The Miller sun. (Miller, Hand County, S.D.) 190?-19??, 1906-12-01

Driving against snow and
wind 10 their bomesteads
west Of the Missiori river
migrants are daily vending
their way through here
towards the setting sun.
Many Of them have come
from the east part Of the
state or from adjoining
states. The government al :
lows no leave Of absence
anless a home has been
first established on the
land. In many instances
the local land office has
given leaves, of absence but
only in certain emergencies
are those held good at the
general land Office. Those
who fled last summer will
have to get onto the land
though the billiards get
them if they hope to hold
their claims. And many
who are now away on
leaves Of absence who
formerly established a home
there may lose their land
if it is contes ted.

The Northwestern rail-
way has discovered and
opened north Of the town
Biuut one Of the greatest
gravel pits in the the United
States if not in tie world.
The company has branch
roads or spur. out to it and
is carrying by the ira inload
to the roadbed west of
Pierre, where every tie has
to be tamped with the coarse
material TO make it stick to
the gumbo soil. This is
what is causing the delay in
the building the road west.
The last report which came
reliable the road had been
grayeled only 81 miles west.
But the company has now
put a,nigbt force in the sand
pit and in this way can take
the gravel west by daylight
and maybe will make some
better time. Il the roadbed
has to be tamDed with gra-
vel clear through to Rapid
City from this same sand
pit as may be the case un-
less gravel is discovered
west Of the river, the delay
will be very great. This
tamping Of the ties to keep
them from slipping was an
unforeseen part in the
building IF the road.

The unusually cold wave
so early for this seetio n
caused numerous prophecies
for future weather from
local forecasters of more
or less prominence who
have established some re-
putation as climate fore
seers, in the past.
Mayor Charles Thompson
an expert in grain, and who
also sells coal, who would
naturally be seeking or
prophecying cold weather,
says that we may now look
for at least a month Of fine
mild weather.
John Fletcher, a local
prophet of accurate aim,
says the winter will be mild
without much snow.

An agency item in the
Forest City Press says:
THE coal that was brought
here from Firesteel creek
and is being used in the
furnace at the agents office,
is giving satisfactory re-
suits as We are informed.
The expense of hauling is
to great however for it to
be sold here, but the agent
announces that he will have
it hauled to supply all of
the government stations
along the Moreau river. viz:
Whitehorse, Onthetree, and
Greengrass.

True, Very True.

Had Yaquina Bay been kept open, as
it could have, been, it would not have
been necessary for the Willamette val
ley to have suffered the enormous loss
it has from car shortage. Had va
quina harbor been kept open, as it
could have been, millions of feet of
lumber could have been rushed to San
Francisco following. the disaster, reliev-
ing the traffic congestion here as we'll AS

Now, t.cre was n certain girl, and
she had three wooers. The first wooer
said she was the whole world to him,
but she frowned upon his suit. The
second wooer said she was the sun,
moon and stars to him, but she bade
him be on his way
ITO me-" said the third, "you are q
young woman of agreeable manners,
with eyes that might be little bluer,
with n nose that is wee bit puggy
and with few freckles and an annoy
ing habit Of blurting out your
thoughts
She married the third wooer. Being
pressed for an explanation Of her con-
duct, she sold:
My goodness! I think I was sensi-
bic. married the only one that had
courage enough to tell me of my faults
before marriage, instead of waiting to
throw them up to, me afterward."-

Two Types of biographical writing.

Two Types of Biographical Writing.
1t Is an Interesting fact In the history
of literary genres that two of the great
examples of biographical writing occur
almost side by side. Less than decade
separates the completion of Johnson's
Lives of the Poets" from the publica-
tion of his own life by Boswell Yet
with the latter book new type Of
biography came into being. Johnson,
in the main, had, like most of his pred
ecessors, followed simple narrative
and expository method, prefxing a
plain story Of the poets life to sys-
tematic account of his character and u
critical estimate Of his works. He
gathered his facts and impressions to-
gether and spoke for the author and for
himself. Boswell, on the other hand,
making use Of more dramatic meth
od, succeeded in his attempt to let the
author reveal himself, and, instead Of
an exposition of character, painted q
picture of personality to which his own
comments were subordinate. What we
see rs type of mind and character in
Johnson9 work we see as a living man
In Boswell-Wllliam r. Brewster in
Forum.

Wednesday afternoon Mr..
Howard, who had been making
his home with his daughter,
Mrs. |. w. Evans, of Washing
ton township, was found in the
hog lot, his body badly mangled
and life extinct. The old
gentleman was about 80 years
of age and had been enfeebled
for a number of years. He had
wandered away from the house
and was missed and when found
it was discovered that the hogs
had badly mulilated the body.
Whether he had become fatig-
ued and died or whether the
hogs had attacked him is not
known. He has a son John in
this city, jim who moved to
Oklahoma something like a
year ago, and a daughter to
mourn the loss of this life

If any doubt the variety of
Iowa weather, let the doubter
consider the weather for the
past twenty-five days. 1t has
showed, rained, sleeted, blew,
sunshined, then cloudy again,
then snow, and Sunday it rain
ed again all day. Those who alb
ject to sprinkling made this an
excuse to remain away from

one should object to sprinkling
if done by God himself, yet ma
ny are very shy of water. These

The Desire to Live.

In connection with the kill
incurables bill, recently intro
duced in the legislature at Des
Moines, and then quickly with
drawn in response to a storm of
protest, jest and derision, this
question put by a writer in an
eastern paper is interesting,
whether the Iowa bill was u
Joke or not: "Does anyone
ever think of the effect of the
effect of the printed discussion
concerning euthanasia upon
that class of the community
which is most intimately con-
cerned in its RESULT" This
writer reminds those who, with
tut feeling, participate in this
discussion that old and friend
less and incurable people some
times read the papers. Refer
ence is made to the experience
of a woman who has spent a
large share of her life in visit
ing among the sick and poor,
md who often finds it neces-
sary to arrange for the entrance
If some sick person into a hos
pital, who says that she is con-
stantly hampered in this benev-
olent office by the unwilling
ness of the patients to go to a
place where they will be help
less in the hands of strangers.
and that there exists among
them a universal apprehension
that if their cases prove incur
able they will be quietly "put
o1t of the way" to save trouble
to the doctors and nurses.
The writer referred to NOR
Allies on the subject in this
strain: "The are some things
that overcome the conscious
ness of suffering and the desire
to be free from it, and one of
them is that passionate clinging
to our own personality, our one
inalienable' gift of individuality,
of identity, which makes the
weariest of US willing to sit up
until all the lamps but our own
have gone out, and until the
whole world is bitter cold
around us, if we can but still
keep a glimmer of light by
which to study this interesting
book called life"
This is view of the matter
that is generally neglected.
For the most part those who
talk about chloroforming tire
incurable and the aged give
little thought to how the mat
ter may appeal to those most
vitality concerned, whose ident-
ity, or individuality, is, Ky
virtue of the very discussion
itself, ignored. Such discussion
seems to disregard the strong
est bond of human sympathy,
the common desire to keep the
light burning. -Nonpareil.
