
ton. 1t is this: No living representa-
tive of the animal kingdom has more
than five toes, digits or claws to each
foot, hand or limb. The horse is the
type of one toed creation; the camel of
the two toed; the rhinoceros of the
three toed and the hippopotamus of
four toed animal life. The elephant

ing to different orders belong to the

The Tally Stick.

An old time way of proving ones
right to the payment of money loaned
was by tally sticks. A plain stick was
used, and when man loaned a sum a
stick was broken, and the creditor and
debtor each took a part When the
time for payment came the man who
had the stick which fitted exactly to
the stick held by the creditor received
the money, Two sticks never break
in exactly the same shape, so there
was never any dispute about who had
right to the money.

NAILED TO THE CROSS.
The Two Thieves That Were Cruel
fed With the Saviour

In nine out of ten pictures of the cru
cifixion where Christ's two companions
in death are represented they are pic
tured as having been fastened to the
cross with thongs or cords. The ques-
ton naturally arises, Were the thieves
in reality bound to their different in
struments of torture while the blessed
Saviour was nailed to his? And. if So
which mode of death was considered
the more ignominious-bin or nail
ing? The remoteness of the event and
the fact that in this case historical truth
may have been sacrificed to pictorial
effect make the above questions hard
ones to answer The early writer's al
most invariably refer to the thieves as
having been nailed to the cross, while
the early picture makers adhered to
the general rule Of representing them
as having been tied or bor1ad to their
separate crosses.
II we are to give any credence to the
story of the holy Empress Helen ana
her reputed discovery of the three
crosses in the year 1913 A. D., the two
thieves were nailed to their crosses in
q manner similar to that observed in
the crucitiXion of the Saviour. This
conclusion has been settled upon for
this reason: When the three crosses
were disinterred from the mound in
which tradition said they had been
buried, that upon which Christ had
suffered was only distinguished from
tho othaI, two Inv 4bo M NON
formed. This would certainly suffice
to prove that all three of the instru-
ments Of torture bore similar nail
marks and that the tradition of Christ
being the only one nailed was not
known at that time.-St. Louis Repub-
